Chapter 379: Returning favors (second update)
Zi Jiuxian really didn't know why her great-grandmother made such a decision.
But her grandmother's status in her heart was too high, even though the old lady had always been very cold to others. After she awakened, she originally planned to practice step by step according to the official exercises.
But her mother came over with a set of exercises and said with disdain, "We don't practice those mass-market practices."
Zi Jiuxian felt that her mother's reaction was a bit wrong: You are just transforming warriors, do you really understand how to cultivate a warrior with supernatural powers?
Moreover, what I awakened is a very rare sand attribute, and there are not many suitable techniques for practicing it. However, my mother said very calmly: This is prepared by your great-grandmother for you, please do not spread it outside!
Zi Jiuxian only knew that her great-grandmother was A-level, but for most supernatural warriors, A-level was the top.
Facts have proved that what Grandma heard was true. Her cultivation speed is much faster than that of geniuses with five attributes.
When she advanced to B-level at the age of twenty-five, the official even sent an A-level to investigate. The cultivation speed of mutation attributes is generally a little slower than that of the Five Elements, and the sand attribute is... exceptionally slow. At this time, Zi Jiuxian had realized how magical the skills he practiced were.
So she followed her mother's instructions and said that she practiced step by step, no different from others. The investigator was very dissatisfied and even threatened her, saying that if she didn't tell the truth, the consequences might be serious. But later, the matter finally came to nothing.
The A-level person in charge later found her quietly and explained that he was just going through the motions and had no other intentions.
Of course, he is A-level after all, so he won't speak too lowly, but if he can take the initiative to come to him, it speaks volumes.
Zi Jiuxian wanted to thank her grandma, but my mother said no—she didn’t tell you, so just pretend you don’t know. Many times she felt that her great-grandmother...maybe not just the A-level warrior she seemed on the surface. Now the old lady asked her to give the skills to a reformed warrior, which made her particularly puzzled.
In fact, she also heard some rumors and could vaguely guess that pandas should be more than just transformed warriors. But facing this temporary worker who holds a book and reads all day long, she doesn't feel like a big shot.
As a result, the other party's answer now turned out to be cloudy and foggy.
She looked at him blankly, but found that the young temporary foreman lowered his head and continued reading.
The female professor pondered for a moment and finally spoke again, "You are so interested in books, do you want to see the library of Green Water College?"
"Ah?" Qu Jianlei raised his head after hearing this, and was stunned for a moment before answering, "Can I go?" Zi Jiuxian nodded, "Our library is not open to the public, but I can take you there."
Qu Jianlei pondered for a moment and then asked, "Can all books be read? If there are level restrictions... that doesn't mean much."
Zi Jiuxian thought for a moment and asked, "In this library, can you read the books in Gubenlou?"
Qu Jianlei nodded without explaining - Mrs. Jia agreed to him, but asked him to keep quiet. The female professor is in a bit of a dilemma. She has very high authority in the college, but some books are still out of reach.
If she brings this outsider in, her authority will only become lower, not higher.
But in the end, she said, "You can talk about the level. At least you can see the catalog of all the books in the collection."
At this point, she blinked and said, "If you really want to read it, you should be able to find someone to borrow the book for you, right?"
If your great-grandmother is willing to help you, borrowing books will be much easier—she is more respectable than me.
Qu Jianlei also blinked, and then laughed, "Okay, thank you very much...when?" "I have something to do tomorrow, early in the morning the day after tomorrow," Zi Jiuxian replied thoughtfully, "Bibliography There are quite a few, so time will be tight if you go in the afternoon.”
"Okay," Qu Jianlei nodded, "Do I need to make any preparations?"
"No need," Zi Jiuxian waved her hand, "When you get to the school gate, call my watch." Qu Jianlei nodded and spoke naturally, "If I don't have your number, give me one."
"Let me call you," Zi Jiuxian called the other party with her watch, then turned and left. Qu Jianlei never thought about it
, why does a female professor have her own watch number?
Anyway, he registered his contact information when he joined the company, so it’s normal for the other party to know about it, right? But someone looked uncomfortable. The next moment, a graceful figure appeared in front of him.
"You have to be confident in asking for your number, but someone else has written down your watch. You're a thoughtful person." Qu Jianlei glanced at the other party, "Did you... bring money today?"
The person who came was none other than Xiangxue, who said the day before yesterday that she would use money to repay her life-saving grace. But Qu Jianlei asked such a straightforward question, no one else could.
"I brought it," Xiangxue replied directly, then took out a box and put it on the table, "Have you seen enough?"
"Let's take a look," Qu Jianlei casually put the box aside.
He really has no hope for this reward - it doesn't matter if the other party doesn't give it, so why should he care?
However, his action made Xiangxue angry - my life is so insignificant in your eyes?
