Global Evolution: I Super Double Up on my evolution-Chapter 346 - 171: Even the Ascaris is Ashamed!_1
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Su Yan confidently ascended to the podium. He then looked at the audience, smiled, and said, "Student Chen Baoyi is right. To become class president, mere strength isn’t enough; experience matters more. But when strength reaches a level like mine, that becomes an exception."
At this, Su Yan gave Chen Baoyi a meaningful smile and then turned to the audience again, saying, "Let’s put it this way: if I become class president, no one will dare to bully anyone in our class. If you’re bullied and you’re in the right, just tell me, and I’ll definitely stand up for you. Even students from higher grades—I’m not afraid of them at all. I’ll still pin them to the ground and make them eat dirt."
Su Yan was definitely bragging a bit with that last sentence. It was okay, though. After all, it was a campaign speech. Everyone understood that you had to make grand promises. Whether he could deliver or not was secondary; winning the election came first.
Su Yan quickly continued, "Most importantly, I truly wish to be the class president and contribute to our class. I can prove this point; it’s coming from the bottom of my heart. Take your names, for example. I’ve just engraved every single one of them deeply into my memory. Next, I’ll prove to everyone that what I said is no lie."
With that said, Su Yan began pointing to the fifty-odd students below the podium, calling out their names one by one:
"You’re Xu Haolong."
"You’re Zhen Dediao."
"You’re Gou Jianren."
...
Su Yan called out the names of every student below the podium, matching each name to the correct person. He didn’t make a single mistake, not even one wrong name.
This scene stunned everyone present. Although it’s true that as an Evolved Being’s Level increases, their memory also improves, honestly, to call out the names of over fifty strangers one had only met once, as Su Yan had just done—it’s no exaggeration to say that unless you’re a memory prodigy, it would be pretty difficult. In other words, for Su Yan to achieve this, he must have put in real effort.
"I didn’t expect Su Yan to remember everyone’s names accurately. It seems he really wants to be the class president."
"Yeah, yeah, I heard that in the Institute of Qi and Blood and the Institute of Spirit, some high and mighty geniuses can’t even call their classmates by name until graduation."
"Hearing you say that, Su Yan really does seem sincere. We have to vote for him."
"Based on what he said earlier—that he’ll stand up for us if we’re bullied—even if he weren’t entirely sincere, I’d still vote for him."
"Indeed. Although Chen Baoyi is also excellent, Su Yan is even more outstanding."
At this moment, many students in the audience began to whisper amongst themselves, already deciding to cast their votes for Su Yan.
Chen Baoyi, sitting in the front row, felt her eyes begin to moisten. She originally thought she could take the class president position with her twelve years of experience. As for strength, it was at most a bonus, not a decisive factor.
But Su Yan was so shameless! Using his powerful strength to promise he would stand up for everyone in the future—that was downright cheating! A victory without honor! Chen Baoyi felt deeply indignant.
But on second thought, for Su Yan to remember the names of over fifty classmates, it showed he was also very dedicated. It seemed... her loss wasn’t so unjust after all?
At this thought, Chen Baoyi felt a little better.
Meanwhile, Su Yan, who was still on the podium, could never have imagined that in just those few seconds, the busty, child-faced girl in front of him had gone through so many thoughts. But even if he knew, he would pretend nothing happened. As for comforting her, that was out of the question.
Victors reign, losers are vanquished. She’s not my sister, nor my girlfriend. Why should I comfort her? Chivalry? Give me a break. An ironclad straight man like me has no need for such things.
With this in mind, Su Yan unhurriedly walked down from the podium and returned to his seat in the back row. As soon as he sat down, the buzz-cut boy next to him immediately leaned over.
The boy asked with curiosity, "Tell me, Su Yan, why do you want to be class president?"
"Because I want to expand my influence," Su Yan replied, his voice very calm. He was being completely honest about this, not lying in the slightest.
After hearing Su Yan’s answer, the buzz-cut boy was completely baffled. Typically, geniuses didn’t like to be in the limelight. Most preferred to cultivate day and night in seclusion. Then, when some major event or competition came along, they would make a grand appearance, dazzling the onlookers and instantly boosting their reputation. But using the class presidency to expand one’s influence, like Su Yan was doing? He had never seen anything like it.
Puzzled, the buzz-cut boy couldn’t help but press further, "Su Yan, I still don’t get it. What’s the point of increasing your influence by being class president?"
"You’ll find out later," Su Yan said, smiling at the buzz-cut boy beside him, not revealing his reasons. He decided to keep him in suspense for a while.
