Chapter 250 – Eighth Official Livestream (Prelude)

Standing up, Chen Yu pulled out a ruler from underneath the coffee table. He then smacked it onto the exercise book, and sternly said, “Can you do your homework or not?”

“I can.”

“Do it, then!”

“I… I…” Timidly sneaking a glance at Chen Yu, Chen Sanke said, “I can do it if I have my tools.”

“What tools? A calculator?”

“Cookies.”

Chen Yu: “…”

“Buy me some cookies, then I’ll definitely be able to count!” Chen Sanke said, licking her lips. “Really.”

“…Fine. You said it.”

“Mhm, mhm.”

Placing down the ruler, Chen Yu turned around and went to put on his shoes. He then opened the security door and left.

Five minutes later, Chen Yu entered a minimarket, grabbed a few snacks, and tossed them on the counter.

“Boss, three bags of biscuits and two bottles of yogurts.”

“Twenty-four yuan.”

“I’ll pay by WeChat.”

“Here.”

After making payment, Chen Yu returned home and tossed the snacks onto the sofa. He then gnashed his teeth and said, “I bought them. Can you know how to do your homework now?”

“Yes! Yes!” Chen Sanke hurriedly nodded. She then joyfully opened a bag of biscuits and took out seven biscuits from it. Setting them on the table, she said, “Look, three biscuits plus four biscuits equals seven biscuits! So, 3+4=7!”

After saying so, Chen Sanke picked up her pencil and wrote ‘7’ behind the ‘3+4=’ question.

“See!” Chen Sanke cheered. “Big Brother, I didn’t lie to you, right? I told you I can get the answer right if you buy me cookies!”

Chen Yu: “…”

“Next, four biscuits plus four biscuits equals…eight biscuits!

“12+12=24 biscuits! Crunch, crunch…”

Chen Sanke snacked on the biscuits while answering her math problems. She also kicked her legs happily.

“14+14=…”

Two minutes later, Chen Sanke wiped the corners of her mouth and said, “Big Brother, I don’t have enough biscuits. I can’t count the answer.”

After remaining silent for a moment, Chen Yu raised his palm and said, “I think that aside from counting biscuits, counting slaps should work as well. What is 14 slaps plus 14 slaps equal to?”

Reacting quickly, Chen Sanke hurriedly covered her cheeks and said, “T-They’re enough… I have enough biscuits…”

After another 26 minutes had gone by, Chen Sanke finally finished her math homework.

With only the simple language homework left, Chen Yu initially thought that Chen Sanke could quietly finish the problems by herself. However, contrary to his expectations, he ended up enduring even more intense torture.

“Brother, how do you do this question?

“Big Brother, I don’t know this either…

“What is this question asking?”

Shutting his eyes, Chen Yu ma.s.saged his temples and took a deep breath. Trying his best to stay calm, he said, “What have you been learning at school?”

“Drawing, singing, and kneading plasticine.”

“Does your language teacher not teach you anything?”

“She does.” Chen Sanke nodded. She then shook her head and added, “I didn’t understand.”

“…Why didn’t you ask if you don’t understand?! I can’t understand it. If you’re not there to study, what are you going to school for? Don’t you feel even the slightest bit guilty for having such bad grades?!”

“Y-Your grades are worse than mine…”

“Shut up!” Chen Yu bellowed. Grabbing the ruler on the coffee table, he pointed at the first question on the exercise book and said, “Hurry up and write. I’m not your kindergarten teacher. I’ll hit you if you make a mistake.”

“Adults cannot hit children.”

“I’m a child as well. Write!”

Pouting, Chen Sanke gripped her pencil and looked at the question. After a moment of silence, she scratched her head and asked, “What does it mean to use ‘xx’ and ‘like’ to form a sentence?”

“Isn’t there an example above?” Pointing at the question, Chen Yu said, “‘Big Sister sings like an Oriole.’ So, you need to write ‘someone… blank… like… blank.’ For example, Big Brother runs like a cheetah.”

“Oh! Big Brother runs like a cheetah! How do I write cheetah?”[1]

“Don’t copy me. Think for yourself.”

