Awesome!
Wang Aiguo's casual remark got the whole class involved in this freshman knowledge competition.
As expected of a teacher, having studied for two more years, he's truly different from these greenhorn kids; he's incredibly smart.
Fuck your mother...
Wang Aiguo was clever, but Fu Chen was the one with a headache. He glanced at these strange and wonderful classmates and was extremely annoyed.
Neither of them are normal people, so how can they stand out in this knowledge competition?
Standing out here doesn't mean being smarter than anyone else.
Or it could be a competition to see who can stand out more in the entire knowledge contest…
Instead, he wants to come in last place in the entire knowledge competition!
With such a large number of participants, he, who was originally full of confidence, is now somewhat less confident.
He knew very well just how capable these people were; their strength lay in the fact that they never played by the rules.
No one could imagine what they would do next; it was as if anything they said or did in the next second was perfectly reasonable.
So for the next few days, he will be preparing intensively for this knowledge competition.
Wang Aiguo didn't even elaborate much on this knowledge competition.
It wasn't because the entire knowledge competition's content and questions lacked any scope; it was because he dozed off during the meeting and didn't even understand the scope himself.
This wave can only be overcome by the students' knowledge reserves and individual abilities.
This has caused considerable distress for many people.
After all, the rankings and results of this knowledge competition will not be included in the overall rankings of regular grades, class rankings, and grade rankings.
However, in this freshman knowledge competition, outstanding students still have the opportunity to win some generous prizes, so they will not take the competition too lightly.
However, this did not have any positive effect on Fu Chen's attempt to achieve last place.
Even though this group of students tried very hard to achieve a good ranking in this freshman knowledge competition...
But this isn't something you can simply think about and that's enough.
It mainly depends on whether they possess this ability.
A review of each class reveals that they basically lack this ability entirely.
Therefore, Fu Chen believes that this knowledge competition must be won by defeating them from multiple dimensions and aspects.
The first dimension is that the answer must be sufficiently outrageous and shocking. If it is not, then he has no chance of being the last place winner in this knowledge competition.
He has already tried to find other teachers to find out the exact details of this freshman knowledge competition.
It is now clear that the main content of the knowledge competition is answering questions, including questions about knowledge, common sense, and riddles.
This reply is no different from nonsense.
However, he was also certain that as long as his answers were unexpected and foolish enough to render the questions completely wrong…
Achieving last place in this competition is not a particularly difficult problem.
The main issue is that this competition had absolutely no connection to my usual individual performance.
Therefore, if you perform poorly enough in this competition and answer all the wrong questions, it will be enough to leave people speechless.
Then the task and goal of being last in the rankings will not be difficult for me.
After all, the reward for the quest is materials for a golden potion. Some difficulty is to be expected.
Although it is difficult, it is at least achievable.
It's not as difficult as Missions Two and Three yet.
This task is much easier than achieving the lowest score in the class, the lowest score in the grade, or even the lowest score in the school.
In the evening, Fu Chen was thinking about studying, so he decided to go online to see if there were any ways to make his answers shocking enough.
But he doesn’t know if it was because of the influence of that group of classmates, but he would always lose focus without realizing it and inexplicably open the second-hand trading platform Xianyu.
Before he even finished the first task and obtained the materials for that golden potion, he had already begun searching for other golden potion materials, as well as the value and price of finished potions.
Gold potion ingredients belong to the sixth tier of all potion ingredients, making them significantly higher quality than the green and purple ones encountered previously.
Furthermore, it is a full level higher than orange-level potions.
This completely demonstrates that this golden potion is a high-quality, high-level potion that no alchemist below the fifth rank can refine.
Even some sixth-level alchemists cannot easily and effortlessly refine it, which shows just how rare and difficult it is to refine a gold-grade magic potion.
On the market, there are quite a few individual sellers selling golden potions on second-hand platforms like Xianyu.
The price has already reached over 5.
Some materials for gold-grade potions cost as much as twenty to thirty thousand per set.
Furthermore, these are relatively common magical potions in the secular world, namely materials that enhance cultivation and spiritual affinity, and reduce physical fatigue.
Some truly special rare gold items rarely appear on Xianyu (a second-hand marketplace platform). If they do appear, they are usually very expensive, and it's not uncommon for some to cost tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan.
The main problem now is that the system assigns this task, and the golden potion materials given to him have a certain degree of randomness.
Although golden potions are of the same level, there are many differences between them.
For example, the effects vary, and the duration and strength of different drug effects also differ, so in this situation…
If he randomly gets some good gold-quality potions, he can make a fortune. If he randomly gets some average gold-quality potions, they are still worth at least tens of thousands of dollars.
That depends on your luck.
草…
As the saying goes, "One is influenced by one's company." After living in Pei Choi Middle School for so long, I have indeed been assimilated by their atmosphere.
As a result, Fu Chen sometimes acts strangely and has difficulty concentrating.
He then focused all his energy on the knowledge competition.
Using their intelligence to think and figure out how to stand out in the entire knowledge competition and become the last place.
He has been thinking about this issue for the past few days, and through his role as the class's psychology committee member, he has communicated with almost everyone in the class.
Let's see what their opinions are on this knowledge competition.
As he gradually learned more, he felt that he had finally found a systematic and relatively easy-to-achieve way of answering questions.
