Study Monster Cultivation System

Chapter 101 - 101 is getting more and more annoying

"Li Zheng."

"Chinese: 115, ranked 48 in the year, 5 in the class."

"Math: 131, ranked 5 in the year, 2 in the class."

"English: 148, ranked 1 in the year, 1 in the class."

"Physics: 96, ranked 2 in the year, 2 in the class."

"Chemistry: 100, ranked 1 in the year, 1 in the class."

"Biology: 89, ranked 9 in the year, 2 in the class."

"Total score: 679, ranked 2 in the year, 2 in the class."

When Tang Zhifei announced the scores, the class erupted in surprise three times in succession.

The first time was when they heard English 148, first in the year.

The second was for Chemistry 100, first in the year.

The third was the total score of 679, second in the year.

Before Tang Zhifei even finished, the classmates went wild with discussion.

"English 148? That’s crazy, right?"

"Chemistry 100 is the real craziness."

"And a total score of 679 isn’t crazy?"

"I told you Brother Li was cheating!"

Jiang Qinghua glared at Li Zheng, her eyes gradually reddening.

How on earth did you do this...

Studying, competitions, exams, basketball, sweet-talking girls.

All without a single hitch.

And you even managed to bring out a Demon Follower.

Received hundreds of love letters.

Became the top dog at school.

What’s your next step? To become the principal?

The classmates’ debates continued unabated.

"Hold on, Li Zheng got first in the year in two subjects..."

"Which means..."

Those who caught on started staring at Lin Yu Jing.

"Uh-oh..." Lin Yu Jing had already been gripping the corners of the desk with both hands, her gaze fierce.

She had never been this menacing before.

She turned stiffly to glare at Li Zheng.

Realizing a terrifying fact.

Li Zheng had been practicing for the midterm exams all along while seemingly focusing on the chemistry competition.

Seemingly honest on the surface, but all sly tricks inside, dipping into every single subject!

Big pig trotter!

Huge stupefied pig trotter!

Tang Zhifei waited for the discussions to calm down a bit before continuing.

"Li Zheng’s improvement has been extremely, extremely significant, especially in English and Chemistry."

"So, Li Zheng, you must share your study methods."

Li Zheng nodded resentfully, with an unspeakable stench.

Congratulations, Tang Zhifei, I busted my ass to help you, and you turn around and start screwing me over.

Women are fickle.

Suddenly, Tang Zhifei narrowed her eyes and said, "Also, all your scores are so outstanding, are you looking down on our Chinese subject, or what?"

"Pfft," Li Zheng turned his head resentfully, it’s not like you teach it so well that I even bothered to get a tutor for it.

Seeing him like this, Tang Zhifei enjoyed the moment before dismissing it with a wave of her hand, "Ah, can’t blame you, anyway. You could ask Liu Yuexuan for some Chinese tutoring after class."

Liu Yuexuan, biting her lip, timidly turned back, "And maybe Li Zheng could teach me Chemistry and Physics."

"Deal," responded Li Zheng from a distance.

For some reason.

It felt like they weren’t talking about the same thing.

After emotions settled, Tang Zhifei began announcing the least suspenseful part.

"Alright, now it’s time for our usual first in the year, Lin Yu Jing."

"Chinese: 143, ranked 1 in the year, 1 in the class."

"Math: 149, ranked 1 in the year, 1 in the class."

"English: 145, ranked 2 in the year, 2 in the class."

"Physics: 98, ranked 1 in the year, 1 in the class."

"Chemistry: 100, ranked 1 in the year, 1 in the class."

"Biology: 92, ranked 2 in the year, 1 in the class."

"Total score: 727, ranked 1 in the year, 1 in the class."

During the announcement, the class again burst into murmurs several times.

The first was for English, second in the year, second in the class.

The second was Chemistry, tied for first.

The third was Biology, second in the year.

It was the first time she hadn’t scored all ones.

Which means.

In this school.

The status of Lin Yu Jing, the Yuanshi Tianzun.

Was shaking.

She had been surpassed by Li Zheng in English.

Tied by Li Zheng in Chemistry.

Most likely caught up by some idiot from a key class in Biology.

Even though the final result was still first in the year.

The gap between her and Li Zheng, now second, had narrowed to within fifty points.

Before, she had always led by at least eighty points over the second in the year.

As for Li Zheng, like a hungry wolf, he had surged over a hundred points.

This man.

Had truly transformed into a True Demon!

Lin Yu Jing, leaning over the desk, also trembled in her speech.

"Um—u—u—o—o—"

"Yu Jing, don’t be discouraged," Tang Zhifei hurriedly advised. "On the basis of the monthly test, you’ve even made some progress, which is already quite remarkable. You might have had a little hiccup in Biology, don’t worry about it, and as for English... it’s not that you didn’t try hard..."

"Er." Lin Yu Jing struggled to raise her hand, then thumped her chest and exhaled, stirring up her fierceness once again.

