Chapter 45: 45. The genius heavily recruited by the school

Translator: 549690339

The four of them didn’t chat for long before they had pretty much exhausted all the topics within the group.

As the catalyst for the conversation, He Yu, seeing that there was little else to discuss, took the initiative to steer the conversation towards other classmates.

He mysteriously said to the three of them, “Guess who’s the strongest in our class. I bet you won’t be able to guess.”

Li Chuxin looked puzzled, “Aren’t you from Nanguan City? Logically, you shouldn’t know much about our class. How do you know who’s the strongest?”

No sooner had she finished speaking than she seemed to realize something and said somewhat speechlessly, “You’re not going to say you’re the strongest in the class, are you?”

“Not at all, I’m not that arrogant. I have some sense of reality; at best, I could only rank third in our class,” He Yu modestly claimed.

Li Chuxin shook her head and said, “Then I have no idea. I don’t know many people in the class.”

Just as she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered Lin Zichen, and immediately added with a smile, “If you really want me to guess, I’d say it’s Zi Chen who is the most formidable. He’s the district’s top scorer in the middle school exam!”

“Holy shit, Zi Chen, are you really that awesome?”

He Yu was a bit shocked; he hadn’t expected Lin Zichen to be the district’s top scorer.

Appearances can be deceiving!

After all, under normal circumstances, handsome people are usually not very skilled.

Because the powers that be have to be fair; they can’t make someone both good-looking and strong, otherwise it would totally disrupt the balance of the game called Earth OL.

After the shock, He Yu thought for a moment and felt it wasn’t a big deal, it was just district’s top scorer, not the city’s. He might not even be as strong as himself.

Thinking this, he said to the three of them in a hushed tone, “Being the district’s top scorer might be a bit lacking. You might not believe this, but we have two tough guys in our class who were heavily recruited by the principal from Nanguan City.”

“How so?”

Li Chuxin was very curious.

Lin Zichen was also quite interested, waiting for He Yu to reveal the answer.

He Yu motioned for the three to come closer and then, in an even lower voice, told them:

“That boy sitting by the window in the third row on the left, the one who just introduced himself on stage as Wang Shujie, he’s the third runner-up in Nanguan City’s middle school exams, and his 100-meter sprint is timed at 7.98 seconds!”

“Also, the tall guy sitting in the last row on the right, named Lu Gang, he’s naturally super strong and can easily lift a 300-kilogram barbell with one hand!”

“These two are definitely the strongest in the class. Besides them, Zi Chen and I should be considered the strongest,” He Yu added.

He Yu originally wanted to say that apart from those two, he was the strongest.

But considering that Lin Zichen was a member of his group, it seemed inappropriate to exclude him, so he included Lin Zichen as well.

“My God! Really?!”

Li Chuxin was astonished and her face showed her disbelief.

Shen Qinghan was calm as always, firmly believing that Lin Zichen was the strongest in the class, but she kept her thoughts to herself and didn’t voice her opinion.

Lin Zichen just smiled and said nothing.

Running 100 meters in 7.98 seconds?

Easily lifting a 300-kilogram weight with one hand?

Lin Zichen had been able to do both these things since primary school.

“Could some students come and help move some books and uniforms?”

The homeroom teacher, Han Yuanfeng, appeared at the door at some point and called into the classroom where everyone had been chatting animatedly.

A few boys sitting near the door immediately stood up and volunteered to help move the books and uniforms.

Before long.

The books and uniforms were all brought back.

Under Han Yuanfeng’s direction,

several students sitting in the front row quickly and orderly began distributing the books and uniforms to their classmates.

There weren’t many books, just four for each student, corresponding to the four main subjects.

“Martial Arts Practice Compulsory One”

“Genetic Fusion Compulsory One”

“Mechanical Transformation Compulsory One”

“Wilderness Survival Compulsory One”

The titles were simple and straightforward, making it clear what the content was about.

