Chapter 122: Save the brain dead lover (1)
When Ren Zhu opened his eyes again, all he saw was pure white. For a moment, he couldn’t quite comprehend it. After all, he had spent a considerable amount of time in the apocalypse. Even after humanity finally cleared all the zombies and decoded the infectious virus brought by the bug race, the recovery and development had taken a long time.
.
In the post-apocalyptic world of his recovery, Ren Zhu had passed away peacefully. With his partner as the target, he had upgraded almost all of his class teacher skills to level ten. Perhaps the changes brought about by the meteor in that world had caused some alterations, but his system seemed to have absorbed ample energy there. Eventually, the system became talkative and evolved with additional functions.
The reason he maxed out his skills was that the system told him the next world was crucial, and he needed sufficient self-preservation ability to achieve a good ending. Otherwise, various tragic deaths might unfold.
Ren Zhu felt like the system was setting up flags for him, yet surprisingly, Yi Xiao was also explaining various abilities and techniques, as if afraid he would be at a disadvantage. Ren Zhu followed along attentively.
As he was about to leave, Yi Xiao silently removed all his spiritual power, lying next to him and gently holding his hand. “In the next life… you should actively come find me. I’ll need you very much.”
Ren Zhu raised an eyebrow. “You talk as if you know what the next world will be like. Actually, I’ve always wondered why you seem more like a @#¥%25*&.”
The system’s biological child.
Helplessly rolling his eyes, Ren Zhu really wanted to scorn the system that was censoring his speech. But it seemed Yi Xiao understood his meaning. He chuckled softly, “I have a feeling that in the next life, you might come to know the truth.”
Ren Zhu chuckled, “Then see you in the next life.”
After closing his eyes, he once again heard some faint noises. However, before he could make out the words, he was already in this new world.
Yet, something felt off. In other worlds, even if his identity was all over the place, he was at least an adult. But now, he looked blankly at his hands. From his middle finger to his wrist, it was no more than ten centimeters. If he was considered an adult, he’d be a dwarf. Clearly, he wasn’t.
“System, you should say something at this point.”
The system sensed Ren Zhu’s dissatisfaction and knew it couldn’t avoid the topic. It tried to sound sweet and cute, 【Cough cough, Host, this world is different from others. You can find ‘truth’ in this world. This world is very unique, and the bodies the system chooses for the host are the most suitable. Please accept it happily! Enjoy saving the world and living life!】
Ren Zhu’s mouth twitched. He completely rejected the system’s attempt to be cute, 【I just saved a world full of zombies, and now you want me to save another world? Why not just call this the Savior System instead of the Class Teacher System?】
The system felt mocked but couldn’t retort. After all, it would likely be exposed in this world soon. It chuckled awkwardly, 【Well, this time, you just need to save one person. And this time, the system is going all out. It will tell you who you need to save. Surprised? Happy?】
【…This doesn’t give me a good feeling.】Ren Zhu spoke earnestly. From the first time until now, the system had never been this considerate. The saviors of the previous world were even left guessing. If he hadn’t cleverly evaded the word traps, he might not have survived even the first life. Now the system was directly revealing who he needed to save, which made him suspect that person was incredibly hard to deal with.
【Cough cough, how could the system deceive you, Host! You’ve successfully accepted the system and survived until now. Believe in yourself; you’re truly one in a billion. So, keep moving forward without being careless! We’re all waiting for you!】
【Alright, enough with the nonsense. The first person you meet from now on is the person you need to save! Hahaha, get along well with them! Goodbye!】
Ren Zhu: “…”
He decided to take a nap first. After all, he was a child now.
However, Ren Zhu didn’t manage to close his eyes successfully. Just as he was about to sleep, he heard a loud thud. Before he could react, he felt a pain in his neck. It seemed he had been thrown out. When he felt a tremendous pain in his back, he realized he had indeed been thrown. He widened his eyes and looked up at a young boy who appeared to be around eleven or twelve years old, his eyes icy.
A bear child.
Teacher Ren’s teacherly spirit started to burn fiercely. This kind of adolescent who didn’t hesitate to take action, harmed innocent classmates and children, had to be educated properly!
