Chapter 36: Future Lab-rats
Chapter 36: Future Lab-rats
Lyca's laughter echoed inside her room when she heard Shen Qui recount what happened when she was still sleeping. Who would have thought that she would miss something like this? "Xie Jun?" She said before laughing again.
After a couple of minutes of laughing her heart out, she stared at Shen Qui's face. Offending a student council member. It seemed that this Shen Qui was actually fearless. "Be careful with our food." She said. Now that they had offended someone with a high status in this school, they couldn't really consider anything around them safe. Especially their food.
In this world, using poisons was not as common as her previous world. However, it was still something that someone desperate to hurt them would do. Lyca narrowed her eyes, slowly, her understanding about this world was changing. The more she exposed herself, the more she realized that this world and her previous world were actually quite similar.
The grumbling in her stomach interrupted her stupor. "Oh. Hungry." She looked at Shen Qui.
"I can't cook."
For some reason, his words were enough to break her heart. Living with someone who can't cook was worse than dying! Lyca frowned. "Boil eggs." Surely, boiling is something that anyone can do. However, instead of moving, Shen Qui just stared at her.
"We don't have eggs." Who would have thought that this young miss would not want to eat the food in this school? "Nor groceries. Or cookware."
Lyca widened her eyes. She didn't actually check the kitchen when she arrived and was not planning to do. After all, she was counting on Shen Qui to cook for her. She turned silent. Bringing a servant into this school was not possible. It was one of the rules.
"Is there a way to break the rule?" She asked herself.

"Student Council members can bring servants here." Shen Qui said. He could actually cook and do basic dishes like boiled egg, fried egg and scrambled egg. He also knew how to make instant noodles. However, he was a little embarrassed to offer this skill to this young miss.
"How?" she asked.
Shen Qui immediately completed the question. "How to become a part if the student council? Its inherited." He answered. "But if you become the top student in the point system then you can join them." Last night, Shen Qui had read everything about this point system. So he knew everything about it.
"Oh?" Lyca didn't say anything. She just opened her phone and looked at the challenges on the school app.
"Challenge the student council?"
"You can. Losing will cost you twenty points and winning will give you ten points." Shen Qui snorted. That was an unfair clause but since these people considered themselves the royalty of this school then that sounded reasonable.
"Oh. And if we win can we take their spots?"
"No you cannot. As I said there are only two ways to become one of them. It's either you inherit it, which is not possible since this is the first time the Huang Family has joined this school. And winning in the point system."
"Oh. Can we challenge them now?"
Shen Qui turned silent. The smile on Lyca's face made him doubt her real intention. Was she planning on challenging someone from the student council for the servants? "Yes. But only one member can be challenged at a time."
"Someone challenged you!" Lyca almost jumped out of her bed. "Sword fight!" She then started beaming. Someone actually challenged Shen Qui! "Let me." She started typing on her phone while Shen Qui opened his own phone and looked at the details of the challenge. However, what he read next made him speechless.
It was Lyca's name. Lyca Huang actually dared to challenge Young Master Xie!
[Drink Nonfatal Poison. Stay conscious for five minutes. Reward: Five Million in Diamonds.]
Shen Qui blinked when he read the details. He stared at his phone wondering if he really saw the right thing. He blinked and this time another challenge popped up.
[Drink Nonfatal Poison. Stay conscious for five minutes. Reward: Five Million in Diamonds.]
This time, it was directed to the man who challenged Shen Qui to a sword fight! This. He stopped looking at his phone and stared at Lyca who was now laughing like a maniac. It was as if she had just opened a very good gift. Why was she so happy? However, the thing that disturbed him the most was the fact that Lyca's challenge had proven his previous assumption about Lyca and Young Master Lin's neck. Lyca poisoned the chubby man just by touching him.
How the hell was that possible? What kind of woman would poison a man just like that? Shen Qui gulped. It seems that this mission was not only troublesome but would be full of dangers. Not only from the people surrounding them but from Lyca herself.
"Alright. I'm in a good mood. Take off your clothes." Lyca said.
"" This again. "Are you going to "
"Of course. I will check your wound then you will buy groceries for me."
Shen Qui nodded. So far, he discovered that aside from her medicine, Lyca was not lazy when it came to her food and things that made her happy. At least now, he knew what would make Lyca talk more. This should be considered a success. With this in mind, Shen Qui immediately took off his clothes and approached Lyca.
Lyca happily started another round of healing or touching his body. This was only interrupted when she received a call on her phone. This time it was Huang Ying, telling Lyca to meet her in the student council office.
"Hmmm." Lyca responded with a period. "Buy some stuff. I will see you later." She said before she gave him another two tablets as she left the room to go to the student council office. She was honestly excited to meet the people behind this scheme. Of course she was also excited to talk to her future lab-rats. Lyca maintained a smiling face until she walked out of the mansion.
