Chapter 11 University Championship
Liu Ruyan has been a student at the prestigious Ma Teng Alliance School for over a month now. Here, she is a Latino male student with an average appearance.
Before being chosen by the horror instance, Liu Ruyan was a teacher. Because of her outstanding appearance and figure, she often encountered various forms of exclusion and bullying and never had a proper chance to enjoy school life.
This time, she deliberately chose an ordinary male identity and pretended to fit in, which worked out well.
The only drawback is that students don't have many ways to earn money; they rely on part-time jobs after school to barely break even.
Fortunately, she encountered a strange ghost who offered her a special mission, giving her hope of completing the game as a student.
"People around me used to say that Maryland University had a free learning environment, and that students were friendly to each other. It was a truly civilized university that respected each other."
After experiencing it firsthand, Liu Ruyan discovered that it wasn't like that at all.
Although she knew that everything in front of her was a copy, Liu Ruyan felt that it was no different from the real Meilika.
In Meilika University, factions and cliques are rampant, and mutual animosity and exclusion are very common, far exceeding the schools where Liu Ruyan Huaxia had taught.
Even on trivial issues like "should environmental groups prioritize protecting cats or dogs?", students would genuinely split into two camps, arguing back and forth, and eventually even resorting to physical violence.
The factions are irreconcilable.
As for the more pointed topics of diversity and inclusion, there's no need to go into them.
In order to fit in, Liu Ruyan was forced to admit that she was actually an armed helicopter and that her sexual orientation was Mamba.
Every day is spent living in American-style fake smiles and insincere pretense.
Is this the "Freedom and Beauty Card" that her colleagues in the industry usually talk about?
Liu Ruyan hoped that everything happening here was a lie.
The reason she felt it wasn't fake was because she had accepted a special mission assigned by the Free Ghost.
The other party explicitly used the term "Beautiful Card".
[Hidden Quest: Experience the Two-Headed Ogre Mage]
[The knowledge gained from studying in China will be sealed, and the person will live a life using the knowledge of an ordinary college student with a "beauty card" for a period of time, at most two months.]
[Reward: $50,000]
Liu Ruyan pondered that she currently had $6 in assets and could obtain the clearance funds in just two months.
Besides, the students in the US shouldn't be too much different from those in China.
After all, Mexico is the world's leading superpower, and China is still catching up.
But once she truly accepted it and temporarily sealed away the knowledge she had learned since elementary school, Liu Ruyan realized that she had been naive!
In an instant, all the knowledge of humanities, social sciences, mathematics, physics, and chemistry in my mind was locked and sealed away, deep within my brain.
Instead, a bunch of unsightly religious tales and narratives of diversity and inclusion have emerged.
The only useful thing is the four arithmetic operations.
Liu Ruyan was in despair.
You're already in university... It's one thing to be completely clueless about physics, chemistry, and biology, but what's with you only teaching "addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division" in math?
What broke her heart even more was that a Chinese international student joined her class.
Every time the professor asked a question, his answer would make Liu Ruyan so angry that she would fly into a rage.
He answered correctly, and his classmate said, "Wow, that's amazing! You know all of that?"
"Don't you guys know how?"
"I learned all of this in elementary school. Didn't you teach it in elementary school?"
If Liu Ruyan's knowledge of Chinese culture had not been temporarily sealed, she might not have felt anything.
The basic knowledge taught in class is exactly what elementary school teachers in China teach, and we even reviewed it again in junior high school.
Now that her knowledge is sealed, she is truly living as a student in the US, after hearing the pretentious remarks of the Chinese student.
Where he couldn't see, the other students all pulled down their lipstick and looked at him with hostility, their faces filled with disgust and disdain.
This was the first time Liu Ruyan had truly empathized with them.
Stop talking, buddy.
I know that primary schools in China teach it, but we really don't teach it here!
Our teachers here only teach LBqte!
That day, Liu Ruyan felt the difficulty of the hidden mission for the first time.
Not long after, things took a new turn.
After a month of living at the college, two more Asian transfer students arrived.
The one named Lucy Yang exuded an air of pride and confidence in her every move, and given her very Chinese accent, Liu Ruyan guessed that she was very likely a participant in the dungeon.
The other bespectacled man spoke hesitantly, even his self-introduction was halting, and he seemed quite weak and easy to bully.
as predicted.
After only a few classes, Liu Ruyan discovered that various small groups in the academy were sending people to probe her.
Once he realized he had bullied the other person and the bespectacled boy couldn't fight back, he decisively activated his school bullying mode.
Your side sends troops to the mining site to mine, and after they finish mining, it's our turn to mine.
The new, confident Lucy Young quickly joined in, becoming one of the bullies of the bespectacled man.
Seeing this, Liu Ruyan couldn't help but sigh.
They had originally planned to test whether the other party was a participant and whether they should cooperate in the future.
People with different values cannot work together; now it seems unnecessary.
By the time get out of class ended and school was over, most of the other students had left.
Liu Ruyan then tossed the unopened drink she had bought to the man with glasses.
He sighed softly.
"I'm sorry, they outnumber us and this is all I can do. If I step in to help you, I'll be the next one getting bullied."
Unlike in China, the teacher witnessed their bullying of the bespectacled man and his words implied bias towards them.
In China, any teacher with even a modicum of professional ethics would do their utmost to prevent such unfairness from happening; at least, Liu Ruyan did just that.
All she could do was do what she could while ensuring her own safety.
"Thank you." The bespectacled man forced an awkward smile and turned to leave.

At this point in the scene, aside from the design of the dungeon's executioner, the two ghosts, the White Demon and the Free Ghost, seemed to understand but not quite.
"Master, where exactly is the 'Bouncy Party' you mentioned? I can't find it."
"You Xing, aren't you worried that arranging these two contestants together so early will lead to them teaming up to handle the dungeon?"
You Xing smiled and shook his finger.
"A united front? Impossible. You can tell just by looking at their attitudes toward that important NPC."
"And then there's Free Spirit. After this incident, it's time to settle the rewards for that contestant."
"Understood! But Master, you haven't told me about the pinball team yet!"
The constable raised his eyelids, put down the cake in his hand, glanced at Labyrinth, then looked at Free Ghost to confirm again.
"Aren't spoilers disliked? Do you really want me to say something?"
"Tell me, riddle tellers are even more annoying!"
Labyrinth snatched the food from the torturers.
"Okay. First, the bespectacled boy who transferred in at the same time."
"What's wrong with him? He's average-looking, weak-willed, and lacks emotional intelligence; he doesn't know how to take sides or play the field," Rabillins listed the reasons.
"The administrator is right, that's why he'll keep getting bullied."
"Did he eventually suffer a depressive episode and take his own life?" Labilins asked.
"Compared to dying in silence, there is another possibility: erupting in silence."
You Xing smiled and said, "Don't forget, Meilika doesn't ban guns."
"How difficult is it for a bespectacled, STEM guy to build his own gun?!"