So, Teacher Ren, also known as Little Bean Teacher, gritted his teeth and supported himself against the wall, shouting loudly, “Apologize to me!”
After these words came out, not only was Little Bean himself taken aback, but even the fierce-looking adolescent, along with other children of various ages who had followed, were all stunned.
Ren Zhu was shocked by the lack of authority in his voice. Even if he was only eight years old, why did his voice sound so soft and thin?! He wasn’t a little girl! Others were amazed that this usually timid and frail kid dared to demand an apology from the fierce Yi Xiao.
Yi Xiao turned slowly, looking at the kid who could only stand up against the wall and seemed as if he could be strangled with just one hand, his eyes moist as he looked back. His eyes turned slightly red, and he spoke coldly and mockingly, “The weak don’t deserve to live. Welcome to try to kill me.”
With that, he turned back to the bed, leaving Ren feeling a mixture of shock and anger.
Teacher Ren felt like he was trembling all over. At this moment, someone patted his shoulder compassionately. Ren Zhu turned his head to see a sunny and handsome young boy. “Forget it, Little Bamboo, if you get angry with him, you’ll only end up frustrating yourself and won’t get an apology from him. His psychic powers went out of control again today. It’s said that he destroyed three psychic calming devices in our institute. It’s lucky he just threw you against the wall instead of punching you to death. Do you dare ask him to apologize? Listen to big brother. Instead of thinking about making him apologize, think about what you need to do tomorrow to earn enough credits to buy food. You seem like you haven’t eaten in two days. You’re really pitiful…”
Though the sunny young boy sounded sympathetic, there was a trace of insincerity in his words. He and the other children quickly found their beds and settled down. Ren Zhu looked at the beds that had appeared on the walls seemingly out of thin air, soft and comfortable, and felt he needed to reevaluate his understanding of this world.
He sat in the corner, beginning to sort through the scant memories in his mind. He realized he needed to adjust his perspective once again. Following the ghostly world and the apocalyptic worm race world, this new world’s development was also quite remarkable, as it had broken out of the planet and ventured into space.
This was a highly advanced universe, combining technology and supernatural abilities. The civilization here had explored space and encountered many extraterrestrial beings and various planets. There weren’t many conflicts between planets; they were classified into three levels based on their civilization and power. So far, the ten major civilizations discovered formed a loose interstellar alliance, helping each other in this vast universe and occasionally digging pitfalls for one another in pursuit of their own interests.
In this alliance, the residents had different physical qualities from birth due to their bloodlines and talents. To better utilize these talents and qualities, at the age of six, children would undergo tests for psychic powers and physical strength. Parents wanted to know where their children’s talents lay, so they could guide them in that direction.
This world also possessed supernatural abilities, and the determining factor for whether an ability could be powerful was psychic power. Even if you had an extraordinary lightning-based ability, without strong psychic power, you could only produce a single lightning bolt before being depleted. So, Ren Zhu massaged his forehead, squeezing his pitifully frail and weak face. It’s no wonder he appeared to be the weakest among the children, and it’s no wonder that no one dared to stop the guy who just went mad. He and that adolescent were complete extremes in this school.
He was an E-ranked weakling in both psychic power and physical strength.
That adolescent was an S-ranked show-off in both psychic power and physical strength. Even if…
That adolescent with the chuunibyou syndrome had uncontrollable psychic power due to the death of his parents, yet he remained one of the most talented geniuses across the entire universe.
Ren Zhu, with an expressionless face, contemplated how he, a pitiful teacher, could save this genius-level troublemaking adolescent whose psychic power went berserk due to the death of his parents.
“Maybe I should save myself first.”
Ren Zhu pulled a bed out of the pristine white wall and lay down on it, thinking: Since I’ve become such a fragile little bamboo, I don’t need to bother with that troublesome kid. Instead, I should think about how to satisfy my hunger. When he was sorting through his memories earlier, he had felt particularly speechless when he discovered that the cause of his predecessor’s death was actually fever from hunger-induced weakness.
At least his brain hadn’t turned into mush; he had his luck to thank for that.
