Study Monster Cultivation System

Chapter 118 - 117 This is Potassium Permanganate (thanks to the humble alliance leader)

Right now, the group chat is wildly tagging Li Zheng, half in adoration, and the other half curious about what sort of divine place Lake Ying Middle School is and what kind of "Martial Arts Evil Skill" they practice.

This was a tough one for Li Zheng to answer.

He couldn’t exactly say, "I’m this fat because of all the test papers from Ren Da Fu’s Old Demon Sun, could he?

As Li Zheng lurked and spied in a series of group chats, he reassessed the group’s strength.

In the top ten, four were members of the group, and there were more than ten from provincial first tier, second tier, and third tier—too many to count.

It was not an exaggeration to say that the average group member was from the second provincial tier.

Not only that, but the group also maintained a healthy atmosphere and had sassy memes.

A group like this was worth mingling in, as it could prove useful for other competitions in the future.

Li Zheng, uncharacteristically, decided to show his face and uploaded a photo of a black crystalline substance.

Potassium Permanganate, symbolizing "High Meng Acid Fresh".

[Li Zheng: Newbie here, hello seniors.]

Immediately, a bunch of ruthenium structure diagrams followed.

[Rank 1 Antimony of the Group: Big shot, big shot, you’re the real big shot.]

[Cycloalkane: Entering the group with original memes, that’s a real big shot.]

[HAuCl4: This one’s a real big shot, I automatically concede one rank in the group.]

...

After simple greetings, a series of questions came pouring in.

[Cycloalkane: Big shot, is Lake Ying Middle School located in Lake Ying Park?]

[Li Zheng: It’s nearby… we are a school, not a park.]

[HAuCl4: May I ask boldly, which top-tier chemistry teacher is at your school?]

[Li Zheng: Um... well... we indeed have quite a few teachers.]

[Rank 133 Cesium of the Group: So big shot, that Lin Yu Jing who ranked seventh, what’s so special about her? Is she really a girl?]

[Li Zheng: Yes, she sits right in front of me to the right.]

[Rank 133 Cesium of the Group: Wow!]

[Rank 1 Antimony of the Group: Big shot, can you snap a photo?]

[Aromatic Ring: Photo, photo please]

[Rank 133 Cesium of the Group: Exclusive red packet (Li Zheng)]

Li Zheng was startled.

Really, guys?

He just remembered that the winner’s list indicated genders.

From the perspective of gender, the award situation was probably like this:

Male, male, male, male, male, male, female, male, female, male, male, male, male, male, male, male… male, male, male, male, male, male, male, male, male, male.

Among the top 40 names, only Lin Yu Jing and Wu Shu were girls.

Thus, when one of them appeared, it was bound to be a vigorous group spectacle.

Li Zheng found this amusing.

Hehe~

I know them all.

Some perish in drought, others in flood.

Annoying, isn’t it?

But actually, Li Zheng had his concerns too.

From this gender ratio, the upcoming provincial team training would be like a monk’s camp.

The days would likely be tight and hard to relax.

Yet even though there were few girls in the Chemistry Competitions, it was still a bit better compared to the Informatics Competition.

There, it seemed like a girl appeared every 100 male participants.

This ratio was even lower than the Water Margin’s 108 heroes by several times.

Because of this, the Informatics Competition had even set a rule ? every provincial team must have at least one girl.

Therefore, once a girl got into the Informatics provincial team, it was like entering a programmer’s paradise, living a life akin to Cleopatra.

At the moment, as Li Zheng watched the posts in the group, knowing the brothers were desperately curious, sharing Lin Yu Jing’s photo was out of the question.

Drown you in drought, drown me in flood, no error there.

[Li Zheng: Forget it, Lin Yu Jing doesn’t like chemistry, even if she’s called by the provincial team, she won’t go. Let’s encourage each other, brothers.]

Immediately, the group echoed with wails.

Just then, another grandma chimed in.

[?: Lin Yu Jing really not coming?]

At that moment, the atmosphere in the group suddenly heated up.

[Rank 1 Antimony of the Group: All Hail the Queen of Physics!]

