Chapter 307 – Tenth Official Livestream (Prelude)

On March 1st, all schools in Jinzhou City reopened.

At 7:30 in the morning, the Chen family’s four young masters left home and went to school together after finishing their breakfast.

As usual, Chen Yu took on the role of a human shelf, carrying his three little sisters’ backpack and his own backpack as he led the way.

“Ah... Why does time pass so quickly,” Chen Erke pouted in dissatisfaction upon entering the elevator. “I haven’t even finished my winter homework yet.”

“Aren’t you embarrassed to say that?” Chen Yike said as she glanced at her little sister. “You’ve been playing with your phone all vacation. Just wait for your form teacher to give you a beating.”

“Impossible! I’m the class representative. I’m responsible for checking everyone’s homework. How can I possibly let other people find out I didn’t do my homework?”

“Aren’t you afraid that your form teacher will check yours?”

“At that time, I can just take a random classmate’s homework and write my name on it,” Chen Erke said as she puffed up her chest proudly.

“Power abusing scum.” Giving Chen Erke a look of contempt, Chen Yu said, “Just look at yourself. Do you look anything like a student?”

“Did you do your winter homework, then?” Chen Erke said, unwilling to submit.

“Heh, I haven’t done any homework since kindergarten,” Chen Yu said with his nose upright.

Chen Erke: “...”

Holding her forehead, Chen Yike asked, “Is that something to be proud of?”

“Wah!” Clapping her hands, Chen Sanke said, “Big Brother is amazing!”

“It’s nothing. All you need is to develop your perseverance and resistance to beatings.”

“Don’t lead children astray!”

After exiting the elevator, the four siblings walked on their usual route. And in less than five minutes, the group arrived at the kindergarten Chen Sanke studied at.

Halting his footsteps, Chen Yu placed Chen Sanke’s backpack on her back and patted her little head. “Go on. Make sure to listen to your teachers, and don’t fall.”

“Mhm!” Nodding, Chen Sanke wobbled her way through the school gate with her two short legs.

“Let’s go.”

After seeing a female teacher receiving Chen Sanke, Chen Yu turned around and continued leading the way.

Roughly seven minutes later, the group of three arrived before the entrance of a bustling grade school.

“Take it,” Chen Yu said as he passed the backpack in his right hand to Chen Erke. He then hooked a finger at his little sister and continued, “Gimme your phone.”

“Ah?” Taking a step back after receiving her backpack, Chen Erke said, “I didn’t bring my phone.”

“Bullshit. Hand it over quickly.”

“I really didn’t bring it.” Chen Erke shrugged. “A student must study hard. How can I possibly bring my phone to school and interfere with my studies?”

“Do you even believe these words you’re saying?”

“...No.”

“Give it to me.”

“Uu...” Biting her lips, Chen Erke hesitated for a long time before untying her trousers and reluctantly pulling out her phone from her crotch.

“...” Chen Yu was dumbfounded.

Chen Yike shifted her gaze away.

“Here.” After placing the phone in Chen Yu’s hand, Chen Erke ran into the school compound in a huff and disappeared.

“...We can’t keep this little sister of ours anymore.”

“Mhm.”

...

After sending off his three little sisters, Chen Yu walked through four traffic lights and arrived at Jinzhou City’s Sixth High School.

When he entered Class 2-2, he found that the classroom was the same as usual.

Some students were eating snacks, some blinding others with their relationships, some making boastful claims, and some watching anime on their phones. Everyone thoroughly displayed the graceful bearing of Sixth High’s students.

“Hey! Brother Chen, you’re here?” Leaning against the balcony, Li Liang rubbed his bald head as he greeted Chen Yu warmly, “Happy New Year.”

Hearing this, Chen Yu looked over and squinted, “When did our school install balcony lights?”

“Your mouth is getting more and more inhuman.”

“How was your winter break?” Sitting on his seat, Chen Yu tossed his backpack aside and crossed his legs. “It seems your right arm grew a lot stronger.”

