In an era where everyone is cultivating immortality, the system wants me to become a demon?

Chapter 11 The System's True Face!

"Hehe, I didn't expect to get MVP. My strength is beyond my imagination."

After eliminating all competitors, Su Yuan couldn't help but feel somewhat smug.

Of course, this does not mean that his practical skills are the best in the whole school. Most of the popular figures in the school are too lazy to participate in the cafeteria competition.

Take Class Two for example. A prodigy like Chen Nuoyi is fully capable of crushing all her competitors, but she always takes her time when going to the cafeteria.

Even a player as skilled as Chu Lanxi would ask a friend to get her food instead of doing it herself.

Not to mention that many students from well-off families don't eat in the cafeteria at all, but instead eat out or order takeout.

The thought of food delivery made Su Yuan click his tongue.

It's such a waste that I can't deliver food while I'm in school; otherwise, I could make a fortune off those students who don't value money.

But in any case, Su Yuan's progress is obvious.

Just as he was happily heading towards the cafeteria entrance with his meal card, ready to enjoy the fruits of his victory, suddenly, a figure as tall as an iron tower blocked Su Yuan's way.

Before Su Yuan could even react to what was happening, the other person stretched out an arm thicker than Su Yuan's thigh, grabbed Su Yuan by the back of the neck, and lifted him up like a chick.

"Teacher Zhuge?"

Looking at Zhuge Tie's ashen face, Su Yuan was somewhat bewildered.

What's going on? Have I ever offended this PE teacher?
"You little rascal, you're pretty quick at swinging that stick!"

Zhuge Tie gritted his teeth, the words practically bursting out from between them, clearly showing his intense anger.

"The competition in the cafeteria is a competition of speed, and you're trying to win with these weird tricks! It's a disgrace to the spirit of sports!"

Su Yuan: "..."

How the hell can this be related to sportsmanship?
Has anyone ever said that you can only compete for a place in the cafeteria by running races?

And is it a foul to stop yourself at the crucial moment when you're about to cross the finish line?

Seeing the students he had just left behind overtaking him and rushing into the cafeteria, Su Yuan became extremely anxious and quickly launched into a three-part plea:

"Teacher Zhuge, it's midday, since you're already here, let's have lunch first."

"No, you're going to run ten laps around the track right now, and I'll supervise you personally! I'm going to show you what sportsmanship is all about."

Zhuge Tie spoke coldly, completely disregarding social niceties, which greatly surprised Su Yuan.

But just then, a cold laugh rang out from not far away:
"Teacher Zhuge, you're spouting your ridiculous sportsmanship again. You kidnapped my beloved student for your own selfish desires and didn't let him eat. That's not how a teacher behaves."

Su Yuan and Zhuge Tie looked in the direction of the sound and saw a beautiful teacher with a slender figure wearing a tight-fitting combat suit walking gracefully towards them.

"Teacher Li?"

The visitor was none other than Li Ziquan, the martial arts teacher of Class 2, Grade 12.

What puzzled Su Yuan was that this Teacher Li, who was usually indifferent to him, suddenly stepped in to help him out of a predicament.

"Teacher Li, this matter has nothing to do with you."

Zhuge Tie placed Su Yuan back on the ground, his tone cold and hard.

Li Ziquan crossed his arms, first giving Su Yuan a loving look, then turning to Zhuge Tie with a look of utter contempt, and said:
"None of my business? The martial arts that Su Yuan just used were so amazing that few of the senior students could match him. Yet you criticize him just because he won first place in the cafeteria competition with his martial arts. Is this looking down on martial arts?"

"In the end, you can get a perfect score in sports just by lifting weights without thinking, which is completely different from subjects like martial arts and Taoist arts that require skill."

Su Yuan understood. Teacher Li must have seen his exquisite stick technique, no, fork technique, and that's why he took a liking to him.

That's great, I'm no longer alone and helpless.

Upon hearing Li Ziquan's words, veins bulged on Zhuge Tie's forehead.

"What did you say? Sports are not as simple as you make them out to be. How dare an outsider point fingers?" The two teachers immediately launched into a heated verbal battle.

If it weren't for the students passing by rushing to the cafeteria for food, the area would have been packed with onlookers.

Su Yuan was caught between the two teachers, not daring to move an inch, for fear of being targeted by both of them.

He gazed at the cafeteria, which was gradually filling up with people, his eyes filled with reluctance.

Goodbye, limited-edition dishes; goodbye, my glory of being number one in the cafeteria!

No, we can't give up yet.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Su Yuan's mind. Although he was stopped by two teachers, Chu Lanxi would be arriving soon. He just needed to ask him to get him a meal.

If you're lucky, you might even get a limited-edition dish.

Su Yuan glanced around and quickly spotted Hao Da'er's figure in the crowd at the cafeteria entrance.

He quickly waved to Chu Lanxi with the smallest possible gesture.

Chu Lanxi, who was not far away, seemed to sense something and looked over at Su Yuan.

Su Yuan was overjoyed and was about to convey the message with his eyes when Chu Lanxi turned her head back at lightning speed and mingled into the crowd into the cafeteria with an indifferent expression.

Damn it, I was ignored! Is it because I'm afraid of being targeted by the teachers around me?
That's not fair at all!

Su Yuanqi rolled her eyes in exasperation.

Just then, a "ding-dong" sound rang in my mind.

[Oh ho, on just your first day infiltrating the Taihua Sect, two elders from righteous sects have already been won over by your feigned gentleness? You truly are a deeply sinful demon!]

Damn it, didn't the system classify the current world as the ancient era of cultivation? You call yourself gentle and kind? Who understands that?!
Besides, all I wanted to do was use my skill to get food in the cafeteria sooner, but these two teachers stopped me without asking. What does that have to do with being kind? Has the system's slander evolved to the point of being completely illogical?

Because of your exceptional talent, both sect elders intend to cultivate you further, which will be an opportunity for you to enter the upper echelons of the Taihua Sect.

[The Demon Lord's Quest has been updated]

[Mission: Righteous Disciple]

As a ruthless tyrant who rose to power through deception, please adopt the demeanor of a devout student, skillfully navigating the relationship between the two sect elders, extracting their knowledge and skills, and gaining their greater trust.

[Task Progress: Martial Arts Elder's Favorability (105/80) Body Refinement Elder's Favorability (50/80)]

Oh ho, the much-anticipated favorability system?

The terms "Martial Arts Elder" and "Body Refining Elder" likely refer to martial arts teachers and physical education teachers, respectively.

So why does Teacher Li have such a high level of affection for me? It's off the charts!

This task has only just been released, and it's already almost halfway complete.

But this isn't necessarily a bad thing; completing the task sooner means getting the reward sooner.

So what is the reward for this mission?

Considering that everything produced by the system is of high quality, I'll just pretend I didn't hear what the system said earlier.

Su Yuan looked down with great interest at the newly refreshed mission rewards, then his gaze froze.

[Quest Reward: Ancient Corpse Refining Technique]

There must be something wrong with how I opened it. Let me take another look.

No problem, this is the reward for the mission.

Not a single word was misread!
It seems this damn system can't hide anymore. It's likely that all those tasks it gave me before were just perks to lure me into this mess. Now, this devilish system is showing its true colors!
And this damn system of yours dared to slander me just now, this is not going to end!
