Ding!
"Congratulations, you've established prestige connections with ten students, completing the achievement 'First Teacher'. Reward: 1x black-iron treasure chest. Please continue to work hard."
A black iron-colored treasure chest appeared before Sun Mo's eyes.
Sun Mo resisted the urge to open it immediately. As an unlucky person, he would definitely not open a treasure chest unless he touched the papaya girl to improve his luck.
Otherwise, even if it was a diamond treasure chest, Sun Mo might open a trash item.
...
Sun Mo didn't let Lu Zhiruo wait outside the dorm, but the papaya girl still woke up early. She first did her routine morning cultivation, ate breakfast, and then went to the teaching building to wait.
"Eh? Zhiruo? You're so early! "
Li Ziqi didn't arrive late today. She planned to pick a 30-person classroom with good sunlight and a good view. She wanted to use it as the fixed location for everyone's lessons.
"Eldest martial sister!"
Lu Zhiruo, who was sitting on the stairs, hurriedly got up and greeted her with a lowered head.
"Little martial sister!"
A smile immediately bloomed on Li Ziqi's face. The title of 'eldest martial sister' was truly praiseworthy. "Let's go, let's go pick a classroom!"
Lu Zhiruo followed behind obediently.
Li Ziqi's standards were extremely high. She didn't want the first to third floors as the view wasn't good. Hence, she started to wander around the fourth floor.
Half an hour later, she finally found three classrooms that she liked.
"Which classroom do you think is good?"
Li Ziqi stood beside the window and stared at the Sorrowless Lake in the distance. It was drizzling today, causing the entire campus to be enveloped in a layer of mist.
It was like a young girl who had just taken a bath and was reading a book while lying on the bed. It was very poetic.
"This one!"
Lu Zhiruo also liked this room.
"Let's choose this one then!"
Li Ziqi made her decision and walked to the blackboard. She picked up a charcoal pen and wrote on it, "I have a class at 8 am, please understand!"
All the major schools had such a custom. If you wanted to use a classroom, you had to inform them in advance so that the students would know.
Otherwise, if you suddenly told them that this classroom was already used after studying for half a day and the class was about to start, not only would it disturb their state, but it would also be too disrespectful.
There were originally six students in the classroom. After seeing Li Ziqi writing this, they started to pack their books and search for another classroom.
"Thank you everyone!"
Li Ziqi was very attentive. She stood at the door and took out the pastries she had specially bought at Daoji as an apology gift.
"Wow, it's Daoji's Osmanthus Cake, so generous!"
A girl looked at the paper bag with the word 'Dao' on it. She was shocked.
Daoji's pastries were the most famous in Jin Ling city, and they were the most popular among their girlfriends.
Regardless of whether it was a young lady from a wealthy family or a pretty daughter from a humble family, they all liked it very much. The degree of praise it received was similar to Starbucks in the future.
Of course, the price was also very expensive.
An ordinary daughter from a humble family would have to save up a month's worth of pocket money to go on a luxurious trip once.
"Thank you!"
Li Ziqi smiled. She was reserved yet polite, giving off a very good impression.
Soon, the classroom was empty.
"Alright, this place is our territory." Li Ziqi was very satisfied. "There are still quite a lot of pastries. Take them and eat them yourself."
"En!"
Lu Zhiruo nodded.
Students came in one after another, but after seeing the message on the blackboard, they left again. However, there were three guys who were an exception.
They had already seen the message on the blackboard, but they still came in and sat at the back of the classroom. They started to talk in low voices.
Li Ziqi frowned and prepared to explain.
"Don't."
Lu Zhiruo stretched out her hand and pulled Li Ziqi back. "Maybe they will leave later."
"I hope so!"
Li Ziqi frowned slightly and would occasionally take out her pocket watch to take a look.
Upon seeing this, Fu Chao's eyes brightened. "I didn't expect that girl to be so rich. The pocket watch in her hand is a product from Western Country. Even the cheapest one would cost over 10,000 taels of silver."
"Is that true?"
Zhang Wentao also turned his head and looked at Li Ziqi.
To the west of Middle-Earth's Nine Provinces, it was known as the Western Region. Further west of the Western Region, it was said that there was another piece of land. That place was known as Western Country by the people of the Nine Provinces.
If one were to walk, they would need several years. But if one were to take a boat, it was said that they would be able to reach this piece of land after sailing for over a year.
On this piece of land, there was a type of human with blonde hair and blue eyes. These western pocket watches that were known as mechanical clocks were created by them.
These pocket watches could accurately indicate the time and were much more convenient compared to sundials.
Li Ziqi glanced at the pocket watch. There were less than five minutes before the 8 o 'clock class. She couldn't wait any longer. Hence, she picked up the pastries and walked toward the three guys.
"I'm sorry, we'll be borrowing this classroom!"
Li Ziqi smiled and handed over the pastries.
"Please don't disturb me. I'm about to calculate this question."
Zhang Wentao indicated for Li Ziqi not to speak.
Fu Chao glanced at it.
Tsk, it was pastries from 'Daoji'. As expected, this girl was from a wealthy family. He heard that these pastries were very expensive. Eating one piece would be equivalent to two to three days' worth of living expenses for an ordinary family.