“Perseverance will prevail,” Li Liang said as he tugged on his pants.

“Tsk, tsk. I can’t help but feel ashamed for you.”

“Idiot.”

“Retard...”

After greeting his good friend whom he hadn’t seen for a while and expressing their profound friendship with each other, Chen Yu opened his backpack and blew at it. “Hu!”

Dust scattered into the air.

“Bah.” In contempt, Li Liang said, “Have you not read any of the books inside since vacation began?”

“Have you?” Chen Yu asked, lifting an eyebrow.

Patting his schoolbag, Li Liang said triumphantly, “I’ve never looked at mine before.”

“Tch.” A male student sitting behind Chen Yu rolled his eyes and said, “You speak as if anyone here has read a book before.”

“Textbooks?” The female student to Chen Yu’s right raised her hand, “I’ve never read them before, either.”

“Why would you read books in the quiet classroom instead of playing with your phone? Are you sick?”

“Book? What is a book?”

Seeing his surrounding classmates discussing academic issues, Chen Yu nodded with satisfaction as he muttered, “Sixth High truly is the hope of mankind...”

After sorting through his textbooks, Chen Yu leaned against his chair and rested his eyes while listening to the exchanges of his fellow classmates.

The improvement of his physique had granted him even more excellent hearing. Now, he could hear even the conversations held in the class next door clearly.

Meanwhile, as he expected, almost everyone was discussing China’s upcoming Mars landing event.

At this point, this matter had already become the focus of global discussion.

Chen Yu also heard quite a few people discussing Transdimensional Review in hushed tones with his excellent hearing.

Evidently, the government’s information ban had thoroughly lost its effectiveness already.

From now onward, every new livestream he hosted would most likely see a drastic increase in viewership.

“Let’s just take things one step at a time...”

“Hey, Brother Chen.” Shortly afterward, Li Liang, who had nothing better to do, hopped off the balcony and leaned to Chen Yu’s side. “Have you heard? Our form teacher got replaced.”

“Who?”

“I heard it’s a woman. It seems she’s been transferred over from the province.”

“I’m asking who our original form teacher is.”

“...”

“I can’t remember. Who was it?”

“...Our Chinese language teacher. He’s male.”

“Oh! Him.” His eyes still closed, Chen Yu nodded and said, “Good riddance. He brainwashed me with his singing during last year’s exams. Even now, I can still hear the lyrics ‘My motherland and I cannot be separated for a moment,’ in my sleep from time to time.”

After taking a look at his surroundings, Li Liang then leaned into Chen Yu’s ear and started talking about the real topic he wanted to talk about. “Brother Chen, do you know about the matter of our country sending a rocket to Mars?”

“I doubt there’s anybody who doesn’t know of it by this point, right?” Chen Yu opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing across his eyes.

“There’s actually an inside story to this!” Li Liang said in a suppressed voice while winking his eyes mysteriously. “Do you know about Transdimensional Review?”

“I know.” Chen Yu nodded.

“Huh?” Li Liang was stunned.

“I said, I know.”

“H-How did you find out?”

“Xing Biqi told me before.”

“A-According to normal plot development, you shouldn’t know about it! Originally, you should’ve asked me about it, then I will show off for a while before telling you the truth hidden in the world, giving you a shock...”

“Have you been reading too many third-rate webnovels recently? You think the readers can’t tell your blatant attempt to add to the word count?” Chen Yu patted his table.

“...”

“Is there anything else? If not, get lost.”

Seeing Li Liang walking away with his bald head, Chen Yu yawned and pulled out a set of sponge earplugs from his pocket. Just as he had plugged his ears and was about to take a nap, a faint fragrance entered his nose.

“Xing Biqi?”

Chen Yu opened his eyes again. Sure enough, he found the slim and graceful girl standing before him.

“Chen Yu, long time no see,” Xing Biqi said with a happy smile on her face.

“Mhm. Long time no see.” Pointing at the lunch box Xing Biqi carried, Chen Yu asked, “Is that for me?”

