Chapter 377 Four Hundred Points, Are You Here Begging for Food in Our Class?

Jiang Nian twisted her hair while writing a problem.

“Why are you alone today?”

“She…” Chen Yunyun hesitated. “She tried to sneak out to buy fruit from the west gate again, but the school gate closed.”

“Huh?” Jiang Nian was momentarily confused and couldn’t help but ask, “Didn’t Wang Yuhe say she was, like, a time thief?”

Chen Yunyun covered her face. “She didn’t succeed this time; the security guard caught her.”

Hearing this, Jiang Nian started to laugh.

“That stupid?”

Being locked outside wasn’t a big deal; the back gate would open in an hour. She could sit in a milk tea shop or browse a bookstore.

She could even take a quick nap.

Chen Yunyun originally just wanted to chat with him. Who knew that without realizing it, her hand would be squeezed all over.

But it was just squeezing her hand; he didn’t do anything else.

Jiang Nian’s mind was mostly on the test paper; he even pulled her in to consult when he encountered problems he didn’t know, he was too diligent.

Under the influence of this atmosphere, Chen Yunyun also became nervous.

“Why are you so serious lately?”

Jiang Nian picked up her hair scattered on the table with his left hand, unconsciously twirling it while writing the problem.

He said casually.

“To surpass you.”

“Why me?” Chen Yunyun glanced at him, pursing her lips. “There are others whose scores are also quite high.”

“Surpass them all,” Jiang Nian said without looking up.

Scoring over 650 might place him in the top five of the class. If the test paper was relatively easy, his ranking might even improve.

Chen Yunyun didn’t take Jiang Nian’s words seriously, but it reaffirmed her determination to ‘inner roll’ (compete fiercely) and not be surpassed by Jiang Nian.

Even if it was just by a few points.

After lunch break.

Wang Yuhe, in high spirits, entered the school from outside the west gate, following the flow of people.

It was a miscalculation.

During the hour she was locked out of school, she first wandered aimlessly for a few minutes, not knowing what to do. Then she went into a stationery store, and then came out again.

She was dazed, with nothing she wanted to buy.

She later went to a bookstore, browsed around, and bought a copy of Youth Digest. She felt awkward staying too long, so she paid and left until her phone buzzed.

Jiang Nian sent her a 30-yuan red packet, asking her to bring a catty of oranges. Only then did she find something to do, and then she sent him a picture.

“Bought it, what now?”

“Fruit tea 【0/1】, Charlie’s small standee 【0/1】. Please arrive at Charlie’s Milk Tea shop before 13:25 to complete the designated task.”

“Complete the task to receive 2 fragments. Collect enough fragments to redeem one month of QQ SVIP.”

Upon seeing these two messages, Wang Yuhe immediately felt energized. She rushed to the milk tea shop with the oranges.

She ordered a fruit tea and asked the staff for the complimentary small standee.

Then she sent it to Jiang Nian, and her QQ changed color.

She took a nap at the milk tea shop and also brought a fruit tea for Chen Yunyun. She excitedly entered the classroom and gave the oranges to Jiang Nian.

“Aren’t I amazing?”

“Amazing, amazing, you can go now.” Jiang Nian hung the oranges on his chair, waved his hand, and perfunctorily said, “I need to pee.”

Wang Yuhe was furious but couldn’t do anything about him.

She had no choice but to take the fruit tea to Chen Yunyun and excitedly share her wonderful adventure of an hour outside school with her.

In the corridor, Jiang Nian washed his hands and stood by the railing, letting the wind blow on him.

He was a little drowsy, his eyes half-closed.

Studying in the third year of high school made his head feel like it was about to explode; fatigue always followed excessive exertion. And healing was reserved for the afternoon.

Save love for comprehensive science.

The long-unseen System panel popped up unexpectedly.

At thirty-eight, you diagnosed Song Xiyun’s illness. You decided to offer help, and her condition quickly came under control.

As a price, your savings sharply decreased…

Jiang Nian took out his phone and glanced at the balance in his card, which was slowly increasing each day. He was amused by this idiotic System.

“Not a single cent spent.”

The lottery skill was quite practical, refreshing every five days. It couldn’t make him rich overnight, but a small monthly income was possible.

In the bustling corridor after lunch break, people came and went.

He continued to read while letting the wind blow on him.

Over six months, you completed your weight loss and reading goals, and your physique and temperament underwent drastic changes.

After resuming daily contact with the three women, your decadent life became increasingly fulfilling. The only drawback was the still meager balance in your bank account.

You politely declined Xu Qianqian’s key, wanting to start from scratch and build your own career.

Task: Complete any transaction, earning one hundred yuan in profit. Reward: Hundredfold return, ten thousand RMB.

Jiang Nian glanced at it and casually closed the System.

What did that mean?

What did ‘politely declined the key’ mean? Was he still living off women even though he was almost forty?

No, he wasn’t living off women now.

