“As a student, and him as the Vice Principal, No. 17 High School is his Territory. No matter what, I cannot win against him on his Territory. Since I cannot win, I will change Territories,” Li Cunxu had a clear understanding of his situation.
Shi Jintang thought that if he didn't approve, Li Cunxu wouldn't be able to study at home? Ridiculous. This world belongs to the Alliance, not just him.
After figuring out a solution, Li Cunxu went to ask the teacher for leave. The teacher looked troubled: “I’m sorry, the Vice Principal instructed me not to grant you leave.”
Li Cunxu nodded, indicating he understood.
“I apologize for putting you in a difficult position.”
If he won't grant leave, does that mean I can't leave? Are the legs under me just for show? Shi Jintang is truly ridiculous.
Li Cunxu went to the sports field, saw no one around, climbed the plane tree, and scaled the wall to get out.
After leaving school, Li Cunxu headed straight for the Education Bureau to report Shi Jintang for bullying students, stating he felt unfairly treated at No. 17 High School and requested a school transfer.
Reporting to the Divine Beast World Education Bureau is very effective. If someone reports that the food in the school cafeteria is terrible, the Education Bureau will send someone to disguise themselves as a student to experience the cafeteria. If it is truly bad, the Education Bureau will order the school to rectify the situation. If it remains bad the following year without change, the Education Bureau will lower the school's rating and reduce its annual funding.
A lower rating means fewer students will enroll, and reduced funding will worry the Principal and the head of the Finance Department.
To prevent students from making frivolous reports, the Education Bureau has an additional verification procedure.
A staff member brought in a stone statue of a small unicorn beast.
The small beast statue is actually an Honesty Beast, possessing lie-detection capabilities, exclusive to the Alliance Police Bureau.
This one was borrowed from the neighboring police precinct.
Li Cunxu repeated what he had just said and added, “I am willing to take responsibility for what I have said.”
The staff member saw that the Honesty Beast did not use the stone horn on its head to Ramming Li Cunxu, proving that what Li Cunxu said was the truth.
“Student, you can go back now. We will process your school transfer paperwork as quickly as possible.”
“Okay, thank you.”
Li Cunxu rode his Bicycle towards the Muyuan Plain.
On the way, Li Cunxu was still very angry.
“Just reporting isn't satisfying enough!”
Li Cunxu glanced at a bookstore by the roadside, went in, and bought a black notebook and a pen.
『New Calendar Year 100, September 3rd.
Shi Jintang tried to get something for free and bullied me; I will remember this grudge.
In the future, I will return it with ten Beat Ups. 』
A gentleman’s revenge is not too late even after ten years.
Today, Li Cunxu intends to emulate the gentlemen of antiquity and record his grievances.
The Muyuan Plain arrived. Following the location on the Land Deed, Li Cunxu found the ranch Chen Xi had given him.
The plaque on the ranch gate was Decayed, swaying precariously, threatening to fall at any moment.
Hearing the sound of someone approaching, the Guard Dog barked a few times, and a person emerged from the dilapidated Wooden House.
This person was a bit strange, wearing a camouflage cloak in broad daylight.
Only when the person walked closer did Li Cunxu clearly see the face hidden beneath the cloak.
It was an all-metal mechanical face, with Gears turning at the corners of the eyes.
This face looked somewhat familiar. Li Cunxu stood on his tiptoes and looked behind the person; there was something resembling a hunting rifle on their back.
Li Cunxu knew who the other party was.
The other party was not a human, but a humanoid Mechanical Pet, a Mech Hunter.
The Mech Hunter possesses advanced intelligence and language systems just like humans; aside from its body not being in Human Form, it is essentially no different from a person.
Li Cunxu tried to check the other party's Panel, but nothing displayed.
The Panel cannot display owned Pet Beasts, nor can it display the Guard Dog following at the Mech Hunter’s feet.
The Mech Hunter took out a photograph from its chest, compared it with Li Cunxu, and said in a hoarse voice, “Excuse me, are you Mr. Li Cunxu?”
“Yes.”
“Hello, I am the ranch bodyguard hired by Miss Chen Xi, specifically to protect you and the ranch’s safety. You can trust me completely.”
Complete trust? What an extravagant word.
Li Cunxu found this impossible to do.
The Mech Hunter looked down at the Guard Dog and said, “Both Ah Huang and I owe Miss Chen Xi a debt of saving our lives; we swear to protect your safety until death.”
Li Cunxu asked, “Can you show me around the ranch?”
“Certainly!”
After touring the ranch, Li Cunxu found it hard to believe; this ranch was ten times larger than No. 17 High School.
“Did I come to the wrong ranch?”
“Mr. Li Cunxu, you have not come to the wrong place.”
“There’s no need to call me Mr.; it sounds too awkward. Just call me by my name.”
“Addressing you by your name directly is too disrespectful.”
“Then change the address. Call me Ranch Owner!” Li Cunxu thought for a moment.
“Understood, Ranch Owner.”
The Mech Hunter went into the Wooden House, took out a card, and handed it to Li Cunxu.
Li Cunxu didn't understand: “What is this?”
The Mech Hunter replied, “This is the bank card Miss Chen Xi left for you. It contains one million Cash for operating the ranch.”
Li Cunxu fell silent. Aside from dilapidated fences and endless Green Grass, there was nothing else on the ranch; purchasing supplies was necessary, but that required money.
Although his Parents left him a considerable Legacy, he used all of it to buy Forbidden Spirit Nails to nail his Younger Sister.
Unless he sold the house, but the house held memories of his Parents, and Li Cunxu did not want to sell it unless absolutely necessary.
Li Cunxu accepted the bank card. Since he already owed a favor, he didn't mind owing a bit more; he believed he would be capable of repaying it in the future.
“Since the ranch requires dairy cows, they are indispensable. However, before buying cows, the Cow Shed must be Repaired first.”
Li Cunxu looked at the Cow Shed that had collapsed into Ruins, his mouth twitching a few times. How long had this ranch been abandoned?
Li Cunxu searched online and found a Construction Team with good reputation and credibility.
A moment later, a car stopped at the ranch entrance. A young woman stepped out, wearing denim overalls, with a wooden hammer hanging from her left Waist and a wrench from her right Waist, a Lollipop dangling from her mouth.
“Excuse me, are you Li Cunxu who contacted the Lin Family Construction Team?” Lin Xiaoxuan asked.
“It’s me.”
“What are you planning to Repair?”
“I want to rebuild a Cow Shed and build a Wooden House for me to live in.” Li Cunxu pointed at the dilapidated Wooden House where the Mech Hunter was staying, “Renovate its Wooden House.”
Li Cunxu looked at the Guard Dog. The Mech Hunter shook its head, “Ah Huang doesn't need a doghouse repaired; he lives with me.”
Li Cunxu stared at the ranch and thought carefully again, “Build a small Warehouse as well; the rest can wait for later.”
Lin Xiaoxuan asked again, “How big should the Cow Shed be? How big should the Wooden House be? How big should the Warehouse be?”
Li Cunxu told Lin Xiaoxuan his requirements.
“The Cow Shed needs to house thirty cows, the Wooden House should be around one hundred square meters, and the Warehouse should be small.”
Lin Xiaoxuan took out her notebook, “The Cow Shed is fifteen thousand, the Wooden House is ten thousand, the Warehouse is twenty-five thousand. Renovating the other Wooden House will be free, as you are a new client.”
“The total is forty-five thousand. Will that be by card or Cash?”
“Card.”
As soon as the card was swiped, Lin Xiaoxuan immediately smiled.
Please vote for me.
