In fact, it wasn't that Lu Bai had particularly good eyesight.

The little kid spotted Lu Bai from a great distance and immediately started waving at him frantically.

As soon as Lu Bai stepped out of the school gate, he was rushed up and hugged by Lu Qingyan.

"Hey bro, why are you out so early this time too?"

"I'm a bit special," Lu Bai casually brushed it off.

Seeing that he wasn't missing any limbs, Lu Ziyi didn't say much, simply stating, "Let's go home then."

"If you're not in a hurry, you can wait."

Lu Bai's tone sounded very gentle.

Based on his understanding of the world, he was certain that it wouldn't be long before someone came after him looking for him.

"Waiting for what?" Lu Ziyi asked instinctively.

Lu Bai gave a concluding reply, "Wait for someone to bring the money."

To be honest, he could have stayed in the Multi-purpose Venue indefinitely; verifying the information wouldn't have taken much time anyway.

He only decided to come out first to meet the Lu siblings because he knew they would be waiting for him at the school gate.

Improving their quality of life should naturally extend to these siblings, so to avoid further explanation, we decided to wait for school officials to come and explain the situation to them.

Lu Bai and the siblings blended into the crowd without attracting much attention; the school gate was mostly filled with family members waiting for their students.

Subsequent developments did not surprise Lu Bai.

Before long, a large group of people, led by counselor Liang Fuzhong, rushed out from the other side of the road.

At this moment, Liang Fuzhong's feelings were quite complicated.

It's no exaggeration to say that even now that it's been confirmed that his student did indeed win first place in the Deathmatch Showdown, he still feels it's all very unreal.

Because this is simply too unbelievable.

Not to mention Chen Li, even his counselor believed that Lu Bai was talking nonsense before the information was verified.

This is due to both stereotypes and the fact that the achievement is so astonishing.

It's unbelievable how amazing these students are; could they really be produced by our Zudian Campus?

"Did you see which way Lu went?"

"Squad Leader Liu, go check the security camera footage at the guard post and see if student Lü has left the campus."

"Hurry, we absolutely cannot let anyone from other campuses come into contact with Lu Bai first."

After Liang Fuzhong finished directing the faculty and staff under his command, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked around. Out of the corner of his eye, he inadvertently caught sight of a familiar figure at the school gate.

"Lu Bai?!"

Liang Fuzhong was so excited he almost fainted, and hurriedly ran over.

Moreover, as if afraid that Lu Bai might suddenly run away, she stretched out her hands and tightly grasped Lu Bai's right hand.

"Great, Lu Bai, we've finally found you!"

"Don't rush, take a breath first."

Lu Bai tried to pull his right hand out without making a sound, but failed.

"Oh, you two must be Lu Bai's younger brother and sister, right? You really are family, both so good-looking."

Liang Fuzhong awkwardly offered his assistance. "This isn't the place to talk. How about we go to a meeting room on campus and chat?"

This strange turn of events left Lu Qingyan and Lu Ziyi completely bewildered, having no idea what was going on.

Liang Fuzhong didn't have much of an impression of the two of them, but they knew very well who their older brother's tutor was.

The luxurious reception room is decorated with lush green potted plants in every corner.

The sofas placed inside have a delicate feel, beautiful textures, and a combination of quality and comfort; you can tell at a glance that they are expensive.

This made Lu Ziyi feel uncomfortable sitting on the sofa, and even Lu Qingyan didn't act as much as he usually does at home.

Lu Bai didn't seem to care much about this, responding casually to the praise from Liang Fuzhong and the others.

This unproductive conversation didn't last long. Before Lu Bai could finish his steaming tea, Vice Principal Guan hurriedly pushed open the door and entered.

As soon as Vice Principal Guan entered the room, he abandoned his previous stern demeanor in front of Chen Li and put on a kind face.

Sitting down opposite Lu Bai, he said kindly, "Lü, right? I'm Vice Principal Guan Yongxiao. I've heard about what happened. It's our school's fault for making you suffer this time."

But please rest assured, Chen Li a director, is not qualified to expel students. As long as you are willing, you will always be a member of the Zudian Campus.

Furthermore, our school consistently adheres to the principles of fairness and impartiality, and we will certainly deal with Director Chen Li seriously."

"Thank you, Principal Guan."

When Lu Bai smiled, he exuded an innocent and harmless aura, making everything he said sound friendly, "Don't worry, I never said I wanted to drop out of school."

He could completely understand Chen Li; that Director Chen was simply a bit too individualistic.

After all, once you officially become a deathmatch fighter, influenced by social consensus and self-perception, you will inevitably fall into a certain elitist arrogance, which is an unavoidable result of human nature.

So he wasn't actually dissatisfied; part of the reason he chose to leave the Multi-purpose Venue was that he was too lazy to argue with anyone.

However, this approach seemed somewhat alarming to the school staff after verifying the information, who feared that Lu Bai had transferred schools in a fit of anger.

Upon hearing Lu Bai's statement, Guan Yongxiao clapped his hands and laughed.

"Excellent! Your composure and humility are admirable; no wonder you've achieved such outstanding results in the Deathmatch Arena."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Guan Yongxiao got straight to the point.

"According to our campus regulations, the student who wins first place in the first three rounds of the Deathmatch Showdown will receive a reward of 500,000 Livability Coin."

Guan Yongxiao continued, "But given your outstanding academic performance, the school has decided to award you an additional one million NT dollars."

In total, there are two million Livability Coin.

For Lu Bai, who earns 3,000 yuan a month, this is a huge sum of money; at least he can stop eating synthetic foods.

Upon hearing this number, Lu Qingyan jumped up, her eyes almost turning into the shape of currency.

Even though Lu Ziyi didn't lose her composure like a little kid, her hands on her knees were unconsciously clenched, and she forgot to pull Lu Qingyan back.

It's worth mentioning that Guan Yongxiao actually paid for the extra one million Livability Coin reward out of his own pocket; he hadn't discussed it with the principal yet.

As the vice principal, he was naturally a seasoned veteran.

The moment he walked in, he could tell that the three siblings were in dire financial straits.

It would be great if he could spend money to improve his relationship with the person in question; he wouldn't mind spending another million.

There was a knock on the door to the reception room.

Soon another group of people filed in.

The elderly man leading the group was dignified and imposing, his snow-white hair meticulously styled.

Chen Li followed the old man listlessly, looking like a wilted eggplant.

The old man walked up to Lu Bai, but instead of being as amiable as Vice Principal Guan, he displayed an attitude of treating him as an equal.

He extended his right hand and solemnly said, "I am Pu Xueli, the principal of the Zudian Campus."
