A few people returned to school in a low-key manner, without disturbing other students, and a group of people came to Lao Sun's house. Ever since she graduated from college, Liu Yunqian had hardly forgotten what it was like to be on campus. She followed a few people to Lao Sun's house, feeling somewhat restrained.
She is not a native of Star City. She is a foreigner who went to college in Star City and then stayed in Star City. She has no interaction with Jiang Yue and the others. In this situation, she is naturally a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, Lao Sun and his group of students are all students with simple personalities and do not have many bad habits in society.
Lao Sun himself was also easy-going. Everyone was busy preparing lunch, which somewhat relieved Liu Yunqian's embarrassment.
Liu Yunqian obviously did a lot of housework in his daily life. He did such tasks as washing and chopping vegetables in a decent manner and very neatly, which made Lao Sun feel a little embarrassed.
"Ms. Liu, you are a guest, how can I let you do something? Why don't you go and rest."
"It's okay. Idle time is also idle. If I don't work, I can't sit still by myself. Once I sit down, I tend to think randomly. I might as well do some work on my hands, which will just relieve me."
After hearing what she said, Lao Sun stopped admonishing her.
It's a pity that Han Jingjing is not in school today. If that girl is here, maybe the atmosphere can be adjusted.
"Teacher Sun, is Xiao Jiang your student?"
"Yes, these children are all my students. I took them with them to Yangfan Middle School for almost six years. I watched them grow up."
"The relationship between your teachers and students is so good, I'm so envious."
"These children are simple and kind. As a teacher, I can't teach them anything now. To be honest, if it weren't for these students, our father and daughter would not have the stable life we have now. The world today is really not peaceful. ah."
Who says it's not?
Liu Yunqian thought of her daughter inexplicably, and felt pain in her heart again.
At this time, Jiang Yue teased Xia Xia for a while and came over to help.
Liu Yunqian now admires and fears Jiang Yue, and at the same time feels a bit ashamed and guilty.
Jiang Yue helped her time and time again, and Liu Yunqian knew it. It's a pity that I have always failed to live up to my expectations and made the other party unhappy.
With the combined efforts of several people, this not-so-easy lunch was completed quickly.
Several people sat around and enjoyed it.
In today's world, a complete meal like this is actually considered a luxury.
Jiang Yue was not idle at the dinner table, asking Tong Feifei and Wang Xiawei about their awakening status.
Liu Yunqian ate in silence and listened silently without interrupting.
However, Tong Feifei greeted him warmly and helped Liu Yunqian pick up vegetables from time to time, as if he had found a close friend.
Liu Yunqian knew that the little fat man meant well and was not pretentious, so he smiled gratefully.
After putting down the bowl, Lao Sun said: "Jiang Yue, the principal came to see me this morning. It seems that the competition system has been finalized and is waiting for the final signature. The principal is still a little uneasy. He is worried that someone will favor No. 1 Middle School in the competition system, so he still I want to discuss it with you."
"Sure, I'll find out later." Xingcheng No. 1 Middle School's challenge to Yangfan Middle School has been mentioned since Teacher Gao Yi was here, and now it's something we have to face.
With the current disadvantage of Yangfan Middle School, Jiang Yue is undoubtedly their last card to play, so Jiang Yue has no responsibility for this matter.
As he was talking, the principal came uninvited.
"Haha, Jiang Yue, I just heard that you came to school. As soon as I put down my job, I stopped you at Teacher Sun's house. Your whereabouts are uncertain now, and I'm afraid you'll slip away again if you're late."
After the principal had interacted with Jiang Yue several times, he seemed to be very familiar with him, like an old friend.
Now Lao Sun's group of students can be said to be the backbone he relies on the most. He really has to be fawning and serve well. This is the only hope for Yangfan Middle School to turn around.
Seeing that there was a stranger in Old Sun's house, the principal did not show his surprise on his face, but said with a smile: "Teacher Sun, we have a guest at home."
"This is a friend of mine who is also an awakened person." Jiang Yue directly ignored these polite greetings and said, "Principal, is there any news about the challenge competition at No. 1 Middle School?"
"Teacher Sun, have you told me? There are currently two plans. Why don't you go to my office to discuss them in detail?"
