“I really got to hand it to Sun Mo’s courage!”

  Gao Cheng exclaimed while clapping.

  It was a very troublesome thing to expel someone with Zhou Yong’s status. There were a lot of factors to consider. However, not only did Sun Mo do it, but he even did it in front of close to 10,000 teachers and students. He threw an Ignorant and Incompetent halo directly at Zhou Yong, turning him into an idiot.

  Humans lived with a face, while trees lived with their bark. Who didn’t want their face?

  Zhou Yong’s father was one of the wealthiest men in Jinling City. Thus, it was clear that such a great merchant family would highly value their face. Zhou Yuanzhi’s son could leave the school, but not in the form of expulsion. It was because such families mustn’t have any taints to their name.

  Moreover, these families had great power. Although they might not wish to offend An Xinhui or the Central Province Academy, it wouldn’t be an issue to take care of Sun Mo to vent their displeasure.

  “Sigh, there’s actually no need for this!”

  Du Xiao was worried for Sun Mo, but she now held even more respect for him. If she was in his shoes, she wouldn’t dare to do something like this.

  Ding!

  Favorable impression points from Du Xiao +25. Friendly (115/1,000).

  “That’s why, given the mentality you guys have, you’re destined to be the weak ones!”

  Jiang Yongnian teased as he clapped away.

  Gao Cheng pouted his lips, thinking, (I didn’t see you, the strong one, standing out to ensure justice is served.) On the matter of expelling Zhou Yong, it could be said that Sun Mo was a lot more courageous than most 1-star great teachers.

  Gao Cheng’s gaze was filled with envy as he looked at Sun Mo who was on the stage. He also wanted to become someone like him.

  Ding!

  Favorable impression points from Gao Cheng +30. Neutral (87/100).

  “The youngsters these days are really something!” Pan Yi sighed. Zhou Yuanzhi’s sponsorship was definitely a goner, and the school should be unable to pay out next year’s salaries as well. What should he do?

  “Sigh, I better think of an escape route!”

  Pan Yi then threw another glance toward the stage. He was very angry at Sun Mo, hating him for spoiling his idle days. However, as a teacher, he held a hint of admiration for him. After all, this was how great teachers should conduct themselves.

  “Teacher Yi, did you see that? Sun Mo didn’t give up! He is the envoy of justice!”

  Xia Yuan shot out. When Yi Jiamin had been sneering at Sun Mo, she was almost unable to hold it in. This Yi Jiamin always viewed himself as an elite. He was very arrogant and found everyone disagreeable. If he felt that it was something he couldn’t do, then other people wouldn’t be able to do it either.

  However, Sun Mo had used facts to give him a slap in the face. Not only had he expelled Zhou Yong, but he was even going to submit the documents to the Saint Gate and the government office, pursuing the evil deeds Zhou Yong had committed in the past.

  Yi Jiamin’s countenance instantly flushed up. Since Xia Yuan was a 1-star great teacher, he didn’t dare to act impetuously toward her. He could only leave, feeling frustrated.

  “Hmph, let’s wait and see. His good days have come to an end given that he has offended the Zhou Clan.”

  When Yi Jiamin was cursing, he felt a bit jealous at the same time. Why was he not the teacher standing on the stage and enjoying the cheers and applause from several thousand students?

  Regardless of when the revenge would come, Sun Mo was definitely famous now.

  “An Xinhui has made the right move. Her fiancé is something, and the Central Province Academy might really be able to turn the tables with him around!”

  Xia Yuan looked at Sun Mo, her gaze filled with admiration.

  Ding!

  Favorable impression points from Xia Yuan +30. Neutral (60/100).

  “Teacher Sun is amazing!” Qi Shengjia was too agitated. He jumped up onto Zhou Xu’s back, waving his arms and cheering loudly. The Zhou Yong who bullied others was finally going to scram.

  Ding!

  Favorable impression points from Qi Shengjia +100. Respect (1,052/10,000).

  The honest guy’s admiration for Sun Mo had gone off the chart. He felt that there wasn’t anything in this world that Sun Mo couldn’t accomplish.

  Both Zhou Xu and Wang Hao felt increasingly regretful after seeing the agitated students around them. It would have been great if they had entered under Sun Mo’s wings when they met him for the first time.

  To miss out on such an amazing teacher was really their greatest loss in three lifetimes.

  “This can’t do. My heart is aching a lot!”

  Zhou Xu felt very upset.

  “I’m the same. I feel that I can’t breathe.”

  Wang Hao lamented.

  The duo, who wore bitter expressions, contributed +100 favorable impression points.

  Sun Mo raised his left hand and pressed it down, indicating for everyone to be quiet.

  Therefore, the noisy auditorium became so quiet that it’d be possible to hear a needle drop. Such a great act made even a great teacher like Zhou Shanyi feel very envious.

  From today onward, Sun Mo’s status in the Central Province Academy was going to skyrocket.

  “Any student who had been bullied by Zhou Yong in the past can come and report to me. If he had extorted money from you or had beaten you up in the past, after you reported the case, I’ll be your representative to ask Zhou Yong’s father for compensation!”

  Sun Mo spoke up.

  “Teacher Sun is brilliant!”

