I'm a senior in high school, and the Emperor Development System has arrived!

Chapter 110 Surely a person can't give up money for the sake of dignity?

The two men froze, nearly dropping their plates.

Li Bin's gaze swept over Wu Di's delicate yet aloof face with a complex expression.

He looked at Chen Zhou, lowered his voice, and spoke in a sorrowful tone:
"Damn it, this guy's eating really well. Why aren't any pretty girls asking me to do this kind of thing?"

Stephen Chow's words were filled with heartache and disbelief:
"It's fallen! It's fallen!! Pork knuckle actually... actually..."

Li Bin turned his head and glanced at Zhou Xinglun; Zhou Xinglun covered his eyes with his hands and shook his head.

In that instant, the two reached an agreement—

Don’t understand, but respect.

Chen Zhou was overjoyed at his unexpected windfall, unaware that the two people had actually pinned such a label on him.

Seeing the two approaching, Chen Zhou looked up and said cheerfully:
"You're back. Please have a seat."

Noticing the way the two were looking at Wu Di, Chen Zhou explained:
"This is Wu Di."

Hello, junior!

Li Bin and Zhou Xinglun carried their trays and moved to the table.

Their eyes darted back and forth between the cheerful Chen Zhou and Wu Di, who exuded an aura of "keep away."

Wu Di nodded, glanced at them with the same look he gave his lackeys, and then said:
"Hello."

Li Bin and Zhou Xinglun sat down, but their eyes remained fixed on Wu Di, filled with silent inquiry and respect.

From any perspective, anyone who could subdue Chen Zhou in such a short time must be no ordinary person.

Although money was spent.

But isn't financial power the same as real ability?

Ignoring the fascinating expressions on their faces, Wu Di raised his chin, gesturing for Chen Zhou to look towards the cafeteria entrance:
"You big idiot, there's something else I need your help with."

Upon hearing this address, Li Bin and Zhou Xinglun exchanged another glance, their pupils dilating.

This title is quite unusual.

It's full of stories.

"what's up?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhou turned his gaze towards it.

Several boys dressed in brand-new camouflage uniforms, who looked like first-year high school students, were peeking and looking in their direction.

One of the tall boys was holding something in his hand and was looking at Wu Di.

"Do you see those guys?"

Wu Di's voice carried a hint of barely perceptible annoyance:
"They're like flies, so annoying. I'll have to wait for them to come over and act as my shield."

As she spoke, she pulled out another stack of red banknotes, thicker than before.

Chen Zhou grinned, revealing a set of white teeth, and quickly stuffed the banknotes into his pocket, his movements even more swift than when he was counting money earlier.
"Don't worry, for the next half hour, not even a fly will be able to get within three meters of you, let alone a human!"

As he spoke, Chen Zhou straightened his back, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and adopted a "keep away" posture.

Seeing this, Li Bin's Adam's apple bobbed as he stared at the bulging banknotes in Chen Zhou's pocket, and suddenly slapped his thigh.

He looked at Stephen Chow and communicated with his eyes:
Damn it, this kid is making a fortune in silence!

A hint of envy appeared in Stephen Chow's eyes:
I'm speechless. This guy actually managed to hook up with a rich woman.

To be honest, it's understandable that Li Bin and Zhou Xinglun felt envious of Chen Zhou being liked by so many girls, but there was absolutely no question of jealousy.

But at this very moment, seeing Chen Zhou hook up with a rich woman and make two big profits in just a few minutes.

The two of them practically had "grass mud horse" etched into their foreheads.

Soon after, the group of first-year high school students seemed to have finally mustered up their courage and walked towards this side, surrounding the tall boy.

The tall boy held a beautifully wrapped bouquet of roses in his hands, his ears were flushed, and he walked with a solemn yet nervous demeanor.

As he approached, he cleared his throat, his voice trembling slightly:
"Wu Di, I... I've noticed you since the first day of school, and I really like you. Could you please..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhou rolled his eyes so hard they almost reached the sky.

Putting aside wealth, what man would like a girl like Wu Di?

They're obviously after the money.

Wu Di spoke coldly, reaching out to put her arm around Chen Zhou's arm:

"I'm sorry, I already have a boyfriend. Please don't bother me anymore."

Chen Zhou looked at the several first-year high school students with an air of "Oh, right, right, right" indifferently.

The tall boy's face turned deathly pale instantly, the rose in his hand trembled slightly, and after a long while he managed to say with difficulty:
"I...I'm sorry, I...I disturbed you!"

The tall boy turned and left dejectedly, followed by several of his companions.

Chen Zhou touched his forehead in confusion.

