Chapter 65

At the villa entrance, Liu Ye and the driver stood there in a daze, watching the police cars roar past in front of them.

A light breeze shook a leaf loose from a tree and sent it drifting away before their eyes.

“Ye… I always thought you were pretty ruthless with us, but after today, I see you’ve actually been holding back,” the driver said blankly.

He was this ruthless even to his own people, let alone to them! Which meant they absolutely could not let him find out they were not human.

“Bro, what are you talking about? This really has nothing to do with me!”

Liu Ye felt like he had suffered the greatest injustice in all history. He was practically the White-Haired Girl, Qin Xianglian, and Ximen Qing all rolled into one. He clearly hadn’t done anything, yet somehow everyone had misunderstood him like this. This was just…

“Crap, bro! I didn’t get paid for the last two days!” Liu Ye suddenly remembered he still hadn’t received his wages for the past couple of days.

The driver stared at him in shock. Just how thick did someone’s skin have to be to say something like that?

“You bankrupted the man’s company, and you still want wages?”

“No, bro. First of all, the bankruptcy really has nothing to do with me. Second of all, that money is the result of my labor. It is the compensation I rightfully earned!”

Driver: “…”

This guy was obviously illiterate, so why did he have such a complete set of arguments when it came to this? Which heartless idiot had taught him all this?

“Achoo!”

In Black Cow Village, Guiwa rubbed his nose. For some reason, he had been sneezing all the time lately, and chills kept running down his back. Logically speaking, as a Fiend, he shouldn’t be able to catch a cold, right?

At the same time, in a secret base somewhere in Jingcheng.

A group of people were holding a meeting.

“This Labulaxi University… even that lousy name is a tongue twister. What do we do now? The rumors outside have already gone completely wild. If we say there is no such university now, there’ll definitely be chaos!”

When that happened, the people outside would only think they had secretly divided up the admission slots among themselves. They would never believe that the university didn’t exist.

“Then why not just build a university like that?”

A lazy voice sounded from the side. Everyone turned and saw a man in a white lab coat, his clothes covered in stains, speaking lazily.

He held a toy rabbit in one hand and a photograph in the other.

“But there’s one prerequisite. We have to bring this Liu Ye in as a professor.”

…

A few days later, in Huicheng Central Tower, Wang Xu put down the pen in his hand and rubbed the space between his brows.

“Wang Xu, the Heart Fiend failed. What do we do now?” From the corner of the room, a mass of shadow let out a sinister voice.

“Not entirely. After all, to a certain extent, the objective was achieved.”

Wang Xu looked at an icon on his phone. It was the very app the netizens had used to vote back then. As for the Heart Fiend, it no longer mattered.

With that man involved, getting things to this point was already decent enough.

This app had been specially made. Once downloaded, it could lie dormant in a phone indefinitely.

“Xu Fei has been captured by the Fiend Investigation Bureau. Find a way to get him over here. Right now, he’s the only one who knows anything about the Yin-Yang Illustrated Record.”

“That guy was captured by the Fiend Investigation Bureau. It won’t be that easy.”

The shadow spoke.

Wang Xu picked up the coffee on his desk and took a light sip.

“I heard the Fiend Investigation Bureau has been investigating something recently…”

The shadow paused, then let out an ear-piercing laugh.

“How sinister. All right, I’ll handle it now.”

With that, he vanished from the room.

After watching him disappear, Wang Xu turned his gaze to a photograph. The person in the photo was none other than Liu Ye.

…

A few more days passed. In the basement, the driver and the other two Fiends were searching through job postings.

By now, the basement was thick with smoke, and cigarette butts littered the floor.

“Bro, what do you think of this one? The benefits look pretty good.” Shadow Fiend had a cigarette hanging from his mouth as he brought over a document.

The driver glanced at it, then said with a look of disgust, “Forget it. Just look at that doomed face. If that kid goes there, he’ll jinx him to death on the spot! I’m telling you, benefits and pay are all secondary now. What we need to find is someone with a tough fate, got it?”

Shadow Fiend: “…”

Just as they were searching, Liu Ye came running down from upstairs, excited.

“Big Brother, Old Man, Ah Biao, I found a job!”

“You found a job? Doing what?” the Fiends asked in surprise.

