Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Yang City was particularly chaotic tonight. Many places were brightly lit, and people were in a hurry, busying themselves in front of computers.
For the sake of exposure and popularity, the major newspaper companies in Yang City did their best to uncover the secrets behind the phenomenon. In the end, they decided to focus on the area where the Qin Kai Cultivation School was located.
They all knew that this would be a piece of news that would shock the entire province!
Everyone was looking forward to tomorrow’s arrival. They were all wondering how people would react after finding out about tonight’s incident.
…
Amidst the busyness and anticipation, the next day finally arrived.
The sun had risen, and the first rays of the morning sun shone down on every corner of Yang City. There was only one room that was still completely dark, as if it was still nighttime in there.
An ear-piercing alarm went off in the room, chasing away all of Chen Pingan’s sleepiness. Chen Pingan did not move on the bed. Instead, narrowed his eyes and looked for the direction of the alarm.
“Gotcha.”
He suddenly looked in one direction. A second later, the alarm clock was turned off.
“It’s good that I have psychic power. What a blessing for someone with terminal laziness.”
Chen Pingan turned off the alarm with his mind. Although he was still lying on the bed, his Spirit Sense floated out of the room and entered into the elevator with a group of teachers who were headed to their respective classes. He wanted to use his Spirit Sense to experience the wonderful journey to work.
The elevator reached the first floor and his Spirit Sense floated outside the staff dormitory. The group of teachers walked out of the staff dormitory in twos and threes.
The teachers greeted each other in a friendly manner and those with good relationships would walk together and chat as they headed towards the teaching building.
“Did you guys go online last night? Something big happened!”
One of the fashionable female teachers said in shock. From her tone, the others wondered if something big had happened last night.
Chen Pingan could even hear the tiny sounds of ants chewing on food, much less the loud voices. It was not difficult for him to hear them.
However, Chen Pingan was not interested in the gossip between the female teachers. Just as he was about to spread his Spirit Sense further, he heard a shocking piece of news.
“What happened?”
A few teachers gathered around the female teacher. They had prepared the lesson plan late last night and did not have the time to go online.
As the person who usually knew about the latest news, the female teacher was exceptionally well-informed in the field of gossip.
“Do you all still remember the two strange phenomena that appeared above Yang City?”
The female teacher was very satisfied with everyone’s reaction. She didn’t reveal what she knew directly and continued to whet everyone’s appetite.
“I remember! Hey! Don’t change the topic. Tell us what happened last night.”
“That’s right, Yue Qing, hurry up and say it. Stop whetting our appetite!”
Everyone was anxious, but they couldn’t stop Yue Qing from whetting their appetite. It worked on them all the time.
The female teacher named Yue Qing smiled without saying a word.
“Did another phenomenon appear again last night?” One of them was a male teacher wearing black-framed glasses who looked like a programmer. He pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and said firmly.
“Really? Yue Qing, is that true?”
Everyone had doubts about the male teacher’s guess. Every time he made a guess, he would appear so certain. For some reason, his guesses were always ridiculously wrong.
Yue Qing’s female teacher nodded with a smile, confirming the male teacher’s guess.
“Ah? He was right? Nice one, Teacher Wen. You’ve finally gotten it correct for once.”
“Sigh, how can that be considered big news? The first two phenomena were shocking because we had never seen something like that before. However, by now, we’re already used to it. It’s not like there’s anything new this time.”
Everyone laughed and joked around. They were no longer as enthusiastic as they were when they had heard about the first two phenomena. People were visually stimulated, after all. The previous two phenomena were very shocking, but by now, they had already gotten used to it.
The people of this world, be it the residents in the Xin Guang Residence or the students and teachers of the Qin Kai Cultivation School, were all unusually calm. Even if an earthquake happened at this moment, all of them would still not be fazed and would just escape calmly.
When Chen Pingan heard that there was a strange phenomenon last night, he felt glad. He could only think about how fortunate he was to have left the neighborhood so quickly.
However, that did not stop him from watching the show. He wanted to see what kind of commotion the neighborhood expert had caused this time.
“You’re all mistaken. The abnormal phenomenon this time around is very different. If you all were to see it, you would definitely take back what you just said.”
Yue Qing’s smile disappeared. She recalled the strange scene from last night and was still a little afraid.
The other teachers thought that she was deliberately mystifying things. In an attempt not to embarrass her, a few of them started to play along, “What kind of phenomenon was it then?”
“For Yue Qing to care so much about this phenomenon, it must have been extraordinary!”
“Yeah, right.”
Yue Qing knew that these people didn’t believe her, so she lost her interest. She stopped chatting with them and quickly walked towards the field. School was about to start and the field was already filled with melodious music.
“I’m not talking to you guys anymore. All of you will find out and be scared silly soon enough. I’ve tried my best to convince you guys, but it seems like no one believes me.”
After Yue Qing finished speaking, she ran straight to the field and walked to the class she was in charge of.
The other teachers did not stop her. Everyone was also very busy and had their own classes to look after.
Because of Qin Kai’s school rules, all the students had to gather in the field to listen to the morning news from Monday to Friday at 8 AM.
It was said that the rule was made by the first principal. When he was young, the first principle always busied himself with studying and paid no attention to the outside world.
In the end, due to his lack of knowledge in current events, not only did he not get his name on the celebrity rankings, he even did poorly on his college entrance examination and lost 20 points!
At that time, the first principal had sworn to watch the morning news every day, and this habit stuck with him even after he started working.
Even after becoming a principal, in order to maintain his habits, he specially set this school rule.
Ever since then, the teachers and students would watch the morning news together from Monday to Friday.
This tradition had been established ever since Qin Kai Cultivation School was founded.. Under the pressure of that first principal, the tradition lived on.
