CH 137.3

Xiao Jing had long since stopped screaming, and Bai Lixin asked him: [Now can I eat it?]

Xiao Jing stumbled over his words: [Is it really just a laxative? Perhaps there is something else mixed in it.]

Bai Lixin: [Like what?]

Xiao Jing was silent for a few seconds before saying: [For example…aphrodisiacs, sleeping drugs or something like that. Can you really tell from just smelling it?]

Bai Lixin’s eyes dimmed slightly.

Xiao Jing desperately tried to stop him, perhaps he fell for this trick back then.

In the midst of Teacher Sheng’s apprehensive gaze, Bai Lixin swallowed the pill.

The second he swallowed it, a figure in the distant third floor window of the office building suddenly appeared at the window.

Although it was far away, Bai Lixin still saw who the other person was.

It was none other than Chairman Huang.

He was not in a wheelchair, but had walked to the window sill. He was standing right at the window and looking out, his eyes, which had been gentle before, were now filled with a beast-like light.

Seeing Bai Lixin look towards him, the corners of Chairman Huang’s lips curled up, tugging at the wrinkles of his face all the way up to where his ears were.

The two dark eyes curved up like crescent moons, and the whole lips formed an extremely bizarre and lewd grin.

Xiao Jing shivered and Teacher Sheng returned to his previous state of indifference.

“Let’s go, student Bai Lixin.”

Bai Lixin pursed his lips and silently followed Teacher Sheng.

After just two steps, the system’s prompt suddenly rang out.

[Ding!]

[Harmful substance detected, a laxative that stimulates rapid bowel movements has been ingested. The passive skill [Poison Resistance] will be activated.]

[Ding! Detoxification successful.]

Bai Lixin: [……]

I took the medicine for nothing.

Bai Lixin: […system]

Escape System: [Hey, what’s wrong, dear Master Bai Lixin?]

Bai Lixin: [From the perspective of Chinese medicine, laxatives such as croton are a medicine.]

Escape System: [Ah, sorry, Master Bai Lixin. Poison resistance doesn’t have that detection ability, it will carry out a detoxification once it detects the substance will affect your body’s normal balance.]

Bai Lixin: [Then can we upgrade it slightly and change the passive detoxification to a screening detoxification? For example, if I take poison for a purpose, you’ll help me detoxify it but it will affect my plans.]

Escape System: [Okay, I’ll try to adjust it now.]

A few seconds later…

[Ding! Congratulations player, poison resistance is available for upgrade.]

[Upgrade 1: Instantaneous detoxification for lethal poisons without obtaining the player’s consent.

[2: Consent to detoxify non-lethal class poisons. ]

[A friendly reminder: when the player falls into a coma, all toxins will automatically follow the first principle in order to protect the player’s safety.]

[40,000 points are needed to upgrade. Does the player wish to proceed with the upgrade?]

[Yes / No]

Bai Lixin pressed [Yes] and the words “Poison Resistance” immediately turned into “Super Poison Resistance”.

Ever since S419M took down the escape system, not only has the efficiency of work increased, but even the mini screen became a floor-to-ceiling window.

It was a good feeling.

Bai Lixin: [What about the laxative?]

Escape system: [Ah….]

S419M: [Lord host, your body is already immune to such small things, can you not bully Sister?]

Escape system: [It’s okay, Lord Bai Lixin, I can help stimulate abdominal pain at the critical moment. As long as you need it, I can help you. Brother, you are not allowed to accuse Master Bai Lixin.]

S419M: [……]

??? So I was the clown?

Should I just go?

Escape system: [That Xiao Jing is too emotional, he will affect you, should I temporarily seal him in the backpack?]

Bai Lixin: [No need, that’s all. Thank you, little sister, you are so kind, you know much better than S419M.]

The original cold tone of the escape system had now turned sweet: [Hey, as long as you like it.]

S419M: [……]

Where’s my environmental cap? Weld it for me!

Escape system: [You are my idol, you’re my favorite person besides Brother.]

S419M: [Wuuu.]

It turns out that I am Sister’s favorite person, comfortable, and quickly take off my environmental protection cap.

Inside the office building was cold and deserted. Unlike the lively school building, no one was walking around, even the lights are not.

If it wasn’t for the immaculate floors and corridors, people would even think it was an empty and abandoned building.

There was a direct elevator in the office building, and when it came back to the ground floor, Teacher Sheng did not go in immediately, but pressed himself against the door frame and calculated the time.

He looked at the watch on his wrist while watching Bai Lixin’s face.

It was only when the elevator dinged that Teacher Sheng walked in with Bai Lixin with a serious look on his face.

There was surveillance in the elevator and Teacher Sheng cleared his throat, “Chairman Huang is very gentle, he’s been paying you attention ever since he saw you in the common classroom.”

“You can tell Chairman Huang any inconveniences or difficulties you may have.”

“He will definitely help you.”

