Is what you're learning correct?

Chapter 18 Life is a Gamble

Lu Chi didn't stop walking, waving his hand behind him: "Good boy, your teacher is getting old, no matter how much he eats, it won't make him any smarter. But it's different for us students, at least we can still grow taller!"

Lu Ying was stunned: "You! You wait! You haven't given me my New Year's red envelope yet!"

Lu Chi replied dismissively, "Why don't you ask your sister or your parents? They might not want to give it to you anymore."

"!!!"

"Lu Chi...you and the English teacher...are you related?"

After retrieving the handwritten manual from Deng's office, on the way back to the classroom, Dan Heman walked back to Yingbao's office. Only then did she stammer and ask this question, much slower than expected.

Ok.

This girl is so naive.

Lu Chi was a beat behind, after all, he was thinking to himself, "She's a whole generation older than her, Lu Ying has an older sister who's two years older than her and teaches English at Yancheng University. She's much more senior. I'll bring her over to help you out sometime."

"Salt, Professor Salt?" Shan Heman exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, she's amazing!"

Lu Ying suddenly poked her head out, her ghostly, mournful voice echoing in the corridor: "Lu-classmate, I-heard-!"

"Hurry up, hurry up! This damn school is filthy; they're catching thugs in broad daylight!"

"..."

As soon as he entered the classroom, Lu Chi started hurling the caterpillar-shaped gummy candies at Group 7 like bullets, delivering lightning-fast QA attacks with headshots. Before the stunned group of students could even react, the remaining fruit juice gummy candies in Lu Chi's pocket were instantly snatched up by the swarm of Dunkleosteus.

"Godfather's grace!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"It's...it's Hsu Fu Chi! Such a divine product!"

"A miracle cure! I feel like my brainpower has been unlocked to 100%! Everyone get out of the way, this superhuman is about to start doing a math test!"

"Let me copy this!"

Liu Lan, intrigued by this mysterious handwritten cultivation technique reserved for inner disciples, fiddled with it for a while, finally uttering a nonsensical remark: "It's even hand-sewn and bound! Brilliant! I can make copies and sell them to my friends and family! Make a fortune, amass a huge dowry of fragments! But what if Deng finds out? He won't kill me, will he?"

Lu Chi scoffed, "Old Qian's human race's Heaven-Rank cultivation technique is only worth a mere twenty spirit stones, you beasts! Why don't you buy it? What kind of money are you making anyway?"

"Oh right..." Liu Lan slumped down with a thud, then straightened up again: "No, no, how can that be right? What about all those '53-year-old' textbooks that I've bought all these years, the ones that are completely wrong? What about them??"

"Have you bought it?"

"Oh...no..."

I'm just sitting here, idling away, continuing to slack off.

This place, Group 7, is a geomantically auspicious place. 100% of the people here are determined to stay in Yanchuan. Some are guaranteed admission, some are just giving up, and some are just lying down. Life is nothing more than climbing over one high wall after another. From Yanchuan Kindergarten to Yanchuan No. 1 Primary School next door, to Yanchuan University Affiliated High School next door, to Yanchuan University next door, and if you're not careful, you'll end up at Yanchuan No. 2 Hospital and Yanchuan Funeral Home next door.

February 11th, no rush to deliver today, just delivery.

The mushrooms, monkey head mushrooms, and sika deer antlers, plus the tender shoots that Eighth Master and his mountain hot spring shed sprouted, totaled about four hundred catties. They were divided into seven portions and delivered to seven households. This was the first order of the year, hoping that harmony would bring wealth.

After pedaling his little scooter all morning through the freezing cold, Lu Chi was fine, but the scooter was exhausted and collapsed in some no-man's-land. He tossed the scooter to the side of the road, snapped a photo, and sent the location to Eighth Master: "It's broken down. When you go out later, can you give me your scooter a ride back? I'll put the keys in the basket."

Go to the stadium, take the subway.

The smoke of the Spring Festival has died down, and on Renri (the seventh day of the first lunar month), the holiday ended at the very end.

The subway station was brightly lit and packed with people. Lu Chi strolled in, scrolling through his phone as he entered the station. As he passed a row of mirrors, he glanced at them and exclaimed, "Good heavens!" His hair, already ravaged by the heat trapped inside his helmet and hat, had been reshaped by the wind before he even entered the station, looking completely wild and unruly. He was so angry he laughed. Once on the train, he grabbed the handrail and stood there, staring at everyone he could see with amusement.

Especially the girl sitting opposite him, she was trying so hard to suppress her laughter that she was about to develop pulmonary bullae.

It's so hard, so incredibly hard.

Lu Chi's eyes lit up with a sudden idea. He started with zero frames—yes, that's right, starting in the physical sense.

"?"

The girl looked to be at most in junior high or maybe high school; she had a very student-like air about her, with long, straight black hair and no makeup. She wasn't exactly beautiful, but she was very pure and youthful, and looked quite well-behaved. She blinked her bright eyes, looked at Lu Chi's outstretched hand with a question mark on her face, tilted her head, and pointed to herself.

Lu Chi clenched his fist three times.

The internationally recognized gesture left the young woman completely bewildered for two seconds. After blinking a few times, she finally understood.

Rock, paper, scissors!

Lu Chi lost, took out a small bread from his pocket, and handed it over. The young lady's face was full of joy. She pointed to herself, Lu Chi nodded, and she took it incredulously.

The uncles, aunts, grandfathers, and grandmothers next to me were all smiles, their eyes glued to the screen.

Rock, paper, scissors.

Another loss.

Lu Chi rummaged through his pockets again, pulled out two caterpillar-shaped fruit gummies that he had taken from Lu Ying and survived in the mouths of a group of prehistoric megalodon sharks, and placed them in the other person's hand with the rustling of the wrappers.

Wow.

The young lady cheered silently.

Then, naturally, she lost. Lu Chi beckoned with his finger and smiled. The little girl pursed her lips, handed back the fruit juice gummies, and Lu Chi waved his hand, returning the small bread and waving his hand again.

The young woman was a little confused. After thinking for a moment, she turned to the side and took out a bottle of soda from her bag.

A cold rejection.

Lu Chi extended his hand with a serious expression, as if shaking hands. The young lady looked at Lu Chi's face, her cheeks flushed, and she timidly extended her delicate white hand.

Hey~

The people watching from the sidelines were practically cheering, beaming with admiration as they looked at Lu Chi. "Damn, this young man is amazing! He knows everything!"

Lu Chixu held the young lady's hand and lifted it higher and higher. The young lady stood up with his movements and twirled around like she was dancing. She was wearing at least two layers of down, like a cotton candy bud about to bloom.

duang.

They switched places, and Lu Chi plopped down in his seat, casually crossing his legs. Ha, this one's even more clueless.

clam?

The smiles of the aunties around them froze on their faces in an instant.

Lu Chi silently gestured for her to proceed. The young woman gritted her teeth, stomped her foot, and stood on tiptoe to grab the handrail. She was willing to accept defeat, but her eyes were still fixed on Lu Chi. In her other hand, she tightly gripped a small bread and a gummy candy. She remained silent, her hatred evident, and her tongue licked under her cheek, angrily expressing her emotions.

"Let's go, SuSu~"

The station announcement sounded for the third time. The middle-aged man who had been sitting next to Lu Chi glanced at Lu Chi with a stern face, stood up and left. The young woman followed him off the subway, dejected. When the middle-aged man wasn't paying attention, she forcefully raised her middle finger through the glass, then gave a haughty snort and left gracefully.
