Fake Slackers

Fake Slackers

Chapter 98 - Chapter 97

Broken Heart Cliff is a popular battleground in "Genesis". The reason for its popularity is simple: if you can't win, it's better to jump off the cliff yourself than to die by the enemy's sword.

At least you can die with some dignity.

The battle between the two gangs, "Class 4 Kneel and Call Us Daddy" and "Class 3 Are All Grandsons", quickly became popular and attracted many onlookers.

"In the bottom right corner of the inventory," He Chao said, "Sports Committee rep, hide behind and if necessary, jump off the cliff. Hao-zi, help block them for a while...Which one is Liang Hui on the other side? I'll go and kill him."

He Chao started off by taking down several heads, using sneaky tactics and stylish movements.

Liu Cunhao rushed up and protected the level five newbie behind him: "Your family's Old Xie is already taking care of things."

"╰→Addicted To Thinking Of You ah~" was charging into the enemy camp alone.

Although Xie Yu hadn't played this game for a long time, Zhou Dalei liked to study new combos when he had nothing to do. When he came up with one, he would show off in front of Xie Yu, "Boss Xie, look at this move. I've decided to name it Lei-zi's Blade. What do you think?"

Xie Yu didn't hold back, "I think it's tacky."

Zhou Dalei: "..."

Liang Hui was pinned down by the warrior with an idiotic ID on his head and couldn't move. In just five minutes, their team was already down to half.

They were fighting back and forth, and for a moment, they couldn't see the scenery around them, with special effects filling the screen.

"Low health, one hit."

Before the people around him could react, Xie Yu said, "Dead."

Liang Hui had some pretty good equipment, probably because he invested all his gaming thoughts into high-priced gear. His game character looked flashy, but his actual gameplay wasn't that great.

At this moment, Xue Xisheng finally finished taking his medicine and regained some health. He used several skills with almost zero damage to show everyone his stubbornness as a level five newbie.

Twenty minutes later--

System prompt: ["Class 4 Kneel and Call Us Daddy" defeats "Class 3 Are All Grandsons".]

The victory was exhilarating, and Liu Cunhao's voice was almost hoarse from shouting. At the moment of announcing the winner, he screamed desperately, "We won, brothers! We won!"

Xie Yu was so shaken by Liu Cunhao's shout that he got a headache. He instinctively wanted to take off his headphones, but then he heard even louder cursing coming from them: "Are you trying to die? Have you finished your homework? Why are you still playing games?"

Liu Cunhao's loud voice summoned his parents, who burst into the room and scolded him mercilessly.

Liu Cunhao was instantly subdued by the scolding and meekly said, "Mom, just ten more minutes of play...I swear, really."

Meanwhile, another parent was not following the usual script.

"Why stop playing? Play with your classmates a little longer. This game looks interesting. Do you want to buy some equipment? I see other kids have bought some...If you like it, buy it. Mom will give you the money."

The entire Class 3 was left speechless by this parent's unexpected behavior.

Then they heard Xue Xisheng say helplessly, "Mom, it's okay. I don't need to play anymore. I need to go study vocabulary."

"..."

Liu Cunhao felt like crying: "How can the difference between people be so great?"

Xie Yu rested his hand on the headphone cable and laughed along with the laughter coming from the headphones. Everyone else was laughing uncontrollably except for Liu Cunhao, who was still lamenting the unfairness of fate.

He laughed and let go of his hand, intending to quit the game, but he saw the students from Class 4 using the public address system in the "world" to make an announcement.

- "Admitting defeat."

- "Sorry."

This competition was initiated by their class, so they had no choice but to admit defeat.

However, even though they apologized, the chat box of the Class 4 gang was not so apologetic. Liang Hui was so angry that he pounded on the keyboard, and only after pressing the send button did he realize that he had sent it to the wrong place.

Suddenly, a line of text appeared in the "world".

- "Classmates who always have the lowest average scores in exams are now playing games, of course they are winning [/hehe]."

The conflict between the two classes started with a basketball game and has escalated to a point where it cannot be contained. They are all young and hot-blooded, unable to control their emotions.

Xie Yu's hand stiffened.

He was already unhappy about the situation, but now, upon seeing this sentence, he felt a surge of anger rushing to his head.

The group chat of Class 3 fell silent until someone couldn't resist and cursed, then everyone exploded in unison: "What do they mean?!"

Before the students of Class 3 could say more, a familiar and aesthetically unusual username appeared in the "World" channel.

"╰→Addicted To Thinking Of You ah~": Want to die?

Just as Xie Yu finished typing, another username with the same style also appeared.

"﹏Enchanted From Loving You〆": This mid-term exam, open your eyes wide and see clearly who your father is.

Class 3: "..."

They never expected that it was the two students with poor grades in the class who stood up first to talk tough, even before Xue Xisheng spoke.

Although their momentum was explosive, arrogant, and domineering, inexplicably there was also a bit of hot blood, but the students in Class 3 were not infected by this kind of hot blood.

Luo Wen's voice began to tremble: "No, although you said it very cool, why are you so arrogant? Do you know what you are saying?"

Wan Da: "Wake up, ah! Please be more sober, you two!"

