A young man in his twenties walked into the reading area. The students nearby immediately stood up and bowed to greet him.
"Teaching Assistant Qin!"
The Middle-Earth Continent was a place of learning, and respecting teachers was a good tradition. Moreover, Teaching Assistant Qin had displayed the 'Encyclopedic Knowledge' halo, increasing everyone's learning efficiency. Hence, the students had to greet him.
Qin Fen wore the blue long robe that represented his identity as a teaching assistant. He had a smile on his face and pressed his hands down, indicating for the students not to be overly courteous and to continue learning.
"Teaching Assistant Qin's great teacher halo covers such a large area. It seems that he will be able to become a substitute teacher very soon!"
"Aren't you talking nonsense? He is a graduate from Summer Province's Jixia Learning Palace. That's one of the Nine Greats!"
"Sigh, I heard that our school only managed to recruit three graduates from a famous school this year. How tragic!"
Whispers rang out in the surroundings. A person's name was like a tree's shadow. The identity of a graduate from a famous school would always be recognized, and the students would be filled with respect. The four words' Jixia Learning Palace 'played a huge role in this.
Sun Mo's lips twitched.
In Middle-Earth, it wasn't easy to become a teacher. One had to comprehend a great teacher halo. This was a talent unique to teachers, allowing them to achieve twice the results with half the effort in teaching.
For example, the 'Encyclopedic Knowledge' halo. After a teacher used it, the students would enter a state of encyclopedic knowledge. Within a period of time, their memory and comprehension would be enhanced, allowing their learning efficiency to increase by several times.
Great teacher halos couldn't be grasped through learning and could only be obtained through comprehension. Hence, there weren't many teachers in Middle-Earth.
The first barrier to becoming a teacher was to comprehend the 'self-taught' halo before the age of 18.
Comprehension was a very rare and profound state. It was the kind of miraculous encounter where one would be able to find the person in the crowd after searching for thousands of times, only to find that the person was right in the middle of nowhere.
Comprehending the 'self-taught' halo meant that there was no problem with one's intelligence. Without the guidance of a great teacher, one would be able to comprehend the true meaning on their own.
At the same time, with the 'self-taught' halo, the frequency of comprehension would increase and one would be able to comprehend new great teacher halos in their teaching career.
In the various countries of the Nine Provinces, the hard standard to determine whether a teacher was outstanding was the number of great teacher halos they possessed.
The levels of great teachers were measured by 'stars'. Other than the 'self-taught' halo, if one had three more great teacher halos and was proficient in a secondary occupation, one would be a 1-star great teacher.
9-star great teachers were the most powerful, and they were also known as secondary saints.
"I'm not even a teaching assistant!"
Sun Mo mocked himself. The social status and respect of a 1-star great teacher was far from what a teacher could compare to. After his original self comprehended the 'self-taught' halo at the age of 16, he didn't manage to comprehend a single great teacher halo until he drowned yesterday. From this, one could see how difficult it was.
Speaking of which, the original body that shared the same name as him went to the outskirts to relax because he was bored and wanted to swim. In the end, because Li Ziqi misunderstood that he was committing suicide and jumped into the water to save him, the original body drowned in order to save her. This also facilitated the opportunity for him to transmigrate here.
"Hey, you're such a good person!"
Sun Mo tossed out a 'good guy card'. That 'Priceless Advice' halo should have been comprehended by his original self when he was about to die. He didn't use it this time and ended up benefiting himself.
The learning atmosphere in the Central Province Academy was very strong. Other than the time when the library would close for half a day in the morning to clean up the place, the library would be open all year round.
'Ding! Midnight has passed. The lucky treasure chest has been refreshed!'
As the system's notification rang out, a red-colored treasure chest with a huge 'fortune' word imprinted on it appeared before Sun Mo.
"What the hell?"
Sun Mo turned his head and took a look. Even though it was late at night, there were still many students immersed in their studies.
"Every day after midnight, the host will get a chance to draw a lottery."
