Elsa said to a boy in front of her, "Lend the nutritional paste you got today."
The boy struggled to take out a can of nutritional paste. In his heart, he kept thinking of refusing, but his mouth betrayed him, "Elsa, if you want it, of course I'll lend it to you..."
Before he finished speaking, Elsa reached out and snatched the nutritional paste, gulping it down in a few big bites.
Elsa licked her pink lips and patted her chest, saying, "Don't worry, I'm not borrowing this nutritional paste for nothing.
Let tell you, all these years I've been by the side of my boss, learning from him how to deal with people and situations.
He's passed on all his secrets of success to and even praised for learning well! I've reached about seventy to eighty percent of his skill!"
The others beca curious.
"Who's this boss?"
"Is he really amazing?"
Elsa wanted to say Zhou Bai's na, but rembering his instruction, she covered her mouth and held back.
Zhou Bai's na was becoming increasingly ignored in human society, and most people in the base didn't know the real owner here was Zhou Bai.
Elsa could only say, "Anyway, he's a very successful person! The entire base was built by him!"
"I'm telling you, since I've always stuck by his side to learn, if you stick by , you'll learn the secrets to success from too."
"And if you lend a nutritional paste today, when I, Elsa, make it big in the future, you'll have a bright future ahead."
A girl couldn't help but say, "But the teacher said you've repeated a grade 8 tis already because you're too dumb and haven't graduated yet..."
Elsa widened her eyes, showing her canines, and angrily said, "Nonsense! Is it that I can't graduate? I just like school and want to attend more tis."
Then she started spouting a bunch of nonsensical things, like 'What's the point of studying so much', or 'Can't even learn how to show off', causing everyone to laugh, filling the crowd with a lively atmosphere.
Seeing everyone's laughter, Elsa got even angrier and shouted, "Lend all your nutritional paste!"
"From now on, if you give your food every day, I'll take care of you in school."
Elsa bared her canines and said, "Let tell you, Jing Xiu used to be a small role at my house, walking the cat, walking the dog, doing chores, and accompanying on walks every day. When she dies in the future, the position of principal will be mine, and everything will be under my command both inside and outside the school."
Although they were defiant of Elsa's words, under the influence of poverty and misery, one by one, the students inexplicably lent Elsa their nutritional paste, making her mouth greasy and her belly full.
While eating, Elsa said, "Take it slow, don't worry. We borrow and return, today you lend one, and in the future, I'll repay you tenfold..."
At this mont, Jing Xiu's shout ca, and Elsa imdiately stopped what she was doing, dropped her head down like dog ears, turned around to look at Zheng Wentian and Jing Xiu, and the students around scattered in all directions.
When she saw Zheng Wentian, Elsa exclaid, "Aren't you the big dog who always lent points to Zhou Bai? You're here to study too?"
Zheng Wentian, who was smiling just a mont ago, imdiately put on a stern face as he looked at the other side, feeling like he saw another Zhou Bai.
He looked at the nearby Jing Xiu and said, "The ethos of your school isn't good. I think students like this need to be punished severely."
Jing Xiu said to Elsa, "Elsa, in the past two months, you've repeated a grade eight tis, and each ti you've lagged behind your classmates. You still don't work hard, yet you're taking the crooked path?"
Elsa looked gloomily at Jing Xiu, drooped her tail, walked over, and said pitifully, "Teacher Jing, I really can't study; can you ask Zhou Bai to let drop out?"
Jing Xiu shook her head, "Zhou Bai specifically told that you need to at least finish junior high school."
Elsa anxiously said, "But others have charisma bonuses, I only have bargaining power, and I can't keep up with others!"
Jing Xiu said, "I know, but normal humans spend about nine years combined in elentary and junior high school. Even without charisma bonuses, as long as you work hard, you'll at most spend nine years before you graduate from junior high school."
"Nine years?!!" Elsa looked at Jing Xiu in disbelief, these two months have already put her through the wringer, feeling it's torturous.
Imagining these days lasting for nine more years, Elsa felt her future was bleak.
Elsa was troubled in her heart: 'Nine years? Nine years, my life might end, who can study for nine years?'
She sighed deeply with a somber expression, "Alas… my youth is over just like that…"
Jing Xiu waved a hand, "Stop lanting, hurry up and go to school."
After sending off the dejected Elsa, Jing Xiu turned to Zheng Wentian beside her and said, "Let show you around the school. Thanks to Zhou Bai's Nine Calamities and the Heavenly Demon's technology, we train a batch of reliable talents every 7 to 10 days."
"Each one of them will be the cornerstone of humanity's future developnt."
Saying this, Jing Xiu's eyes seed to sparkle with a crystalline light, full of hope for the future.
Beside her, Zheng Wentian frowned, still not understanding Jing Xiu's perspective. In his view, a race's future is determined by the strongest among them, while others rely go with the flow.
Seeing Zheng Wentian's expression, Jing Xiu could roughly guess what he was thinking, and it wasn't hard to figure out since past cultivators mostly held similar beliefs.
Jing Xiu asked, "Do you want to undo the restrictions in your Primordial Spirit adjustnt? That way, you might resist Heavenly Demon technology less."
Zheng Wentian showed a look of hesitation: "Better not. The Primordial Spirit adjustnt at least prevents spirit pollution and reduces the risk of mutation."
...
Next, Jing Xiu led Zheng Wentian to the preschool class. Here was the underground temple of the school, with walls lined with statues twisting their bodies in various ways, so lying, so crawling.
Looking up toward the ceiling, you could see large murals against the backdrop of the cosmic starry sky.
But in this cosmic starry sky were countless grotesque monsters, appearing as lumps of flesh, patches of sheer darkness, or countless amalgamations of human bodies… various monsters, utterly terrifying.
In the center of the murals was a golden humanoid figure standing tall as if suppressing all evil, subduing all the monsters.
rely walking through this temple would instill a sense of respect or even fear in an ordinary person.
Going deeper into the temple, Zheng Wentian saw rows of people lying on the ground, so motionless, others twisting their limbs while lying and crawling, their gaze sowhat vacant, yet with a hint of a blissful smile.
The sinister and gloomy surroundings added to the unspeakable eeriness.
Soone was standing at a podium, spreading teachings about Yuanshi Tianzun, narrating bizarre and deviant stories, making Zheng Wentian instinctively furrow his brows, "Are you promoting the Primordial Teachings here as well?"
Zheng Wentian knew about the Primordial Teachings from Donghua City, this newly rising organization claiming that joining them could resist mutations and avoid madness.
But he didn't expect to see the Primordial Teachings here too.
