Chapter 174: Unfathomable (Part 1)
That night, during dinner…
Chen Hansheng, who had just exited the tower and had not had time to rest, appeared in front of Wang Wen, his face covered in sweat.
Wang Wen asked, “There’s no problem if you want to join the resource team, but why did you rush here as soon as you stepped out of the tower? It’s not like I worry you’d steal the relics.”
Chen Hansheng wiped the sweat off his forehead and said hesitantly, “I just came out of the tower and received some requests from people who want to quit the resource team, so I came to discuss it with you.”
Wang Wen asked, “Quit? Did you deduct their wages? How did that happen?”
Chen Hansheng said, “The resource team is my heart and soul, so why would I deduct their pay? I heard you have some kind of training outside the tower?”
Wang Wen’s heart beat faster.
He nodded and admitted it without blinking. “That’s right. Some teams’ standards were inconsistent. I wanted them to be able to conduct basic resource searches.”
Chen Hansheng wiped his brow again. He said, “I have no objections to your training. But they said there was an angry teacher in the academy. He taught things that were exhausting, painful, and extremely boring. They said they could not stay on that resource team if they had to go through that kind of training every time they left the tower in the future.”
Mo Ran was dumbfounded.
Wang Wen turned to look at Mo Ran, perplexed. “How did you spend your afternoon? Did you teach them how to run?”
“I just let them work on their physical fitness and combat skills.” Mo Ran looked up at the distant sky and said innocently, “Why are today’s rookies so rude? They are incapable of enduring any kind of adversity!”
Wang Wen rubbed his temples in frustration. “They are my resource team, not members of your team. They are under no obligation to accept your training! If you truly want to teach them, you must teach them skills they are interested in, which will help them gain strength quickly. Otherwise, we would be wasting each other’s time. The world has too many ordinary people. Not everyone is willing to be a monk.”
Mo Ran smacked his lips and remained silent.
Chen Hansheng, who was standing next to him, said awkwardly, “I chose that group of people. They are superior to ordinary people, and they are also eager to advance. Perhaps it’s better if you have training tailored for them.”
“Don’t get me wrong.” Wang Wen consoled Chen Hansheng, saying, “Mo Ran and I were just talking about the academy’s teaching methods. We are not implying that your people don’t want to advance.”
Chen Hansheng wiped the sweat from his brow.
He nodded. “That’s great.”
Another group of resource teams emerged from the tower while everyone was talking.
Wang Wen did not let Mo Ran deal with them. He went up to greet those people personally.
They could not stop laughing.
Unknowingly, time passed.
As the resource teams emerged from the tower one by one, there were an increasing number of Quick-acting Antidotes.
Wang Wen got more proficient in creating things out of thin air.
The resource teams said that Little Teacher Wang was omnipotent, well-intentioned, mysterious, invincible in teaching, serious, and patient in his teachings. People who practiced outside the tower got even more exhausted. Some might call Wang Wen a grandmaster!
The title of grandmaster made Wang Wen smile.
He was relieved that no one realized he was using them to practice his skills.
That was great!
Progressing secretly in a place that others could not see and then stunning the crowd was something all people with positive ambition liked to do.
After two days, Cheng Qieyi appeared out of nowhere at the academy.
Her good friend, the woman with glasses, sat beside her.
Wang Wen served them tea in a small pavilion next to the field and asked why they were there.
“I missed the academy,” Cheng Qiaoyi said. “We’re here today because Yuanyuan mentioned she wanted to visit the academy today.”
Wang Wen looked at the woman in glasses sitting next to Cheng Qiaoyi as she picked up the teacup.
He remembered her vividly.
That Yuanyuan had a pretty close relationship with Shen Rushuang, a member of the Mirror.
Then, the Mirror was destroyed.
He had no idea why she wanted to go to the academy.
Wang Wen avoided making eye contact with her.
He did not want to fight a war he was not sure about.
He would not say anything unless there was proof. It may not be beneficial to Cheng Qiaoyi. It could even lead to a misunderstanding or endanger Cheng Qiaoyi.
As a result, he said little and drank his tea quietly.
On the other hand, the bespectacled woman continued to converse with Cheng Qiaoyi, bringing up some important issues, such as who was in charge of the academy’s reconstruction.
Cheng Qiaoyi was unconcerned about such matters.
Wang Wen tried to give her hints occasionally, but she did not take them seriously.
She happened to be standing next to Wang Wen at the time. She simply could not be bothered to think about it and posed the question directly to her senior.
“I’m just a senior from the previous third grade,” Wang Wen said.
Yuanyuan seized the opportunity to speak with Wang Wen. “Senior Wang, what about you? What are you in charge of at the academy? I heard that many strangers have been entering and leaving the academy recently. Were they looking for you?”
Wang Wen paused for a moment before responding calmly, “Oh, those people. They were sick and could not find a toilet outside. They came to the academy to use the toilet. I am responsible for collecting the fees.”
The bespectacled lady was taken aback.
Cheng Qiaoyi turned to face Wang Wen. She looked at him with admiration. Her big eyes were brimming with stars.
The two sides’ conversation ended in a friendly and harmonious atmosphere.