Is this the end?
What about the plot where someone tries to show off only to get slapped in the face?
No way, this money is too easy to make!
Chen Zhou looked at Wu Di, and seeing that she didn't say anything, he accepted the money without any qualms.

Even though I was just a background figure for my boyfriend, it's still more than giving up my seat.

So you should take the money when it's due.

Even the big spender hasn't said anything.

Li Bin and Zhou Xinglun were so surprised to see Chen Zhou earn over a thousand so easily that their eyes practically popped out of their sockets.

After Wu Di finished his meal at a leisurely pace and left the scene.

Li Bin's chopsticks slammed onto the plate with a clatter, and his finger, pointing at Chen Zhou's pocket, trembled like a leaf.

"Elbow! You're making money faster than a money printing machine!"

Zhou Xinglun put his face close to Chen Zhou's shoulder and sniffed intensely.

He was pushed away by Chen Zhou with disdain:

"Holy crap!! Are you gay? What are you sniffing for?"

Stephen Chow stood up and rubbed his nose:
"Smell it, does it smell of money?"

Li Bin acts as a freeloader:
"You're making money too easily; everyone who sees it gets a share!"

Chen Zhou picked his nose and chuckled:

"Why should I? I earned this money through modeling. Without my modeling, would those freshmen have been able to slink away like that?"

The two looked at each other and said in unison:
"Forget your roots!!"

Chen Zhou put his hands on his hips:

"Hahaha, finally someone understands me! I'm not only ungrateful, I'm also abstract, vain, materialistic, malicious, snobbish, mean-spirited, stingy, ungrateful, treacherous, lazy..."

Li Bin: "Shameless!"

Stephen Chow: "Despicable and vile!"

Seeing that the two were turning into angry young men, Chen Zhou had no choice but to spend three yuan each to buy a large sausage as hush money.

This calmed the two of them down.

Li Bin took a bite of the large sausage, recalled the conversation between Chen Zhou and Wu Di when they were alone, and said earnestly:

"Elbow, I probably shouldn't have said that..."

Chen Zhou finished a sausage in two bites and threw the skewer into the trash can.
"Don't say things you shouldn't say."

Li Bin shook his head like a rattle drum:

"No, I can't resist."

Chen Zhou chuckled and said:

"If you can't hold back your words now, you'll be unable to hold back your farts when you're old. The problem is, what comes out won't be a fart."

Stephen Chow gave a thumbs up:

"That statement is philosophical and insightful!"

Chen Zhou countered:

"How tall is it?"

Stephen Chow thought for a moment and casually replied:
It must be several stories high.

Seeing the two joking around, Li Bin couldn't help but offer a serious reminder:

"Xinglun, don't interrupt. Elbow, let me ask you, which is more important, money or dignity?"

Chen Zhou rarely heard Li Bin ask such a profound question, and he was slightly taken aback before replying:

"No, what we're saying is, a person can't give up money for the sake of dignity, can they?"

Upon hearing this, Li Bin sighed deeply and uttered a profoundly philosophical statement:

"So, Godfather—"

"Please introduce me to a rich woman, I think I could be a gigolo or something!"

Stephen Chow quickly followed:
"Grandpa! Me too!"

A question mark appeared above Chen Zhou's head:
"What the hell? You think being a gigolo is easy? Can you tolerate a rich woman's 'pleasure ball' or a rich woman's 'fiery mountain'?"

When faced with areas of ignorance, Li Bin demonstrated his excellent habit of asking questions when he didn't understand:

"Wait, what's a Happy Ball? What's a Flaming Mountain?"

Chen Zhou said helplessly:

"The Happy Ball is like a steel wool scrubbing, and the Flaming Mountain is like dripping wax burning..."

Upon hearing this, Li Bin's eyes narrowed slightly:
"Is this money really that hard to earn?"

Zhou Xinglun also took a few steps back, looking at Chen Zhou with a shocked expression:

"Elbow, you really have to be the one to earn some of the money! I really can't stand steel wool and stuff like that."

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhou frowned:
Every profession has its own difficulties.

"Wait a minute... what do you mean I have to earn this money? Have you misunderstood something?"

Li Bin was stunned for a moment, then asked:
"So, when Wu Xuemei gave you over a thousand yuan, wasn't that..."

Stephen Chow also asked:

"You also said later that you don't have many good points, one is that you're obedient, and the other is that you have good physical strength..."

Chen Zhou was speechless and quickly explained:
"Don't get the wrong idea, that was just a fee from the rich woman for giving up her seat, understand?"

Upon hearing this, the two exchanged a glance and simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Bin patted his chest:

"You scared me to death! I thought you'd hooked up with a rich woman."

