The system is very abstract, fortunately I am also.

Chapter 452 Zhang Haoyang really caused Wang Ze a lot of trouble.

Xue Lang cleverly devised a series of schemes, leading Lin Bai to mistakenly end up on the execution platform.

Old ginger is always the best.

The claim that there weren't enough test papers printed was all part of Xue Jian's plan!
Are you kidding me? Everyone else is making "peace rolls" tonight, but the one who caused all this only needs to eat a simple "peace apple"?
Xue Jian calls this treating everyone equally? This is clearly a case where those who do wrong get better treatment!
People are not concerned about scarcity but about inequality, especially since this "scarcity" is caused by two people.

Thinking of this, Lin Li and Bai Bufan felt extremely uneasy, not daring to move their heads directly, but only slowly moving their eyes to tentatively look at the classroom after Xue Jian left.

"..."

Oh wow, a horror movie.

In the completely silent classroom, almost everyone in the class was staring intently at the test paper instead of writing anything.

stare--

Even those former close friends in the back row showed no brotherhood whatsoever at that moment.

Especially Zhou Baowei.

His gaze first fell on the peace scroll in his own hand, then on the peace apple in Lin Bai's hand, his cold gaze making the two feel like strangers.

Dragons have scales that cannot be touched; they will become enraged.

Baowei also has a large stomach; touching it causes him to become impotent and enraged.

My! Apple!
You see, some people in the back row of the class aren't particularly interested in apples, but given Zhou Baowei's supreme status as the garbage can of Class 4 in the first year of high school, he only needs to use a little trick, such as patting his big stomach, and these lowly people in the back row of Class 4 will obediently offer him apples.

In other words, there was more than one thing you could have eaten!
Now, not only has my dream been shattered, but what I've received in return is a joint exam paper from Ping'an District!
This is intolerable, but not even for an aunt!
Lin Li chuckled awkwardly, "Haha, everyone, don't rush, wait a minute, we still have—"

Before Lin Li could finish speaking, Zhou Baowei interrupted him: "Shi Siyuan, Lin Li is talking during evening self-study, aren't you going to do anything about it?"

In the front row of the classroom, the discipline monitor named Shi Siyuan, who had already turned to look this way, calmly nodded: "Yes, noted."

Lin Li: "..."

Qin Zeyu: "Bai Bufan also spoke."

Bai Bufan was stunned, looking at Qin Zeyu in surprise: "When?"

Qin Zeyu: "Now."

Shi Siyuan: "Yes, I heard it and I remembered it."

Lin Li and Bai Bufan: "..."

Lin Li and Bai Bufan couldn't help but chuckle at first, but quickly suppressed their laughter.

After coughing twice to get into the zone, Lin Li said seriously:
"Gentlemen, this is a psychological trap carefully designed by Old Jiantou. It's a divisive tactic. He's trying to get you to vent your negative emotions on me and Bufan, two innocent people."

This is causing internal conflicts within us, weakening our class cohesion, and making us no longer a unified whole, in order to achieve his evil goal of ultimately tearing us apart!
Everyone! Don't you understand?! You absolutely mustn't fall for this!

We must unite! Unity is strength!

Lin Li felt a little resentful.

Lin Li remembered a proverb that went something like that.

A single chopstick inserted into a swallow-shaped steamed bun is easy to fall out, but a bundle of chopsticks can be packed tightly inside! This illustrates the power of unity! Why don't you all understand?
They should be joining forces with me to resist Xue Jian now, not fighting amongst themselves!

Bai Bufan nodded emphatically upon hearing this: "That's right, that's exactly it."

Bai Bufan was also a little resentful, but unlike Lin Li, his complaints were mainly directed at Xue Jian.

He even resorted to the Thirty-Six Stratagems to deal with students. Xue Jian truly has no professional ethics whatsoever; he's finished.

