Chapter 287: The Mysterious Little Boy

 

“Brother Fangyu… I knew you would create a miracle!” Excited Yu Yueyue in the audience almost jumped up.

“Is Fang Yu here? Is student Fang Yu present?” On stage, Chen Deqing asked loudly with a microphone.

There was no response from the audience.

At this moment, Sun Xingchun ran onto the stage, panting as he said: “Board Director, student Fang Yu is not present.”

“Not present…” Chen Deqing was also breathing heavily.

For Jianghai Middle School to have a student achieve a perfect score on the college entrance exam was absolutely incredible news.

Soon, Jianghai Middle School’s reputation would spread throughout the entire Jiuzhou nation!

“Do you have his phone number? Let’s call him live to tell him his score and notify him about the award!” Chen Deqing said.

“Award?” Sun Xingchun was stunned.

“The board just learned of this and decided to award Fang Yu two million yuan!” Chen Deqing said excitedly.

Two million yuan!

The leaders nearby were stunned hearing this number.

He Zhanpeng, who was not far away, clenched both fists upon hearing these words.

This award was ten times his!

For a student, or even a family, this was an enormous sum!

“His, his contact information seems to have changed, I can’t reach him…” Sun Xingchun said.

“I have his contact information.”

At this moment, Tang Xiaorou stepped forward, took out her phone, and dialed Fang Yu’s number.

Chen Deqing immediately took the phone, turned on the speaker, and placed the microphone near the phone’s speaker.

“Beep…”

The entire venue fell silent.

Everyone stared intently at Chen Deqing.

Five seconds later, the call connected.

“What is it now?” A lazy and impatient voice came from the phone.

Hearing this tone, Tang Xiaorou bit her lip, feeling indignant.

“Student Fang Yu, I’m Chen Deqing, the board director of Jianghai Middle School. Your college entrance exam results are out, do you know about them?” Chen Deqing asked.

“No.” Fang Yu answered promptly.

“You… achieved an unprecedented high score! Seven hundred and fifty points! Perfect score in all subjects!” Chen Deqing said with extreme excitement.

“…I see.”

Fang Yu’s response left everyone present stunned.

He was too calm and composed.

This was 750 points, no one had ever achieved such a score before, how could he not be excited at all?

“Student Fang Yu, you got 750 points!” Chen Deqing repeated, thinking Fang Yu hadn’t heard clearly.

“Mm, I got it. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now.” Fang Yu said.

Chen Deqing quickly said: “Student Fang Yu, I have something to notify you about. Due to your outstanding performance, our board has decided to award you a scholarship of two million yuan, you can come collect it now.”

Two million yuan!?

The audience erupted in commotion!

This amount, not just for a student, but even for a family, was an enormous sum!

With two million, one could buy a 100-square-meter house in Jianghai City, or a very nice car!

This… was truly reaching life’s peak in one go!

The parents and students below the stage showed not just shock but even more envy in their eyes.

“I don’t have time.”

Fang Yu’s voice came through the phone.

Chen Deqing was stunned for a moment, then said: “If you’re busy now, you can come later, or we can transfer the money…”

“Too troublesome, just keep the money for now, I’ll collect it when I have the chance. I’m busy, hanging up now.” After saying this, the call ended with a ‘beep’.

He hung up…

The entire venue fell silent.

Things had developed completely differently from what they had expected.

Not only was Fang Yu not excited about scoring 750 points, but he also seemed reluctant to collect the two million yuan award!

This was too… bizarre, right?

Could it be that for him, neither 750 points nor two million yuan meant anything!?

After a while, Chen Deqing finally came to his senses, laughed awkwardly, and said: “Student Fang Yu is clearly quite busy, hehe… Today’s award ceremony ends here, students and parents may leave in an orderly manner…”

But now, the atmosphere in the entire auditorium had become somewhat strange.

Those outstanding students who received awards should have been happy, but now they couldn’t feel joy.

In terms of scores, 750 points had crushed them completely.

The award money… two million, compared to their ten or twenty thousand, or even He Zhanpeng’s two hundred thousand… was incomparable.

What was most difficult for them to accept was Fang Yu’s indifferent attitude.

It was as if he didn’t care about the two million or the 750 points at all.

For these outstanding students, this was a huge blow.

People slowly left the venue.

When Tang Xiaorou and Tang Feng were leaving, they happened to see Luo Hui’s group.

Tang Xiaorou didn’t say anything, but Luo Hui and others changed their expressions and walked in another direction with their heads down.

