Chapter 65: An Old Fox and a Young Fox

Cheng Han timely reminded, "Principal Gu, there are still five candidates that haven't been selected."

Principal Gu Jinglong had an attitude of "I can't be bothered": "None of these useless people impress me. Cheng Han, you can just pick a few randomly."

Cheng Han didn't refuse: "Understood!"

The expressions of the others varied.

Students like Jun Changkong, who had conflicts with Cheng Han before, felt that they would definitely be eliminated this time, and their faces didn't look good.

The rest of the students, on the other hand, showed hope.

Usually, whenever there was a slight benefit, the leaders of the various factions would privately discuss and divide it among themselves, leaving nothing for the others.

Cheng Han looked around and suddenly laughed, "Do you all think that I will definitely choose the remaining candidates based on my personal preferences?"

No one answered.

But many people clearly believed in this.

Cheng Han snorted, "Do you really believe that Principal Gu would let me choose randomly? Let me tell you, this is a test he deliberately arranged."

How could this old fox's thoughts be hidden from him?

Cheng Han's next words exposed Scarface's "sinister" intentions: "If I can't be fair and just, Principal Gu's evaluation of me will greatly decrease. From now on, although I can retain the position of class monitor, Principal Gu will definitely strip away most of the authority of the class monitor, so you can rest assured."

Gu Jinglong chuckled but didn't say anything.

But from this person's expression, it was clear that Cheng Han's words hit the mark.

At this moment, many people couldn't help but think that these two were both cunning, like a young fox and an old fox.

And students like Jun Changkong felt deep down that they had lost to such a cunning opponent, as if it was a matter of course.

Cheng Han timely changed the topic, "Enough nonsense, let me talk about the specific selection process."

Everyone's attention shifted to him.

Cheng Han spoke confidently, "Considering that this mission comes from the Inspection Bureau, we need to stand on their standpoint to establish the selection criteria..."

Gu Jinglong praised, "Not bad! Clear train of thought."

Cheng Han raised a finger, "First, we are just students and don't need to take on combat responsibilities during patrols, so combat strength is not the primary consideration."

The expressions of Jun Changkong and others immediately changed.

They used to be leaders of factions and were the most powerful group of students. This criterion essentially invalidated their biggest advantage.

Cheng Han raised a second finger, "Secondly, the most important thing to avoid during patrols is a lack of concentration, as it can easily lead to missing crucial clues. I will select the most focused students based on what I have seen in the past few days."

The faces of Jun Changkong and others became even more unpleasant.

They had been severely reprimanded a few days ago and their recent training performance was extremely poor.

Cheng Han stated the last criterion, "There are many strange incidents during the curfew period, and the stronger one's mental strength, the higher their resistance to the strange. I will prioritize students with strong mental strength."

Gu Jinglong approved of the three criteria, "I have no objections."

Scarface naturally saw through the trick, but he didn't mind because no one could propose a solution that satisfied everyone, and these criteria made most people feel fair and just, which was what a qualified class monitor should do.

Cheng Han reported a list without hesitation, "Xiong Yuan, Kang Ziyan..."

Jun Changkong and others were all eliminated.

The selected students were all elated.

Cheng Han's expression remained calm, but he secretly laughed three times in his heart.

Even though Scarface was standing next to him, I can still use the rules to get rid of these annoying guys, and it won't be easy for others to find fault.

Is this hypocritical?

Hmph!

Do I care?

Gu Jinglong fully accepted the nominations, "Tomorrow, I will report the list to the Inspection Bureau. I hope you all perform well during the patrols and bring glory to the 15th Middle School."

Scarface said "you all" verbally, but his gaze was fixed on Cheng Han alone.

Without a doubt, in this person's heart, the other five people are just there to make up the numbers.

"Snap!"

Gu Jinglong clapped his hands and said the long-awaited words: "Today is the day to take the secret medicine. Come and collect the secret medicine."

Upon hearing this, the students were all excited.

Of course.

There was an exception - Ren Yong.

At this moment.

This guy lowered his head, filled with regret.

When Cheng Han first took on the role of class monitor, this guy openly caused trouble. Afterwards, Cheng Han reported to Gu Jinglong and suggested canceling this person's chance to take the medicine.

And Cheng Han was appointed as the class monitor by Gu Jinglong, so wasn't this like slapping Gu Jinglong's face? That's why this guy readily agreed.

"Buzz~"

The sound of wheels rolling.

An employee pushed a cart into the hall.

And above the cart, there was a dark metal box, with five different-shaped metal locks hanging on it.

This measure was enough to show the importance of the items inside the box.

Gu Jinglong took out a bunch of keys, opened the five metal locks, and then reached out to open the metal box, revealing two rows of delicate porcelain bottles.

It was the secret medicine.

To be precise, it was a first-level Body Tempering secret medicine - the Strengthening Potion.

The students quickly lined up in a long queue and received a porcelain bottle one by one from the vice principal.

When it was Cheng Han's turn, many students noticed something different.

The porcelain bottles they received were milky white in appearance.

Only the porcelain bottle Cheng Han received was light blue, with fine patterns engraved on the bottle, making it look more upscale.

Even a fool could see that this was definitely a better secret medicine.

A student with courage asked, "Principal Jinglong, what kind of secret medicine did the class monitor receive? I've never seen it before."

Gu Jinglong did not hide it: "This is the 'Mount Lu Secret Medicine'. Cheng Han discovered an important item related to the Ghost Eye Incident, and this is a first-level potion specially rewarded by the Black Armor Army."

The curious student asked further, "What effects does the Mount Lu Secret Medicine have?"

Gu Jinglong explained, "Secret medicines are divided into two types, ordinary secret medicine and enhanced secret medicine. The Strengthening Potion is an ordinary secret medicine, which can only temper the body. The Mount Lu Secret Medicine belongs to the enhanced secret medicine, with a three times stronger tempering effect than the former, and it also has a certain stimulating effect on the spirit. The production of enhanced secret medicine is very low, even within the Black Armor Army, it can only be exchanged with merits and is rarely seen outside."

A group of students listened with envy.

Gu Jinglong suddenly said, "Cheng Han, this is your first time taking the secret medicine..."

Cheng Han nodded, "I know! Embrace the Furnace Style!"

Now that he was carrying the name of a genius, it was appropriate to show abilities beyond ordinary people. No one would find it strange, so there was no need to be overly cautious.

Gu Jinglong choked for a moment and muttered, "Can't you be a bit more humble and let me explain the precautions to you?"

Cheng Han readily agreed, "Alright, please go ahead."

He had already deduced that the Embrace the Furnace Style could fully exert the power of the secret medicine. In a sense, this was the technique created for taking the secret medicine.

Gu Jinglong glared at him fiercely.

You little brat, you already know everything, and you still want me to explain?

Too much!

The group of students burst into laughter.

But what they felt more was envy.

Who wouldn't want to joke around with Principal Jinglong like Cheng Han? Unfortunately, the principal didn't even spare them a glance and rarely spoke to them.
