Class Teacher System

Chapter 128: Save the Brain dead lover (7)

Ren Zhu looked at the tasks numbered from 08000 onwards, for a moment finding it a bit overwhelming. However, after he browsed through these tasks one by one, his facial expression turned rather peculiar.

At this moment, he thought about not how much money these tasks could earn him in the future, but rather how these brats who posted the tasks managed to access the star network. Did their parents not know that they were posting these messages on the star network? The fact that they were putting up their own homework assignments for others to ghostwrite, tasks spanning from first grade to ninth grade, left Teacher Ren, as a Class teacher, unable to fathom what the future held for these children.

Starting from first grade and continuing to ninth grade, having others write their assignments, what beneficial skills or knowledge could they gain from this? Thinking about this, Ren Zhu felt quite thankful for the strict final exams in this world. Otherwise, where would these brats go after graduating? They might bring unavoidable losses to various industries — doctors might accidentally treat people to death, those making mechs could have them fall apart as soon as they’re built, and even those who majored in abilities might find themselves embarrassed when knocked down by a single blow on the battlefield.

So, as he reached the end, Teacher Ren let out a heavy sigh, expressing his heartfelt sorrow for these children. “The moral decline is truly shocking! How could the star network allow these tasks to be posted?”

If you were to observe Ren Zhu at this moment, you’d find it quite amusing — clearly, he was just a seven or eight-year-old kid, but his facial expression and words seemed just like those stubborn old scholars. Especially considering the three words “Class Teacher” on top of his head, anyone passing by might think this child’s brain wasn’t functioning properly or that he particularly admired his Class teacher.

Watching from the side for a while, Yi Xiao, though not hearing what Ren Zhu was saying, knew that this guy was likely feeling down. He quickly stepped forward and said to Ren Zhu, “Don’t overthink it. Isn’t making money the most important thing for you now? The assignments from first and second grade should be quite easy for you, right? You’re already in third grade. If you take on these tasks, you could earn a few hundred star coins a day at least. You should know that many high-grade students who can’t find jobs or those with poor family conditions take on these tasks. So, don’t be intimidated by the quantity of tasks. If you don’t take them on quickly, they’ll be snatched by others in two or three hours.”

Hearing this, Ren Zhu felt even more distressed. Were there really high-grade students specifically acting as proxies for others? Had their lives been driven to such a point? Once again, he sighed about the moral decline of society and, after some hesitation, eventually chose the task 09111. While the previous tasks were relatively simpler, he, as a Class teacher, absolutely couldn’t stoop to being a ghostwriter for someone else.

Task 09111, on the other hand, was quite interesting, fitting his role as a Class teacher. And while it seemed to be of a certain difficulty, it appealed to him. Challenging these high-level students was one of the few interests Ren Teacher had.

Since Yi Xiao was standing quite close to Ren Zhu, he noticed the task he had chosen. He raised an eyebrow, “You’re choosing this task? Be careful that you can complete it in the end. The person who posted this task has high demands. Look, there are two stars next to his name, indicating he’s a second-level adventurer. Considering his grade, he should be about your age. At this age, being a second-level adventurer is quite outstanding compared to your peers.”

Hearing this, Ren Zhu felt a bit reassured, “No wonder he’s asking for tutoring. Self-aware kids really are impressive! Unlike those brats who directly request ghostwriting.”

Yi Xiao’s lips twitched, “Your thoughts are really something else. Anyway, if you’re really interested in this task, I’ll go with you when the time comes. To prevent him from bullying you just because you’re younger or suddenly deciding he doesn’t like you and giving you a beating.”

Although Ren Zhu felt such a scenario was highly unlikely, he pondered for a moment and agreed. After all, it was his first time taking on a task, and having someone accompany him was quite reassuring.

Now that he had taken on the task, but there was no response yet from the other side, Ren Zhu followed Yi Xiao to the adventurer’s bar on Adventurer Street.

They registered at the entrance.

They entered the bar and saw the glamorous proprietress standing behind the splendid bar counter. This alluring proprietress was surprised to see Yi Xiao leading someone over, and a slight astonishment appeared on her face.