What's most outrageous is that if you're going to use the Thirty-Six Stratagems, fine, but why don't you try using the real test of willpower and other noble virtues, Xue Jian?
What skills do you have that only involve using the most insidious and despicable methods of sowing discord?
After hearing Lin Li's explanation, the class fell silent for a while.

then.

Shi Siyuan: "What are you babbling about? Lin Libai and Bufan have each recorded it twice already."

Lin Li and Bai Bufan: "..."

Hey, you guys are just so stubborn, aren't you?

Qin Zeyu: "They say things shouldn't happen more than three times. They've already been punished twice. Why don't we just kill them? That way they won't be punished a third time."

Yang Bangjie: "I've always felt that Lin Li and Bai Bufan are devils in disguise. How about this, since it's Christmas Eve today, let's tie them to a cross and burn them."

If they reveal their true forms, it proves they are demons, and we can rest assured. If they don't reveal their true forms, it proves they are highly skilled and powerful demons, and we can also rest assured.

Wang Ze: "Sure, but could I borrow the body after it's been burned?"

Yang Bangjie: "It's fine, but just a heads-up, Wang Ze, be careful not to burn yourself."

Yang Bangjie had heard of someone who, because the heating element broke, had the sudden idea to heat a cup in the microwave. However, he forgot that microwaves heat from the inside out. After heating for thirty seconds, the outside felt just the right temperature. But when he actually put it on, he found that the lubricant inside was like lava, and it burned his penis.

The young man's juice turned into boiled water.

Having learned from past mistakes, Yang Bangjie did not want Wang Ze to be harmed because of Lin Bai's corpse.

Listening to the conversation in the classroom, Lin Li and Bai Bufan's lips twitched slightly.

Damn, this is the group that was born in Class 4.

Just an hour and a half ago, they were full of admiration and praise for Lin Bai, but now, when their attitudes change, they are the ones who are most fiercely criticizing him.

Especially Wang Ze and Qin Zeyu, who even had lines and scenes during breaks, but now justice is cutting them off faster than anyone else.

Perhaps this is just human nature.

How despicable!

Fortunately, they weren't the only despicable ones; Bai Bufan was too. Considering that the situation was now beyond his control, he chose to slide to his knees.

Bai Bufan looked obsequiously at Zhou Baowei and Qin Zeyu, who were closest to him: "This plan did encounter a small mishap. I didn't expect Old Jian to have undergone such a super evolution."

Xue Jian's response this time really shocked Bai Bufan; he had indeed underestimated him.

Well, everyone's growth process is different.

Some people's growth is like a small Charmander, then a Charizard, then a Charizard, then a Mega Charizard; each growth is a qualitative change.

For some, growth is simply a process of growing from a small Snorlax to a Snorlax to a Dynamax Snorlax, with each growth representing only growth.

The most suitable example of the latter is Zhou Baowei, while Bai Bufan originally thought that Xue Jian was the same.

But clearly, the judgment was wrong; Xue Jian's growth was the former.

The Xue Jian he is now is completely different from the one Bai Bufan first met. Before, he was just a puppet to be manipulated, but now he is a beautiful but thorny rose.

It can be admired from afar or touched, but if you're not careful when touching it, it can prick your hand.

Bai Bufan continued to fawn over him:

"In short, this was indeed a mistake, and Lin Li bears the main responsibility for it. Of course, I also had some minor issues. I know I was wrong, and I apologize. I hope everyone can forgive us, at least forgive me. Bao Wei, I'll exchange my Peace Apple for a Peace Scroll with you. What do you say?"

Faced with the temptation of the apple, Zhou Baowei shook his head with a cold smile.

He's foolish, but not extremely foolish. He shouldn't eat this apple; it would put him in danger.

Besides, after Bai Bufan died, he could eat more by stealing Bai's offerings. Zhou Baowei already knew which was more important.

Qin Zeyu, however, appeared gentle: "It's not impossible. You want forgiveness, right?"

Bai Bufan's eyes lit up: "That's right, that's right! Zeyu, I've thought you were a good kid since you were little! I've disliked Lin Li for a long time! I'm standing with you now to slander Lin Li!"

