Beastmaster: I am a true genius

Warning: This chapter is from Xu Danye's perspective.

--------

After the college entrance examination, Xu Danye's life took a turn.

Before this, he was an ordinary student. Due to his parents' work transfers, he had to change schools frequently. In addition to his own personal reasons, he not only had no friends, but also had few familiar classmates.

A gambling father, a mother who only has eyes for her father, and him who is caught between his parents. This is their family of three.

"I gambled to give you a better life! Look at you, studying, eating, and learning, which of these things doesn't cost money? Do you think this money just flew from the sky?"

When my father is drunk, he will get angry. He will smash things around the house and complain about everything except himself.

"Nianchuan, mom and dad love you..."

The mother took on the debt and forgave the father again and again. She always wanted to leave, but could not take that crucial step.

Xu Danye knew that his mother would never leave. She would only blame him for all her misfortunes. Anyway, his mother didn't dare to say too much to his father. In this family, she could only scold the children.

Sometimes, my mother would say, "Nianchuan, if it weren't for you, I would have divorced him long ago!"

After hearing this kind of talk many times, Xu Danye would initially say something back, such as "If you want to leave, leave. Don't worry about me." Later, he realized that his words would only attract resentment and abuse, such as "Why did I give birth to an ungrateful person like you!"

So Xu Danye didn't refute it later.

Whatever, destroy it. He thought, do whatever you want, just die together...

"A Pia, do you think she loves me?"

One night, Xu Danye was scolded by his mother again. He really couldn't figure it out, so he asked Apia.

Apia, this is a ghost that Xu Danye brought back from school. Only he can see it. Maybe it doesn’t exist at all. He is schizophrenic and is talking to himself.

This happened during the college entrance examination. After the exam, the ghost did not disappear, but lived under his bed. This made Xu Danye feel great. From then on, he was no longer afraid of his parents' surprise attacks in the middle of the night - because his mother always rushed into his bedroom for no reason, regardless of the time, or whether he was sleeping or not, and woke him up in the middle of the night and scolded him.

So Xu Danye felt that he was too tired and could not sleep well every night. He wanted to resist, but he couldn't. He couldn't just pick up a chair and hit his mother who had just returned home from work, right?

"No. I don't think so."

The ghost replied, it was swaying beside the bed, and its smoky body became very long - about 3 meters long, like a snake, and its tail was curled like a lollipop.

Xu Danye tried hard to search for evidence from his memory: "But she often said that she loved me, and she cooked for me, prepared clothes for me... She was also very nice to me occasionally."

Ah Piao said, "Oh," "That's because you love her, so you think she loves you. This is all your illusion."

"Is it all my fault? Shouldn't I think too much? Why aren't my classmates' mothers like this?"

Xu Danye thought about it carefully and felt a little unconvinced.

Ah Piao said "hmm" again, absent-mindedly, "Brother, you have touched upon my blind spot. I really don't understand."

Xu Danye read "guilty" from that ghost face. This means that Ah Piao was speaking in a sarcastic way and he didn't think it was his fault.

Xu Danye covered himself with the quilt and lay down.

He was immersed in the night. His mother would come once and never again. He could sleep soundly until 6:00. His parents would get up in the morning to exercise together, but they would not call him.

His parents were very loving, he was just an accident.

Xu Danye thought that he was probably like a special certificate for the two of them, more powerful than a marriage certificate, able to prove to the outside world that they had entered the next stage - a love to the Nth power.

They really didn't love him, but it didn't matter, he was... not alone anymore.

When he closed his eyes, Xu Danye thought again.

He knew that Pia was always by his side, just like when his mother came in just now, he could call Pia, and as long as he asked, Pia would help him... He just didn't want to intensify the conflict. Because his mother would leave after a quarrel, he was used to it.

Apia is a ghost with weaknesses.

It is afraid of looking in the mirror. Once it sees a mirror, it will become irritable, pulling its hair, banging its head against the wall, and even rolling over and over.

Xu Danye asked it the reason several times before Ah Piao was willing to tell him: "...It's too ugly..."

The voice was still trembling and very painful.

"It's okay... not too ugly."

