"Hehe, who would have thought I'd get the MVP. My strength exceeded my expectations."
After beating all the competition, Su Yuan couldn't help but feel a bit smug.
Of course, this doesn't mean his combat abilities are the best in the school. Most of the prominent figures in the school don't bother participating in the cafeteria competition.
Take Class 2 for example, students like Chen Nuoyi have the ability to effortlessly push aside all opponents, but she always goes to the cafeteria at a leisurely pace.
Players like Chu Lanxi who have strength, also find friends to get meals for them and don't participate personally.
Not to mention there are many affluent students who don't eat cafeteria food and instead dine out or order delivery.
Thinking of delivery, Su Yuan couldn't help but click his tongue.
You can't have deliveries while in school, which is such a shame. Otherwise, you could make a fortune from those students who don't treat money as money.
But no matter what, Su Yuan's progress is evident.
Just as he was holding his meal card and happily making his way to the cafeteria door to enjoy the fruits of victory, suddenly, a figure like a tower blocked Su Yuan's path.
Before Su Yuan could react to what was going on, the figure reached out an arm thicker than Su Yuan's thigh and grabbed Su Yuan by the scruff of his neck like a chick.
"Teacher Zhuge?"
Looking at Zhuge Tie's darkening expression, Su Yuan was a bit dumbfounded.
What's this about, had he ever offended this sports teacher before?
"You brat, swing the stick pretty fast huh!"
Zhuge Tie gritted his teeth, spitting words out one by one from between his teeth, clearly furious.
"The cafeteria competition is a race of speed, you win with these peculiar tricks! It's simply tainting the spirit of sports!"
Su Yuan: "..."
What the heck, since when is this connected with the spirit of sports?
Has there ever been a rule that says you can only rely on running to compete for cafeteria ranks?
And blocking me right before the finish line, isn't that against the rules?
Seeing the students he had left behind earlier rush into the cafeteria one by one, Su Yuan's heart was anxious, and he quickly resorted to pleading:
"Teacher Zhuge, it's midday, we're already here, let's just eat first."
"No, you have to go to the playground and run ten laps right now, supervised by me! I want you to understand what the spirit of sports means."
Zhuge Tie spoke coldly, completely unaffected by personal relationships, leaving Su Yuan shocked and pale.
Just then, a cold laugh echoed from nearby:
"Teacher Zhuge, you're shouting about your boring sports spirit again. Taking away my beloved student for personal reasons, not letting him eat, that's not setting a good example as a teacher."
Su Yuan and Zhuge Tie looked towards the source of the voice, seeing a beautiful teacher in a tight combat suit gracefully approaching.
"Teacher Li?"
The person was none other than Li Ziquan, Martial Arts Teacher for Class 2 of Senior Year Three.
However, what puzzled Su Yuan was that Teacher Li usually treated him quite indifferently, so why was she now proactively coming to his rescue?
"Teacher Li, this matter has nothing to do with you."
Zhuge Tie put Su Yuan back on the ground, his tone cold and hard.
Li Ziquan crossed her arms, first looking at Su Yuan with a kind expression, then with a disdainful look at Zhuge Tie said:
"Nothing to do with me? Just now Su Yuan showed such stunning martial arts, rare among all senior year three students, and you criticize him for winning the cafeteria contest with martial arts, is this disrespecting it?"
"After all, sports is something you can get a perfect score by simply brainlessly lifting iron, totally different from martial arts and Daoist skills which require technique."
Su Yuan understood, Teacher Li must have seen his exquisite stick technique—no, fork technique—and got a heart of cherishing talent.
Great, he is no longer alone without help.
Upon hearing Li Ziquan's words, Zhuge Tie's forehead immediately throbbed with veins:
"What did you say? And sports isn't as simple as you make it sound. Who are you to criticize?"
The two teachers disagreed immediately and began a battle of words.
If the passing students weren't in a hurry to grab food from the cafeteria, it would definitely have been surrounded by onlookers.
Su Yuan was sandwiched between the two teachers, dared not move, fearful of attracting fire.
He looked at the increasingly crowded cafeteria, his eyes full of reluctance.
Goodbye, limited dishes, goodbye to my cafeteria first-place honor!
No, he can't give up yet.
Suddenly, an idea struck in Su Yuan's mind; although he was intercepted by the two teachers, Chu Lanxi was about to arrive, he could let him get his meal.
With luck, maybe he could get the limited dish.
Su Yuan glanced around and quickly spotted the figure of Chu Lanxi among the crowd at the cafeteria door.
He hurriedly waved towards Chu Lanxi with the smallest possible movement.
Chu Lanxi from a distance seemed to notice, looked towards Su Yuan.
Su Yuan was delighted and just as he was about to communicate by eye contact, Chu Lanxi swiftly turned his head away, mixing into the crowd indifferently and entered the cafeteria.
What the heck, ignored! Afraid of being targeted by the teachers beside me?
Not loyal at all!
Su Yuan was so angry he rolled his eyes.
Suddenly, he heard a "ding" sound in his mind.
[Oh wow, only one day undercover at Taihua Sect, and two Righteous Sect Elders were conquered by the Yasashī you disguised yourself as? You are truly a sinful demon!]
What the heck, didn't the system determine the current world as Ancient Cultivation Era? Who understands Yasashī!
Moreover, I just want to use my skills to eat in the cafeteria, and these two teachers stopped me, what's it got to do with Yasashī? The system's slander has evolved to being entirely illogical?
[Due to your displayed exceptional talent, two sect elders intend to cultivate you further. This is your opportunity to infiltrate the higher ranks of Taihua Sect.]
[Demonic task has been updated]
[Task: Righteous Disciple]
[As a demon who deceitfully wins hearts, please adopt the demeanor of a devoted student, maneuvering between the sect elders, extracting their knowledge, and gaining more of their trust.]
[Task progress: Martial Arts Elder favorability (105/80) Body Refinement Elder favorability (50/80)]
Oh wow, a well-received favorability system?
The Martial Arts Elder and Body Refinement Elder should be referring to the Martial Arts Teacher and Sports Teacher, right?
Then why is Teacher Li's favorability towards me so high? It's exceeding the limit!
The task just got released and it's already halfway completed.
But that's not really a bad thing, the sooner the task is completed, the sooner the rewards are received.
So what is the reward for this task?
Considering everything produced by the system is guaranteed to be premium, I'll pretend I didn't hear the system's earlier offenses.
Su Yuan looked down eagerly towards the freshly updated task rewards, then his gaze froze.
[Task reward: Ancient Corpse Refining]
Must be the wrong opening method, looked again.
No issue, the task reward is indeed this.
Not a single character was mistaken!
Seems the dog system finally couldn't hide anymore; it's likely the previous tasks were just welfare to lure me in, now this is the true face of the demon system!
Moreover, how dare you system slander me just now, this can't be forgiven!
