The Heavenly Queen Teaches a Class

"Haha, these names are hilarious! Ximen Fugui and Huangfu Tieniu are both high-class surnames, but they were given such tacky names. It's so awkward."

"So these are the four young masters of a wealthy family? Giving them a tractor is like giving them a sports car. Are they rich or poor?"

President Meng Hao couldn't help but chuckle and asked the boy from before, "Who sent this manuscript?"

"It's by Murong Qing, a freshman, that girl who's been really famous lately. But it wasn't written by her; it seems like it was written by a member of her club," the boy couldn't help but ask. "President, you're not planning to publish this article, are you?"

"Publish it! Why wouldn't we publish it? It's definitely a romance novel, perfectly meeting our criteria for this issue."

"But if this article is published, won't people think it's mocking other romance novelists?"

"Even if it's ridicule, it's the author of this article who's making a group mockery, it has nothing to do with our literary society. I remember printing two hundred more copies than before... no, four hundred more! I have a feeling this issue will become a hot topic, giving our literary society plenty of talking points and publicity."

Chapter 428 The Queen Takes Class

"This issue of the school magazine is really interesting, have you guys read it?"

"Isn't this issue of the school magazine supposed to be about romance? It'll definitely be full of love stories that girls like. I have no interest in that. You're a grown man reading this kind of novel, don't you feel ashamed?"

"Exactly! The romance novels girls read have absolutely no logic, especially the male protagonists. They're handsome, skilled in martial Spirit Transformation cultivators and billionaires have many troubles in life. They spend 90% of their time either cultivating or working. Where do they find so much time for romance and sweet nothings with the female protagonist?"

"The more successful a man is, the busier he is at work. Love takes a backseat in his life. It's like a paradox: men who have time to chase women are those who don't have much of a career. Men who have made something of themselves are often too lazy to spend time on women. They're so busy cultivating themselves every day, they don't have the mood to get entangled with women. If they like someone, they'll be together; if they don't, they'll just leave."

"Sigh, you've all misunderstood. I didn't want you to read any romance novels aimed at women, but rather the last article in this issue of the school magazine. Don't blame me for not warning you; not reading it would be a great loss in your lives."

"You make it sound so real, is it really that amazing?"

"Pfft! Hahaha... This chapter is hilarious! The four young masters of the Rural Wealthy Family, what a brilliant idea the author came up with! 'I'm going to let the whole world know that you've taken over this fishpond,' that declaration is so domineering, it almost made me wet my pants. If the female lead wants to eat pork in the future, will she have to buy up all the pigsties in the village?"

"This should be considered a dark comedy, a story written in a very serious tone, yet the literary society actually included it in this issue of the school magazine. It seems they're intentionally trying to create a big news story."

"Girls who like romance novels must hate this author to death. This is much worse than nitpicking about illogical points. Imagine you're reading a romance novel and suddenly you recall this story, and the male lead's charm is completely wiped out, and you lose all interest. This author is simply a romance novel killer."

"The author's name is 'Anonymous,' so it seems he's afraid of revealing his real name and being targeted by girls... Hey, here's some information about the author. It says he was provided by a club called 'Mutual Aid Society.' Does our school have such a student club?"

As expected, Si Ming's article, which combined several internet jokes from his previous life, sparked a heated discussion. In particular, the literary society maliciously placed his article as the last piece in this issue of the school magazine. Imagine the shock of readers turning to the last page after reading the previous works and finding an "anti-romance" piece that completely overturned all the previous romance novels.

It's important to understand that in this era, there was no internet, and the general public hadn't yet been exposed to various jokes, so their threshold for laughter was relatively low. Even in Si Ming's previous life, jokes about "Rural Wealthy Family" had caused a frenzy online. For a group of simple college students at Linked Mountains University, this was tantamount to dropping a weapon of mass destruction.

Readers who enjoy romance novels may hate the author to the core, while those who don't like or don't particularly like the author are amused by the author's "eccentric genius".

Because there were few jokes in that era, the influence of "Rural Wealthy Family" quickly spread beyond Linked Mountains University, first affecting several other nearby universities, and then appearing in the local newspaper a week later. Due to the strong reaction, it was quoted by other newspapers, and its influence expanded nationwide a month later. It can be said that the number of readers who have read Si Ming's novels is less than one-tenth of the number of readers who have read this collection of jokes.

