Chapter 74: 74. Public Enemy of the Whole School
Translator: 549690339
Two days later, Monday morning.
As soon as Lin Zichen arrived at school, he headed straight to the administrative building to find the female principal and tell her he wanted to hold a personal challenge match.
The rules were simple, he would defend the position while allowing the entire student body to challenge him.
The female principal was a bit dumbfounded after hearing this: “You’re just a freshman and you want to challenge the entire student body, are you serious?”
Lin Zichen didn’t beat about the bush and took the female principal to a corner of the gym where no one was and showed her his strength by lifting a 700kg barbell with one hand.
The female principal was completely shocked.
“700 kilograms!”
“That’s even stronger than Wu Tiancheng, the strongest student in the school’s history, during his freshman year!”
“Am I dreaming?”
Once she regained her composure, the female principal said excitedly, “No problem, I’ll arrange a solo showcase where you can challenge the entire school!”
“Principal, remember to set up a reward, without a reward, no one will be motivated.”
“Don’t worry, leave it to the principal!”
“It’s best to set up two kinds of rewards, one for participation to encourage everyone to step up and challenge and a cumulative reward, which is a prize pool that grows with each challenge attempt. The more attempts, the larger the pool of prize money. Whoever beats me gets to take the prize money. If no one can beat me within a certain period, then I’ll receive the prize money.”
“OK, we’ll do it just as you said!”
“Principal, regarding my strength, you must keep it a secret for me first, otherwise nobody will be motivated to challenge if they find out.”
“Alright, alright, the principal will listen to you!”
No matter what Lin Zichen asked for, the female principal was quick to agree without hesitation, completely unlike the domineering figure who instilled fear in the entire school on regular days.
That’s the charm of a genius of the highest caliber in school history; capable of making the high and mighty female principal willingly become an eager follower, as if she were hypnotized.
At lunch break.
The female principal, having spent the whole morning pondering, personally came to Class 1 of freshman year with the solo showcase plan she had prepared and handed it to Lin Zichen for his approval.
Lin Zichen quickly glanced at it and nodded with satisfaction, “Nicely done, principal, thank you for your hard work.”
The female principal beamed, “Oh, it’s no trouble at all.”
Many of the passing teachers and students rubbed their eyes, wondering if they were dreaming.
What’s going on?
How come the ever-serious female principal, the notorious terror of the school, was smiling like a sycophant in front of a student?
What sort of turnaround was this?
Unlike everyone else, Shen Qinghan, who also witnessed this scene, remained completely calm throughout.
Whether it was teachers fawning over Lin Zichen or the principal doing so, she had grown up seeing it and was well accustomed to it.
“Of course I agreed, there’s money involved,” said Lin Zichen, adding, “Once we get the money, we should find a time for our two families to go out for a big meal.”
“Yes, yes!” Shen Qinghan nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking, already drooling at the thought.
Seeing this, Lin Zichen couldn’t help but smile. Such a foodie, just like when she was little.
Evening.
After dinner, Lin Zichen rested for a while and quickly started his daily exercise routine.
Last night was strength training, so tonight is speed.
He changed shoes, grabbed his keys.
Lin Zichen stepped out the door, ready to go for a road run.
As he left, he heard a gentle, sweet voice singing from the neighboring building. It was very pleasant to the ear.
It was Shen Qinghan practicing her singing again, preparing hard for the December singing competition.
Such a soft, lovely voice, and she was practicing so earnestly; she was bound to win a prize at this rate.
I’ll have to buy a bouquet for that occasion. After she finishes singing and wins, I’ll go onstage and give them to her.
What kind of flowers should I buy? I’ll need to think about this carefully.
There’s still time, might as well run by the florist on the way...
Thinking this, Lin Zichen picked up his pace toward the nearest florist.
On the bustling street.
A somewhat handsome young man, holding a cup of lemon tea that costs just four yuan, stood on the sidewalk, scrutinizing every person who walked by.
Oddly enough, he wasn’t interested in the beautiful women at all.
Whether they were in stockings or in cheongsams, he didn’t give them a second glance.
His gaze remained solely on the young, handsome men.
I give up; is Shanhai City this bad? All I want is a perfect 10 in terms of looks. How come I’ve been searching for days without any luck?
All these handsome guys passing by have flaws. It’s so annoying!
If I can’t complete this sacrifice task perfectly, how will the Sect Hierarch look at me?
Will I be ostracized in the cult in the future?
The more he thought about it, the more agitated the young man became, almost to the point of stamping his feet in frustration.
Just as he decided to give up on perfectionism and was ready to catch a decent-looking guy to get it over with,
suddenly, he spotted a full-score handsome guy in the flower shop across the street!
“Holy shit, so handsome!”
“It’s like finding a needle in a haystack without even trying!”
“Pikachu, I choose you!”
