Chapter 43: The High School League! Pre-Game (1)

  It was already dawn, and I was sleeping soundly when suddenly there was a commotion above my head. I opened my eyes to see Principal Li of Beiyang High School shouting in his loud, raspy voice, "Wake up! Today we're going to compete against the other three high schools! Let's go!"

  Last night was a big commotion, most people didn't go back and fell asleep directly in the League of Legends e-sports hall. Many people got up and complained, "I haven't slept well yet, can't we wait a bit longer?" "It's just now, what time is it?" "Yeah, it's only 10 o'clock, let's sleep for a while."

  Old Li jumped up: "You sleepyhead! It's already 10 o'clock and you still want to sleep some more! I'll beat you to death! Get up for your old man, or else I'll start singing!"

  "Come on, sing! Even if the earth explodes now, we still want to sleep."

  Old Li took a deep breath and shouted: "It's you who forced me!" Then he sang anxiously: "Ahhhhh oh ahhhhh I love! Ahh death... stupid you!"

  Old Li had just finished singing and looked down, only to see the students' eyes wide open like owls at night, each holding a watermelon knife: "Kill him!" "Charge!" "Defend our ears!" "Get rid of him!"

  Liu Yi pulled us into the car, while Cheng Yi and Ye Wen were still sleeping. Chen Yu gave me a signal and took the initiative: "Which one do you choose?" I was shocked! How did we end up like kidnappers?!

  Me: "I choose Cheng Yu." Chen Yu: "Alright, your sister Ye Wen is mine then."

  Before I could finish speaking, Liu Yi hit the back of Chen Yu's and my heads: "Stop talking nonsense! Quickly carry those two guys onto the car!"

  I and Chen Yu carried Cheng Yi and Ye Wen onto the car and laid them flat on the seat. Behind were just the two of them, but in front, it was a desperate squeeze with me, Chen Yu, Yang Xu, Xie Fan, Manager Liu Yi, and He Yu - six people! Luckily, Manager Liu Yi's car is quite unusual, being super wide horizontally but not vertically, otherwise I would have been squeezed to death.

  Liu Yi drove away first, and I pushed open the crowded Chen Yu Xue Chang who was squeezed in front of me and asked Liu Yi: "Manager Liu, what about the school? Those people are holding watermelon knives and want to take Lao Li's life!" Liu Yi lit a cigarette and released toxic gas in this small space, and only after everyone protested did he throw the cigarette butt out of the car window. Liu Yi said: "You don't have to worry about Lao Li, he is the principal, and his actions are beyond your imagination. Sometimes he's even more bizarre than me."

  I'm going! Manager Liu, you're quite self-aware!

  Old Li on this side of the school remained calm in the face of danger, seeing so many watermelon knives surrounding him, he let out a loud shout: "A man has three urgencies!" In an instant, he ran away without a trace. The crowd hadn't reacted yet, "What's going on?" "Where did the principal go?" "A man has three urgencies? He must have gone to the toilet!" "Damn! He's fooling us!" "Charge!" "Kill!" "Get him!"

  A crowd of students rushed to the toilet, and Old Li came out with his pants unzipped: "Huh? Everyone's here? Good, no need to wait until we get to the competition venue and still have to find a toilet. Go ahead, remember to hurry up."

  Many students: "Oh." Only after entering the toilet together did they react: "Damn! We didn't come to use the toilet!" "Forget it, since we're here, let's just flush first and talk later."

  Old Li led the students who had finished their water break to the playground, "Is there anyone who doesn't want to go?"

  Many students: "No!" "Right! If there was, we would have stayed here for so long? We ran away early!" "I just came to watch the game these two days! Hurry up and go! I want to watch League of Legends!" "I'm watching StarCraft!" "I'm watching CrossFire!"......

  Old Li: "Comrades! Don't be in a hurry! Everyone, please take a look!" Old Li points to the sprinkler trucks that suddenly appeared on the playground. The students are puzzled: "What's this for?" "Are we going to water first and then go?"

