Scorning the Student Union, Minus Fifty Points

"Yu Shu, didn't you hear... Yu Shu? Yu Shu!!"

"What did you say his name was?"

"Yu Shu."

"Yu... Director Yu!!"

"What?" Yang De looked utterly confused.

Yu Shu patted his shoulder, signaling for him to hand over the phone.

Yang De passed it over with a puzzled look. Yu Shu opened with a King Bomb.

"Yang Guangcai, I think I should call you Yang Guangcai. Sure~ You're so good at making money, why don't you start a business?

Your income is probably several times mine, right?"

"D-Director, you misunderstand. How would I dare accept gifts?"

"Your son is practically climbing over my head."

"Please, let me explain."

"You should save that speech for the Discipline Inspection Commission."

With that, he tossed the phone back to the stunned Yang De.

"Here. Your father probably has something to say to you."

"Dad."

"You little bastard, you had the nerve to demand gifts from our director? Are you trying to get yourself killed? Just wait till I get home—I'll skin you alive!"

Bzzz~

Yang De's ears rang completely, and his mind went blank.

D-Director...

Xu Yi had an uncle who was a director?

Damn it, why hadn't he said so earlier?

If he had said so earlier, wouldn't they have started sucking up to him already?

Now they were screwed. He might not even get to be coworkers with them next year.

He was going to be cellmates with his own dad.

The other two were equally dumbfounded.

Liu Yu covered his mouth, his eyeballs trembling. Was this the mouth I'd just used to mock the director?

Was I the one who wanted the director to split the Secondhand Smoke Money?

Bro, did you work for an intelligence agency? How were you so good at hiding things?

If you'd shown us your status earlier, wouldn't we have been the workhorses and clowns?

"Uncle Yu, don't blame Yang either," Xu Yi said.

Yang De: What a good brother!

"He's always like this. I'm used to it."

Uncle Yu gently rubbed Xu Yi's head, his gaze warm. "Good child, you're just too kind. By the way, why don't you call him by his full name?"

"Because he lacks virtue."

Anger Value +100

Bang~

The dormitory door was suddenly kicked open.

"Student Union dorm inspection!"

"Why are you still sitting when you see me?"

Xu Yi immediately stood up. "S-Sorry."

"Why are there snacks on the bed?"

"I'll put them away right now," Xu Yi hurriedly said.

"Don't you know eating too many snacks is bad for you? Give them to me. I'll help share your pain."

Yu Shu: "???"

But Xu Yi put the snacks into his bag, his tone dejected. "I don't have much allowance. This is my food for the next few days."

"Fine, fine. You really are a petty man. You can share good times, but not hardships."

"Your name is Xu Yi, right? I heard you're an orphan too."

"Yes. What about it?"

"Here's five yuan. Take it."

"Huh? What does that mean?"

"It's the condolence money I owe you from your family's funeral. Remember, you owe me two banquet meals now. Treat me to dinner twice to make up for it."

Anger Value +50

The principal, who had just returned from the restroom, nearly failed to catch his breath upon hearing that.

My whole life has been like walking on thin ice...

He was just about to go in when Yu Shu stopped him with a look.

A cold glint flashed through Xu Yi's eyes, then he smilingly stuffed the money back.

"Sorry, President, but I can't take this money. Let me give you five yuan instead."

"What? Have you finally learned how things work?"

"This is the condolence money I'll give for your parents someday."

"You're courting death!"

The Student Union President flew into a rage and was about to charge forward when the other two grabbed him.

"Don't be impulsive, President. It's wrong to hit people. We're the Student Union—wouldn't it be easy to deal with him? There's no need for violence."

"You're right..."

The President calmed down. After casually glancing at Xu Yi a few times, he scribbled furiously.

"Blanket on the bed, minus five points."

"Trash in the trash can, minus five points."

"Dust on your shoe soles, minus five points."

Xu Yi's expression turned ugly. "You're deducting points at random."

