Chapter 23 - Chapter 23: Su Yuan, Have You Ever Tried Quitting?

Morning, Dao Heart class.

The Dao Heart class teacher is a squinty-eyed young man who looks under thirty, dressed a bit sloppily, with a very ordinary name, Wang Liang.

"Students, today we'll have a small Dao Heart test."

Upon hearing there was going to be a pop quiz, the faces of a group of students immediately fell, but Su Yuan secretly felt a bit of anticipation. He really wanted to know how he performed in terms of Dao Heart.

"Please unlock your phones and bring them to me."

This Teacher Wang suddenly added.

The students: "???."

Is this pop quiz so strict? They actually have to confiscate phones before the test!

But the next second, Teacher Wang explained further:

"Don't worry, I have no interest in confiscating your phones. It's just that this test is a bit special, and phones can be used as tools for the test."

Only then did the students relax a bit, handing over their phones one by one until the teacher's desk was filled with phones with lit screens.

Then they saw Teacher Wang pull out a Treasure Sword, holding it horizontally with one hand while pointing at the phones on the desk with the other. The phones immediately floated up like butterflies, screen upwards, and lay steadily on the sword's blade.

The three-foot blade was completely covered by over twenty phones.

"Today's Dao Heart test is simple. Each of you will come up and hold this sword, and I will simultaneously turn on the splash screen ads on these phones."

"If your heart is still enough, so the blade doesn't waver at all and no splash screen ads transition, you will pass this Dao Heart test with full marks."

Teacher Wang squinted and smiled.

"Hiss—"

Immediately, there was the sound of gasping for air.

Sure enough, squinty eyes are all monsters! Using such a cruel method to test!

Those are splash screen ads! Even the slightest shake could directly transition to the ad app! This test actually requires keeping more than twenty splash screen ads stable in one go; the test is excessively difficult!

"Su Yuan, let's start the test with you."

Suddenly, Teacher Wang looked at Su Yuan among the crowd.

"Me?"

Su Yuan was slightly taken aback. Although he found it odd, it suited him just fine. He nodded and walked up to the podium.

Teacher Wang slightly opened his eyes, looking at the unremarkable young man in front of him, also wondering why Yue Lin specifically instructed him to pay extra attention to Su Yuan in the Dao Heart class?

Is there something special about Su Yuan?

Thinking about this, Teacher Wang handed the sword to Su Yuan, saying:

"Let me know once you're ready."

Su Yuan nodded, took a deep breath, focusing all his attention on the Treasure Sword in his hand, his mind empty of other thoughts.

Teacher Wang stretched out his hand, and over twenty threads formed by Spiritual Power emerged from his palm, accurately touching the surface of the phones on the blade at the same time.

The next moment, every phone screen was filled with splash screen ads.

At this moment, any slight shake felt by the phones would instantly enter the ad apps! Extremely dangerous!

However, facing such a perilous scene, neither Su Yuan nor the sword in his hand moved at all, as if time had stopped.

The whole class held their breath, tensely watching the scene until the splash screen ads ended.

Did it work?

Up to now, the students couldn't believe what they had just witnessed.

Teacher Wang revealed a smile:

"Su Yuan, 100 points for you!"

At this moment, the whole class erupted into cheers like a tidal wave!

"Holy crap, you can't fault that! Steady as a rock!"

"When did Su Yuan's Dao Heart become so firm? Did he go through some ascetic practice?"

Su Yuan chuckled, handed the sword back to Teacher Wang, and walked off the podium with large strides.

On the podium, Teacher Wang watched Su Yuan's back as he returned to his seat with a peculiar expression.

But soon, his gaze shifted to the other students, having them come up one by one to take the test.

The results, of course, were disastrous, with one splash screen ad after another transition, causing cries of despair among the students.

At noon, Su Yuan rushed to the cafeteria, collecting all the leftover food from students, and after they left, he dragged the leftovers to a corner and activated Demon Technique·Finger Spirit.

A Blue Pill once again appeared in Su Yuan's hand, with effects identical to the previous one.

"Goodness, the cafeteria food is definitely dosed with something strong, always producing a stable Blue Pill."

Su Yuan thought to himself sarcastically.

But anyway, having one more stable place to harvest items was a good thing for him.

He skillfully consumed the Blue Pill and then temporarily stored the food he drained in the cafeteria before Chen Nuoyi walked in through the door.

The two exchanged a glance, tacitly bought a big bowl of food, and sat down to eat together.

"Su Yuan, what's that job you mentioned that makes money? It's almost afternoon; when are we going to start earning?"

Chen Nuoyi asked a bit anxiously.

Su Yuan smiled mysteriously:

"Don't worry, let's eat first; after we're done, you'll find out."

"If it goes well, we won't just make a decent amount of money but also completely solve our food problem as well."

After hearing that, Chen Nuoyi quietly sped up her eating pace.

After they finished eating, with more than ten minutes left until classes resumed in the afternoon, Su Yuan took Chen Nuoyi straight to the cafeteria kitchen's doorway, approaching a kind-looking middle-aged Chef named Li:

"Chef Li, is the cafeteria still hiring? We're impoverished students and would like to work here after school."

Upon hearing that, Chen Nuoyi's face immediately showed signs of tension.

Working at the school cafeteria? But... she couldn't cook! Even grilling meat, she would burn it!

Chef Li, not noticing the expression on Chen Nuoyi's face, said with a cheerful smile:

"Recently, the cafeteria's revenue has been dropping, and we do plan to hire more chefs. If students from our school are willing to work, we would welcome them."

"But young man, you have to pass a cooking test to get hired. How's your cooking skill?"

Su Yuan confidently replied:

"Chef Li, don't worry. I have a family secret skill. Can I come to test after school? As for ingredients, please prepare some live geese and ducks for me; the higher quality the ingredients, the better, and they must be alive."

Chef Li pondered for a moment, nodding his head:

"There are a few live geese in the back kitchen, you can come by in the afternoon to try."

Though he said this, Chef Li was somewhat skeptical.

The geese in the back kitchen were all Spirit Beasts at the Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer, even the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer. Most students couldn't even fight them, let alone cook them!

He figured after this boy got beaten up by the geese, he would naturally give up.

But if he truly has the skill, letting him work at the cafeteria would also be no problem.

"It's settled then!"

Su Yuan waved to Chef Li with a smile, humming a tune as he walked out of the cafeteria.

Following behind him, Chen Nuoyi was already sweating profusely:

"Coach, the big money-making job you mentioned was being a cafeteria chef? But I have no idea how to cook! I can even burn grilled meat."

Su Yuan chuckled and replied:

"Leader, being a chef isn't just about skill; it's also about having the power to slay demons!"

"I have the skill, and you have the power. Together we make a perfect chef team!"
