Chapter 3: Your Greatest Pride Is Sharing a School with Me!

“Possessed, possessed! The principal must be under some spell!”
The entire assembly of teachers and students snapped out of their daze at Qin Ning’s words, suddenly believing the principal was bewitched—how else could he behave so abnormally?
Wasn’t the script reversed?
Yet Qin Yiran remained solemn, gazing at the crowd below as he continued:
“Students, teachers, I know you must be very curious why I suddenly hold Chen Yufeng in such high regard today—even to the point of currying favor, am I right?
I am not under any spell, my mind hasn’t been kicked by a donkey, and I’m not speaking nonsense.
Let me put it this way: forging a good relationship with Chen Yufeng now is preparing in advance to connect with a future titan.
I am certain that the achievements Chen Yufeng will soon create will make him the foremost figure in five thousand years of our nation’s history.”
His words triggered another uproar among the teachers and students.
Heavens—
The principal could utter such declarations, claim he isn’t possessed or mad, and even say “foremost in five thousand years”?
Isn’t that a little too exaggerated?
Isn’t it a bit too absurd?
As the crowd buzzed with incredulity and speculation, Chen Yufeng, who had stood calmly atop the red flag platform, coughed lightly, then patted Qin Yiran on the shoulder, nodding:
“Not bad. Keep working hard, your future is bright.”
Qin Yiran looked thrilled, as if honored beyond measure, replying excitedly: “Thank you, thank you for your approval, President Chen. I’ll count on your guidance in the future.”
“Mm.”
Chen Yufeng gave him an approving glance, then slowly descended the stage and stopped before Qin Ning, gazing at her with a subtle expression:
“Class beauty, campus beauty, daughter of the Qin family—remember this: your father has promised you to me.”
“It’s not that you don’t want to be with me; it’s that I don’t care to marry you. But, considering your father is decent, I won’t be too harsh.”
“How about this: when you become a queen of pop or a movie superstar, perhaps I’ll grant you a chance to be my maid—wash my feet, massage my back, and so on.”
“You… who do you think you are? You’re nothing but a caterpillar, do you really believe you’ll turn into a dragon?”
Qin Ning was utterly dumbfounded—where did this nobody get the audacity to speak to her this way?
“Heh, I am Chen Yufeng. See the sun in the sky? Well… cherish the days you bask in sunlight, for soon it will vanish, eclipsed by my own brilliance.”
His words, unsurprisingly, sent the crowd into another uproar.
Truly, he opened his mouth and spoke whatever he pleased!
Where did this guy get the confidence to spout such bold claims?
Honestly, he’d better pray it doesn’t rain today—lest lightning strike him for his arrogance!
“Haha, I am indeed showing off!”
Seeing their reactions, Chen Yufeng felt a secret thrill—finally, he could hold his head high and boast to his heart’s content.
Ding—
At that moment, a system notification sounded in his mind:
Show-off successful. Quality: low. Reward points: 3. Would you like to redeem items from the store?
“Damn, only low quality? Just 3 points? Little fairy, what can I get for 3 points? Show me.”
With a thought, Chen Yufeng opened the Divine Disk Store.
Wow, amazing!
There were so many items in the store—dazzling, overwhelming. Whatever he thought of instantly appeared before him, with clear prices and descriptions.
Things like Dice of Desire, skills to instantly bring bad luck…
Ten-minute abilities: X-ray vision, invisibility, true sight, combat boost, genius mode, superhero mode…
And the option to grow three centimeters anywhere on his body for ten minutes…
“Wow, there are so many things to exchange, and they actually look pretty interesting.”
Chen Yufeng read the attributes by each item with growing excitement, itching to try them all.
But he only had 3 points—just enough to exchange for one function or item.
Since it was his first time using the system, he was a bit nervous, struck by a bout of indecisiveness.
He mentally consulted the artifact spirit: “Little fairy, any advice? What should I redeem?”
“Hey, hey, you’re not in any danger right now. Why not use those three centimeters below, boost your confidence a little!”
“You… you mean my… is small? I’m plenty robust, thank you! How could you offer such wicked advice to someone as pure as me… Fine, I’ll try it then.”
“Are you sure?”
“Oh no, I was joking. Let’s try growing it on my right pinky instead.”
