Chapter 2106: Is This a Devil?
Right now, Hou Dusheng’s inner world was collapsing.
Zhang Fan—how could he not know him.
A guy who was fluent in twelve foreign languages.
And he’d finished twelve test papers in under two hours, all with full marks.
Later on, he even took the championship title at the British Royal College of Music.
That’s a straight-up genius.
The moment he heard the news, he immediately called up the hospital staff and rushed over with them.
Six days and six nights.
One hundred and forty-four hours.
Swap in an ordinary person, and after forty-eight hours without sleep they’d already be in that "about to ascend to heaven" state.
Every minute after that would be pure torture.
"Make way, make way!" Hou Dusheng shouted.
At this moment, the entrance of the library was already packed with thousands of people.
Starting from the third day, even those who’d just been watching the live stream on their phones had all rushed over.
These past few days, aside from eating and going to the bathroom, Zhang Fan had kept the same posture, flipping through books.
Roughly one book every three minutes, one book every three minutes!
And the total time he’d spent eating and going to the bathroom over these six days and nights added up to only about an hour.
This damn wasn’t reading books, it was straight-up challenging a Guinness record.
The scariest part was that Zhang Fan’s complexion was exactly the same as on the first day, without the slightest change.
They were even suspecting that Zhang Fan could keep this up for another six days!
A scene like this was simply too shocking.
How could they not come and crowd the front row to watch.
Even if they couldn’t get into the library, they were willing to just stand guard outside.
Seeing the ambulance arrive, Tsinghua’s security guards quickly swung into action.
In no time, Hou Dusheng and a group of doctors were heading toward the library.
Seeing Hou Dusheng, the people all around cried out in surprise.
"Damn, it’s Hou Dusheng! The deputy director of the education bureau!"
"Why is he here?!"
"Is it because of Zhang Fan?"
"Heh, knew it, this wasn’t going to be simple."
"That bastard Zhang Fan must’ve stayed in the library for six days just to grab attention."
"Hmph, is this guy trying to use this chance to duck out of the academic competition?"
"Of course he is. That bastard’s been to the institute so few times you can count them on two hands."
"I’ve been prepping for ages this time just so I could get revenge on that bastard Zhang Fan."
The group from Beijing University were glaring with eyes spitting fire.
In their eyes, Zhang Fan was making such a scene purely to avoid the academic competition.
This way, he could be said to have every justification.
Six days and six nights without sleep!
He had every reason to sleep for several days straight.
Or claim his Spirit hadn’t fully recovered—what could they say to that?
Now, even Hou Dusheng had been startled into coming.
This excuse was even more ironclad.
"Scheming bitch!"
"How can that bastard be this sinister."
"This time, so many of us from Beijing University were planning to get our revenge on him."
"Flipping a book every three minutes—this damn isn’t reading, it’s obviously just to grab attention and look for an excuse!"
Hearing all this, the group here for the academic competition had their eyes flicker.
These past few days, they’d all been watching Zhang Fan’s every move.
Way too over the top!
So at this moment, quite a few chose to believe Beijing University’s side of the story.
"Heh, just a clown seeking attention."
"Knows nothing and only plays cheap tricks."
"Someone like that deserves to be called a genius?"
"What a disgrace!"
"Forget it, I’m done watching, done! Boring. I’d rather go take a shower and get some proper rest!"
Meanwhile, over on Tsinghua’s side, a group of people sneered.
"Tch, if you’ve got guts, go say that to Zhang Fan’s face."
"A bunch of losers. If I remember right, Zhang Fan still has your IOUs, doesn’t he? Heh, I really miss when Zhang Fan grabbed a megaphone and yelled at your Beijing University: ’Sons, Daddy’s here!’"
"You think you’re worthy of Zhang Fan playing tricks on you? You already forgot what happened with the genius class?"
They might not know what Zhang Fan was planning, but they really couldn’t stand these outsiders yapping here.
Besides, they were more inclined to believe Zhang Fan was charging up an Ultimate Skill, ready to stir things up at the academic competition.
"Enough noise! Get lost!" On Li Liang’s side, he also growled.
At the same time, over at Wenzhuang, each of them wore a dark expression.
"Anyone dares make trouble, we call the police!"
Walking into the library, even Hou Dusheng was shocked by the scene inside!
The library was packed to the brim!
Quite a few people were sprawled over the desks sleeping.
Every single one of them looked utterly exhausted!
This group was none other than Xu Xingwang and his crew!
They had rushed over on the third day, tasked with maintaining order and protecting Zhang Fan.
In the whole library, out of more than four hundred people, three hundred and fifty were members of the face-slapping squad.
If it weren’t for them and Wenzhuang’s security guards stationed at the doors, the library would’ve been crushed by the crowd long ago.
"Where’s Zhang Fan?" Hou Dusheng’s expression was extremely anxious!
"Over here!" Li Liang said quickly.
At the same time, the pale-faced Xu Xingwang and the others hurriedly made way!
"Zhang Fan, stop reading. Lie down, let the doctors check your body." Hou Dusheng said anxiously.
Zhang Fan was a treasured asset; he absolutely could not let anything happen to him!
"Heh, Director Hou, when did you get here?" Zhang Fan lifted his head and gave Hou Dusheng a polite smile.
Then he immediately lowered his head again, his hands not slowing in the slightest!
"It’s fine, my Spirit’s great. I’ve only got half a bookshelf left, I’m almost done," Zhang Fan said.
Seeing this, Hou Dusheng walked straight up and snatched the book from Zhang Fan’s hands.
"You brat, what do you know? Lie down and let the doctors take a look." Hou Dusheng said, face full of "no discussion."
"Yeah, Leader, just chill already. I’ve only been here three days, and I even slept. Right now I feel like my body’s been completely emptied." On Xu Xingwang’s side, everyone chimed in.
They’d been harping on this the whole time, but Zhang Fan just flat-out ignored them.
"I really have no problem." Zhang Fan gave a wry smile.
Six days and six nights without sleep—what was that.
Once the System’s Healing Function activated, it was instant full HP!
Even without using the Healing Function, six days was nothing to him.
By now, he was no longer an ordinary person.
"Doctors, come run tests!" Hou Dusheng ignored Zhang Fan and called to the doctors.
The next moment, a group of doctors came over, lugging all sorts of equipment.
Seeing this, Zhang Fan just shook his head.
He then sat down and let the doctors fuss over him.
"Blood pressure, normal!"
"Heart rate, normal!"
"Body temperature, normal!"
"Spirit, normal..."
Ten minutes later, the group of doctors reported back, eyes wide in disbelief.
At that moment, their inner worlds were rocked by a Heavenly Shock.
Six days and six nights without sleep, and this kid’s body was perfectly normal?
Was he a demon or something?
