Chapter 143: Before the Game Begins.
"So, Dean, you've cornered me here just for this?"
Xuan Mo held a blueprint in his right hand and a chicken drumstick in his left. He raised an eyebrow and glanced at Flanders.
"Yes, wasn't I asking for your opinion?"
Flanders smiled and nodded. "How's it going, Mo? My design is pretty good, isn't it?"
Xuan Mo glanced at the uniform design again.
Honestly, whether in his past life or this, he had little idea about clothing.
So, facing the design, he couldn't explain it.
However, Xuan Mo remembered that in the original novel, clothing seemed to cause a lot of resentment.
"Mo, what do you think of my design?"
Seeing Xuan Mo's stunned expression and no response for a long time, Flanders had to ask again, which finally brought Xuan Mo back to his senses.
"This... should be okay."
Xuan Mo wanted to reject Flanders' design outright, but when he saw Flanders' "gentle" eyes looking into his, he swallowed his words back.
"Okay, since you've said that, I'm sure my design won't be too bad. I'll go get a sample made and bring it back tomorrow for you to try."
Flanders snatched the design back and, without giving Xuan Mo a chance to speak, hurriedly headed out.
Before leaving, Flanders took a moment to glance at the wall Xuan Mo had just damaged. He then made Xuan Mo pay five gold soul coins for the repairs before leaving satisfied.
Looking at Flanders' back, Xuan Mo cursed inwardly, "Uncle Swindler! With such a small amount of damage, he still charged me five gold soul coins. Swindler, damn swindler."
Then, he glanced down at his empty right hand, pulled the wine gourd from his "King Kong," took a swig, and muttered, "I don't think something's right."
He tilted his head, thinking, but finding nothing, he thought to himself, "The finished garment shouldn't be as bad as I thought. Never mind, as long as it's not too ugly and comfortable, it doesn't matter."
Then, Xuan Mo leisurely made his way towards the dormitory, sipping wine and eating meat.
Little did he know that tomorrow, Xuan Mo would regret the decision he made tonight.
...
"Bang, bang, bang!"
"Brother Mo, Brother Mo, wake up!"
A series of deafening knocks echoed on the door.
At this moment, Ma Hongjun was practically shouting at the top of his lungs outside Xuan Mo's dormitory door.
The next moment, Xuan Mo kicked the dormitory door open from the inside, sending Ma Hongjun, who was standing behind it, flying with the door.
"Fatty, I'll give you a chance to explain. Otherwise, I'll make you pay for it today."
Xuan Mo emerged from the dormitory with a gloomy face, his whole body filled with murderous intent. He glared at Ma Hongjun with murderous intent.
But Ma Hongjun, fearless at the moment, rushed to Xuan Mo and said, "Brother Mo, come with me! The teacher has prepared a set of hideous, shit-green uniforms for us, covered in logos and advertising! They're still samples."
Xuan Mo, who had been feeling unhappy, suddenly sobered up. Recalling Flanders' expression yesterday and Ma Hongjun's words, he felt something was amiss.
"Fatty, let's go," Xuan Mo said, throwing on a coat without even packing, and rushing to the meeting room with Ma Hongjun...
Meanwhile, in the Shrek Academy meeting room.
"Hurry up, try them on!"
Flanders pulled out two turd-green team uniforms, one for each man and woman. Emblazoned prominently in certain areas were slogans like "Extremely Charming, Wonderfully Fragrant Flower Dew, Wash for Better Health." From the moment they saw the uniforms, not only did Xiao Wu and the other four girls shake their heads in rejection, declaring they would never wear them to the competition, even at the cost of their lives.
Even the six grown men, including Tang San, froze in their tracks, their deepest protests echoing in their hearts.
But it was clear that facing Flanders's "dimensionality-reducing attack," any refusal was futile.
Just as Flanders was about to force his way in, Xuan Mo and Ma Hongjun suddenly burst into the meeting room.
"Dean (Teacher), wait a moment!"
Xuan Mo and Ma Hongjun spoke up together, stopping Flanders's advances.
The moment Xuan Mo entered the meeting room, he set his sights on Flanders' two uniform samples. Then, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Xuan Mo hadn't previously paid much attention to the style of clothing, mainly because in Xuan Mo's mind, even the worst clothes couldn't be that bad.
But now, the uniforms designed by Flanders had directly broken Xuan Mo's bottom line for poor clothing.
"Xuan Mo, I don't want to wear this..."
At this moment, Ning Rongrong walked over to Xuan Mo, grabbed Xuan Mo's arm, and said as she looked at Flanders' uniforms.
Xuan Mo shook his head and smiled bitterly at this. He had no say in the matter of the uniforms at this point.
Besides, Flanders's decision couldn't possibly be changed, especially since it was a profitable project.
So, Xuan Mo glanced at him and said, "Dean, we have to wear these uniforms, and we have to wear them for the competition..."
Before Xuan Mo could finish, Flanders looked at him seriously, smiled, and nodded. "Don't worry, try them on! I used good material, so they'll be very comfortable."
"Dean, aren't you afraid that Shrek will lose face?" Xuan Mo said, pointing at the unsightly uniforms.
Flanders simply waved his hand. "Respect is something you buy with strength. Besides, what's the value of face? It's not as important as gold soul coins."
Without giving anyone a chance to speak, he tossed two samples on the table, "professionally" measured everyone's body data as tailoring data, and then left the meeting room, ready to customize the actual uniforms.
"Brother Mo, what should we do?"
"Yeah, Old Mo. And the dean didn't even discuss this uniform issue with us. How abhorrent."
After Flanders left, everyone quickly surrounded Xuan Mo, hoping to get his advice.
Xuan Mo nearly broke out in a cold sweat after hearing what everyone said, but outwardly, he remained composed and steady.
After a moment's thought, Xuan Mo came up with an idea. "That's the only way. You guys come over here. We'll do it later... That way, everything will fall into place. I'll see what the dean can do."
After hearing Xuan Mo's explanation, everyone's eyes lit up. "Okay, let's do it. Since this isn't working out in public, let's do it covertly."
As for whether this plan would work or not, or whether it would be discovered, no one cared at this point...
For the next few days, Xuan Mo led Tailong and the other four to train with the other seven Shrek Devils.
With Tang San as the lead, the others coordinated and devised several tactical plans for the preliminaries, addressing various possible scenarios...
