Chapter 231: Just for a Thousand Bucks?
Chapter 231: Just for a Thousand Bucks?
The bell signaling the end of class rang, and Qin Muye finally shook his head and dismissed the class. The Qingxia Academy was indeed severely corrupt. Despite the commotion earlier, not a single security guard came to investigate, indicating that the staff had been bought off.
As for Wang Ge, he didn't know who he was, didn't recognize him, and was unaware of the details. These matters had nothing to do with him. His primary concern was maintaining his identity as a history professor.
"Why haven't you left yet?" Qin Muye asked, looking at the group of students who were preparing to watch the commotion.
"Ah, we just wanted to see what the professor is going to do."
"Right, right, Professor, can you teach us a few self-defense moves?"
"..."
The students chattered on, making Qin Muye's head ache.
"Quiet, I'm calling the enforcers," Qin Muye said, taking out his phone to report the incident. The technological level in this world was on par with Wen Country.
After making the call, he noticed the hooligans' expressions relax, as if they had escaped a dire situation.
"Come here, tell me who hired you to commit murder, and where you bunch of colorful scallions are from. Do you realize that disrupting my class will affect my bonuses and evaluations? I'll personally visit you this Saturday to show you what it means to have your bonuses cut."
Qin Muye casually picked up one of the hooligans by his exaggerated hairstyle and spoke calmly.
This made the hooligan he was holding nearly wet his pants. This seemingly refined and well-dressed man gave off a sinister aura.
"I don't know, I follow Dog Brother, Dog Brother, say something!!!" The hooligan, feeling his scalp nearly being torn off, could only cry out.
In the past, they had bullied people for protection fees, but this time, they had met their match and might end up crippled.
"Dog Brother? Hey, who's that, step forward and let me see you," Qin Muye put the hooligan down and looked around at the crouching group.
At this moment, no one stood by their principles, and a hooligan with a broken arm was pushed forward.
"So it's you, Dog Brother. Tell me, and I'll set your bones. If you don't, I'll still set your bones," Qin Muye said. At first, the others didn't understand, but they quickly realized that setting bones could mean different things.
"Shi Shao, it was Shi Shao who paid us a thousand bucks to break Wang Ge's legs. It's not our fault," the hooligan quickly betrayed his master.
Qin Muye was quite satisfied. With a light touch, he heard a crack and set the hooligan's hand bone.
He was very familiar with human anatomy, so setting a bone was relatively simple for him.
Soon, the enforcers arrived, heard the other students' descriptions, and quickly took the hooligans away.
"Alright, disperse. You should focus on your studies and not be like these fools, doing illegal things for a thousand bucks. This Shi Shao is really stingy, luring a bunch of inexperienced hooligans to do his dirty work," Qin Muye shook his head and left the classroom.
A thousand bucks is a lot? Not really. Washing dishes in a restaurant pays at least four thousand a month, and working diligently in an electronics factory pays at least eight thousand a month.
Doing such a thing for a thousand bucks is sheer madness.
Ten million would be more reasonable, but a thousand bucks? Even college students wouldn't do it.
He could tell that these hooligans probably extorted pocket money from elementary and middle school students under the guise of protection fees. They were all likely poor.
Would a serious criminal gang do such a thing? They would have long moved on in this era.
As for this Shi Shao, he was also mad, doing such a thing in the academy was utterly unreasonable.
"Professor Li, wait a moment."
On his way back, someone called out to Qin Muye. Initially, he didn't react, as he was surnamed Qin, not Li. When the person caught up, he remembered that his identity was Li Yan, and "Professor Li" was calling him.
"Oh, student, what's the matter?" Qin Muye asked.
"Professor, my name is Wang Ge, the one those hooligans were after today," the person introduced himself.
Qin Muye nodded: "Wang Ge, I think you should focus on your studies rather than associating with idle people from society."
"Professor, I... I don't know them. I've only met Shi Shao once," Wang Ge said with a bitter tone.
"Ah, then have you gotten close to any pretty girls recently?" Qin Muye didn't sense any lies from Wang Ge, who looked just as helpless.
Wang Ge recalled, "No, I'm the type who usually stays at home. I don't even have a girlfriend and rarely get close to other female classmates."
"Besides, breaking someone's legs over such a matter, that's just crazy."
Even Wang Ge couldn't help but comment. Such behavior was indeed too bizarre, and no normal person would act like that.
Who chases after a girl by breaking the legs of the guys around her? The chances of success would be slim, and it might even drive her away. Such violent behavior could lead to domestic violence once a relationship is established.
"I'm not sure about that, I'm not Shi Shao," Qin Muye shrugged, expressing his helplessness.
"I want to ask Professor for training. I don't need to be able to crush steel pipes with one hand, just to run a bit faster," Wang Ge said.
Qin Muye was slightly surprised by Wang Ge's request, finding it unexpectedly low.
However, this also put Qin Muye in a difficult position. He had never trained anyone before, so how could he train others?
"I really don't know how to train. I've never exercised myself; I rely on my integrity and a clear conscience," Qin Muye explained. His own strength didn't come from training, and normal people couldn't train to his level.
After all, they were different species.
Wang Ge fell silent upon hearing this. Although he had been prepared, it still left him somewhat disappointed.
Mainly because Qin Muye's reason for refusing was too bizarre.
"Alright, you do seem to be in a tough situation. I can teach you something, but it's going to be hard and tiring, and it will cost a lot of money. Can you handle it?" Qin Muye looked at Wang Ge, thinking there might be some hidden reason to help him.
He remembered that the martial arts from Wen Country were quite suitable, though they were inefficient and very expensive to practice. But it was worth a try.
Although he hadn't practiced it himself, the theory was sound.
"Thank you, Professor. When can we start?" Wang Ge was surprised by this sudden opportunity, and he immediately forgot about the hardship and cost.
Let's solve the immediate problem first.
"Do you want to go for a quick fix or take it slowly?" Qin Muye asked.
In his mind, he was searching for martial arts schools. There were various styles, such as weapons like knives, spears, and staffs, and techniques like punches, palms, claws, and fingers. There were many types, but they were mostly small or obsolete schools, which could be used but were not very modern or had lost their traditions for various reasons.
"Of course, I want a quick fix. Shi Shao won't let me off, Professor. How long will it take?" Wang Ge asked hopefully.
Qin Muye thought for a moment, "The fastest would be about 3,600 days."
"???" Wang Ge was dumbfounded. That's ten years?
If it really took ten years, he would be long gone.
"Professor, is there no faster way?"
"There is, three months. But either you'll be dead or broke by the end."
There was a faster way, of course—spending money. How else could you get strong?
"How much will it cost?" Wang Ge asked urgently.
"I don't know. It depends on how much your body can absorb. That's up to you, not me," Qin Muye said slowly.
This young man was indeed anxious. Training in martial arts isn't something you achieve in three days. Even Qin Muye's self-improvement, which seemed like a quick fix, was the result of extensive learning and practice.
"But what should I do now? Shi Shao won't let me off."
"Report it to the police. If that doesn't work, take a leave of absence and run away. I'm just a powerless professor, so I can't help much." Qin Muye couldn't help him for no reason. Giving him this opportunity was already very generous. He wasn't close to Wang Ge and was only helping because there might be some interesting plot developments.
