Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation

"Refund! Refund!"

The voices merged into one, like raging waves of the ocean, cleansing Zhang Chi, who instantly became alert.

At the same time, he was very confused.

Why refund?

Could there be someone scheming behind his back, ruining his business?

Zhang Chi's first thought was to associate it with that possibility.

Shi Qianjin, mingling among the crowd, shouted loudly:

"Damn it, refund the money!"

Zhang Chi was infuriated, facing the pressing crowd, he angrily rebuked:

"You all used the wifi, why should I refund the money?"

"I only charged you three yuan, it's already cheap, why should I refund it?"

At the end of the distant corridor, stood several boys and girls.

They were the spectators.

Zhao Xiaofeng cursed: "Brother Tian, Zhang Chi is smart enough; he moved the router in advance, planning to take the money and run!"

Qi Tianheng was also displeased; last night they had snitched to the grade director, but when the director came to search for the router during the morning study period, he found nothing!

After checking several classes under the multimedia computers, there was no router at all.

Later, the grade director called Yan Tianpeng, but Yan Tianpeng insisted he didn't know anything about the router.

The grade director confronted the students, and seeing his fierce demeanor, the students, fearing punishment, didn't dare reveal they had bought wifi.

But more so, the students who hadn't purchased the wifi reported the matter.

Consequently, Yan Tianpeng was taken to the office by the grade director.

Now there was only one wifi seller left; when Zhang Chi appeared, he was immediately targeted.

Because Zhang Chi had slept too deeply, he was completely unaware of what had happened during the morning study period, thinking his router was still there.

The chaos in front of him felt like just a little frost.

From the back of the crowd, Shi Qianjin loudly yelled:

"Zhang Chi, you bastard, you're inhuman!"

A classmate spoke out, appealing to his conscience: "Zhang Chi, it's not our fault we're asking for a refund. I paid for your wifi, I was the first to ask you to turn it on yesterday, how much did I trust you?"

"But to only let us use it for one day, isn't that too much?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chi was puzzled; he was crafty but surely not to the extent of only allowing his classmates one day of access?

"Who said it's only for one day? I just placed the router there; you could use it whenever!"

Zhang Chi declared with a grand gesture.

Shi Qianjin jumped out and bluntly said: "Your router is gone, gone, all gone!"

Zhang Chi was first stunned, then disbelieving: "Impossible?"

Shi Qianjin showed the wifi page on his phone, the screen showing several one-tael strength wifi signals.

Seeing this, Zhang Chi struggled fiercely:

"I don't believe it, let go, I'll see for myself!"

The person who was grabbing his collar, seeing Zhang Chi didn't seem to be lying, let go.

Zhang Chi rushed through the crowd, running towards the west, his solitary figure seemingly on a quest to the Western Heavens for scriptures.

Nearer, ever nearer.

Zhang Chi directly went into Class 9, skillfully pulled open the multimedia computer case, and looked inside.

At that moment, his brain was like it had been struck by a club, buzzing.

"My router is gone?"

Deep inside, Zhang Chi suddenly had a terrifying thought, he suddenly remembered a past scene.

When high school had just started, he borrowed someone's basketball to play, left it in the classroom at night, and the next day it had vanished.

"Could my router have been stolen?"

Just as this thought occurred, Zhang Chi felt a piercing pain.

"Impossible!"

Zhang Chi yelled: "Yan Tianpeng must have taken my router!"

Shi Qianjin said laughingly: "Yan Tianpeng said the same thing."

"Zhang Chi, honestly refund the money!"

Everyone who bought wifi had to sign Zhang Chi's "Death to the Whole Family Agreement," so Shi Qianjin couldn't get the password.

He wanted to connect to the wifi, ultimately holding his nose and spending three yuan to buy it.

Now that the wifi was gone, the first thing he thought of was a refund!

Zhang Chi: "I don't believe it, it must be Yan Tianpeng who took the router, I'll ask him."

"Who knows where Yan Tianpeng is?"

Shi Qianjin: "In the grade director's office."

As soon as he finished speaking, a student ran to the classroom doorway, shouting into the room:

"Zhang Chi, the grade director is calling you over."

With the grade director personally summoning him, Zhang Chi couldn't hide, and left with a dark face.

The students nearby didn't dare block his way, the authority of the grade director was clear.

After Zhang Chi left, the students asked Shi Qianjin:

"Brother Jin, will we get our money back?"

Shi Qianjin said: "It's only right to repay debts, he can't escape!"

...

Class 8.

Wang Longlong came back with information.

The four connected seats were already fully occupied, Wang Longlong's stool now squeezed between Cui Yu and Meng Gui.

"Longlong, how did it go?" Dan Kaiquan excitedly asked.

The others looked on expectantly.

Wang Longlong said: "Zhang Chi said the router was taken by Yan Tianpeng, then he was called away by the grade director."

Dan Kaiquan was puzzled: "So who actually took the router?"

Guo Kunnan asked: "Aren't they partners in business? Can there be such a misunderstanding?"

Ma Shicheng thought for a moment and said: "Neither of them took the router."

Dan Kaiquan blurted out: "Then where did the router go, could it have been stolen?"

Ma Shicheng: "Think about the things previously lost in our class."

Once this was mentioned, Guo Kunnan remembered his lost router, and Dan Kaiquan remembered his missing Bluetooth earphone data cable.

The two looked at each other oddly: "Was it stolen?"

Then, Dan Kaiquan slapped his hand, laughing:

"What a slick theft!"

In his words, Dan Kaiquan felt no sympathy, instead taking pleasure from another's misfortune; yesterday Zhang Chi had collected money, becoming particularly arrogant and looking down on his classmates.
