Chapter 163: 163 Artworks

Ji You stared with wide eyes, her mouth agape, and her eyes revealing an incredulous expression.

This look—

Honestly, it was somewhat comical.

Sheng Qingyan felt a bit strange; he had said so much before, and Ji You seemed so calm, he thought she didn’t care at all. But she had such a huge reaction just because he casually mentioned his own valuation—

So—

She wasn’t indifferent before; she was just pretending to be?

Humph—

What a tsundere ghost.

Sheng Qingyan said, "Poor dead, your jaw dropped... pick it up, it looks hideous..."

Ji You:"..."

Sheng Qingyan continued, "If you are willing to work with me, and we successfully buy the Master’s items, I’ll pay you a labor fee... 50,000? 100,000? Uh— if the item is good, I can even pay you 150,000."

Ji You, with her mouth still open, couldn’t listen anymore.

So—

She secretly set her own price at 1.3 million, which was no less than the market price and no more than the highest price. She already thought she made a big profit, turns out in the eyes of these tycoons, she was a great person selling cheap goods.

Yingyingying...

Ji You stared at her own hands: she wanted to chop them off.

Only good at selling cheap.

What’s the use of these hands?

Ji You was both angry and anxious, still listening to Sheng Qingyan’s triumphant prattle, and she was so annoyed that she almost slammed the table!

Ahhhh—

million?

She only sold for 1.3 million? Isn’t that a huge loss?

A loss of 700,000?

Isn’t that 3.5 million for five?

3.5 million!!!

Ji You was so upset she could barely breathe.

What kind of tragic human affair is this?

Sheng Qingyan, still babbling non-stop, tirelessly persuading Ji You, "Poor dead, this is such easy money, where else can you find it? Just help me monitor the Master’s store, and as long as you grab an item, I’ll definitely pay you 150,000 credit points for labor."

"I keep my word."

"I never lie to people."

Ji You: "Shut up!!!"

Sheng Qingyan stared: "You don’t agree?"

Ji You: "Keep it up and I’ll slit your throat!"

She kind of understood why Chu Jiaojiao always threatened to slit Sheng Qingyan’s throat every time they talked.

But—

Suddenly, Sheng Qingyan’s demeanor changed, her presence became sharp: "4444! What did you just threaten me with?"

Ji You: "..."

She almost forgot that she herself is weak, without the strength of Chu Jiao.

So—

Threatening for what?

Sheng Qingyan, undeterred, pressed: "Are you sure you want to slit my throat?"

Ji You: "..."

Damn it!

This person, threatening someone, still has to be so oh this and oh that...

Really—

So effeminate it leaves you speechless.

But Ji You was unfazed by the threat, and even glanced sideways at Sheng Qingyan, "Are you sure you want to keep talking to me? If I can’t handle you, can’t the teacher?"

Right now, she didn’t want to talk to Sheng Qingyan.

She just wanted to find a corner and secretly wipe away tears of regret.

Yingyingying~

Sheng Qingyan covered her mouth, stifling a laugh: "It seems you don’t know yet... why is Teacher Cheng Yu’s class so popular? Because he doesn’t care what students do in class and still gives them high grades..."

Just at this moment—

Slap—

A sudden gust hit right on Sheng Qingyan’s smooth forehead; it turned out to be a sunflower seed shell.

Sheng Qingyan: "..."

On the stage.

Cheng Yu with a dark face said, "That poor sod who got hit by the sunflower seed shell, what’s your name? Spit it out! Let’s see if I would favor you?"

Sheng Qingyan shrunk his neck, playing a coward.

What a joke, no matter how bold one is, you can’t act tough against a teacher.

Cheng Yu said, "Everyone here listen, this semester I’ve decided to change my teaching methods. After some deep reflection, I feel I have been too lenient with you all. Just look at you now—sleeping during class, daydreaming, whispering, and even openly discussing whether the teacher is good or bad! Do you think the teacher has no dignity?"

"You guys——"

"Here, I’ll omit ten thousand words. You can imagine them yourselves."

"Anyway, whoever wants to earn academic points from me, it won’t be easy anymore." Cheng Yu decisively declared.

Students: "..."

All students glaring deadly at Sheng Qingyan’s spot: It’s all this troublemaker’s fault that everyone has a hard time now!

Ahhhh——

Really want to beat him up!

Sheng Qingyan shrugged his shoulders and even hid behind Ji You.

Ji You: "..."

Thought this guy was tough.

Didn’t expect him to be such a coward.

"Cowardly as a quail!" Ji You couldn’t help but sneer at Sheng Qingyan. As soon as the words fell, suddenly something blurry flew straight toward her head—

Ji You quickly dodged by turning her head.

However—

Another object flew straight at her, hitting Ji You’s clean face accurately.

Ji You: "..."

Cheng Yu scolded, "And you, you little shorty! Don’t be too excessive. You’ve been whispering with that little quail for so long, you think the teacher doesn’t know? My patience is limited."

Ji You: "..."

Ji You exhaled, blowing away the sunflower seed shell on her nose tip, and in an instant, she shrank her neck, acting even more like a quail than Sheng Qingyan next to her.

You gotta be kidding—

Act tough against a teacher, you got a death wish?

After all, this is the easiest class to earn academic points.

If you lose the academic points from Teacher Cheng Yu, there’s nowhere to even cry about it.

Seeing both Ji You and Sheng Qingyan cowering and behaving, Cheng Yu’s face finally showed a hint of a smile. He turned towards the other students and smiled, "Now, let’s all appreciate an artwork together."

Artwork?

Just the name alone couldn’t spark any interest. But the students still gave face and strived to look.

They saw—

Cheng Yu suddenly pulled out a small gift box, and the holographic screen magnified it, allowing students sitting near or far to clearly see what was inside the box:

Everyone: "Just this?"

Inside the box, there laid a set of delicate earrings, pink stones glimmering beautifully.

However—

No matter how beautiful, they’re just cheap stones.

Companion Stones to Xuan Stones, who doesn’t recognize them?

Facing the indifferent looks from the students, Cheng Yu’s lips still bore a slight, appropriate smile, "Seeing these earrings, do you feel disappointed?"

Students: "No!"

Cheng Yu: "You are disappointed because it’s just an ornament, right? This ornament, although just an ornament, what I want you to appreciate is its craftsmanship..."

At this moment—

Ji You’s mouth formed an ’O’.

Sheng Qingyan’s reaction was even more exaggerated; his eyes widened, staring at the earrings in Teacher Cheng Yu’s hands:

This—

Aren’t these exactly like the ones I’m wearing on my ears?

No!

Not the same.

At this moment, a hint of regret flashed in Cheng Yu’s eyes, "Unfortunately, I wasn’t lucky enough to grab a few more pairs, could only get these art pieces to satisfy the craving."
