Chapter 71
Chapter 71
When they arrived outside, they finally noticed that the once-flat sports field had been turned into a pitted mess. There was even barbed wire set up all around it.
“Brother Guiwa once told me that as humans, we must have strong bodies and indomitable spirits. So the content of this exam is… crossing a minefield!”
The Fiends: “…”
No, Teacher, listen to yourself. Does that sound like something a human would say?
We might not be human, but you are definitely a dog!
“Last night, your teacher buried more than ten thousand landmines here! Of course, don’t worry, everyone. Their explosive power is very small. They won’t hurt you!”
Where did you even get that many landmines?! Is that something a teacher can get their hands on?
Yeah, sure, they won’t hurt us-we’ll just be gone outright! Nothing you say is convincing at all!
“Don’t worry, everyone. This exam is something I could easily pass when I was three years old. It’s very simple, just a test of your basic ability. No need to be nervous.”
What kind of beast could cross a minefield at three years old?! Are you sure you’re really human?!
“Wait! There’s no need to be scared! We’re Fiends! Why would we be afraid of landmines?” one Fiend suddenly said.
“Exactly! We don’t have any weight, so we won’t trigger them at all!” another Fiend said in delight.
“Looks like we’ll make it through safely this time!” yet another Fiend said with a sigh of relief.
“No, wait…” Yellow Hair felt it couldn’t possibly be that simple and was just about to stop them. But then he saw the three Fiends step forward.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three explosions rang out, and three tattered Fiends appeared before them.
The Fiends: “…”
Incidentally, these were Yin Fiend Mines, produced by Black Cow Village and generously sponsored by a certain Fiend. Not a single Fiend who’s used them has ever said they were good!
“Why didn’t we sense any yin energy at all?!” one Fiend said, breaking down.
“If you could sense it, would it still be called a landmine?” Yellow Hair said faintly.
And just as they were standing there in a daze, they heard a burst of rat-tat-tat sounds!
A stream of golden objects came flying at them, and the Fiends who were hit instantly let out shrill screams.
Looking closely, Liu Ye was standing off to the side, holding a machine gun and spraying bullets at them.
“Hurry up and take the exam! Otherwise, there will be punishment!”
The Fiends: “…”
And you still claim to be human? You don’t do a single thing even remotely related to humanity!
But what could they do? Nothing. They could only run forward.
The result was… boom boom boom boom!
After a long chain of explosions, only a little over twenty Fiends managed to stagger through the minefield in a sorry state.
“Very good. As expected of my students, you’ve passed this subject! Hm? Why are there so many fewer people again? Where did they all go? Skipping the exam, are they? Just wait until they come back. I’ll show them.”
The Fiends: “…”
So you really won’t even let them off after their souls have scattered, huh?
“All right, the remaining students can come take the second exam!”
The Fiends: “There’s more???”
By the time all the exams were over, only a dozen or so Fiends remained in the class. Yellow Hair and the others gathered together and quickly discussed the situation. They felt they couldn’t go on like this. If things continued this way, they would definitely die! Even if they didn’t die, they would be better off dead!
So they decided to move their plan up immediately!
Yellow Hair’s eyes darted, and he immediately walked over with a beaming smile.
“Teacher, now that the exam is over, how about we go have a meal?”
“Sure. But Teacher doesn’t have any money.”
Yellow Hair: “…”
“It’s our treat.”
“Heh, then I’d feel bad about that. Hehehehe. Let’s go!” Liu Ye said with a smile.
Yellow Hair and the other Fiends: “…”
Before long, the group arrived at the cafeteria on the North Campus.
The instant they stepped inside, a powerful wave of yin energy swept over them, corroding Yellow Hair and the others’ bodies.
The previously noisy group fell silent at once.
If not for Liu Ye, they might never have set foot in this place.
In the kitchen, a Chef with a pig’s head was busily working away. A few people were already seated at some of the tables.
They sat there with deranged expressions, shoveling food from their bowls into their mouths. Even though their stomachs were swollen high, they still refused to stop.
“A-another bowl!”
One man finished the food in his hands and immediately rushed to the cafeteria window, shouting.
“As you wish!”
Pig-Head Chef snapped his fingers, and the man, who had originally been rather handsome, instantly became hideous to look at.
But the male student didn’t care in the slightest. Holding the soup Pig-Head Chef had given him, he giggled foolishly, then looked warily at the others before quickly returning to his seat and continuing to devour it.
This was one of Huicheng High School’s seven unbelievable legends-the Delicious Cafeteria!
Legend had it that in the old campus of Huicheng High School, there was a cafeteria whose food was incredibly delicious. Anyone who ate food from this place would find all other food as tasteless as wax, unable to ever eat anything else again.
But eating here was not that simple. You had to pay a price.
And that price was something the person possessed.
A conscience, family, appearance, future, and so on-anything could be used in exchange.
“Teacher, just go over and order whatever you want,” Yellow Hair said with a beaming smile.
Liu Ye didn’t stand on ceremony and walked straight over.
Pig-Head Chef glanced in Liu Ye’s direction, then lowered his head and kept chopping vegetables. But as he chopped, he suddenly sensed something was wrong. He jerked his head up and looked at Liu Ye.
At that moment, Liu Ye also noticed Pig-Head Chef. He froze for a second, and then tears came pouring out of his eyes.
“Second Uncle!!!”
The Fiends: “…”
It was over. They had walked right into the line of fire. This damn guy was actually his relative.
Pig-Head Chef looked utterly panicked. He flung the apron he was wearing at Liu Ye, turned around, and bolted madly toward the kitchen’s back door.
But he was fast, and Liu Ye was faster. Liu Ye grabbed him in a hug.
“Second Uncle! Why are you running? It’s me, your nephew!!!” Liu Ye cried as he clung to Pig-Head Chef.
Pig-Head Chef cried too.
“No, how did you get out of the village?”
Back when they had tried to leave the village, these Fiends had practically beaten each other’s brains out, and in the end, he had emerged victorious.
He had thought that he would finally never have to see this menace again for the rest of his life. Who could have imagined that after only a few peaceful years, he would run into him again?
“Well, everyone in the village started having second children, so there wasn’t enough room anymore. I came out to find work,” Liu Ye answered honestly.
Pig-Head Chef: “…”
Those bastards were having second children? They weren’t even the same species. What the hell were they giving birth to?
“Second Uncle, you’ve been gone all these years. How come you never thought to send a letter home? Third Uncle misses you so much he’s almost gone crazy.”
Pig-Head Chef: “…”