Seeing this, Tang Zhifei could only respond with a soft smile.

Who would have thought, Li Zheng really posed a threat to her position.

Even Lin Yu Jing now had the drive to work hard, which was a good thing.

At this, Tang Zhifei announced, "Let’s also give special praise to another student, Liu Xin."

"Huh?" Liu Xin was taken aback.

Looking at the report card with a smile, Tang Zhifei said, "Liu Xin’s improvement is even larger than Li Zheng’s."

"Chinese: 90 points, ranked 164th."

"Mathematics: 77 points, ranked 180th."

"English: 59 points, ranked 253rd."

"Physics: 51 points, ranked 199th."

"Chemistry: 26 points, ranked 260th."

"Biology: 61 points, ranked 138th."

"Total: 364 points, ranking 238th in the year, 43rd in the class."

Although these scores still stung the ears,

Liu Xin, after all, was a junior high-level student.

This time, he managed to pass two subjects.

He even unprecedentedly surpassed more than 20 people.

It reversed the fate of being the perennial bottom of the class.

This was a miracle no less than what Li Zheng achieved.

Liu Xin himself was stunned, "Am I really that awesome?!"

"Mind your language," Tang Zhifei frowned and said.

Liu Xin quickly covered his mouth, "I will never say that word again in my life."

With a helpless smile, Tang Zhifei said, "Actually, most of your scores are already close to the average level. To improve so much in such a short time shows you have great potential. As long as you keep up in Chemistry and English, breaking into the top 200 in the next exam shouldn’t be a problem."

"Definitely!" Liu Xin nodded excitedly. "What about the team competition?"

"I was just getting to that," Tang Zhifei said, opening his notebook. "According to the set scoring results—"

"First place goes to the team of Li Zheng and Zhang Xiaoke, with 1274 points."

"Second place is the team of Lin Yu Jing and Liu Xin, with 1091 points."

"Third place is Jiang Qinghua and Zhang Yue’s team."

"Fourth place..."

As the announcement continued, Li Zheng unabashedly gazed towards Lin Yu Jing’s seat, his smile increasingly uncontrollable.

In this demonic laughter, Lin Yu Jing was already shivering, quietly packing up her desk.

Zhang Xiaoke, watching Li Zheng, felt an inexplicable sense of reluctance.

Lin Yu Jing had a solo desk by the window.

In the future, she feared she would no longer be able to study at the same desk as her Master.

Even though she had no idea why she should look forward to it,

there was just a sense of desolation.

After the announcement, amid the sighs and excitement of the classmates, Tang Zhifei raised his hand and said, "The rewards take effect immediately. According to the rankings, Li Zheng, you choose a seat first."

"Hmph." Li Zheng snorted lightly, raised his hand and pointed at his own desk, "I’ll stay here."

The class erupted in surprise.

Lin Yu Jing’s hand, packing her bag, halted, and she gasped loudly.

"Not moving?" Tang Zhifei asked. "Are you sure, Li Zheng?"

"Sure," Li Zheng nodded. "Victory without honor; next time."

This ’victory without honor’ was loaded with implications.

Not only was his personal score still about 50 points behind Lin Yu Jing,

but more importantly, Zhang Xiaoke’s group score was outright cheated.

Presumably, when Ximen Chui Xue and Ye Gucheng dueled at the Summit of the Forbidden, they would never resort to such means.

After her initial surprise, Lin Yu Jing suddenly lowered her head, snuffling and stretching out her hands to pull her long hair down on both sides, completely covering her face.

The kitty as well,

the seat too,

It’s becoming more and more...

More and more...

Detestable.

The following is the author’s mini-theatre.

Part three.

"Staying At Home During the Epidemic"

[My Wife’s Day]

Wake up, scold me, eat, scold me, scold the kid, clean house.

Scold me, eat, help with homework, scold the kid and incidentally scold me again, eat, sleep!

[My Day]

Get scolded, wake up, get scolded, eat, look at the phone.

Get scolded for no reason, eat, get scolded again inexplicably, write, get scolded, get scolded, sleep!!!

...

This... this is just a joke from a social media post; it has nothing to do with me personally.

I just hope everyone can cheer up, find joy in suffering, and get through this together.

Also, since this is the author’s mini-theatre, there must be some real content.

Below, please see the author’s real day—"True·Staying At Home During the Epidemic"

[My Wife’s Day]

Wake up, cook, kneel and call the handsome guy to get up, eat, get lectured, wipe the keyboard.

Sneak peeks at the handsome guy writing, cook, serve food, get lectured, wipe the keyboard, sneak peeks at the handsome guy writing, warm the bed early, sleep.

[My Day]

Get asked to wake up, eat, lecture the wife, write.

Get spied on, eat, lecture the wife again, write more, get spied on again, test the bed temperature until satisfied, sleep.

Don’t be envious, this is just the daily routine of an ordinary family head.
