Old Domain Bizarre

Chapter 31 School
Thinking about the many questions he would have to ask, and the potential punishment for asking them, Zhang Wenda immediately turned and ran towards the supply and marketing cooperative.

Just as Zhang Wenda took the three lollipops from the counter and was about to leave, he noticed something new on the counter.

He stopped in his tracks as the events at Xinhua Bookstore yesterday came to mind.

"Since the supply and marketing cooperative can sell candy to heal wounds, can't it also sell other things?"

To confirm his decision, he immediately decided to test the waters.

"What's that?" Zhang Wenda thought for a moment and pointed to the thing that looked like a Tetris game console.

"That's a Tetris game console."

"."

"Never mind, just pretend I didn't ask."

Feeling extremely embarrassed, Zhang Wenda turned to leave when he heard the voice behind him again. "Is it too expensive? There are cheaper toys too, like this one."

The large hand reached out, holding an electronic device about the size of an MP3 player between its fingers. However, the device looked secondhand, with many scratches and a plastic casing, making it appear very cheap.

"Ratio recognition devices are used to help you students learn about the world in an entertaining and educational way."

"Toys? How do you play with them?"

As soon as Zhang Wenda finished speaking, he saw the large hand pointing at the object, and with a "B" sound, a line of text appeared on the gray screen.

Water: 58.5%
Protein: 16.6%
Fat: 17.6%
Minerals: 5.9%
Other: Trace amount.

"This is... the composition ratio of my body's substances?" Zhang Wenda took it with some surprise.

He knew that although the world seemed perfectly normal, it was strange in many ways, just like this.

"How about it? It can still be used 5 times. I'll give you a discount, 6.5 yuan."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wenda immediately put the money back, saying, "Forget it, I don't have that much money, and besides, this thing is useless to me."

As he spoke, he turned to leave, but after only a few steps, he was stopped by the other person.

"Don't go! Here's what we'll do: after you've used it five times, return the outer casing, and I'll give you a dollar and fifty cents."

Zhang Wenda hesitated for a moment, glancing at the money in his pocket. After deducting the cost of the candy and the 10 yuan from yesterday afternoon, it seemed as if the other person had calculated exactly how much money he had.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Wenda finally bought it. Although this thing didn't seem to be of much use, it could still come in handy in some special situations.

For example, if I had this thing in my hand when I was in the Children's Palace, I would have known it was a biological center as soon as I entered, and I wouldn't have had to go through all this trouble.

If the school were also a living entity, he could have discovered it immediately and taken preventative measures.

After buying this, Zhang Wenda didn't ask about anything else, since he didn't have any money anyway.

Zhang Wenda stuffed the new gadget into his pocket and went to school.

Although he didn't know where he was in class, he found his classroom by referring to the notes in his textbook.

The classroom was in a mess. Zhang Wenda walked straight toward Glasses, who was tidying up his desk. He remembered that this guy had said that he was his deskmate.

"Rat, you're here?"

"Yes, I'm here." Zhang Wenda looked around and everything seemed normal, from the blackboard and desks to his classmates.

But after what happened at the Children's Palace, he still felt uncertain, so he took out his newly bought equipment and hit the wall with it.

Sand and gravel = 77%
Cement = 20%
Rebar = 2%
Other: Trace amounts. Seeing the completely normal ratio, Zhang Wenda breathed a slight sigh of relief; at least the school wasn't alive.

"What are you doing?" Yang Shu looked at Zhang Wenda with some confusion, not quite understanding what the other was doing.

"Nothing much, I was just looking around." With that, Zhang Wenda put the thing away and took out a lollipop, stuffing it into his mouth.

"Let me ask you something. What do we usually do when we come to school?"

"Go to school."

"What does 'going to school' mean?" Zhang Wenda scrutinized the words carefully to avoid any further mistakes. If there was such a thing as "learning," that would be a huge problem.

"Going to school means that teachers teach us."

With the other party's continuous explanation, Zhang Wenda finally understood the entire process of going to school, and fortunately, it was no different from going to school in his previous world.

"It's alright. If it's just a normal class, as long as I don't break any rules, I'll just waste some time at most, and there won't be any danger." Zhang Wenda thought to himself as he greeted the fat man.

As the familiar bell rang, Zhang Wenda saw the other students slowly taking their seats, and a short-haired female teacher walked in with a smile.

Zhang Wenda wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that the other person was a complete stranger; he had never seen the other person before when he went to class.

She seemed perfectly normal, nothing seemed amiss.

Just as Zhang Wenda was in a daze, he heard the female teacher cough lightly, and the classroom instantly fell silent. "Have all the students handed in their weekend homework?"

When he heard the others call out in unison, Zhang Wenda's heart skipped a beat.

"It's over."

Seeing the fat man winking at him, Zhang Wenda almost popped his eyes out. "Why didn't you tell me about this?!"

As the female teacher reached out to check the homework on the podium, Zhang Wenda felt as if he were witnessing the King of Hell calling roll.

"Zhang Wenda, why didn't you hand in your homework?"

"Damn it," Zhang Wenda cursed inwardly.

The sound of high heels approached, and then Zhang Wenda caught a faint scent of sandalwood. "Wenda, lift your head."

As Zhang Wenda's gaze moved upwards, he saw the female teacher's kind and approachable face.

Whether it was his imagination or not, Zhang Wenda felt a chill run down his spine, as if he were being watched by something.

"Wenda, the teacher is asking you a question. Where is your homework?"

Zhang Wenda, who secretly pulled a lollipop out of his pocket, ready to soothe his pain and wound, gritted his teeth and said directly, "I... my homework was torn up by my cat."

The long wait finally ended, and the staring gaze left. "Okay, then I believe you. Remember to rewrite it and hand it in tomorrow morning."

Seeing the female teacher turn and leave, the fat man not far away secretly gave Zhang Wenda a thumbs up.

Zhang Wenda ignored him, watching the departing female teacher with lingering fear. "Is it bloodline suppression? Why am I still afraid of this at my age?"

Suddenly, Zhang Wenda had an idea and, as if possessed, pulled out the ratio recognition device and pointed it at the teacher's back.

With a "B" sound, a string of text appeared again.

When Zhang Wenda saw that line of text, he immediately felt a chill run down his spine and straight to his brain.

Water: 23%
Minerals: 19%
High-density parasitic cyst clusters: 34%
Protein-like humic polymers 51%
3% of unknown organic solvents