  Old Li: "Hurry up and get on the bus! Because we overslept today, so we had to rush to the fire brigade to borrow two water trucks." The students: "......"

  At this moment, Liu Yi drove back, no mistake, he drove back to Beiyang High School, why? This manager Liu Yi had no idea where the road was and took us for a wild ride! He didn't think of an excuse to turn back until halfway through when he saw that there was almost no gas left! I have never seen such a shameless manager!

  A group of people got off the bus, and Cheng Yixiao and Ye Wen also woke up. They looked around drowsily and fell asleep again. I saw a row of sprinkler trucks and fire trucks in the middle of the Beiyang School playground, and someone said that there was a fire somewhere. I rushed forward to ask about the situation from my classmates in front, and only then did I find out that it wasn't as serious as I thought.

  "I was scared to the point of breaking out in a cold sweat." As I watched the students continuously walking into the fire truck, I felt a wave of joy. There weren't many fire trucks, but there were a lot of students. Before long, the fire truck was packed with students, yet there were still quite a few people outside who hadn't gone in.

  Xie Fan rubbed his glasses: "What to do now? Are we going to walk past?" Yang Xu: "It shouldn't be." Me: "Then how are we going to get past? Manager Liu's car has run out of gas, and he doesn't know the way if we don't follow him." Chen Yu: "I guess they want us to sit on top of the fire truck to get past."

  Chen Yuxue, you can sit on top of the fire truck and go, we swear we won't stop you.

  Principal Li waved his hand: "Comrades! Students! Although the fire truck is full! But we still have police cars!"

  Wooooo~~!! Police cars came in one after another from outside the North Yang School gate, leaving us a bit stunned. Old Li rolled his eyes: "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and get on! We still need to familiarize ourselves with the venue when we arrive!"

  "This is also too exaggerated... The police station has all come, and those who don't know think something happened here."

  Look at the people on the road outside Beiyang School, one by one covering their faces and running away in a hurry, making me break out in a cold sweat. The students inside the fire truck stuck their heads out of the window: "Wow! So cool! Why do they get to ride in a police car, while we have to ride in a fire truck? It's not fair!" "I protest! We want to ride in a fire truck too!" Many people wanted to get off the bus, but under Old Li's command, the fire truck's doors locked and it sprayed water as it sped away from the school. The students inside looked discontented, some even wailing loudly, while others recited the poem of Jing Ke's assassination attempt on the Qin Emperor: "The wind is somber and the Yi River is cold, a brave warrior leaves and never returns!"

  Damn, really? I wiped the sweat and got on a police car with Chen Yu. We waved our hands, and Cheng Xi, Xiao Mei, Ye Wen, Xie Fan, Yang Xu, and even He Yu, who always substitutes, all came one after another.

  He Yu: "Can't you just not mention being a substitute for thousands of years?"

  "Officer, let's go." The driver was a young policeman wearing a hat, and I couldn't see his face clearly. However, judging from his build, he should be quite young. The policeman turned around, took off his hat, and smiled at me. "It's you! Yu Rui!"

  Yu Rui is actually the primary school deskmate who was with me for a while, a middle school disease patient. He's also participating in the competition today, how did he become a police officer and start driving a car! Did this kid get his driver's license?!

  Cheng Yi, a little beauty, came over: "Ye Fei, do you know each other?"

  "I'm right, his name is Yu Rui, he's my junior high school classmate." I looked at Yu Rui: "When did you get your driver's license, how come I didn't know?"

  Yu Rui started the car and suddenly accelerated, causing our hearts to jump. The police cars behind us also came out. I last saw Liu Yi manager driving his strange car following the "main team" out of the door. In the end, only one old man was left to watch the door. When I took a look, I felt at ease, and it turned out that he was the same old man who had been chasing me for 20 kilometers behind my back.

