Chapter 72: Math Problem (1/2)

In this particular classroom, how many total dismembered hands were there?

Upon hearing this question, the red-clothed man’s complexion immediately changed for the worse!

At this moment, he would rather be in the position of the person whose hand was run through by that painful chalk than answer this trap-of-a-question.

This problem seemed simple when hearing it for the first time, but they still haven’t fully looked through the desks, so how could he know what the correct answer was?

The man in red frantically used his eyes to send a signal to the players below, asking them to lend him a hand and continue searching for the parts.

However, these experienced players, who have survived until the seventh level, weren’t mere fools. Even the good and honest Tom didn’t dare move haphazardly after being stared down by Teacher Zhang.

While standing on the platform, the man in red’s thoughts were fully consumed by anger, resenting the players below for not doing anything to help him. Yet, his heart was still clear about encountering this kind of situation. He also wouldn’t have faced these risks to help out an unfamiliar player.

Knowing that it was impossible to get help from the players over there, the man in red despairingly shifted his line of sight to the pile of hands on the table, his face looking grim.

After experiencing the mini-game last round, the man in red had his own fair share of guesses for this game.

The props used in this game were mostly from the players that have died in this dream.

In that case, the players, who all died in this classroom, must have had two hands.

So long as they weren’t handicapped, each person had two hands. People with disabilities inside the player community were rare, so the answer here ought to be an even number.

Should he write six or eight?

Or, ten was also possible?

A layer of cold sweat welled up on the man in red’s nose as if he had traveled back in time when he was still in school, re-experiencing being called to the blackboard by the teacher to do a problem and feeling the nervousness and embarrassment of answering it slowly.

However, if he had answered it wrong that time, the most the teacher would do was to berate him, and he would lose face.

But now, if he answered this incorrectly, then he’ll really turn into a dead man!

The man in red anxiously stared at the blackboard and would slightly turn his head to glance at Teacher Zhang from time to time, seeing that Teacher Zhang’s face was getting more and more ominous.

Finally, when Teacher Zhang was walking towards him, he squeezed the chalk in his hands and wrote down ‘6’ on the blackboard at lightning speed.

After writing this, he tried to control his breath, raising his head to see what Teacher Zhang’s expression was.

Teacher Zhang quietly stared at the answer for a moment, his mouth gradually pulling down, which made his face all the more terrifying.

Did he look displeased? Was he dissatisfied with this?

The man in red’s heart sank to a bottomless abyss.

As expected by everyone, Teacher Zhang harshly scolded him the next second, yelling, “Do you not have a brain? You can’t even answer such a simple problem! With this incapability of yours, you still dare to chatter away with your classmates in this classroom and not listen attentively to the lecture! I feel that you don’t need your brain at all!”

Teacher Zhang’s mouth heavily drooped down even more, making him look furious.

Yet, when Bai Yan looked at it upside down, he found that Teacher Zhang was clearly smiling from ear to ear. He exposed an evil grin, which was full of mal intentions. It was clear that he was extremely happy!

But because he bore the limitations of the dream, Teacher Zhang couldn’t immediately act on the man in red and was still abusing him, insincerely playing his role as the ‘irritable teacher.’

If this place were a classroom in the real world, then this scene would also have the majority of players reminiscing over their school days.

Many people were truly able to recall their childhoods upon hearing Teacher Zhang’s reprimanding.

However, Teacher Zhang soon stopped cursing him.

He suddenly turned his head sideways and asked fiercely, “Liu Xiyu, tell me! What will happen if someone can’t answer the problem correctly?”

Liu Xiyu timidly bowed her head like she was mimicking an ostrich. This was her consistent routine during classes. Even if it were a dream, she still acted the same. To her, it seemed like if she lowered her head, the fearsome teacher wouldn’t call on her to answer a question.

Hearing Teacher Zhang loudly call her name, she meekly lifted her head and answered cowardly, “Teacher, people who can’t answer a problem should be… pu— punished!”

Teacher Zhang nodded his head in satisfaction upon hearing Liu Xiyu’s response. He laughed spitefully and said to the man in red, “Did you hear her! Get out and stand!”

The classroom abruptly fell into silence as these words were stated.

From far away, everyone’s breaths in the classroom could be heard, rising and falling in uneasiness.

While on the platform, the man in red’s eyes turned bloodshot, him itching to throw himself at Liu Xiyu and viciously tear her apart!

This mini-game still wasn’t over, and if someone were to be dragged out of the classroom right now, would that person still live?

Getting his hand gorily chopped off would have been a better fate than this punishment. In any case, after returning to reality, the missing limb could still be restored.

But, Teacher Zhang would never give him this grim opportunity. Teacher Zhang stared at him with an evil grin on his face, obviously making up his mind.

The man in red knew that it was all downhill for him from now on. In an instant, wickedness was born from his gut as he opened his mouth to openly curse at Liu Xiyu, “You terrible b*tch! You’re only an NPC, but your mouth is so despicable! Daring to harm me, thinking that I wouldn’t kill you!”

He speedily went down the platform while swearing at her.

Seeing the outraged man in red rushing to hit her, Liu Xiyu immediately curled up in fear, quickly crouching down below her desk to hide from him.

On the other hand, seeing the man in red rush to Liu Xiyu in fit of fury, the other players immediately wanted to block him in prevention. He could cause trouble for everyone, making them all lose the game.

However, before any of the players could react, Teacher Zhang said in a booming voice——

“Fine… You won’t accept this? And, you still dare to threaten your classmate! Class monitor, student council member, drag him out!”

As Teacher Zhang’s stern voice fell, two ‘people’ suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the two empty seats.
