Chapter 350: Beyond Conventional Logic, A Man Only Needs to Remember 1

Due to Ye Jingqiu's extremely low resistance to Sch Cat Cat, and the real possibility of her passing away if they continued contact, despite her strong objections, the group unanimously voted to temporarily prevent her from interacting with Sch Jing.

After this decision, since Ye Jingqiu was temporarily unavailable, Sch Jing casually chose He Han as the first 'individual guidance' recipient.

Although he wasn't sure what this 'individual guidance' entailed, He Han felt proud to be Sch Jing's first choice.

"As expected, I'm the top student in Sch Jing's heart..."

He Han assumed an elegant posture, sitting upright in his chair, holding a cup in one hand and brushing his hair with the other:

"I am now a noble among men, equivalent to a feudal lord, bestowed with the Nine Honors, allowed to wear shoes in the imperial court, and given the authority to open a ducal office..."

"From now on, if you want to talk to Sch Jing, you'll have to go through me."

Chen Xingyan scoffed, "Are you that kid who was chosen as the class representative for the first time and is now showing off in front of your classmates?"

"And according to your logic, people usually die soon after."

He Han glanced at him, jiggled the cup in his hand, and gestured with his mouth towards the water pitcher on the nearby table:

"Xiao Li, do you think water will pour itself into my cup?"

Fu Jiali angrily crossed her arms, squeezing her chest to make it look bigger, and said with annoyance:

"He Han, don't be such a He Han!"

The others also angrily chimed in, "Jiali is right, you're too much of a He Han!"

"Hmm?"

He Han was taken aback, "What? Why are you saying my name like it's a curse word?"

"You were just lucky to be chosen by Sch Jing! It's like a tissue that was randomly drawn, not because you're special, but simply because you happened to be there! What's there to be proud of!"

"Traitor, rebel, Zhao Gao!"

He Han spread his arms and enjoyed the moment, "The wails of defeated dogs aren't that bad."

Chen Xingyan calmly reminded him, "If you want to act shamelessly, you'll have to bear the consequences yourself. I won't help you."

He Han laughed heartily and said nonchalantly, "Of course not. It's just a few jokes. My relationship with everyone here is deep and unbreakable. No one will take it seriously, right?"

As he spoke, he turned to look at the group.

Everyone stared at him expressionlessly, and faintly, there seemed to be an illusion of black gas emanating from their backs.

Especially the female students, they clenched their fists so hard that their knuckles cracked, and their veins popped out, as if they were about to explode with the urge to beat him up.

"Hmm? Everyone's eyes seem a bit tired. Did you not get enough rest?"

Cold sweat formed on He Han's forehead.

At that moment, a tiny figure appeared in front of the group with a flashing speed.

Instantly, everyone's faces turned respectful and kind, as if the previous murderous intent was just an illusion.

"Sch Jing!"

"Yeah." Sch Cat Cat nodded in response to the group's greeting and then looked at He Han.

"He Han, go for a walk around and collect some 'Iron Core Fruits'. We'll need them for the 'guidance' later."

Almost all the substances in the Iron Tree Sea were made of metal, and due to the fusion with the laws of the mortal realm, there were strange 'Iron Core Plants' and even these plants could bear metallic fruits.

Of course, these fruits were also made of metal.

Upon hearing Sch Jing's instructions, He Han wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and hurriedly followed the instructions.

Half an hour later.

Sch Cat Cat hooked his sharp claws onto a metal tree, swinging himself back and forth.

He Han held a bulging backpack and approached him, performing a respectful bow:

"Sch Jing, may you be blessed."

Sch Cat Cat nimbly leaped into the air and landed on He Han's shoulder, saying:

"Did you bring the items?"

"Yes, the goods are pure." He Han patted the backpack in his hand.

Sch Jing nodded, "Good, let's go."

He Han asked curiously, "Sch Jing, where are we going?"

"Zone D7... Why so many questions? Just go where I tell you." Sch Jing glanced at him.

He Han thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "I remember that place being quite dangerous, part of the Borderland's 'Expert Zone', with many high-level Decepticons..."

Sch Cat Cat remained calm, "What are you afraid of? Do you think I'll harm you? You're from the Seventh Urban Circle, and being this timid will disgrace the Northerners."

He Han's eyes widened, "I'm not afraid to go, I just wanted to ask..."

He thought for a moment and added, "Also, although I'm not timid, I should clarify that I'm from the South, so even if I disgrace myself, it won't reflect on the Northerners."

Sch Jing was curious, "Oh? Didn't you say you were from Silver City? Are your ancestors from the South? That doesn't count. If you grew up in the North, you're a Northerner."

He Han waved his hand, "My ancestors for eighteen generations have all been from Silver City. I'm a pure-blooded Southerner."

"South of Heilongjiang."

Sch Jing: "..."

...

Iron Tree Sea, Zone D7.

Li Suisu was walking with three boys and a girl on a steel-lined path.

He fiddled with his wristband, and the holographic map on it kept changing, while the four students around him carefully observed their surroundings.

"Teacher Li... Do we really need to take on this extermination mission?"

One of the male students asked with a worried expression.

"Our team score is already high enough, right? When the exam ends and the team average score is calculated, we'll still be in the top position. Apart from that female demon in the Demon Lord class, we're already guaranteed a spot in the top four... Why take this risk?"

The other three didn't speak, but they also looked at Li Suisu, clearly sharing the same doubt.

"In normal circumstances, that's true."

Li Suisu continued to look at the map and play with his wristband, speaking calmly.

