[Overseas Chinese Middle School 6] A Sharp Viewer's Analysis, Chen Han Heads to the Cafeteria

Just then, a player named "Huixiazhi" suddenly spoke up in the livestream chat.

"Most people in this chat haven't understood what Boss Chen Han was doing."

"Boss Chen Han planned this from the start."

"Do you think Boss Chen Han only realized the classroom had changed because he happened to notice the different class sign?"

"Boss Chen Han decided to take Li Hebing as his underling the second he saw him. Li Hebing is a smart man, and Boss Chen Han likes dealing with smart people."

"But Li Hebing actually wanted to stand as his equal, so Chen Han deliberately rejected him twice."

"It was all to knock Li Hebing down a peg."

"After suffering two setbacks without being able to complain, followed by an outright setback involving the rules, Li Hebing would be completely won over by Boss Chen Han!"

"Otherwise, with a high-IQ player like Li Hebing, if Boss Chen Han had agreed to ally with him right from the start..."

"There would've been a very high chance of Li Hebing turning on him. Precisely because he's smart, he thinks he can keep anything under control, and that's why you can't keep him around."

The livestream chat had initially been chatting away in harmony.

But after seeing this expert's analysis, it exploded.

"Holy shit, Boss Chen Han is fucking amazing."

"Only now do I realize just how terrifying Boss Chen Han's grasp of human nature is!"

"Brilliant analysis. Even when Li Hebing first offered to ally with Chen Han, his attitude was arrogant as hell. How could he possibly have accepted being beneath him? He definitely would've screwed someone over."

"Boss Chen Han is way too devious."

"Is this a showdown between smart people? My brain can't keep up."

Chen Han was dumbfounded again.

He hadn't expected Li Hebing to speak up again just then.

Chen Han had only wanted to bluff him.

Li Hebing had plenty of useful information. Maybe a little bluffing would get him to spill something unexpected.

He hadn't expected Li Hebing to suddenly say that this wasn't their original classroom, but one that had already been changed.

Then he had said he wanted to become Chen Han's underling!

Chen Han was stunned.

Three questions instantly ran through his mind.

What exactly is he talking about?

When did I give him a hint?

This classroom isn't the original one anymore?

Chen Han froze, but based on his previous experience, being a boss meant maintaining an imposing air. He absolutely couldn't show uncertainty.

So his expression remained unchanged.

He stiffly said, "All right."

And just like that, he took Li Hebing as his underling.

Only when he was walking beside Li Hebing toward their actual classroom did he get a chance to glance at the class sign.

Only then did he discover, to his astonishment:

Holy shit.

It really isn't the same class sign as before.

I nearly stepped into the abyss.

Thank goodness Li Hebing suddenly warned me.

Otherwise, I would've gone down here.

Chen Han grew cautious.

Taking this underling was really worth it!

He's got potential!

Li Hebing walked with Chen Han all the way to the end of the corridor.

Only then did they reach Grade 12, Class 8.

Their classroom's location had undergone a complete shift, moving from the end of the corridor to the opposite end.

And the furnishings inside every classroom were almost identical, making them very difficult to tell apart.

By the time Chen Han returned to the classroom, class was about to start.

Once inside, he keenly sensed that among the other ten players, at least several of them...

Swept sharp gazes over Chen Han and Li Hebing.

They seemed to be probing the two's current relationship.

Chen Han showed no particular reaction and simply returned to his seat as usual.

Seeing Chen Han looking neither servile nor overbearing, Li Hebing naturally felt great admiration.

At that moment, he also made a show of taking out his test paper, pretending he had been enlightened by knowledge.

He muttered to himself.

"So that's how it works. How amazing."

Afterward, Chen Han stiffly endured another two classes.

Five classes in a single morning?!

How come I remember only having four classes a morning back when I was in high school?

Looks like the rat race really is getting worse.

The final class was math again.

When class ended, their homeroom teacher, Teacher Li, didn't forget to assert his authority once more.

"This citywide assessment is extremely important! You could call it the most important exam before the college entrance exam!"

"If any of you dares to do poorly this time, I won't be the only one dealing with you."

"You'll be taken straight to the academic affairs office!"

When their homeroom teacher, Teacher Li, mentioned the academic affairs office...

Chen Han distinctly sensed it.

A rare trace of fear actually appeared on the faces of the previously stiff, numb students.

Several of them even began scratching themselves anxiously.

After saying this, their homeroom teacher nodded and left, looking very satisfied.

Only after their homeroom teacher had completely disappeared from sight...

Did everyone begin getting ready to head to the cafeteria in scattered groups.

Although Chen Han didn't know where the cafeteria was, he could blend into the crowd and follow everyone there.

Just then, someone else suddenly approached Chen Han.

Chen Han was stunned.

Am I really that popular?

He had thought Li Hebing approaching him on his own was already an unexpected bonus.

There's another one?

Chen Han turned around in confusion and saw a male classmate.

He didn't wear glasses and had ordinary looks.

The most important thing was that he actually wasn't a player.

He was a real person who appeared in this instance!

His name also automatically appeared above his head, but its color differed from the players' names. His was black.

His name was "Chen Yinuo."

"Chen Han, you got another 150 on this math quiz. Impressive."

"I did badly this time. Only got 145."

He casually picked up Chen Han's test paper.

He seemed very close to Chen Han.

The livestream chat exploded too, with everyone discussing this "Chen Yinuo's" identity.

"Have you noticed? This guy isn't a player."

"What does he want with Chen Han?"

"I think he might be part of the character setup. In other words, he's Chen Han's friend in the setting."

"Damn, you can actually make friends in a school this twisted?"

"By this school's standards, Chen Han is a top student. It's normal for him to have friends."

Chen Han stiffly replied, "Mm."

Chen Yinuo didn't mind Chen Han's reticence.

He simply led Chen Han to the cafeteria, which was crowded.

But it was enormous, practically comparable to a small sports field.

There were about twenty serving windows.

Students stood in loose lines behind them.

All of that was fine, but the most messed-up thing was:

The cafeteria actually had separate seating areas for boys and girls!

Boys sat on the left, and girls sat on the right.

Chen Han swallowed.

Did they have to take it this far?!
