The Rampaging Math Olympiad Deserters and Wangfujing Street's Overwhelming Spending Power

In the afternoon, Sing Sing was in the Personnel Division completing the filing procedures for Christopher, Jacqueline, and twelve other students.

My phone kept buzzing in my pocket.

When I took it out, more than a dozen voice messages popped up in the group chat.

The first one is Li Qianhuan's wailing.

"Help! Teacher Chen dug up a challenging physics question from the college entrance exam that was thirty years ago!"

"You want me to use calculus to calculate the parabolic trajectory of plasma fireworks in a vacuum magnetic field?! My brain cells are completely dead!"

The second voice message was sent by Magik, and he was furious.

There were also Colossus's terrified cries of dissuasion.

"Stephen Chow! You promised to exempt me from the mock exam!"

Why is there a pop quiz this afternoon?!

"If you don't come and take me out for some fresh air, I'm sending the entire teaching and research office to Siberia to grow potatoes!"

Sing Sing sighed deeply, as a Deputy Division-Level leader who cared about his subordinates.

He understands the importance of balancing work and rest perfectly.

However, their level of education is really limited; most of them started working in society when they were only ten years old.

Where can one still sit down and listen to a lecture with patience?

That is, Colossus, Storm, and other elites who graduated from the X Academy of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

The Toad and Riptide Polaris group benefited from being early hires.

If this were today, they would also have to listen attentively in class.

About ten minutes later.

Sing Sing, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, strolled to the back door of the classroom.

School had already ended, but two students remained in the classroom.

Hello! Did you miss me?

The Magik was lying on the table using a compass to rub scraps of paper, jumped up from his seat upon hearing the sound.

Li Qianhuan, who was next to him, was not slow either. She glided over to Sing Sing on her skateboard.

Half an hour later.

Wangfujing Pedestrian Street in Beijing was bustling with people.

Li Qianhuan took a deep breath of the lively, bustling atmosphere and happily spun around on the spot.

"Wow, this is the place where humans should live!"

"There's no quadratic equation, and no damn pool manager!"

"Chief, does the patrol fee this afternoon include food and drinks?"

"Look at you, so pathetic!"

"Since I brought you all out to have fun, how could I possibly leave you without a meal?"

Having changed into a new suit, Sing Sing gestured with his chin toward the food stall next to him.

"Boss, three skewers of candied hawthorn, the kind with the thickest sugar coating, please."

"Give me two more cups of freshly baked hot pear soup, put it on the tab... oh wait, I mean, pay by scanning the QR code."

Sing Sing reluctantly took out his phone, scanned thirty yuan, and stuffed the two strings of candied hawthorns into Little Firework's and Magik's hands respectively.

Li Qianhuan bit into a hawthorn, and the sweet and sour taste made her squint her eyes in happiness.

She turned to look at the Magik beside her who was examining a candied hawthorn.

"Ili, what are you standing there for? Try it!"

The Magik frowned and muttered to himself.

"The transparent crystals on it seem to have very weak defensive capabilities."

"The red sphere inside has a water content of about 70%. Is this a miniature alchemical supply?"

"Oh my, you're doing ingredient analysis just from eating a snack."

"I told you to stay away from that lunatic Wenxi!"

Sing Sing took a bite of the candied hawthorn in his hand.

"Just open your mouth and bite! This is an appetizer passed down from our ancestors."

"Specializes in treating mania and hypoglycemia caused by various types of test-taking problems."

With a hint of disbelief, the Magik opened his mouth and bit into the candy shell, the sweet and sour juice melting on his tongue.

The usually cold-faced Lord of Hell had his eyes shining, and he chewed incessantly, his cheeks puffing out.

In no time at all, he had devoured the entire string of candied hawthorns.

"It's so delicious! It has a wonderfully tangy flavor that's even better than braised pork."

"Stephen, I request to use another ten strings of these candied hawthorns as payment for my tutoring time next week!"

"Dream on! My teeth hurt from eating too much! And when I go to the dentist for a filling, medical insurance won't cover the full cost."

Sing Sing led the two little girls as they strolled along the pedestrian street.

As they passed a brightly lit clothing store, Li Qianhuan grabbed the Magik's arm and pulled him inside.

"Let's go, Ili!"

"You're always either wearing that dark black combat leather jacket or your school uniform."

"Today, Sister Huan will help you pick out a cool outfit!"

"I don't need accessories. The combat uniform reduces friction during close combat, and Piotr forced me to wear the school uniform."

"Oh dear! Shopping for clothes is in a girl's nature!"

"The manager just said he'd pay for everything today, so why not take advantage of him!"

Upon hearing this, Sing Sing, who was smoking at the door, almost burned his finger with his cigarette butt.

After extinguishing his cigarette, Lao Zhou quickly followed him inside.

"Hey, watch your language! This director is only responsible for meal subsidies!"

"Clothing purchases are not covered by the expense reimbursement policy!"

The sales assistant in the store greeted us warmly.

In less than five minutes.

Li Qianhuan practically forced the Magik to change into a new set of clothes.

A beige hooded sweatshirt with bunny ears, paired with a tartan pleated skirt.

When the Magik walked out of the fitting room with a dark expression...

Li Qianhuan whistled and took out her phone, snapping several photos in quick succession.

"Oh my god, Ili, you look so cute in this outfit!"

"I'll develop the photos tonight and put them in the classroom. I guarantee Teacher Chen won't have the heart to call on you to answer questions anymore!"

Magik lowered his head and tugged at the fluffy rabbit ears dangling from his hood, his cheeks slightly flushed.

"That's so stupid!"

"If this defenseless, plush fabric were to fall into the hands of a demon from hell... my dignity would be utterly destroyed!"

"Don't draw your sword! You'll have to pay for it if you break it!"

Sing Sing rushed forward to stop the eager Magik.

This girl is finally starting to look like a normal young woman.

"It looks much better than you carrying around that big machete every day."

"Sales assistant, please wrap this outfit up."

"And get a new red scarf for the guy next to you in the yellow trench coat!"

"Wow, long live the director!"

Li Qianhuan cheered and dragged the still Magik pulling at the rabbit ears to the front desk to pay the bill.

After visiting several more stores, Lao Zhou spent a considerable amount of money buying clothes for the two little girls.

It was already getting dark when I left the clothing store.

In the square, a group of elderly men and women were dancing to cheerful music.

Illyana had her hands in the pockets of her newly bought bear-patterned sweatshirt, which she was wearing with a pleated skirt.

Seeing the children chasing balloons in the distance, I suddenly stopped.

"Stephen."

"In your country, all children can run freely on the streets at night. Aren't you worried about being attacked by random people?"

"Certainly."

"On this land, even if the sky falls, we'll hold it up."

"A child's only task is to finish their homework on time and then go out to play."