  “All hail, Teacher Sun!”

  The students who had been bullied couldn’t hold it back anymore and started shouting.

  Sun Mo hadn’t finished his words. Left without a choice, he could only raise his hand again, indicating for everyone to keep quiet.

  Then, the auditorium fell silent once again.

  “Your mom is a prostitute! We’re all teachers, so why are you so outstanding?”

  Some teachers felt so jealous, especially those who were still in their internship. Their eyes had turned red from jealousy.

  “From today onward, the entire Central Province Academy will conduct strict investigations against bullying. If bullies are found and there’s sufficient evidence, then the individual will be punished with expulsion. For serious cases, we’ll propose to the Saint Gate to forbid them to transfer to other schools.”

  Sun Mo’s expression was solemn, his tone forceful.

  “Sun Mo, aren’t you saying things that exceed your authority?”

  A school leader was displeased. Such matters should be announced to the whole school after being discussed in a meeting. In this case, Sun Mo was taking matters into his own hands.

  “I agree to this!” said An Xinhui.

  This was her plan as well. She wanted to take this momentum to introduce a rectification movement in the school.

  “Headmaster An!”

  That leader frowned. (What do you mean by ‘you agree to it’? Are you going to take away everyone’s authority?) However, before he could raise his question, a cold bellow rang out.

  “Shut up!”

  Wang Su didn’t even throw a glance at this guy from the corners of his eyes. It was as if he was reproaching a wild dog at the roadside who was barking mindlessly. This attitude could be said to be treating others with contempt, but that leader didn’t even dare to say a word. He could only keep quiet and keep his fury to himself.

  He had no choice. This was the awe commanded by a 4-star great teacher!

  “Is there anything else that Headmaster An and Vice-headmaster Wang wish to add on?”

  Sun Mo didn’t mention Zhang Hanfu’s name at all, causing him to be half-driven to death from fury.

  “No!”

  Sun Mo was the lead on the stage today. An Xinhui wouldn’t steal his limelight.

  “No!”

  Wang Su smiled slightly. “I didn’t see wrongly, did I? Teacher Wang is smiling?” “He seems to admire Sun Mo a lot?” The school leaders were surprised. Wang Su was a perfectionist and it was far too difficult to get his recognition. Therefore, only a handful of teachers in the entire Central Province Academy could get a smile from him.

  “The school meeting will end here. You’re dismissed. All students, please leave in an orderly fashion from the lower grades to the senior grades to avoid any trampling incidents.”

  Sun Mo’s voice was clear and bright, giving others a very good feeling.

  When Wang Su heard this, he couldn’t help but nod. This was a good teacher who was meticulous, serious, and considerate.

  Sun Mo had just been through a battle, having just received the cheers and applause from the students. Right now, he should be feeling agitated, but he still managed to notice these small details.

  ‘A straw shows which way the wind blows.’ Sun Mo displayed his outstanding side unconsciously through these tiny details.

  An Xinhui looked at Sun Mo in surprise. Her childhood friend had already become so outstanding!

  She had been worried that the students would squeeze and push, causing an accident, and thus wanted to say something. However, Sun Mo didn’t give her a chance to do that at all. “Outstanding!”

  Gu Xiuxun gave a simple and straightforward assessment. It wasn’t a bad thing to have such a competitor in the same batch as her.

  Sun Mo stood on the stage, watching as the students left. At the same time, he heard the system’s notification ringing out by his ear.

  Ding!

  “Congratulations, you’ve received a total of 36,257 favorable impression points.”

  “There’s so much?”

  Sun Mo didn’t wear any expression on his face, but he was very surprised inside. “Are you sure you didn’t make a mistake? Getting over 30,000 in one go?”

  “Let me say this again, the system is and will never be wrong!”

  The system explained, “Zhou Yong has a horrible reputation as a school bully to the point where it has seriously affected the lives and learning experience in the Central Province Academy. This is like knowing that there’s a vicious dog pacing outside your house’s door, and you’d feel nervous every time you head out.

  “Getting rid of Zhou Yong is something beneficial to all the students in the school. Therefore, over two-third of the students feel thankful toward you, contributing favorable impression points!”

  Sun Mo understood now. Moreover, given that there were about 7,000 to 8,000 people but only 30,000 over favorable impression points were contributed, it wasn’t considered a lot. Most of them were contributed by the students who had been bullied or had witnessed Zhou Yong’s evil deeds.

  “Congratulations on punishing Zhou Yong and his underlings, protecting several thousand students and obtaining their recognition and respect, completing a great teacher feat. Rewarded with one great teacher emblem and a chance of drawing a prize from the fortune wheel.”

  Three new terms appeared, causing Sun Mo to be stunned.

  Thankfully, the system was very considerate, once again turning into the understanding elder sister that hadn’t appeared for a while, starting the explanation.

  “The great teacher feats refer to great matters that you’ve done where many people are implicated and you obtained several ten thousand favorable impression points as a result of that.”

  Sun Mo expressed that he understood. It was like how some people had done great deeds that were worthy of society’s recognition and the country’s commendation and thus could be referred to as heroes.