“I’m going to Huicheng High School to be a teacher.”
The three Fiends: “…”

“You can’t even recognize all your characters, and you want to be a teacher? Can we not ruin the next generation?” the driver shouted.

“No, bro, how is that ruining the next generation? This is a golden opportunity for me to show off my talent!” Liu Ye said.

“If you had talent, would you have said Zhuge Liang fought the White Bone Demon seven times?” the driver said, speechless.

But then he saw the Old Man and the Shadow Fiend looking at him in surprise.

“Wasn’t he the one who fought her?”

The driver: “…”

What bootleg books have you people been reading?

“By the way, what subject are you teaching?” the Shadow Fiend asked curiously.

“Uh… I think it’s… right! Ying Kingdom history!” Liu Ye said.

The driver: “…”

“You haven’t even figured out Xia Kingdom history, and now you’re doing Ying Kingdom history? Do you know who Qiu Ji is?”

“…A chicken farmer?”

The driver covered his face.

“Where did you find this job? Don’t tell me someone scammed you.”

“Little System told me,” Liu Ye said.

“Little System?” The three Fiends looked at one another. Which poor unlucky bastard was that?

[…]

But no matter which unlucky bastard it was, anyone who could find Liu Ye a job was a good Fiend!

And in order to help him keep this job a little longer, the three of them unanimously decided to tutor Liu Ye!

Before they taught him history, they had to at least get him recognizing some characters.

“Come on, repeat after me. Ren zhi chu.”

“Ren zhi zhu!”

The driver: “…”

“Ren zhi chu!!”

“Who’s a pig?”

“I’m a pig…”

The driver covered his eyes and leaned against the wall.

“Bro, I won’t allow you to talk about yourself like that. You’re still very outstanding,” Liu Ye said seriously.

“Thanks… Like I needed you to comfort me!” the driver roared.

“Brother, calm down!” The Shadow Fiend hurriedly grabbed him.

“Let go! Today I swear I’ll-”

“Bro, you can’t beat him,” the Shadow Fiend whispered.

The driver: “…”

A few minutes later, the three-Fiend team held another meeting.

“This won’t work. At his pace, forget three days from now-even three more years would be pushing it,” the driver said, sprawled on the floor.

“Little Lü, I think you’ve fallen into a misconception,” the Old Man said.

“Oh? Explain,” the driver said.

“Actually, even if he can’t teach well, it doesn’t really matter…” the Old Man said, stroking his beard meaningfully.

The driver thought for a moment, then suddenly understood.

“I get what you mean. Ah Biao, let’s go threaten the principal.”

Bang!

The Old Man fell to the floor.

“Stop!!!!”

The Old Man hurriedly blocked the two Fiends, who were about to leave at once.

“No, what good would threatening the principal do? The key issue right now is the kids!”

Hearing that, the driver looked a little troubled.

“If we’re threatening the kids… isn’t that workload a bit much?”

The Old Man: “…”

“I mean, make sure he knows how to manage kids. As long as he can control them and they all listen to him, do we still need to worry about him getting fired?”

“Makes sense!”

And so, the three Fiends pulled three all-nighters and wrote Liu Ye a Teacher’s Bible-illustrated, with pinyin-and also made him watch movies related to education.

Three days later, Liu Ye arrived at Huicheng High School.

[Ding! Fixed Mission commencing.]

The System’s weak, listless voice rang in his ear.

[Mission: Huicheng High School]

[Mission Objective 1: Do not harm the students inside, or any teaching staff… Of course, if you really do harm them, there isn’t much I can do about it.]

[Mission Objective 2: Do not damage the school buildings. After all, repairing them is pretty troublesome.]

[Mission Reward: Points… never mind, you won’t get them anyway. Other rewards… I’ll decide when the time comes.]

Because Liu Ye’s level was too high, these missions were all too low-level for him, so he could not receive any points or experience.

Liu Ye: “…”

He felt like this Little System had misunderstood him. Why did it make him sound like he had a bad temper? He was clearly a very kind and gentle person.

Although he was very grateful to System for introducing him to a job, that still didn’t mean it could insult his character like this.

Feeling a little hurt, Liu Ye entered the school. Following the System’s directions, he arrived at the check-in area.

There was no helping it. If the System did not tell him where to go, who knew where this guy might end up.