“Mhm…”

Chen Sanke frowned and began racking her brain.

After some time, she looked at the husky in the corner, and inspiration dawned upon her. “Big Brother eats like a dog!”

“I’ll…” Chen Yu abruptly raised the ruler in anger and nearly sent it smacking into Chen Sanke’s face. In the end, however, he managed to hold himself back.

“What?”

“…Nothing.” Chen Yu picked up an eraser and tossed it onto the exercise book. “Change it! This won’t work.

“Then… Big Sister eats like a dog?”

“…”

After a moment of silence, Chen Yu suddenly raised his thumb and said, “This is good. Definitely.”

“Hehe!” Chen Sanke happily erased the words “Big Brother” and changed them to “Big Sister.”

“I don’t know how to do the second question either. It’s saying to use one sentence after another.”

“Look at the example.” Tapping the ruler on the table, Chen Yu said, “‘School has reopened, so students are returning one after another.’ Just change the setting.”

“Mhm…”

Biting her finger, Chen Sanke thought for a long while before saying, “Work is over, so Daddy is returning one after another.”

“…”

“Is that fine?”

“Yes! Perfect!”

…

A week later, Father Chen and Mother Chen finally returned home from their trip.

Chen Yu was finally free of his clingy little sister and could now spend his precious weekends doing censoring work in the floating castle’s library.

The construction of the artificial island underneath the castle was also progressing faster than planned. In just half a month, the island’s outline had already been completed. This rapid progress stemmed from the material a.s.sistance the various countries provided, which reduced the amount of sand that needed to be dredged from the ocean floor.

The Transdimensional Academy’s education system had also taken shape.

Dozens of disciplines, including the Department of Physics, Mathematics, Mechatronics, Medicine, Biology, and Electronics, have been established.

However, as there were too many subjects, cramping all of the different departments into the castle would cause the castle to become crowded. After discussion with the professors, Chen Yu decided to use a large portion of the unused locations outside the castle. This was especially true for the Forbidden Forest, which covered an extensive area. Chen Yu had Hermione demolish half of the Forbidden Forest, instantly increasing the available s.p.a.ce by a large margin.

In the future, he would build high-tech laboratories for the Academy’s various disciplines and use these laboratories for teaching and research.

One thing worth mentioning was that with the help of the information Little Peach collected, Chen Yu had managed to remove 22 problematic professors and permanently blacklisted them from the Academy.

As for the remaining 300-plus professors, they were determined to be “comparatively” excellent people, so Chen Yu could rest a.s.sured when granting them access to the library’s first floor.

Of course, the professors were only allowed to visit the library. They still weren’t allowed to touch any of the books.

After all, Chen Yu had yet to censor 99% of the books there. He couldn’t let anyone freely take any of the books.

If a professor wished to borrow a particular book, they would have to first send in an application to Hermione. And only after Chen Yu had personally reviewed the application could the professor receive the book.

As for the matter of sourcing students, Chen Yu placed heavy importance on it.

When he thought about how a flunkie like himself could actually become the Headmaster of numerous top students, he couldn’t help but s.h.i.+ver in pleasure.

Hence, five days ago, Chen Yu had personally supervised the Transdimensional Academy’s first global enrollment!

In the end, the Academy had invited a total of 1,800 top students from 122 countries, and these students were scheduled to visit the floating castle for a test and interview one month later.

To enhance his sense of presence, Chen Yu had also personally stamped all 1,800 invitation letters.

Initially, Chen Yu had planned to sign the invitation letters. However, after considering that his signature wasn’t particularly “profound and mysterious,” he regretfully gave up on the endeavor.

And to ensure the Transdimensional Academy’s standards, Chen Yu planned to only accept 80 students out of the 1,800 examinees.

That was close to a twenty-three to one ratio! Anyone capable of getting selected would definitely be among the best.

When he thought about how he would have 80 of the world’s super-geniuses respectfully calling him Lord Headmaster…

“Then…

“Everything is on track.”

Standing atop the Astronomy Tower, Chen Yu gazed through the white clouds and at the island below. “Now, all there’s left is to wait for the eight official livestream…”