Qin Zeyu's eyes lit up even more: "God will definitely forgive you, and we were planning to send you to see God anyway. You will definitely get it then. That's great, Bufan. We're going in the same direction!"

Bai Bufan: "..."

I'll run after you.

Just as Bai Bufan was awkwardly preparing to return to Lin Li's side, Lin Li resolutely took Zhou Baowei's test paper and walked up to the podium. Lin Li tapped the blackboard with his finger: "Quiet down, everyone."

Shi Siyuan: "Lin Li is right. It's evening self-study now. The students in the back row will be reminded once, and Lin Li and Bai Bufan, that's the third time each of you has been reminded. Remember to go to the office and explain the situation to the teacher tomorrow night."

Lin Li: "..."

Bai Bufan: ...I didn't say anything just now.

But he only dared to complain in his heart, because Bai Bufan had a premonition that he would be recorded for the fourth time after he opened his mouth.

"Leave the exam papers to me!" Ignoring Shi Siyuan, Lin Li waved the exam papers in his hand on the podium: "Everyone, it's not impossible to finish this Christmas Eve exam paper!"

"Perhaps everyone still doesn't understand Old Jiantou's intention."

"Remember, peace is something we all pursue, and what we pursue is not just our own peace."

"We hope that everyone we know is safe and sound, and we are willing to lend a helping hand for the safety of others. When an acquaintance is in danger, would anyone choose to kick them when they are down?"

Byd, not daring to wait for the class's response, Lin Li quickly followed up with the following words:
"So, the profound meaning behind Old Jiantou's words lies here: peace depends not only on oneself, but also on each other—this peace scroll requires all of us to complete it together."

"As long as we each do our job and write different questions according to our own level, my class monitor and a few of the good students are responsible for answering the last few multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank questions, those who are slightly worse can write the basic questions, and even Wang Ze, who is so good that he drools when he is cured, can always write the first multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank questions."

With this allocation, completing the test paper in ten minutes or so is no problem at all, and everyone can finish safely.

Bai Bufan suddenly realized and chimed in, "I see!"

"Right? Actually, this test paper is quite easy. I just glanced at it, and the answers for the multiple-choice questions should be ACB—"

Before Lin Li could continue giving his answer, Xue Jian appeared from the doorway with a dark face: "Lin Li, get out of here."

There was no "I have something to do, but I'll be back soon" at all. Xue Jian had just left the house when he hid outside the door to listen to what was happening in the classroom.

He wants to see rivers of blood!

At first, it went along with his wishes. When they heard Lin Bai being attacked by other students in the class, if students from other classes were also in the corridor, they would be surprised to realize that even an iron tree can bloom—the teacher Xue, who was usually very serious and unsmiling, could actually smile so kindly and gently.

Worth it.

It was worth going back and finding the exam papers from Ping'an District, and then printing them out.

However, Xue Jian underestimated the solution Lin Lineng could come up with. He never expected that Lin Lineng would immediately start by brainstorming and emphasizing that unity is strength.

He tried to complete his training by piecing together the test papers.

This is putting the cart before the horse, so we had to stop watching the play and intervene.

"Okay~"

Upon seeing Xue Jian, Lin Li shrank back, gave a fawning smile, and then slunk off the stage.

However, given the coincidence of Xue Jian's appearance, Lin Li naturally realized that he hadn't left at all.

Damn, that's really bad.

Xue Jian, the evil old man.

"Alright, alright, you're not supposed to finish this test tonight, consider it your weekend homework. You don't have to do questions 7 and 14 if you don't know how to do them, we haven't taught them yet."

"Your test papers will be given to you during math class tomorrow."

At this point, Xue Jian recalled Lin Li's earlier remarks, gave him a disapproving glance, then looked at Wang Ze, tapped his desk, and emphasized:

“You all need to complete this independently. Whether you copied it or not, our teacher can tell at a glance. Don’t be lazy for no reason. Instead of copying, you might as well just say you didn’t write it.”