  What Sun Mo had done today had received the system’s recognition. It felt that Sun Mo’s actions were worthy of a great teacher. Therefore, he was rewarded.

  “The great teacher emblem is the system’s commendation of your performance!”

  A palm-sized pentagram flashing in golden light landed in front of Sun Mo.

  “What use does this have?” Sun Mo guessed, “Could it be some kind of peak-grade tool?” “No, it just looks good!”

  The system explained.

  Sun Mo’s lips twitched, having a strong urge to curse out ‘your mom is an xxx.’ Why did the system learn such superficial actions as well?

  This made Sun Mo recall the days when he was teaching in No.2 High School. When certificates were issued, he would always be one of the recipients. However, when material rewards were given out, he wouldn’t even get a chance of getting nominated.

  “Alright, that’s a lie. You don’t have enough right to find out the meaning behind the great teacher emblem. But this is definitely something good.”

  After saying that, the system changed the topic.

  “The fortune wheel, as its name suggests, is a lucky draw. There are prizes of 12 different grades on the wheel. You’ll get whichever one your spin lands on.”

  Sun Mo was very calm. (I have the papaya girl that can boost my luck. I’m not afraid of you! It’s a pity that I can’t get the papaya girl to help me pick. Otherwise, given her lucky physique, you’ll definitely be the one crying in the end.)

  “Explanation is over. Continuing with the announcements!”

  “Congratulations, you’ve obtained 30,000 favorable impression points in one go, completing the ‘big step on the great teacher path’. Rewarded with a mysterious big treasure chest. Please keep up the good work.”

  A big treasure chest that was shrouded in purple fog landed in front of Sun Mo, causing his eyes to turn green.

  This was good stuff. It was a peak-grade treasure chest that he could get a great teacher halo from!

  Sun Mo’s hands were a little raring to go.

  “Congratulations, you’ve obtained favorable impression points from at least 7,000 people in one go. Rewarded with a mysterious big treasure chest. Please keep up the good work and try to hit 10,000 people soon!”

  Another big treasure chest landed in front of Sun Mo like a beauty.

  “Why are you so generous today?”

  Sun Mo blinked. There couldn’t be any scheme, could there?

  “Host, you’ve completed a great teacher feat. These rewards are all normal rewards!”

  The system explained. Great teacher feats were a great deal. It’d be considered good if Sun Mo could be lucky enough to accomplish one of it in a year. Therefore, the rewards given by the system were all extremely good. “Congratulations, you’ve gotten rid of the group of school bullies, completing ‘school grounds cleansing’. Specially rewarded with five consecutive draws.”

  “All the treasure chests given for this reward are given randomly. You can get different prizes from great teacher halos to dark soil.”

  Excellent. As long as it was a matter of luck, then Sun Mo wouldn’t be afraid. With the lucky mascot, he could afford to do whatever he wished to.

  “Congratulations, you’ve obtained the admiration from ten teachers in one go, completing the ‘great teacher’s charm, I can subjugate teachers as well’. Rewarded with one gold treasure chest.”

  A big treasure chest that was flashing in golden light landed in front of Sun Mo. If it was in the past, he would feel so happy that his heart would palpitate. But right now, after receiving two mysterious big treasure chests in a row, as well as the fortune wheel and a chance to make five consecutive draws, he felt that he should remain calm.

  “I can’t act like a country bumpkin who hasn’t seen the world before!”

  Sun Mo tidied his clothes, but at the next second, he couldn’t hold it in and smiled.

  There was no helping it. Another gold treasure chest had come down like fairies scattering flowers. “Congratulation, you’ve fulfilled a ‘great teacher feat’, completing ‘my glory is the world’s glory’. Rewarded with one gold treasure chest.”

  The reward notifications finally stop ringing.

  “Are there more?” Sun Mo asked.

  “The rewards have all been issued. Please take note of the collection!” the system reminded.

  “Alright, you can take your leave.” Sun Mo was very satisfied. This was a season of harvest. Wouldn’t he earn a lot if something like this was to happen a few more times? But he understood that there wouldn’t be many chances for this to happen.

  School bullies like Zhou Yong were a minority. It only happened because the Central Province Academy was declining and no longer held any awe; otherwise, Zhou Yong wouldn’t dare to be so arrogant no matter how much guts he had.

  “Teacher?”

  A call drew Sun Mo back to his senses.

  Sun Mo turned and saw that a few students had already come over.

  “Teacher, Teacher, you’re so amazing!”

  Lu Zhiruo had wanted to pounce at Sun Mo, giving him an embrace. However, she was grabbed by her clothes and was unable to do that.

  “Be mindful of your image!”

  Li Ziqi reminded her. There were many teachers around. As a student, they should be constantly aware of their bearing and mustn’t bring embarrassment to their teacher.

  “Oh!”

  Lu Zhiruo quickly stood upright, leaving her hands hanging by both sides, wearing a serious and good girl expression. However, as she was too concerned about it, she started walking while moving one side of the arms and legs together.

  “Hmmm? Why do I feel uncomfortable?”

  The papaya girl felt perplexed and threw a pleading gaze toward her eldest martial sister.

  “Uhh!”

  Li Ziqi covered her eyes, not wanting to see this anymore.