  The car suddenly turned halfway and went around in circles, anyway, it didn't drive along a straight line. Chen Yuxue looked at Yu Rui strangely: "Brother, are you saying that driving is like this? Don't laugh at me, I don't know how to drive, I'm not good at this."

  Xie Fan adjusted his glasses, almost dropping them: "I also can't drive." Yang Xu: "...". In this car, the only one who can drive is Yu Rui.

  Everyone's eyes were on Yu Rui, and at this moment, Cheng Yi's little beauty and Ye Wen's sister were also completely awakened by Yu Rui's "excellent" driving skills, shaking along with the crowd. Yu Rui turned on the music in the car, I said: "Yu Rui, let me take a look at your driver's license."

  Yu Rui: "Driver's license? I don't have that thing."

  Me: "Whoa! You don't have a driver's license and you still dare to drive! Unlicensed driving, you're asking for trouble! If the police catch you, you'll be heading straight to jail!"

  Yu Rui pointed at the vehicle body: "You forgot, didn't you? The car we're sitting in now is a police car."

  Oh my god! Murder! I thought Yu Rui was going to drive but it turns out he's improvising! Geez! And driving so fast too!

  The car is now like a swing, swaying left and right. Everyone: "Stop the car! We want to get off!" Yu Rui stopped the car: "You also want to drive? No problem! Come on." Yu Rui got out of the car and bowed to us: "Who's next?"

  It's all your fault! We don't want to see you again! Everyone ran away instantly, bumping into Manager Liu Yi. Principal Li was desperately chasing after him from behind. It seemed like Manager Liu had caused trouble again. I asked: "Manager Liu, what did you do to Principal Li this time?"

  Liu Yi panted heavily: "Damn! Old Li is acting weird today, driving all over the place, scared me to death. I think he's still drunk from last night, let's switch cars."

  Just as we were talking, Old Li caught up and grabbed Manager Liu Yizhong, shouting: "How can you not believe what I said! This car is automatic remote control! The route is all set! This is high-tech, do you understand? No need to drive yourself, just pay attention to pedestrians sometimes, move the steering wheel and buttons, and don't worry about anything else!"

  Liu Yi: "I've never heard of such a high-tech car in the world. According to you, everyone can sleep while driving to work and eat, so why are there still so many people holding onto the steering wheel?"

  Old Li: "This is our first batch of research and development, handed over to us for testing."

  It turns out we're lab rats!

  Old Li: "Don't say it like that, after this batch of cars is tested and passed, they will be given to us, what a good deal."

  So it was... Security Captain Old Wang is here! He's going to blow him up!

  We found a few more cars, forced them to stop, and after messing around in the car for a while, I felt that it was indeed as Principal Li said, an automatically controlled vehicle. The route is all predetermined, and there is no need for drivers to keep touching the steering wheel. The function of the steering wheel is only to remind the car to avoid pedestrians.

  We bid a tearful farewell to Manager Liu Yi, Old Li: "Must you guys go!"

  Back in Yu Rui's police car, this time Chen Yu sat in the driver's seat. The thing I was most worried about happened, and Chen Yu pointed to the steering wheel and said "when are you going to take it apart?" I had to keep a close eye on him.

  Cheng Yi: "Ye Fei, why are you staring at Chen Yu all the time?" Ye Wen: "Brother?" Xie Fan adjusted his glasses and coughed, He Yu drew circles while gazing out at the scenery, Yu Rui was having a severe case of chuuni-byou, one moment he was the demon king, the next he was a transforming robot. Yang Xu: "Ye Fei, could it be that you have feelings for Chen Yu?"

  I'll slap you to death! I'm working so hard to keep an eye on Chen Yu, isn't it all for our life safety?!... Not good!

  I watched as Chen Yu's hands moved, could it be that he really wanted to start dismantling the steering wheel? "Pull over! I want to get out of the car!"