Wang Ze, who had been laughing, didn't expect that he would be affected, and immediately lowered his head, saying, "I know."

That's what I said, but if you actually say I didn't write it, you'll be unhappy...

Moreover, it's not something you can tell at a glance.

Wang Ze knew perfectly well why Xue Jian was suddenly targeting him; it was because he had encountered a small accident this week.

In Wang Ze's opinion, Zhang Haoyang really should practice his handwriting.

I was in such a rush when copying my physics homework this week that I copied "B" instead of "13" for a question.

But actually, this is okay, because I can still argue that I wrote 13, it's just that they were put together. But the problem is that in that assignment, there was also a question that tested the phenomenon of rice layering in water. It was a basic question, and the answers were "ρ_rice > ρ_water", "ρ_rice = ρ_water", and "ρ_rice < ρ_water".

Zhang Haoyang, that scoundrel! Why did you write ρ so high? After misreading it, you copied it as "shit > urine", "shit = urine", and "shit < urine".

Seeing this answer made the physics teacher both angry and amused, so he reported it to Xue Jian.

Ugh.

Didn't Xue Jian write that down in his little notebook?

Let's see if Zhang Haoyang is to blame.

As for the others besides Wang Ze, they were not surprised to hear that the test paper did not need to be completed today, and their reactions were lukewarm. Moreover, they still looked at the test paper with a headache.

It's not surprising because everyone knows that Xue Jian was most likely joking. It's just that it's rare to see Lin Li and Bai Bufan get their comeuppance, so most people couldn't help but kick them while they're down.

Seeing the results of this "social experiment," Xue Jian, sitting in the corridor, was actually a little disappointed: he felt that the quality of children nowadays was indeed not very good, and wondered if the remaining small group of people were just missing hands.

Is there really anyone who could see Lin Li and Bai Bufan fall into the well and refrain from throwing stones down?

You've been through drug rehabilitation, right?
As for why I still feel a bit of a headache looking at this test paper, it's because the so-called weekend homework was assigned early, which is not good news.

It may seem like you can finish early, but as anyone who has been to school knows, many teachers will still assign homework as usual on Fridays, and then, after the students remind them, they will say something like, "Oh, okay, just do a little less, just do XXX, and do the rest next week," or "I remember, but one test paper isn't enough for the weekend, and these were supposed to be assigned anyway."

Assigning weekend homework in advance does not mean that this is the only homework for the weekend.

Seeing that everyone in the classroom was not very interested, and that school was about to end, so they were not really in the mood to study, Xue Jian smiled and briefly left the door. When he returned ten seconds later, he was carrying a box in both hands.

The packaging and the opening both indicate that this time, it contains real apples.

"Starting with the first group, everyone comes up and takes an apple. There's no need to pick and choose; they're all good."

With a loud thud, Xue Jian placed the heavy box on the podium and waved to the first group of students, signaling them to come up.

"Oh oh oh-"

"Teacher is the best!"

"A son should be like Lao Jiantou!"

"I want to be your student again in my next life!"

"Alright, alright, keep quiet." Since other classes were still studying, Xue Jian reached out and pressed the noise down.

Lin Li and Bai Bufan exchanged a glance and breathed a sigh of relief.

Xue Jian still knows how to handle people.

Have a peaceful Christmas Eve!

……

Three minutes later.

Lin Li and Bai Bufan looked at the apples they had received in advance.

Then I looked at the apples in the hands of the other students in the class.

"Teacher, why do our apples seem to have shrunk a bit?" The two raised their hands, somewhat unwilling and incredulous.

Xue Jian: "Oh, these two have been sitting in your office for a week. They weren't just bought like everyone else's. You two should eat them soon, or you might die from eating them too late."

Lin Li and Bai Bufan: "☉☉".

My smile isn't a sign of relief; it's just because I'm completely out of options.
