Qin Siyang, who didn't want to have any more entanglement with Li Jingwen, had long lost his patience.
Every extra word he said to Li Jingwen made him feel like he was degenerating.
Since ordinary words couldn't make Li Jingwen, that slow - witted zombie, understand his attitude, he might as well be more direct, like using a howitzer.
Now, she should clearly know that Qin Siyang was no longer the docile lapdog who always obeyed her.
Watching Li Jingwen's changing and increasingly ugly expression, Qin Siyang felt extremely relaxed.
This time, his words had finally worked.
He strode towards the classroom.
Sure enough, Li Jingwen didn't pester him anymore and walked slowly behind alone.
Qin Siyang looked back at her. She didn't even dare to meet his eyes and just stared at the tiled path in front of her, lost in thought.
Qin Siyang happily entered the classroom, found his own corner, plopped down, and started another day of daydreaming.
However, he didn't expect that Li Jingwen wouldn't end their entanglement just like that.
To be precise, his relationship with Li Jingwen had come to an end.
Now, it was the beginning of the feud between the people around him and Li Jingwen.
Things were developing beyond Qin Siyang's expectations.
When Li Jingwen entered the classroom, her face was as ugly as an eggplant smeared with sauce.
Seeing this, her best friends immediately surrounded her and asked about what had happened.
"Jingwen, what's wrong with you?"
"Yes, you seem to be in a really bad mood. Didn't you sleep well last night?"
Li Jingwen was good - looking and had some tricks up her sleeve. She had always been the core of their small circle.
Now that she was getting close to Zhou Yang, and Zhou Yang's uncle had awakened sequence abilities, she had become the only queen in the circle.
Li Jingwen gritted her teeth and said resentfully, "How did Qin Siyang know about my relationship with Zhou Yang?!"
Her best friends were also stunned.
How did this blockhead Qin Siyang suddenly come to his senses?
There was hatred in Li Jingwen's eyes. "He couldn't have known this! His sudden 180 - degree change in attitude towards me must mean someone told him!"
"Could it be that one of you, jealous of my good fortune, secretly told Qin Siyang about this?"
Li Jingwen scanned her best friends with a venomous look in her eyes.
But her friends just looked at each other, all looking innocent.
"Jingwen, you know I've never said a word to Qin Siyang."
"Jingwen, I'm so ugly and can't compare with you. I'll rely on your help in the future. How could I undermine you?"
"Yes, Jingwen, maybe you're wrong. We all support you. What good would it do us to tell Qin Siyang about your business? We can't even finish our homework. Haven't we suffered enough?"
Listening to her friends' pleas, Li Jingwen nodded. She really didn't think her group of best friends had any motivation to tell Qin Siyang.
They were also beneficiaries of her taming Qin Siyang. There was no need for them to do something that would harm others without benefiting themselves.
"Whoever it is, I hope I never find out!"
One of Li Jingwen's best friends was worried. "Don't worry about that snitch for now. Jingwen, how are you going to get close to Zhou Yang by comparing answers now? You know our level of doing homework. We all rely on you and can't really help."
"Yes, and the breakfast you used to send to Zhou Yang is gone. You know our family conditions. We can't provide breakfast for Zhou Yang for you."
"Right, we sometimes can't even afford breakfast for ourselves. We really can't spare an extra portion for you. You'd better think of a way yourself."
Before Li Jingwen even asked them, her best friends quickly distanced themselves and told her they couldn't provide any substantial help.
Li Jingwen just sneered contemptuously at her friends' behavior of only wanting to take advantage of her without any willingness to contribute. She didn't answer.
She had long stopped caring about these so - called best friends in her heart. After she married Zhou Yang, she would definitely cut off all relations with them. Now she just needed them to offer advice, so she hadn't torn the relationship apart.
Li Jingwen's sneer made her friends feel a bit guilty, and they didn't dare to meet her eyes.
"Alright, I know your family conditions aren't good. I'll think of a way about the breakfast."
"That's great! Jingwen, you mustn't let a promising young man like Zhou Yang slip through your fingers!"
"Yes, Jingwen. With your good conditions, you're sure to be with Zhou Yang!"
Li Jingwen was the most good - looking and the most capable of handling things among them. If she could get together with Zhou Yang, they might also get some benefits.