Stephen Chow also said repeatedly:

"Thank goodness, I thought you were really willing to give up your dignity for money."

Chen Zhou: ? ? ?
Damn, those two are real clowns.

……

When I got back to class, it was almost time for lunch break.

Today is Monday, and it's math practice time. Lin Xiaomeng is handing out the practice papers.

Today's math afternoon practice finally returned to its proper level of difficulty.

This relieved most of the students in the class who were struggling to score in the 50s or 60s.

Chen Zhou sat back down, glanced at the exam paper, and then put it back.

In the past, this level of difficulty might have been worthwhile for him to undertake.

But it's a bit too simplistic for him now; a quick glance at the plenary session isn't worth doing anything about.

Chen Zhou stayed up until 1 a.m., and seeing that Shen Enxi hadn't arrived at work yet, he prepared to go to sleep.

If Shen Enxi hasn't arrived at work by this time, it means she must have something to do and won't be coming back.

But just then, Lin Xiaomeng walked over, picked up a book, rolled it into a tube, and poked Chen Zhou.

Chen Zhou, somewhat impatient, looked up and asked:
"Class representative? What's up?"

Lin Xiaomeng's cheeks were slightly flushed, and her eyes were somewhat unfocused:
"Um... could you come out for a bit? I'd like to talk to you about what happened this morning."

Chen Zhou had originally wanted to sleep, but upon hearing this, he was no longer sleepy at all. He stood up and stretched.
"Let's go."

The two did not chat outside in the corridor. At this time, school leaders would be on duty, and anyone who saw them chatting would definitely have their name written down.

But the most dangerous place is often the safest place.

The two arrived at the office.

At lunchtime, most subject teachers are not present, so even if the leaders see them, they can use the excuse of helping the teacher to get away with it.

Chen Zhou plopped down in Chen Hui's seat and asked:
"What do you want? Just say it."

Lin Xiaomeng lowered her eyes behind her round-framed glasses, her hands twisting together in front of her.
"Um, about what happened this morning, I'd like you to keep quiet about it."

Chen Zhou responded with an "oh":
"What is it? I don't remember anything about it."

Lin Xiaomeng was also nervous and stammered:
"It's that airplane learning method..."

Chen Zhou scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed:
"This... is a bit difficult."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaomeng immediately became anxious and quickly asked:
"What's so difficult about it? I just beg you not to tell anyone, or I'll never be able to face anyone again!"

"And if you hadn't written about that airplane learning method that could improve scores, I wouldn't have..."

Chen Zhou looked up, smiling as he looked into her eyes, and held up two fingers:
"First, you were the one who read my diary first."

"Secondly, believing in the airplane learning method is just plain stupid."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaomeng seemed to realize Chen Zhou's dilemma, lowered her head and remained silent, then whispered:

"I'm...I'm sorry, I shouldn't have read your diary."

Chen Zhou nodded in satisfaction:
"This is the proper attitude for an apology."

Seeing the softened attitude, Lin Xiaomeng's eyes brightened slightly:

"Can you promise me you won't tell anyone about this?"

However, Chen Zhou shook his head and said:
"It cannot be guaranteed."

Lin Xiaomeng exclaimed "Ah!" and became nervous again:
"Why... why?"

Chen Zhou naturally said:
"Because you are apologizing for reading my diary, but asking me not to tell anyone about it is a different matter."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaomeng understood what he meant and quickly asked:

"Then what can I do to make you stop telling anyone about this?"

Chen Zhou thought for a moment and said:
"Promise me three conditions."

Lin Xiaomeng raised her head and asked:
"Which three?"

Chen Zhou shook his head:
"I haven't decided yet, just agree first."

Lin Xiaomeng hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said:
"As long as you don't tell anyone, I'd even be willing to be your girlfriend."

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhou glanced at Lin Xiaomeng and rolled his eyes slightly.
What are you daydreaming about?

Lin Xiaomeng clenched her fists, a few question marks appearing above her head.

But suddenly, Chen Zhou thought of something and said before Lin Xiaomeng could get angry:

"The first condition has been met."

Lin Xiaomeng became nervous again:

"What……"

Chen Zhou scratched his head and said shyly:

"Will you do my math homework for me from now on?"

During the midday practice session today, Chen Zhou realized that with his math level, which was about to reach level 3, doing these assignments was just a waste of time.

Lin Xiaomeng breathed a sigh of relief.

Although this request violated her professional ethics as a class representative, it was still within an acceptable range.

"As for the remaining two, I'll tell you about them later."

With that, Chen Zhou waved and walked into the classroom.

But halfway there, he felt a surge of urge to urinate, so he turned around and headed towards the toilet.