  “Teacher, you’re this!”

  Xuanyuan Po gave him a thumbs up and then smacked his lips. “The only regret is that I didn’t get to smash that Zhou Yong’s head and let him see blood.”

  Ding! Favorable impression points from Xuanyuan Po +30. Friendly (261/1,000). “What’s there to see? What blood?”

  Li Ziqi glared at Xuanyuan Po. (There are many leaders of the school here. Can you keep your violent temper under control? It’s fine for you to be embarrassed, but you’ll let others think that Teacher didn’t do a good job in teaching us.)

  Tantai Yutang assessed Sun Mo curiously, not knowing if he had taken such great risks of offending Zhou Yong for the sake of gaining reputation or if he was really standing up for those students.

  Seeing that Xuanyuan Po only put a thumbs up, Lu Zhiruo was unhappy. She said while putting up two thumbs, “You’re wrong, Teacher is this.”

  Even with this, the papaya girl was still not satisfied. She then looked toward Li Ziqi and Tantai Yutang, her meaning was clear. (Quickly put your thumbs up!)

  Ding!

  Favorable impression points from Lu Zhiruo +100. Respect (1,093/10,000).

  The papaya girl admired Sun Mo far too much. This was how a perfect teacher was in her heart. Handsome, cool, talented, overwhelmingly powerful, constantly being considerate for students. For them, the teacher would dare to go up against all the bad guys.

  As long as she stayed by Teacher’s side, she would be able to get a tremendous sense of security.

  Some teachers had nothing to do and walked over, wanting to get to know Sun Mo. A teacher with such character was worthy of befriending

  However, everyone didn’t walk too many steps before coming to a stop. It was because Wang Su had taken great strides to pass by everyone and come over.

  “Teacher Sun, are you confident in resolving the predicament that the school will be facing?”

  Wang Su asked.

  “I do!”

  Sun Mo looked straight into Wang Su’s eyes, not avoiding eye contact. Hearing Sun Mo’s unhesitant reply, some teachers who knew the inside information couldn’t help but pout.

  (Such a big boast. It’s a sponsorship of one million taels. Where are you going to get that from? From selling your butt?)

  “Very good. I look forward to your performance!”

  Wang Su smiled. He put out his hand and patted Sun Mo on the shoulder.

  This scene caused all the teachers in the surroundings to drop their jaws. They thought that Wang Su would ask Sun Mo about his method to resolve the matter concerning this sponsorship. However, he didn’t do that. Instead, he chose to believe in Sun Mo’s words.

  My god, was Teacher Wang someone who trusted people so easily?

  And wasn’t his attitude too good?

  “Have you seen Teacher Wang smile before?”

  A teacher asked in a soft voice.

  “No!”

  The one who replied was a middle-aged teacher. He had worked in the Central Province Academy for 15 years and had seen Wang Su many times. But smile? Sorry, he hadn’t seen it even once.

  As a perfectionist, there were far too few teachers who could get Wang Su’s admiration and smile. Even An Xinhui received the cold treatment from him.

  “Teacher Sun, how’s your consideration of my previous proposal? Do you want to join my great teacher circle?”

  Teacher Wang brought up the matter again.

  His tone was calm as if it was just casual chat, but all the teachers around them were greatly astonished and couldn’t help but draw in a cold gasp.

  (Did I hear wrongly? That Wang Su, who is such a perfectionist that it’s a little perverse, is inviting Sun Mo? How much does he admire Sun Mo?)

  Gu Xiuxun who was in the crowd was stunned. Her lips then pouted. She originally thought of herself as Sun Mo’s competitor, but Wang Su’s words dealt a great blow to her pride.

  However, Sun Mo’s recent performance was really worthy of him having a 4-star great teacher win him over.

  Xia Yuan immediately looked toward An Xinhui, thinking, (Your fiancé is going to be snatched away. Aren’t you going to try to quickly think of a solution?)

  “Hmmm? What Teacher Wang said was ‘previous proposal’. Didn’t that mean that he had invited Sun Mo to join his great teacher circle previously? And he was rejected?”

  Some teachers came to a realization that Wang Su would only extend a second invitation when Sun Mo had rejected him in the past.

  “It can’t be true, right?”

  The teachers were perplexed. Who would reject the invitation of a 4-star great teacher? The next instant, they saw it with their own eyes.

  “Teacher Wang, I’m really sorry. I haven’t come to a decision yet. Can you give me a little more time?”

  Sun Mo actually wanted to refuse, but he could sense Wang Su’s sincerity. Therefore, if he were to refuse in front of so many people, it’d be damaging to Wang Su’s reputation. Therefore, he chose to be tactful about it.

  Sssss!

  The teachers drew in a cold gasp when they heard Sun Mo’s words, their eyes and mouth agape. They couldn’t understand. Why did he refuse?

  Wang Su’s invitation was very sincere

  With Zhou Yong being expelled and having to receive the investigation by the Saint Gate and government office, Zhou Yuanzhi would definitely seek revenge on behalf of his son.

  However, once Sun Mo joined Wang Su’s great teacher circle, it would mean that Wang Su had taken on the entire burden.

