Bang!
A large bowl smashed heavily onto the table in front of Sun Mo. There was nothing inside.
"Sir, are you making fun of me?"
The fat boss, who was dressed in coarse hemp clothes, held onto a kitchen knife and glared at Sun Mo with a ferocious expression.
"What the hell am I?"
Sun Mo had a dumbfounded look on his face. (Besides, there's no problem with me wanting a bowl of meat to eat, right?) "Shopkeeper, you might have misunderstood. I will pay according to the price of the meat!"
To put it in a more elegant manner, Sun Mo was touched by the scene. To put it in a more vulgar manner, he was just being pretentious. He didn't have the thought of eating meat and was purely venting his emotions.
"Although this noodle shop is small and shabby, it is known for its chewiness and quantity of noodles. When the neighbors are tired from work, they all love to come here to eat a bowl of noodles and feel that the day's tiredness is gone. You only want meat and not noodles. If you're not here to destroy my shop's reputation, then what are you?"
The kitchen knife in the owner's hand was obviously used to cut pork, and the oil was glistening.
"You've misunderstood. I'm just hungry and want to eat meat. I'll pay you ten times the price of noodles, okay?"
Sun Mo was helpless. He took out a golden leaf and placed it on the table.
This was something Li Ziqi had prepared for Sun Mo. It was easy to carry, not heavy, and was worth a lot of money.
The eyes of the few idlers at the side immediately lit up, and they stopped eating the fennel beans.
Seeing this, the constable placed his hand on the hilt of his knife. However, his mouth continued to slurp down the noodle soup.
"Put away your golden leaf. You want to eat meat? Let's go to the pork shop next door. I've cut up all the minced meat from the fat and lean ones. I'll make buns for you to fill your stomach! "
The boss's tone was unfriendly.
In this era, sincerity was the key to doing business. If he dared to sell beef noodles today, his reputation as a scammer would spread to the west of the city by nightfall.
"May I ask if the owner of the pork shop is surnamed Zheng? He has a nickname called Zhen Guanxi? "
Sun Mo clasped his hands.
"What Zhen Guanxi? Suppressing things? He's a butcher, and his surname is Zheng, but how can a butcher like him have such a powerful nickname? "
The boss was unhappy.
The eyes of the few idlers at the side lit up when they heard this. This nickname was so bright, why not use it themselves? They would definitely be able to make a name for themselves.
The constable's brows furrowed tightly. Could that butcher of pork be some great villain who concealed his identity? Hmph, I knew there was something wrong with him. I really have to check it out!
"Not bad!"
Sun Mo heaved a sigh of relief. The situation didn't turn into Great Teacher Sun punching Zhen Guanxi. However, he didn't know that his casual joke had helped the constables solve the case of a young girl's disappearance half a year ago.
"Give me ten plates of beef, a plate of cold bamboo shoots, and a catty of green bamboo leaves."
A somewhat skinny middle-aged man sat opposite Sun Mo. "Give me two more bowls of noodles."
The shopkeeper didn't dare to act rashly. Although this middle-aged man was dressed in ordinary clothes, he had an indescribable scholarly temperament. One look and one could tell that he was an expert.
"The money for the meal is here!"
The middle-aged man pointed at the golden leaf on the table. "Also, he's a great teacher!"
The last sentence was naturally referring to Sun Mo.
The shopkeeper's heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously glanced at Sun Mo. (Speaking of which, this pretty boy does have the demeanor of a great teacher.)
"Esteemed guests, please wait a moment!"
The shopkeeper went to the stove and busied himself.
Sun Mo suppressed the urge to activate Divine Sight and observe the other party's data. This middle-aged man didn't seem simple at first glance.
"Let me introduce myself. This lowly one is Bai Wenzhang!"
The middle-aged man spoke and clasped his hands.
Upon hearing this name, if it wasn't for the fact that Sun Mo did his best to control himself, his brows would furrow into a ball. Bai Wenzhang? Wasn't he Jiang Leng's previous headmaster?
"Jiang Leng was my student three years ago!"
Bai Wenzhang spoke bluntly.
"Sir, do you have any guidance for me?"
Sun Mo's gaze turned unfriendly. He didn't have a good impression of this fellow who used students for experiments. Moreover, he casually discarded the experiments after they were done.
Bai Wenzhang didn't care about Sun Mo's hostility. He took out a palm-sized limestone board that was as thick as a bamboo board and placed it before Sun Mo.
"Please guide me!"
Bai Wenzhang had always done things like this. He was too busy and didn't have much time. Hence, he had always been straightforward. Explain his actions?
That didn't exist!
Sun Mo looked at the limestone board. Honestly speaking, he didn't want to bother with this fellow. But after taking a glance at it, he couldn't bear to shift his gaze away.
On the limestone board, there was a complicated spirit rune. It looked ordinary, but it was like a world-class mathematical problem. To any mathematician, it had a fatal attraction.
The spirit rune on this limestone board had such charm. Sun Mo believed that any spirit rune master who saw it would thirst to unravel its secret.
Bai Wenzhang nodded in satisfaction. Sun Mo had passed the first round.
When an expert made a move, one would know if they were real or not.
If Sun Mo was baffled when he saw this spirit rune, it meant that his attainments in the study of spirit runes were merely so-so. If he was infatuated and knew how to admire the beauty of this spirit rune, it meant that he had an extremely great interest in the study of spirit runes.
As for his potential?
Bai Wenzhang wasn't someone who only valued talent. He felt that interest was more important than talent.
The boss carried a plate over, but when he saw Sun Mo who was in deep contemplation, he felt a sense of humility in his heart. He basically didn't dare to go over to serve Li Ziqi.
Because he felt that disturbing Sun Mo would be an extremely great sin.
