This is too hilarious!

20. Holy crap! PUA?!

Bai Hui then realized something was wrong. He suddenly recalled the part of the knowledge he had crammed at Li Bin's Taoist temple during that week that had caused his sanity to drop by 18 points.

Considering Feng Jue's unusual behavior...

Bai Hui looked at Feng Jue and said expressionlessly, "Just pretend you didn't hear what I told you before. Don't come to my house at noon, and I won't go to yours either!"

His sanity level is currently above the safe line (50), and even in the [simple line] state, he has finally realized the danger posed by Feng Jue's family...

Damn... this one's an even bigger expert!

Feng Jue's face darkened completely, his eyes trembled, and he said in a deep voice, "No! Please, Bai Hui! I want to stay at your house for a few more days! I'll pay you!"

"Give me money?" Bai Hui caught the key phrase: "Explain in detail how much..."

Feng Jue immediately said, "If it can be proven that it can indeed help improve my grades, then I can use 'tutoring' as an excuse to apply for some financial support from my family."

"What? Going to your house?" Li Youye belatedly realized, then exclaimed with delight, "Can I come? It's been so long since I've had Auntie Chef's cooking!"

"The cook?"

Bai Hui was taken aback for a moment, his mind racing, and said, "It seems you still remember your experience visiting my house before?"

"Let me test you. What are the three dream artifacts in my house? Besides Auntie Cook and Uncle Zhong, who is the third one?"

As my best friend, regardless of past or present lives, this guy is the one who left the deepest impression on me during my student days.

It's normal to have been to your own home...

Yes!

Why didn't I think of asking Li Youye about the dream device in my home before?

"?"

However, Li Youye became angry: "Your language is too foul!"

Bai Hui: "?"

What the hell is this?!

Li Youye was already angry and refused to answer no matter what.

Meanwhile, Feng Jue was still coldly pleading with Bai Hui not to refuse him, saying that the "tutoring fee" might not be much, since he wasn't sure how much his grades would improve...

Bai Hui also remembered what a "parents' group" was—

That was a gathering of "Strange Tales: The Great Xia-style Parents".

It is filled with a lot of fake people and even "parent ghost stories"!

These are pseudo-humans or ghost stories.

Its harmfulness is similar to that of a fully grown long-tongued parrot.

A fully grown long-tongued parrot can drive someone to suicide due to unbearable public pressure.

As for the "parents' group"... this thing will provide for the children's living and schooling, but their demands are a bit strange. They don't ask for the children's money, they don't ask the children to be filial, and they don't ask the children to be outstanding. They only ask that the children can live with guilt!

At the same time, this kind of ghost story also has the ability to spread "memes".

If you are in contact with it for a long time, you will most likely be assimilated...

If Feng Jue's parents are indeed in a "parents' group," then...

Bai Hui could understand why Feng Jue was so rude to everyone and why his face was gloomy.

This person has been controlled by PUA for too long, and their emotional expression has become problematic!

wrong……

How did this guy discover that his driftwood was from a "parents' group"?

Didn't the ghost story textbook say that thing distorts cognition?!

Bai Hui hesitated for a moment: "You want to escape your family of origin?"

"This is my main motivation for studying hard!" Feng Jue said coldly.

"So... how did you find out that Driftwood was a member of the 'Parents Group'?" Bai Hui asked in confusion. Although he only had a general understanding of the setting of this strange group, the shock he received at the time was so great that his sanity value plummeted by eighteen points.

but……

I know this thing has the characteristic of 'cognitive distortion'!

Although it's now understandable why Feng Jue would want to sacrifice himself as a "driftwood offering"...

But how did this guy discover that he was being 'PUA'?

He's only a first-year high school student!

He couldn't even condense the Heart Qi!

"?"

Feng Jue was clearly taken aback: "Because I have good grades! Wait... why would you ask that... are your grades really your actual grades?"

Could it be... you really cheated on the exam?

Before Bai Hui could say anything, Feng Jue pleaded again with a cold face, "Teach me, please!"

This is the most direct way to improve academic performance!

Bai Hui: "...Well, class is starting, let's talk later."

……

Yu Lian, and even the other classmates, looked toward Bai Hui's location several times, clearly wanting to get closer, but were all driven back by Feng Jue's cold and intimidating gaze.

Normally speaking.

It's rare for a typical high school student to have that kind of gaze.

Before today, Bai Hui felt the same way about Feng Jue as the other students.

but now……

This guy is probably feeling pretty bad too!

Furthermore, since he is aware that he has been manipulated, he may not be far from condensing his inner demons.

……

The school bell rang.

All the students in Class 3 of Grade 1 spontaneously formed a square formation and stood still.

Bai Hui couldn't remember where he was originally, so he could only stand next to Li Youye with a stiff upper lip.

So Bai Hui stood alone in the third row... Li Youye, because of his height, stood on the outermost side of the third row.

Once the lines were in order, Bai Hui knew where he had been standing... so he could just find an empty spot.

Before Bai Hui could act, the figure of physical education teacher Wu Peng suddenly solidified in front of the line like a black wind.

First, Wu Peng saw Bai Hui standing alone in a line.

"Oh? Isn't this one of the top thirty in the grade in this monthly exam?"

Wu Peng recalled the news he had received not long ago.

Bai Hui has already condensed his inner demonic energy, and in terms of athletic performance, he is considered to be among the top ten in his grade... Yes, before Bai Hui, there were already nine students who had become martial artists at the demonic energy realm within the two months since the start of the semester.

Although Bai Hui's situation is somewhat special, this matter cannot be made public on a large scale for the time being.

but……

That would allow us to make some adjustments to the teaching plan for Class 3 of Grade 11.

Wu Peng thought for a moment and then said, "Alright, since you're out, just stand there, all of you... spread out in a gymnastics formation!"

All the students in Class 3 of Grade 1 immediately sprang into action and completed the new formation in the blink of an eye.

Bai Hui noticed Wu Peng's figure, which vaguely resembled some kind of flickering phantom, seemingly flashing on and off.

There are some noticeable frame drops.

Even in the "simple lines" state, Wu Peng's movements were so fast that Bai Hui couldn't even see them clearly.

Turning my head, I realized that this physical education class wasn't just being held by Class 3 of Grade 11; there were other classes as well.

The physical education teacher for the other classes is also Wu Peng!

"Is this... a clone technique? Or high-speed movement?"

Bai Hui was surprised.

"As usual, let's start with a set of Eight Pieces of Brocade. While maintaining the precision of the moves, we can't let our breathing fall behind, and we also need to speed up the process."

If your class can meet the requirements today, you can begin learning Xingyi Quan...

As he spoke, Wu Peng's figure dispersed again. Including Bai Hui, there were a total of forty-nine students in Class 3 of the first year of high school. In front of each of them, there was a figure of Wu Peng!

"Your breathing is wrong!"

"Raise your hands!"

"Push harder! Why aren't you pushing? Didn't you eat breakfast?!"

Wu Peng then offered his guidance.

He alone managed three classes and over a hundred students on the playground!

With ease!