  This was an unspoken rule in the great teacher world. The leader of the great teacher circle had such responsibility. Therefore, everyone was very careful when picking out the members, not extending invitations easily. Great teachers also had a strong desire to join a powerful great teacher circle. This meant that they would have an additional assurance.

  Just as everyone felt envious that Sun Mo had such a great stroke of luck to receive Wang Su’s admiration, Sun Mo actually rejected his invitation?

  “Turns out that Sun Mo is an idiot!”

  Some teachers were struck by a realization. It was because there weren’t any other explanations other than this!

  “He isn’t an idiot. He just likes An Xinhui!”

  Xia Yuan chipped in.

  The teachers around immediately wore understanding expressions and then secretly assessed An Xinhui. It was true. If they were in his shoes, facing such a great beauty with such intellect and beauty, they’d want to curry up to her too!

  “It’s a pity!”

  Wang Su shook his head, turning to leave with a disappointed expression.

  After all, he was a 4-star great teacher and had class. It was already a display of his great generosity to have extended an invitation to Sun Mo twice.

  If he were to do it a third time, the members of the great teacher circle would have complaints.

  Wang Su could ignore his reputation, but he must consider the other members. Otherwise, people would wonder if they were so low to keep on extending invitations despite the other party not in agreement with it.

  “Hehe.”

  Li Ziqi revealed her teeth as she smiled, appearing composed, but was actually shouting out loudly in her heart.

  ‘My Teacher Sun is the number one in the world!’

  Ding.

  Favorable impression points from Li Ziqi +50. Friendly (810/1,000).

  A teacher’s face was filled with awkwardness and he was planning to leave secretly. Earlier on, he had been the one who said, ‘How could a proud person like Wang Su possibly admire a new teacher?’

  Right now, he was given a slap in the face. He was really scared that Sun Mo would hold onto this line to taunt him.

  “Sigh, why is the difference between people so great?”

  This teacher suddenly understood that even between new teachers, their influence would be different. At the very least, even though he had been in the Central Province Academy for ten years, Wang Su probably didn’t even remember his name, let alone extending an invitation to him.

  Sun Mo looked at the teachers who came over, feeling a little displeased. He didn’t like such socializing. Please, it was meaningless!

  (Can you guys quickly leave? I’m still waiting to open treasure chests and draw prizes. If you guys don’t leave, won’t you just be wasting my time?)

  Sun Mo was really anxious. It was because he felt that between the two mysterious big chests, he should be able to open up at least one great teacher halo, right?

  Chapter 176 Not Only Did I Not Go Bald, But I’ve Become Stronger!

  “Teacher Sun, you’re considered to have shot to fame in one battle. Not only the students, but some teachers hold great admiration for you as well!”

  Gu Xiuxun came over and stood next to An Xinhui, complimenting Sun Mo politely.

  Ding!

  Favorable impression points from Gu Xiuxun +20. Friendly (100/1,000).

  “I only did the things I should do.”

  She had already contributed favorable impression points, meaning that this praise was heartfelt. However, Sun Mo wasn’t surprised either. Just a moment ago, amongst the treasure chests rewarded by the system, there was one that was due to receiving the admiration from ten teachers.

  “Teacher Sun, you don’t need to feel any pressure about the funding problem. I’ll take care of it. You can just concentrate on teaching your lessons well!”

  An Xinhui smiled, revealing her white teeth and appearing very charming. She was worried that Sun Mo would feel stressed and thus came to console him.

  An Xinhui decided to take on this crisis by herself.

  “I don’t have time today, so let’s make it tomorrow. I’ll tell you how to get through this issue. Don’t worry, this is a small problem.”

  Sun Mo subconsciously raised his left wrist to check for the time, but he didn’t have a watch.

  This made him feel a little annoyed. It seemed that he needed to quickly earn a sum of money and buy a western pocket watch. However, he heard from Ziqi that the imports from the Western Country were all very expensive.

  (Should I sell spirit gathering potted plants or write the latter half of Journey to the West?)

  Sun Mo gave it some thought and then gave up on Journey to the West. He better relied on his own capabilities to earn money. He believed that selling shouldn’t be a problem, but if he wished to earn big bucks, he’d still have to rely on the giant medicine packet.

  Therefore, in this trip to the Darkness Continent, he must try to gather the unique medicinal herbs from there as much as possible.

  When Sun Mo’s mind was wandering away, the other teachers were a little stunned. It was because his words were too shocking.

  Zhou Yong had been expelled and the one million sponsorship was definitely gone. However, Sun Mo said that he had the means to earn it? It must be a joke, right?

  Although great teachers didn’t lack money, Sun Mo wasn’t a great teacher yet. Moreover, one million taels was too much.

  Was he really going to sell his butt? However, given Sun Mo’s looks, there’d definitely be many gays who liked him.

  “If there’s nothing else, then I’ll be making a move first.”

  Although Sun Mo sounded as if he was discussing things, he clearly didn’t give An Xinhui the right to decide. After saying that, he turned to leave. “Zhiruo, come with me for a moment!”

  “Oh!”

  The papaya girl immediately followed behind Sun Mo.