Xu Danye consoled. In fact, he didn't know how to console people. His consolation was usually mistaken for ridicule and would always provoke attacks from his peers. The same was true for his smile.

Apia: "You are good-looking, of course you don't understand!"

Xu Danye: "What's the point of being good-looking? If possible, I would rather be a ghost."

Apia: "Of course it helps to look good! When I'm in a bad mood, I look in the mirror and find that I'm so beautiful! Wow, my mood will improve immediately!"

Xu Danye: “…Really?”

Apia: "You can make a living with your face!"

Xu Danye was silent. When he looked in the mirror, he felt like a waste and couldn't find the direction for his future.

However, what Ah Piao said gave him inspiration...

So, Xu Danye went out to work!

However, he is not yet an adult... because one is considered an adult at the age of 18, and he is still one month away. Although this rule is a bit strange, it doesn't matter. Xu Danye finally found a part-time job - selling octopus balls!

The tall and handsome guy stood in front of the stall, and his meatballs were sold out instantly thanks to his 365-degree face!

After just two days, Xu Danye became a celebrity in the county. With five machines lined up side by side, he was frying meatballs like crazy - to be honest, going to school was not as tiring as this!

The most terrifying thing is that all his former teachers and classmates came to watch the school hunk making frying meatballs!

Laughter, doubt...

Xu Danye: It doesn’t matter, just pay the money.

Unfortunately, as soon as he got the money, his father found an excuse to take it away.

Anyone can tell that Yin Jiaren’s words are lies. He will only use the money to gamble. It would be better if he gave it to Yin Xiaobai. At least the latter would use it to pay off his debts.

"It's okay, just consider it as paying rent."

Xu Danye gave the money happily.

But as the subsequent popularity faded, Xu Danye gradually couldn't make that much money. His father suspected that he was hiding money and even teamed up with his mother to beat and scold him in an all-round way.

"What money do you need as a child this young?"

"How much money did you spend on food in the past? Don't you know the answer? This is what I taught you since you were a child."

"My family is in trouble now. How many times have the debt collection calls come in? Is this how you help?"

The beating and scolding were all for one purpose: to get money.

Xu Danye endured it all. His face was like a piece of hard leather, sewn with thick thread, making it indestructible. He would only keep answering, "Okay, okay, I got it. I'll go out and earn it."

There was no resistance throughout the whole process.

But he did hide the money secretly.

"Let's go to the mall."

After pretending to tell his parents that he was going out to work, Xu Danye turned to Apia and said.

This summer, he met many classmates while working. The ghost always appeared when there were many girls. He studied it for a long time and found that the ghost was looking at the girls' clothes.

Apia is a beauty-loving female ghost who likes beautiful clothes. She can materialize and wear skirts.

——Then...will the ghost wearing a skirt feel a little better when looking at the mirror?

Xu Danye didn't know, but he was in a good mood. He took Apia to the mall, and Apia followed him without objection. However, it didn't expect that he was going to choose clothes for it, so it stood there in a daze, not moving!

"Do you want to ask me for something?"

Apia even took several steps back!

"I'm telling you, I won't kill anyone for such a small profit, nor will I help you leave home..."

"Yeah, I know. I'm not planning on killing anyone, and I'm not planning on leaving home."

Xu Danye replied with a smile. Although he remembered nothing, he still remembered that this was his dream, because he had forgotten only the reality. He would never forget everything that happened in this dream - his memories and thoughts at the moment.

Everything here, including his parents and ghosts, is fake. Only he himself is real, but he has forgotten his true self.

It is not good?

Xu Danye thought.

As long as he doesn't break the dream, this kind of life will continue forever... Who cares about what is true or false?

"Let's go shopping first."

Xu Danye said, a smile appeared on his face again, and with that thin smile on his face, he casually pushed the skirts on the rack and picked out one of them.

——According to his previous statistics, ghosts see black skirts the most often, and he can afford the price of this one.

“I think you’d like this…”

Before Xu Danye could finish his words, he felt... in a place very far away and yet seemingly very close, an originally indestructible barrier... suddenly shattered!

At that moment, a very abrupt thought entered his mind: He could evolve to the [God Level]!!!