She couldn't help but cough slightly, "How about you take a look? There will be a surprise."
Qu Jianlei was originally in charge of everything. When he heard the word "surprise", he opened the box and took a look.
Sure enough, there was a surprise. There were five A-grade crystals and a stack of banknotes with a face value of five thousand, which should be half a million.
In Xiangxue's concept, five crystals are worth half a million, so this is a one million thank you gift, at least it can be used.
"Five crystals," Qu Jianlei's lips curled up slightly, "Actually, just the crystals are enough."
In his mind, an A-grade one should cost 200,000 yuan - no way, that's how he purchased it. There is more than one person who has sold crystals to him at a reasonable price, but he does not think that the value should be measured in this way.
Under normal circumstances, his purchase price is two hundred thousand.
As for the abnormal situation...it is no longer normal. Is there any reference for the price? He also robbed the canyon warehouse and killed people to seize treasures...can it be calculated based on this?
After all, Qu Jianlei is a very particular person at heart, and he will not take others' kindness to him for granted. That's all. To put it simply, he thinks five crystals are enough - this is one million.
Xiangxue smiled slightly, "I also heard that you need crystallization. Since you like it so much, I will give you some later."
"No need," Qu Jianlei said simply, waving his hand.
"I know your life is valuable, but I only grabbed a handful of it, so why do you have the nerve to ask for more?"
However, Xiangxue also had her reasons, "It's really easy to pull something, but knowing when to pull it is the most important thing."
Qu Jianlei was stunned for a moment and then laughed, "Interesting, okay, I guess you are right, but these are enough."
"The main reason is that I can't come up with too many A-levels at the moment," Xiangxue explained casually. Then she asked aloud, "The day after tomorrow, what did you make an appointment with that woman for?"
Qu Jianlei felt that there was nothing he couldn't say, "Go visit the library of Green Water College and see how it is different from the old city."
Xiangxue was shocked when she heard this, "Are you really going to stick with this job?"
She knows the panda's cultivation, and she is obsessed with this job with a monthly salary of only 400 yuan... Why are you crazy?
Qu Jianlei smiled nonchalantly, "You do what you do and love what you do... Do you understand the origin of the gunman?"
"I'm a little confused," Xiangxue replied in a deep voice, "I'm not from Hope Star Territory... Are you changing the subject?" "Then I won't ask," Qu Jianlei simply lowered his head and continued to flip through the book. look.
"You..." Xiangxue was also a little confused by his hot and cold mood. Finally, she stamped her foot, turned around and walked away angrily, "I'll go get the crystals."
Mrs. Jia did not come over that day to continue the brainstorming, but the next afternoon, the old lady came again. She didn't give up thinking, but systematically sorted it out and prepared a lot of questions.
From her questions, Qu Jianlei could vaguely sense that the old lady might really want to independently improve the practice of sand attributes.
He welcomed this. Most of the time, he didn't like to be self-conscious, and he could improve himself by communicating with the old lady.
that day
The two didn't communicate for long in the afternoon.
Mrs. Jia seems to want to draw up a framework first and does not have high requirements for details for the time being.
Obviously, she had the intention of fighting a protracted war, starting with the structure and chipping away at the difficulties bit by bit.
Qu Jianlei was not surprised, but felt that the old lady did things in a systematic way - this kind of thing should not be rushed in the first place.
When it was time to get off work, Mrs. Jia did not forget to remind him before leaving: Remember to go to Green Water College tomorrow.
The old lady looked goose-skinned, but she actually understood better than anyone else, "As long as I promise, you don't have to ask for leave."
During this period of time, Qu Jianlei also learned a lot of bad habits. Whenever something happened, he would just close the borrowing channel without hesitation.
This is how others operate, but if he doesn't do this, he will be a different kind of person, which is not conducive to his integration into the imperial society. Early the next morning, he arrived at Green Water College.
The college is not far from the Old City Library, less than twenty minutes' drive. However, it actually took more than twenty minutes to get from the school gate to the library.
Cars cannot drive too fast on campus. This is one reason, but the more important reason is: the college is too big!
The entire college covers an area of more than twenty square kilometers, nearly half of which is virgin forest.
It's just that the virgin forest here is basically a castrated version without a complete ecosystem, it's just a virgin forest.
The library is far away from the virgin forest, and the surrounding area is clean and tidy with pleasant scenery.
Qu Jianlei came a little early, and the library hadn't opened yet. He didn't know if his evil deeds were reciprocated.
Not far from the library, there is a hill with a viewing platform built on it. Zijiu Xian suggested to go up there and have a look. The scenery of the entire college is really good, with mountains and water, and it is very quiet. It is a good place to study.
The two were chatting casually, but not long after, a pair of eyes appeared four to five hundred meters away, looking at them with hatred.
