Chapter 91 – Dumber than Average
Night, 1 A.M.
Inside the physics substitute building of Sixth High’s main teaching block, a wooden door suddenly appeared out of thin air at the room’s eastern wall.
Creak…
As the wooden door slowly opened, a head popped out of the gap.
This head belonged to none other than Little Peach.
She looked left, right, up, and down…and then left, right, up, and down again, before looking left, right…
“Let’s set aside this question as well. Let’s return to the multiple-choice questions. Question: What is the earliest form of wireless communication. Four options were given to you below. However, instead of choosing smoke signals, drums, pigeons, or others, you wrote ‘dreaming.’ Are you sick?”
Little Peach: “…”
“There’s more. A 0.5kg ball rebounds to a height of 4cm after falling to the floor. Your answer: How did the other party know this; For the mechanical energy challenge question that asks about the force required to pull a small cart, you answered that the cart can’t hold so many items. You even drew a truck and wrote that a truck can carry more load. You…”
Little Peach: “…”
“Just focus on answering the questions! Why are you writing all this nonsense?! The entire paper is filled with such answers! How do you expect me to correct this?!”
Tear!
After saying so, Chen Yu tore apart the exam papers, crumpled it into a ball, and stored it into his pocket. He then said, “Bring me a new set. There are definitely some in the office. I’ll rewrite the entire thing.”
“Are you not going to correct the answers anymore?”
“Correct my ass! Bring it over quickly!”
“Yes, sir…”
…
Meanwhile, on the rooftop of a multi-story building tens of meters away from the office, a figure slowly put down the high-powered binoculars they used and disappeared into the shadows under the cover of night…
…
By the time the human-robot duo returned home, it was already half-past-two in the morning.
Dragging his exhausted body into the room, Chen Yu threw himself onto his bed without hesitation. He did not even bother changing into his sleepwear.
“Mr. Chen, how about I continue going to school in your place for tomorrow? You can have a proper rest at home.
“When the day comes when I’m tired of living, sure. Until then, stay home and write programs. I’ve seen through you already. You’re not suitable for anything other than computers.”
“I’m a romance robot. Romance is my strong point.”
“You’re good at receiving a beating as well.”
Lowering her head, Little Peach frustratingly said, “I’m sorry. I don’t have any other skills and experience integrated into my processor.”
“…Forget it. I’m sleeping. You go back to coding. I should also thank you today. You’ve helped me quite a lot.”
“Hehe.” Upon hearing Chen Yu’s words of gratitude, Little Peach’s expression instantly changed as she revealed a dazzling smile. “I got praised. Favorability plus 20!”
“…Damned fool.”
Fed up with Little Peach’s antics, Chen Yu pulled his blanket and covered his face.
Meanwhile, Little Peach stood still and continued observing Chen Yu with a smile for a while longer. After she was satisfied, she returned to the study table and swiftly started coding.
In the calm and quiet night, only the lines of characters before her could prevent her from growing “cold.”
Tap, tap, tap.
Tap, tap, tap.
Tap, tap, tap, tap…
Time inside the room gradually passed under the tapping sounds of the keyboard.
After an unknown amount of time had passed, Chen Yu suddenly pulled aside his blanket and opened his eyes, his gaze focused on the ceiling above him.
“Mr. Chen, did I wake you? How about I go to the warehouse?”
“No, that’s not it. I just can’t sleep.” Resting his head on his arm, Chen Yu said, “When your brain is telling you to sleep, and you refuse it, it’ll keep you awake when you want to sleep out of spite.”
“How does it feel to sleep?” Little Peach asked in confusion.
“It feels like I’m trying to die but can’t, I guess.” Sitting up and removing his coat, Chen Yu yawned and laid back down, saying, “Hypnotize me with the rattle and send me into a deep sleep.”
“Okay!” Walking up to the bed, Little Peach picked up the Hypnosis Rattle from the bedside table and said, “The laptop I’m using is too slow and inefficient. If there’s an opportunity in the future, please buy one with better functionality using your watch.”
“That will have to wait until I have enough points. I barely have anything right now…”
“Why don’t you host additional livestreams to earn extra points, then?” Little Peach asked.
“…”
Gradually widening his eyes, Chen Yu stared at Little Peach in a daze. After a brief moment, he turned to look at the Spiral Ascending Aircraft sitting in a corner of his room…
