Waste is just the threshold to my meeting.

Chapter 44 It turns out Fu Chen is a bit dim-witted.

Principal Li Rong has already decided to quietly enjoy his retirement.

Because he accidentally said something wrong and offended a high-ranking leader, he had no choice but to be transferred to Pei-Tsai Middle School…

He had been indulging in wishful thinking.

Fu Chen became a student at their school.

Is there even the slightest possibility that this guy's previous dramatic fall from grace was an illusion, and that he actually possesses a system?

However, on the first day of enrollment, Li Rong did some research and found out that Fu Chen publicly admitted that he had a system and was boasting about it.

Even without looking at Fu Chen's face directly.

He could also imagine the meme of that little kid with a crooked mouth, squinting eyes, and drooling.

This guy is hopeless.

Fu Chen doesn't possess a system, which means there's no turning point or change for Pei Cai Middle School. He can't improve Pei Cai Middle School's record through a single classmate.

So in the past two days, Li Rong has come to a realization.

He spent most of his life in the military, constantly saying things against his conscience or rushing around for work, which left him physically and mentally exhausted.

Life is hectic, work is hectic, and time is hectic. After half a lifetime of wear and tear, the vigorous spirit of his youth has long since disappeared, replaced by a weary look in his eyes that has lost all its sparkle.

He was preparing to make his cloudy eyes clear again.

After figuring things out, he stopped worrying about fame and fortune and planned to quietly enjoy his retirement, growing flowers and raising snakes in his office. He was also recommended fishing and cycling by other teachers and colleagues.

Another day, he would do what those rebellious kids did and get two dragons and Guan Yu tattooed on his skin, which had lost some elasticity and was sagging.

The vice principal always recommended that he get a tattoo on his abdomen with a heart-shaped Ace of Spades and wings made of stacked lines on both sides. He didn't know what it was, but he thought it was quite interesting.

But just when he saw no hope in Pei-Cai Middle School and only wanted to uphold the principle of "men live, women don't die," he was determined to just drift along and wait to die.

That morning, news came directly from the toilet.

Li Rong sprayed the flowers on the balcony with a spray bottle.

The most important thing for a person is to compromise, so he crossed out the words "the woman must not die".

Let's not have too high expectations. Just getting by is bad enough. This life is a mess, this existence is a mess...

But in the afternoon, another message came.

Lai Shi was admitted to the hospital.

This was not a big deal. At the time, Li Rong was holding his pet snake, which was kept on the table, and playing with it by coiling it around his palm.

He didn't seem to care: "How did this happen? As long as the person isn't seriously injured, that's fine. Don't bother me with this kind of thing all the time."

Until he heard:

Lai was injured while sparring with a student.

"what?"

Is this even possible?

Generally speaking, the incident of a student injuring a teacher would not happen anywhere.

Even in some top-tier key high schools or even universities, such a situation would be impossible.

Because martial arts and medicine are two professional fields, the achievements of teachers in these two fields will far exceed those of their students.

This is the only way to better impart knowledge and teach students.

The more important or advanced the school, the better.

The achievements and personal abilities of teachers in these fields are far superior, so there is almost no situation where a student would injure a teacher during a sparring session or a practical lesson.

Even if teachers sometimes suffer losses at the hands of students, it's not a big deal.

But now, Lai Shi was indeed sent directly to a nearby hospital for treatment.

Li Rong, who had been slumped in his chair like Ge You, suddenly sat up: "Who was it? Was it an accident?"

The teacher in the office said, "It's Fu Chen from Class 5 of the first year of high school. Perhaps it was an accident, because..."

"What a joke."

"You don't know anything!"

Li Rong seems to have gone mad.

He swept all the reptiles on the table to the floor.

He rushed out the door.

What do other people know? Is this an accident?

An ordinary student can beat a teacher? Is this even a student?

Are you kidding me?

This is because Fu Chen cheated!

After much back and forth, Li Rong finally became convinced that Fu Chen did indeed possess a system because of this incident.

"I originally thought Fu Chen was a drooling idiot, but who the hell knew he was actually a moron... wait, that's not right."

"He's a genuinely good kid. If he has a system, he says so. He doesn't try to cheat or deceive people. He's really too honest. With him, I, Li Rong, can finally turn my life around. Nobody thought I would be a good candidate to take over as the principal of Pei Cai Middle School."

"I fucking have Fu Chen in my hands, this precious gem! Three years from now, in the martial arts college entrance exam—no… a month from now, in the city-wide unified exam for first-year high school students—you'll see how I slap you all in the face!"

Trembling, Li Rong hurried to the playground, intending to take a good look at Fu Chen.

Meanwhile.

The director and teachers from the Academic Affairs Office have arrived.

On the playground.

Li Boxue clapped his hands. Xiao Liao, whom he had just met that morning, was beside him, followed by the sweet and beautiful teacher whom Fu Chen had met that morning when he brought breakfast to class.

After some conversation, he learned that her name was Wang Tiantian. Because of her sweet smile and cute appearance, he simply called her Teacher Tiantian.

Teacher Tian Tian was still smiling, but Li Boxue, the academic affairs director, was quite unhappy.

"Fu Chen, your breakfast was confiscated when you brought it to school this morning, and you even went to the Boxue Building to watch the commotion during the first two periods. Now you've injured your martial arts teacher. Tell me, what exactly are you planning to do?"

Count how many student rules you broke on your first day of class. If this continues, are you going to cause a huge uproar?

Unlike Li Rong.

They knew very well what Fu Chen had done, if Fu Chen had injured Lai Shi in a proper sparring match.

Then the academic affairs office would have nothing to say, and might even think, like Li Rong, that Fu Chen might have some talent.

But he happened to use a rather insidious type of tactic...

There's something to talk about when it comes to respecting teachers and valuing their teachings.

"According to the rules, we should give you two major demerits and make you write a 300,000-word self-criticism." Li Boxue counted on his fingers.

"Six hundred thousand? Have I broken the law?" Fu Chen was shocked.

"Of course, you can donate some facilities to reduce the punishment, donate an outdoor fitness machine worth five thousand, or reduce the word count by one hundred thousand. It's up to you, but a demerit is unavoidable."

Fu Chen smiled.

But Teacher Tian had a headache. She had just become a teacher herself, and she couldn't help but think of Fu Chen... She thought of pleading for him.

Fu Chen looked behind them and asked, "Principal?"

Teacher Tian had been fooled by him once and no longer believed him: "Fu Chen, don't get agitated, Director Li, please consider that this is Fu Chen's first offense..."

"Stop, stop, stop! Who gave you the right to speak? Fu Chen, look me in the eye! Don't bring up the principal; school rules are school rules, and nobody can protect you!"

stare.

[Completed Task 1: The letter 'm' angered the teacher and resulted in a reprimand. Reward: One hour of unlocked martial arts cultivation, and one random Tier 3 crystal core.]

Does this work too?

At that moment, Li Rong rushed in.

Fuck a bunch of idiots, they can't understand anything, even Fu Chen got punished!
