[Overseas Chinese Middle School 3] A sinister plot: Chen Han escaped disaster!

Just then, while Chen Han was analyzing the rules.

The teacher handed out the math quizzes as well.

Chen Han was shocked to discover a huge score of 150 on his paper.

If he remembered correctly, that was full marks for high school math, right?

That was freaking amazing!

Chen Han nodded slightly.

Was the character he was playing this time actually someone that formidable?

At that moment, the instant the papers were handed out, Chen Han's deskmate.

Sat bolt upright, as reverent as a pilgrim.

He seemed ready to correct his paper.

Chen Han's deskmate was named Wang Xihu, and his expression was very grave.

Just then, he glanced at Chen Han's paper.

He could not hide the disappointment on his face.

The damage was simply devastating.

A clear, conspicuous 150.

Was written in the upper-right corner of the paper, and etched into Wang Xihu's heart.

In an instant, even though Chen Han had not said a word.

Wang Xihu was filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment.

Wang Xihu cautiously asked Chen Han.

"Chen Han, you came first again. You're amazing. Can you tell me how you scored so high?"

Silence.

A long silence.

A full three seconds passed, and Chen Han seemed not to have noticed Wang Xihu at all, continuing to study his paper intently instead.

Wang Xihu began to look a little embarrassed.

"Chen Han, Chen Han!"

"Did you hear me?"

Chen Han still ignored Wang Xihu.

Comments flew across the livestream chat.

"Why is Boss Chen Han ignoring his deskmate?"

"Aren't other people whispering too? Why is he ignoring him? Is there some trick to this?"

"There's no blue pen showing in Wang Xihu's pencil case right now, so he should be safe to talk to. Didn't it say to communicate more with classmates?"

At that moment, their homeroom teacher, Teacher Li, started shouting again.

"Liu Mingjie, why are you talking in class again!"

Liu Mingjie was also a player. His deskmate had just struck up a conversation, and he had casually answered.

Before he could even finish speaking, he felt an immense oppressive force.

Then Teacher Li strode down from the podium and pulled a teaching whip from behind his waist.

Without another word, he lashed Liu Mingjie with it.

Liu Mingjie howled from the blow.

That lash really did land with a resounding crack.

He showed no mercy whatsoever.

Chen Han sat toward the front, while Liu Mingjie's seat was near the back.

Once again, he did not see Teacher Li beating anyone, but he heard the whip strike flesh.

The whoosh was its friction against the air.

The crack was the cruelty of it actually striking flesh.

So fucking loud!

"Go stand at the back!"

Teacher Li shouted again.

Liu Mingjie gave Teacher Li a venomous look, then glanced at his deskmate.

This guy was the one who had started chatting with him, yet Teacher Li had only hit him.

He had no idea why.

It was so unfair!

And when this deskmate heard the sound he made as the whip struck him.

The corners of his mouth actually lifted slightly.

At that moment, Liu Mingjie suddenly felt his whole body go numb.

This guy definitely did it on purpose!

Liu Mingjie glared at his deskmate, enduring the intense pain.

He still obediently went to stand at the back.

Even if he wanted to teach his deskmate a lesson, he did not dare do it in front of everyone.

The livestream chat immediately exploded.

"Holy shit, this guy did it on purpose?"

"Did you see that? He's smiling!"

"Why is he trying to harm the players?"

"Don't tell me he figured out they're players?"

"That's so scary! The anomalies in this instance feel more human, and they're smarter!"

Soon, the viewers watching Chen Han's perspective also realized something was wrong.

They all exclaimed how fortunate it was that Chen Han had ignored Wang Xihu earlier.

"This guy is seriously devious. He even deliberately tried talking to Chen Han twice!"

"Good thing Boss Chen Han has incredible self-control and ignored him."

"I'm dying. Did you see Wang Xihu's pissed-off face? That felt great!"

In truth, Chen Han had ignored Wang Xihu earlier.

Because he had realized he could never score 150 himself, and had fallen deep into thought.

The issue was extremely serious, since it concerned whether he could continue maintaining his good-student persona.

So he had not noticed Wang Xihu trying to talk to him.

Twice, at that!

By the time Wang Xihu tried to strike up a conversation with Chen Han for the third time.

Liu Mingjie happened to receive a vicious lash from Teacher Li.

Only then did Chen Han emerge from his own world.

He rubbed his fingers together.

This instance was insane!

Just as he was about to look at what had happened behind him.

He noticed that Wang Xihu was actually wearing an eerie smile!

As though his scheme had succeeded.

It was exceptionally sinister.

Chen Han calmly shifted his gaze back, pretending he had seen nothing.

But he knew perfectly well.

There was definitely something wrong with this deskmate of his!

Who would gloat while watching their own classmate get punished?

That was far too inhuman!

So there was no way he could pick up where Wang Xihu had left off and continue the conversation.

The rest of class was an ordeal for Chen Han.

Chen Han discovered one truly shitty thing about this school: the bell signaling the end of class was completely useless.

Morning reading went straight into first period, first period went straight into second period, and second period went straight into third period.

Three consecutive classes swallowed up every break!

Every time one teacher finished, another arrived right on their heels.

And every single one of these teachers looked chilling.

Each had a somewhat pale face, a darkened spot between the brows, and cloudy eyes that revealed a glint of sharpness.

None were to be trifled with.

And regardless of gender, every one of them had extremely high combat power.

There was absolutely no chance of players taking them head-on.

They were one hundred percent anomalies!

And extremely powerful anomalies at that!

As for whether the students here were anomalies?

Chen Han was not sure.

Although these students were also stiff and utterly lifeless.

They still seemed more like living people than anomalies.

At least sometimes, they made little movements that anomalies could not.

Like blowing their noses, picking their noses, and even getting drowsy!

When they got drowsy, they first nodded bit by bit, then propped themselves up with a hand, and finally started swaying wildly.

Of course, it ended with another brutal beating from the teacher.

If the students here were anomalies, then being able to imitate drowsiness so vividly would make them truly unbeatable!

So Chen Han felt they were more like people inside the instance rather than anomalies, and they were even less likely to be players.

Three classes passed without a single minute to leave his chair.

Chen Han felt as though his bladder was about to explode.

Every last one of them could really hold it.

Finally, when third period ended, the bell rang again.

Only then did a few scattered people leave their seats.

They started chatting.

Of course, most people simply put their heads down on their desks and fell peacefully asleep.

Class was finally truly over.

Chen Han let out a sigh of relief.

He quickly left his seat, intending to head for the restroom.

Just then, someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder.

Chen Han immediately went on alert.