Chapter 380 is targeted (third update, please vote for me)
The librarian of Green Water College was also lazy today.
Morning classes are over, and various departments in the library have begun working. The door to the library is still closed.
Qu Jianlei felt that this guy was more wanton than him, "Is this "getting up early and rushing to a late gathering?" "
Zi Jiuxian knew how lazy this guy was, so he couldn't help but smile when he heard this, "This is not the only time I've seen you closing the hall."
"This is different," Qu Jianlei replied sternly, "The Old City Library is social, and yours here is a college."
"But they are both libraries," Zi Jiuxian looked at him curiously, "Is there any difference?" "Academy is a place for studying..." Qu Jianlei stopped abruptly in the middle of his words.
He realized where he had gone wrong and asked, "Do students use this library frequently?" This is a society with information barriers, and the library may not be a place for students to study on their own.
To his surprise, Zi Jiuxian answered very simply, "It is used very frequently, and the threshold for reading in the academy is very low."
It seems that you have underestimated Green Water Academy! Qu Jianlei made serious self-criticism.
After all, this is the number one academy on Star 2, and those who graduate from this academy are pillars and pillars of society! Although information barriers exist objectively, the people who support and manage the entire society must be elite talents with good knowledge.
However, Zi Jiuxian's next sentence was a complete reversal, "Almost one-third of those who read are students."
"Ah?" Qu Jianlei was stunned when he heard this, "What about the other two thirds?"
"Of course it's the teacher," Zi Jiuxian looked at him like an idiot, "Isn't the library serving teachers?"
"Wait a minute," Qu Jianlei couldn't hold back his curiosity, "Is such a big library dedicated to serving teachers?"
"Shouldn't it be like this?" Zi Jiuxian's eyes were full of doubts, "Do students want to read books, are the conditions sufficient?" Qu Jianlei was immediately speechless. In a society with such advanced technology, it is still so difficult to learn knowledge? The solidification of class is indeed everywhere!
After almost half an hour, the library finally opened. Zi Jiuxian was a little pleased, "It's not too late today!"
Qu Jianlei followed him down the mountain.
Bian asked, "If a teacher reads a book early in the morning, wouldn't he have any objections?"
Zi Jiuxian gave him a strange look and said, "Teacher, you can borrow books to go home... There is no class in the morning. Isn't it good to read at home?"
"Okay, I have no problem," Qu Jianlei shook his head. This civilized institution of higher learning was a bit different from his perception.
You want to say it's much different? That's not necessarily the case, anyway, China doesn't have this kind of atmosphere, but it's like some capital countries, similar to here.
But Zi Jiuxian was very interested in discussing this issue with him, "Do you think students should be allowed to read?"
"Does my opinion matter?" Qu Jianlei smiled disapprovingly, "I'm not a big shot."
As a man in two lifetimes, he had already lost the high-spiritedness to inspire people with words. It’s good to have dreams, but when dreams can only be dreams, why speak out?
But in the end, he couldn't help but say, "Today's students represent the future of the empire!"
Zi Jiu Xian shook his head, "The future of the empire is family and capital; it is the powerful and conglomerate; it is the clan and monopoly...
At the end of the sentence, she sighed softly and said leisurely, "I also want students to represent the future, but is it possible?"
"You can pull it down," Qu Jianlei replied casually, "Your family is also a vested interest." Without the supremacy of Mrs. Jia, how could your life be so smooth?
"Those with vested interests..." Upon hearing this, Zi Jiu Xian let out a soft snort.
She knew what the other party was referring to. In fact, if it weren't for the existence of Grandma Tai, she would never have thought that her family was a vested interest.
She has always felt that her family is a striving type.
Grandpa and grandma both died in the battle. The elders have paid so much blood, and the descendants can enjoy some residual shadow. Isn't it too much?
So she couldn't help but defend, "My family's life has been stagnant, and even declined a bit."
"Where did you say you had any vested interests?"
Qu Jianlei answered casually, "If it weren't for vested interests, your family wouldn't be in a slight decline, but would be in free fall."
It's not like he has never seen someone return to his original form overnight.
For example, the kid who sells super-power rice could have tried to become a modified warrior, but in the end he had to make a living by selling super-power rice.
So don’t think that the decline in family status means you are not benefiting from vested interests—the decline is simply due to the lack of successors.
It's hard to say what the Zijiuxian family would have developed into without the support of Mrs. Jia.
At the very least, the possibility of eating everything and wiping everything out exists. This is really not alarmist, but the possibility exists objectively.
The two of them just chatted and walked to the door of the library.
Just as he was about to go up the stairs, a voice suddenly came, "Jiu Xian, who is this?"
The two of them looked sideways and saw a sturdy young man walking towards them. He was also a B-level practitioner.
