Ren He had connected two tasks within a minute. If he could say nothing about the first task’s timing, the second one was downright painful. Just quoting Chairman Mao and then getting another task?
Where could he even argue this? Ren He seriously suspected that the Divine Punishment System was doing this on purpose to mess with him! He had quoted famous sayings before but had never got a task for it, and now out of the blue, he got one, he knew all along that this was a disreputable system!
Elder Zhou, having heard what Ren He said, replied with a laugh, “You’ve become so enlightened after just a few days of not seeing you?”
“It’s all thanks to your influence, Elder Zhou. Ever since our last meeting, I have decided to make a clean break with my past. By the way, how much are the royalties this time?” Ren He asked curiously.
“410,000,” Elder Zhou replied, with a hint of laughter in his voice, “If you hadn’t asked about the money, I might have really thought you weren’t yourself anymore. The Three Character Classic is receiving a very positive response in the realm of enlightenment education, and this is still just the first installment of royalties—there will be more to come.”
Sheesh, Ren He had truly underestimated the importance of good copyright protection. Just the initial royalties from the Three Character Classic had brought him 410,000 in income. If he were an ordinary person, that would be enough for him to live on for a lifetime.
But thinking about it, that makes sense. With so many children in China, if every parent bought a copy, the numbers wouldn’t be small at all.
Not having pirated copies really is great!
Now he had 580,000 in his hands, which wasn’t a small amount at all. In Luo City of the year 2005, he could buy a small villa, especially considering that real estate prices at that time were much cheaper compared to the following years.
But he wouldn’t hoard real estate. Given the many ways to make money, why not choose something he enjoyed? Besides, after a certain amount, money was just a number. He had many more things he wanted to do, and a few properties would suffice. If he had to do it all over again and got into real estate, he felt that too would be quite uninteresting.
So what should he do with that 580,000? Maybe buy a car for getting around. Honestly, it was quite inconvenient not having a car now. But the thought that he didn’t even have a driver’s license and thinking about buying a car—now that was a real headache. Should he give Uncle Huang a call and sort out a license? Bear in mind, the regulations on driver’s licenses were not so strict at that time.
He’d take a look and see.
…
In the last couple of days, Xie Miaohan, Ren He’s homeroom teacher, had been experiencing troubling palpitations and hadn’t slept well. His mind kept circling around the issue of Ren He, who couldn’t be beaten or scolded. What in the world should he do?
Just last night, he went drinking with Director Liu. Liu was in the same boat as himself, almost turning gray from worry over this problematic student. After drinking too much, Director Liu repeatedly stressed, “Don’t let him be in any danger again, you must do a good job with his ideological work!”
Xie Miaohan felt bitter inside. I want to, I really do!
He arrived at school early in the morning, first wiped down his own desk, and found he wasn’t in the mood to prepare for class. He slowly paced to the door of his classroom and stared blankly at the spot where two teaching buildings connected.
So high up, such a wide gap – how could Ren He dares to jump across it? He certainly wouldn’t dare; who would casually gamble with their own life?
You come from such a well-off family, you would have such a bright future after studying hard—why play with your life?
Just then, Xie Miaohan suddenly heard heavy breathing inside the classroom. Startled, he realized it was still half an hour before class normally began—students usually didn’t arrive so early. Who could it be?
He pushed open the door of the classroom, and there was Ren He, the very person on his mind. Ren He was performing squats while hoisting a wooden desk on his shoulders, puffing and panting. Xie Miaohan was flabbergasted: “Ren He, what are you doing?”
Seeing Mr. Xie, Ren He let out a chuckle: “Teacher, I’m exercising!”
Exercising… The mere words made Xie Miaohan feel exasperated.
“You… first put the desk down…”
“Just a sec, 12 more to go!” Ren He calmly said.
It had to be said, the desk was quite heavy, and doing squats with such a heavy desk for a dozen times was manageable, but after many, it got a bit tiring. However, Ren He knew that he could certainly complete the target of 50.
Xie Miaohan watched Ren He do the squats while sitting and suddenly thought that actually, this wasn’t bad. Anyway, there was no great danger, and it was definitely better than climbing buildings!
With that thought, he said, “Hmm, it’s better to do indoor exercises in the future, don’t go climbing buildings again. How dangerous that is!”
“Hmm, no more climbing buildings, that was just foolishness!” Ren He had just finished his squats and as he put the desk on the ground, he immediately agreed.
Xie Miaohan felt like the heavens had opened their eyes, allowing his ideological education efforts to take effect! He nodded in satisfaction, “You can see from your body, it’s toughened up a lot. It seems that exercise is effective.”
Ren He’s physique was now definitely unremarkable with clothes on, but once he took them off, he was all edges and angles, filled with an explosive sense.
However, Xie Miaohan was happy too soon…
“Host has completed the task of carrying out 50 desk squats. Reward: Tear Potion, usable 3 times.”
Huh, another potion type, interesting. I wonder what effect Tear Potion has? Ren He was itching to try it on someone, but he obviously couldn’t test it on Xie Miaohan. He’d wait for a suitable opportunity.
…
In the morning, Xie Miaohan finished his classes and took the initiative to go to the Academic Affairs Office. After meeting Director Liu, he laughed heartily, “Liu, guess what? That kid Ren He has learned his lesson from my teaching and stopped doing those dangerous stunts. He’s started doing indoor exercises!”
Director Liu was pleasantly surprised, “Really?”

“Absolutely,” said Xie Miaohan with pride, “This morning when I went to the class, the kid was practicing squats. I figured as long as he doesn’t risk his life, he can squat however he wants.” Although he said this, Xie Miaohan did not mention that Ren He was doing squats with the desk on his back… He thought about it later and found it strange. The desk was so heavy that even 10 squats with it would be unbearable for him.
Director Liu, elated, muttered to himself, “Right, right, squat however he wants, just don’t let us lose our jobs!”
“This worried heart of mine can finally rest easy!” Xie Miaohan lit a cigarette in the Academic Affairs Office and casually offered one to Director Liu as well.
However, just at that moment, a young intern teacher burst into the Academic Affairs Office shouting, “Director Liu, Director Liu, there’s trouble!”
A cloud of unease floated in Director Liu’s heart as he sprang to his feet, “What’s the matter?!”
The young intern teacher was gasping a little from running too fast, “Xie… Mr. Xie is also here. That Ren He from your class – he’s trying to jump from the building again!”
Damn it, Xie Miaohan’s face was struck by lightning all of a sudden… Where’s that bit of trust between people?
Last time he said he wouldn’t jump, but then you climbed the building. This time you say you won’t climb, and now you’re going to jump again. When will this end, are you doing it on purpose?!
It wasn’t just a moment of confusion, you’re confused every single day!
