Chapter 116 Don't you have anything to do?
"002, slow down, let that player catch up."
002: "Yes, Master."
Chu Xuange observed the silver car behind him; it was a level four vehicle.
In no time, the car caught up with them.
"Friends, why were you able to travel together? Can you tell me?"
The window of the silver SUV rolled down, and a man in a white vest, looking quite energetic, sat in the driver's seat.
Pei Hening said, "You can travel with others by using affixation props."
After getting the information he wanted, the uncle thanked them repeatedly and slowed down his car to increase the distance between them.
Chu Xuange: "This person should have been transferred from another division."
The player did indeed come over to ask questions, but he remained wary of the two of them, clutching his item tightly in his hand.
Judging from his expression, once he senses something is wrong, he'll definitely make his move against them first.
How did you know?
Chu Xuange tilted his head and said with a smile, "If your mental state is not right, it's like a bow that's already fully drawn; if you apply any more force, it might break."
While the two were talking, Helian Ye sent a message to Chu Xuange.
[In good spirits]: Bro, I only enjoyed a day of pleasant atmosphere, and then the servers merged, and a bunch of monsters and demons appeared.
[Princess Ningning]: Don't you have anything to do?
[Good mental state]:???
[In good spirits]: You've turned your back on me? I'm your childhood friend!
[In good spirits]: Okay, then I won't message you anymore, I'll message He Ning instead.
[Princess Ningning]: Let's talk.
[In good spirits]: Okay, do you have any duel cards? Can you spare me two?
Chu Xuange didn't ask him why he wanted duel cards, but gave him two duel cards and then closed their private chat window.
Pei Hening glanced at him.
"It's Helian Ye, he came to ask me for duel cards."
Pei Hening thought of Helian Ye's peacock-like personality and twitched the corner of her mouth: "You've already made enemies on your second day here?"
Chu Xuange shook his head: "I don't know, let's not worry about him, he won't die anyway."
Helian Ye is a Pelicans player; there's no way he could be killed so easily.
"Honey, tell 002 to stop the car. I'll go make lunch, and then we'll go to school."
They switched to a campervan trailer.
Pei Hening checked the refrigerator and found that there was still a lot of meat and eggs, but only a little bit of vegetables.
She asked, "Shall we start planting vegetables tomorrow?"
Chu Xuange took a piece of meat out of the refrigerator and washed it: "I planted some radishes and bok choy a couple of days ago. I haven't found any other vegetable seeds yet. Baby, you can keep an eye out for other vegetable seeds."
He simply couldn't grow vegetable seeds.
He bought the seeds he had previously acquired through a bargain in the chat channel, while the radishes and bok choy he was currently planting were specifically purchased from the male dwarf who was planting cherry trees for him.
Pei Hening understood: "Okay, I'll take a look."
She opened the chat channel and immediately saw that many players were arguing.
[General Manager Li of AAA Building Materials]: Are you guys sick? You're acting like your district is something special, but the area code we're using isn't even yours.
[Sanmu Qingyun]: We didn't even use your area code, so why are you jumping up and down like that?
[Sleepwalking]: Is there something wrong with what we said? Your 62-420 divisions only have a little over 10,000 players after the merger. You know in your hearts whether your strength is good or bad.
[In good spirits]: Eating melon seeds.jpg
[Continuing to cool down]: Stop arguing, aren't you annoyed?
[AAA Egg Wholesale]: Aren't you guys annoying? You're picking fights first thing in the morning, and you still haven't learned your lesson after one player died.
[General Manager Li of AAA Building Materials]: Yes, we only have a little over 10,000 players after the division merger, and our strength is not as good as yours, but isn't it too much for you to keep calling us weaklings?
[Continued cooling down]: It's like you're saying we're willing to be exploited, it's so annoying.
[As helpless as a dog]: As helpless as a dog.jpg
[Big Pot Stew Over Big]: What are you being sarcastic about? @Dog-like Helplessness
[In good spirits]: Praise your courage. (Thumbs up)
[DripDripDrip]: Celebrating your courage. (Thumbs up.jpg)
[Continued cooling]:?
[As helpless as a dog]: Are you talking about me? (Feeling wronged.jpg)
[Big Pot Stew]: That's you I'm talking about.
[AAA Egg Wholesale]: Shut up! Didn't you see the server rankings? Idiot! @BigPotStewGreater
[Ode to the Daylight]: 666
[Fairy Descending to Earth]: Wow, so many people! (jpg)
[As helpless as a dog]: As helpless as a dog.jpg
[Sanmu Qingyun]: Speechless. You people who are 62-420 are really stressed.