He then leaned against the wall of the elevator in the blind spot of the camera and whispered softly, “Don’t be afraid.”

They soon reached the third floor, and the moment the elevator doors opened, a cold, eerie breeze suddenly blew into the lift, shaking the entire elevator.

Teacher Sheng steadied his footing and led Bai Lixin out of the elevator. His expression had returned to its initial indifference.

The place was clearly white and the corridor was facing the outside, but the sunlight didn’t come in.

Teacher Sheng stood at the office with the “Chairman” sign, knocked gently on the door and stood up straight.

“Come in.”

The old voice came, and Teacher Sheng’s eyes became gloomy for a second before he pushed the door open.

Chairman Huang, who had been standing at the window earlier, was now sitting on the sofa, his eyes directed at the door greedily.

Teacher Sheng leaned against the door, his eyes humble and his tone respectful, “Chairman Huang, I’ve brought the person for you, it’s student Bai Lixin from B-1.”

Chairman Huang looked Bai Lixin up and down, his already greedy gaze unconsciously revealing the sharpness of a beast.

The beastly aura suddenly disappeared, and Chairman Huang’s surroundings were immediately bathed in a gentle radiance: “Why are you standing there? Come in.”

Teacher Sheng lowered his head.

Bai Lixin glanced at Teacher Sheng and walked in with a cowering expression.

“Ahem,” Chairman Huang coughed lightly, “Well done, Little Sheng. I want to talk to this student alone for a while, you go ahead and get to work.”

“I’ll call you when we’re done talking.”

Teacher Sheng stood in the doorway, and closed the door stiffly.

Just as the door was about to be completely closed, Bai Lixin suddenly called out shyly, “Please wait a moment, Teacher Sheng.”

Teacher Sheng paused and looked at Bai Lixin in a daze.

Bai Lixin took out an object from his pocket and quickly stuffed it into Teacher Sheng’s pocket, “This is from my tablemate Su Fan, please give it to him for me, thank you.”

After saying this, Bai Lixin winked at Teacher Sheng, and then closed the door with a bang.

Teacher Sheng stared at the closed door blankly, holding a long-aged pen in his hand….

—

“Come and sit with me, student Bai Lixin.” They were now alone and Chairman Huang immediately called out to Bai Lixin with a gentle voice and also beckoned towards him.

But Bai Lixin was more restrained, he shrank back and his hands were nervously placed in front of his body, his eyes kept looking around, like a frightened little rabbit.

This shy expression instantly pleased Chairman Huang, his old bark-like face became twisted as he chuckled hoarsely, “Are you afraid of me?”

Bai Lixin lowered his head and replied in a voice as small as a bee, “You are too majestic so I’m a little scared.”

“Hahahaha,” Chairman Huang laughed again. “Don’t be afraid, it’s just you and me here, there’s no third person, you can treat me as an ordinary elder not chairman of the board.”

“I’m not going to lie, you look a lot like my grandson, so I liked you the moment I saw you and I wanted to get closer to you.”

“Don’t be afraid, come and sit over Grandpa.”

But Bai Lixin was still scared, he looked at Chairman Huang with a pale face, “But in the novels I read, some bad teachers molested their students in the name of caring for them, you aren’t like that, right?”

Chairman Huang’s ugly smile stiffened for a moment, then he smiled again, “Like you said, it was in a novel, there is no such drama in the real world, nor are there that many bad people. I am a teacher, how could I possibly do such a thing?”

“Isn’t it said that fiction comes from reality?” Bai Lixin gave President Huang a timid glance, “So you really value talent and are concerned about my daily life?”

Chairman Huang had absolute patience with the little white rabbit, “Of course, how could I have such nasty thoughts?”

Bai Lixin, “It is also said in the novels that lying will get you struck by thunder and lightning.”

Chairman Huang took a deep breath and casually said, “Well, may five thunderbolts strike me if I’m lying to you. Are you relieved now?”

It’s amazing that people still believed in such childish oaths.

If oaths worked, he would have died many times.

Bai Lixin, “Then you must not forget what you said today.”

His eyes swept over Chairman Huang’s office as he spoke. It was large and had an inner door so there should be a resting place inside.

The room had a desk, bookshelves, sofas etc.

Bai Lixin’s eyes fell on a photograph hung on the wall.

The photograph was yellowed with age but it looked like a group photo of a class.

Noticing Bai Lixin’s gaze, Chairman Huang stood up from the sofa and walked to the photo, asking, “What, are you interested in this old picture?”

Bai Lixin didn’t forget to maintain his weak persona and he nodded fearfully, carefully keeping Chairman Huang at a distance.

What interested him was not the picture, but a certain person in this picture.

He was standing in the far corner of the group photo, his long hair covered most of his face, his eyes looked somber and timid, and he was skinny, as if he were malnourished.

At the top of the photo was a line that read:

S380, Class C-1 group photo.
