Chapter 46: 46, Take a Risk Out of Desperation_1
Ren He returned to the class and began to ponder. He had been doing well in junior high and was just half a year away from graduation when this big mess cropped up.
Class monitors in other people’s time-travel stories were all great beauties, and one could even snicker, but the first class monitor he got after traveling here was a middle-aged man, and the second was an old man who liked to physically punish students.
It’s true that ignorance is bliss, and Ren He was extremely dissatisfied with this…
During the first class in the afternoon, Li Luobo entered the classroom with his teaching materials tucked under his arm, “Hello, students, I’m your new class monitor, Li Luobo, and from now on, you all will be studying under my supervision. I’ve been teaching for over forty years and have been a class monitor for more than thirty. I understand very well what you are all thinking right now. I have three rules for my class, which I’ll explain to you in a moment. If you break them, don’t say I didn’t warn you. I’ve already retired, but Director Liu strongly invited me back, and I’m happy to continue contributing to this school. After all, I’ve been here since its founding; I’m probably even more familiar with it than the principal is…”
As he spoke, Li Luobo suddenly was overcome with an unstoppable bout of sadness…
He burst into tears…
“Mr. Li is deeply attached to this school!” Ren He immediately led the applause, but inside he felt a pang of regret as his last chance to use the Tear Potion went down the drain. He had intended to lay low and avoid conflicts as much as possible, but when he heard the claim that one knew the school better than the principal, Ren He couldn’t help but be provoked by the show-offy vibe…
After returning to class, Ren He did some digging and found out that this guy had not only humiliated female students into transferring schools, but he seemed to have a bad habit of harassing them, too. He wondered how such a teacher managed to retire safely—it must be an underdeveloped system…
Li Luobo’s crying episode lasted for more than twenty minutes, during which he tried to use his strong will to stop the tears, only to fail…
The power of the Tear Potion was not something mere mortals could understand…
In the end, he simply announced that class was dismissed and wasn’t seen again for the rest of the afternoon.

When class ended, everyone instinctively turned to look at Liu Yinghai…
Liu Yinghai was baffled. Why are you looking at me? Just because I cried a couple of times, doesn’t mean his crying has anything to do with me!
At that moment, Liu Yinghai probably realized that the two times he cried during junior high might become a lifelong joke among his classmates…
However, the classmates didn’t know about the conversation between Li Luobo and Ren He, or else the more astute ones might have noticed that those who clashed with Ren He had all cried…
So everyone interpreted the situation as… bad classroom feng shui!
Yes, it must be poor feng shui. Some of the girls were actually scared, thinking that this meant there was something dirty in the classroom.
But Ren He also realized this issue. He had used the Tear Potion three times in the class, and using it too much might arouse suspicion. Just as well, the Tear Potion was used up; he would need to be more careful in the future.
He didn’t go to Yang Xi’s house that evening because the recent three tasks were just too big, so he decided to take a break from songwriting and focus on finishing the tasks first.
Unexpectedly, Yang Xi handed him a stack of materials and a USB drive in the morning. These were extreme sports resources she had asked a friend abroad for. She was a bit shy when offering them to Ren He, “You like this stuff, and my friend happens to be a sports enthusiast, so she mailed some information back. It might help you.”
Ren He looked at Yang Xi with a big grin. Not bad, girl, taking the initiative to think about my stuff. But he didn’t need any materials to be reckless because the Divine Punishment System would provide him with the most scientifically accurate information before issuing any task.
Of course, he wouldn’t say that; he smiled and said, “Thank you, for this material I really should treat you to a meal.”
“Shameless.”
…
When it came to the essentials of climbing buildings with bare hands, Ren He had almost perfected his technique, including how to find footholds on the wall and how to quickly leverage them. He had to admit, the knowledge infusion from the Divine Punishment System was really effective. Without the Divine Punishment System, he didn’t know how long it would have taken him to figure it out by himself, let alone complete the task.
He looked at himself in the mirror. His body, which had been a bit slender, had now become muscular. The six-pack on his abdomen was well-defined, something he had never dared to dream of having in his previous life…
A six-pack is difficult to attain, especially near the lower abdomen, and it’s also related to the genes inherited in one’s tendons. In layman’s terms: if you have six packs above the navel, then it’s possible to develop two more below it. So for now, it looked like he only had six, but he firmly believed that he would eventually have eight.
When the clock struck midnight, Ren He tied a bag of magnesium powder to his waist and headed downstairs—it was just after the security guards had finished their patrols, and the residents of the community were mostly in bed asleep.
In the deep autumn season, Ren He wore only a short-sleeved T-shirt. His task this time was to race against time, so he needed to utilize his skill memories from the Divine Punishment System to work through the climbing route thoroughly!
The climbing route is especially important during the ascent. If it’s on a rock face, it’s even more crucial. Otherwise, what would you do if you climbed halfway up and found no point to leverage?
Therefore, some free solo climbers actually need to observe the rock face in advance. If there’s a particularly good route, and there’s a section in the middle without any handholds, climbers might need to be lowered from the summit to create a few handholds at those blank spots, such as enlarging a crack that’s too small even for fingertips, making it just wide enough for a finger to fit.
Many people think that free solo climbing means foregoing any preparation, but that’s just how they show it in movies…
Even the world’s number one free solo climber in his past life had to do very meticulous preparatory work before climbing.
Ren He looked up and carefully observed the wall, while roughly calculating the time he would need to climb each floor in his mind. He eventually realized that if he followed the conventional methods, he definitely wouldn’t be able to meet the 5-minute requirement!
The Divine Punishment System was pushing him into taking risks—this was a real life-or-death mission!
If conventional methods wouldn’t work, then he’d have to abandon them. In Ren He’s mind there was another route, one that would involve leaping up the wall as if he were jumping, disregarding footholds entirely and jumping straight from the lower security bars in order to grab onto the ones above.
It was the principle of the shortest distance between two points being a straight line. He wouldn’t have to intricately search for handholds on the wall anymore; he could just jump up!
This was interesting. Ren He’s palms started to sweat. His own daring imagination had startled him. But extreme sports were all about letting your imagination run wild. He coated his hands with magnesium powder and made sure the friction was just right.
Ren He decided to give it a try!
However, what he didn’t know was that Duan Xiaolou had been observing him from a distance for quite some time!