Soon, Principal Chen Huan spoke up from the podium. "Student Chen Baoyi and Student Su Yan have both completed their campaign speeches. Let’s begin voting by a show of hands. Those who choose Student Chen Baoyi, please raise your hands."
As soon as Principal Chen Huan finished speaking, a scattered few students raised their hands. After a quick count, there were just under ten people—a particularly small number. Among them were all the girls in the class. Although they also leaned towards Su Yan for class president, being among the few girls in the class, they felt they should show some superficial support for Chen Baoyi, a fellow girl. The remaining few boys who raised their hands did so because they found Chen Baoyi cute and harbored ulterior motives. They thought about supporting her in hopes of having a chance to develop a romantic relationship. After all, it was a situation of many wolves and scarce meat. One had to seize any opportunity, or risk ending up with nothing, not even the leftover soup.
After counting the hands, Principal Chen Huan signaled that they could put their hands down, then spoke up again: "Those who choose Student Su Yan, please raise your..."
Principal Chen Huan hadn’t even finished speaking when an overwhelming roar erupted from the students below. At a glance, nearly the entire class had their hands raised.
Obviously, Chen Baoyi had lost the election. And it was a crushing defeat. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
Sigh... My poor daughter... She must be devastated by this blow... Principal Chen Huan sighed, then adjusted his glasses and announced, "I declare, Student Su Yan has been successfully elected class president of Beast Taming Class One! Let’s give a round of applause!"
CLAP! CLAP! CLAP! CLAP! CLAP! CLAP! CLAP! CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!
For the rest of the morning, Su Yan’s class didn’t have any actual lessons. Instead, they were busy moving books, forming study groups, and generally handling various pre-class organizational tasks. After these preparatory tasks were done, the remaining time was spent with everyone in the class chatting, playing fun games, and getting to know each other better.
Time flew by, and just like that, it was noon, twelve o’clock—time for class to be dismissed.
After class, Su Yan declined his classmates’ invitation to go to the cafeteria together. Instead, he vaulted out the window and flew straight to his dormitory. This scene, witnessed by his classmates, drew looks of envy and gasps of astonishment. It took less than a minute for Su Yan to fly back to his dormitory from the Sunrise Building.
As soon as he entered, he saw Jiu Li lying on the sofa playing with her phone, while the table was set with a sumptuous lunch. Su Yan washed his hands in the restroom and then eagerly hurried to the dining table to eat.
While eating, he asked with some confusion, "Jiu Li, aren’t you eating?"
"I already ate," Jiu Li replied nonchalantly, her beautiful eyes glued to her phone screen, unable to look away.
Undoubtedly, she was a classic internet-addicted girl, the kind who needed electroshock therapy.
After quickly finishing his meal, Su Yan began tidying up the dining table while calling out to Jiu Li, "Drooling Fox, hurry up and change into some outdoor clothes; I’ll take you to get your ID card."
"Okay, going to change now."
After saying this, Jiu Li reluctantly put down her phone. She then walked into the bedroom in an oversized, loose-fitting shirt, looking utterly languid.
Half an hour later, Jiu Li still hadn’t come out. Su Yan went to her door and knocked. "What are you doing? Why is it taking so long?"
"I’m putting on makeup, just wait a bit longer." Jiu Li’s voice, sweet and soft enough to tug at one’s heartstrings, drifted from inside the room.
Another half hour passed, yet still, there was no sign of Jiu Li emerging from her room. This made Su Yan quite anxious. Approaching the door again, he knocked and said, "It’s been a whole hour! Can’t you just hurry up and get it done instead of dawdling?"
The moment he finished speaking, Jiu Li happened to walk out of the room. She rolled her eyes at Su Yan and said, "Big guy, you’re so blunt! A girl naturally has to make herself look pretty before going out. Otherwise, if I didn’t make myself as captivating as a Fox Demon, I’d be too embarrassed to go out and meet people. If you don’t change your ways, you’ll definitely not find a girlfriend during your four years of university—you’re destined to be single."
Day by day, her affection for him grew. This warming of their relationship over the past few days meant Jiu Li now spoke more freely, no longer as afraid of being scolded by Su Yan. She’d say whatever was on her mind because she knew Su Yan wouldn’t really scold her. At most, he would tease her a bit or retort bluntly. All of that was within her tolerance.
"Big guy, let’s go."
With that, Jiu Li set off with a saucy gait, swaying her hips as she made her way to the dormitory entrance.
Seeing this, Su Yan behind her couldn’t resist teasing her, "Drooling Fox, I swear, can you not be so outrageously provocative with that walk? You’re so extra, you’d make the word ’provocative’ itself seem tame."