Liu Cunhao: "Brother Chao, your ego really can't be too inflated!"

There was less than two weeks left before the mid-term exam.

Since the beginning of their second year, the school had organized a monthly exam. In the recent one, the two perennial bottom-feeders in their class had improved slightly, but not by much.

The students in Class 3 were happy about it, but they couldn't help but suspect that the two had just gotten lucky with the questions.

Their reaction was so intense that Xie Yu and He Chao couldn't even get a word in. He Chao finally managed to say, "It's okay, even if we let them have thirty points, actually Old Xie and I..."

But before he could finish, one by one, the students in Class 3 left the group chat.

"Lu Wenqiang has left the voice chat."

"Liu Cunhao has left the voice chat."

......

Xie Yu: ?

[Liu Cunhao]: Goodbye, I couldn't stand listening anymore after 30 minutes. Even if they let us have 30 points, we're still unlikely to win. For the dignity of our class, I'm going offline to study.

[Wan Da]: I'm going to study too.

[Luo Wenqiang]: Me too.

Only Xie Yu and He Chao were left in the voice chat.

He Chao was at a loss, he was only angry at first and wanted to support the team with the little friend. Since the words were already spoken, he decided to talk to his classmates, but they didn't want to listen at all. "What happened to the trust between people."

He Chao sighed and then called out to him, "Old Xie."

"Hmm?"

"That plan we had before, steady..."

Xie Yu quit the game and interrupted him, "Steady my ass."

Liang Hui's words were still ringing in his head.

Xie Yu was extremely annoyed, especially with his pent-up anger about being labeled a poor student. All he could think was, let's just do it and get it over with.

He Chao released the mouse and said, "Alright, let's do it."

Over the weekend, the group chat was quiet. No one spoke up, and even if they did, it was just to ask the class committee representative a few questions before disappearing again.

"Oh, and don't forget to bring that bag on the table to school when you leave," Gu Xuelan said on Monday morning, barely taking a few sips of her porridge before nagging again. "It's the health supplement that mom bought for you to nourish your body."

"Got it."

After finishing his response, Xie Yu felt his phone vibrate twice. He opened it to see that the study committee representative was explaining a geometry problem to Luo Wenqiang. Xie Yu glanced at it briefly before returning to his breakfast.

"Classmate?" Gu Xuelan asked.

"Mhmm."

Their conversations always went like this. In the past, Xie Yu didn't notice anything wrong with it. He was always a man of few words and preferred to do things rather than talk about them. But ever since their last conversation, he started paying more attention to the meaning behind Madam Gu's words.

After a moment of silence, Xie Yu spoke up, "Our study representative teaches people how to solve problems in the class group. A few days ago..."

Xie Yu wasn't good at talking about these things. He could make a fight sound boring with just a few words. But Gu Xuelan was still happy to listen, and even asked curiously, "Doesn't he do anything else?"

Xie Yu replied, "Studying is the only thing in his life."

The traffic was a bit congested on the way, and by the time Xie Yu arrived at school, the bell was about to ring. The classroom of Class 3 was eerily quiet, unlike the usual noisy chatter that could be heard from far away.

As Xie Yu walked towards the back door, he saw five big words written on the blackboard that he didn't know when they were written. They were in bold red letters that struck straight to the heart: "Defy Fate and Change Destiny!"

"..."

He wasn't the only one who arrived late, as He Chao also entered the classroom at the same time as Xie Yu. He leaned against the door frame and barely stopped, then reached out and put his hand on Xie Yu's shoulder, bending down slightly and saying, "What are you standing here for, not going in?"

After He Chao finished speaking, he glanced into the classroom and also saw the four words "Defy Fate and Change Destiny": "What is this...the theme of this issue of the bulletin board?"

Xie Yu retorted, "Do you think the school would choose such a theme?"

Class 3 had an especially studious atmosphere today, with everyone buried in their books. Wan Da had just finished his cleaning duty and walked in from outside when He Chao beckoned him over.

Wan Da put down his cleaning cloth and, to He Chao's surprise, pulled out a small vocabulary book from his other hand. "Morning, Brother Chao."

"Morning. Friend, care to explain?" He Chao asked.

"Oh, this was written by Hao-zi," Wan Da said. "He wanted to encourage everyone and remind us not to give up hope. Our midterm exam is a make-or-break situation."

Class 3 didn't have high hopes for these two, but they hoped that at least they could guess a few more answers like they did on the last exam. The rest of the class would have to rely on themselves to bring up the average score.

Earlier that morning, they had held an emergency meeting to prepare for the worst-case scenario. Although it was difficult, it wasn't entirely impossible.

At that time, Liu Cunhao held a piece of paper in one hand while using the other to circle and draw on it.

"Let's assume, if Brother Chao scores a ten this time...no, let's be more conservative and assume zero points! That way, each of us only needs to score..."

Wan Da was about to go back to studying when he heard He Chao say, "Why bother studying so hard? Old Xie and I can easily get a few full marks."

Xie Yu, who was usually quiet, actually added on with a "Mm".

Wan Da was taken aback by their inexplicable confidence and exclaimed, "Are you guys crazy! What kind of dream are you living in! Wake up!"

Xie Yu: "..."

He Chao: "..."