Fu Chao's mouth started to secrete saliva, but very soon, his mood became unbearable.
He thought of his mother waking up early every day to wash clothes for others. She worked hard for a few years before she could save enough money for his school fees.
His mother was very tired from work. Many a time, she didn't even have time to eat lunch because if she didn't finish her work, the boss wouldn't pay her.
Also, in winter, the well water was ice-cold. His mother's hands were so cold that there were cuts all over her hands. However, she couldn't rest because if she rested, she wouldn't be able to save enough money for school fees.
"It's really unfair!"
Fu Chao looked at Li Ziqi's hands. Her skin was soft and tender, and her ten fingers were slender and white. Any guy who saw them would definitely want to hold them in their hands and play with them.
But at this moment, Fu Chao only felt disgust in his heart.
This pair of hands must have never done any heavy work since he was young. No, most probably, she hadn't done any light work like sweeping or sewing before.
Li Ziqi no longer spoke. As she waited, she glanced at the question Zhang Wentao was calculating.
In any school, there would be mathematics classes because this was the foundation.
For example, it was used for drawing diagrams in mechanics, for alchemy, for calculating the ratio of ingredients, and for daily shopping, it was even more so.
"You can't even do something so simple?"
Li Ziqi frowned slightly. When there were only two minutes left before the class started, she spoke again.
"I'm sorry, this classroom..."
Before Li Ziqi could finish speaking, she was interrupted.
"I said not to disturb me."
Zhang Wentao was very unhappy. "My train of thought has been interrupted again."
"Looking at the steps you took to solve the question, you are planning to use the division method, right? From the third step onward, you have already calculated wrongly. You wrote an extra '1'. Hence, your subsequent steps are all a waste of effort. "
Li Ziqi had no choice but to say this. Looking at Zhang Wentao's appearance, this question was clearly beyond his capabilities. It would already be a miracle if he could solve it in the morning. However, Li Ziqi couldn't wait that long.
Zhang Wentao looked at the third step and recalculated. After that, his countenance turned black. He had really calculated wrongly here.
"Your division method isn't wrong, but it wastes too much time. Why don't you change it to the Continuous Reduction Method? The final answer is 16!"
Li Ziqi suggested.
"Wow!"
Lu Zhiruo looked at Li Ziqi with admiration. Her eyes were filled with little stars. Eldest Miss' brain was so impressive!
After hearing this, Zhang Wentao's countenance turned even darker. With a smack, he smashed his notebook onto the table and glared at Li Ziqi.
"What do you mean by this? Are you trying to show off your superiority? My math isn't as good as yours, but do I need you to solve it for me? Who the hell do you think you are? "
Zhang Wentao retorted.
Actually, other than being unhappy with Li Ziqi, Zhang Wentao's anger was mostly because he was blaming himself for being useless. Li Ziqi looked to be about the same age as him, but she was able to solve a question that took him three days to solve. Such a sense of defeat was truly unbearable.
Zhang Wentao's math wasn't bad and had always been proud of it. He would always take the initiative to find some tricky questions to solve and then use them to challenge the students of the Mathematics Association.
When he saw them stumbling and eventually asking him for help, Zhang Wentao would feel an indescribable sense of joy in his heart.
But now, he was dealt a blow.
"I didn't. I only want to ask you guys to give up this classroom."
Li Ziqi endured her anger.
"Why should I give it up? Is this classroom yours? "
Zhang Wentao's voice was very loud.
"I've already written a message."
Li Ziqi pointed to the blackboard.
"I love to bask in the morning sunlight in this classroom the most. You want me to leave just because you want to use it? Why should I?"
Zhang Wentao retorted angrily.
This was just an excuse. His goal was to incite conflict.
"Eldest martial sister, why don't we forget it and change to another classroom?"
Lu Zhiruo was most afraid of people shouting at her. She hid behind Li Ziqi and tugged at her clothes.
"I can give you compensation!"
Li Ziqi frowned. She hated giving up halfway when doing things.
"This girl's temper is quite good!"
Zhang Wulue, who had been silent all this while, secretly surveyed Li Ziqi. Although the shorter girl beside him had big breasts, he admired this girl with an oval face even more.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Wentao was still thinking of how to retort when Fu Chao erupted.
"Compensation? So what if you are rich? Then give me 1,000 taels of silver and we will leave! "
Fu Chao hated these rich people the most. Hence, he gave a sky-high price.
Li Ziqi opened her purse and took out a banknote from the Great Tang Bank. She then slapped it on the table.
Pak!
"This is 1,000 taels of silver. You can leave now!"
Li Ziqi spoke. Because the attitude of these two guys wasn't good, she also felt a little angry. That was why she slapped the table. If not, she would pass the banknote to them properly.
A problem that could be solved with money wasn't a problem at all.
If she couldn't even settle a classroom with a good environment, her junior martial brothers and sisters would doubt her ability as the eldest martial sister and her prestige would be damaged.
Zhang Wentao and the other two were stunned. No one expected that Li Ziqi would really bid 1,000 taels of silver. The word 'nouveau riche' instantly barged into their minds.