She playfully teased Yi Xiao, “I thought you were a naturally cold-faced, proud guy who wouldn’t deign to look at anyone with his nose, as if you despised everyone, and that you might never have friends in your life. But today, you brought someone who looks quite frail to vouch for access rights? Have you changed your ways or does this kid have some hidden traits I don’t know about?”

Yi Xiao’s response was to roll his eyes, tapping his slender fingers on the counter as he urged, “Enough with the chit-chat, grant him the access rights quickly.”

The alluring proprietress didn’t mind Yi Xiao’s indifferent reaction; on the contrary, she looked at Ren Zhu with curiosity and said, “Little brother, do you have any special talents? Tell big sister. If you have impressive talents, big sister can recommend tasks that suit you, and you can earn lots and lots of money!”

Ren Zhu looked at this glamorous woman treating him like a bean curd and fell silent for a moment, then raised his face and smiled, “No, thank you, auntie. I can manage my own affairs. Please grant me the access rights quickly. Thank you, auntie.”

As a result, the alluring proprietress’s smile froze on her face. She glanced at Ren Zhu’s smiling face and then at Yi Xiao next to him, who appeared indifferent but had eyes filled with glee. Suddenly, she let out a laugh, “I knew you, kid, couldn’t have found someone strong. Turns out, you’re a pushover! With this, you two are really a perfect match. Tsk tsk, fine, both of you, extend your hands. I’ll process the terminal connection rights for you.”

Listening to this, Ren Zhu obediently placed his hand on the counter, while Yi Xiao, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, slapped his hand on the counter and retorted, “Who’s a perfect match with him?! Auntie, don’t talk nonsense!”

The proprietress was already irked when Ren Zhu called her auntie, and now hearing Yi Xiao call her auntie, she immediately frowned and slapped Yi Xiao’s arm, “Child, if you can’t speak properly, then don’t speak at all! It’s better for you to maintain that impassive face, it’s more likable.”

“Alright, I’ve processed your rights. Disappear from my sight quickly. Nowadays, these kids are becoming more and more unlikeable. Clearly, they all look so good, it’s such a waste of your good looks.”

Ren Zhu smiled without saying a word, while Yi Xiao grabbed his hand and rushed outside the bar. As they walked, he said to Ren Zhu, “Don’t mind that aunty. She’s probably going through menopause. Did the task issuer contact you? If he doesn’t contact you today, you can go back and review the content of the task he mentioned. You’ll probably be able to explain it better tomorrow.”

Some sort of talent seemed to be triggered in Yi Xiao at this moment. He had just finished saying this when a red little bird carrying a letter flew in front of them. Ren Zhu was a bit surprised by this delivery method, but Yi Xiao just rolled his eyes. Opening the envelope, the message inside jumped out immediately:

【It’s currently 8:20. If you’re free, how about an hour of tutoring from 8:30 to 9:30 tonight? Of course, I’ll first listen to a ten-minute trial. If you don’t pass, I won’t pay you.】

Reading this message, Ren Zhu raised an eyebrow. With a thought, a reply automatically appeared on his hand:

【Sure, let’s meet somewhere quiet.】

So, at 8:30 in the evening, Ren Zhu brought Yi Xiao to the meeting place the task issuer mentioned — in front of the entrance to the Starry Sky Library.

The Starry Sky Library was one of the top three libraries on the Alliance Star Network. It was said to have over a hundred million electronic books, covering various aspects of knowledge from ancient times to the modern and even the Great Universe era.

In this library, you could find any book you wanted to read. Because of the Federation’s demand for talent and its highly humane requirements for knowledge dissemination, over half of the books in this library were available for free reading. Some rare ancient books and unique electronic editions required payment, but even those paid books were more of a formality; the value of the books far exceeded their cost.

So, as long as you were someone who wanted to learn, you could study through the Starry Sky Library. There was never a situation where help was unavailable. Even though the Federation was composed of ten technologically advanced planets, each with different races, all these races that had developed into the Great Universe era shared a very clear understanding — that everything’s progress relied on knowledge; knowledge was the ladder of human advancement.