"He must be solving a difficult problem!"
If earlier, the boss still had some doubts about the middle-aged man saying that Sun Mo was a great teacher, he completely believed it now.
If he wasn't a great teacher, how could he be so immersed in contemplation?
Honestly speaking, people who were in deep contemplation would emit an aura that even they didn't know about. At this moment, the few idlers who were chatting and bragging involuntarily lowered their voices.
"15 minutes are up!"
Bai Wenzhang's finger tapped on the slightly greasy table and suddenly stopped. After that, he spoke, "These spirit rune paths have already overlapped with each other, but why aren't they interfering with each other?"
Everyone knew that a complete spirit rune path formed a pathway. Once they overlapped, it meant that the spirit rune paths would change and the diagram would change. Naturally, it wouldn't be effective.
Sun Mo actually didn't want to answer. (Why should I be tested by you?) But when he thought of how this fellow was the headmaster of the Dragon Spirit Academy and had very high attainments in the study of spirit runes …
Naturally, the most important thing was that this fellow was once Jiang Leng's teacher. Sun Mo felt a sense of reluctance in his heart.
"It's because of the spirit rune ink!"
Sun Mo replied.
Although the color of the spirit runes on the limestone slab was the same, they were definitely not drawn with the same ink. Hence, although they appeared to overlap, they weren't actually connected.
Bai Wenzhang nodded and asked again, "How many effects can it activate?"
"I saw four!"
Sun Mo felt a little depressed. He knew that he definitely hadn't seen everything, but this was already his standard.
When Bai Wenzhang heard this, his expressionless face revealed a look of surprise for the first time.
Just 15 minutes and he could see four effects?
His aptitude was extraordinary!
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Bai Wenzhang + 50. Neutral (60/100).
"Hehe, how stingy!"
Sun Mo mocked himself in his heart.
"Don't think that it's just 50 points. Think about his identity. He is an ancestor-level character in the spirit rune world!"
The system reminded.
"It's five and a half. Because this spirit rune is incomplete, it's understandable that you can't see the 'half'. This is..."
Bai Wenzhang explained because Sun Mo was too outstanding. He wanted to give Sun Mo some pointers. After all, Bai Wenzhang was also a great teacher and had the hobby of teaching and educating people.
If not, if he encountered a fool, let alone speaking, Bai Wenzhang wouldn't even bother to glance at him.
"It's buoyancy!"
Sun Mo continued, "Oh, it's a type of energy that can allow people to leave the ground!"
Bai Wenzhang was stumped and subconsciously glanced at Sun Mo. This was the part that he felt was the most difficult because the current spirit rune world definitely didn't have such a concept.
But this Black Doggy Sun actually managed to see through it?
How impressive!
Moreover, the word 'buoyancy' was very vivid and vivid. He could use it!
Hence, Bai Wenzhang pointed again. "This..."
"This is the weight-reduction effect. It can make one's body lighter."
Sun Mo replied.
"..."
Bai Wenzhang glanced at Sun Mo and chortled. After that, he moved his finger and placed it on a spirit rune line in the shape of a 'string'. "This..."
"This is the one that increases one's speed."
Sun Mo replied without any hesitation.
"..."
Other than being interested in the study of spirit runes, Bai Wenzhang had never had any desires. In fact, it was very rare for him to get angry. But today, he wanted to grab this limestone board and smash it on Sun Mo's head.
The kind that would cause blood to flow.
(Can you stop answering?)
(Don't I want face?)
Bai Wenzhang suddenly discovered that it was so f * cking difficult to be a teacher for a good student, no, an extremely good student.
"Continue!"
Seeing that Bai Wenzhang's finger didn't move, Sun Mo urged.
"This..."
Bai Wenzhang's finger slid on a string in the shape of an '8'. After that, he paused and discovered that Sun Mo's expression was heavy. After that, a gratified smile appeared on his face. After that, he explained, "This is the effect of wind resistance!"
"Wind resistance? I thought that it was buoyancy. "
Sun Mo pondered.
When Bai Wenzhang heard this, he frowned and looked at the limestone board again. Indeed, the differentiation between wind resistance and buoyancy was something he concluded himself. But if one wanted to look at the effect, wind resistance and buoyancy were actually the same. They were used to allow people to float.
Wait a minute, didn't this mean that Sun Mo had also seen through the effect of this spirit rune? It was just that he had mistakenly thought that it was the same as buoyancy?
Bai Wenzhang suddenly felt a toothache. He was angry because none of his assistants could decipher it to Sun Mo's level within 15 minutes.
"Luckily, I still have an outstanding personal student. If not, I would really be angered to death by them."
Bai Wenzhang smiled and raised the third question. "What do you think of this spirit rune diagram?"
"I want to correct you. This isn't a single spirit rune but four. Oh, according to your differentiation, it should be five!"
After Sun Mo spoke, he heard the system notification.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Bai Wenzhang + 200. Friendly (260/1,000).
Bai Wenzhang looked at Sun Mo with shock in his eyes. His purpose of asking this question was to test if Sun Mo could tell that this was five spirit runes. He didn't expect Sun Mo to be able to see through it with a single sentence.
This... wasn't this a little too strong?
The shop owner held the plate and stared at the cold dishes on it. He felt a headache. (Should I go over? Or not?)
However, if he went over to serve the dishes and delayed the great teachers from enjoying their meal, it would be a sin. But if he went over? Please, these two great teachers were clearly discussing something. If he disturbed them, wouldn't that be a crime deserving of death?
"Dean Bai, who is commonly known as the deadface, is actually shocked? The Starlord would surely not believe this! "
Yao Guang squatted not far away and was eating tanghulu. She looked at Sun Mo in the noodle shop with overflowing interest. One couldn't help but say that this fellow was truly handsome!