Just as Chen Zhou reached the door, he heard a conversation coming from the women's restroom:

"Chinen, is there something on my face? Why are they all avoiding me like I'm a plague?"

No, you must be imagining things.

"..."

Chen Zhou's lips curled up slightly.

At this moment, it was clear that Yu Xinyan and Wang Zhinian were the only two people in the women's restroom. As for Yu Xinyan's claim that someone was avoiding her, that was another matter.

Considering Zhou Mo's recent actions, the answer is obvious.

Let the bullets fly for a while longer.

When Yu Xinyan learns of her situation, she will walk up to her and reminisce about the past.

For the next period of time, she would be plunged into endless regret.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs".

"If you avoid making the mistakes you can afford to make, and miss the ones you can afford to err, then it should still be time to repent."

Chen Zhou hummed a song as he released the water.

He finished using the restroom and was about to wash his hands when he bumped into Wang Zhinian and Yu Xinyan walking out of the women's restroom arm in arm.

The two bumped into each other, and Chen Zhou smiled easily.

Yu Xinyan acted as if she hadn't seen him. After washing her hands, she and Wang Zhinian left without looking back.

Seeing her like this, Chen Zhou was too lazy to bother with her and continued humming a song as he walked to class.

After going out for a walk, my sleepiness dissipated considerably.

Back in class, seeing his classmates diligently doing their afternoon practice exercises, he also took out the question bank that Shao Xi had given him that morning and began to study it.

Honestly, the questions in the question bank are all classic and really test your thinking skills.

Without a solid foundation, even if you memorize the answers, you'll still be confused if the conditions are changed.

Chen Zhou glanced through about ten questions and found that he could answer about half of them and couldn't answer the other half.

Unlike regular exams, math competitions don't have a specific focus.

Take sets as an example; the exam always starts with the first question, and you rarely see difficult questions.

But can sets pose difficult problems?

That is certainly possible, and it can be just as difficult as derivatives and statistics.

So Chen Zhou thought about it and decided to open the system and improve his math level.

Name: Chen Zhou

Text: 40

"Martial Arts: 40"

"Charm: 40"

"Imperial Might: 750"

「技能:玩梗lv5、开车lv4、毒舌lv4、火影格斗lv3、篮球lv2……」

Special Effects: Golden Legend, Speed ​​is of the Essence, Keen Insight, Hardening

Item: Skill Card *1

After glancing at the remaining Imperial Might and skill cards, Chen Zhou opened the Mathematics skill interface:
[High School Math Level 1:]

「lv2—lv3，函数（500）、解析几何（300）、数列（300）、立体几何（300）、不等式（300）、导数（300）」

「lv1—lv2，集合（50）、逻辑基础（50）、三角函数（100）、解三角形（50）、平面向量（50）、统计（80）、概率（70）」

After calculating the Imperial Might required to upgrade all level 1 modules, Chen Zhou issued the following order:

"Upgrade all level 1 skills in high school mathematics".

Soon, a system notification appeared:

[Does Your Majesty wish to consume 450 points of Imperial Prestige to upgrade Sets, Logic Fundamentals, Trigonometric Functions, Solving Triangles, Plane Vectors, Statistics, and Probability to level 2?]

"Sure!"

In that instant, a flood of knowledge rushed into my mind.

Then a notification came:
[Congratulations, Your Majesty! Your High School Math skill has been upgraded to level 2!]

A hint of joy flashed across Chen Zhou's face.

I'm so happy to finally have a level 2 learning skill.

After upgrading his math skills to level 2, Chen Zhou looked at the question bank again and found that he could understand about 80% of it.

As for the rest, we'll probably have to wait until math is upgraded to level 3.

However, Chen Zhou remained somewhat hesitant about whether to use the skill card in mathematics.

Currently, I only have this one skill card.

Chen Zhou stroked his chin, calculating how much Imperial Might was needed to upgrade Mathematics from level 2 to level 3:
"Improve your math level."

[Upgrading Mathematics from level 2 to level 3 requires 4000 Imperial Prestige, Your Majesty's Imperial Prestige is insufficient.]

This means that by consuming this one skill card, Chen Zhou can save 4,000 Imperial Prestige.

This is undoubtedly a huge imperial honor.

and so--

Should we use the skill cards for math?
Although Chen Zhou was somewhat hesitant, he couldn't find a better solution after thinking it over.

"That's it! Consume a skill card to upgrade High School Math to level 2!"

In that instant, the system interface was filled with golden light:
[Congratulations, Your Majesty! You have used 1 Skill Card to upgrade High School Mathematics to Level 3!]
