Genius of the Rules-Style System

Chapter 67: Chapter 63: The 2nd Power: "Connection Law"

In the middle of the classroom.

A boy and two girls were sitting in a triangular formation.

Foreheads touching.

Whispering in each other’s ears.

Zhao Yi poses the burning questions solemnly, "Will Teacher Xue agree to help us?"

"Impossible!"

Lin Xiaoqing gives a negative answer.

"So, would Teacher Xue willingly date Demon King Niu?"

"Absolutely impossible!"

Zhao Linlin’s denial was even more emphatic.

"If we tell Teacher Xue about the situation, how would he react, what would he do?"

"Tell Teacher Niu!"

"Tell my aunt!"

Lin Xiaoqing and Zhao Linlin answer together, their responses identical.

"Ah~~"

Zhao Yi gives a deep sigh, "Let me think again."

Lin Xiaoqing and Zhao Linlin were all a little deflated; they finally found a possible solution, but the most suitable candidate was an absolute impossibility. He was the kind of person who would tattle as soon as he knew anything.

"Do I really have to go to class?" Zhao Linlin was so desperate, just like a prisoner about to be executed.

"Actually, I have a solution."

Zhao Yi suddenly said.

"What kind of solution?" Hope lights up in Zhao Linlin’s eyes again.

Lin Xiaoqing also looks at him.

Zhao Yi looks seriously at Zhao Linlin, "Are you really sure you want to skip class?"

"Of course."

"If there are consequences, I mean, if you’re caught, it’s going to be really bad... Are you willing to take this risk?"

"It’s fine!"

Zhao Linlin says dismissively, "I already disappointed my aunt in the last Monthly Test. It’s just a little more disappointment at most."

"Very well."

Zhao Yi nods approvingly, continues to ask, "If you really get caught, you won’t turn traitor, right? I mean, you won’t sell us out?"

Zhao Linlin shakes her head instantly, "I’d rather die than tell! Xiaoqing knows me, I absolutely will not betray my friends."

"Really?"

Zhao Yi looks towards Lin Xiaoqing uncertainly.

Lin Xiaoqing nods definitively, "I trust Linlin."

Zhao Linlin pouts unhappily, "Zhao Yi, you don’t even trust my integrity!"

"You were calling me Brother Yi just now, and now it’s Zhao Yi. How can I believe..." As Zhao Yi sighs mournfully.

"Brother Yi~~~"

The beautifully saccharine voice appears again.

Zhao Yi blocks his ears, hurriedly interrupts, "Okay, okay! I surrender, just call me by my name. It sounds better." he said, becoming serious, "Starting from now, you two have to follow my orders on this matter."

"OK!" free𝑤ebnovel.com

"Alright!"

...

After the afternoon classes end, the three gather in the fourth-floor corridor.

Lin Xiaoqing passes by the principal’s office along the corridor, took a peek inside through the window, and signals towards the stairwell, "Principal Wang is in!"

"Received!"

Zhao Yi walks leisurely to the principal’s office.

Knocks on the door.

Principal Wang Chengmin was tidying up documents and says without lifting his head, "Come in!"

Zhao Yi enters, points at the computer on the table, asks, "Principal, can I use your computer? I need to send something."

"Sure, go ahead."

Thinking that Zhao Yi was an IT whiz and might need to communicate with some company, Principal Wang gets up and relinquishes his seat, "Perfect, I was just heading to the cafeteria for a bite."

He doesn’t forget to bring a cup of hot water on the way out.

"Thank you!" ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Zhao Yi gives a thumbs-up, "No wonder everyone in the school says you are the best principal in the history of our school."

Feeling flattered, Principal Wang walks out with a happy smile.

Meanwhile.

Zhao Linlin follows Xue Pinggui across two floors, waiting for the phone in her pocket to vibrate. She immediately quickened her steps and waved at him while calling out, "Teacher Xue, wait up."

"It’s Zhao Linlin, what’s going on?"

Xue Pinggui stops.

Zhao Linlin lowers her head with some shyness, "Well, teacher Xue, can I borrow your phone to call my Aunt, I can’t find her, it’s Niu..."

"I know, I know."

Xue Pinggui felt uncomfortable at the mention of ’Niu’, he takes out his phone and handed it to her, "Go ahead, I’ll wait."

