Study Monster Cultivation System-Chapter 360 - 359 random killings
Mo Nian and Taylor unfolded their kung fu moves, while Li Zheng and Lin Yujing suddenly entered an awkward state.
Just now, because of the sudden appearance of the "formula boy," they were quite bold in the heat of the moment.
But now, alone together, after a separation of three months, they suddenly faced their very first time sitting together as desk mates...
It was impossible not to feel agitated.
Both of them turned their backs, silently arranging their stationery.
"So annoying..." Lin Yujing muttered, "I could’ve just explained the situation and asked him to leave... Now the whole class is watching us..."
"Hmph, that was exactly my intent," Li Zheng looked around and instantly repelled those sneaking glances, "Sovereignty, Jingjing, sovereignty needs to be proclaimed loudly."
"Enough, enough... How am I supposed to face the class now..." Lin Yujing nervously reached out and turned Li Zheng’s head, "Are you an animal... patrolling your territory... it’s just short of marking it with pee."
In that twist of her head, their eyes met.
Bathed in a ray of morning light on Li Zheng’s face, the mood was just right.
The unrivaled Li Zheng gently closed his eyes.
"I can’t..." Lin Yujing struggled momentarily before pushing Li Zheng away and turning her back, "Wait until class is over..."
"Sure thing," Li Zheng chuckled, "I know a place where there’s absolutely no one."
"Enough... stop talking..." Lin Yujing blushed, looking down at her skirt, "If you keep this up, I won’t be nice to you anymore..."
"So... can we hold hands during class?"
After some more struggle, Lin Yujing finally lowered her head, her voice tinged with embarrassment, "…under the desk."
"Hehe."
They hadn’t realized.
The classroom was actually very quiet.
It wasn’t so much that the students were well-behaved as everyone had intentionally quieted down just to eavesdrop on their conversation.
The eagerly anticipated biophysics class had, for some reason, lost its appeal.
Not just for the boys, but even the girls were disinterested.
How could this be...
Suddenly, a handsome guy from another class appeared.
And just like that, everything changed.
The boys had it even worse.
Jingjing.
The shining star of the School of Physics.
The heir apparent to the Queen, seizing the crown.
How could she just be snatched away by someone from another school!
It would have been one thing if he had come on his own initiative.
But then he brought along some foreign exchange student as muscle.
With that servant standing there, who the hell would dare to speak out!
Of course, they dared to mutter under their breaths to each other.
"Eight brothers tried to approach... Fifteen brothers tried to friend her... Except for getting ignored, we got nothing, why... why!"
"I’ve seen through it, A-Tao... women just care about looks."
"But... Lin Yujing talked to that Indian guy too, why is it just us brothers from our school she’s ignoring?"
"Stop it, A-Tao, I can’t stand the smell in this classroom... let’s cut class together."
"Hold on, the teacher is going to take attendance soon, you never know, the teacher might ask where that jerk is from."
"Good point, even if the teacher doesn’t ask, Chen Meng will remind her about the presence of someone from another department..."
"Exactly, looking at those few people, they don’t seem to be good at studying. They won’t understand our physics class, and they’ll probably leave after the first half."
"Right, what’s the big deal if they don’t leave? That handsome jerk from the other department can’t possibly register for all our classes, right?"
"Yes, just get through this class and it’ll be fine."
"I can’t see it, I can’t see it!"
Everyone has their own way of claiming victory.
It’s just that Mo Nian’s predicament was too extreme.
No amount of Taylor’s flourish could compete with the flirtatious teasing behind him.
Mo Nian thought Li Zheng was a brute.
Who would have guessed he was such a master.
In a matter of minutes, they were holding hands.
The continuous vulgar whispers, the soft moans emanating from their interlocked fingers.
All of this tormented Mo Nian.
You said you would protect me, what are you doing, Li Zheng...
But in Mo Nian’s eyes, good things were happening to Li Zheng, and it didn’t seem right to interrupt.
For the sake of Li Zheng’s peaceful years.
Mo Nian had no choice but to persist and carry on.
The stitches by that old expert need to hold strong.
After what felt like an eternity of minutes, the bell finally rang, and a young male lecturer with abundant hair and beard stepped into the classroom at its beckoning.
After standing up to greet him, the lecturer introduced himself in an easy-going manner.
"Hello, students of the School of Physics."
"First off, I want to mention, although this is a specialized elective course for the School of Physics, I am actually from the School of Biological Sciences, working as a post-doc and researcher in the field of bioinformatics."
