CHAPTER 323: CHAPTER 321 EVIL CAPITALIST QIN LE YIN (PART 2)

"Huh?" The cute female student glanced at her broom and whispered, "But I still have to sweep the floor..."

"You’re not indispensable for sweeping. Leave the cleanup work to others. Your task now is to help me massage my shoulders. Do you know how?"

She softly replied, "I’ve massaged my parents..."

"Such filial piety, I’m touched." Leyu called out, "Come on, massaging shoulders can easily earn you sixty usual credits, isn’t that good? Or are you looking down on me?"

She blushed and shook her head repeatedly, no longer refusing, obediently walking behind Leyu to help him massage his shoulders.

This little episode abruptly silenced the laughter in the classroom. Everyone vaguely realized that perhaps every step of this cleanup from start to finish wasn’t as simple as they had imagined.

Sure enough, Leyu pointed at a particularly strong male student: "I’m a bit thirsty, could you bring me a glass of iced honey five-flower tea?"

"Iced honey five-flower tea?" The boy was dumbfounded: "Where do I get that?"

"It’s at the pig trough canteen, four coins a glass. Surely you don’t expect the teacher to pay for it?"

"But the pig trough is far from here!"

"I see your calves are strong, your Lingxu Battle Technique should be quite advanced now, right?" Leyu said leisurely, "If you utilize your Lingxu Battle Technique fully, you should be able to make a round trip to the pig trough within ten minutes. It’s terribly hot outside, you better hurry, it’d be best if the ice hasn’t melted when you return."

"I didn’t train my Lingxu Battle Technique to be a runner!"

"But you can use it for running errands... What, you don’t want to do it?"

"I don’t want to!" The boy shook his head vigorously.

"Alright then." Leyu turned his head to ask the female student massaging his shoulders behind him, "What’s his name... Dan Chixia, right? Deduct five usual points."

The boy’s expression didn’t change. If just losing five points could let him off the hook, he felt it was quite worth it.

But Leyu’s next sentence made his expression change dramatically: "Second inquiry — Mr. Dan Chixia, are you willing to help me buy a glass of iced honey five-flower tea?"

"I don’t want to!" Dan Chixia said firmly.

"Another five points deducted, you’re now left with fifty usual points." Leyu crossed his legs and said, "Before I ask a third time, I’d suggest you best consider whether other elective course teachers are as generous as I am."

"Though I’m not a student of the Imperial Academy, I know Imperial Academy teachers are known for being strict and demanding. With something as straightforward as running errands for credits like this, even the principal would weep... Mr. Dan Chixia, are you willing to help me buy a glass of iced honey five-flower tea?"

Dan Chixia’s face stiffened, but as Leyu said, such a teacher who gives out credits so easily was unique in the Imperial Academy. Other students madly signaled him not to refuse, someone even shouted, "Teacher, let me buy it! I’m willing!"

"Thank you, I appreciate your kind offer, but..." Leyu smiled, "In this matter, I still trust Mr. Dan Chixia more. I’m not randomly assigning this task; Mr. Dan Chixia’s Lingxu Battle Technique has my approval. Although he thinks I’m insulting him, I want him to understand that I’m merely testing his abilities through this challenge."

The way Leyu offered was too tempting to refuse, Dan Chixia instantly relaxed and nodded, "Alright, I’ll go buy it now."

"Thank you." Leyu snapped his fingers. After Dan Chixia left the classroom, he looked at his hands and exclaimed, "Oops, I forgot to trim my nails before heading out today. Umm, is there a lovely young lady here..."

"Me!"

"Please let me do it!"

Two female students eagerly volunteered. Leyu glanced at them, "Did you bring nail clippers?"

"I have!"

"I don’t have them, but I can use a combat technique to trim nails, that’s how I do mine."

"Excellent, Imperial Academy students are truly versatile." Leyu extended both hands to them, "Take one hand each and trim slowly, just help me smooth them out a bit, we still have over twenty minutes."

Everyone was stunned for a moment and then turned to look at the hourglass on the lecture platform, discovering the hourglass had barely leaked one-fifth; there was still a long way before the half-hour was over.

"What are you dawdling for," Leyu suddenly shouted, "Hurry up with the big cleanup, do you still want credits or not?!"

After saying this, he nonchalantly sat in the chair, enjoying the massage and nail-trimming services of three female students in full view, displaying an utterly unconcerned demeanor.

Many male students were furious enough to want to smash their brooms on the spot, but thinking about the sixty usual credits and that they only needed to last half an hour, they restrained themselves.

While Leyu appeared to calm down, conflict ignited in other areas.

"You three, chatting lazily during the cleanup." Qian Yuya walked up to a few students chatting in the corner, taking out a notebook and recording with a blank expression, "Each deducted five points."

"Huh? Sorry, I’ll start working right away, can you give me a chance?"

"No."