Chen Yufeng thought, what good would it do to grow it below now? If something went wrong and his little brother got ruined, who would he turn to?
Better to try it on his finger and see how it works.
As his intention settled, his right pinky began to swell and ache slightly; after three or four seconds, the pain vanished completely, and his finger had indeed lengthened by two or three centimeters.
Whoa!
The effect was instant and real—no exaggeration!
So the little fairy wasn’t deceiving him: the Divine Disk, the show-off, face-slapping, item exchange system—all of it was real.
Absolutely exhilarating!
After his excitement, Chen Yufeng didn’t linger on the field; under the astonished gaze of the entire school, he strode away with effortless confidence.
“Yu… Yufeng, wait…”
He hadn’t gone far when his homeroom teacher, Zheng Mingjie, hurried after him, running excitedly to his side with a fawning expression, stammering:
“Yu… Yufeng, teacher… is it too late for me to latch onto your coattails?”
Even Principal Qin Yiran now valued Chen Yufeng so highly, openly currying favor.
What did that mean?
Judging by Qin Yiran, he was perfectly sane—not mad or foolish—and even advised him to hurry and latch onto Chen Yufeng.
Or he’d regret it.
So, once Zheng Mingjie figured things out, he decided that—whatever happened, whether it was hope or following the principal’s advice—he would make sure to curry favor with this student in advance.
If the principal was right and the student really soared to success, he could bask in reflected glory.
“Uh… well…”
Chen Yufeng grinned at him. He wasn’t petty or unreasonable, though Zheng Mingjie’s attitude toward underachievers wasn’t friendly—often using him as a negative example.
But he truly was dragging the class down with his poor grades, and given their teacher-student relationship, he decided not to embarrass Zheng Mingjie, merely patting his shoulder and saying lightly:
“Mm… keep working hard. In the future, my brilliance will shine on you.”
He looked just like a leader encouraging his subordinate.
Yet Zheng Mingjie showed no dissatisfaction—instead, he beamed: “Thank you, Yufeng—oh, no, President Chen! Please look out for me in the future.”
“Sure, no problem. Here, bring me some paper and a pen—I’ll sign my name for you in advance.”
“Thank you, thank you, President Chen!”
Nodding vigorously, Zheng Mingjie quickly produced paper and pen, respectfully handing them to Chen Yufeng, who casually signed his name.
Holding the signed paper, Zheng Mingjie seized the moment to flatter:
“Thank you for your autograph, President Chen. I’ll treasure and protect it—from now on, this paper is no longer ordinary, but the pride of my family!”
“Well, you certainly have the right attitude!”
Chen Yufeng watched him, amused—his flattery was truly impressive.
Ding—
Meanwhile, the system’s notification sounded again: Show-off successful. Quality: low. Reward points: 3.
Though it was only another 3 points, Chen Yufeng was delighted.
Showing off on a whim brought him pleasure and points to exchange for items—it couldn’t get better.
But the system’s ceaseless notifications were a bit annoying.
Thinking of this, he mentally addressed the artifact spirit:
“Little fairy, could you stop reminding me all the time? It’s irritating—I know how to check my rewards and redeem items myself.”
“Sure, no problem. Since you ask, goodbye!”
With that, the little fairy’s figure flickered and vanished into the Divine Disk.
The Divine Disk resided in Chen Yufeng’s mind—he could summon it with a thought, and use his mind to check rewards and exchange items.
“Yufeng, I’m the Dean of Instruction. If you achieve greatness someday…”
“Yufeng, I’m the math teacher. If you succeed…”
“Yufeng, I’m the language teacher. If you shine…”
In the ensuing moments, with Qin Yiran and Zheng Mingjie leading the way, several other teachers rushed over as if brainwashed, eager to curry favor with Chen Yufeng. He was soon overwhelmed.
Thus, what was originally a commendation ceremony became a gathering to curry favor with Chen Yufeng.
The students were left bewildered, unable to make sense of it all.
Had the teachers collectively lost their minds?
Chen Yufeng was annoyed by all the attention and decided to leave.
Before departing, he raised his head high, pointed to the sky, exuding invincible confidence, and declared to the entire assembly:
“Students, teachers, soon you will understand—because of me, Sixth High will shine and become the world’s most renowned school. Your greatest pride in this life will be sharing a campus with me!”