The system explained, "If you find it troublesome, you can save them up and choose a good auspicious day to draw them all at once."
"Is it because the probability of getting a peak-grade item is higher if I burn incense, bathe, and kowtow?"
To someone like him who was unlucky, he could only use some metaphysical methods to increase his chances of getting a peak-grade equipment. For example, the simplest ten consecutive draws.
The system didn't reply. Clearly, it didn't want to answer such a retarded question.
"Then what are you waiting for? Open! "
With a treasure chest in front of him, who would be able to endure it?
There were no cool special effects. The treasure chest opened and a small clump of soil landed before him.
"What is this?"
Sun Mo was joyful. Could it be that he was lucky this time?
"It's just a clump of soil. It's considered an ordinary consolation reward to encourage you to come again next time."
"What kind of values are you talking about? Could it be that you think that I'll be as happy as snatching a discounted meal coupon just because I got a piece of soil? "
Sun Mo really wanted to curse in his heart. However, if it was really a discounted meal coupon, even if it was only a 20% discount, he would still be so happy that he would eat an egg for breakfast.
The system fell silent. Other than giving necessary explanations, it wouldn't talk nonsense with the host.
At the thought of food, Sun Mo felt a little hungry. Hence, he returned to the dormitory according to his memory.
The place where intern teachers stayed was arranged by the school. It wasn't far from the student dormitory area. Within three months, they could stay for free. In the past, they could stay for a full year, and as long as they ate their meals in the canteen, it would be free. However, the current economic situation of the Central Province Academy was very bad, and several benefits had been removed.
It was said that some of the annual benefits had become very bad. For this, the teachers couldn't help but complain privately.
The dormitory was built near the lake and was a five-story building. Sun Mo stayed in the second room on the east side of the third floor. When he returned, his three roommates hadn't slept yet.
Zhang Sheng, who was meditating cross-legged on the bed, opened his eyes. When he saw that it was Sun Mo who pushed the door open and entered, he closed his eyes again, revealing a hint of disdain.
"Yo, you're back?"
Ludi, who had a burly build and looked more like a blacksmith than a teacher, smiled and picked up the teapot at the side. "Do you want some water?"
"No thanks!"
When Sun Mo sat back on the bed, he recalled the memories of his three roommates.
All of them had graduated from the Songyang Academy. Zhang Sheng was arrogant, but his strength wasn't ordinary and he was the most confident. No matter who Ludi was talking to, he would always have a smile on his face and be very humble. As for the last one, the young man with a pair of frog eyes, his name was Yuan Feng.
"Did your fiancée give you any news? Let's hear it! "
Yuan Feng spoke, his voice was sharp and a little ear-piercing.
Sun Mo frowned slightly. When he first came to the Central Province Academy and knew that he was An Xinhui's fiancé, Yuan Feng's attitude had been very earnest and he even treated Sun Mo to a meal. However, as the others became teaching assistants and Sun Mo was thrown to the logistics department, Yuan Feng's attitude took a sharp turn for the worse.
The sarcasm in this sentence was greater than asking for insider information.
"Oh right, when are you going to return me the money from the previous time?"
Yuan Feng didn't have any intention of letting Sun Mo off. "Jinling City is flourishing and it's not easy to stay here for long. If I am recruited by the school, I'll have to consider renting a house. It'll be another huge expense."
Pak!
A tael of silver was tossed onto Yuan Feng's bed.
Yuan Feng's eyes brightened and he hurriedly grabbed it, biting it with his teeth.
Sun Mo checked his belongings. Other than three sets of clothes, two pairs of cloth shoes, a few novels, and a money pouch containing some silver fragments.
The cloth shoes were personally sewn by his mother, and the stitches were very dense.
"Your wooden blade isn't bad. Where did you buy it?"
Ludi sniffed and his gaze landed on the ebony wooden blade. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he felt a faint fragrance lingering around his nose.
"I picked it up!"
