Chapter 8 Speaking the Truth
Chapter 8 Speaking the Truth
"Holy crap, you're so handsome! That's an old tradition!"
Yao Zhi loved Fu Longhu from top to bottom.
Although Fu Longhu's tattoos are far less exquisite than Yao Zhiai's, it's still not easy for two people with more than twenty years of age difference to meet someone with the same interests.
"Auntie, you've taken such good care of these nails!"
Liu Liping and Yao Zhiai also became very close friends.
While the parents rushed to the office to give gifts to Wang Aiguo, Fu Longhu boasted to Fu Chen's other classmates:
"You guys are so lucky. Back in our day, we didn't have these kinds of conditions. We even had to go to school..."
I remember how ruthless we were back in school! A bunch of us who hadn't even entered the martial arts realm managed to beat several other practitioners so badly they practically shit themselves!
Wow!…
The students were all amazed.
Only Fu Chen knew that he was bragging.
If Dad Fu Longhu and Mom Liu Liping were born in this era, they would definitely have attended Pei Cai Middle School, which is known as the "useless school".
Back in the day, my parents dropped out of elementary school, hung out with those flamboyant, street-smart kids, spent all their time on the streets, started working in their teens, got married in their twenties, and had him…
It was a legendary life.
Therefore, his conversations with these good-for-nothing classmates had a natural fluency and familiarity; it was a feast for the old souls, the young souls, and the good-for-nothings.
This is something Fu Chen could only achieve by forcibly imitating and feigning abnormality.
Pretending is no match for genuine emotion... Haki's parents, I admit you win!
However, it was obvious that several students were not in the chat group.
A closer look reveals that they are all visual kei and high street fashion icons.
Their sense of style would likely be far superior to Fu Longhu's Want Want bodysuit and Loafers.
The students surrounding Fu Longhu and Liu Liping caused a stir, and then a student wearing a black hooded sweatshirt with a black Alan Wake pattern and a black mask stepped out from the crowd.
Zhang Jiahao joined the chat room.
"Dad Fu Chen, I admit you're awesome, but I once teamed up with two classmates who were beginners in martial arts and we beat eight first-level martial artists until they were crying for their parents!"
He held his head high and chest out.
But he didn't understand the difference between beginner level and first level.
If we were to use a math problem to describe it, the beginner level is like addition within ten, while the first-level martial artist has already reached the level of multiplication.
What's more, you're three beginner-level martial artists fighting against eight first-tier martial artists...
Let's open it at 91.
They can cut you into nine pieces in a second.
Ordinary people are completely unable to match martial artists. As a source of power that surpasses physical energy, spiritual power creates a world of difference between those who have only entered the realm of martial arts and those who haven't.
Fu Chen finally couldn't hold back anymore. He could tolerate this group of people who were abstract and stupid, but he couldn't stand those who especially liked to show off.
"That can't be right, buddy. You guys are just beginners, while they're first-level experts. What's more, they outnumber you. Come on, tell me, how exactly did you manage to take them down?"
Fu Chen said earnestly, "Jiahao, please explain this to us in detail. After all, if someone can beat a first-tier opponent with just a basic level, then I don't need to read this book anymore, and I don't need to go to school anymore. I've decided to drop out immediately and focus all my energy on studying your fighting style!"
Zhang Jiahao didn't catch the sarcasm in Fu Chen's words.
He sat down, his hands resting on his knees, his head tilted slightly upwards under the hood of his black hoodie, his eyes glancing upwards with a slightly arrogant smile.
"We were in a state of extreme anger!"
"You must never try to do this, and of course, you can't do it anyway."
Only by truly experiencing and understanding the coldness and pain of reality can one unleash such despairing power in a fit of rage…
Zhang Jiahao covered his eyes in anguish: "Being in pain and despair is not a good thing..."
Upon hearing this...
Yao Zhi'ai, covered in brake marks and nails, with her arms covered in knife marks, nodded emphatically in agreement with her classmates who were into high-street fashion, as if they could understand the pain.