The students involuntarily exclaimed in awe, "Wow."
No wonder he was so young and full of vitality, but that hair was really plentiful and intimidating, not quite fitting the image of a post-doc.
The lecturer seemed to notice the students’ surprised looks and just smiled, scratching his hair.
"Biological studies are a lot of fun; don’t listen to those who talk nonsense about bio-chem-environment-materials not being viable. Since you were able to get into Ji University, believe in yourself; you can achieve anything, the whole world is waiting for you to conquer it."
"Indeed, sometimes we all need some form of mental victory."
Hearing this, the students returned a faint smile.
That’s exactly right, Teacher. We’ve already been using the law of mental victory.
The lecturer continued to unfold his laptop, started the projector, and displayed his name on the screen, then smiled and stretched out his arms.
"Cui Shenzhi, you can just call me Old Cui."
"This course is mainly about developing a preliminary interdisciplinary perspective, with no overly rigid teaching requirements."
"So when I teach, I’ll also try to minimize the output of overly hardcore knowledge and focus on inspiring thought. You don’t need to worry about exams either. I just came out of being a student myself, and before the finals, I will outline the key points clearly. With your level, three to four hours of review should suffice."
PIAPIAPIAPIA!!!
Fierce applause erupted.
Almost wishing to stand up and clap.
Only Li Zheng frowned, very dissatisfied.
But Cui Shenzhi seemed quite frightened by this, hurriedly gesturing with his hands to quiet the applause.
"Don’t go spreading this around, or the academic affairs office will come looking for me."
"The reason I’m doing this is to make sure you all feel no pressure in class and can immerse yourselves in the world of knowledge as much as possible. I will do my best to open up the wonderful world of biology from a physics standpoint."
"First, I need to get a rough idea of the class’s average level, both in physics and biology, so I can decide on my phrasing and structure."
"Would those who have participated in physics competitions please raise your hand."
Shua shua shua!
More than two-thirds raised their hands almost in unison.
After all, this is Ji University’s School of Physics, where national talents abound, being a provincial winner is nothing special, and not many came in through normal admission.
While raising his hand, Chen Meng, who sat in the front row formula-boy, subconsciously looked back.
He collided directly with Li Zheng’s straightforward gaze.
Their eyes met, and they both knew exactly what the other was watching for.
Chen Meng, "I might not be as handsome as you, but can I not outstudy you?"
Li Zheng, "Messy killing, that’s why I’m here, for the messy killing."
Both of them snorted and withdrew their gazes.
Chen Meng unconsciously began to smile.
He’s just riffraff from another faculty.
Especially that exchange student, who probably hasn’t even heard of a physics competition.
It’s time for Jingjing to see through that stallion-like exterior and see what an interesting soul looks like!
On the platform, Cui Shenzhi continued, "Those who have won at the provincial level or above, please raise your hands again."
Immediately, some hands were lowered, but more than half were still raised.
"National winners, please keep your hands up," Cui Shenzhi said again.
Shua shua shua.
This time, many people successively lowered their hands, with less than a third remaining steadfast.
The moment had come, and Chen Meng glanced back again.
Once again, he locked gazes with Li Zheng.
Both showed astonishment that said, "This kid’s something."
Amidst their mutual gaze, Cui Shenzhi spoke again, "Those who are at the level of the national team’s top 50, please continue holding up your hands."
This time, only fewer than 10 were left.
Yet Chen Meng and Li Zheng remained resolute.
However, Chen Meng was beginning to panic.
I can’t... I can’t hold on anymore...
That’s enough, Teacher Cui... Can we call it a draw, please...
Of course, that was not going to happen. Seeing this ratio, Cui Shenzhi got even more excited.
"Such experts!" Cui Shenzhi raised his arm decisively, "Top 10!"
Instantly.
Everyone except for Li Zheng and Lin Yujing was forced to lower their hands.
Chen Meng shook in frustration and resentfully withdrew.
What the fuck!!!
Can’t be more handsome, can’t flirt better, and now I can’t outstudy you either!
Why do such people exist in the world!!!
"Wow! We have such prodigies in our class?" Cui Shenzhi couldn’t help but lift his glasses and look towards Li Zheng and Lin Yujing, "Could you please announce your ranks in the national competition?"
"One," Li Zheng nodded indifferently.
"Two," Lin Yujing nodded shyly.
This time.
The whole class finally exclaimed, "Wow!"
Some people finally caught on and shouted out.
"Is that God Zheng?"
"Fucked."
"Can’t afford to provoke, can’t afford to provoke..."
