Chapter 5 (2/2)
“Let’s check his answer.”
“It must be a random answer. I didn’t see him calculate at all…”
All the students in the cafeteria looked at him, wondering what the last place of the whole school had written.
Shen Zhe sweated hard, being the center of attention.
He didn’t expect that his face would be smacked in a game that he proposed…
“Wait… Isn’t the first page of my notebook capable of changing answers?”
Shen Zhe suddenly had an idea.
He had tested that the blank parts on the first page of his notebook could change answers. Since the real answer was already out, he could completely change the answer that he had just written…
As he thought quickly, the pencil in his head rose.
Huala!
After everything was done, the paper he just wrote on was opened.
“What’s this?”
Everyone was stunned as they checked the paper.
There were no written words or numbers; it was only a picture.
On the picture, there were thirty-seven coins with the tiniest details.
“In this… an illustration of the coins on the ground?”
“One, two, three, four… Twenty-two heads and fifteen tails…”
“The position of those coins is exactly the same as depicted by the picture…”
“That’s right. Even the dent on that coin has been drawn, and it’s in the identical position…”
…
Everybody’s eyes popped out as they looked at Shen Zhe as if he were a ghost.
It was already unbelievable to calculate the final status of the coins, but Shen Zhe had even calculated the exact landing points of those coins without any errors…
How did he do it?
Even Lu Chengze, first place of the grade, couldn’t have achieved that…
Not just them, Lu Zihan also trembled and almost went crazy.
He read the picture carefully and looked at the coins, shivering.
“Bro… Are you sure that you’re a bad student?”
“I can calculate the sides of the coins, but you have calculated the landing points of the coins and even illustrated them…”
“I’ll keep a distance from Ling Xueru in the future!” said Lu Zihan, who took a deep breath to calm himself down.
Even a fool would know that he had lost the game. It would be even more humiliating if he didn’t admit it. He gritted his teeth and left.
He felt lucky that Ling Xueru was not there. Otherwise, he would be too embarrassed to live anymore.
“Wait, don’t you need to compensate for the table you broke?” said Shen Zhe.
With his face cramping, Lu Zihan tossed a block of silver on the table. “This is worth three taels of silver. It should be enough…”
Then, he left the cafeteria in a hurry.
“Three taels of silver? This table is worth a hundred wen at most. Here’s a hundred wen. I’ll take the silver…” Shen Zhe then threw a hundred wen on the table.
One tael of silver equaled a thousand wen.
Having been there for three days, he was well aware of the prices for daily items. That ordinary table was worth a hundred wen at most.
Extravagance was not expected of a civilized young man.
Everyone’s faces cramped again.
“You’re from a major family, and you’re embezzling only a couple of taels of silver… Is it really worth it?”
“Shen Zhe, how did you get the answer?”
Zhao Chen and the rest surrounded him and asked him, their curiosity piqued.
The guy had been at the bottom of the school and bullied by everyone else just like them, but why had he improved so much in the blink of an eye?
It was too unbelievable!
“It’s just a lucky guess…” Shen Zhe waved his hand and dropped the topic. “Alright, it’s time I go back!”
“Back where? There are no classes in the afternoon. Aren’t you going out?”
Zhao Chen chuckled.
Generally speaking, there were only classes in the morning, and afternoons were given to the students to train themselves.
“Where to?”
“To play polo! I’m told that a few beautiful chicks have gone to the polo grounds. They’re very good…” Zhao Chen’s eyes glowed.
“I’ll pass. I have books to read…” said Shen Zhe.
He was interested in the game, but he had to weather through the difficulties first.
He was still under the threat of being beaten to death.
If Ms. Bai Yu found that his answer was wrong after the field trip, he would be doomed.
Besides, there was still a lot that he didn’t know about that world. He needed to get more knowledge in case he betrayed himself.
“You have books to read?”
Zhao Chen’s eyes bulged even wider.
He was surprised that his friend had defeated Lu Zihan, but he was frightened to hear his friend talk like that!
If the guy were really so fond of books, he wouldn’t have become one of the Four Gentlemen at all!
“I’m told that the library is full of gorgeous gals who love studying…” Wang Xiaofeng suddenly said.
“Oh…” Zhao Chen and Liu Pengyue, greatly enlightened, said, “Got it! Got it! You can go!”
“You’re unbelievable…”
Shen Zhe shook his head but didn’t explain himself. He walked to the library.
While their grades were terrible, they were indeed good friends to the former Shen Zhe.
It wouldn’t hurt if he could give them a hand in the future.
However, he had to make sure that he could survive first!
For survival, Shen Zhe had to become a good student!
…
While Shen Zhe was on his way to the library, a team of riders went to the gate of the school.
A middle-aged man got off from the horse and reached the gatekeeper.
“I am Shen Qing, butler of the Shen family. I’m here to meet Shen Zhe and give him some training resources…”
He presented an ID badge to the gatekeeper.
“You can come in!”
The gatekeeper waved his hand.
Shen Qing strode into the campus with the horse behind him.