Zijiuxian frowned slightly, "Kelter, please call me Zijiuxian, we are not that close."
Kelt didn't pay attention to these words, but looked at Qu Jianlei eagerly, with obvious wariness in his eyes...even hostility.
"This is a stranger from outside. Do you want to take him into the library?"
Qu Jianlei didn't pay attention, but looked at the other party with interest.
He didn't expect that he would actually meet the legendary Jealousy. Does this mean... that he really returned to a normal life?
Zi Jiuxian's face was as dark as water, and she spoke coldly, "I don't need your permission to bring anyone into the library, right?"
Kelte kept staring at Qu Jianlei, but he still looked at her from the corner of his eyes.
Seeing her being so indifferent, the hostility in his eyes became more and more obvious, "The library is such an important place. Outsiders are not allowed to enter. I have no control over it?"
"I know my own rules, so don't bother me." Zi Jiuxian glanced sideways at Qu Jianlei, "Follow me." Seeing her climbing up the steps, Qu Jianlei ignored the man and raised his legs. Climb the steps.
"How brave!" Kelt shouted sharply, raised his hand and made a seal, and a waterspout rolled towards Qu Jianlei. Qu Jianlei ducked and moved more than ten meters away like a ghost.
The other party seems to be worried about damaging the picture.
In the library, the water dragon's range was not large, and he easily avoided it. He looked at the man coldly, then looked at Zi Jiuxian with a stern look.
This is a school after all, and he wants to give face to the female professor, but he is always being targeted, and he is not someone to be bullied.
Zi Jiuxian's face turned cold, and he raised his hand to make a seal, "Golden Arrow!"
A small golden arrow appeared out of thin air and shot at the opponent extremely quickly.
Kelte's movement skills are also very good. He dodged the golden arrow and his face became ferocious. "You actually killed someone among colleagues..."
Zijiuxian suddenly dodged and rushed over. Her long legs were like springs and she swept towards Kelt with great speed.
Kelt also didn't expect that this delicate female professor, in addition to spells, could also use close combat techniques to be swept away.
This sweeping kick was so powerful that it sent him flying seven to eight meters.
After all, Celt's skill was not bad, and he managed to find his balance in the air. At least he had his feet on the ground, otherwise it would be even worse.
Even so, he staggered seven or eight steps after landing before regaining his balance. For a moment, his eyes were splitting, "You, you, how dare you..."
That golden arrow technique just now might have killed him if he hadn't dodged it quickly.
However, Zi Jiuxian ignored him at all and followed Qu Jianlei up the steps and directly into the library.
There was also an administrator here. When he saw her coming in with a stranger, he stood up and said hello, "Hello, professor, who is this?"
"He's from the Old City Library," Zi Jiuxian replied casually, "I'll take him to visit our library."
This administrator doesn't dare to embarrass the school's teachers, and this person is already in Grade B at a young age, and he can expect to be Grade A in the future.
Even if it is the highest, it is not impossible to think about it.
So he could only watch the two of them go in. Not to mention blocking them, he didn't even dare to speak out any questions.
Then the figure flashed, but it was Kelt who was rubbing the outside of his thighs, sucking in the cold air and grinning as he spoke.
"Hey, so cruel...Did Zi Jiuxian lead someone in?"
The librarian nodded, looking confused, "Yes."
"Why didn't you stop me?" Kelt asked with a dark face, "That's a stranger!"
"Where do I have the courage?" The administrator replied with a wry smile, "She is a professor."
To be a professor at Green Water College, B-level training is a must. Otherwise, no matter how high your academic achievements are, you can only be an "honorary professor."
Celtic's face became tense and he spoke angrily, "Professor can do whatever he wants? Is this how you are responsible?"
What kind of style do you have? The librarian was a little helpless.
However, this person was also B-level, so he still didn't have the guts to provoke him, so he could only explain carefully, "That person is from the local library."
"What's wrong with the local library?" Kelt snorted coldly.
Then he rolled his eyes, lowered his voice and asked, "Which library is it from?"
The administrator didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing, but he didn't have the guts to cover it up. "In the old city..." Qu Jianlei entered the book search room and began to look through the library's catalog.
Seeing him reading seriously, Zi Jiuxian suddenly said, "I'm sorry about what happened just now." "Oh, ah?" Qu Jianlei looked up in shock, then shook his head with a smile.
"It's okay. He should be lucky that it was you who took action. If I were the one who took action, haha..."
He put his mind on the catalog again and asked casually, "Isn't that guy going to stop here?" Zi Jiuxian thought about it, then shook his head slightly, "He's not targeting you, he's targeting me. of."
"Aimed at you?" Qu Jianlei couldn't help but look at her again, and after thinking about it, he asked, "Your suitor?" (It's the third update, please give me monthly votes, follow-up subscriptions and recommendation votes.)
