…Outside the classroom…Mu Chen, sporting a black eye, silently observed Hiratsuka Shizuka, who was smoking nearby.
He felt…that he might not be able to handle Jing Ke'ai. She was clearly a girl, so why was she so good at fighting? No wonder she failed so many blind dates.
Straightening his appearance, Mu Chen regained his elegance.
Although he had a black eye, which looked rather strange.
But the great Teacher Lu Xun once said…Lu Xun: Elegance is timeless.
Zhou Shuren: Exactly!
"Teacher, smoke less," Mu Chen said calmly, his hands in his pockets.
"Hmph, you little brat, are you trying to lecture me now?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka's expression was disdainful, and she continued smoking, completely disregarding Mu Chen's words.
Mu Chen shrugged, "A woman like Teacher, there must be many people who dislike her."
Hiratsuka Shizuka: "(▼dish▼#)"
Seeing her face darken, Mu Chen shivered, then smiled slightly and said, "But I quite like a teacher like this~"
At these words, Hiratsuka Shizuka looked flustered, her face slightly red, but she quickly recovered, then her beautiful eyes fixed on Mu Chen, her voice serious.
"Brat! I'm warning you! Don't think about such things!"
"Tsk."
Mu Chen pouted, "I know, Teacher Shizuka~"
The two stayed in the corridor for ten minutes. During these ten minutes, Hiratsuka Shizuka was lost in thought, completely unsettled by Mu Chen's words.
Then, she stubbed out her cigarette, composed herself, and led Mu Chen back into the classroom.
The self-introductions of the other classmates were already finished. Mu Chen didn't wait for the two teachers to say more and walked directly to his seat. Before sitting down, he deliberately glanced at the Ice Sculpture Beauty behind him.
Hmm, she's aloof now, but will be silly/fool later.
The Ice Sculpture Beauty lives up to her name!
"Hmm?"
Kaguya Shinomiya was startled, then her delicate brows furrowed slightly.
What did that classmate in front mean by looking at her just now? Why did it feel so strange?
If the other party admired her, Kaguya Shinomiya would recognize that look immediately.
But clearly…the other party's gaze just now wasn't like that. She always felt he was badmouthing her in his mind, though she didn't know if it was just her imagination.
Sitting at his desk, Mu Chen abandoned his earlier elegance. His white hair fell over his forehead, and he lazily lay on the desk, his gaze unfocused.
Before long, he fell into a deep sleep…In the afternoon, at three o'clock, during the last class.
Mu Chen slowly woke up. His lazy, half-awake face, like a painting, caught the attention of many girls.
He rubbed his eyes, and his blurry vision gradually cleared.
Looking around, all the classmates were chatting leisurely, and the two teachers on the podium were doing the same.
After all, it was the first day of school, so a little relaxation was normal.
"As expected of me~ I slept all day."
Mu Chen thought happily, stretching.
This kind of daily life was something he had imagined for a long time. He wondered if Ping Nai would set up the "Service Club"; he definitely wanted to join it.
No one would refuse a cold cat slave!
"Classmates!"
Just then, Yukinoshita Yukino, who was sitting in front, stood up. Her cold gaze swept across the classroom, and she spoke in a chilly voice.
Everyone's attention was drawn to her, including Mu Chen.
What's going on?
This wasn't like Ping Nai's personality.
Mu Chen stroked his chin, feeling puzzled. It was just the beginning of school; logically, Yukinoshita Yukino's personality shouldn't lead to too much interaction with her classmates.
Seeing everyone looking at her, Yukinoshita Yukino slowly spoke.
"After school, various stores will be selling virtual screen helmets. The world's first virtual reality game, 'Divine Realm,' will also open its servers tonight at seven."
"I advise everyone to buy a helmet and play this game seriously!"
After speaking, Yukinoshita Yukino sat down.
The other deskmates in the class exchanged glances, while Asuna and Kaguya Shinomiya, who sat behind Mu Chen, seemed to have thought of something, a glint flashing in their eyes.
Mu Chen, on the other hand, was completely bewildered.
What's the situation?
He knew Yukinoshita Hirano (Mistaken/Misidentified name for Yukinoshita Yukino) was eager to help others, but what did it mean for her to suddenly tell everyone to buy a game?
The first virtual reality game had no pre-launch hype?
Moreover…the game's name wasn't "SAO" from Sword Art Online or "NewWorldOnline" from shield girl, but a game he had never heard of?
Is this reasonable?
It's very reasonable!
Mu Chen felt this situation was very reasonable.
After all, this was a comprehensive anime world; it couldn't be viewed conventionally.
He just didn't know if this game was a death game like "SAO."
However…Yukinoshita Hirano (Mistaken/Misidentified name for Yukinoshita Yukino) specifically reminded everyone to play this game, which made Mu Chen pay close attention.
Ding-a-ling-ling~~
At the same time, the dismissal bell rang, and Hiratsuka Shizuka stood up and looked at her students.
"Alright, class dismissed."
With that, she and Chabashira Sae left the classroom.
Mu Chen said nothing, simply stood up and went home.
He wasn't in the mood to find a wife right now. Regardless of what Yukinoshita Yukino's words truly meant, the most important thing at the moment was to buy a virtual helmet.
Leaving Sobu High School, Mu Chen headed straight for the mall.
Indeed, many shops in the mall were selling game helmets.
Walking directly to a store, Mu Chen asked:
"Boss, how much is a game helmet?"
"Ten thousand RMB."
"Scan the code."
Mu Chen took out his phone and scanned the code directly.
Ten thousand RMB, not expensive, just small change~
Holding the game helmet, Mu Chen headed towards his home. On the way back, he also wandered around for a long time and found that most young people were buying game helmets.
"The allure of virtual games is truly something ordinary people can't resist."
Mu Chen found a restaurant on the way and had a meal.
Time passed bit by bit.
It wasn't until six-thirty in the afternoon that Mu Chen returned home.
After arriving home, he went into his bedroom and connected all the gaming equipment to the power.
Lying on the bed, Mu Chen put on the game helmet.
"Connect to game!"
