Volume One, Chapter Six: Five Disciplinary Plans

Page 1/3

“Hitting the instructor? No, that could cause minor injuries and turn into a criminal case.”
“Hitting the academy leaders? No, their ranks are too high; my father probably wouldn’t be able to control that.”
“Fighting with classmates? No, these guys are too strong; I can’t win.”
“Violation of school rule number 32: leaving without permission; repeated offenses can lead to punishment.”
...
The notebook was densely filled with various plans for breaking rules.
The leadership was so furious that they immediately dragged him off to solitary confinement.
In the dull confinement room, Ye Lin finally felt the power of solitude and quickly outlined several ways to receive punishments without being expelled.
After his release, Ye Lin began to carry out his plans to complete the tasks.

The first punishment plan: leaving without permission. As a member of the disciplinary corps, going out without leave was a serious taboo; knowing everyone’s whereabouts was the baseline for any disciplined unit.
“Ye Lin…”
“Where’s Ye Lin?”
“Going out? Damn it, who did he ask for leave from? How many times has it been?!”
From then on, the squad leader’s office was often filled with such angry roars.
At first, the leader still tried to reason with him, considering Ye Lin was part of the talent recruitment program. But after Ye Lin disappeared for three consecutive days, the leader decisively issued him a punishment. Those three days nearly scared him to death — if anything had happened to Ye Lin, the squad leader would have been finished.
The leader thought that punishment wouldn’t make Ye Lin behave, but surprisingly, it worked exceptionally well. Ye Lin never left without permission again.

Just when the leader believed Ye Lin had reformed, Ye Lin launched his second punishment plan.
He took a day off properly and left with official permission.
But when he returned, the squad leader was stunned — a man with a wildly explosive red afro, two earrings, jeans, and pointed leather shoes stood before him.
This look ignited the entire squad; classmates whistled wildly.
The squad leader covered his face helplessly and gave Ye Lin his second punishment, then forced him that very night to shave his head, remove the earrings, and change into a proper uniform.

The third punishment plan: fighting. Initially, Ye Lin wanted to pick a fight with a classmate, thinking familiarity would mean lighter blows, but after surveying them, he gave up — they were all well-trained and too strong. Instead, he chose an opportunity to get drunk at the police academy’s restaurant and picked a fight with the owner.
In the end, he barely managed a draw with the owner, though he was beaten black and blue. But he successfully received his third punishment.

Within a year, Ye Lin accumulated three punishments in a row, breaking the police academy’s record. The school leadership held multiple meetings considering expulsion, but since he was a talent and showed some improvement—never repeating the same mistake twice—they decided to tolerate him.

The fourth punishment plan: petty theft. The police academy was separated by a wall from the school’s family housing area. Since they were all insiders, management was lax. Many family members had fenced off small plots for vegetable gardening and poultry raising.
Ye Lin would climb the wall and simply steal whatever vegetables or poultry he found, cooking chicken or duck as he pleased, causing many family members to complain bitterly.
Several senior family members even stormed into the director’s office, pounding the table and demanding severe punishment for Ye Lin, forcing the police academy leadership to give him a punishment on the spot.

By the time of the fifth punishment, Ye Lin was truly stuck. The school was now closely monitoring him.
A special internal task was issued: keep a close watch on Ye Lin.
Whenever he was about to make a mistake, any cadet could immediately step forward and stop him by any means necessary.
Well, Ye Lin hadn’t expected the school to pull such a move.
As a result, in the last six months, he didn’t receive a single punishment.

With no options left, near the end of his final semester, during a police academy assembly overseen by senior leaders, Ye Lin suddenly charged forward mid-speech and unleashed a torrent of verbal abuse at the officials. The academy leadership’s faces darkened, but by the time he graduated, he had finally accumulated five punishments.

Having completed his task, Ye Lin began to behave like a good student, obeying rules every day and waiting quietly to graduate.
But while he was waiting for graduation, the police academy leaders were in turmoil.
They held three consecutive leadership meetings debating whether to let him graduate.
In the end, faced with overwhelming public dissatisfaction and divided opinions, the respected old principal broke protocol and approved his graduation.
The old principal had no choice; the families in the housing area were causing too much trouble, and if he forced this troublemaker to repeat a year, his wife and family would be furious.

Thus, the greatest troublemaker in the history of Yuezhou Police Academy finally graduated.
Ye Lin, having successfully graduated, was full of anticipation. After all his efforts, he had completed the system’s assigned task.
He thought this had to be at least an SSS-level mission and deserved a divine skill as a reward.
But the system was truly a joke.
What did it give him in the end?
“The nose of the Howling Heavenly Dog.”

Damn, this system had no physical form; if it did, Ye Lin would have slapped it.
Does it have any shame?
Could it have any more shame?
A dog’s nose, and specifically the nose of the Howling Heavenly Dog.
He tried it out — the nose was indeed much more sensitive, but that was all; it was utterly useless.

Unexpectedly, when he reported to Baiyun Police Station, he actually managed to catch an arsonist using this nose. That was the first time it came in handy.
Finally, the dog system gave him another reward.
“The foot of Ghost Foot Qi.”
What the hell was that?
Ghost Foot Qi was a character from a movie Ye Lin had seen before his transmigration — a martial artist famed for his powerful kicking techniques.
He had been crippled later, but that injury unlocked his hidden potential, pushing his leg skills to a new level.
The only downside was his foot remained lame.
Alright, since the previous gift, the Howling Heavenly Dog’s nose, proved useful, maybe this Ghost Foot Qi foot would be too.

...

Ye Lin and Lin Xianfeng followed Xie Changkun into the police station.
After the incident catching the arsonist, Xie Changkun’s opinion of Ye Lin improved considerably; at least here was a brave cop willing to fight criminals, even if his approach was a bit unorthodox — always starting from some female angle, which wasn’t quite respectable.
Still, thinking of the small van he had lost, Xie Changkun felt a pang of regret and inwardly weighed whether trading a normal Ye Lin for the van was a loss or gain.

“All right, everyone’s here. Now, please welcome the instructor to conduct the induction ceremony for our two new comrades.”
Instructor Huang Xuliang was a stout middle-aged man, with a noticeably protruding belly and a half-bald head, clearly a seasoned veteran.
Even upon seeing Ye Lin, his expression remained unchanged, calm and steady.
“Heh heh, comrades, let’s begin the induction ceremony.”
