Chapter 23

So it turns out, you can hit teachers...

After Shi Jian's speech, the students at Qing Shan First High School extracted the key point.

When Shi Jian studied the "Teacher's Code" and "Student's Code," she found it ridiculous. In this grade-obsessed high school, there were many rules set for students, but none that mentioned prohibiting fights or violence.

That means it's allowed, right?

The gaze of thousands of students was hard to ignore, it felt almost tangible, and this made the teacher group under their scrutiny immediately shudder.

"What do you want to do?"

"What are you looking at? Want to get punished?"

Some teachers started to bluff with tough threats. No one expected that the first student to act was an ordinary girl.

The girl wore thick glasses, almost like the bottom of a bottle, her head lowered, with bangs nearly covering half her face. She was a bit chubby. She pushed through the crowd and walked up to one of the teachers.

"Teacher Yu," the girl called.

Teacher Yu frowned and scolded, "Who told you to come out? Go back to your spot!"

The girl completely ignored Teacher Yu’s words, and continued speaking, "I know, I'm very ugly, I'm also fat. Aside from my good grades, I have no other shining qualities. I don't have many friends, and my classmates don't like to hang out with me. I’m not too keen on socializing. Fortunately, I still have a small hobby, I have characters I created to accompany me. So, I’m not too lonely."

"I like to write, occasionally read novels, but I don’t neglect my studies, nor do I do this during class. So, why—"

Until now, the girl had been speaking like an inner monologue, but at this point, she suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with intense hatred. Her voice grew louder.

"Why did you read my writing aloud in front of the whole class? Why did you gossip with other teachers in the office about how ugly I am, how I’m crazy about men? Why did you tear up the manuscript I worked hard on and throw it in the trash?"

"Those things you look down on were my mental support. I spent years writing them, and now they’re all gone."

"You slapped me 13 times, inciting campus violence and letting me be mocked by the other students... I jumped from the 6th floor. It hurt, but it didn’t hurt as much as when you tore up my manuscript and cursed at me."

The girl's voice was full of sorrow, every "Why" a cry soaked in blood and tears.

The streamers all displayed expressions of anger and sympathy.

Years of hard work destroyed by a teacher's hands, and then to be insulted and smeared. It was truly tragic.

The girl's appearance started to rapidly change, becoming disfigured, resembling what she would look like after the jump. She looked at the teacher and said, "Teacher, I’m ranked third in the grade. I’m allowed to hit you, right?"

Teacher Yu was horrified, and her expression changed. She was about to flee, but she didn’t have as much resentment as the girl.

The girl had turned into a vengeful ghost. Before Teacher Yu could even run a few steps, the girl was already in front of her, biting into her. The sound of screams filled the playground, followed by the fading pleas for mercy.

This was just the first.

After the girl made the move, a male student approached another teacher.

"I really like playing soccer, but you stepped on and broke my ball. So, I can only take off my own head and kick it like a ball. Teacher, my grades are also good, and I think your head looks round. So, can I...?"

...

In an instant, the playground became chaotic. Some were inspired, some took revenge, some were seeking justice, others shouted for freedom, for break time, for activities between classes.

It was on fire!

Other streamers were even more disturbed by the absurdity and the pitfall nature of the school than the students of Qing Shan First High School.How could there be a school where doing poorly in studies means you should die? It seems that, apart from grades, nothing else matters.

We all grew up in a normal environment. Education should focus on the comprehensive development of morality, intellect, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor, not just evaluating a student’s worth based on grades alone.

Recently, the streamers had entered the dungeon, and they began to feel heavy and oppressed. Now, hearing Shi Jian's speech was like—

Hearing the music of the gods, suddenly everything became clear.

They felt refreshed.

The freckled female streamer gazed up at Shi Jian, who was standing on the stage, single-handedly sparking conflict between the students and the teachers, and couldn’t help but admit:

She’s so dazzling.

【The PE and art teachers are always busy, and the other teachers end up having to cover their lessons. This is way too real!】

【Where’s the sister who said Shi Jian was going to stir things up? I’ll gladly call you a prophet.】

【I really didn’t expect the apology to be followed by an "excellent student" speech, this move is so slick. Plus, the background music? It’s insane.】

【Hahahahahaha, I hit the school doctor, but I’m still a good student. Wow, streamer, you’re awesome, definitely following you.】

【The star’s heart is covered, Ah Wei keeps dying, it’s so good, so handsome.】

【If the school doctor could have predicted that Shi Jian would pull this stunt, they probably wouldn’t have made her apologize in the first place, right?】

【The Director of Education beside her is nodding in agreement. Speaking of which, I remember when we first entered the dungeon, the Director was praising Shi Jian for being polite and well-behaved.】

【“Polite,” “Well-behaved.”】

【Ahh, the girl who jumped off the building is so pitiful. A teacher like that doesn’t deserve to be called a teacher, does she?】

【Yacht X6】

The chat room became extremely lively once Shi Jian began speaking, with constant messages flooding the screen. Gifts poured in non-stop, and some viewers even threw in 6 yachts, meaning they were contributing a solid 3,000 points before the platform took its cut.

Shi Jian had already elegantly stepped down from the podium, and Tang Tian and the campus belle ghost met her halfway.