"OK."
"Classmate Tong Di, classmate Wang Xiawei, if it's convenient... let's go and listen too? You two are now the pillars of our Yangfan Middle School." The principal smiled and flattered us.
Sure enough, Tong Di suddenly smiled and enjoyed it very much.
"Go, everyone goes."
"Sister Liu, please sit down at Teacher Sun's house and talk later."
Liu Yunqian is now afraid of the outside world and has not fully adapted to this strange world, so it is obviously unrealistic for her to leave alone.
She was completely unprepared.
Arriving at the principal's office, the principal showed Jiang Yue and the others two sets of challenge plans.
These two plans are two completely different plans.
One plan is for both sides to directly send players to compete. This method is the most direct, primitive, and intuitive. The winner takes all.
As for how many players to send, the above stipulation is that the minimum is seven, the more the better.
The reason is of course very good. The more players participating in the competition, the more it can reflect the foundation of a school and the general level of awakened people.
This statement is actually a blatant hooliganism, knowing that the awakened people in Yangfan Middle School have been hollowed out, and there are only so many awakened people left that can be counted on the fingers of both hands.
In this case, the statement that the more people the better, is obviously deliberately aimed at Yangfan Middle School. Undoubtedly, he was recommended to No. 1 Middle School and suppressed Yangfan Middle School.
The second option is more tortuous, but it is not a direct confrontation. It's a bit like the assessment competition system at the Botanical Garden last time.
Choose a strange event, select a location, and conduct a task assessment. Then set some points, and both sides will decide the outcome by obtaining points.
However, this plan also has numerical requirements, with each side sending at least four people.
On the surface, this plan is at least more reasonable and fairer than the first plan.
At least that's what it appears to be.
After Jiang Yue and others read it, Jiang Yue was silent, but Tong Feifei spoke first: "This first plan is obviously aimed at us, so we must choose the second plan. Is there any doubt?"
Wang Xiawei is also a simple person. Judging from the literal meaning of the plan, there is no doubt that the second plan is more reasonable and fair.
"Jiang Yue, what do you think?"
Seeing that Jiang Yue was not in a hurry to express his position, the principal asked tentatively.
"Both of these plans are traps."
The principal did not refute, but nodded: "You can see it too. There are obvious differences between the two plans, but there is indeed a trap here."
Tong Feifei and Wang Xiawei were somewhat puzzled. After all, they were still thinking as students on campus, and after all, they could not grasp the sinister aspects of the human heart so precisely.
"But Jiang Yue, these two plans are already the final plan. Choose one of the two, and there is no room for change. We must either accept the challenge or admit defeat."
"Admit defeat? How can we admit defeat?" Tong Feifei was the first to shout, "Principal, are you kidding me? How can our Yangfan Middle School give in to No. 1 Middle School?"
The principal smiled bitterly and said: "The situation is stronger than the person."
He actually didn't want to admit defeat. The reason why he said this was just to test the attitude of these key students.
Especially Jiang Yue's attitude.
It's a pity that Jiang Yue saw through this aggressive strategy of retreating in order to advance.
"Principal, it's now time. We, our own people, should stop playing aggressive tricks."
The principal hurriedly explained: "Actually, it's not a provocation. If you have to risk your lives to fight, I'm willing to admit defeat. I won't have to worry about having no firewood to keep the green hills."
"If you take a step back, maybe you can take ten or a hundred steps forward in the future."
Jiang Yue chuckled and said: "Principal, you know better than us. There is obviously no retreat now. One step back will lead to an abyss. If one step back, Yangfan Middle School may have no future, or even be disbanded. Everyone will have to run out of food and get out, right?"
"Even if it is not directly disbanded, the food supply will definitely be deducted in the future, which will further squeeze our living space."
"Then we can't take this step back no matter what." Jiang Yue was still able to grasp right and wrong.
"Yes, there is no reason to take this step back. Principal, don't be as ambitious as others. Let me put it here, as long as there is a monitor in Yangfan Middle School, we have the king of bombs in our hands. I don't believe we will lose to their No. 1 Middle School. "
Tong Di's tone made people feel that he had more confidence in Jiang Yue than Jiang Yue himself.
"Fei Fei, don't brag, be more steady."