  Li Ziqi pouted, looking at Sun Mo in an aggrieved manner. (Why didn’t you let me go with you? Is it because I have small boobs? Hmph, from today onward, I’ll have an additional bowl of papaya porridge every night. I don’t believe that I won’t be able to let these two little sunny eggs become big apples.)

  The teachers were speechless. (An Xinhui clearly had things to say when she came over, but you just left like that.)

  (Damn it, do you know that people usually don’t even have a chance to talk to An Xinhui?)

  (Why is it that even when we’re all guys, you’re the only one who’s such a showoff?)

  (I really hope that An Xinhui will break off the engagement with you out of anger.)

  The duration of the school meeting wasn’t long, but it was noon now, just in time for lunch. Sun Mo knew that he was going to be a hot conversation topic this time around. If he were to head to the school canteen, people would definitely surround him. Therefore, he brought the papaya girl to a food stall outside the school.

  “What do you want to eat?”

  Sun Mo was thinking of feeding his lucky mascot first. Otherwise, if her stomach was empty, then it might affect the luck passed onto him.

  “Dumplings!”

  Lu Zhiruo smiled sweetly and grabbed onto Sun Mo’s arm, putting her pair of big papayas onto it.

  They were soft and felt very good to touch. It was an enjoyment to any guy, but Sun Mo pulled his arm out immediately. There was no helping it. He was worried that he’d commit a crime.

  The prowess of a childish face and huge boobs was comparable to a nuclear bomb. Even the rationality of a steeled gay could be destroyed.

  “Hmm?”

  Lu Zhiruo turned her head, making a soft nasal sound and blinking her big eyes as she looked at Sun Mo with a perplexed expression.

  (Why did you draw your arm away? Do I have a smell on me? That’s right. I was too tired after the morning training for the past few days and didn’t take a shower. I must smell.)

  Lu Zhiruo quietly slowed down to walk two steps behind Sun Mo. She then rapidly lowered her head to take a quick whiff of her arm. (Aiyah, there isn’t any smell! Then what was the reason?)

  Sun Mo was planning to touch the lucky mascot and start to open the treasure chest, but he raised his hand to find that there was no one there. He didn’t hear any sound of footsteps either and quickly turned back to take a look. “What are you doing? Come over quickly!” “Oh!”

  Lu Zhiruo ran over. The moment Sun Mo put his big hand on her head, her unsettled feelings instantly calmed down.

  The papaya girl squinted her eyes and rubbed her head in the direction Sun Mo was rubbing, like a cute and docile Siamese cat.

  “System, let’s start with one for warm-up. Open that golden treasure chest.”

  This time around, Sun Mo had learned to say the name of the treasure chest as well. He was afraid that the system would take things into its own hands and opened any random one.

  The treasure chest opened on his command with a light circling around, leaving behind a mahjong tile that was engraved with the word ‘ten’ on it.

  “Congratulations, you’ve obtained one time emblem!”

  Sun Mo pouted. Getting a time emblem from a gold treasure chest. This was considered a loss no matter how he thought about it. That mustn’t do. They should have their lunch first and fill up the lucky mascot’s stomach.

  Sun Mo couldn’t hold back the urge to open the treasure chests and brought Lu Zhiruo to a dumpling shop. After they had their fill he headed for the manor that Li Ziqi had bought while opening the treasure chests leisurely.

  “Continue to open the gold treasure chest!”

  Sun Mo instructed.

  The treasure chest opened. It was ancient whale oil, but there were a total of five bottles of them.

  Sun Mo’s lips twitched. It was neither good nor bad, so he’d just take this as killing the last bit of bad luck. He then took in a few deep breaths and adjusted his mental state.

  “This time around, open the mysterious big treasure chest!”

  Sun Mo placed his hand on Lu Zhiruo’s head, not moving it.

  The big treasure chest that was shrouded in purple light was opened. When the light dissipated, a silver-colored thin metal slab was left behind. It was only a few millimeters thick.

  “Congratulations, you’ve obtained one spirit rune design template. This template can allow you to plan, draw, and invent the spirit rune that you wish. It will be based on your design ideologies,” the system explained.

  “You aren’t kidding? This means that as long as I say it, this template will be able to design any spirit rune I want?” Sun Mo asked.

  “Yes!”

  After the system said that, it added, “You should read more books. Your comprehension abilities are really bad!”

  “F*ck your mom!”

  Sun Mo cursed. Forget it. This wasn’t the time for a quarrel. There was a big question in his heart. “Why can you do something like this?”

  “You’re making too much of a fuss. In the very beginning, weren’t spirit runes invented by humans? Since they can do that, of course I’ll be able to do it as well!”

  The system tone sounded as though Sun Mo was an idiot.

  “But……”

  Sun Mo thought. (Aren’t you a freaking artificial retard…… no, artificial intelligence? If it’s something you can do, then why would there be spirit rune masters?)

  Sun Mo had grasped one ancestor-grade and one to-be ancestor-grade spirit rune drawing techniques. Moreover, since he had been putting in hard work, he had grasped some mastery of the study of spirit runes now.

  Spirit runes had been invented by wise predecessors, but to reach this level, it must be either through many years of accumulated deliberation or through occasional appearances of great works.