But then again, at thirty-eight, if he couldn’t pass the civil service exam, and couldn’t handle the grind of work, then living off women wouldn’t be bad.

Jiang Nian chuckled for a while, then came back to his senses.

There was no need to dwell on System tasks; the System and reality diverged too much. He would just do tasks if they were profitable.

For simple transactions, power leveling was a good choice.

Students only had a few ways to earn money: power leveling or selling accounts. It was all related to games.

Good question.

Your account is good, give it to me.

I’m a student.

Didn’t that open up a new path?

The begging style.

However, after pondering for a while, Jiang Nian had a new idea.

Why shouldn’t a man sell his charm?

Would Baby Zhizhi be willing to spend a hundred yuan to buy his private services?

The more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. With the college entrance exam coming up, who had so much time to build a career? Better to go into the’sea’ (prostitution), it would be much faster money.

Foot massage services, the so-called ‘foot Dao’ is also a Dao.

How was that not a career?

Jiang Nian chose “Serving people with beauty” over “From zero to power leveling king” and “Ancestral Master of begging style.”

Directly cutting out twenty years of detours.

Understand? Applause!

After clarifying his thoughts, he walked back to the classroom with a smile.

Actually, the System was right; men indeed had to be outstanding. Among other things, Zhizhi’s parents clearly had high standards.

But there was no rush; with the System’s foresight, he couldn’t make mistakes at every step.

For example, class promotion and the college entrance exam, sometimes it’s about making steady progress. Once he got the ticket, everything else would fall into place naturally.

Just before entering the classroom, someone tapped him from behind.

“Jiang Nian.”

“Hmm?” He turned around and saw a familiar face, couldn’t help but laugh, “Why are you here? Where’s your husband?”

Hearing this, Ji Jiayu felt speechless.

What a repulsive man?

But then she remembered that Jiang Nian had always been like this, it was like he hadn’t forgotten his original intention. So she didn’t mind, she was pretty much completely desensitized.

“There’s a psychology class tonight, are you still going?”

Hearing this, Jiang Nian remembered the last time Yu Zhiyi pushed him out to be that “psychologically abnormal classmate” who attended the school’s psychology lecture.

A month had passed in a flash, and it was probably time for another one.

“Not necessarily, I have an awards ceremony tonight,” Jiang Nian said. “How did you know I improved by two hundred points?”

Ji Jiayu immediately broke out in a sweat like a small yellow bean, letting out a “Ha.”

“Bro, that’s enough.”

Facing the other party’s suggestion to tone down his obnoxious attitude, Jiang Nian didn’t take it seriously. If he hid his light under a bushel, wouldn’t his good grades be in vain?

“It’s fine, actually, I was just mentioning it. I don’t really care about awards or anything, but I probably won’t have time to go.”

“Oh, alright then,” Ji Jiayu nodded.

Although Jiang Nian spoke as if his mouth was poisoned, she didn’t dislike him.

On the contrary, she quite enjoyed interacting with Jiang Nian.

“Then I’m going. If you go next time, you can call me,” Ji Jiayu said naturally, with her hands behind her back.

Jiang Nian nodded, deep in thought.

“What about your husband?”

“Then I can’t help it, I’ll just have to do it behind his back,” Ji Jiayu chuckled, joking along. “Remember to call me next time, okay?”

After speaking, she turned and entered the Class Two classroom.

Jiang Nian couldn’t help but admire her; this woman was no pushover either. Her ex-boyfriend had already found a new love, yet she could still make fun of him.

In terms of mental fortitude, she was also like this (thumbs up).

Back in the classroom.

Jiang Nian was just about to sit down and properly ‘perv’ on Zhizhi. He planned to find an opportunity to ‘extract some gold coins’ from the rich loli.

One hundred yuan… was pocket change for Zhizhi.

He just needed to find a suitable reason.

“What were you doing outside, kid?” Li Hua looked at Jiang Nian with wide and narrow eyes. “Why do you look like you were chatting with a married woman?”

Married woman, my foot.

“Not chatting, just asked something about you,” Jiang Nian said, using a classic rhetorical device of suppressing first then raising.

As expected, his overly calm tone unexpectedly piqued Li Hua’s curiosity, who scratched his ears and cheeks before asking.

“What is it?”

“Your score is eight points lower than mine.”

“You mother!” Li Hua exploded in anger, covering his face and letting out a sharp shriek. “red stone, you keep bringing up eight points over and over!”

Jiang Nian pointed at him, “One-three-five-three.”

Li Hua’s eyes widened, staring directly at Jiang Nian. His mouth was open but no sound came out, as if someone had choked him.

I didn’t even try hard.

After muttering for a long time, that’s what came out.

Jiang Nian immediately burst into laughter, the corners of his mouth gradually twisting into a hook, and he shook his head, asking him with a half-smile.

“Hua, if you had tried hard, would you have gotten the same score as your father?”