Not all girls like reading romance novels, and not all boys don't read them, but 95% of the readers of romance novels are girls. It's no exaggeration to say that girls are the majority. With this blow, Si Ming has become a public enemy of women and has also gained the title of "romance novel killer."

Fortunately, he had somewhat anticipated this situation and did not use his own name or pen name, only writing "Anonymous." Afterwards, he instructed Murong Qing and others not to reveal the secret. Although they laughed at him, he avoided the limelight—no matter how resentful the readers were, they wouldn't bother to investigate the author's identity.

Riding on this wave of popularity, the Mutual Aid Society gained some recognition, and people kept coming to them seeking help. However, people were clearly not interested in reading the instructions and did not understand the premise of the Mutual Aid Society's rescue at all. They regarded it as an alternative Mohist Knight Guard, similar to the "Yorozuya" in Japanese manga. Therefore, what Si Ming and his group did all day was refuse customers.

"You must be the Mutual Aid Society. I want to take the elective course offered by Yuezheng, but I wasn't selected. Could you please help me out? Just name your price."

"Sorry, we don't accept this request."

"Why? Didn't you say we could ask you for help whenever we had any problems?"

"The difficulties we're talking about are the kind that will impact your personal life. If you can't attend Yuezheng's class, you can always choose other professors' classes. It won't affect your studies, right?"

"How could it not have an impact? If I can't attend Yuezheng's classes, I'll commit suicide. This is a matter of life and death!"

"Then come find us after you commit suicide."

Such conversations continued, much to the annoyance of Si Ming and the others. In the end, they had no choice but to suspend club activities, hang a "No Visitors" sign on the classroom door, and set up a sign next to it that clearly stated the conditions for Mutual Aid Society's help, as well as the contact addresses of several members.

According to Yu Shuying, who proposed this idea, this method is like a filter, weeding out those who are just here for the fun of it. After being turned away once, they will give up and be too lazy to keep looking. On the other hand, students who really want help will not mind walking a few more steps. If the problem they encounter is simpler than finding someone, there is really no need for them to ask for help.

After doing this, no one bothered them for a week, and Si Ming and the others relaxed and could turn their attention back to their studies and cultivation. It proved that most of the problems the students encountered could be solved by themselves.

This day happened to be the day Yuezheng Yao started her class. It's unclear whether Si Ming was lucky enough to pass the selection process, which supposedly had only a 5% success rate.

When he arrived at the large classroom, he found that it was already 80% full. It was packed with people, a stark contrast to elective courses where at least 30% of students skipped class. Every student's face was filled with excitement and anticipation, eager to meet their idol up close.

"Brother Ming, I'm here!"

Hao Shuai raised his hand high and beckoned Si Ming over. He had actually managed to snag a seat in the second row and even saved one for Si Ming.

"It's amazing you managed to get such a good seat," Si Ming said, walking over before adding suspiciously, "Speaking of which, I didn't see you in the previous two advanced math classes. Could it be that you...?"

"Haha, that's right, I skipped two classes specifically to get a good seat in Yuezheng's class!" Hao Shuai proudly puffed out his chest, then added regretfully, "It's a pity I couldn't get a front row seat, everyone was too eager! I came here without having breakfast, and I even listened to two clinical obstetrics and gynecology classes in this classroom."

"In other words, at least those students sitting in the first row also attended two obstetrics and gynecology classes with you."

Si Ming thought that the medical instructor would be very surprised that there were more students in class today than on the attendance list.

"Let me throw some cold water on you: the calculus professor is taking attendance, and it's the kind of attendance where everyone who answers has to stand up. I can't even pretend to take your place."

"No way! Professor Cheng, Professor Cheng, is best known for her Thirty-Six Styles of Muscle-Separating and Bone-Dislocating Hand. Students punished by her are in excruciating pain." Hao Shuai couldn't help but groan, his face turning pale.

When Su State University choose courses, they need to consider not only their professional interests, but also the temperament of the instructor, whether he or she will punish students, and what his or her most skilled martial arts are. After all, a blow from Muscle-Separating and Bone-Dislocating Hand technique is definitely more painful than Give Me Back My Pretty Fist.

If it weren't for the fact that freshmen's courses are already set and they can't freely choose their courses, there would definitely be very few students willing to choose Professor Cheng.

Hao Shuai's expression quickly returned to normal. "Forget it, let's live for today. Her Muscle-Separating and Bone-Dislocating Hand is formidable, but my Black Rhinoceros Iron Skin Art is no joke either. I've been training hard for over ten years, just to deal with this kind of situation."