“Mhm!” Xing Biqi nodded. She then placed the lunch box on the table, opened it, and revealed a rich breakfast inside. “I made it this morning. Have a taste.”

“You made so many different dishes?”

“Hehe.” The girl smiled as she lightly stretched her hair. “These are puffs, these are fruit skewers, these are shumais, these are vegetable buns, these are fried eggs with tomato sauce...”

“Gulp.”

Before Chen Yu could even make a reaction, Li Liang couldn’t help but gulp as he said, “Aren’t you afraid of getting a stomach ache from eating so many oily foods in the morning?”

“I removed the oil already,” Xing Biqi retorted. The next moment, however, she couldn’t help but be taken aback while exclaiming, “Huh? Someone’s at the balcony?!”

“...”

“Oh, it’s you, Li Liang! Are you still sitting at the balcony?”

“Dammit! Did you just notice me now?!”

“I-I didn’t pay attention,” the girl said, scratching her head. “Li Liang, are you trying to become the balcony’s permanent resident?”

“Jealous, right? You can’t get this seat even with money!” Li Liang immediately grew excited at the mention of his seat.

While the trio was conversing with each other, a woman with a tall waist wearing a teacher’s uniform walked into the classroom. From her angle, she immediately noticed Li Liang upon entering the classroom. “Who turned on the light there?”

Li Liang: “?”

“It’s still early in the morning! Turn it off!” the female teacher shouted.

Li Liang: “...”

Stepping onto the podium, the female teacher placed her leather bag onto the table and said loudly, “Students, I will be your new form teacher from today onwards. There isn’t much time left before your college entrance exam begins, so I hope that during this time, everyone can follow my plan... Why is that light bulb still on?!”

Everyone in the class simultaneously turned around and squinted their eyes as they looked at Li Liang’s bald head.

“T-Teacher.” Raising his hand hesitantly, Li Liang asked, “Are you talking about me?”

“Huh?” Squinting her eyes, the female teacher took out her myopia glasses and looked intently at Li Liang. She then exclaimed, “It’s actually a head?”

Li Liang: “Didn’t expect that, did you?!”

“Ahahaha!”

“Hohoho.”

“Hahaha...”

Laughter instantly filled the classroom.

“Silence!” The female teacher picked up the blackboard eraser and smacked it against the blackboard. “Everyone, quiet! Whoever continues laughing will have to clean the classroom for a month.”

The noise gradually faded away.

Lightly pushing against her glasses, the female teacher said solemnly to Li Liang, “Student, please return to your seat. Class is about to begin.”

“Teacher, this is my seat.”

Hearing this, the female teacher’s expression changed subtly. She then took out a ruler from her bag and walked up slowly to the balcony. After scrutinizing Li Liang’s figure, she asked, “You, what’s your name?”

“L-Li Liang...” Feeling a bad premonition, Li Liang started shrinking back his body.

“Student Li Liang, please stretch out your palms.”

“Tea—”

“Stretch it out.”

“I...”

“Are you going to stretch them out or not?” The teacher raised the ruler she held.

Li Liang tentatively stretched out his hands, and the ruler instantly descended toward his palms. However, the ruler didn’t actually land on his palms. Instead, it merely hovered above them.

“Student Li Liang, repeat what you just said.”

“M-My seat is here.”

Seeing that Li Liang dared to repeat the same words, a fierce look appeared on the female teacher’s face, and she ruthlessly smacked her ruler onto Li Liang’s palms.

Smack!

“Ah~”

Grabbing Li Liang’s palms, the female teacher once more hovered her ruler above them and asked, “Where is your seat.”

“I-It’s here.”

Smack!

“Ah~”

“Where?”

“Teacher! Listen to me—ah!”

“Where?”

“It’s like this; I—ah!”

“Where?” The female teacher grew increasingly angered by Li Liang’s response. “Where is your seat?”

“Grandma!” Close to tears, Li Liang said, “My seat really is here—ah!”