"But there's someone in this exam who can't be judged by conventional logic.

"That person made the unwise decision of forming the entire class into a team... Generally speaking, it's a very foolish choice."

"No matter what group, when the number of people increases, most of them will inevitably become a burden. The result of hoping for everyone to achieve good grades is that no one will achieve good grades."

"But as I said, he's someone who can't be judged by common sense."

"For such a person, no matter how unfavorable his decision is to the exam rules, we must assume that he possesses a method beyond common sense that can allow everyone to achieve good grades."

As Li Suisu spoke, he glanced at the others.

"If you are satisfied with your current scores, you may later face the consequence of suddenly having thirty more people above you in the rankings... Although the top fifty in the rankings can already obtain admission to all universities in the Seventh Urban Circle, the martial arts resources of each school are limited."

"The better the grades, the higher the ranking, the more resources will undoubtedly be invested. Do you want to be content with just the top fifty, or do you want to fight with all your might to secure the top ten?"

The four students looked at each other, then said, "We'll listen to you, Teacher."

Li Suisu nodded. "Yes, after these days of training together, the four of you should have no problem dealing with some Borderland creatures below level 5. With Xuan Yi's All-Killing Flow Technique, even the highly defensive Iron Core Creatures can have their defenses broken. The subjugation task can be completed, so there's no need to be afraid."

"Roar!!!!"

Suddenly, a beastly roar filled with the sound of metal friction emanated from not too far away.

The sound wasn't too loud, but it was extremely sharp, causing people's eardrums to hurt. It seemed to carry a sense of despair.

Li Suisu's eyebrows furrowed.

"That's the voice of the Great Saw Ape."

"What's going on? How can it make such a sound... Has it been preyed upon by other creatures?"

Li Suisu's figure flashed, and he rushed towards the source of the roar.

"Follow me!"

The four students exchanged glances and hurriedly followed.

...

"What the heck is this, a territorial dispute?"

He Han widened his eyes at the scene before him.

A colossal grey-brown steel ape, nearly ten meters tall, with a tail that ended in a chainsaw-like shape, was being restrained by several thick silver metal roots that bound its lower body. It frantically roared, pounding its chest with both fists.

He Han covered his ears and grimaced. "Sch Cat Cat, have you heard that joke about the animal that laughs the coldest?"

"It's the gorilla, because it knocks on boobs..."

Sch Cat Cat sat crouched on He Han's shoulder, ignoring him. With a flick of his cat tail, he controlled the Iron Core Seed in the distance, generating thick metal roots that attacked the subjugation target, the Great Saw Ape.

The Great Saw Ape, with its muscular body and obvious strength, became agitated as the roots continued to bind it. The chainsaw on its tail whipped around frantically, creating sparks as it rubbed against the roots. It kept cutting through the roots, but for every one it severed, more would wrap around it.

Before long, the dense roots had bound it tightly like a dumpling, even immobilizing its tail. The Great Saw Ape could only roar furiously at the sky in rage.

Sch Cat Cat glanced at He Han.

"You're really lucky. You just happened to encounter an unknown Iron Core Plant preying on the Great Saw Ape... Go on, its core organ is in its head. Use your Serious Punch to smash its head, and the subjugation task will be complete. It's an easy score."

He Han's expression turned strange.

At first, when they had just arrived in Zone D7, he had refused when Sch Jing said they were there to carry out a subjugation task.

But faced with the choice between having his throat clawed out by a cat or being torn apart by a gorilla, he could only try to come and see the situation based on Sch Jing's subtle hints...

As soon as he arrived, he had used various fruits from his backpack to lure the Great Saw Ape. Suddenly, a strange Iron Core Plant sprouted from the side, lashing at the ape like a whip. It quickly bound the ape, conveniently exposing its head for He Han to strike.

This was luck...

Impossible.

He Han opened his mouth, suppressing the urge to ask if Sch Jing was behind this.

There was no need to ask; it was definitely him.

If he had come here alone by chance, it might still be considered good luck.

But he was brought here by Sch Jing.

It was clear that Sch Jing had arranged this to help He Han score points.

He Han coughed.

No, he couldn't laugh, or else he would ruin Sch Jing's hard work.

He composed himself, his face calm. "Actually, I've been called a lucky kid since I was young. When buying ten ice popsicles, I'd get at least one free one. The neighbor's aunt would always exclaim, 'That kid will definitely be a lucky superhero when he grows up.'"

"Encountering this situation is reasonable, logical, and normal..."

Sch Jing's mouth twitched, and he swatted He Han's head with his cat paw. "Stop blabbering."

He Han rubbed his head and carefully approached the Great Saw Ape, which was still struggling. He swallowed nervously and hesitated.

"Umm... Are you sure it can't move?"

Sch Cat Cat replied indifferently, "It will break free in three seconds."

"1..."

As soon as he started counting, the roots binding the Great Saw Ape began to loosen.

Seeing this, He Han, in a panic, overcame his fear and quickly activated his Serious Punch. With a boom, he struck the ape's head.

"Bang!!!!"

The metal skull shattered, and the Great Saw Ape became like a machine that had run out of fuel. Its struggling body came to a halt in an instant.

He Han wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and slumped to the ground.

"Sch Jing, you said it would take three seconds, but it felt like it was about to break free when I counted to one..."

He looked at Sch Cat Cat.

Sch Jing glanced at him and said calmly, "Who needs to know numbers? Men only need to remember 1 to survive."

He Han's mouth twitched.

"Sch Jing, your concentration isn't bad either..."

...
