“Oh, aren’t these the two renowned cripples? They’re super early today too.”
Like a daily ritual, the crowd burst into laughter with new arrivals joining in the jeering, heralding the start of a pleasant new day.
The Xi Bo Lai brothers have always been hardworking, but in the Mengjia Empire where the strong were worshiped, people like them were simply a joke in the eyes of others and objects of ridicule.
Zou Liang lightly smiled and nodded kindly, he had no choice but to be subservient. They had no money, no rights, nor were they nobility or even possessed the slightest bit of strength. Thus they could not afford to be arrogant. Providing people with a bit of entertainment was proof that their existence had some worth.
As Zou Liang smiled, Ernest also followed after with a foolish smile. The two renowned cripples were also huge fools and were known as the incomplete sky and the lacking land. One had a normal brain but an underdeveloped body, while the other had a normal body but an undeveloped brain. If their adopter, the old bearman, had not provided the War Academy with a lifetime of service, they would never have been able to enter.
Zou Liang completely understood that they were like 3rd rate goods. However, he told himself that he should not be affected by it and thus did not feel too deeply about it in his heart.
War Academy was not completely about fighting all day long. Each profession was divided into theoretical and actual combat courses, a considerably meticulous arrangement. The Meng Jia Empire had a rich history that spanned thousands of years. Through countless separations and mergers, the level of civilization had progressed greatly. As a result, the laws were pretty much perfect and the theocratic and secular powers had also integrate themselves rather well with each other.
Theory class began. Ernest had his eyes wide open as he strove with all his might to listen attentively. His eyes were open so wide that Zou Liang wondered whether Ernest’s eyeballs would fall out. However, he understood very clearly that this guy was unable to understand anything at all. Although the Bi Er bear clan was one of the major races in the empire, they were rather lacking in the brains department. Yet, they were blessed with strong combat abilities and fertility. Those factors, plus their alliance to the Tai Ge tiger clan, made it possible for them to maintain their status in the empire.
Zou Liang’s eyes were roving all over the place. Whatever the fox teacher to the front was saying did not concern him at all. There were quite a few beauties attending this class. Originally, Zou Liang was very worried that there would be dinosaurs [TL: Ugly people] everywhere. On the contrary it was the opposite. From the view of the opposite sex, this place was paradise.
Fu Ke Si fox clan girls’ elegance, Si Nai Ke snake clan’s enchanting girls, Lai Bo Te leopard clan girls’ hot bodies, etc, etc. Truly a world of bliss for any man.
In regards to the previous world, the weak Zou Liang of this life had only one thing to say. That he has no other choice but to satisfy only the eyes. Beautiful women wouldn’t even glance at him. Even if they looked at him, in all likelihood they would quickly pass over him.
One morning period flew by very fast.. After looking east and west [TL: He was checking the hot babes out ;)], he took another nap, passing the time quickly. Actually when he thought about it, his life was full of happiness.
He was satisfied with what he had.
“Big brother, let’s go train together in the afternoon.” ” Ou Nisi Te stuffed the food into his big mouth. His appetite was so large that it made Zou Liang’s appetite’s disappear.
“I’ll give the rest of my food to you. Big brother has to go to the library this afternoon so you go by yourself. ”
Perhaps he was his only relative in this lonely world. Zou Liang held a great opinion of Ou Nisi Te. Not to mention, Ou Nisi Te respected him greatly, even when other people did not see him as a person.
“I am so useless, making big brother work.” Ou Nisi Te scratched his head. However, he still happily grasped the plate and swept clean the food.
Zou Liang laughed helplessly. Maybe to be like Ou Nisi Te, who was optimistic no matter what the situation and who had no worries, was true happiness. But Ya Se was like every other Bi Er clansman. . He was as stubborn as a rock. What was his past life’s dedication for?
It seemed that after the college entrance exams, life could be lived freely. He insisted on only putting effort into gaming. Unfortunately, his ability for gaming was useless in this world. If he knew that, he would have learned some cooking. Learn what mechanical engineering, God why did you not tell me when I took the college entrance exams..
Zou Liang arrived at the library and put himself on a seat without a purpose. The passing by students saw him as a dead object and ignored him completely. Sometimes Zou Liang wished they would come and mocked him with a few sentences so that the time would pass.
“Hello, may I ask in which section the herbal medicine handbook is?”
The bored to death Zou Liang who was lying on the seat heard a soft voice coming through his ear. It was a Rui Bo Te (瑞波特) of the rabbit clan.
