The Crybaby Alpha is Actually Really Cool - Chapter 14

As Cheng Shu had predicted, Nie Wan only climbed out of the pit after daybreak. The damned cage actually had the function of confining the spiritual domain and sealing off spiritual energy. Nie Wan was half-dead with anger, but he still had to carefully restore the trap, pretending he had never been there.

Only Chen Chi, that lunatic, had the materials for the cage. If that lunatic Chen knew that he had damaged his trap, Nie Wan dared not imagine the horrible scene.

Damn it, if he had known it was Chen Chi’s thing, he absolutely wouldn’t have touched it.

Nie Wan was brimming with resentment, and he decided to vent his frustration on the new little darlings. How could they possibly memorize all one hundred spiritual tools when they looked like they wanted to sleep the moment they started listening to the lecture? Nie Wan had already planned what little gifts to prepare for those who couldn’t answer.

Hee hee hee, this is truly exciting~

At the same time, everyone else was also worrying about the questions in the morning class. They walked to the entrance of the Hongwen Building but didn’t want to go in, as if delaying entry by one second could bring them one more second of happiness.

Ruan Qingyao’s group of four searched everywhere for Wen Yuchen and Xu Lingguang but couldn’t find them. With class time approaching, they all entered the classroom, following Cheng Shu’s suggestion.

At eight o’clock, the class bell did not ring. Instead, a solemn voice sounded: “We are now issuing a public reprimand to Wen Yuchen and Xu Lingguang for deliberately avoiding breakfast…”

Ruan Qingyao and the others felt relieved. So, they were caught and locked up in solitary confinement.

Xu Lingguang, who also heard the public reprimand, angrily pounded on the door of the dark room: “Why is my name listed second? Why?! This young master demands to file a complaint, change it for me.”

Late-stage ‘Top-Ranking-itis’, no cure.

Nie Wan tisked twice in regret. It was a pity he had things to do today, otherwise, he would definitely go over to watch. This was the first time someone had been put in solitary confinement this year.

After entering the classroom, he kept staring at Cheng Shu. His interest in Cheng Shu far outweighed that in Ruan Qingyao. The combination of “drew a tie with him” and “new recruit” was simply too exaggerated. There had to be something fishy going on.

Nie Wan was still unaware that in the eyes of everyone, he, the professor of liberal arts, was only made of paper. A true Alpha should fight with real swords and guns; asking questions and giving punishments were things only done by weaklings!

Nie Wan’s gaze swept over everyone and finally landed on Ruan Qingyao again. Their eyes met, and both were speechless.

His sight was uncontrollable; it landed on Ruan Qingyao without him knowing how. Nie Wan was also helpless. He forcibly controlled his eyes to turn to Cheng Shu next to him.

After looking for a couple of seconds, his eyes involuntarily drifted back to the side.

Blame him for being excessively beautiful! Then he’d ask him first. Respect the choice of the heart, his kind self wouldn’t have bad luck, Nie Wan thought.

Ruan Qingyao was deeply annoyed, but he was already prepared to stand up. After class today, he was definitely going to put a sack over his head, secretly.

“You, answer first.”

Nie Wan said while opening his optical computer – a high-tech device, likely a tablet or screen). How could he possibly remember that stuff? Naturally, he had to look it up now.

“First, introduce the Sword of Tatawu to everyone.”

The introduction for this one was the longest, with a video lasting a full ten minutes. Nie Wan didn’t believe he could remember it!

Ruan Qingyao suppressed the urge to roll his eyes, only glaring fiercely at Nie Wan before his red lips parted, “The Sword of Tatawu comes from…”

Nie Wan’s brows furrowed more and more tightly. Damn it, how could he be word-for-word? And perfectly synchronized? Could this person be a robot?!

Suddenly, Ruan Qingyao stopped speaking, creating a gap from the video’s content. Nie Wan’s mouth curved into an arc.

Then Ruan Qingyao took out a cup of tea from his little box, cleared his throat, and continued reciting.

Throat maintenance must be timely! It’ll be too late if it gets dry and hoarse!

Nie Wan’s mouth twitched. That familiar, speechless feeling was back! He had to cut his losses immediately, otherwise, he’d lose more and more!

“Alright, you can sit down,” Nie Wan said. “Did you see? Everyone else needs to be able to do what Ruan Qingyao did.”

This short sentence immediately drew a lot of hatred towards Ruan Qingyao. Why did he have to show off so much? Didn’t he cause trouble for them?

“Next, it’s you, Mengpai Demonic Saber.”

Nie Wan casually pointed at someone who was glaring angrily at Ruan Qingyao.

This person was Qin Tao.

Sudden-called upon, Qin Tao’s mind went blank. He anxiously patted his head. He had clearly watched the video about this saber because it was as beautiful and ornate as his own sword, so he had given it extra looks.

“Did you not review after class? It looks like you’re ready to accept punishment.” Nie Wan’s voice floated over eerily, pressuring Qin Tao.

Qin Tao desperately smacked his head, but he just couldn’t remember.

Nie Wan showed a satisfied smile. Next, he called on people one by one, very quickly, as most couldn’t answer.

“I am not someone who punishes for the sake of punishment. All my actions are for your own good.”

“The spiritual tool summoning situation yesterday was not good for anyone, so I specifically applied for the virtual training cabin. Normally, you wouldn’t need to use the virtual training cabin until six months later, because the training process in it is quite painful. So, this also counts as a lesson for everyone. Remember to review properly after class in the future.”