And Ren Zhu, as a Class teacher who loved books, upon seeing the boundless expanse of the library’s interior, was filled with an inexplicable excitement. His eyes glittered with an irresistible light, as if he had come across some rare treasure.

Yi Xiao, watching his appearance, couldn’t help but lift the corner of his mouth; this person really loves books, as he suspected. After this thought flickered in his mind, he couldn’t help but pause. Why did he know for sure that this person liked books? He and Ren Zhu had only known each other for a day, yet it felt as if he knew this person’s preferences very clearly.

Shaking his head, Yi Xiao led Ren Zhu, who was lost in the sea of books, toward a small room within the numerous Starry Sky Reading Rooms in the library. This was the room the task issuer had given them. Almost infinite reading rooms could be created within the Starry Sky Library, but each room was numbered for easy use and navigation. Ren Zhu and Yi Xiao were headed to Starry Sky Reading Room number 666; the number seemed quite auspicious. After a quick thought, the door of Starry Sky Room 666 appeared before them. Excitedly, Ren Zhu pushed open the door and entered, finding a room adorned with starry patterns. On the deep blue sofa within the room sat a young man who appeared particularly uninhibited.

When Ren Zhu and Yi Xiao entered, the young man turned his head and, in the next second, furrowed his brows. “Could it be that you’ve taken my task?” His tone held a hint of displeasure, and his already somewhat fierce expression appeared even more ferocious. “I should have made it clear in the task that if you can’t teach well, I won’t pay. I thought the name indicated it might be a teacher, but it turns out two students have come?”

After he finished speaking, he cast an unhappy look at Yi Xiao, “Are you the one teaching me? Are you qualified? My time is valuable, and I need to learn the entire third unit of spiritual power usage. Can you cover it in an hour?”

Yi Xiao coldly sneered at this guy, who had an incredibly scrutinizing gaze. Despite spending over half an hour treating Ren Zhu with gentle words, even causing Zack to feel a bit horrified if he watched, Yi Xiao was absolutely ruthless and cruel like a gust of autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves when dealing with others. His gaze was sharp and disdainful, “If you want me to teach you, you’ll have to shell out at least a hundred million. But you don’t have that kind of face. Moreover, even if you have Ren Zhu teach you, you’ll still be making a huge profit. You should pay extra.”

The guy with the small braids was taken aback by his words, and once he reacted, he exploded in anger, “What do you mean by that? You actually look down on me! Are you looking for a fight?”

As he finished saying this, a row of sparkling red words appeared before him:

【Invincible invites you to a combat practice. Yes/No?】

Seeing this line of text, the guy with the small braids seemed like he was being choked, and his face grew redder and redder. Eventually, he slapped his hand and selected “Yes”! “Let’s fight then! I’m not afraid of anyone! In terms of combat, I’ve never lost a fight in my life!”

Yi Xiao sneered, “I’m sorry. Not only have I never lost a fight, I haven’t lost in my past life, or my previous life, or the life before that!”

Then, Ren Zhu could only silently watch as the two guys, who had come either for a tutoring session or to accompany him, immediately began fighting without saying anything related to tutoring. And the Starry Sky Library’s reading room turned into an arena at this very moment. Ren Zhu sat on the audience seat, his face expressionless.

Damn, two idiots.

Since Yi Invincible dared to name himself “Invincible,” his strength was undoubtedly unquestionable. Even if the opponent’s name, “Emperor of Power,” sounded a bit juvenile, he ended up being kicked and pummeled to the ground and thoroughly manhandled by Invincible Yi.

When Emperor of Power was knocked down by three moves, his face wore a bewildered expression. Even when he was later trampled and pummeled on the ground, he still didn’t react.

As the victor, Yi Xiao turned his head without expression (but actually in high spirits), wanting to show off his terrifying power to Little Bamboo. However, what he faced was Ren Zhu’s indifferent face and the virtual notebook in his hand.

Yi Xiaoxiao: Why does this ominous-looking little notebook even exist in the Star Network?!

Chills!
