# Chapter 701: He Seems Like a Teacher
Sister Siwei’s words made Uncle Wan’s scent fluctuate repeatedly.
His expression matched his scent—first he stared at Sister Siwei for a long time, then lowered his head and rapidly pondered something.
“She’s right… every one of us in this ‘family’… should have the ability to stand on our own.”
He seemed to recall something, walked outside, and said to everyone:
“Everyone, I’ve just confirmed with this child—none of you are ‘Fragrant Ones’.”
The moment he said this, everyone fell silent. A few seconds later, they erupted into chaos.
“What does that mean?!” a young brother who had just arrived asked.
“It means no one gets a reward today,” Uncle Wan said.
“So many of us, and we can’t even get food?!”
“Are you scamming us or something?”
“I think I smell pretty good! Let that kid smell me again!”
Voices clamored from all sides. I knew that feeling—this was about to turn into an argument.
If they all started arguing with Uncle Wan, he definitely wouldn’t be able to talk back, and he might even get beaten up.
Uncle Wan took a deep breath. Just as he was about to speak, I suddenly froze.
The scent came.
That wonderful, clean fragrance on him appeared!
**「Silence」!!**
A tremendous voice suddenly exploded, stunning everyone into silence. Even I covered my ears in fright.
It wasn’t just us who got scared—even the owner of that voice was startled. Uncle Wan himself looked shocked too.
But he quickly stabilized his scent and began speaking to everyone:
「Everyone, you should have noticed that my voice has changed. This is my ability—it’s called ‘Amplify Voice’.」
He cleared his throat and stood directly before the crowd.
「Though my ability may seem utterly useless, I know that I’m just an ordinary guide. You are the ‘future’.」
「So my ability might be quite useless for this land, but as a ‘guide’, it fits perfectly.」
Hearing Uncle Wan’s booming voice, no one dared to speak up and could only listen quietly.
「Some of you know me, some don’t. My name is Wan Cai, but that doesn’t matter at all. You can call me A or B. You could even call me Doraemon or Astro Boy. None of that matters. What I want to ask you now is—what matters most?」
Everyone listened quietly, not daring to answer.
I suddenly felt that Uncle Wan seemed like a teacher. Our teacher would also suddenly ask questions during class, and the students who had been daydreaming would get a fright.
「The important thing is to earn… The important thing is to escape!」
Uncle Wan continued loudly.
「But then again, ‘escape’ and ‘earn money’ are essentially no different. If no one leads you, you’ll just grope around in the dark here and eventually die. For example, if you find a hundred bucks on the street, the first thing you think isn’t who lost it. That’s the idea. So my name is irrelevant. You only need to know that I am a ‘guide’, a ‘selfless person’, and someone who plans to lead everyone to escape.」
At this moment, everyone’s scent was very complex—they were suspicious.
“But…” a brother said, “do you know what this place is about? Why are we gathered here?”
「I don’t know. The rules I know are the same as yours. First, we must ‘survive’ here, so I’ve prepared plenty of food for everyone. Second, every one of us has a chance to gain a ‘superpower’, so I’ve arranged an examiner.」
Uncle Wan pointed at me.
「That child’s ‘superpower’ is being able to tell whether others have ‘superpowers’. That’s why I had you all go to him one by one. But unfortunately, none of you have awakened today, so no one gets a reward.」
“But we came because we heard there was food,” a chubby brother said. “Aren’t you cheating us? Playing games with us?!”
I could clearly sense anger in that person’s scent, but Uncle Wan just smiled when he heard him.
“Hello.” Uncle Wan stopped using Amply Voice and spoke in a normal tone. “Would the people behind this young man please step aside to the left and right?”
“Behind?”
Everyone looked at where they were standing, then moved to the sides. The brother who had asked the question now had no one behind him, revealing a clear path.
“What does that mean?” the chubby brother asked.
“Please leave,” Uncle Wan said.
“Leave…?” The chubby brother hesitated. “What do you mean? Didn’t you invite us here?”
“Let me reiterate to everyone—we are not a team or an organization. We are a ‘family’. Anyone who doesn’t trust me can leave right now.” Uncle Wan’s tone grew very serious. “I won’t force anyone. I need all of you to stay here completely voluntarily, and to fully trust me. Since this young man doesn’t trust me, he can leave now.”
The atmosphere was really strange. The chubby brother was put on the spot by this remark.
“Make me leave…?” His face turned red. “Then aren’t you a liar? What did you call us here for?”
Everyone around became cautious, their scents wavering between leaning toward the chubby brother and toward Uncle Wan.
“Me, a liar?” Uncle Wan smiled again. “Alright, young man. Shout it out now—what did I cheat you out of? Money or ‘jade’, food or property? We’re all standing here. Go ahead and tell us.”
The chubby brother hesitated again. When everyone’s eyes were fixed on him, he always stopped thinking for a moment.
“I… I…”
“Young man, not only am I providing food to everyone for free, I’ve also taught you all an important lesson—you now know the rules of this place right away.” Uncle Wan said earnestly. “Have you ever met anyone more selfless than me?”
Seeing the chubby brother speechless, Uncle Wan pressed on. “All of you, tell me together—have I cheated any of you out of anything?”
After a few seconds, an aunt said, “No.”
“I can’t hear you,” Uncle Wan said.
“No!” several people shouted at once.
“I still can’t hear you!!” Uncle Wan shouted.
“No!!” countless voices cried out.
At this point, Uncle Wan turned around and looked at the chubby brother again. “Please leave.”
The chubby brother thought for a long time before finally squeezing out a sentence: “I won’t leave. I want to see what you’re going to do.”