"Captain Qian, Sister Qian, we won’t do it again next time, please give us a chance, don’t deduct points, okay?"

"Harassing the captain, another five points deducted. If you talk again without working, you’ll be left with only forty-five points."

Upon hearing Qian Yuya’s calm pronouncement, those classmates immediately shut their mouths and went over to work, though they occasionally cast unfriendly glances at Qian Yuya.

With the captain patrolling around with a notebook, the work efficiency of Qian Yuya’s team suddenly doubled, completely different from other teams that were lazily going about their tasks.

However, Le Yin looked at Qian Yuya’s figure with a slight frown. But he said nothing, quietly enjoying his personal exclusive service.

By the time Dan Chixia had bought the Five-Flower Tea with iced honey, Qian Yuya’s team had already cleaned their area. Qian Yuya came over and asked, "Teacher Hongle, is there anything else you need? Should we help other areas complete their tasks faster?"

"No need, each team has their own tasks, you don’t need to help," Le Yin said. "It seems the classroom next door hasn’t been cleaned either. So, why don’t you take this time to sweep the floor of the classroom next door? As a reward for your high efficiency and heavy workload, everyone in your team will receive an additional five points on their regular score."

This way, they could earn five more points, and no one would refuse. Qian Yuya then led them to continue cleaning the next classroom.

By the time the hourglass ran out, the large classroom looked brand new, with all tables and chairs neatly arranged. The students looked at the tidy classroom and smiled contentedly.

"Teacher, we’ve finished cleaning!"

"This side is done too!"

"Very good, very good." Le Yin clapped his hands and said, "Thanks to everyone for their hard work. Now, should we proceed to the scoring phase immediately?"

Everyone was startled: "Scoring?"

Le Yin shrugged: "Since this is a cleanup that rewards regular points, at least we should check if you’ve put your heart into it, right? If we just randomly give scores, the principal would fly over and kill me."

Everyone thought what Le Yin said made sense, but for some reason, after a series of events earlier, they subconsciously felt a bit uneasy.

"First, my team’s responsible area—"

Le Yin walked to a table, wiped his middle finger across it, and showed everyone the dust on his fingertip: "The table isn’t clean enough, my team loses five points."

He stomped his foot, kicking up some dust on the ground: "The floor isn’t clean enough, lose another five points."

The students in Le Yin’s team were confused, suddenly losing ten points. But it didn’t matter, because next, others would be confused too—

"The table isn’t clean, the chairs have dust too, Ming Shuiyun’s team loses a total of ten points."

"There are footprints on the walls, and dust on the tables, Qin Yueshi’s team loses a total of ten points, oh, this little sister really embarrasses me..."

"Qian Yuya’s team... very good, very clean, no points deducted, your attitude is very serious, full of spirit, well done! Plus you cleaned the classroom next door, you can add another five points!"

Qian Yuya’s team cheered and said in unison, "Thank you, teacher!"

"But!" Le Yin suddenly switched tone: "Although I didn’t say it, I didn’t expect none of you to notice... I’m really too disappointed."

"Such a large lectern in front of you, and none of you thought to clean it. What happened to respecting teachers and valuing morals? What happened to etiquette? Is this the moral level of Imperial Academy students?"

"If the principal knew, the principal would want to hit someone!"

"Everyone, points reduced by half!"

Everyone was stunned, looking at Le Yin as he stepped onto the lectern. As they calculated, although most people could earn twenty to thirty points in this lesson, compared to the original promise of sixty points, it was clearly too little...

"What, aren’t you convinced?" Le Yin slapped the table and said: "Are the reasons for deduction fair? Ah? Are they fair!"

"Fair."

"Louder, I can’t hear you!"

"Fair!"

"Should you be deducted points? Is this score what you deserve? Answer me loudly if it is!"

"Yes!"

Le Yin looked over the crowd with authority, and the students under his gaze dared not meet his eyes.

He suddenly smiled broadly, clapping his hands and said: "Do you feel a bit unconvinced, but also think what I said seems reasonable? Do you think you didn’t do well enough, that’s why you didn’t get the full sixty points?"

"If that’s what you think, then you’re right—congratulations, you have entered the thinking domain of the Silver Blood Association."

Amidst everyone’s confused or suddenly enlightened gazes, Le Yin smiled and said: "The ruling method of the Silver Blood Association, to put it simply, is the same system I’m using, no complex regulations at all, once you see through it, it’s just like this, even I can do it."

"Really?" a classmate asked suspiciously: "Teacher, are you so confident?"

"Of course it’s true." Le Yin said calmly: "Because standing in front of you—"

"Is the president of the sixth chamber of the Silver Blood Association, the gravedigger of the Silver Blood Association, a capitalist who personally witnessed the prosperity and downfall of the Silver Blood Association, even played a vital role in it—Qin Family, Qin Le Yin!"
