Without even looking up, Lin Li knew that when Xue Jian said this, he was staring at Bai Bufan and maybe casting a glance at himself.

Bai Bufan is really mischievous.

Seeing Lin Li playing dead, Xue Jian paused for a moment and continued the introduction:

"The school will give each class a budget of 100 yuan. Of course, this is mostly far from enough, but don't complain. Just consider this 100 yuan as a subsidy from the school. Mainly, it still depends on the class fund, but if you can get some sponsorship, it shows your ability."

"All profits and losses are borne by yourselves. The money for buying materials, renting equipment, and purchasing goods all come from this. The money earned at the end will also entirely fund the class, and it can also be used as a salary—someone in the class will definitely have to take charge, but I don't suggest fixing anyone to stay in the classroom all the time. It's better for everyone to take turns 'working.'"

"But don't participate in this activity with too much of a profit motive because of the self-borne profit and loss. The essence of school activities is still for you to have fun. There's no ranking. It's just to enrich campus life."

"I won't say much. Like before, your activities are up to you. If there's no difficulty that requires me to solve, I won't interfere proactively. Once the project is finalized, just let me take a look."

"Now, let's talk about the timing of these two activities."

"Because this year's New Year's Day is on Wednesday and there's no arranged day off, these activities will concentrate on that half week before New Year's Day, to give you a bit of a break."

"The New Year's Day party will be on December 30th, Monday evening, and the carnival will be in the morning of the 31st. Then in the afternoon, the school knows you won't have the mindset for classes, so there'll be a freshman assembly in the auditorium."

"You can bring phones during that half week, but like during the sports festival, you must hand them over to me beforehand. Sunday evening self-study and Monday daytime classes will proceed normally, and I'll return them to you on Monday night.

Don't harbor any wishful thinking. If you don't hand it in and I catch you, you'll get your phone back at the end of the semester. If the school catches you, ha, don't expect me to plead for you. Pick it up at the academic office when you graduate."

Without even looking up, Bai Bufan knew that when Xue Jian said this, he was staring at Lin Li and maybe casting a glance at himself.

Lin Li is really mischievous.

"If you want to sign up for the party program now, you can tell me. If you have ideas for the carnival, you can discuss it. There's still half a month, and if the project isn't complicated, there's plenty of time."

Unlike the lukewarm response to the New Year's Day party, the classroom immediately became lively for this carnival, and everyone was quite interested.

"What should we do?"

"I feel food and drinks are better. If we can't sell it all in the end, we can just consume it ourselves, and it won't be a waste."

"I have a slush machine at home. If needed, I can lend it to the class for free. It's a pity it's winter now. It would definitely sell better in summer, but I think there will still be customers wanting it, and slush is really just slush with some flavoring water, and the cost isn't high."

"That's worth considering."

"Projects like the hoola hoop game the teacher mentioned are also doable. They don't really cost anything, can be reused, or rented. After all, it's only for one day, and I think it's pretty good."

"Why don't we just run a flea market and sell secondhand stuff?"

"..."

——This is the style of the first half of the class, human beings.

"What should we do?"

"Our class shouldn't lose face, don't make something petty that people look down on. If we're selling, sell luxury goods, gold and jewelry!!!

But then again, I currently don't have channels for gold and jewelry."

"What the hell else can you sell!"

"Why not sell some Genshin Impact merchandise? According to unofficial history, New Year's Day was set to celebrate the birth of Genshin Impact, it's kind of fitting."

"Damn! You bastard! I should invite Zhu Yuanzhang over!"

"What for?"

"Zhu Yuanzhang hates Genshin Impact, so he established the Ming Dynasty to oppose Genshin Impact."

"Damn! So Brother Gouzi is actually the anti-Genshin Impact forum leader!"

"Hearing you guys talk makes me want to eat mangoes. I think our class should sell food. That way, we won't be hungry at lunchtime if it doesn't sell.

Also, I agree with Bufan that our class shouldn't lose face and sell petty stuff that people look down on, so let's sell lobsters and king crabs!"

"Bao Wei, are you using class funds to order food?"

"You're all messing around. Ultimately the project needs Old Jian's approval, and your ideas won't pass. Why not listen to me? I have an idea that could make our class famous and then mysterious again."

"Go ahead."

"Old Jian mentioned the hallway outside the classroom is each class's assigned area without needing an application. Why don't we block the hallway and charge a toll?

Or we could collect 'bully fees' from other classes. If anyone dares not to pay, we'll go mess up their business."

"What about our dignity and face?"

"Don't worry about those petty things."

"..."

——This is the style of the latter half of the class, non-human beings.

Sitting upright, tightly against the chair back, on the surface appearing to discuss while pretending to be human, in reality eavesdropping with pricked ears, filtering out the human-like dialogue from the first half of the class to listen to the non-human ramblings of the boys at the back, feeling satisfied.

——This is the style of Huang Yi and Zhou Jiana, masters of eavesdropping.

Looking down at the desk while hearing the laughter from good friends at a distance behind, but unable to hear clearly, scratching their heads, ultimately looking up at the expressionless Xue Jian, then bowing their heads again, clenching their teeth yet feeling self-pity.