"That explains it..."
Cui Shenzhi grew even more excited and asked forcefully, "IPHO ranks?"
This time, both shook their heads simultaneously.
"Didn’t go???" Cui Shenzhi was shocked.
They both nodded.
"Visa issues?" Cui Shenzhi asked.
"No, there were other matters we couldn’t leave," Li Zheng said very modestly, nodding from a distance.
Lin Yujing also giggled.
Unable to leave??? Pregnant???
Although that’s what Cui Shenzhi thought, he ultimately held back and swallowed hard before asking, "What’s more important than IPHO?"
"Building rockets." Lin Yujing said with a smile as she gestured with her hands.
Li Zheng nodded seriously, "We have been working on the Yellow River-2 project for 8 months."
Another "Wow!" erupted.
This content is taken from fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm.
This time it was not only because of Yellow 2, as many people were familiar with it.
This time, it was simply because, when they gestured,
their fingers were interlocked.
Damn it.
This time, it was really damn it.
Chen Meng had completely collapsed onto the desk.
What am I supposed to compete with?
What can I possibly compete with?
I, Chen Meng, the lifelong embodiment of the pure love warrior.
I thought I had met the destined tsundere girl of my dreams...
Only to find out that she was already someone else’s wife.
Just kill me! Let me die!
This time, even Cui Shenzhi felt the indiscriminate damage, as he steadied his glasses with trembling hands and pressed down on his head from the back: "You two... might want to put your hands down first... Consider the feelings of other students and lecturers."
It was only then that Lin Yujing realized she had been holding Li Zheng’s hand all along.
Startled, she quickly withdrew her hand and pretended to sleep.
It’s over, it’s over, it’s over...
This time I’ve really been blatantly shown who’s in charge.
How did it become a habit, as we held hands, to be inseparable, and now I can’t let go...
Li Zheng, however, just smiled proudly and looked around imperiously.
Slash, kill indiscriminately.
I am indeed the king of the plains.
In the front row, Mo Nian also withstood the pain and turned his head back.
"How come you never mentioned this before?" Mo Nian gasped in surprise, "You didn’t say it during the class self-introduction either."
"Ah." Li Zheng casually raised his hand, "It’s just some minor achievements, nothing worth mentioning."
"Bro, you’re so freaking awesome." Yang Jun was nodding furiously, "Even more awesome than the most awesome person I could think of."
"Hey, your sister-in-law isn’t bad either." Li Zheng said with a smile as he patted Jingjing’s hair where she pretended to sleep.
"Get off, get off..."
Jingjing raised her hand, intending to brush Li Zheng away.
But she was no match for Li Zheng, who had been petting Wang Cai for over a year.
With this raise of her hand, they were interlocked once again.
What followed were struggles, resistance, and finally submission as both hands slipped under the desk into a hidden corner.
Mo Nian watched the whole process, then suddenly realized something was off and turned back desperately.
"Keep going, Jun... Don’t stop."
"Bro... how about I play you the Great Compassion Mantra... My new phone’s sound quality is really good."
Up front, Cui Shenzhi also took a while to calm down.
"So... what was I supposed to do next..."
"Oh right, let’s learn more about your level in Biology."
"Those who have participated in Biology competitions, please raise your hand."
Swish!
This time, only about ten people raised their hand.
Li Zheng was one of them.
That wasn’t surprising.
What was surprising was that Mo Nian also raised his hand.
Do they also have such competitions in the Native American reservations?
"Better than I imagined," Cui Shenzhi continued, "Please raise your hand if you reached the provincial level."
Swish!
Now only three were left.
"You again..." Cui Shenzhi almost stomped his feet out of annoyance, shouting a bit uncontrollably, "National team!"
Swish!
Two people, Li Zheng and Mo Nian, were left.
Are you freaking annoying or what!
Cui Shenzhi began to feel annoyed.
Of course, more astonishing was the presence of the man who seemed like a mythological hero upfront.
How could this honest-faced guy also be so good at studying?
"National training team?" Cui Shenzhi asked again.
Both men still held their hands up straight.
"IBHO gold medal?"
This time, Li Zheng finally let go.
But Mo Nian remained as steadfast as ever.
"This friend..." Cui Shenzhi asked, "Where are you from?"
"China, Lu Dong." Mo Nian nodded dully.
"Wow… that’s really… unexpected yet reasonable," Cui Shenzhi then asked, "Which edition of the IBHO did you participate in, and what was your ranking?"
