Chapter 797: After All, I’m Not a Devil

The next day, Ren Baqian went to the academy in the morning.

After being away for so long, he somewhat missed those idiots.

Having been away for a year, there were some changes to the school. After all, with the radio, many things could be remotely controlled. After his thoughts were transmitted back, the school would make changes according to his plan.

The thing about spoken words was that their meaning would change completely after the message was passed through two people. Ren Baqian knew that the changes were somewhat different from what he wanted them to be, but it was better than not having changed at all.

When he entered the school, the first row was still the classrooms and his office. The second row was a new row of buildings that included new classrooms and chemical laboratories. At the back was the library in the corner, and none of it had changed much.

Apart from this place, the other changes were so huge that he almost didn’t recognize it.

The first was that the black bamboo forest surrounding the pond in the backyard had disappeared and was replaced by a large piece of the concrete floor. It seemed that the Ministry of Works had nothing else important to do and had paved the ground for the school.

There was a huge hot air balloon on the paved ground.

It wasn’t made by the students, but by Li Fu, the testicle-kicking monster.

Since that time he rode in the hot air balloon, Li Fu had great expectations for this thing. Unfortunately, Ren Baqian hadn’t been able to build another one for Li Fu because Ren Baqian had been away for a year. Li Fu simply grabbed a few students to be his assistants and started researching the hot air balloon on his own.

The students were naturally afraid to reject the testicle-kicking monster. After all, no one could beat him. It would be useless to call their parents, and they could even get kicked in the balls for that.

As for Li Fu’s heavenly kick, it was pretty well known throughout all of Lan City.

The result of everyone’s production was right before Ren Baqian’s eyes. “I’m a fool” was written on it.

These kids were bullying Li Fu for being illiterate.

Ren Baqian had always encouraged such applications of using their brains to tackle their enemies.

However, it was said that one of the kids got kicked in the balls and had to rest at home for a few days with his legs together.

Apart from this, the courtyard walls had also disappeared. In their place was a tall building just like the factory, but with a much smaller area. In fact, this was the artisan shop of the school.

The blacksmith shop, carpenter shop, blast furnace, warehouse, and assembly room were all located here.

From the very beginning, Ren Baqian hoped that the students would learn more through application, be able to grasp knowledge faster, and lessen his burden.

As a result, after manufacturing the steam locomotive back then, the craftsmen didn’t leave the school. The students did their research and provided ideas while the craftsmen helped turn these into reality.

At the far end of the courtyard was a thermal power plant. The power it generated wasn’t huge, and it was only enough to supply the school and the palace.

Ren Baqian went to the power plant to take a look and saw that there was coal everywhere. The equipment inside had been replaced with something with a higher conversion efficiency. There were pipes, gears, and thick rivets everywhere, and it was full of steampunk style. It seemed that the aboriginals liked this simple and rough style that was full of power and beauty.

The things inside were all made and tested by the students during their free time. Ren Baqian was very satisfied with their initiative.

Although these guys were stupid, they had a lot of initiative, were hardworking, and were very motivated.

In addition to these, they also made wires under the remote guidance of Ren Baqian…

This was nothing too technical, and the important thing about making wires was the layer of rubber on the outside. The students designed a small factory that could produce thousands of wires per day. There was still the possibility of further increases in production, and the only limitation was the transportation of rubber.

No matter what, the factory would serve a great purpose.

This factory was built three months ago. At present, it had already produced 100 kilometers of wire. With more power plants, most areas in Lan City wouldn’t be dark at night anymore.

This was also the task that Ren Baqian was preparing to tackle immediately after he returned, turning Lan City into a city that never sleeps before marrying the empress.

After he was done touring the power plant, he went back to the front yard. There were already students streaming in. Their eyes were all brightly lit after seeing him, and they shouted, “Principal is back!”

In fact, they already knew this the day before. Besides, they had seen the bodyguards just now as well. However, after seeing him in person, their spirits were lifted.

Even though the school could still continue teaching after Ren Baqian left, progress had been much slower. The main thing was that the students had to undergo robot lectures during their first year. In their second year, they learned from their seniors and the robot.

“Yeah.” He nodded with a deep expression on his face. As the principal of the school, he had to display the grandeur of one.

“Yagui is actually back!” This voice made him open his eyes wide. He had long known that they were calling him names behind his back.

However, they were asking for a beating by shouting it in his face, right?

He looked up and saw that it was indeed Tong Lan, the little girl. She seemed to have grown a little taller, but was still the shortest bean among the students. She was dressed in white, had a small and delicate face with baby fat, and lifted her head so high that her nostrils were almost facing the sky.

Ren Baqian smiled at her and revealed his white teeth. Now that he had been well-trained, it was time for her to take a beating!

“Have you finished your homework?”

Tong Lan’s face immediately turned black after hearing this.

“Ah! Ah! Ah!” She shouted into the air with a posture like the roaring emperor’s.

She then quickly ran back to the classroom to continue working on her homework.

More and more students gradually arrived.

Not only were there a few familiar faces, but there were also some new ones who had been recruited this year.

Although Ren Baqian followed the empress to the Sixty Thousand Mountains to roam around, the recruitment of students didn’t stop. These newcomers were led by the older students.

After all, the things they learned in the first year were simple. There were the senior students, the robot, and teaching materials to guide them, so there wasn’t much of a problem teaching. Also, many of the older students were fond of teaching. Even Tong Lan, the small bean, would occasionally make a guest appearance.

Of course, the textbooks used by these first year students were all previously used by their seniors.

However, now that Ren Baqian had returned, they could start to have new materials.

The new students looked at him curiously. This was the empress’s husband, the principal of the school.

This school was single-handedly established by him.

They didn’t expect to see him for the first time after such a long period.

Wasn’t he a gigolo? they wondered. Why did he look fiercer than the adults at home?

However, his appearance fulfilled the aesthetics of the aboriginals. Whether it was someone who had a bald head and lacked eyebrows and a beard or someone weighing above 150 kilograms, these features were still favorable.

Ren Baqian could see the clock tower in the distance when he lifted his head, and when the time came, people closed the school gate. The students gathered in the classroom of the third year students.

Everyone looked at him, and they were all pretty excited. However, once he spoke, everyone crumbled.

Ren Baqian stood behind the desk and knocked on it before asking, “Have you finished your homework?”

Everyone either had a sullen look on their face or had an expression of bitterness and hatred.

He then replied delightedly, “Don’t be so sad! It’s okay if you haven’t finished it.”

All the students were shocked. When had Yagui ever been so nice?

“After all, I’m not a devil!” Ren Baqian revealed a kind smile. “If you haven’t finished it, you will be hung from the flagpole for five minutes after class. After that, you shall go home and finish your homework. At the same time, complete 10 test papers.”

After hearing this, everyone’s excitement to see him was gone.

They stared at him and thought, Isn’t this a devil?

They wished to never see him again for the rest of their lives.