This time, their faces weren’t just swollen from being slapped, they had completely lost face!

Chen Deqing watched the dispersing crowd, his eyes still excited.

After today, the name of this student Fang Yu would probably resound throughout the entire Jiuzhou nation.

Jianghai Middle School would also become famous in one stroke!

…

Huaibei, Nandu.

Fang Yu left the apartment, planning to find a restaurant on the street to eat.

For him, the college entrance exam results were indeed not worth mentioning, no matter how high the score, it wouldn’t cause even a ripple in his heart.

Of course, the score of 750 points still exceeded his expectations.

Although he had completed all the questions, it shouldn’t have been a perfect score.

As for the scholarship, Fang Yu was even less interested in collecting it.

As someone who had lived for nearly five thousand years, standing alongside a bunch of kids under twenty to receive an award was embarrassing just to think about.

Thinking of this, Fang Yu spotted a noodle shop nearby and walked in.

The noodle shop was very simply decorated, just a small ordinary store.

It was meal time now, but there were no other customers in the shop.

Fang Yu sat at a table.

A very cute boy who looked less than ten years old brought a menu and placed it in front of Fang Yu.

Fang Yu glanced behind him, the owner was in the kitchen.

“Brother, what would you like to eat?” The boy looked up at Fang Yu, his black eyes sparkling, asking in a childish voice.

“What’s your signature dish?” Fang Yu looked at the boy and asked.

“My dad’s beef noodles are the best.” The boy answered.

“Then I’ll have a large bowl of beef noodles.” Fang Yu said.

“Okay.”

The boy took the menu and walked towards the kitchen.

Not long after, the boy brought a large bowl of beef noodles and placed it on Fang Yu’s table.

“Such a large portion?”

Fang Yu raised his eyebrows and said.

“Customers who come to eat at our place all say we’re good value!” The boy smiled.

“Then why is your business so poor?” Fang Yu asked while picking up his chopsticks and eating the noodles.

The boy watched Fang Yu eat, a strange light flashing in his eyes, and replied: “Our business is usually very good, it’s just fewer people today, maybe because it’s not holiday season…”

“Oh, but these noodles are actually quite ordinary, I could probably make them better myself.” Fang Yu said.

“Oh? Brother knows cooking too?” The boy looked at Fang Yu, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

“I not only know it, I’m at master level.” Fang Yu said.

“That’s really amazing.” The boy said, turning around, “I’ll get you some water.”

After turning around, the boy’s face showed a strange smile.

He walked into the kitchen.

On the kitchen floor lay a man.

This man was clearly dead, his body stiff, expression terrified, and skin completely bloodless.

But there were no wounds on his body, and not a drop of blood had been spilled.

After entering the kitchen, the boy’s eyes became extremely cold.

He took a cup and poured water into it.

After filling the cup, his right hand lightly shook above it.

Some black powder fell into the cup.

But the water in the cup remained clear, showing no signs of anything unusual.

“First eating the noodles with soul-breaking powder, then drinking water with thousand-poison powder… even an immortal couldn’t save you.”

The boy’s eyes flashed with darkness as he carried the cup of water out of the kitchen.

When walking to Fang Yu’s side, his expression became innocent and cheerful again.

“Brother, have some water.” The boy smiled.

At this moment, three more customers walked into the shop.

“Boss, three bowls of mixed sauce noodles!”

These three were clearly regular customers, shouting as soon as they entered.

But there was no response.

“Boss!” A customer called out again.

Still no response.

“Is the boss not here?” The three customers wondered.

“What would you like to eat? My dad is sick recently, his throat hurts, he can’t speak…” The boy looked up, smiling as he asked.

“Eh? You’re his son?” One customer was stunned.

“Isn’t Owner Wang unmarried? Where did such a big son come from?” Another customer asked puzzled.

“Could it be an illegitimate child?” The third customer laughed.

At this point, the smile had disappeared from the boy’s face, replaced by an extremely fierce expression.

“Ah, I’m so full, these noodles were too big a portion, and they didn’t even taste good.”

Fang Yu muttered nearby, then picked up the water cup and took a big drink.

The soul-breaking powder should take effect now…

The boy’s face showed a strange smile as he turned around to check on Fang Yu’s condition.

But just as his face turned, he saw a fist coming straight at him!

“Bang!”

The boy’s entire cheek caved in, and he flew backward like a cannonball, crashing straight through the wall behind him!