Tang Tian gave Shi Jian a thumbs-up, genuinely praising her, "Awesome!"

The campus belle ghost, holding her phone, showed Shi Jian her photo album, "Sis, look at the photos I took of you. I’ve got all sorts of angles."

Shi Jian glanced at the photos, her mood even better.

Who is the beauty in these pictures? Turns out it’s her!

No surprise—it’s her. With no dead angles, even candid shots can look stunning.

Previously, the stand-up comedy show had been quite popular, and Shi Jian's team had arranged for her to appear on a comedy program. Shi Jian had some experience with this kind of thing, and now, seeing her classmates' reactions, she felt she had done quite well.

Tang Tian still wanted to describe how moved she was after watching Shi Jian’s performance. When Shi Jian intentionally twisted the Director of Education’s trembling finger into giving her a "call," Tang Tian couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

But Tang Tian had other matters to attend to.

The sports students from Qing Shan First High were temporarily arranged to go outside for training and would return tomorrow, thankfully with no apparent danger.

The PE teacher was probably afraid of being fired or being confronted by other students, so they kept urging Tang Tian and the others.

Shi Jian reminded Tang Tian to be careful, and watched her leave.The Director of Education had now regained his composure. He picked up the microphone and took control of the situation, "Now, immediately, go back to your classrooms!"

"Anyone who continues to cause trouble will run 100 laps on the playground!"

The Director of Education still had a lot of authority in the school. Under his gaze, the once noisy students gradually fell silent, leaving the playground in groups.

It was not easy to overthrow the school system, but with just a few words, Shi Jian had exposed the conflict between students and teachers in broad daylight, leaving a thorn in the students' hearts about the unscrupulous teaching staff.

The next eruption might be even more intense.

The Director of Education's face was drawn and tense. At this moment, he desperately wanted to take a sledgehammer and vent his anger by smashing the students' bones. But when he turned to see Shi Jian, who had "blown up" the school with a few words, casually greeting her classmates as if nothing had happened, his urge to take action only grew stronger.

The Director of Education walked over to Shi Jian, who was having a mini fan meeting. She thought the Director would be furious, but to her surprise, he actually smiled and was even somewhat amiable.

The Director of Education said with hidden meaning, "You don’t really think getting an A is just about grades, do you?"

Shi Jian, who had still been basking in the excitement of a successful solo performance, suddenly lost her enthusiasm. It felt like she had fallen into an abyss of ice.

She frowned. What did that mean?

Wasn't getting an A at the end of the term based on grades?!

Both the streamers and the audience in the chat room naturally understood that Qing Shan First High's graduation requirement of getting an "A" after the final exam was seen as a requirement based on grades.

Qing Shan First High had always conveyed that message internally as well.

After transferring classes, Shi Jian’s grades had no issues anymore, especially since she was now allowed to give speeches as an excellent student. But now the Director of Education was telling her—

You don’t really think getting an A is just about grades, do you?

...

The viewers in the chat room understood the Director’s underlying message. The atmosphere shifted from joyful celebration to "Mom, I’m scared, I’m terrified, help me."

The tension and fear were palpable.

At least, from the Director’s words, it could be inferred that it wasn’t just about grades. This was never mentioned before, and wasn’t this playing with people’s mindset?!

Shi Jian was also hit by this sudden bad news. Her mind went blank for a moment, but she quickly spoke up cautiously, "Would you like to elaborate on that?"

Shi Jian perked up her ears, eager to listen.

As the saying goes, the role of a teacher is to impart knowledge, guide students, and solve their doubts.

Now, Shi Jian was waiting with a well-behaved student face, eager for the Director of Education to explain. If she didn’t understand, she would ask.

The audience in the chat room:?

With Shi Jian's sudden interruption, they no longer knew whether to be scared or not.

The Director of Education:?

Now she was treating him like a teacher? That wasn’t how she acted when she was speaking earlier.

The Director of Education paused under Shi Jian’s inquiring gaze. After a while, he couldn't help but ask, "Do I look like a fool?"

He didn't wait for Shi Jian's answer. With a cold snort, he turned and left. If he didn’t leave now, he felt like Shi Jian might just drive him mad.

Shi Jian, with her "Why not try? It doesn't cost anything" mindset, was already considering the possibility that the Director might directly give her the answer. Since she hadn’t received an answer yet, she would have to actively seek it out.The school beauty ghost provided Shi Jian with a clue.

"Sis, do you want to get an A in the final exams? I remember that, aside from meeting the grade requirements, you also need evaluations from a few teachers?"

Shi Jian hadn’t expected to get an answer from Xiao Hua, "Do you know which teachers?"

Xiao Hua wasn’t sure, but she had a wide network, and with a slap to her chest, she assured Shi Jian not to worry, quickly mobilizing her resources.

At noon, the school beauty ghost excitedly told Shi Jian that she had taken care of it, "My friend will bring the informant soon."

However, neither Xiao Hua nor Shi Jian expected that the one brought over would be a big yellow dog.

Shi Jian:?

"Dog?"

Xiao Hua stole Shi Jian’s question.

The big yellow dog opened its mouth and spoke, giving Xiao Hua a human-like glare, "What do you mean, 'dog'? Rude."

"Call me Senior!"