Her soft and polite speech didn’t show any bit of the arrogance of a noble family.
The majority of the rabbit clan belonged to the non-battle occupation. In the empire they were relatively weak but a lot of them were successful merchants. However in the Meng Jia Empire where things were decided by combat strength, only possessing wealth was not enough.
Zou Liang lifted his head suddenly. A beauty!
A Beast race beauty. The rabbit clan’s figure could let a man puff blood. And indeed Zou liang almost puffed. In front of him was a quite outstanding pretty girl of the rabbit clan. This magnificence could let a person tremble and let the person realize that reading xx magazines would be better with rabbit maidens as models.
“What are you lookin at, tell me quickly.” She roared. At once Zou Liang awoke from his dream about the Bi Er clan. The brothers of the Bi Er clan, were the school’s disgrace. Every time the major clan competition came around, the Xi Bo Lai brothers would constantly be attacked by Bi Er clansmen. This made them quite anxious to not meet their fellow clansmen.
“It’s on the right. Turn left and you’ll see it.”
Zou Liang was not angry. The rabbit clan beauty knit her brows and frowned but still nodded her thanks politely. But added that the strong Bi Er clansman was a bit dull to talk to.
Although the Mengjia empire worshipped strength, the male tyrants could not bully the females so easily, after all each beast loved each of their family members. Only creating problems, peacefully passing each day was good. [What?? Help: 只要制造问题，安安稳稳的过日也不错]
The Bi er clan strong men’s obvious attitude towards beauties was quite interesting. They chased after them and stuck on like ticks to a dog. [TL: Actually says something like “cottoning up” but I thought that this was a better metaphor P:] Zou Liang shook his head, replaying his dream. Maybe, when he woke up he would return to his own world. This was just a dream.
Sunset arrived. Zou Liang began to organize the library.There was simply too much disorder with no semblance of a tidy appearance. He couldn’t help but to say, “***, do these savages not know the principle of returning books to their proper places after finished with reading them!”
Zou Liang had a small headache. He wanted to nail a note on every bookshelf, like in his previous world, to lighten his workload a little.
When he went to the herb field guide section, he saw that there was still someone who had not yet left.
“Classmate, the library is now closing, you can come again tomorrow.” Perhaps because it was too quiet, Zou Liang thoughtlessly replied with the tone he used in his previous world. [TL: As opposed to the meek way he speaks when faking out all the rest]
They turned around, looking at the Bi Er “celebrity” who was neither overbearing nor haughty with a bit of suppressed feeling. It was the rabbit clan girl.
“Excuse me, could you give me five more minutes, I’m almost done.”
“Sure, I also need some more time to clean up. It’s okay as long as you leave before the doors close.” Zou Liang smiled and nodded, then went off to do his own tasks. Beauty, and the appreciation of it, had to be regulated like medicine. Plus, he was not flower [girl] crazy.
The rabbit family girl was quite surprised but did not care, concentrating on copying the information needed.
However, waiting until Zou Liang left to leave, Zou Liang was not without reward. At least after coming here, he remembered a second name, Ai Wei Er (àiwēi’er). A cute rabbit girl.
When he returned to the dorms, Ou Nisi Te had already arrived. However, he was lying down, his entire body covered with bruises. Zou Liang didn’t know how he could endure living with this much anger in him.
“Those bastards used the excuse of exchanging pointers to beat you again!”
“Brother, it’s my fault for being weak, I will try harder.”
“Fucking hell, these guys are really sons of bitches!” [TL: He says something equivalent to that in northeast chinese slang.] Zou Liang was furious, in his memories, this was not the first time Ou Nisi Te had been beaten like this. Can exchanging pointers really lead to something like this?
He did not want to provoke anyone, but someone was always finding excuses, this world was really cheap ah!
Zou Liang sudden burst of foul language was in Mandarin, Ernest’s expression was at a loss. Of course, he knew that his brother’s anger was for his sake.
“Wait a moment, I’ll help you bandage yourself.”
At the very least, Zou Liang knew basic medical aid. Actually, even if you disregarded Ou Nisi Te’s resilience, these kinds of superficial wounds would disappear before long. But looking at his swollen-nosed, clear-eyed appearance made the flames of anger in Zou Liang’s heart rise.
Suddenly, Zou Liang blanked out in shock. Did he…really enter this role? [TL: He’s just shocked he actually feels something even though it isn’t his life.]
