The Most Random System-Chapter 801 - 393: The Classroom Is for Eating and Sleeping, Who Said You Could Study?_2
Until Xue Jian finished speaking, the system showed no response.
Ah, I shouldn’t have aimed for first place in the grade.
I really should have held back a little last time.
Lin Li felt a bit regretful. He always thought that if he’d gotten second or third place last time, leaving some room for improvement, the system might have issued a task like topping all subjects.
Such tasks come with abundant rewards, and completing them wouldn’t be difficult with his current ability.
"I’ve decided." Lin Li touched his chin and said softly.
"Decided what?" Bai Bufan looked over.
"I’m going to deliberately score badly in this monthly exam." Lin Li said to Bai Bufan with certainty.
Lin Li was sincere in his words.
After all, the ranking in the monthly exam wasn’t important, but if it could trigger a task during the final exam, it would be a huge gain.
Lin Li felt his logic was reasonable, and the system should agree: He was drained of academic strength by a teacher in the movie, causing a decline in performance and ridicule from the sect, leading him to declare in anger that youth shouldn’t be underestimated, and he would prove himself in the final exam.
Such classic Cultivation Realm plots, wouldn’t the system issue a task to spice things up?
"Why?" Bai Bufan, unaware of all this, naturally asked out of curiosity.
"Because I want to play dumb to fool the tiger, pretending weakness to the enemy..." Lin Li smiled wickedly:
"My brother’s experience tells me that at the peak, you receive false support, but at dusk, you witness true followers. I can also use this opportunity to see who my fake friends are who only approach me because of my grades."
"This way I can strike the enemy hard and screen for teammates, why not?"
Bai Bufan: "..."
Considering the situation in Class 4, no one would approach or distance themselves from anyone because of grades, having a chicken would be more appealing.
But then Bai Bufan suddenly started laughing.
"Why are you laughing?" Lin Li asked.
"I remembered my experience of pretending to be Bao Wei to fool the tiger." Bai Bufan bowed his head, lightly tapped his forehead with the back of his hand, and recounted with a smile:
"Once after an exam, I deliberately estimated my score low, telling people sadly that I did poorly, wanting to act like a study diva, to amaze everyone when the actual scores came out.
Turns out, my actual score was even lower."
"That’s not playing dumb to fool the tiger, buddy," Lin Li shook his head, disdainful: "That’s pretending to be dumb to eat private feed."
Bai Bufan raised his middle finger: "Damn!"
Zhou Baowei perked up: "Feed? Where is the feed?"
...
Afternoon.
The afternoon sun shone brightly through the windows, golden and radiant.
The bulletin board and wall art projects had concluded, and the noisy afternoon had settled down, leaving only the midday trio.
Wang Yuezhi wore a sour expression, still trying to eavesdrop on the murmuring couple in the back left.
"What are you writing there?" Chen Yu Ying holding books and workbooks, walked lightly and sat in Bai Bufan’s empty seat.
She turned slightly, her curious gaze falling on Lin Li’s hand, writing vigorously on a white sheet of paper.
"A speech. Next Monday, I might have to go up and speak." Lin Li replied, looking up.
"Hmm?" Chen Yu Ying leaned forward slightly, curious to peek at the content on Lin Li’s paper.
「...」 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
「I heard someone say: Mr. Lin Li, I need a job, a piece of bread! Yes, you’re right, life is incredibly important! But I must tell you, there’s something more important than life in this world! That’s tuition fees!」
「Nansang compatriots! Do you know how much a loaf of bread costs at school now? Fifty million marks! A full fifty million marks!」
「And our principal, he sees the Forbes charity list as a poverty alleviation effort, thinks ’An Ode to the Chen Hall’ is a homely inscription, goes to Wall Street thinking it’s a slum, when a hacker steals a billion dollars he believes it’s an automatic deduction he forgot to cancel, thinks Mbappe’s value is the same as 200 years ago, when a corner of his pocket leaks, Cixi picks it up to pay off foreign debt, while walking suddenly drops ’Heart of Africa’ from his pocket...」
「He spends our tuition money lavishly! Yet forces us to study!」
「When a loaf of bread sells for fifty million marks, our gun bolts must be pulled faster than anyone else!」
「...」
Chen Yu Ying: "?"
Hold on!
The speech venue is the school playground, not the Munich beer hall!
"The principal... doesn’t seem to be that bad, right..."
Chen Yu Ying timidly opened her mouth, trying to speak well for the Mediterranean King - Principal, who was quite amicable and had a good relationship with the students.
"I know, but research shows that speeches with strong motivation often need a clear enemy, so I’d wrong the principal a bit." Lin Li nodded, then confidently closed his eyes, visualizing the scene:
"I have a feeling, that I will be met with thunderous applause, even after I leave the stage, the echo will linger for three days."
Chen Yu Ying blinked: "With this speech, probably halfway through the first sentence, you’d be escorted off the stage by Teacher Xue or the principal himself."
"It doesn’t matter, even if I don’t say a single word, I’d still receive prolonged applause." Lin Li opened his eyes, his smile still confident.
"Why, are you going to show the speech to everyone in advance?" Chen Yu Ying asked curiously.
"No, because I’ve ordered a hundred thousand cold-resistant mosquitoes, and on the day of the speech, I’ll release them all into the playground, letting them swarm out." Lin Li answered.
Chen Yu Ying: "...Hey?"
If that’s the case...
It does seem like everyone’s reaction would be very enthusiastic, with continuous applause...
Unable to hold it in, Yu Ying broke into a giggle, her shoulders moving gently, like a flower branch swayed by spring breeze, so delightful!
After laughing, she curiously asked: "So what happened this morning, that they dare entrust an event like speech to you?"
