"You bastard! How dare you lay a hand on the daughter of Mayor Zhao and the son of Director Wang?""Kneel and admit your mistakes!"
Seeing that Li Yan was being falsely accused and attacked, Wu Bei's expression darkened.
Now he finally understood why Zhang Xiaohua had already become a ghost before the supernatural events began.
Faced with selfish and unreasonable teachers, anyone would be filled with rage!
"Kneel to your mother? Die instead!"
—300
A bright red damage number appeared above Li Yan's head, and Wu Bei froze for a moment.
He instinctively asked, "System, what's happening?"
[Due to the host's current situation, this system has automatically updated a hotfix to better serve the host!] [From now on, when the host fights enemies, their stats can be digitized!]
Awesome!
Wu Bei was thrilled.
Digitizing the enemy meant he could clearly see the strength of his opponents, avoiding any surprise setbacks.
"System, scan Li Yan's stats!"
[Ding, system scanning…]
[Li Yan]
[Level 1 Supernatural BOSS]
[HP: 9700/10000]
[Strength: 15]
[Agility: 20]
[Spirit: 15]
[Talent: Snobbery]
[Snobbery: When Li Yan's HP is above 50%, all attributes +20%]
Hiss…
No wonder in his past life, the country only made guesses—no one could get an SSS rating.
Just these stats and this HP would make anyone entering the dungeon for the first time break out in a cold sweat.
But now, Wu Bei was Level 5.
With his title bonus, his agility was 35.
He had the speed advantage over Li Yan.
And with each attack dealing 300 damage, he could finish her off in at most thirty-four strikes.
Damn it!
With a plan in mind, Wu Bei charged at Li Yan again.
His arms, transformed into Soul-Cutting Blades, swung fiercely through the air.
In the blink of an eye, Li Yan's HP dropped below 50%.
"Stop! I'm not that easy!""If I don't help Zhao Yiyi and the others, they'll get me fired!"
Hearing her justify herself, Wu Bei's killing intent intensified.
"To protect your job while ignoring campus bullying… someone like you deserves to teach?""Go to hell and repent to Zhang Xiaohua!"
Bang!
Li Yan's HP bar hit zero, and her body collapsed with a thud.
The pointer she had been holding fell to the ground, glowing with white light.
"An item dropped!"
Wu Bei hurried forward and picked up the pointer.
Immediately, its stats appeared in his mind:
[Pointer (White)]
[Strength: 2]
[Agility: 3]
Not bad.
Early in the supernatural apocalypse, this was a valuable item.
Too bad he couldn't use it himself.
But once outside, he could sell it for ghost coins and trade for that world-shocking treasure from his past life.
Wu Bei stored the equipment in his system space.
Then he glanced at the timer on his wrist—fifteen minutes remained.
He stepped into the abandoned warehouse.
Compared to devouring other ghosts, he was more eager to find Zhang Xiaohua and earn a higher rating.
But upon entering, Wu Bei froze.
The feared Level 5 BOSS Zhang Xiaohua hadn't appeared.
Instead, a girl in a school uniform with a ponytail stood calmly, looking at him.
For safety, Wu Bei instinctively activated the system scan:
[Name: Zhang Xiaohua]
[Level 5 Supernatural Creature]
[HP: ??]
[Strength: ??]
[Agility: ??]
[Spirit: ??]
[Talent: ??]
What the… Level 5 supernatural!?
Wu Bei's expression changed.
A Level 5 supernatural was considered a BOSS even in national-level dungeons.
A novice dungeon housing a Level 5 supernatural… this was insane.
Just as Wu Bei considered retreating, Zhang Xiaohua spoke:"Teacher Wu, I won't hurt you. I just… want to thank you."
Relief washed over him.
He felt the kindness emanating from her, understanding that she was grateful he had avenged her.
He waved dismissively:"No need for thanks. Protecting students and punishing bad ones is what a teacher should do."
Tears welled in Zhang Xiaohua's eyes.
"You are such a good teacher…""It would be so lucky to be your student…""But I don't have much time left…"
Wu Bei felt a pang in his nose.
As someone who had suffered, he knew the weight of her words.
"If you don't mind, consider me your teacher from now on."
"Thank you…"
Zhang Xiaohua smiled.
But as her form slowly dissipated into light, Wu Bei's heart grew heavy.
He vowed that if the chance came, he would give this girl a brand-new life.
To achieve that, he needed the treasure soon to be released.
He would have to earn ten million ghost coins in seven days.
Wu Bei turned his gaze to the rename card.
Gritting his teeth, he said:"Rename Nightmare… global broadcast!"
[Ding! Congratulations, you have successfully cleared the Level 1 supernatural dungeon, 'Shancheng Teacher'!]
[Dungeon will close and calculate rewards in 3 minutes!]
What!? Already over?
Wu Bei didn't have time to devour the loot yet.
He dashed to Li Yan's body, continuously commanding:"Devour!"
[Ding! Congratulations! Host has devoured a Level 1 supernatural BOSS, gaining 10,000 EXP]
[Ding! Congratulations! Host has devoured 34 Level 1 supernaturals, gaining 17,000 EXP]
[Ding! Congratulations! You leveled up and gained 5 free attribute points]
Whew.
With ten seconds left on the timer, Wu Bei breathed a sigh of relief and waited for the final calculation.
[Ding! 'Shancheng Teacher' dungeon ended. Calculating rewards…]
[Trial participant: Wu Bei]
[Dungeon cleared: Shancheng Teacher]
[Completion: 100%]
[Rating: SSS]
[Rewards: Reputation 1000, EXP 20,000, Ghost Coins 3000]
[Ding! Congratulations! You are the first in the world to clear 'Shancheng Teacher', earning a Rename Card.]
[Ding! Congratulations! You are the first in the world to achieve SSS rating in 'Shancheng Teacher', gaining 1 Talent Evolution Point and Zhang Xiaohua's Gift.]
[Ding! Do you want to activate global broadcast with your real name?]
Zhang Xiaohua's gift?
Wu Bei ignored the system's question, curious instead about the red-glowing scroll in his backpack.
[Zhang Xiaohua's Gift: Upon use, the trial participant gains the power of a Level 5 supernatural for 3 minutes.]
This girl…
Wu Bei's eyes reddened.
He knew how risky it was for a supernatural to create such an item.
Yet Zhang Xiaohua, to save his life, did it without hesitation.
For the first time since his rebirth, Wu Bei had a goal beyond revenge:
To find Zhang Xiaohua and give her a brand-new life.
But to achieve this, he had to get that treasure.
Which meant earning ten million ghost coins in seven days.
Wu Bei looked at the rename card.
Gritting his teeth, he said:"Rename Nightmare… global broadcast!"