  It was like when designing certain products, even if one had inspiration, they would still need to continue to draw, experiment, and make corrections incessantly. It was only then could they obtain the final product. But what was it that the system did?

  You only needed to bring up your idea and it’d be able to accomplish it, providing a spirit rune design.

  “You’re discriminating against the system?”

  The system cursed, “You damned racist!”

  Sun Mo was speechless. This hat was a little too big for him and he didn’t dare to take it.

  “Hmph, there are two types of people I detest the most in my life. One is a racist person, and the others are black-skinned people.”

  The system sounded like an envoy of justice. Very good, the truth was out. There’d definitely not be any black-skinned people who could get the Absolute Great Teacher System. However, this wasn’t the important point.

  “System, do you know? If such a design capability is real, then the hard work and pursuit of spirit rune grandmasters in Middle-Earth’s nine provinces would all be meaningless.”

  Sun Mo felt very aggrieved. Was this the difference between species?

  It was like how a genius had spent their entire lifetime, devoting hard work and finally becoming a pillar in physics, coming up with many brand new physics theories. However, they suddenly came to a realization that not only did artificial intelligence know more than them, but the latter also treated these theories as fundamental things like 1+1.

  What you viewed as a high-end domain was just superficial things to the AI.

  “If you know of my background, you won’t be asking such low-class questions.”

  The system explained.

  “What’s your background?”

  Sun Mo continued to ask.

  “No comment.”

  The system’s reply was decisive, not giving Sun Mo any room for his imagination to run.

  Sun Mo’s lips twitched. He had guessed that this would be the outcome, so he wasn’t disappointed.

  “Are you going to use this spirit rune design template?”

  The system asked.

  “Are you sure that you can design any spirit rune? Including spirit runes that don’t exist in this world?”

  Sun Mo needed to ascertain this.

  “Yes!”

  The system became impatient. “Are you done with your questions?”

  “Alright, keep the template aside for now!”

  Sun Mo wanted to give it a lot of thought first so that he could use this spirit rune design template efficiently. “Oh, right, is there anything that you aren’t good in?” “Mating!”

  The system’s reply was short and concise. “Cough cough!”

  Sun Mo almost choked to death on his own saliva. He didn’t expect that the system had replied to him seriously, and it was such an explosive answer.

  He must quickly touch the papaya girl’s head and suppress his shock.

  The second mysterious big chest was opened. After the light dissipated, an old-looking sheepskin parchment was left behind. It was still dripping, as if it had been taken out from the water.

  “Congratulations, you’ve obtained the spring water beauty elixir’s prescription. This prescription can allow you to make a mysterious medicine. When used in the bath water, it could help the user heal their wounds, regain their energy and vitality, recover from their injuries, and remove some simple ailments.”

  The system explained in detail, clearly not feeling assured of Sun Mo’s comprehension abilities.

  “Isn’t this recovery spring water?”

  Upon hearing this introduction, he knew that this was something similar to the recovery spring water that appeared in games. This was quite a valuable item and could be said to be even more useful than the giant medicine packet.

  “You can understand it that way!”

  The system was in agreement.

  “Put it away properly for me!”

  Sun Mo instructed solemnly. As for the medicinal herbs required, there was a high chance they could only be gotten from the Darkness Continent. It seemed that he’d have to save up a lot of money. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to afford them.

  What was next?

  A fortune wheel and a chance for five consecutive draws.

  After hesitating for a few minutes, he still chose the fortune wheel. As a series of seven-colored lights flashed, and a big wheel with a diameter of half a meter appeared before him.

  The wheel was divided into 12 sections, with 12 different images drawn on them, representing different prizes. In the center of the fortune wheel, there was a black needle. “The game is very simple. When you say start, the wheel will start to spin. When it stops, the image the needle points to will be the prize you receive.”

  The system introduced.

  Sun Mo nodded, indicating that he understood. He then looked at the rewards.

  One peerless-grade saint-tier cultivation art!

  One great teacher halo!

  One dark secret art!

  One big portion of dark soil!

  One ten-years time emblem!

  One Starmoon Fruit!

  One Diamond Fruit! Please try again next time! Ancient whale oil!

  One spirit rune design template!

  One mysterious fruit!

  One dark seed!

  “This ‘please try again next time’ can’t possibly mean that nothing is won, right?”

  Sun Mo was a little worried.

  “That’s right!”

  The system explained, “The fortune wheel, as its name suggests, is a game that competes on one’s luck. If your luck is good, you’ll get the best prize. If your luck is bad, then you won’t be able to get anything.”

  “Can I get someone to spin it on my behalf?”

  Sun Mo touched the papaya girl.

  “Leave the sleep talk to when you are sleeping!”

  The system felt like rolling its eyes. “Fortunately, I have the papaya girl. Otherwise, given my unlucky physique, I’d either get soil or ‘please try again next time’.”

  Sun Mo touched Lu Zhiruo again to quickly calm his heart.

  “Can you start?”

  The system urged. Sun Mo was really slow.

  “Hold on!”

  Sun Mo rubbed his hands together. In the list, the peerless-grade saint-tier cultivation art should be the best. The great teacher halo was a little worse off, being of the same value as the spirit rune design template. “Can you tell me what the mysterious fruit and dark seed are?”