"I'm not bragging. No. 1 Middle School is too arrogant right now and has never been dominated by you, monitor. Sooner or later you will let them know that they were too proud too early."
"Jiang Yue, what do you think of these two plans..."
"Now we have no conditions to choose the first plan. In fact, we only have one option, which is the second plan."
"But this plan is very likely to be a trap. It is very likely that they have far more details than we do. Their preparation may be 90%, and ours may be 30%. Although the higher-ups cannot openly blow whistle on the details of the game. , but they can totally do something shady about the preparation details before the game."
"This is what we have to face now. Principal, you can also use this to make demands to them. If we win, how the food supply should be distributed and how many resources should be given must be implemented in real data. "
"This is no problem. I will definitely take control of this aspect. I will never let you bleed and sweat while we hold you back in vain."
"They definitely want us to agree quickly, so before agreeing, they have to make some strict demands to have the best chance of realization."
"There is no official talk, everything must be implemented in documents." The principal said.
"Okay, then choose the second plan." Jiang Yue made the final decision.
In this regard, Jiang Yue now obviously has more say than the principal.
The principal is now a messenger. Jiang Yue has the final say on which plan to choose and how to respond.
Tong Feifei suddenly said: "The second plan requires at least four people. Who should we send out here?"
Jiang Yue had to decide this issue.
"Principal, when will the player quota and list be finalized?"
"This can still be postponed for a while. Anyway, we have chosen this plan. We can take the opportunity to argue with the boss for another two days. I guess it will be no problem to postpone it for another three to five days. Let's take this opportunity to let the awakened people get familiar with each other. Plan what staffing configuration is most reasonable.”
"That's all the materials we have at hand now. Let me tell you, with the squad leader taking the lead, Han Jingjing, and me plus Xiawei, the four of us have the unshirkable responsibility. The others lack a tacit understanding with us and are not in the same circle. We are afraid that we will not cooperate enough when the time comes."
Speaking of awakened ones, there are actually a few left in Yangfan Middle School, including Wei Shanpao who has completely changed his past.
But no matter how affectionate everyone talks, when big things happen, the small circle will always take priority.
This is not selfish, but an objective fact.
Jiang Yue said, "Jingjing's identity is relatively sensitive. Whether she can participate is another question. If someone uses this challenge to set up a trap for Han Jingjing, we must take this risk into account."
The principal also nodded and said with deep approval: "Jiang Yue was very considerate. Han Jingjing's identity is indeed not suitable for participating in this confrontation publicly. Yangfan Middle School cannot bear this risk and responsibility."
Tong Feifei thought about it carefully and knew what Jiang Yue and the principal were worried about.
"Oh, it would be great if Li Yue and Doudou came back. They have been home for a long time, and it's time for them to come back."
"The boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, so don't worry too much about it. Compared to the current situation, this challenge is actually not a big deal."
Looking from Jiang Yue's perspective, the height and depth he saw were obviously far beyond those of student gangs like Tong Feifei and the others.
Just a challenge, how big a deal is it?
"Monitor, it's about the century-old glory of our Yangfan Middle School. Isn't this a big deal?" Tong Feifei said with a playful smile.
"Many strange events are happening in Star City every day. The situation is getting worse. I always have a hunch that all this is just an appetizer. The real test is far from coming. Look at the relationship between the two schools now. , are still in the mood to fight against each other, and are jealous, which proves that the situation has not completely collapsed! When it really does collapse, just staying alive will have to go all out, and it may not be enough."
Everyone knows that Jiang Yue is not alarmist.
But everyone's mentality now, to put it bluntly, is more or less a fluke mentality. They always hope that maybe now is the worst time, and the situation will slowly get better next.
But is this really the case?
Jiang Yue patted Tong Feifei and Wang Xiawei on the shoulders: "We must be mentally prepared for the worst."
Both nodded thoughtfully.
The principal naturally knew better. When he heard Jiang Yue's words, he looked at the young student with deep envy, and for a moment he was filled with envy.
It is better to be young, and it is better to be young and strong.
This young man's vision has indeed transcended the school structure and reached a very high position.
There is no doubt that if the situation completely collapses one day, this young man will live better than most people.