As for the uniforms, five sets were given out per student: three for summer and two for winter.

Lin Zichen opened a package and felt the material of the uniform, finding, to his surprise, that it was quite nice to the touch, not inferior to clothes that sell for hundreds in stores.

One could only say that a key high school is different; the funding is substantial, and the materials provided to students are never shoddy.

Once the books and uniforms had all been distributed.

Han Yuanfeng walked up to the podium and turned on the projector, casting a chart of class officer positions onto the screen.

There weren’t many positions, just five in total.

They were: class president, discipline officer, study officer, arts officer, and life officer.

Han Yuanfeng looked at the students below and said, “Anyone who wants to run for a class officer position can come up now and let everyone vote to decide.”

Lin Zichen wasn’t interested in these roles and took only a glance before lowering his head to flip through the textbook that had just been handed out.

Shen Qinghan was extremely introverted and had no intention of being a class officer either, also burying her head in the textbook.

He Yu set his eyes on the position of class president and said to his group, “Guys, I’ll be running for class president soon, don’t forget to vote for me.”

He had just finished speaking when Li Chuxin immediately followed up with a smile, “I’ll be running for arts officer later, so make sure to vote for me too.”

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan both nodded and agreed.

A few minutes later.

The election for class officers began.

Quite a few people wanted to be class officers, and one by one they stepped up to run.

He Yu was among the first to go up, aiming to be class president.

But unfortunately, he failed to be elected.

The position of class president was snapped up by Wang Shujie, who could run 100 meters in 7.98 seconds.

Changing his target, he decided to run for discipline officer.

Yet again, he was unsuccessful in the election.

The discipline officer role was taken by Lu Gang, who could easily lift 300 kg with one hand.

Feeling numb, He Yu returned to his seat with a face full of life’s doubts and only after a long while did he mutter resentfully, “Dammit, you two sneaky brats just wait. Sooner or later I’ll overtake you on the bend and rub you into the ground!”

Unlike He Yu, Li Chuxin aspired and successfully got elected as the arts officer.

[You worked in unison with your group members and successfully helped Li Chuxin get elected as the arts officer.]

[Cumulative deeds accomplished: 3/1000]

“Han Han, we don’t have a publicity officer in our class, so I, as the arts officer, will have to be in charge of the bulletin board. But I’m not good at drawing, and I remember you mentioned you liked drawing during your self-introduction. Could you help me out?”

After coming down from the podium, Li Chuxin adopted the same endearing title for Shen Qinghan that Lin Zichen used, and looked at Shen Qinghan with a pleading tone.

Faced with her deskmate’s request for help, Shen Qinghan agreed without hesitation, “Mhm, I will help you.”

She did enjoy drawing and was quite willing to take charge of the bulletin board.

Li Chuxin was immediately overjoyed upon hearing this and hugged her tightly, exclaiming, “Bestie, from now on, you are my bestie!”

Shen Qinghan was unaccustomed to the embrace and didn’t know where to put her hands.

Li Chuxin was overly enthusiastic, so much so that Shen Qinghan found it hard to get used to at first.

Lin Zichen watched this scene unfold before his eyes, smiling to himself. He thought it was a good development.

He reckoned it wouldn’t be long before Shen Qinghan would have a sister to share everything with.

Books and uniforms had been handed out.

Class officers had been selected.

Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Han Yuanfeng on the stage told the students they could have free time in the class and could go home at the end of the period, as long as they didn’t leave the school in the meantime.

Students sitting below were quite astonished to hear this.

Yesterday was the registration day, so it was understandable there were no classes.

But what about today? Why were there no classes today either?

Li Chuxin knew the reasoning behind this and smiled as she explained to the somewhat puzzled trio within her group:

“This is a tradition at Shanhai High School, to let students get acquainted with the school and their classmates as quickly as possible, there are no classes for the first two days, just free time.”

Lin Zichen was hearing about this for the first time and felt a bit uninformed.