Zhao Linlin takes the phone and pretends to make a call as she walks towards the teaching building, "Mr. Xue, I’m going to the restroom, I’ll return it to you in a bit!"

"Okay...isn’t the restroom that way?"

Xue Pinggui didn’t pay much mind.

There’s a restroom on the fourth floor of the teaching building that’s mostly used by teachers, but occasionally, students use it too.

The school really couldn’t help it.

They can’t exactly put up a ’Faculty Only’ sign on the restroom door, can they?

Just then, Principal Wang came out.

Xue Pinggui and Wang Chengmin greeted each other, sharing some laughs before heading to the cafeteria together.

...

Zhao Linlin rushed on the fourth floor and handed Xue Pinggui’s phone to Zhao Yi.

Lin Xiaoqing was also inside.

With one on Zhao Yi’s left and one on his right, as if they were two bodyguards, they watched Zhao Yi operating on the computer intently.

Zhao Yi turned on Xue Pinggui’s phone, discovered it was running the Symbian 6 system, and laughed, "This is going to be simple."

The Symbian 6 system supports GPRS, browser, and Bluetooth technology, but most importantly, it supports running programs developed with C++ and J2ME.

The program Zhao Yi written uses C++.

He packaged the small program files he created, then very formally copied them to the phone, just as if he was installing a normal program.

It ran in the background.

Finally, he manipulated the phone to hide the icon on the desktop.

This program would run continuously.

Even if the phone was restarted, it would automatically load and continue to run.

"Done."

Zhao Yi handed the phone to Zhao Linlin, "Give it back to Teacher Xue!"

"Is it okay now?"

"Yes it is."

"What did you do?"

"It’s confidential for now."

Zhao Yi wanted to stay tight-lipped for the meantime, in case anything unexpected arose.

For example, Zhao Linlin not focusing on her studies and tampering with her ’very special’ phone.

Halfway through the study session, Lin Xiaoqing could no longer hold in her curiosity and asked. Zhao Linlin also kept looking over, her eyes filled with curiosity and impatience.

Zhao Yi, deliberating, whispered secretly, "Alright, I’ll tell you. I just installed a small program on Teacher Xue’s phone, a very simple program."

"What is it for?"

"If Zhao Linlin sends a message to Teacher Xue with her phone, Teacher Xue’s phone will automatically copy it and send it to Teacher Niu’s phone, and then delete the received message..."

"The same goes the other way."

Zhao Yi briefly explained.

The function of the small program was very simple, and the codes were only a few dozen lines long.

First, it backs up numbers A and B.

Then, it detects the source of the text message.

When a text message is received from number A, it will duplicate and send a copy to number B and delete the original message from number A.

The same works in reverse.

Zhao Linlin’s phone was set as number A and Demon King Niu’s phone was set as number B.

A text message from Zhao Linlin to Xue Pinggui is equivalent to a text message to Demon King Niu.

They could chat with each other.

However, in the process of chatting, all messages received were seemingly from Xue Pinggui.

Zhao Linlin’s eyes sparkled as she listened.

Lin Xiaoqing was also very interested.

Zhao Yi quickly reminded, "Remember! This has nothing to do with me, I haven’t done anything, I don’t know anything!"

"Got it! Got it!"

"Stop it! Stop it! It’s not your business!"

Lin Xiao Qing and Zhao Linlin spoke with a touch of impatience.

Use and discard after it serves its purpose!

Hidden away when no longer useful!

Ungrateful after all the help!

Zhao Yi sighed helplessly, mumbling to himself, "I’m a good student, a good student, a good student..."

"I’ve not done anything! Not done anything! Not done anything..."

After night-time self-study.

Zhao Yi quickly rode home, dove into his bedroom and turned on his computer.

Dota!

This game was the biggest time sink.

"Pick the Skeleton Archer!"

"Play defensive, farm creeps, go for boss kill at level six, stealth and gank from behind!"

"Shoot, shoot!"

"One arrow, two arrows, three, four arrows..."

When the feeling of the game started flowing, Zhao Yi couldn’t stop, he managed to rack up two Killing Sprees and wanted to play a third match after the game ended.

He suddenly came to his senses and hastily checked the system notifications.
