Chapter 39

Dongfang Xiuzhe stood up, ignoring the bedding on the ground, and reached out to grab Li Erniu by the neck.

His speed was so fast, like a venomous snake striking, that Li Erniu had no time to react.

"Do you want to reincarnate so soon?"

With a sharp gaze, Dongfang Xiuzhe lifted Li Erniu off the ground.

Despite his large size, Li Erniu felt as light as a feather in his hands.

The unbearable feeling of suffocation made Li Erniu struggle continuously, but the hand around his neck was like a steel clamp, tightening more and more, making his struggles futile.

A cold snort escaped Dongfang Xiuzhe's mouth, and without any visible effort, Li Erniu's body was thrown out, crashing heavily into the wall.

"Bang!"

The force was considerable, and Li Erniu couldn't get up for a long time. He never dreamed that his opponent would be so powerful, leaving him defenseless!

Dongfang Xiuzhe walked over and grabbed his hair, forcibly pulling him up.

"Didn't you want to fight me again? Come on, I'm waiting!"

"Bang!"

Another dull sound, and Li Erniu's head was forcefully pressed into the wooden bed.

The other children were stunned, never expecting this new roommate, who was only three years old, to be so terrifying. They all held their breaths.

Dongfang Xiuzhe tortured Li Erniu to the point where he couldn't fight back. Not only that, he used the "Earth Intimidation" from his Yin-Yang Eyes, and under the powerful mental attack, Li Erniu trembled like a chick in a storm.

It was another "kill one to warn a hundred"!

If Dongfang Long and his wife knew what their son was doing, they would surely regret sending him here.

"Is there anyone else who doesn't agree?"

After throwing Li Erniu to the ground again, Dongfang Xiuzhe's sharp gaze swept over the others. No one dared to stand up, their heads shaking like tambourines.

Seeing that the intimidation worked, Dongfang Xiuzhe didn't want to go too far. He picked up the bedding and lay back on the bed.

The room remained silent, with only the sound of breathing.

After this display of power, the dorm mates indeed became more obedient, and no one dared to provoke Dongfang Xiuzhe.

Li Erniu didn't suffer any serious injuries and was fine after resting for a while. He was thoroughly intimidated and no longer dared to anger this little demon.

This incident left a deep shadow in his heart, and in the future, he never dared to defy Dongfang Xiuzhe, though this was a story for later.

What Dongfang Xiuzhe didn't expect was that his display of power, intended to keep others from provoking him, made him the leader of the dorm.

The benefits of being the leader included not having to do chores and being able to delegate tasks to the others.

Dongfang Xiuzhe, not a particularly diligent person, gladly accepted this role.

Of course, as the leader, he had to take care of his subordinates. He occasionally gave them some rewards, even if it was just a few copper coins, which made them very happy.

A few copper coins didn't buy much, just a few meat buns.

From Li Erniu and the others, Dongfang Xiuzhe learned that most students at the "Grassroots启蒙 School" came from poor families and attended the school for free.

The school regularly announced tasks, and completing them earned a corresponding reward, but with many students and few tasks, getting one was considered good, and the reward was just a few copper coins.

Dongfang Xiuzhe was glad he hadn't spared a single copper coin when looting the bandits, as it came in handy now.

Dongfang Xiuzhe's strength and generosity made Li Erniu and the others increasingly obedient.

Li Erniu and the others were also curious about where Dongfang Xiuzhe got so much money, as if it were an inexhaustible source, but they only wondered in their hearts and never dared to ask.

If they knew that Dongfang Xiuzhe's storage ring contained millions of gold coins, they might have been envious enough to faint.

Three days passed, and Dongfang Xiuzhe's life was relatively good.

The middle class curriculum was indeed different from the small class, focusing on survival skills such as how to determine direction, find food and water, and leave marks, as well as other similar knowledge.

While these were practical, they held little interest for Dongfang Xiuzhe, who already knew them well.

One afternoon, after returning from his training, Dongfang Xiuzhe sensed something was wrong as soon as he entered the dorm.

Li Erniu hung his head, and the others looked listless, like wilted eggplants.

Upon inquiry, he learned that Li Erniu had been bullied by students from the middle class B unit, who called him an animal, simple-minded and strong.

They also mocked Li Erniu and the others for recognizing a three-year-old as their leader and gave Dongfang Xiuzhe the nickname "Bean Sprout."

Sitting on the bed, Dongfang Xiuzhe smiled as if what Li Erniu said had nothing to do with him.

"You couldn't even curse them back, and you just came back like this?" Dongfang Xiuzhe smiled, but he was angry inside.

"Boss, I can't beat him; he's from the B unit!" Li Erniu spoke bluntly.

"Can't beat one, can't beat six together?" Dongfang Xiuzhe's gaze swept over the others.

"Boss, fighting costs money, we..." One of them lowered his head in shame.

Dongfang Xiuzhe didn't blame him. Money was more important than life to these children from poor families. They could endure physical punishment but couldn't accept being fined!

"Who came up with this stupid rule!" Dongfang Xiuzhe cursed inwardly and then asked, "How much is the fine for a fight?"

"Regardless of who's right or wrong, five copper coins per person!"

"Only five copper coins, not much!" Dongfang Xiuzhe smiled again, this time like a little fox.

With a "clank," he threw a bag of money on the table, shocking Li Erniu and the others, unsure what their little boss was planning.

Dongfang Xiuzhe said, "There are over fifty copper coins here, enough for your fines, and the rest can be used for meat buns for dinner."

"Long live the boss!"

Hearing this, Li Erniu and the others immediately perked up!

"Is this all it takes to make them happy!" Dongfang Xiuzhe thought, speechless.

The school's rule was unfortunate to meet Dongfang Xiuzhe, who was not afraid of fines, especially such small ones.

Led by Dongfang Xiuzhe, Li Erniu and the others headed straight for the middle class B unit dorm.

A group fight seemed about to break out!
