If he hadn't seen it for himself, Li Gong might have thought that Sun Mo had taken advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to Xuanyuan Po. But what was the reality?
Qin Fen was also present at that time and confidently reported a bunch of dazzling records to prove his excellence. In the end, Xuanyuan Po still chose Sun Mo.
Li Gong could still remember how exasperated Qin Fen was after losing to Sun Mo. He looked like he wanted to eat Sun Mo up.
Was Xuanyuan Po a genius?
Li Gong couldn't tell, but he knew that Liu Mubai and Gu Xiuxun both wanted to recruit him. However, he ended up in Sun Mo's hands.
As a person of society and an old dog who had experienced many ups and downs, Li Gong didn't believe in luck. There must be a reason why Sun Mo could win against Qin Fen.
Next, Li Ziqi took the initiative to look for Sun Mo.
Li Gong had personally seen so many teachers vying for her. Let alone Liu Mubai and Gu Xiuxun, new teachers whom An Xinhui had high hopes for, even a few great teachers had come. However, Li Ziqi didn't waver at all and insisted on following Sun Mo.
Looking at Xu Shaoyuan returning in low spirits, Li Gong felt like laughing. (You great teachers are usually high and mighty. Now, you must have suffered a setback, right?)
However, after laughing, Li Gong's heart was replaced with respect and fear. One must know that Xu Shaoyuan was a 2-star great teacher. Even he wanted Li Ziqi. This meant that Li Ziqi was either overflowing with talent or came from an aristocratic family.
Regardless of which one it was, Sun Mo had profited.
Of course, he might also lose everything.
Not all great teachers were good people with high morals. For a student like Li Ziqi who even great teachers wanted, what would happen if she was recruited by others?
Of course, they would keep finding trouble with that great teacher. This trouble wasn't about fighting but finding fault with one's teaching ability.
If a teacher's capabilities weren't strong enough, they would gradually lose their confidence and even shut themselves off. They would feel that they couldn't teach their students well and take the initiative to terminate the teacher-student relationship.
There was no solution to it. If they failed too many times, how would they still have the face to be a teacher?
Li Gong had worked in the Central Province Academy for close to ten years and had seen such things a few times. Hence, great teachers not only had to recruit good students with good potential, but they also had to be able to protect them.
"Hmph, Sun Mo, don't be arrogant. Next is the true test for you."
Li Gong really wanted to see Sun Mo's miserable state after being struck by the Ignorant and Incompetent halo. However, at the thought of how miserable he had been the other day, he shuddered and quickly tossed this thought away.
Even if Sun Mo lost, he wasn't someone who could be mocked by people like him.
Thinking of this, Li Gong gloomily drank a cup of wine.
Ding.
Favorable impression points from Li Gong + 20
(Sun Mo's prestige connection with Li Gong isn't as bad as you guys say, right?) In order to compete for students, he even fought with Qin Fen. In the end, he won. "
A logistics worker questioned. He was present at the time.
"I've heard about it too, but it's said that after he won, the twin brothers immediately knelt down and asked him to be their master, but he rejected them?"
Chen Mu asked.
"It must be fake. If it were you, would you reject a student who wanted to be your teacher?"
Liu Tong was very confident.
"I won't."
Chen Mu shook his head. "I can't wait to worship them."
(So, you'll be a logistics worker your entire life, while Sun Mo is a teacher. Moreover, he has a high chance of becoming a great teacher.)
Li Gong mocked in his heart. He had seen that competition as well. In fact, he had even used some tools outside the classroom to peek at the process of Sun Mo using the Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands on the student called Zou An. It was simply too magnificent and magical.
If he was lucky enough to enjoy it, his lame leg would definitely be cured.
At the thought of this, Li Gong felt even more respect for Sun Mo. Just with this, it wouldn't be a problem for Sun Mo to have enough food and clothing in the Central Province Academy.
The only problem was that the vice-headmaster Zhang Hanfu would definitely destroy his reputation and chase him out of the school so that his son could marry An Xinhui.
Ding.
Favorable impression points from Li Gong + 20.
Due to Li Gong's prestige connection, the logistics workers discussed among themselves. The topic soon turned to women, talking about this female teacher and that female student. All sorts of dirty jokes were thrown around.
Usually, Li Gong would be the most excited. However, he wasn't in the mood today.
What kind of person was Sun Mo exactly?
Li Gong felt that his eyes, which had been trained in society for many years, could be considered to be able to understand many people. However, he was completely helpless toward Sun Mo.
Why did he reject the Zou brothers?
That was a young man who was listed in the information booklet and had the title of a genius. If Sun Mo looked down on them, why did he accept Jiang Leng?
After staying in the school for a long time, even Li Gong knew some basic techniques for selecting students. At the very least, he couldn't accept students who were covered in spirit runes because that meant that they had almost no potential for growth. He also couldn't accept students who were weak and sickly...
However, not only did Sun Mo recruit Jiang Leng, but he even went against Lian Zheng. Lian Zheng was a 1-star great teacher cum the year head. Li Gong would have to bow and greet him whenever he saw him, but Sun Mo didn't fear him at all.
Thinking of how he had even threatened Sun Mo, he felt that it was too ridiculous. In Sun Mo's eyes, he was probably even uglier than a clown.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Li Gong + 20.
Prestige connection with Li Gong. Friendly, Li Gong, let's drink! "
Chen Mu called out.
"Oh!"
Li Gong drank another cup of wine. After this student recruitment meet and seeing Sun Mo's performance, he was completely convinced. He decided to do things according to Sun Mo's plan. After his lame leg was cured, where wouldn't he be able to make a living?