"These are all school rules. Go tell a teacher if you've got the guts. Let's see whose side he takes."

"He'll stand over your grave," Wang Liang said, smashing the keyboard angrily.

"Insulting the Student Union, minus twenty points."

"President~ Pspspsps..."

"? What are you doing?"

"Oh, so you know I'm greeting you."

"...Minus another forty points! Deduct them! I'm really pissed right now!"

"President, calm down. Later, you and I can play Honor of Kings. I'll play Meng Tian, and you can play Daji."

Lust flashed through the President's eyes. "Fine. Tonight, wipe your phone clean and wait for me."

That exchange sent a chill through Xu Yi and the others.

Unfortunately, Yu Shu did not understand a word of it.

"What are those expressions? Scorning the Student Union, minus another fifty points!"

Xu Yi's face remained cold as he asked word by word, "My uncle is still here. Are you sure you want to deduct points?"

"Who's your uncle? You think he's the principal or something? What a joke. Minus another fifty points!"

Bang~

The principal could no longer endure it. He shoved the door open and roared, "Chen Liang, the school entrusted you with the heavy responsibility of the Student Union, and this is how you abuse your authority?"

"Principal, this dorm violated the rules first."

"Who let you come in? Get out."

"Director, I really couldn't listen anymore. I failed to manage the Student Union properly. It's my fault."

Chen Liang stared blankly at Yu Shu. "He's a director? Director of what?"

Xu Yi said righteously, "It's okay, it's okay. Don't cover for us just because my uncle is the director of the Education Bureau. If points should be deducted, then deduct them."

Thud~

Chen Liang's legs went weak, and for some reason, he dropped to his knees.

Riiip~

Then, under everyone's gaze, he ate the deduction slip.

"Deduct points? What points? I was just stopping by to visit."

The principal's face was dark as a pot. If this had not been a livestream, he would have gone up and slapped him twice.

"You people shouldn't be in the Student Union anymore. Replace them."

Their faces turned as ugly as if their mothers had died.

Over the past few years, they had thrown their weight around and offended too many people. Without the Student Union label, wouldn't everyone else beat them to death?

"What are you standing around for? Get out already!"

"Sorry, Brother Xu."

After apologizing, the three of them slunk out of the dormitory.

Still not satisfied, the principal informed his assistant, "Those Student Union members—don't let them graduate."

Uncle Yu checked his watch. "It's getting late. I need to return to the bureau for a meeting and report everything truthfully.

Someone will probably come question you later. Answer truthfully. Good luck, Principal."

"O-Okay."

Though he wore a padded jacket, the principal was still wiping sweat from his forehead.

The three roommates wore grave expressions as they stared uncertainly at Xu Yi.

Why did it feel like Xu Yi's identity was more than it seemed?

The way that director looked at Xu Yi was not how an elder looked at a junior.

There was tension and caution in his eyes...

The more they thought about it, the more terrifying it became.

The three shook their heads. No matter what Xu Yi's identity was, he was someone they could not afford to offend.

"Brother Xu, have a smoke..." Wang Liang said with a fawning smile.

Xu Yi waved his hand. "No. You still haven't split the Secondhand Smoke Money with me."

Wang Liang's smile stiffened for a moment. Then he found a plastic bag and put it over his own head.

Smoke swirled inside the bag. "Hehe... From now on, I'll inhale all the secondhand smoke. It definitely won't affect you."

Xu Yi smiled and looked at the other two. "Sharing joy with everyone is better than enjoying it alone. This secondhand smoke..."

Hearing the system notification, Xu Yi smiled in satisfaction.

Although Yu Shu had left, his great mission of earning Emotion Points could not stop.

The more he earned, the faster he would rise.

With the system, what did it matter that his uncle was a director?

Even if Ultraman came, he would have to offer him a cigarette before going off to fight monsters.

"Brother Xu, I can't breathe with this plastic bag over my head," Yang De said.