"Hmm." Fu Chen nodded thoughtfully in agreement.
Perhaps Zhang Jiahao is truly experiencing the coldness and pain of reality.
He seemed to remember that the gift his father had given to Teacher Wang earlier was a wall calendar, right?
Time flew by and it was noon, lunchtime. Fu Longhu and Liu Liping, who had been there before, were busy frying fish, so Fu Chen couldn't join the conversation in the classmates' group chat.
He needs to quickly integrate with his classmates and complete the task, since the reward is a one-star increase in alchemy level, which is equivalent to one or two months of hard training for an ordinary person!
There's also another ingredient for the potion "Little Knife Pulls Butt".
"Dad, Mom, you two go explore the area first. I want to make friends with my classmates."
Liu Liping panicked: "No way, Xiao Chen! Do you think you're still the same person you were before? You can't beat them now!"
Fu Longhu waved his hand, turned Liu Liping's head around, kissed her with his betel nut-chewing lips, and then put his arm around her shoulder, saying:
"Let the kids fight it out. You don't know someone until you fight them. Back when I was chasing girls, I also got into fights with those jerk coworkers of mine."
Liu Liping sensed something was wrong. Her warm smile turned to anger, and she angrily pinched Fu Longhu's right ear until it turned red: "You...you mean I'm your first love?"
Fu Longhu groaned in pain, stamping his feet, and hurriedly explained, "I didn't beat anyone in the fight! That girl was taken away. Honey, you really are my first love, I'm not lying!"
"That's more like it."
Fu Longhu glanced at the time: "It's lunchtime, honey, let's go online!"
Liu Liping and a few students who had secretly taken the phones immediately opened King of Glory. After hearing "timi", Fu Longhu was speechless.
"Honey, let's start a food delivery business online! There are so many orders during mealtimes!"
"Oh, oh, oh..."
With her parents, who were full-time food delivery workers, gone, Fu Chen can finally get along well with her classmates.
at the same time.
The principal's office on the fifth floor of Chongde Building.
Li Rong glanced at his watch hurriedly, then grabbed his coat and rushed towards the first-year high school building.
He was in a hurry to meet someone.
Fu Chen.
Li Rong was very depressed.
If he hadn't offended the previous school's top leader, he wouldn't have been transferred directly from a top-tier high school to this "useless" high school, replacing the original corrupt principal as the new principal.
Although he was promoted from the original director to the principal, it was actually a demotion in disguise. In this damned, useless high school, he had to be careful not to make any mistakes. These guys were all a handful.
He had originally planned to accept his fate, but last week he went to a fortune teller on Xinqiao Street. The fortune teller, Zhang Diaoya, told him that he would soon meet a benefactor who would change his life.
Horse!
I searched everywhere I knew, but there was no one there.
But aren't all the new students at Pui Choi Secondary School born in the Year of the Horse?
So he thought of Fu Chen, whom he knew.
Originally a prodigy, he fell from grace for unknown reasons.
Originally, Li Rong didn't believe in these ridiculous novel plots, especially the "useless protagonist" plots, which he considered utterly laughable.
However, he has always believed in such superstitious things as fortune telling and almanacs.
"What's so strange about this? Could it be that Fu Chen has really awakened some kind of system, or activated some kind of cheat or talent?"
So he was in a hurry to go and verify it.
Although he hadn't figured out the most direct way to verify whether the other party had any cheat codes.
But he has a way of determining whether the other party definitely doesn't have a cheat code.
A normal person, if they have a system or a cheat code, would never admit it to themselves.
Li Rong will be able to make a preliminary judgment by subtly probing Fu Chen's reaction later.
Upon reaching the teaching building and exiting the stairwell, he heard a clear, crisp voice amidst the noisy crowd.
"Dude, let me be honest. I have a system that lets me pretend to be a bad student and get rewards. Isn't that awesome?"