[The escaped mermaid]: She just posted an emoji and got criticized, so pitiful.jpg
[Big Pot Stew Over Big]: What are you being sarcastic about now?
[Lemon tree and lemon fruit]:?
[I can bury you in money]:?
[The Runaway Mermaid]: Brother Qianqian~ Waaaaaah~ They bullied me~
[I'll bury you in money]: Give me back my duel card @EscapedMermaid
[Big Pot Stew]: Sister Gou'er, my brother was just using my account. You are the person I admire and worship the most. I was the one being sarcastic. (Kneeling in worship.jpg)
[Hemu is beautiful]:?
[The escaped mermaid]: That won't do.
[Wintering in Johor]: Can things change that quickly?
[I can bury you in money]:...Oh
[Big Pot Stew Overwhelming]: Sister Gou'er has a belly so big it can hold a boat; she's strong, brave, and fearless; beautiful, kind, and magnanimous. I kneel in worship.jpg
[Good mental state]: 666
[Helpless like a dog]: I still prefer your defiant self from just now. (Embarrassed/Difficult.jpg)
[DibiDibi]: Buying vegetable seeds, price negotiable, private message if interested.
Pei Hening looked around for a while and, finding no one selling vegetable seeds, posted a message asking to buy them.
The message had barely been sent when my private messages exploded.
She randomly clicked on a private message; it wasn't about selling vegetable seeds, but rather asking for friend access.
"002, you help me acquire it."
002: "Yes, Master."
Chu Xuange made stir-fried white radish, sweet and sour pork ribs, cucumber salad, and lemon water.
"Eat first, there's no rush about the seeds."
——
School.
After the two parked the car, Chu Xuange pulled her out of the car and saw Helian Ye leaning against the car, playing with a lighter.
He wore a leopard-print shirt with the collar wide open, and straight black suit trousers.
"Hey~ you came together?"
Chu Xuange glanced at him and then pulled Pei Hening toward the teaching building.
Pei Hening asked with a smile, "Did you deliberately wait for us?"
Helian Ye strode after him, grunting, "Yeah, that's why I was thinking of asking you two to fulfill your promise to treat me to dinner."
Chu Xuange was speechless: "As for owing you a meal? We'll talk about it on the next map. You should focus on your assessment."
Ruen believes that only experience gained in actual combat is the most suitable nourishment for one's growth, so he likes to take him to observe other people's assessments.
So far, he has not seen Helian Ye's assessment.
Helian Ye chased after him: "Xuan Ge, don't expose people's hardships, don't you understand?"
Pei Hening turned to look at him and said, "Then you'd better hurry up, the map is about to change, the new map is heavy snow."
——
Floating island.
Pei Hening saw the bald little doll again.
"teacher!"
Sicily stood in front of her desk, looking at a series of analysis reports.
After reading the student's course analysis report, she looked up and examined Pei Hening's four attributes, which were roughly in line with her expectations.
Sicily laughed and said, "I heard you wanted to complain to me?"
Pei Hening:...
What complaint? When did it happen? She doesn't know!
"Teacher, what I mean is that I haven't seen you in a long time, and I miss you terribly."
Sicily chuckled, not dwelling on the matter, and said, "Your performance these past few days has been quite commendable. It seems you're adapting well to their teachings."
Pei Hening gave feedback: "The three puppet teachers each have their own characteristics and teaching styles."
After saying that, she emphasized again: "It's not that I adapt to their teachings, it's that they tolerate me and accommodate me."
The bald little doll put away the desk and analysis report, walked to Pei Hening's front, and said, "I think they will be very happy to hear your humble evaluation."
"I need to review the results of your work over the past few days."
After Sicily finished speaking, she raised the arena and released the monster—a three-meter-tall snow monster.
"The Yeti is very difficult to capture and kill, so you can try to kill it."
Pei Hening's gaze fell on the giant yeti on the arena. Its body was covered in white fur, its limbs were thick, and its blood-red vertical pupils were very intimidating.
The Yeti was clearly the teaching tool, but she felt that in the Yeti's eyes, she was nothing more than a delicate little snack.
Pei Hening suppressed her dissatisfaction at being looked down upon by the monster and became even more wary of it: "Fine!"
Xixia threw Pei Hening onto the ring.
