Chapter 641: 641

Chapter 641 Life of a High School Student

The hour and minute hand on his watch met, pointing to zero together .

Zhang Heng received a system reminder in his sleep and learned that his quest time had been extended from 20 days to 140 days . Since it was set in the modern-day, the prolonged game time had undoubtedly more pros than cons . In other words, there was now more time to explore this dungeon . He could hone his skills, and at the same time, there was no need for taking additional risks .

However, was this quest as peaceful as it portrayed?

The alarm woke Zhang Heng up early the next morning

Having left high school life for quite a while, he would need some time to get used to the grind again-waking up early every morning, then gobbling down breakfast as fast as possible before the mad rush to school . Returning to high school all of a sudden made him a little uncomfortable, not to mention that yesterday’s homework was uncompleted .

After coming back from the river last night, he wanted to complete his homework, but the moment he looked at them, he found that he had forgotten a lot of things . So he gave up on doing it completely .

After breakfast, Zhang Heng grabbed his schoolbag, said hello to his grandfather, and left for school .

Although he knew who the person under the bridge’s pier from last night was, he didn’t immediately confront the person . The first reason was that the person would not run away from this place for now, and the second was that everything seemed normal in this dungeon so far . Nonetheless, Zhang Heng made sure that his guard stayed up all the time .

On the bright side, at least he had not done anything beyond his status as a student yet .

After waited for a while, Zhang Heng finally got on the bus . There were many students and office workers who went on the same bus . One of the girls with pigtails took advantage of the time to memorize some texts . When the bus became too crowded, the driver shouted, “Stand back a little! Stand back a little!”

Zhang Heng had no choice but to move half a step toward the pigtailed girl . The two were almost sticking together . She then raised her head and looked at Zhang Heng . Immediately, he showed an apologetic smile to her . The girl with pigtails quickly lowered her head to the point it almost got buried in the textbook .

Zhang Heng had been taking this route for some time now, and this wasn’t his first time encountering her . Judging from the textbook she was holding, she should be a year older than him . In reality, however, Zhang Heng had never spoken to her, nor did he know her name until she completed her college entrance examination .

The purpose of this quest was not for Zhang Heng to relive the memories of high school . Seeing that the girl was well into her textbook, he didn’t intend to disturb her . So, the two stood close together until they arrived at the school . Zhang Heng was encumbered by the crowd and had to squeeze his way to get off the bus . He tidied up his slightly messy clothes and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar school gate . The current time was 7:15, only five minutes left before the day’s classes began .

Knowing he could be late, Zhang Heng picked up the pace like the other students around him . He found his class by memory, and not long after he put down his schoolbag, the bell rang . Zhang Heng had traversed many quests, and he had also done all sorts of odd jobs . However, the busiest job was none other than a high school student .

This was the kind of life where you opened your eyes every day, and the day was fully arranged . However, the magical part was that although everyone was super busy every day, they still managed to squeeze out some time to engage in relationships . It was as if everyone had 48 hours a day .

Zhang Heng felt a little dizzy after a day of class, not to mention his summoning to the office by many teachers since he failed to hand in his homework . Fortunately, he had not caused too much trouble, making a good impression of himself in front of his teachers . Zhang Heng told the teachers that he was not feeling too well, the most effective excuse to avoid reprimand . However, this was just a temporary solution .

Fortunately, Zhang Heng had someone that he knew sitting beside him . Her name is Bai Qing, a friend who happened to be the class study committee member .

“Are you okay? Did Teacher Song scold you?” asked Bai Qing with concern as she looked at Zhang Heng, who had just returned from the office . She was the one who had notified Zhang Heng to go to the office earlier .

“I told them I had a fever last night . ”

“You were sick last night?” Bai Qing was a little surprised . “No . ”

“Then, you’d better complete your homework next time . If you just get good grades, the teachers will stop coming after you . And you won’t be so lucky next time,” Bai Qing reminded . Apparently, she hadn’t forgotten her duties as a member of the study committee .

And Bai Qing could not figure out why Zhang Heng gave her a different feeling today . Unlike before, Zhang Heng was obviously absent-minded in class . He paid not the slightest attention to the lessons, whether it be math or English . He did not even bother to open the textbooks on his table . Although Zhang Heng would occasionally let his mind wander, this was Bai Qing’s first time seeing him being so disconnected for the whole day . She also noticed that he would write something down in the textbook with a pen from time to time, only to cross it out a moment later .

Zhang Heng acknowledged Bai Qing . The girl thought that he would heed her advice, constantly feeling that he was different from the other boys in the class . He had a kind of maturity that did not match his age, as if he knew what needed to be done all the time . After a while, she heard Zhang Heng asking her a shocking question .

“Can I copy your homework?”

Upon his request, Bai Qing was speechless . “The teacher is no fool . He can tell that you’ve copied someone,” she replied .

“It makes sense . I shall borrow another person’s homework to copy from it . ”

It was troublesome enough to come to school every day without knowing what was going on . Zhang Heng was in no mood to do homework school like before . Although he had an extra 24 hours every day, he had no intention to abuse himself .

“Copying from multiple copies of homework… is not the solution, either,” Bai Qing frowned . “You will suffer in the exams . You can’t lie to yourself when it comes to learning . ” As she spoke, she handed her homework and examination papers to Zhang Heng .

Ordinarily, Bai Qing could sit at her seat for a long time to finish up her homework . During the break, Zhang Heng had never once seen her leave except for toilet visits and fetching water . By the end of the school day, her homework would have been almost done .

“Thank you,” Zhang Heng nodded and took the workbook . “I will treat you to a cup of milk tea later . ”

“Coco?”

“Whatever you want . ”

“I want a double portion of boba pearls . How about English and Biology homework? I haven’t completed them yet,” Bai Qing offered .

“I can complete English by myself . As for biology, can you come to school early tomorrow morning?”

“Yes,” Bai Qing nodded . Seeing Zhang Heng grabbing his bag, she hesitated and let out a “Hmm…”

“Why? Is there anything else?”

“I will help you… for a week at most . After that, you will have to do your own homework . ”

Looking at Bai Qing’s serious expressions, Zhang Heng did not defend himself . He simply nodded and said, “I will see if I can find another way then . ”