For a moment, those who had answered correctly didn’t know whether to be happy or regretful. How could something that improved one’s strength be called punishment?

It wasn’t until Qin Tao, the lucky one, went up and demonstrated for them that they were more grateful they had answered correctly.

Qin Tao lay down in the virtual training cabin, and his figure appeared on the large screen, a God’s perspective.

After the initialization was complete, Qin Tao appeared in an arena. His opponent was a spider-worm.

Soon, Qin Tao was pierced through by one of the spider-worm’s legs, dismembered, and eaten by the creature. The scene was extremely realistic, as if it were a video recording reality.

A chill ran through everyone’s hearts. Suddenly, a smell of urine appeared in the classroom.

Nie Wan curled the corner of his mouth, pulled Qin Tao out of the virtual training cabin. Qin Tao’s eyes were unfocused, and his body twitched continuously.

“The little darling’s stress tolerance isn’t very strong. But it’s okay, he’ll get better with more practice.”

“Who was next after him? Be mindful, don’t waste everyone’s time.”

The person who was questioned after Qin Tao walked over. There was a puddle of yellow liquid in the training cabin. “D-Do I just go in like this?”

“Otherwise?” Nie Wan countered, then suddenly showed a look of sudden understanding. “Are you afraid of the mess? Just get used to it in advance. When you’re on the battlefield in the future, you might have to drink urine and eat rats in an emergency.”

He sighed, appearing like a caring teacher for naughty students, and lifted the training cabin to pour out the liquid inside. “Alright, hurry up and get in.”

Nie Wan’s gaze was eerie; he was clearly smiling, but it sent shivers down people’s spines.

“Okay, okay.”

Ruan Qingyao couldn’t help but shiver and whispered to Cheng Shu, “He’s so perverted.”

Cheng Shu nodded, but couldn’t help but say, “All sorts of situations can happen when you’re really on the battlefield.”

Although he had never reached the point of running out of ammunition and food, he had heard that in such times, only surviving is real, and everything else is empty.

“Don’t worry, with my treasure box, we absolutely, absolutely won’t be short of food or water.” Ruan Qingyao’s lowered voice was soft and sweet, like a feather landing on an ear, making it tickle. Cheng Shu couldn’t help but touch his own ear.

The boy’s confident look was incredibly lively. Cheng Shu felt uncomfortable and gently hmm-ed once.

This time, what appeared was not a spider-worm but a worm-bug. Its body was fat and long, mostly white, but the slime flowing from it was yellow. Its mouth opened to reveal several rows of fine, dense sharp teeth.

Nie Wan said: “There are eight types of Zerg worker-bugs. I’ll take this opportunity to explain their respective advantages and weaknesses to everyone, so you won’t be clueless  when you encounter them in the future.”

On the screen, the worm-bug swallowed the person’s foot into its mouth, crunching as it slowly fed the person into its mouth piece by piece.

Outside the screen, Nie Wan used a pointer to introduce the worm-bug: “We can see that its teeth are small, but numerous and very hard. It can be said that the mouth is the most powerful part of the worm-bug. When you encounter one, it’s best not to run in front of its mouth.”

“This is the approximate location of the worm-bug’s digestive sac. The food it eats is digested here. The happy thing is that once the worm-bug’s digestive sac is operating, this area is extremely vulnerable. It can be defeated with just a light strike. In the past, when fighting worm-bugs, people would bring some food to feed it first before eliminating it, but now that we humans are so strong, there’s no need to waste food.”

He lectured vividly, so vividly that the stomachs of the listeners below constantly churned; they wanted to vomit but dared not.

Everyone’s end result was being eaten by bugs, even though many of these bugs don’t actually eat people in reality!

The two hours and twenty minutes of the morning class were pure torture.

Some people couldn’t help but wonder why such a perverted person would become their teacher.

Of course, it was because these acts, which caused psychological shadows for the new recruits, would increase their survival rate on the battlefield. Survival is paramount .

As for whether anyone would be unable to bear it and collapse? How could that be? Alphas’ psyches are all very strong, and Betas who dare to volunteer are definitely not weaklings.

Ruan Qingyao left the classroom with a pale face. It wasn’t because he was overly scared, but mainly because the whole classroom was filled with a stench of urine. Even with the windows open, it was useless.

“Qingyao, how are you?” Cheng Shu was very worried.

After all, he was still a young man who had just left home. It was normal for him to be unable to cope for a while. Look at Xiong Yan, that big guy, wasn’t his face also ashen?

Ruan Qingyao rubbed his eyes with distress and grievance while pretending to be strong, “I’m fine, I’ll be better after a little rest.”

This made Cheng Shu even more heartbroken.

Cheng Shu tried to tell something funny to distract Ruan Qingyao, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn’t come up with anything. He suddenly realized how barren and meager his life of the past thirty years had been.

It seemed he needed to find a joke book to improve his skills. Cheng Shu didn’t know why this thought had occurred to him, but once it did, it grew rapidly like a wildfire.

At Training Ground No. 1, Gao Juntian finally appeared. He looked as if he had suffered tremendous torment, completely haggard.

However, seeing the new recruits who looked even more haggard than him, Gao Juntian’s drooping face finally broke into a smile, a dazzling, stabbing-to-the-eyes smile.

“Oh, my dear darlings, that bad fellow Nie Wan must have made you very tired and exhausted. Don’t worry, I will make you even more miserable.”

Everyone: …

When they have new recruits in the future, they want to be instructors too!
