This was bound to be a sleepless night. Every time the passive effect of Single's Curse was triggered, Wang Ling was always worried that a new bug would pop up.
On the other side, Lotus Sun, who was lying on her fifty-meter-long bed, was also lost in deep thought. She regretted her confession today. She had clearly mustered up the courage to say it, but when the words left her mouth, they turned into something else.
Ai … it was a good thing there was no one around, otherwise it would have been too embarrassing!
Lotus Sun buried her head in the pillow and slapped the bed with her slender legs.
It was November 5th, the second day of school at No. 60 High.
The news that several Senior Three students had disrupted the one-on-one tutoring group and pierced a hole in the classroom's ceiling had spread through the class. Although the ceiling had already been repaired overnight, many people still praised this incident from the bottom of their hearts: Well done!
Wang Ling: "…"
As it turned out, tutoring with Lotus Sun was still too much of a nuisance … But Old Pan's plan clearly wouldn't stop here. He wondered if he should raise his scores a little in the next mock exam so that his scores wouldn't be lower than the average and he could get an above-average score. This way, the one-on-one tutoring group plan would continue, and Wang Ling would be able to get rid of the distress of having to stay at school for tutoring earlier, and give this glorious and great learning opportunity to the next unlucky person.
In the morning, it was Old Antique's theory of history class.
After a summer break, the students still missed him a little.
When the familiar figure stepped into the classroom, everyone's eyes began to stare fixedly at Old Antique.
"Why do I feel like Old Antique has lost some weight?"
The students in the classroom silently observed Old Antique's rotund figure. After the summer break, they were surprised to find that Old Antique seemed to have lost a lot of weight.
"I heard that Old Antique went to volunteer teaching during the summer break," someone in the know finally said.
"Volunteer teaching?"
"Mm … I heard it's a very poor place. Every year, our city organizes teachers to volunteer there. This year, it's our No. 60 High and several other high schools in Peiyuan district who send teachers there. Old Antique is one of them, and he's been teaching there for half a month. " This student said, "In addition to the teaching mission, the school has also raised money to buy teaching supplies, such as textbooks and teaching spirit swords. These things can't be found in rural areas."
When this student said this, everyone couldn't help sighing in their hearts. Huaxiu nation could already be considered a prosperous and powerful nation since its founding, but some poor areas were inherently disadvantaged due to their geographical location, which directly led to unbalanced regional development. Although the motherland was prosperous, they had to admit that there was still a gap between the rich and the poor.
"Students …" Old Antique stood on the dais. After returning from his teaching experience this time, his heart was filled with emotion. Half a month of volunteer teaching was very short, but it was enough for Old Antique to have a deep understanding of the poverty and hardships of a foreign village. "I'm sure everyone already knows that half a month ago, my teacher went to Xihai Village in Xihai county for a half-month volunteer teaching mission."
"The Alliance of Ten Thousand Schools initiated this volunteer teaching activity many years ago, and it's not just for winter and summer vacations. Every day, in every prosperous big city, schools would organize teachers to take turns teaching activities. The mobile volunteer teaching activity has greatly improved the teaching of cultivation in the poor areas of our country. At the same time, it has also provided great help to the children in those poor areas. "
"It must be very hard, teacher, right?"
"I'd be lying if I said it wasn't hard." Old Antique smiled bitterly. "The terrain in those places is harsh, so the teachers who carry out the volunteer teaching activities have to be at least at the Golden Core stage on average, otherwise it'll be very dangerous. Because of the strong acid in the underground spirit vein, the residents in these areas have no choice but to endure such a harsh environment. "
"Can't they move to a big city?" Super Chen asked.
"They've lived here for generations, and their physiques have changed because of the environment, so those places aren't suitable for outsiders to live in. Furthermore, they can't move elsewhere. That's because it's very easy for them to not acclimatize to the environment. If they carry out volunteer teaching activities in such a dangerous place for a long time, it will have a huge impact on the teachers' bodies, which is why the volunteer teaching activities were carried out. "
Old Antique said, "The special geographical environment makes it impossible for the local residents to smoothly develop in other places, and for people from outside the city to settle in and trade with them. In the long run, the area's economy will fall behind. And there are many other places with such a harsh environment like West Sea Village.
"But because the underground spirit vein can't be completely changed, our country can only intervene in other ways to stimulate the economic development of poor areas. For example, we can fire spirit power missiles into the sky that can suppress the strong acid in order to maintain a stable climate for a period of time.
"Another example is to take advantage of the special attribute of the underground spirit vein, and use its corrosive power as an energy source. In the West Sea Village that teacher went to this time, the villagers are very good at decomposing garbage. They all have a trash can at home that goes straight to the ground, and when all their daily waste is thrown into it, it will immediately be decomposed by the strong acid in the spirit vein … in some sense, this is also a way to protect the environment. "
"Teacher, it's been hard on you, you've lost weight …" At that moment, someone finally brought up the main point.
"Actually, the main reason I've lost weight isn't because of the volunteer teaching activities … it's because there's no snack bar in that place! I finished all the spicy strips I brought on the first day! It wasn't enough at all! "Old Antique cried like a storm.
Everyone: "…"
…
…
In the theory of history class this time, Old Antique used volunteer teaching as the topic to bring up a very key test point: underground spirit veins.
Underground spirit veins were special energy bodies hidden deep underground. They weren't tangible, but were entrenched in one place like roaming dragons.
When cultivators went into seclusion, they would often choose the most suitable geomantic location for their seclusion, and many cultivators would also rely on calculating the location of underground spirit veins to choose the specific location for their seclusion.
There were big and small spirit veins, and they all had different attributes. The energy contained in the underground spirit veins under a big city was undoubtedly enormous. This was especially true for the spirit vein under the capital, Jinghua City.
After class, Old Antique gave everyone a handout which listed the locations in which various underground spirit veins had appeared in historical periods. These were all mandatory test points for the next monthly test. During the test, ten spirit veins would be randomly selected from over a hundred pieces of information. Everyone had to answer the historical period in which the spirit vein had appeared as well as its attribute to be considered a success.
After helping Old Antique hand out the handout and form, Lotus Sun couldn't help looking in Wang Ling's direction.
Yesterday's confession … had actually been a little awkward …
She didn't know what Wang Ling was thinking, and had planned to sneak a peek at him. She hadn't expected that as soon as she looked over, she would actually find that Wang Ling was also looking at her.