She walked to the spectator area, found a comfortable spot to sit down, and made a live video call while watching the students attend class.
The creature that appeared on the screen was the black-haired woman with a white bandage wrapped around her right eye, whom Pei Hening had met twice before.
Her voice was clear, elegant, and beautiful, with a unique rhythmic quality. "Good day, Xixia."
Sicily shifted her gaze from the trainees to the video.
She said calmly, "Cornelia, it's time for Tetian to go back to school."
Cornelia's previously relaxed expression instantly tightened, her crimson lips pressed into a straight line, and her usually calm violet eyes were tinged with a hint of anger.
She looked directly at Cicissia: "The matter of Titien's power going out of control has only just been resolved and is not yet completely stable. Going back to school now will not help her regain control of her power."
Scia: "This is a notification."
Cornelia was furious. She sneered, "Yes, it's just a notification! When did our great Lord Cissa become like those good-for-nothings, using notifications to intimidate people? Don't tell me you can't handle Titien's leaving school!"
Sicily was silent for a moment, then said, "The elves cannot afford to make any more mistakes; the cost of breaking the balance is too great. Cornelia must return to school by tomorrow at the latest."
Cornelia clenched her fists, her tone still tinged with anger, and said, "I understand."
Pei Hening finished the lesson almost right on time.
Chu Xuange is right; the course became much more difficult after taking the advanced class.
After saying goodbye to Sicily, she left the classroom.
——
Chu Xuange was already waiting for her in the parking lot.
Was today's lesson very difficult?
Chu Xuange handed her a glass of lemonade and told 001 to drive away from the school.
Pei Hening leaned back in her chair, took a sip of water, and placed the glass on the table.
"Today, Sicily has ordered me to kill the Yeti."
Chu Xuange fell silent. How could Xixia be the same as Lu En?
The first monster he killed at school was a Yeti.
The Yeti was difficult to kill, at least for him at the time.
How are you feeling?
Pei Hening took out the book on the principles of magic that Xixia had asked 823786 to give her, and laid it open on the table: "It's alright, why don't you read with me for a while?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Xuange sat down next to her and read a book with her.
He exclaimed in surprise, "This is... a principle of magic?"
Pei Hening asked, "Yes, have you seen it?"
"I've seen similar ones, but I've never seen a book that explains the principles of magic so clearly."
In his memory, the concept of magical principles didn't appear until the end of the second year of his road survival adventure.
And books related to the principles of magic are even fewer.
In his fourth year of surviving on the highway, he obtained a book related to the principles of magic in Vice City. It wasn't very detailed, and many basic concepts were only briefly mentioned.
After the brief conversation, the two quietly began reading.
—All forces have a legitimate "source" and "cost".
The sources of power can be divided into three categories.
The first type draws from external sources, such as drawing the power of elements from nature.
A typical example is the banning of fire skills at highway gardening sites.
The second type is internal transformation, which transforms strong emotions into magic and forms corresponding skills.
For example, Pei Hening's acquired skills [Pain Sufferer] and [You really want to kill me?].
The third category is based on contracts, and this type has been discussed the least.
But Pei Hening still found an example—her talent skill [Partner Dice], which she had never used.
Pei Hening read and pondered at the same time.
Try to find relevant examples to quickly understand the principles of absorption magic.
It was past six o'clock when she came out of the flow state.
Chu Xuange also has excellent learning ability; he is also absorbing knowledge quickly. The difference is that he has not entered a state of flow.
Seeing that she looked tired, Chu Xuange said, "Rest for a while, how about noodles for dinner?"
Before they ventured onto the highway to survive, they would sometimes only eat a bowl of noodles when they were busy.
Even Pei Hening is a good noodle maker.
Pei Hening nodded: "Okay, I want to eat green pepper and shredded pork noodles."
While the other person was making noodles, she got out of the car and opened the box.
After she finished opening the box, Chu Xuange had just finished making the noodles.
"Wash your hands and eat."
Pei Hening put the packet of spinach seeds she had just opened into the cabinet that Chu Xuange used to store seeds.
"What is that?"
Chu Xuange saw her movements and asked a question.
Pei Hening washed her hands: "These are spinach seeds. Do you want to plant them now?"
Chu Xuange silently planned the arrangement of vegetable seeds, "No rush, save them for the next map."
After finishing their noodles, the two continued reading for a while longer.
Chu Xuange belatedly realized: "Baby, this book, could it be something your teacher compiled?"