"If you're with Zhou Yang, you might be able to leave this lousy place at the edge of the safe zone and rise to the top!"
As soon as this girl finished speaking, another girl beside her tugged at her and gave her a disgusted look, as if scolding her for speaking without thinking.
They were going to live at the edge of the safe zone for the rest of their lives. If Li Jingwen, their important connection, left and moved elsewhere, how could they seek her help?
Li Jingwen ignored her friends' petty thoughts.
Everyone had their own plans. No one was a fool.
Li Jingwen would never let go of the opportunity to leave the edge of the safe zone. This was the education she had received since childhood.
It wouldn't change because of a few words from her so - called best friends.
However, the problems raised by her friends were indeed worth considering.
What about the breakfast and homework? Without these two things, what excuse could she find to get close to Zhou Yang?
Zhou Yang wasn't like Qin Siyang, an orphan who had never seen the world. His family was one of the wealthiest in the school. Even the principal would greet him warmly when they met.
Li Jingwen, who was good at studying boys' psychology, knew that she couldn't just throw herself at Zhou Yang. Doing so would only make Zhou Yang dislike her.
But she really couldn't think of a reliable way to solve the current problem for the moment.
Li Jingwen gritted her teeth. "Damn Qin Siyang!"
"If I catch that snitch, I'll tear her mouth apart!"
Qin Siyang, sitting in the last row of the classroom, naturally didn't care about Li Jingwen's business anymore.
Now, he just felt extremely relaxed.
This feeling of relaxation didn't last long.
Because he thought of Liu Dazhi again.
"Damn worm."
Qin Siyang cursed. Suddenly, he remembered that he should go to the library to sort out the books.
Anyway, he had nothing to learn, so he might as well go to the library.
Qin Siyang went to the library.
"Ms. Zhu, I want to continue working in the library to manage the books. Is that okay?"
The person in charge of the library was a kind - looking retired female teacher who had been re - employed by the school as the librarian.
It was called a library, but in fact, there were only three rows of bookshelves and a few small tables. It was just set up to cope with the inspection from the education department. There weren't many useful books in it, and not many students came to borrow books.
Ms. Zhu felt sorry for Qin Siyang's situation and offered him this poorly - paid job, hoping to improve his life to some extent.
In Qin Siyang's memories of both his past and present lives, Ms. Zhu was one of the few bright spots in his lonely school life.
"Sure, as long as you're willing to do it, I'll always keep this job of sorting books in the library for you."
"Thank you, teacher!"
"Go and do your own thing first. Come here after lunch and just do a little sorting."
Qin Siyang looked around the library. There were only one or two students, and there wasn't much to sort. So he nodded and decided to leave.
"Okay, I got it. See you at lunch, teacher."
"Study hard and don't slack off. Maybe you can get into a college."
"Yes, I'll try my best."
After saying goodbye to Ms. Zhu, Qin Siyang returned to the classroom, planning to daydream through the class again.
However, after listening to what the teacher was saying, he realized that this class was different from the previous ones.
Today's class was a bit more interesting.
It wasn't about the outdated knowledge anymore.
Instead, it was about filling out the college entrance examination application forms.
Qin Siyang was already in his senior year of high school and would take the college entrance examination in half a year. So the teachers had dedicated a whole day to talk about filling out the application forms.
However, in Qin Siyang's class, no one had any hope of getting into a higher - level institution. So in his opinion, this kind of class was still meaningless and a complete waste of time.
"Classmates, you'll take the college entrance examination in half a year, and then you'll fill out the application forms and choose the colleges established by the United Government to apply to."
"The United Government has established only a few colleges in our safe zone, a total of eight. The competition in the college entrance examination is extremely fierce. It's basically like thousands of troops trying to cross a single - plank bridge."
"Although most of you probably won't be able to get into these eight colleges and will start your lives in various places in the safe zone after graduating from high school, I still think it's necessary to take this opportunity to tell you about the colleges."
"First of all, these eight colleges are for ordinary people like us. Sequence ability users can't apply to these eight colleges."
Hearing this, Qin Siyang was a bit confused.
He didn't know much about college admissions.
He had just learned that the colleges were only open to ordinary people.
