Chapter 593: Banana Villainy Unorthodox (21)

Fox spirit matchmaker.

"Daoist brother, look quickly!"

Tu Shan Su Su immediately grabbed Bai Yuechu's sleeve, her ears trembling with excitement, and said, "This monkey teacher seems different from the other fierce Banana Masters; his attitude is very good!"

"You silly girl, what attitude?" Bai Yuechu said while gnawing a multicolored stick, squinting at the back of Banana Master as he walked away alone, "He just pretends to be a nice guy, and it seems he had some grudges with Luan Po before."

"Grudges? He knew Luan Po before?"

He finished the stick in a couple of bites, rose from the ground, and clapped his hands: "It's more than just knowing each other; they must have built a sizable feud. Luan Po had been fighting the Monkey‑taming Evil Ninja before, likely connected to this Banana Master—Luan Po surely knows the other isn't a good person, but neither side wants to make a scene in front of the students."

"Moreover, compared with the Dream‑building Banana Master, a petty opponent who openly opposes you, Banana Master's strategy of retreating to advance is even more clever. In front of everyone he got to say all the nice things; if Luan Po flips out again, it would reflect badly on you, the Sea‑Patrolling Ranger."

"So he's a villain too," Su Su tilted her head, her big eyes full of confusion, "Then why promote the Sleep Banana Little Monkey? If it's just for cuteness, foxes are cute and smart too! Can't we have good‑looking fox‑people like Tingyun and Huo Huo?"

Bai Yuechu chuckled, "Silly girl… that Monkey‑taming Evil Ninja is literally a monkey; I guess he's only interested in his own kind."

——

"Now the trouble's blown up… suddenly a crowd of onlookers showed up."

A few people stepped out of the teaching building, saw Mengtana looking for the student who had just fought the teacher, and after San Yueqi greeted her warmly, discovered she had joined the school's hottest club—the Sleep Banana Society.

And her designation changed; no longer Mengtana, but 【Able Person‑426】.

"Able Person‑426?" San Yueqi always felt the name was odd.

"Why is it called 'Able Person'?"

"I don't know either; it's a club rule, maybe it means members of this level are hard to handle! Anyway, this is my member number; everyone has their own, unique one!"

Mengtana introduced enthusiastically, "The Sleep Banana Society is a club of Sleep Banana Little Monkey fans; members aren't just students, they include the whole Pinokangni 'Banana Fans'. We make monkey merchandise, organize exhibitions, and regularly hold off‑camp activities—anyone interested? I can give an internal recommendation!"

San Yueqi exchanged glances with Dan Heng and Xing, instantly understanding, and immediately pretended to be interested, indicating a desire for the recommendation.

Unfortunately Mengtana's recommendation slots were few; she could only recommend one person at a time, so Dan Heng and Xing logically gave the slot to San Yueqi.

"Yay! After we say goodbye to the two of them, take me to complete the joining!"

After Mengtasha left, San Yueqi smiled cunningly, "Hehe, the three of us are still so in sync. This little monkey even has a social group—things are getting stranger… A rare chance, let me go investigate."

"One person is fine, right?"

"No problem; moving alone is less likely to alert anyone. Someone has to stay at school, so we'll split up."

——

Dragon Clan.

Under the sky, watching Mengtana's Sleep Banana Society member badge hanging from her neck, Chu Zihang lowered his head slightly, the fine black hair on his forehead shielding a flash of sharp light in his eyes.

"Able Person…" he murmured repeatedly.

"What did you think of?" Kaisa asked.

"Able Person refers to the earliest group of humans defined by paleoanthropology today," Chu Zihang lifted his head, his gaze steady on Kaisa, "They may have evolved from southern australopithecines; Latin calls them the first tool‑using humans, hence the term Able Person."

"Linking the Sleep Banana Society with Earth's earliest humans?" Kaisa raised an eyebrow, swirling the amber liquid in his cup, "But Able People are already millions of years old, with very limited intellect; such million‑year‑old skeletal frames can't be part of the Monkey‑taming Evil Ninja's plot—"

His words abruptly halted.

His sea‑blue pupils suddenly contracted.

Early humans… the beginning of ape‑to‑human evolution… Pinokangni everywhere…

Sleep Banana Little Monkey.

The phrase struck like a cold bullet, instantly piercing the previously relaxed atmosphere between them. Kaisa's lazy grin froze, a chill slithered up his spine, soaking his clothes.

"My conjecture is that the Monkey‑taming Evil Ninja's scheme may not involve Able People much; after all, the Able People we know are just fossil bones in museums. What concerns me are the two characters."

Chu Zihang said word for word, "—Evolution."

Kaisa inhaled sharply, tentatively asking, "So you think the Monkey‑taming Evil Ninja is conducting some kind of evolution experiment?"

Chu Zihang nodded, "Human evolution is like a winding river; both body and intellect have advanced enormously since millions of years ago. Yet any slight physical improvement takes tens or hundreds of thousands of years to evolve, so I suspect the mastermind wants to accelerate the trend via the Sleep Banana Little Monkey, pushing Pinokangni people further along. Someone like Mengtana, an 'Able Person'… is the starting point of this experiment, just as the Able People stood at the evolutionary origin millions of years ago."

"Makes sense… but isn't this overall benevolent? Helping human evolution isn't something to hide; why would the Sea‑Patrolling Ranger oppose it?"

Chu Zihang explained calmly, "Because the process may involve cruel human ethics—a common issue in scientific experiments. Such trials likely carry unpredictable risks, with many deaths… and the Sea‑Patrolling Ranger has already foreseen all this."

——

After San Yueqi left, a despondent "banana" sound suddenly came from Xing's feet.

They looked down and saw a Sleep Banana Little Monkey with a banana ornament on its head standing beside them; its wise eyes fully indicated the monkey wasn't very clever.

"... Sleep Banana Little Monkey? It has a tag—【Wealth Academy, Banana Opens Prosperity】. It's a plush you bought; the design's rather stylish."

"I thought I still owed an extra payment."

As soon as Xing finished speaking, the little monkey suddenly hopped on the ground, repeatedly shouting "banana banana banana," Xing reached out to test its weight, but the Sleep Banana Little Monkey seemed startled, leapt away…

"... It ran away, what do we do?"

"It's the new monkey I just mentioned!!" Xing felt a pang of sympathy.

"Alright, retrieve the plush first. But this plush… is practically alive."
