Chapter 5: So I Am a Peerless Genius

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The next day, the entire Qu City High School was in an uproar.

“What? Our Qu City High School has a peerless genius?”

“It can’t be. Our Qu City High School has been ranked at the bottom of all high schools in the city for five to six years. Why would there suddenly be a peerless genius?”

“You don’t believe me? Hadn’t you noticed that the entry to the training hall had now been barred? Someone even saw the numbers on the blood essence testing machine and strength testing machine with their own eyes.”

“Blood essence value of 2,000 units and strength value of 13,000 kilograms. Simply ridiculous!”

Zhou Hao had just entered the classroom when he heard these words.

He was stunned.

“What peerless genius? Could it be because of what I did last night?” Thinking of this, he quickly went forward to ask for an explanation.

Last night, he had accidentally destroyed two of the top equipment in the school. When he returned home, he was not at ease and did not even sleep well.

Seeing Zhou Hao, the students pursed their lips. “You must be ignorant. Something big happened in our school last night.”

“What is it?” Zhou Hao asked.

“A student secretly snuck into the training hall yesterday for strength-testing. The test value even reached the limit of a high-level martial artist! Don’t you think it’s awesome?” The more the other person spoke, the more excited he became, as if was the peerless genius himself.

“Oh, I see!”

Zhou Hao was now certain that the peerless genius they spoke of was no other than himself.

However, he did not want the school to pursue the matter any further.

After all, he could not afford to pay for the two expensive testing equipment.

“Maybe it’s fake news. The best student in our school is Xu Ling and she is only at the third level of blood essence.” He shook his head.

A female student sneered, “Zhou Hao, what do you know? Can you imagine the strength of a peerless genius?”

A few of his classmates chimed in, “That’s right. A summer insect cannot talk of ice. The world of peerless geniuses is not something you can understand. Zhou Hao, you should at least think about how to get to the first level of blood essence.”

Zhou Hao was speechless.

He could not be bothered to continue talking nonsense with these ignorant classmates.

He scanned the classroom and frowned when he saw that Zhang Yi was not there. Usually, Zhang Yi was the first to arrive.

“Where’s Zhang Yi?” He asked a classmate who was close to Zhang Yi.

“Oh, Zhang Yi, I think he’s working in the cafeteria,” the classmate replied.

Zhou Hao immediately felt guilty. He had borrowed 1000 yuan from Zhang Yi yesterday, causing him to have to work in the canteen early in the morning.

He hurriedly left the classroom and rushed to the canteen.

By the time he arrived, the canteen had been cleaned.

Zhou Hao looked around and saw Zhang Yi squatting in a corner. He was eating a steamed bun with pickles. The steamed bun was dirty and was probably left by someone else.

“Zhang Yi,” he called softly as he walked over.

Zhang Yi looked up and saw that it was Zhou Hao. He smiled. “Why are you here?”

Zhou Hao could not help but ask, “Is that all you eat?”

“I’m used to it. It’s nothing.” Zhang Yi smiled.

“Hold on, I’ll finish it right away.” As he spoke, Zhang Yi wolfed down the food.

“I’m sorry. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have borrowed money from you,” Zhou Hao said regretfully.

Zhang Yi quickly said, “What are you talking about? We’re all classmates. It’s natural for me to help you when you’re in trouble.”

Seeing that Zhou Hao was about to continue, Zhang Yi changed the topic. “By the way, did you hear about the peerless genius that appeared in our school last night?”

“A lot of people are talking about this matter. Even people from our class are talking about it.”

At this point, he said in a low voice, “What happened last night is most likely true. I was arranged by the school to clean the training hall today and saw the values on the two devices with my own eyes.”

“That’s amazing. If I could reach a tenth of that, I’d wake up laughing in my dreams.”

Zhou Hao looked at Zhang Yi’s envious face and said firmly, “Zhang Yi, believe me, you will achieve it one day.”

“Hopefully!”

Zhang Yi said casually. Zhang Yi’s family was even poorer than Zhou Hao’s and he also had a younger sister who was in junior high school. There were very few resources that were provided to Zhang Yi.

A day passed in the blink of an eye.

The news of Qu City High School having a peerless genius had already spread throughout the entire city’s upper echelons.

Many big shots that could only be seen on television even visited Qu City High School.

But this had nothing to do with Zhou Hao.

He was thinking about how to earn money quickly. Firstly, he wanted to return the money he borrowed and also improve his family’s life. Secondly, he wanted to buy more mystery boxes.

In the principal’s office…

After receiving many important people from the city, Principal Zheng and the dean were exhausted. They sat lazily in their office chairs without caring about their image.

The dean prepared two cups of hot water and placed them on the table. He frowned and said, “Principal Zheng, it seems that the leaders from the Bureau don’t believe that a super genius has appeared in our high school. The City Lord’s attitude is also unpredictable and it seems that it will be very difficult to take advantage of this opportunity to apply for some resources.”

Principal Zheng didn’t mind and said, “It’s understandable that the Bureau’s leaders and the City Lord are cautious. After all, this is a big matter and they can’t afford to make any mistakes. Besides, without meeting the genius personally, how would they believe it so easily? I definitely wouldn’t.”

The dean nodded.

Indeed.

This matter was indeed somewhat ridiculous.

Their Qu City High School had been ranked at the bottom of all the high schools in the city for so many years. For them to suddenly claim to have a peerless genius, anyone who heard it would think that their school’s leaders were lying.

Naturally, their motive for lying would be to get more resources from the city.

“What should we do now?” asked the dean.

Principal Zheng took a sip of hot water and smiled like a fox.. “It’s very simple. We have to find that peerless genius!”