[HAuCl4: All Hail the Queen of Physics!]

[Cycloalkane: All Hail the Queen of Physics!]

...

This was a series of ten or so messages, neat and uniform, like some cultic welcoming ceremony.

Combining this infinite symbol along with everyone’s righteous fawning.

It must be big sister Wu Shu.

Just as Li Zheng was about to follow up with a message, another twist occurred in the group.

[Zhuo: You think I don’t check the group during class?]

[Fang Huan was muted by the group admin for 1 hour]

[The 133rd Cesium member was muted by the group admin for 1 hour]

[Inorganic’s Yttrium was muted by the group admin for 1 hour]

...

Li Zheng had just remembered, the group rules explicitly forbade saying, "All Hail the Queen of Physics."

So that’s where the gag was.

Ou Xingzhuo, too, was quick with his hands, knocking out a dozen members in an instant.

[Zhuo: Who else?]

[Cobalt amino acid chelate: Heh, am I no good either?]

Li Zheng glared.

There it was!

Cobalt amino acid chelate!

Cobalt God, Shi Yang!

[Zhuo: You can try.]

[Cobalt amino acid chelate: All Hail the Queen of Physics!]

[Cobalt amino acid chelate: Come at me, comrades, do you want to be cowards for life, or sycophants for a second?]

[Cobalt amino acid chelate: Little JJ Xing Zhuo. I said it, not running!]

[Cobalt amino acid chelate was muted by the group admin for 10 hours]

Cobalt God really was hardcore.

But his last words lasted only three seconds before they were ruthlessly retracted.

Especially that remark about ’Little JJ,’ which was almost instantly retracted.

Even the previous dozen "All hail" messages were completely removed.

Under this swift and violent purge.

The group fell silent.

It was as if nothing had happened.

[Zhuo: So, Lin Yujing really isn’t coming?]

Li Zheng shivered.

[Li Zheng: Yeah, I’m the last hope of The Entire Ying Lake.]

[?: Then you better get experimenting, training alone won’t cut it; even those ranked second in theory get eliminated.]

[Li Zheng: Copy that... Also, I have something to say.]

[?: ?]

[Li Zheng: All Hail the Queen of Physics!]

[Li Zheng was muted by the group admin for 1 hour]

[Zhuo: Why study that of all things.]

[?: Let’s focus on class, no more fussing.]

Just as Li Zheng was about to turn off his phone.

[All Hail the Queen of Physics!]

[Little JJ Xing Zhuo, saying it and then running!]

Next, there was another bloodbath and a storm of retractions.

This group was really too much fun.

Especially Cobalt God, more amusing than one could imagine.

He also needed to integrate quickly into the environment, completing his transformation into a fool.

...

Exercise break.

To the upbeat music of the school radio, Li Zheng walked to the playground following the crowd and stood on his designated spot.

Then, as usual, he looked afar toward the platform where the exercise leader with a crew cut and glasses was.

The man with glasses had also already looked towards him.

Their gazes met.

The battle for today’s exercise king was imminent.

As the dynamic rhythm of "The Ninth Set of Radio Exercises" began, Li Zheng and the glasses man both started marching in place, ready to compete.

Just as they were about to compare who could perform the first motion more accurately.

The music abruptly stopped.

Then, a group of teachers appeared from somewhere, with three or four PE teachers accompanied by Liu Xiaodong and Sun Xiubin walking toward the platform.

Liu Xiaodong took the microphone, "hello" twice, then strode onto the platform, and after a brief adjustment, broke into a goofy smile.

"Sorry, students, I have sudden good news."

"Today’s exercise period will be switched to a commendation assembly."

Liu Xiaodong’s voice was naturally loud, and in his excitement, even the speakers almost went into overdrive.

But he still beamed from ear to ear, spittle flying as he held the microphone.

"Just now, the school received news!"

"32nd National Chemistry Olympiad Preliminary."

"Our school’s senior year two class four students Li Zheng and Lin Yujing."

"With the city’s second and seventh place respectively, both won first-class prizes at the provincial level!"