  “You’ll find out after you win it.”

  The system refused.

  “I’m your host. Don’t I want some face as well?”

  Sun Mo was displeased. “Hmph!” The system said in a tsundere manner. “Can you be faster?”

  “Zhiruo, come, give me a hug!” Sun Mo hesitated for a moment but still decided to throw in a big move. After all, this would affect if the reward was good or bad.

  “Oh!”

  Lu Zhiruo was very docile, and she wasn’t repulsed against hugging Sun Mo either. She even felt a little bit of anticipation. She put out both arms and embraced Sun Mo.

  “Lucky mascot, please bless me with luck!”

  Sun Mo bellowed loudly in his heart. “Start!”

  The fortune wheel started to spin. Sun Mo didn’t let go of Lu Zhiruo. He opened his eyes wide and kept on thinking ‘saint-tier peerless-grade’ as he waited quietly. At a time like this, he must use any mysterious means he had.

  The wheel’s spin gradually slowed down. Every time the needle brushed past ‘please try again next time’, Sun Mo’s heart would skip a beat. He was scared that the needle would stop there.

  “Cultivation art!”

  “Cultivation art!”

  “Cultivation art, f*ck, the halo will do as well.”

  Watching as the black needle was now moving extremely slowly and could land on the halo, seed, whale oil, and soil, Sun Mo started to mumble non-stop.

  “If I manage to get a great teacher halo, I’ll eat vegetarian for a month!”

  At this moment, Sun Mo could no longer care about the pain of missing out on the peerless-grade saint-tier cultivation art.

  The black needle finally stopped, landing on the borders of the great teacher halo. It was really just a little bit away before sliding to the soil’s section!

  Ding!

  “Congratulations, you’ve obtained one great teacher halo!”

  As the system gave its congratulations, a skill book that was shining in golden light bounced out from the fortune wheel’s section and floated in front of Sun Mo.

  The big elegant words were written in seal script. Teacher for a Day, Father for Life!

  Seeing that it was actually this great teacher halo, Sun Mo’s regret of not having gotten the peerless-grade saint-tier cultivation art instantly dropped by a lot. There were a lot of great teacher halos in the great teacher world. Therefore, the Saint Gate distinguished them based on their comprehension difficulty, rarity, and prowess.

  Wide Learning and Retentive Memory as well as Priceless Advice were considered to be ‘Generic Halos’. Any great teacher would be able to comprehend them in three to four years.

  The Ignorant and Incompetent that Sun Mo grasped was just a bit better than Wide Learning and Retentive Memory, but it wasn’t rare either. As for Soul Imprint, it was unique to him.

  This Teacher for a Day, Father for Life was quite rare. Moreover, all the great teachers who had comprehended it were almost over 100 years old.

  In the great teacher world, people had discovered a pattern to comprehend great teacher halos. The more students they taught, the more great teacher halos they would comprehend.

  Great teacher halos were like a mental state, a feeling. If you hadn’t experienced them or felt them for yourself, you wouldn’t be able to comprehend them!

  Great teachers would often encounter situations in which they would reprimand, advise, or praise students. Therefore, they would be able to experience the required mental state and comprehend the Priceless Advice halo.

  Teacher for a Day, Father for Life.

  This was a punishing halo. Once performed, the great teacher’s prestige would increase enormously, dealing the students with tremendous awe and suppression.

  The impact given to the students would be like a small herbivorous animal encountering a lion king!

  This condition and mental state were basically something the great teachers who enjoyed high prestige and commanded great respect would be able to comprehend. And usually, these great teachers would be over seventy years old.

  Great teachers would feel that they were very amazing, being able to become the students’ ‘father’. However, this wasn’t enough. They must have the students’ sincere and heartfelt respect, being treated as their father!

  Many students didn’t show enough respect to their own father, let alone to a teacher. Hence, most of the great teachers would only be respected on the surface!

  Due to these reasons, this great teacher halo was also referred to jokingly as the Rest in Peace halo. It was because the great teachers who comprehended it would usually only have a few years left before they rested in peace forever.

  Sun Mo was very satisfied. This halo was considered quite rare and its relevance was also very high. He knew Ignorant and Incompetent, but he couldn’t possibly turn students into idiots all the time, right?

  If he used that for small mistakes, then the students might really complain to the Saint Gate. However, Teacher for a Day, Father for Life didn’t have this problem.

  It could be used at any time, and there wouldn’t be any harm dealt to the students. Moreover, the students would be subjugated by the great teacher pressure and be docile!

  “Teacher?”

  Lu Zhiruo blinked her eyes.

  “Cough cough!”

  Sun Mo let go of the papaya girl and couldn’t help but rub her head. His lucky mascot really didn’t disappoint him.

  “Note: The great teacher halos for sale in the shopping store have different prices due to the difference in their rarity. For example, this one that you’ve gotten is priced at 200,000 favorable impression points!” The system explained.

  Sun Mo was speechless. Turned out that he had won it big.

  “Of course you did. Otherwise, you’d be over 100 years old by the time you comprehend this halo!”

  The system urged, “Alright, there are still the final five consecutive draws. Quickly!”