Of course, nothing is certain, and he didn't know if this method would help him succeed, but he was still very confident in himself.
On the other hand, some students seemed to have a good understanding of their own abilities and chose not to waste time on the entire knowledge competition.
Edwards is one of them.
During the preparation for the knowledge competition, he was extremely obedient to Fu Chen's family, just like a maid.
Even though Fu Chen's family didn't actively ask him to do anything, he was very conscientious and proactive in taking care of all the trivial matters for them.
Before dawn, before the roosters crowed, he arrived at Fu Chen's house, prepared breakfast for Fu Chen's family, woke them up, and cleaned the area in front of their house beforehand.
They repainted Fu Chen's bicycle that he used to go to school.
They charged Fu Chen's parents' electric scooter, dressed them, and sometimes even fed them.
This approach... He estimates he's already handling nearly 99% of the family and household chores.
He believed that what he was doing at Fu Chen's house was enough to win the favor of Fu Chen's family, but what still felt strange was that the old issues were brought up again.
Despite doing so much to gain their approval, Fu Chen's family seemed to show no appreciation for his good deeds.
Finally, one day he couldn't help but ask Fu Chen whether he was satisfied with his behavior and actions over the past few days.
"I'm 100% satisfied, Edwards. I don't think anyone could have done a better job than you."
Edwards, unwilling to remain a clown forever, took the initiative and asked, "So, what do you think of me? What do your aunt and uncle think of me?"
"That's great, that's great, what's wrong? They both said I'm so lucky to have you as a classmate!"
"So when can I move in?"
"Why move here?"
"I'll move in with you!"
"Why do you want to live with us?"
"So that I can better serve you."
"No need to go to such lengths, it's fine as it is now. I'm afraid that would be too much trouble for you."
Edwards, you have your own life to live too. Focus more on yourself. If there's anything you need me to do, just let me know, and I'll do everything I can to help you!
"Really?" Edwards asked with great interest, his tone tinged with excitement.
"I swear, my Black friends."
"I'm a little short on cash lately. I was wondering if you have a few thousand dollars? I could borrow some to tide me over?"
"I see..."
Fu Chen pondered, rummaging through his small schoolbag and then his wallet.
"I won't let you down, Edwards, just you wait."
After searching through the money, Fu Chen pulled out a thick wad of one-yuan bills and handed them to Edwards. Edwards didn't know how much there was, but there was definitely at least a hundred or so yuan. However, looking at the money, he was speechless for a moment...
"That's all I have, Edwards. Do you think it's too much? I'll keep half for myself. Don't feel guilty. You can pay me back slowly later. I'm not in a hurry to use the money."
"Also, Edwards, I need to prepare for the upcoming knowledge competition, let's talk about it later."
For a moment, Fu Chen was unsure whether what he was doing was right or wrong.
Unexpectedly, the first person he was hooked up with wasn't a girl who had long admired him, but a Black man.
He felt he might have been too beastly, but it was also unlikely that he was too beastly.
Edwards put the meager sum of a few dozen dollars into his pocket.
Although life may seem uncertain, we still need to keep striving and moving forward.
Just like now, no matter how confused or difficult the situation is, we need to work hard.
Therefore, he has set a goal for himself: the knowledge competition that will be held soon.
I wonder if the top winners of the knowledge competition can receive some financial assistance to help with my life.
No, maybe I could try talking to my mom?
He recalled the time a few days ago when his father abandoned him and made him run away again, and quickly thought about it.
I felt this was an opportunity to connect with my mother.
He hadn't spoken to his biological mother, Niu Ermei, for nearly two or three years. He took this opportunity to revisit the past and bring up his biological father, hoping to awaken his mother's conscience and maternal love.
I'm hoping to take advantage of this opportunity to get some living expenses and improve my life.
But after he told the other party about this, he didn't expect that the other party's former client, who is now his mother's husband, was also present.
Upon hearing this, he immediately assumed that the wife he had just bought was about to run off with the black man again…
He immediately started fighting with his mother, Niu Ermei.
Niu Ermei was honest and afraid of being misunderstood, so she quickly broke off contact with Edwards, took her client and his family to find Edwards, and together they beat him up.
Now, with no money for living expenses and having spent a lot on medical bills, Edwards, beaten black and blue, could only slink away.
The next few days were relatively calm. Those in the class who were supposed to get sick continued to get sick steadily, and those who shouldn't get sick also started to get sick steadily.
People who didn't get sick before are now getting sick, and people whose symptoms were relatively mild before are now getting increasingly severe symptoms.
On the evening of September 21st, the day of the freshman celebration, all the first-year students were arranged to sit in the lecture hall.
As the saying goes, a new broom sweeps clean, and Li Rong was unwilling to be relegated to this lousy school. So, throughout his speech, he constantly proclaimed his grand ambitions and far-sighted plans.
He also shared his views on the school and his plans for change, attempting to convey his dedication to all students.
But all the students thought he was an idiot.
Simply because he spent a full four hours reciting those so-called polite words from 4 PM to 8 PM, and all those words were condensed into four words:
Study hard.
After Li Rong, the newly appointed principal, gave a lengthy speech, the freshman knowledge competition officially kicked off at 9 p.m.
