"As for subject representatives, each teacher will choose their own."
Liu Shiguo paused, his gaze naturally settling on Ling Yun.
"My physics subject representative will be Ling Yun."
His tone carried the certainty that said, This job is made for you.
Looking at the homeroom teacher's "I believe in you" expression, Ling Yun could only smile helplessly and nod.
Great, another assignment.
"All right, that concludes today's class cadre election."
Liu Shiguo briskly tidied up the podium and was about to leave.
"Teacher! We haven't chosen the Physical Education Committee Member yet!"
A sharp-eyed student hurriedly called out to him.
Liu Shiguo stopped, as if he had only just remembered. He waved casually. "Oh, that. Teacher Zhao, your Physical Education Teacher, already spoke to me in advance. She specifically appointed Ling Yun as her subject representative and also put him in charge of the class's sports activities. I forgot to tell you just now."
"Gasp..." A faint chorus of sharp intakes of breath rang through the classroom.
The students looked at Ling Yun with astonishment and a hint of admiration.
Class Monitor, Discipline Committee Member, physics subject representative, the subject representative personally appointed by the Physical Education Teacher... One person holding several positions at once, with that level of trust and workload, he was practically "second only to the teacher" in the class!
"And one more thing," Liu Shiguo continued, seemingly oblivious to everyone's surprise. "The official holiday starts this afternoon and lasts until next Monday. Well, I don't need to tell you this—you're definitely better informed than I am."
The moment he finished speaking, a knowing wave of laughter swept through the classroom.
Indeed, when it came to news about holidays, students could always learn about it in advance through all kinds of "underground channels."
"After school, the Class Monitor will organize everyone into lines. Following the school's requirements, each class will go to the school gate in order and disperse at our designated location before leaving."
After giving his final instructions, Liu Shiguo's gaze drifted toward Ling Yun. "Ling Yun, I'm leaving this to you. Arrange everything as you see fit. I'm off."
With that, he left the classroom with brisk steps and not the slightest trace of reluctance.
Watching this "come and go like the wind" homeroom teacher, the students were seeing someone so "carefree" for the first time. Surprisingly, they did not dislike it at all. Instead, they felt relaxed and at ease.
The moment Liu Shiguo left, the atmosphere in the classroom immediately became lively. It was worlds apart from the restraint they had shown when they had first arrived a few days ago.
"Brother Yun," Zhou Da came over and lowered his voice. "You really aren't going to control them? They're so noisy. What if the teacher on duty or the student council catches them and deducts points? What about Old Liu..."
"It's fine." Ling Yun waved his hand calmly. "Old Liu doesn't care about that."
He recalled that in his previous life, their class really had been a major source of deducted points. But not only had Liu Shiguo not been angry, he had even said at a class meeting, "As long as you don't go too far when you talk or fool around, who cares if a few points get deducted? It won't have any substantial effect on me. Competing for honors? I'll be retiring next year. I don't care. The Director of Education only forced this class on me because he saw that I had nothing to do. As long as you don't cause some huge mess and get formally disciplined by the school, I'll be thanking my lucky stars. I'll calmly lead you for a year, and we'll all have an easier time."
Knowing that this was his homeroom teacher's attitude, Ling Yun naturally had no need to worry about the class's discipline.
Just then, the melodious bell signaling the end of class rang on time.
Ling Yun stood up and skillfully directed everyone to line up in two columns.
He himself stood naturally on the outside of the line, making it convenient to observe and direct everyone.
Seeing this, Jiang Yingqing quietly moved to the back of the line, ending up standing beside Ling Yun.
"Brother Ling Yun," she tilted her head slightly, her voice very soft and carrying a barely concealed excitement. "Don't forget our plans for tomorrow."
"Don't worry." Ling Yun smiled back. "I remember our first date."
He deliberately emphasized the words "first date."
Two red clouds instantly appeared on Jiang Yingqing's cheeks, and her heart felt sweet. The two of them had agreed that at eight tomorrow morning, Jiang Yingqing would go to Ling Yun's house to pick him up.
"By the way," she suddenly remembered something and confirmed, "you're starting your stream at six tonight, right?"
"That's right. I'll start on time." Ling Yun nodded. "Remember to come watch."
"Of course!" Jiang Yingqing's eyes sparkled. "To watch your stream, I even specially changed my name to one that's super—awesome!" She deliberately drew out the last word, keeping him in suspense.
