Survival in the Class: I'm the Only Boy on the Bus

As Lu Wanzhou listened to Jiang Chen's probing, the tips of her ears burned red, and her heart pounded wildly.

She became even more shy.

She knew exactly what Xiao Chen meant, but she just wouldn't say anything.

She thought that if Xiao Chen invited her again, she would say yes!

Jiang Chen was also waiting for Lu Wanzhou's reply.

We can't force them, can we?

And so, the two silently carried the D-grade treasure chest toward the bus.

Just as they were about to reach the bus, Lu Wanzhou couldn't hold back any longer and gave Jiang Chen a playful kick, scolding him:

"You brat, Xiao Chen!"

"Didn't I tell you you're not allowed to force yourself on other girls?"

Lu Wanzhou's voice grew softer and softer:

"I...I didn't say you can't do this to me..."

Jiang Chen's lips curled up slightly.

He got it!

...

The bus was restarted.

This time, Lu Wanzhou was driving.

After Jiang Chen gave Lu Wanzhou a brief lesson on how to drive a large bus, he handed it over to her.

After all, the road conditions are very good.

The road was a straight stretch of road, and there were no other vehicles or pedestrians around.

As long as you know how to hold the steering wheel firmly and brake and accelerate, you can drive even a zombie!

Jiang Chen gently patted Lu Wanzhou's shoulder, his tone tender:

"Take it easy, I'll take care of the unboxing."

Then, Jiang Chen leaned close to Lu Wanzhou's ear and whispered:

"Wait until we finish unpacking..."

"I'll help you increase your free attribute points..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Wanzhou didn't say anything, but the corners of her mouth secretly turned up.

Jiang Chen placed the treasure chest in the center of the passageway.

The girls immediately gathered around.

Tang Yan squatted in front of the treasure chest, her dark blue top hat tilted to one side, and her white jellyfish-like hair hanging down her shoulders.

She rubbed her hands together, her face full of excitement:

"Unboxing is something only the luckiest person like me should do!"

She reached out and wiped the bloodstains from the box, then gently tapped the wooden box:

"Hehehe! What kind of stuff can I get from a D-grade treasure chest...?"

Ding!

A cold, mechanical voice suddenly exploded in the minds of all the players.

[Server-wide Announcement:]

Team 43999 became the first team to completely annihilate the zombies guarding a D-level treasure chest with zero casualties.

[An extra D-grade treasure chest has been awarded and sent to your [Space Backpack].]

[Server-wide Announcement:]

This server-wide announcement was broadcast three times in a row.

The public chat channel exploded instantly:

"Holy crap? Who is the 4399 team? They're so powerful! I've never seen them before."

"They wiped out the zombies guarding the treasure chest so early in the game? And without any casualties?"

"I'm still fighting zombies, several of my team members have died, and the big boss has already gotten the first kill?"

"Damn it! These zombies are really tough to fight. Although their defense isn't great, if you get bitten and don't have the antidote, you can only wait to die."

"Upstairs, after several of my teammates died, I had no choice but to give up on the D-grade treasure chest!"

"@43999, are there any guys in your team? Those flight attendants are really good at it~"

"Ahem... Hey girl upstairs, let's add each other as friends..."

"@43999, is your team still recruiting? I have C-level talent! I can deal damage and tank!"

"I'm a B-rank! I'm a B-rank! Pick me! Pick me!"

"Can you guys stop fawning over them? Do you think those top teams would even look at you?"...

The public chat was flooded with messages so fast it was hard to see clearly; it was basically everyone trying to curry favor with Jiang Chen.

The girls all crowded in front of their respective screens, chattering and laughing together.

"Hahaha! They can't even beat ordinary zombies?"

"Several people died? That's too tragic!"

"Our team is amazing! First kill and zero casualties!"

"That's right! With the sports representative, class monitor, and academic representative around, how can it be the same?"

Bai Nuonuo, holding a brown teddy bear, ran to Jiang Chen's side with her short legs and gently tugged at his clothes.

She tilted her baby face up and said softly:

"Brother Jiang Chen! We're so amazing!"

Jiang Chen smiled and patted the little white head.

Lan Xingyao slumped in her chair, legs crossed, her tight jeans outlining her shapely curves.

She acted like a big shot, even pretending to be smoking.