“T-Teacher.” Unable to stand watching this scene any longer, Xing Biqi said weakly, “Li Liang’s seat really is on the balcony. He doesn’t have a table in class.”

“Oh?” The female teacher was stunned by Xing Biqi’s words. “Is that so?”

“Mhm. My seat was originally his, but there were no extra seats left after I joined this class. So, the previous form teacher had him sit at the balcony.”

“I see.” Silently retrieving her ruler, the female teacher walked back to the podium, behaving as if nothing had just happened.

Enraged, Li Liang raised his palms and questioned, “So I got hit for nothing?”

Her footsteps pausing, the female teacher turned around, and expressionlessly raised her ruler. “Stretch out your hands.”

“No.”

“If you don’t do it, you don’t need to come to school tomorrow.”

“I don’t need to come to school?” Upon hearing the teacher’s words, the grievances Li Liang felt disappeared instantly. He then asked in surprise, “Really?”

“You can try.”

“That’s great!”

The female teacher: “?”

“Teacher, you must stick to your words!” Hurriedly pulling out his phone and clicking the voice recording function, Li Liang asked, “Please repeat what you just said.”

“Did you not understand what I just said?” The female teacher sternly said, “If you don’t stretch out your hands, you can go home immediately!”

“I understood it, but you need to give me a certification to prove that you’ve given me a holiday.”

The female teacher: “?”

“Teacher.” One of the male students seated at the back of the classroom raised his hand and asked, “Can you include one for me as well?”

The female teacher: “???”

“I want one as well!”

“Me too.”

“It’ll be even better if you don’t give us any homework.”

Faced with this temptation, Chen Yu also couldn’t help but raise his hand and said, “Give me one too.”

The female teacher was instantly stunned.

After standing in place for a long time, the teacher looked around in disbelief before asking, “Are you all sick?”

“Can we only take a vacation if we’re sick?”

“My head has been hurting these past few days. Can I skip school tomorrow, teacher?”

“Cough! Cough, cough, cough...”

The female teacher who had been newly transferred to the school evidently didn’t understand how Sixth High’s students operated. Thinking that her students were still messing with her, her face stiffened, and she sent her ruler smacking onto Li Liang’s thigh.

Smack!

“Ah~”

“Who wants a vacation?!” the female teacher bellowed. “Whoever wants one can leave immediately! I’ll give them a half-year vacation! Leave if you dare!”

Realizing that their form teacher was truly angered now, the students kicking up a fuss immediately fell silent.

However, Class 2 had a really stubborn person...

Whoosh.

The next moment, Chen Yu stood up abruptly, picked up his backpack, and ran. Under the female teacher’s dumbfounded gaze, he disappeared from the classroom like a gust of wind.

“What a wonderful opportunity!”

His body trembling in excitement, Chen Yu ran faster and faster. In less than three minutes, he had already dashed out of the teaching block, climbed over the school fence, and disappeared into the bustling street outside...

“W-Who ran out just now?”

Inside Class 2-2’s classroom, after snapping out of her daze, the female teacher hurriedly ran up to the balcony and looked at the school gate.

“He’s called Chen Yu.” Zhen Congming, who was seated at the front of the class, ratted out Chen Yu immediately.

“He...” Xing Biqi tried to say something to help defend Chen Yu with a worried look on her face. However, for fear of making things worse, she eventually decided to remain quiet.

“Chen Yu...” the female teacher quietly muttered these two words with an ashen expression. She then returned to the podium, smacked her ruler against the table, and raved, “I refuse to believe a high school student will dare play truant! We’ll wait! The whole class will wait! We won’t start class if he doesn’t come back!”

Afterward...

Half a month went by.

The snow melted, and the spring flowers bloomed.

After the sun and the moon alternated positions for more than a dozen times, the second Sunday of March arrived.

Once more, dozens of millions of people worldwide had their attention focused on Transdimensional Review’s livestream rooms.

A few bold private forums had even pinned threads titled “Transdimensional Review” on their front page.

The information ban on Transdimensional Review was gradually loosening...