Sun Mo was right. With a lame leg, he would be despised by the prostitutes even if he went to a brothel. If he were to change his posture for half a day, his leg would have turned soft long ago.
"Let me tell you guys, even if Sun Mo was officially employed, he wouldn't be able to stay here for more than a few days. Would Zhang Hanfu let him off? Would Liu Mubai let him off? "
Liu Tong rejoiced in Sun Mo's misfortune. "Who wouldn't want to marry someone like An Xinhui who has both fame, beauty, and status? Since Sun Mo is standing in front of her, he's destined to be kicked away. "
"Haha, it'd be best if he's kicked to death!"
"If it's Liu Mubai, he might be slightly worthy of Headmaster An. But who does Sun Mo think he is?"
"That's why I say that Sun Mo should be taught a good lesson. If he's a toad, he shouldn't think about eating swan meat."
The group of logistics workers laughed. An Xinhui's reputation in the Central Province Academy was extremely good. This was like seeing a female celebrity they liked announcing her engagement. Moreover, the man was someone with an extremely ordinary face.
"Kick Sun Mo away? Wouldn't that kick break his leg? "
Engineer Li mumbled.
Naturally, he didn't dare to say this out loud. As an old dog who had been through the ups and downs of society for a long time, he knew how to blend in. He had to smile on the surface and share the same views as the majority of people.
...
[Journey to the West] wasn't long, and Sun Mo didn't plan to give the entire manuscript to Old Man Zheng in one go. If Old Man Zheng didn't want to admit to it, Sun Mo had a backup plan.
It wasn't that Sun Mo didn't believe Old Man Zheng. It was just that he liked to leave a backup plan. Not letting himself fall into a crisis where he was at the end of his rope was one of his creeds.
After writing about staying at the Five Manor Monastery and secretly eating ginseng fruits, Sun Mo stopped writing. The school had already sent out a notice that there would be a meeting for intern teachers tomorrow.
For such a meeting, one mustn't be late.
However, not long after Sun Mo fell asleep, the system's notification rang out. He had received favorable impression points from Engineer Li.
"What the hell is going on?"
Sun Mo frowned.
"Engineer Li has developed a sense of reverence toward you. Hence, favorable impression points have been generated!"
The system explained.
"Can we be a little more humane? I just fell asleep! I won't face such a situation often in the future, right? If that's the case, I'll definitely die prematurely! "
Sun Mo was speechless. (Also, Engineer Li, you are a guy, alright? Can't you think of a girl before you sleep? What's the meaning of reverence toward me?)
The system fell silent, not wanting to talk nonsense with Sun Mo.
Sun Mo lay down. But a few minutes later, the system's notification rang out again.
20 favorable impression points was a lot. It was like picking up 100 yuan for free while walking in broad daylight. However, Sun Mo didn't feel happy. He got up and poured himself a cup of water. As he drank, he pondered. What situation was it exactly that made Engineer Li contribute so many favorable impression points?
Was there a conspiracy in this?
Not long later, the notification rang out again. This was especially so for the word 'friendly'. It was especially pleasing to the ear.
"Hehe!"
Sun Mo didn't know what to say. Even though he was very happy to receive favorable impression points, he still felt uncomfortable when he thought of how a man didn't sleep at night and only thought of him.
How good would it be if it was a big-breasted girl?
Ding!
"Congratulations, your prestige connection with Engineer Li has risen to 'friendly'. Reward: 1x black-iron treasure chest. Please continue to work hard!"
A pitch-black treasure chest immediately appeared before him.
"Keep it!"
Lu Zhiruo, who could increase his luck, wasn't by his side. This unlucky Sun Mo didn't dare to open the treasure chest. Otherwise, it would be no different from throwing a meat bun at a dog.
After waiting for another half an hour, the notification finally stopped. However, Sun Mo couldn't fall asleep at all. He had no choice but to flip open the [100 Alchemy Secret Art] and continue to study it.
If one wanted to become a 1-star great teacher, other than grasping three great teacher halos, they also had to be proficient in a secondary occupation. That original body of his had researched alchemy in the past, so Sun Mo decided to learn this subject.
...
The morning wind was cool and refreshing.
Sun Mo woke up early as usual and cultivated the Grand Universe Formless Divine Art. After eating breakfast, he headed to the teaching building. At 8 am, the intern teachers' meeting would begin.
Sun Mo arrived 15 minutes earlier, but when he arrived at the lecture hall, he discovered that close to 200 intern teachers had already arrived. It seemed that everyone wanted to leave a good impression of punctuality in front of the school's leaders.
Gu Xiuxun was talking to some teachers. When she saw Sun Mo entering, she immediately cast a glance over. The others also noticed Sun Mo. Hence, the sounds of conversation instantly became softer.
Everyone's gazes turned toward Sun Mo in unison.
"That's Sun Mo?"
As An Xinhui's fiance and the only intern teacher who had been tossed to the logistics department, there were quite a number of people who hadn't seen Sun Mo before. However, there was almost no one who hadn't heard of his name before.
Sun Mo couldn't be bothered to continue walking forward. He casually found a seat in the last row and sat down.
Because there were too many people, the office couldn't fit everyone. Hence, they could only come to the lecture hall for the meeting.
"His attitude is so calm!"
Some intern teachers were surprised. If they were the ones being stared at by so many people, they'd definitely be so nervous that they wouldn't know what to do.
"Tsk, don't look at how calm he appears on the surface. He must be panicking like a dog in his heart!"
Someone looked down on him.