"I don’t know which edition, it was the one during my ninth grade." Mo Nian said solemnly, "The official ranking was second place, but that year’s experiments were absurd... Forget it, it hurts a bit, let’s not talk about it."
The surrounding people inevitably cast admiring glances at Mo Nian.
That’s terrifying... not only is his military prowess outstanding... his academic dueling is fierce as well...
He’s not a hero; he’s JoJo.
Cui Shenzhi marveled and nodded his head, "Although biology competitions aren’t as popular, any international gold medal from a competition definitely demonstrates absolute competence. Great, this year our School of Physics recruited some excellent students."
"Teacher," a boy in the front row couldn’t stand it anymore and raised his hand, "Those three aren’t from the School of Physics."
"Oh? They came specifically to listen to my class?" Cui Shenzhi’s eyes widened, "Welcome, what an honor!"
Fuck… the boy painfully lowered his head.
Li Zheng merely chuckled.
I’ve said it how many times now—
Being good at studying means you can do whatever you want.
Cui Shenzhi then picked up the roster, glanced over it briefly, and looked up smiling, "Turns out they are three students from Yingpei, that’s good, very good, they have an interdisciplinary and cutting-edge perspective."
This statement was a double-edged compliment.
Li Zheng and Mo Nian had no choice but to accept it.
Following that, the lecture finally began.
Cui Shenzhi mixed biology, physics, and computer technology together, unfolding a whole new frontier of science for everyone.
When the class actually started, Li Zheng and Lin Yujing were very attentive. Despite holding hands under the desk, they didn’t miss a word, just occasionally exchanging glances to share their thoughts, subtly setting the mood.
When the first class ended, Li Zheng said with genuine sentiment, "Why bother going to movie theaters or amusement parks, from now on we can just have our dates here."
"Shh, shh, shh!" Lin Yujing waved her hands, "It’s good enough that you know that…"
"Alright then," Li Zheng raised his eyebrows, "Class is over, let’s go to that place I mentioned."
"It’s not far, is it?"
"Not far."
"Then... then just a quick one, okay?"
"Hey, I’ve been holding back for 5 months, why not do it a few more times?"
In front, Mo Nian shuddered.
Just as he was about to ask Yang Jun to help him escape, Jingjing’s shy voice drifted over again.
"No, no… this activity is too difficult, my lung capacity can’t keep up…"
Mo Nian felt completely undone.
Lung capacity?
What the fuck does lung capacity have to do with anything?!
Wait a minute…
Could it be that kind of play...
Even in my ultimate form, I’m very restrained…
Ah...
I can’t, I must not...
The line… the line…
Bang!!!
Collapse!!!
"Alright, just a quick one it is," Li Zheng chuckled, then stood up, pulling Jingjing to her feet.
He was confident that Jingjing would be begging for another round after just one.
"We don’t hold hands in the middle…" Jingjing withdrew her hand, nervously stood up, and looked around. Although she’d already been publicly claimed, she still appeared fearful of being discovered.
As she scanned the room,
a streak of red suddenly caught her eye.
Upon closer inspection,
it was Mo Nian’s shorts’ leg.
Bleeding.
"Ah..." Lin Yujing hurriedly grabbed Li Zheng’s arm, "He… he… he..."
"Hmm?" Li Zheng said blankly, "Mo Nian? He has indeed been... quite troubled in the past. I’ll explain to you slowly later."
"Past... troubles..." Lin Yujing watched the dripping blood.
Her expression suddenly froze.
This flow...
Could it be...
Aunt Flo??? The legendary trans individual?!
At that moment,
Mo Nian finally turned around as well.
Tears were swirling in his eyes.
"Zheng, you promised you’d protect me," Mo Nian said, sniffling and choking up.
"Now it’s a complete disaster. I’ve had a hemorrhage."
Li Zheng’s eyes bulged out, quadruple size.
"You actually... couldn’t restrain yourself during class..."
"Me?" Tears slid down Mo Nian’s face, "And you have the nerve to blame me??"
"Quick, quick..." Lin Yujing swiftly pulled out her emergency stash from her bag and handed it to Mo Nian, "Here, take this... good sister, for an emergency rescue..."
Mo Nian stared blankly at the emergency ABC in his hands.
He really had no idea how to use it.
But he still muttered a thank you.
When Cui Shenzhi came back into the classroom to teach the second class,
the two generals, along with Lin Yujing, were nowhere to be seen.
And that really hurt his feelings.
Is my class... really that bad...
It was my first time lecturing, and I had prepared so hard for it…