Sun Mo's words were concise and comprehensive.
This wooden blade came from the hands of a grandmaster craftsman from Liangzhou and took three years to polish. Even though it had been abandoned in the warehouse for tens of years and was covered in dust, there were still quite a lot of scratches on it.
"I'll pay 100 taels of silver. Sell it to me!"
Zhang Sheng's father was a landlord. His family had 1,000 mu of fertile land and didn't lack money.
"Even if you give me 1 million taels of gold, I won't sell it!"
Sun Mo felt a little unhappy. This Zhang Sheng's tone was asking for a beating.
"Hmph, fool. You've lost a chance to get rich."
Zhang Sheng closed his eyes. He was only curious and felt that this wooden blade wasn't bad. Now, it was impossible for him to pay another 100 taels of silver.
"Hehe!"
Sun Mo's lips twitched. (If I told you that this wooden blade has the Grand Universe Formless Divine Art inscribed on it, you'd probably sell your chrysanthemum to raise money to buy it.)
A peerless-grade saint-tier cultivation art. Let alone 1 million taels of gold, even if it was exchanged for so many spirit stones, it still wouldn't be enough to buy it.
"How's the work in the logistics department? Are you tired? In any case, being a teaching assistant is quite tiring. Now that I'm back, I feel like sleeping. "
Yuan Feng's words contained a hint of mockery and disdain.
"The last time we had a meal together, I spent a total of over 30 coins. Just treat it as my treat. Return the rest to me."
Sun Mo didn't plan on taking this loss. One tael of silver was worth 100 coins.
"I don't have any spare change now. I'll return it to you another day."
Yuan Feng found an excuse, but he was mocking Sun Mo in his heart. Because Sun Mo was An Xinhui's fiance, many people were unhappy with him. They felt that he was a toad that had eaten swan meat. Therefore, many people were looking for opportunities to make things difficult for him. Let alone being a teaching assistant, he wouldn't be able to stay in the logistics department for long.
Therefore, if he dragged things out for a few more days, when Sun Mo was fired, he wouldn't have to return the money.
Pak!
Sun Mo took two steps forward and arrived before the bed. He grabbed Yuan Feng's clothes and pulled him up.
"Give it to me, now!"
Sun Mo stared at Yuan Feng, his tone cold.
"Eh!"
Not only was Yuan Feng and Ludi stunned, but even Zhang Sheng at the side had a look of astonishment on his face. Why did this Sun Mo, who had an amicable personality, suddenly flip out?
"Let go!"
Yuan Feng regained his senses and was burning with anger. He had long since heard that Sun Mo had just stepped into the blood-ignition realm and was one level lower than him. Sun Mo was definitely not a match for him.
"Don't fight!"
Ludi jumped in fright and pounced over, standing between the two of them.
"Move aside!"
Yuan Feng didn't fall for this.
"We are still in the internship period. What if we are fired because of fighting?"
If it wasn't for the fact that the conflict had erupted in the dormitory and Ludi was worried that he would be implicated, he would be more than happy to see the two of them fight. If they were fired, he would have two fewer competitors.
No, there was only one. Sun Mo was too much of a scum. It was basically certain that he wouldn't be able to stay in the school anymore.
"If you want to fight, scram out!"
Zhang Sheng's countenance sank. He was also worried about this outcome.
Pak!
Sun Mo stretched out his hand and grabbed the money Yuan Feng was holding. "Come and ask me again when you have change."
"Do you really think that you can marry Headmaster An Xinhui?"
Yuan Feng mocked, "Let me tell you, you won't be able to eat a soft rice anymore."
"Is that so? That's still better than someone like you who can't even make a soft rice bowl. "
Sun Mo's lips curled, revealing a smile. It was as if the spring sun was pouring down, his white teeth dazzling everyone.
"This fellow has such a venomous tongue!"
Ludi sighed ruefully. He was really infuriated when he heard these words. So what if he was handsome?
"You... you..."
