Chapter 91 – Dumber than Average

Night, 1 A.M.

Inside the physics subst.i.tute building of Sixth High’s main teaching block, a wooden door suddenly appeared out of thin air at the room’s eastern wall.

Creak…

As the wooden door slowly opened, a head popped out of the gap.

This head belonged to none other than Little Peach.

She looked left, right, up, and down…and then left, right, up, and down again, before looking left, right…

Bang!

With a vein bulging on his forehead, Chen Yu kicked Little Peach through the door and said, “What are you looking at? Why can’t you just walk through the door?”

“Mr. Chen, didn’t you tell me to be cautious and meticulous…” Little Peach said while timidly covering her head.

“I kicked your b.u.t.t; why are you covering your head?”

“Oh.”

Upon being reprimanded, Little Peach hurriedly covered her b.u.t.t and snuck glances at Chen Yu.

“Stop wasting time. The teachers don’t have work on Sunday. The physics and chemistry papers haven’t been marked yet, so hurry up and find my exam papers. Once we change the answers, I can go home to sleep.”

“Okay.”

After the two walked into the office, they began their search according to the exam room number. In no time at all, they located the box containing the exam papers for Chen Yu’s exam room.

Taking out the stack of papers inside the box, Chen Yu focused his attention and started rapidly flipping through the top-left corner of the stack, searching for the words “Chen Yu” on the papers.

Five minutes later, after reaching the final paper, Chen Yu could not help but look up in a daze.

“Did you find it?” Little Peach asked.

“No. Did the teachers take it away to mark individually?”

“Maybe you missed it? Look through it again.”

“Mhm.”

Nodding, Chen Yu started flipping through the papers once more. This time, though, he slowed down his speed considerably.

“…”

When he was halfway through the stack, he suddenly pulled out a set of exam papers. Pointing at the name written on the top-left corner, he looked at Little Peach and asked, “This… What is the meaning of this name?”

Stepping forward, Little Peach looked at the name and said, “It’s a name. Is there a problem?”

Ruffle, ruffle… Smack!

Rolling up the papers, Chen Yu ruthlessly used it to smack Little Peach’s head, saying, “You fool! You big fool! You are standing in for me! What are you writing your name for?!”

“Huh?” Taking a step back, Little Peach widened her eyes and covered her mouth as she exclaimed, “I see! So, you can do it like that as well!”

Smack!

Smacking Little Peach’s head once more, Chen Yu bellowed, “I should be the one saying those words! How else can you do it?!”

“I-I’m sorry, I actually failed to consider this point… I’m only a romance robot…”

Smack!

“Didn’t you say everything went well?”

Smack!

“Didn’t you say you wouldn’t expose me?”

Smack, smack, smack…

“Mr. Chen, please stop smacking.” Rubbing the top of her head, Little Peach said, “I’m fine, but the exam papers will get ruined.”

“Hah…” Taking in a deep breath, Chen Yu tried his best to calm himself down. “You’ll leave me in a very pa.s.sive state if you continue messing with me like this. I already knew you were unreliable before, but I never thought that you were actually unreliable to this extent.”

“I-I’m sorry. I won’t repeat it again next time.”

“There won’t be a next time! Just focus on writing codes! Coding is your only saving grace.”

After saying so, Chen Yu sat down on a teacher’s seat and opened his exam papers. He then took out some correction fluid and a ballpoint pen, quickly changing Little Peach’s name to his own. When he was about to continue correcting any incorrect answers, however, after looking through several answers, he lost his grip over his pen…

“You, come over here,” Chen Yu said as he hooked his trembling finger at Little Peach.

“Mr… Mr. Chen, is there a problem?”

“The first question asked you to choose the correct answer, yet you wrote ‘Why not take the plane?’ instead of choosing an answer… Leaving that aside, the second short answer question… Is your brain alright?”

“The second short answer question…” Stretching out her head and taking a peek, she asked in confusion, “D-Did I answer incorrectly? I was very confident about this question.”

“…Question: A dog is crossing the road. A high-speed vehicle suddenly brakes, and the pa.s.sengers in the car lean forward. What is the principle behind this reaction? Your answer: The pa.s.sengers wished to see whether the dog is dead or not. It is the principle of curiosity. My G.o.d…”

Rolling up the exam papers once more, Chen Yu smacked Little Peach’s head and bellowed, “You call this being confident?! I already told you not to answer questions you don’t know how to!”