Li Hua immediately clutched his head, his face full of pain.

I was so foolish.

“Don’t bully the group leader anymore,” Zhang Ningzhi said, unable to watch any longer. “The group leader is almost driven crazy by you.”

“Then I’ll bully you,” Jiang Nian pinched her leg.

“Oh, you!” Zhang Ningzhi immediately puffed out her cheeks, the flame of justice instantly extinguished. “Then you… still bully the group leader.”

As expected of the Sixth Group, they all possessed flexible moral bottom lines.

But unfortunately, class started.

As soon as Old Liu walked into the classroom, his first glance fell on Jiang Nian. He suddenly remembered the scene in the office and felt like laughing.

The corners of his mouth just turned up, then he realized this was a classroom.

Then, the people in the classroom saw Old Liu smile inexplicably, then instantly straighten his face and stare at the back row of the classroom.

The class was caught off guard by Old Liu’s smooth combo, a bit confused.

“He must have been promoted,” Yang Qiming whispered to Zhou Yuting. “Maybe he’s in charge of some miscellaneous tasks again.”

Zhou Yuting: “It’s a bit… for you to talk about the homeroom teacher like that.”

“The leaders probably drew another big pie for Old Liu, he seems quite pitiful,” Lin Dong sharply commented, adjusting his non-existent glasses.

“This is the first time I’ve seen a real corporate slave, it’s a bit sad,” Sun Zhicheng shook his head in agreement. “How can we become talented following a teacher like this?”

Chen Yunyun:

ff

Front row.

Li Hua watched for a while, then suddenly chuckled.

“Yi, Old Liu has gone mad.”

Jiang Nian said nothing, suddenly lowered his head and started doing problems. He was even doing Chinese language problems, the sun must have risen from the west.

Li Hua leaned over to take a look, and couldn’t help but look shocked. After thinking for a while with a ‘lesbian’ gesture, he made a judgment.

“Jiang Nian, that big idiot, has gone mad too.”

However, a certain someone remained silent, just burying his head in the problems.

He was staring intently at a difficult classical Chinese text, circling and drawing with his pen, but not actually writing answers.

Zhang Ningzhi looked at him strangely, her face full of confusion.

“What’s wrong with you?”

Jiang Nian didn’t speak, just turned his head to glance at her.

“Doing problems.”

“Then why are you doing Chinese?” She was a little worried, blinking her eyes. “Are you Jiang Nian’s imposter?”

Zhizhi, don’t love too much, being so gentle to an imposter, right?

What kind of stand-in literature is this?

“Then touch me, and verify my authenticity,” Jiang Nian said with a calm expression, uttering extremely off-putting words.

Zhang Ningzhi: “…You’re real.”

The game of verifying authenticity ended.

On the podium.

Old Liu cleared his throat and suddenly began to summarize the results of the last joint exam.

This action left the students below quite confused.

Because, when all the results came out on Tuesday, Old Liu had already spent an entire evening self-study session summarizing the results in class.

He even made everyone in the class write a summary and hand it in for him to read one by one.

In reality, he only read the summaries of the top ten.

It could only be said that this person was not just a little ‘dog’ (sly); he was extremely ‘dog,’ having completely evolved into a form that solely valued scores.

“Did he Transmigrate?” Zeng You couldn’t help but look up. “Isn’t today Friday? This scene feels familiar.”

“He’s probably senile,” Li Hua muttered conspiratorially.

However, Old Liu on the podium only summarized for a short while. Suddenly, he changed the subject and quickly got to the main point.

“In this exam, our classmate Jiang Nian… from four hundred points in the final exam of his original class, to six hundred and sixteen points in the last joint exam.”

“He improved by a full two hundred points and also won the top spot in the ‘Third Year of High School Inspirational Star’ selection event. Let’s give him a round of applause!”

Because a certain someone’s score when he and Zhizhi were promoted to this class was a quite impressive 573 points, landing him in the middle tier upon arrival.

This led the class to subconsciously believe that Jiang Nian’s past scores were probably, at most, around five hundred points.

A large part of this was due to a certain someone keeping his past dark history under wraps.

Until today, Old Liu opened his mouth and immediately said four hundred points.

The dramatic effect instantly reached its peak; almost the entire class gasped, turning their heads to look at Jiang Nian.

“Holy crap, four hundred points? Is that a human score?”

“Damn it, did he cheat in the exam?”

“Such a low score, is a vocational college student reversing his fate to beg for food in our class?”

Jiang Nian heard not envy or admiration from his surroundings, but rather, quite the opposite, even some harsh remarks.

Still pretending to write problems and ready to show off at any moment, his face suddenly couldn’t hold up, and the pen in his hand trembled slightly.

Damn, Class Three is a bunch of jerks.

Are they even human?

Only Zhang Ningzhi looked at Jiang Nian with starry eyes.

“You’re so inspiring!”

See, that’s a normal person’s reaction.
