Chapter 1899: Many Peers
This is a school, and it’s very large, like a university campus, but the students here are all young children from all corners of the world.
"The kids here are specially recruited, some are already like special forces, enrolled." The driver said.
Little Taotie was a bit surprised.
"Are there many who are our age?" Hua Jinyan inquired.
The driver gave a mysterious smile, "Of course."
Little Taotie and Hua Jinyan exchanged a glance, neither had expected to meet peers here.
They were led to the playground.
The playground of this school is very large, with many training devices, more like a military training ground.
Little Taotie looked around, seeing many peers, and some older kids, but none seem to be over fifteen.
"You’re considered young here, you’ll be in a class with more abacus geniuses, who are all relatively young."
"Abacus geniuses?" Little Taotie blinked in wonder.
The driver laughed and mimicked using an abacus, "Don’t underestimate Hua Country’s abacus, it’s very useful."
Little Taotie and Hua Jinyan were taken to a classroom, where the sound of abacus clicking could be heard.
Little Taotie peeked inside, curious.
The kids inside were so focused, none of them noticed her.
Just as the driver said, every one of them was very young.
The driver laughed, "The youngest is even a year younger than you."
Little Taotie was surprised, "Younger than me?"
"It’s a little girl too, an abacus prodigy named Luoluo." The driver ushered them in with a smile, "Sorry for the interruption, I’m here to introduce two new companions to everyone."
Everyone paused their abacus work.
Someone looked over curiously, and upon seeing Little Taotie, someone recognized her.
"It’s Little Taotie!"
"It’s the Little Mermaid!"
"It’s the Little Taotie from the Demon Management Bureau!"
It seems these kids, though geniuses, weren’t deprived of entertainment, as they watched plenty of TV in their spare time.
Little Taotie felt a bit shy, her cheeks reddening, "Everyone knows me... Hi everyone, I’m Little Taotie, and we’ll be classmates from now on!"
"Coworkers actually!" A little girl stood up, speaking in a sweet voice, "Little Taotie, we’ll be colleagues, and we’ll earn money here. Studying here is like training, and we get paid! Tee-hee... I’m already a financially independent little rich girl!"
The driver chuckled, "Little Taotie, this is Lou Luo, the youngest in the class."
"Let me introduce myself, I’m Lou Luo, you can call me Luoluo. I’m a year younger than you, but you can actually call me sister, hehe..."
Little Taotie’s dimples showed as she smiled, her eyes curved, "Hello, Luoluo sister!"
Luoluo pouted, "Ah, when will I ever become an older sister!"
Driver: "Hua Jinyan, you introduce yourself to everyone, too."
Hua Jinyan stood on the podium, spoke distantly, "Hua Jinyan."
Driver: "...A bit of a cold one, this kid."
Little Taotie looped an arm around Hua Jinyan’s shoulder, adding for him, "This is my childhood friend, Huahua. He looks aloof, but he’s actually very kind and enthusiastic. Don’t let him fool you!"
Hua Jinyan: "..."
The driver chuckled, "You guys came together, so you can sit together. There are empty seats in the second-to-last and last rows, choose whichever you want."
Little Taotie decisively chose the last row.
Hua Jinyan frowned, "Isn’t that too far back? Can you see the board clearly?"
Little Taotie giggled, "I’ve never sat in the last row, let’s experience it～"