Did that mean sequence ability users couldn't go to school after graduating from high school?
What would he do in the future then?
He had to figure this out.
So he immediately raised his hand.
"Qin Siyang, do you have a question?"
"Teacher, if someone is a sequence ability user, do they have to go hunting gods after graduating from high school?"
The teacher stared at Qin Siyang with disgust. "I'm talking about the college entrance examination application forms that are relevant to you. Why are you talking about sequence ability users who have nothing to do with you? Sit down!"
Qin Siyang was asking about something closely related to himself, so of course he wouldn't give up. He ignored the teacher and continued to ask, "What if someone among us awakens sequence abilities before the college entrance examination? Maybe one of the classmates will be that lucky!"
"What if? There's no such what - if!"
No student in this school had ever awakened sequence abilities. The teacher thought it was a bigger waste of time to explain about sequence ability users than to explain about filling out the application forms.
Maybe the top student in the class still had a chance to go to college through the college entrance examination. But no one in the class had any hope of becoming a sequence ability user.
Because some things were just fate. In the past five years, among thousands of students and their parents in the school, no one had awakened sequence abilities. How could there be a change in his class?
However, the teacher's experience didn't represent the students' thoughts.
For the students, they still had some hopes for the future. And since students had less experience of the harshness of society, they were often over - confident. So Qin Siyang's words also gave the students some ideas.
Just because it hadn't happened before didn't mean they didn't have a chance to be the lucky ones!
So they all echoed Qin Siyang. "Teacher, please tell us!"
"Yes, teacher. Maybe we can really awaken sequence abilities!"
"That's right. Zhou Yang's uncle suddenly awakened sequence abilities!"
"Can you compare yourselves with Director Zhou?!" The teacher was very angry looking at the students with such wild ideas.
Zhou Yang's uncle was the director of the education department in the nearby area. He was not an ordinary person. It was reasonable for him to awaken sequence abilities.
The proportion of officials in the United Government departments who awakened sequence abilities was relatively high.
But the students still wouldn't give up and insisted that he tell them where sequence ability users went after the college entrance examination.
Seeing that the students' emotions were getting more and more excited and he couldn't continue his class, the teacher chose to compromise.
He had no choice but to say helplessly, "In addition to the eight colleges for ordinary people, the United Government has also established hundreds of universities for sequence ability users. These universities are only open to students who awaken sequence abilities before the college entrance examination, and they only have one chance to apply."
As soon as he finished saying these two sentences, the classroom erupted again.
"Hundreds? Did I hear that right?!"
"There are hundreds of schools for sequence ability users, but only eight for us ordinary people?!"
"This is so unfair!"
"Quiet! Quiet! If you don't be quiet, I won't talk anymore!"
The teacher sternly restored order in the class and gave Qin Siyang, the instigator, a disgusted look again.
But Qin Siyang completely ignored the teacher's warning and was very excited to listen.
This was the first time he had heard about the higher - level institutions for sequence ability users.
He thought the only destination for sequence ability users after awakening was to go hunting gods outside the safe zone. He didn't expect they could continue their studies!
Sure enough, there was already an education system for sequence ability users in this world!
But why hadn't he seen any posts about sequence ability users going to school on [Godslaying Camp]?
Qin Siyang temporarily suppressed his doubts and continued to listen to the teacher's explanation.
"Sequence ability users will also take an assessment similar to the college entrance examination, organized by the Sequence Ability Users Administration Bureau. It tests their sequences and skills, and then a score is given."
"After getting this score, they can apply to their preferred universities. If a university is willing to admit them, they can go to the university to continue their studies."
"Alright, it's useless for me to tell you too much. If anyone of you is curious, you can go to the [Sequence Education] forum to check. There are many relevant posts."
Qin Siyang suddenly understood.
So he had been looking at the wrong forum.
No wonder there were only posts about god - hunting on it.
If he had the chance in the future, he must check out this forum.
[Sequence Education] forum? He could try to look at it the next time he went to the Internet café.
Oh, no. He couldn't go to the Internet café anymore.
The hateful image of Liu Dazhi appeared in his mind again.
Qin Siyang was so fixated on Liu Dazhi.
So fixated that he had imagined countless ways for Liu Dazhi to die.
He couldn't wait to put his plan into action.