Although she doesn't smoke at all:

"Sigh, is this the loneliness of the strong?"

As she spoke, she even started singing:

"Invincible~ How amazing is that~!"

"How lonely~!"

Lan Xingwan stood beside her sister, her light blue hair falling over her shoulders, and her fair skin accentuated by the thin straps of her dress.

She tugged at her sister's sleeve and whispered, "Undermining me!"

"Sis... all you did was kill that zombie whose head was crippled by the sports committee..."

"Stop pretending..."

Lan Xingyao instantly lost her composure and coughed awkwardly twice.

Tang Yan squatted beside the treasure chest, rubbing her hands together, her eyes shining:

"Unboxing! Unboxing!"

Jiang Chen didn't rush to let her drive.

He first took the D-grade treasure chest that the system rewarded him with out of his spatial backpack.

Two old wooden crates were placed side by side in the aisle.

The girls all crowded around, completely blocking the aisle.

"Sports Committee, hurry up and let Tang Yan open the box!"

"I'm so anxious, what will I get?"

"Tang Xiaojinli, it's all up to you!"

Tang Yan squatted in front of the treasure chest, her hand already outstretched, but she suddenly stopped just before touching the chest.

She suddenly remembered something, abruptly pulled her hand back, became shy, and her ears turned slightly red.

The girls were stunned:

"Tang Yan, why aren't you driving?"

"Yeah, hurry up and drive! What are you dawdling for?"

Bai Nuonuo hugged the teddy bear and nestled close to Tang Yan, softly comforting her:

"Don't rush, Sister Tang Yan, just drive slowly~"

"Nuonuo will cheer you on!"

Lan Xingwan licked her dry lips:

"I wish... I could just turn on the tap and get some water... I'm dying of thirst..."

Lan Xingyao glanced at her younger sister, shook her head, and clicked her tongue:

"Tsk tsk tsk! You've been sweating so much, you must be dehydrated!"

Jiang Chen also looked at Lan Xingwan, raising his eyebrows slightly.

This girl didn't run more than a few steps when she was killing zombies, so why is she sweating so much?

Lan Xingwan noticed Jiang Chen's gaze, and her cheeks flushed instantly.

She quickly covered her older sister's mouth and stammered an explanation:

"Sports...Sports Committee...Don't misunderstand."

"I...I was just too nervous, that's why I was sweating..."

Jiang Chen nodded as if he understood, but without thinking much of it, he turned to look at Tang Yan.

Tang Yan was looking down, poking around with her fingers, and her face was red.

Jiang Chen was a little confused:

"Hey little koi, why haven't you opened the box yet?"

Tang Yan hesitated for a long time before whispering:

"Sports Committee... there's a ritual I have to perform before drawing cards and opening treasure chests..."

"Otherwise it won't work..."

Jiang Chen frowned slightly:

"A ceremony? What materials are needed?"

He would cooperate as long as it increased the rewards from opening treasure chests.

The girls all perked up their ears.

Tang Yan's fair face flushed with shyness. After hesitating for a long time, she finally mustered up her courage and whispered:

"Before I time-traveled, when I drew cards, I always had to kiss... kiss your picture, the Sports Committee member, to get lucky..."

The carriage erupted in chaos:

"What?!"

"A photo of him?!"

"It's still a photo from the Sports Commission?!"

The girls were all dumbfounded.

In the driver's seat, Lu Wanzhou gripped the steering wheel tightly, causing the bus to lurch.

Upon hearing Tang Yan's words, Bai Nuonuo seemed to have received some incredible information, and her ahoge (cowlick) stood up abruptly.

She looked at Jiang Chen with a puzzled expression:

"Will kissing... Jiang Chen bring me good luck?"

"Then...then Nuonuo wants a kiss too..."

Lan Xingyao was the first to react, laughing so hard she slapped her thigh:

"Oh! I get it!"

She winked at Tang Yan:

"That clever little rascal Tang Yan, opening the treasure chest was just a pretense; her real intention was to curry favor with the sports committee!"

The girls all realized what was happening:

"Tang Yan, you little lucky charm, you're so clever! You even came up with such a reason!"

"Exactly! If you want to be close to the sports committee, just say so! Don't make excuses!"

"Hahaha, that's a brilliant excuse!"