“D-Did I really answer incorrectly…”

“Let’s set aside this question as well. Let’s return to the multiple-choice questions. Question: What is the earliest form of wireless communication. Four options were given to you below. However, instead of choosing smoke signals, drums, pigeons, or others, you wrote ‘dreaming.’ Are you sick?”

Little Peach: “…”

“There’s more. A 0.5kg ball rebounds to a height of 4cm after falling to the floor. Your answer: How did the other party know this; For the mechanical energy challenge question that asks about the force required to pull a small cart, you answered that the cart can’t hold so many items. You even drew a truck and wrote that a truck can carry more load. You…”

Little Peach: “…”

“Just focus on answering the questions! Why are you writing all this nonsense?! The entire paper is filled with such answers! How do you expect me to correct this?!”

Tear!

After saying so, Chen Yu tore apart the exam papers, crumpled it into a ball, and stored it into his pocket. He then said, “Bring me a new set. There are definitely some in the office. I’ll rewrite the entire thing.”

“Are you not going to correct the answers anymore?”

“Correct my a.s.s! Bring it over quickly!”

“Yes, sir…”

…

Meanwhile, on the rooftop of a multi-story building tens of meters away from the office, a figure slowly put down the high-powered binoculars they used and disappeared into the shadows under the cover of night…

…

By the time the human-robot duo returned home, it was already half-past-two in the morning.

Dragging his exhausted body into the room, Chen Yu threw himself onto his bed without hesitation. He did not even bother changing into his sleepwear.

“Mr. Chen, how about I continue going to school in your place for tomorrow? You can have a proper rest at home.

“When the day comes when I’m tired of living, sure. Until then, stay home and write programs. I’ve seen through you already. You’re not suitable for anything other than computers.”

“I’m a romance robot. Romance is my strong point.”

“You’re good at receiving a beating as well.”

Lowering her head, Little Peach frustratingly said, “I’m sorry. I don’t have any other skills and experience integrated into my processor.”

“…Forget it. I’m sleeping. You go back to coding. I should also thank you today. You’ve helped me quite a lot.”

“Hehe.” Upon hearing Chen Yu’s words of grat.i.tude, Little Peach’s expression instantly changed as she revealed a dazzling smile. “I got praised. Favorability plus 20!”

“…d.a.m.ned fool.”

Fed up with Little Peach’s antics, Chen Yu pulled his blanket and covered his face.

Meanwhile, Little Peach stood still and continued observing Chen Yu with a smile for a while longer. After she was satisfied, she returned to the study table and swiftly started coding.

In the calm and quiet night, only the lines of characters before her could prevent her from growing “cold.”

Tap, tap, tap.

Tap, tap, tap.

Tap, tap, tap, tap…

Time inside the room gradually pa.s.sed under the tapping sounds of the keyboard.

After an unknown amount of time had pa.s.sed, Chen Yu suddenly pulled aside his blanket and opened his eyes, his gaze focused on the ceiling above him.

“Mr. Chen, did I wake you? How about I go to the warehouse?”

“No, that’s not it. I just can’t sleep.” Resting his head on his arm, Chen Yu said, “When your brain is telling you to sleep, and you refuse it, it’ll keep you awake when you want to sleep out of spite.”

“How does it feel to sleep?” Little Peach asked in confusion.

“It feels like I’m trying to die but can’t, I guess.” Sitting up and removing his coat, Chen Yu yawned and laid back down, saying, “Hypnotize me with the rattle and send me into a deep sleep.”

“Okay!” Walking up to the bed, Little Peach picked up the Hypnosis Rattle from the bedside table and said, “The laptop I’m using is too slow and inefficient. If there’s an opportunity in the future, please buy one with better functionality using your watch.”

“That will have to wait until I have enough points. I barely have anything right now…”

“Why don’t you host additional livestreams to earn extra points, then?” Little Peach asked.

“…”

Gradually widening his eyes, Chen Yu stared at Little Peach in a daze. After a brief moment, he turned to look at the Spiral Ascending Aircraft sitting in a corner of his room…