"Oh? What's this great name? Give me a hint." Ling Yun asked curiously.
"It's a secret!" Jiang Yingqing flashed a sly smile, her face seeming to grow even redder. "I'll send you gifts when the time comes. You'll definitely know it's me at a glance!"
Thinking of the name she had changed to, which carried a little of her careful thought and shyness, she felt the heat in her face rise several degrees.
Looking at her inexplicably reddening face, Ling Yun began to wonder as well: What kind of name could make her this embarrassed?
As the two spoke in low voices, the class formation had already moved orderly to the designated spot at the school gate.
At the command to dismiss the formation, the students said goodbye to one another and scattered home.
Ling Yun also greeted the students around him before turning and merging into the stream of students leaving school.
When he got home, Ling Yun closed the door and immediately prepared to absorb the Qi Refining Pill rewarded by the system.
"Claim the pill."
Ling Yun did not hesitate and swallowed it directly.
Time passed slowly. When Ling Yun opened his eyes again, he felt refreshed and invigorated. His five senses seemed slightly sharper, and his body seemed to contain more abundant energy than before.
He sensed himself and found that his mental power seemed more condensed, while his body had also become much lighter and stronger.
He glanced at the time. It was already past four in the afternoon.
Ling Yun quickly checked all his streaming equipment—the camera, microphone, lights, and streaming software.
He had posted a streaming announcement video on Douyin ahead of time, and the platform authorities had also provided considerable promotional resources. Clearly, they intended to support this promising newcomer in his attempt to seize the position of "the number one Honor of Kings streamer."
After adjusting everything and ensuring there would be no problems,
at exactly six in the afternoon, Ling Yun clicked the "Start Live Stream" button.
He quickly came up with a title that was eye-catching enough and sufficiently "bold":
[New Streamer's First Broadcast! Goal: Top Three in the Peak Tournament's Final Rankings! Lose One Game and Give Away a 1,000-Yuan Cash Red Packet!]
With the title and the platform's promotion, the moment the stream began, its popularity rapidly climbed, soon surpassing a thousand viewers. The comments began to scroll:
[??? Top three in the final rankings? Clickbait, bro!] [Are you living under a rock? Look at the streamer's ID! The real 'S of Honor of Kings'!] [So what? I've never heard of anyone capable of finishing in the top three.] [S God is awesome! He's finally streaming!] [That's a bold claim. Getting Top of the Peak is already impossibly difficult, and you're talking about finishing in the top three? I'll wait for the red packets!] [Little brother, your voice sounds so nice. Show your face?]
Looking at the comments flying past, Ling Yun saw doubts, admiration, teasing, and curiosity about his voice.
Ling Yun cleared his throat and spoke with a confident smile:
"Brothers, is finishing in the top three really that difficult? I think anyone with hands can do it. Come learn in my stream for a while. Maybe you'll be the next Peak Tournament powerhouse."
The moment he finished speaking, the comments exploded:
[??? Listen to him. Is that even something a human would say?] [S God: Just basic operations. Don't make a big deal of it.] [Hahaha, I have to hand it to the streamer for showing off!] [I've learned it, I've learned it. I'm going to the Peak Tournament to give away points right now!] [Great voice + amazing skills, I'm in love! Face reveal! Strongly requesting a face reveal!] [Yeah, streamer, show us your face!]
As for showing his face, Ling Yun had no plans to do so for the time being. He wanted to wait until after the college entrance examination. Revealing his face now would affect his experience at school.
Alternatively, he could wait until he became famous in some field before showing his face.
He thought for a moment before speaking into the microphone. "Thank you for your support. As for me, I still want to make a living through my skills. I don't want to be a looks-based streamer. Besides, I'm still a first-year high school student..."
He deliberately paused, building up the suspense. "How about this? Let's make a promise! I'll definitely reveal my face by the end of the college entrance examination at the latest! I'll do exactly as I say!"
[High school student? Is he a prodigy?!] [Theoretically speaking, with a voice this nice, the streamer probably isn't very good-looking in real life.] [I'll bet fifty cents that he's definitely handsome! Looking forward to seeing what the streamer looks like three years from now.]
"All right, brothers, the promise has been made. I'll reveal my face within three years at the latest.
Now, let me show you what true skill looks like!"
Ling Yun stopped wasting words and clicked the Honor of Kings icon. "Goal: top three in the final rankings! Honor of Kings, launch!"
