Chapter 19 Chapter 19 Wen Qian’s smile froze...

Wen Qian's smile froze on his face. His dream of praying every day to be randomly assigned a good career to help him change his fate from a poor student to a successful one was finally realized at this moment.

Yes, she really did defy fate and change it. She changed it in the opposite way.

From a poor but excellent student to a beggar, isn’t this also a change of fate…haha…

It's okay. Isn't it said that there are 360 professions and every profession has its own top talent? Even if you're a beggar, even if you're a beggar...

[Professional props loaded - Broken bowl × 1

Prop Details: Mysterious bowl, can be used for anything except eating]

Wen Qian was trying his best to adjust his mentality, but when he saw the broken bowl that the game system coldly threw in front of him, his adjustment failed.

Unable to laugh, with tears in her eyes, she picked up the pen at the pigeon's prompting and wrote a reply with sobs.

Hello, my dear mother in heaven, I have no special intention in writing this letter, except that I suddenly want to come and see you...

——————

In the corner of the garden, Lu Yanbai lowered his eyes slightly, his slender fingers fell on the pages of the book, and he did not turn them for a long time.

Warm golden sunlight shines into the garden, cleverly blocked by the leaves of the wisteria climbing on the wooden trellis, leaving only a green shade.

His fingertips paused, and his cold gaze turned to the girl who was sitting on a bench not far away, unconsciously pulling at the leaves of a bush.

He noticed her the moment she came over, and his excellent memory allowed him to quickly recognize her identity.

It was the poor but excellent student I met in the library before.

She skipped school on the first day of school and now is openly showing up where she shouldn't be during class time.

Lu Yanbai's lips straightened slightly.

The contrast between the other party's identity and behavior is too great. Poor students can only survive in the college by relying on their grades. Choosing to skip classes can only be said to be seeking death - the learning intensity in the college is extremely high. Apart from those students who just come to kill time, there are still many students who really want to learn.

In terms of obtaining learning resources, they have an overwhelming advantage over poor and talented students, who can only rely on school teachers and self-study.

Once they fall behind, their status as poor students will be revoked.

You don't even have to fall behind. As long as your academic ranking drops to the same level as ordinary students, there is no need for you to appear in the academy.

Aren’t you afraid of being expelled, or is there any other reason?

Lu Yanbai habitually ignores superficial factors and thinks about deeper reasons.

The brain automatically ruled out the most common possibility - this poor student was really just skipping classes.

Wen Qian didn't know that his appearance in the garden had caused someone to think a lot and even consider the balance of the academy's development.

She didn't even notice there was anyone else in the area besides her.

Even if you find it, you probably won’t care. It’s just the background NPC of the map. This kind of thing is everywhere and can be completely ignored.

"...I'm so unlucky." She sighed, and couldn't help but think of her pitifully low initial numerical points. Thinking about it this way, her luck was really bad.

Maybe I should take some time to visit the temple?

Lost in his own thoughts, Lu Yanbai subconsciously looked up towards the direction where the voice came from.

The girl with her head down changed her sitting position to avoid the pigeons flying beside her, and the depressed look on her face did not seem fake.

"Why do I always encounter this kind of thing? Is it really my fault?..."

The question, which sounded like self-doubt, reached Lu Yanbai's ears.

He frowned and looked up at Wen Qian. His excellent eyesight allowed him to clearly see the traces of tears that had not yet dried in the corners of her eyes.

Lu Yanbai's expression remained calm. His fingertips lightly tapped the thick cover of the book in his hand, and a vague guess emerged in his mind.

Perhaps he knew why she was not in the classroom during class time, but appeared here.

"Investigate the recent performance of the poor and talented students in the college." Lu Yanbai stood up and walked out, dialing the phone, his voice cold, "Bring over the entrance examination results of the poor and talented students reported recently."

The student union members were extremely efficient. When Lu Yanbai returned to the lounge, the report had already been handed to his desk.

Lu Yanbai looked down at the test paper in his hand with the words "Wen Qian" written on it, and the neat handwriting caught his eye.

This test was not difficult for her. He lowered his eyes slightly and made a judgment in his heart.

This is a general test paper for poor and gifted students. Judging from the problem-solving process on the paper, her level should be more than this.

He looked up at the boy who had been waiting beside him after delivering the documents.

"Have someone make an S-level test and bring her here." He pointed to the name on the test paper in his hand.

The male student went over the word Wen Qian in his mind and lowered his head slightly: "I'll go now."

A habitual truant, completely unaware that he was being targeted, was searching the campus for trash cans.

Just now, she accidentally touched a wooden stick and picked it up casually. When she was about to throw the stick away, the system prompt sounded.

[Specific equipment detected, professional skills triggered]

[Professional Skills——[Special Attack on Trash Cans]

Skill Details: When attacking a trash can, in addition to normal harvest, there is a 20% chance of triggering a treasure chest.

Wen Qian: ...?

Is this correct?

Wen Qian, who had never thought that the wooden stick would be a special equipment, couldn't help but think of the broken bowl stored in the system backpack.

Very good, the professional image has become more concrete.

Wen Qian looked at the new skill several times in a row, although he seemed to be disgusted, but in fact his player instincts were beginning to stir.

Open the treasure chest...

Even if I can't trigger the treasure chest, picking up trash seems to be quite fun...

On the one hand, gamers have an instinctive urge to rummage through trash cans, while on the other hand, they worry that the process will be too realistic.

Xiao Wen was in a dilemma.

[Novice Career Mission - Trash Can Battle

No one can resist rummaging through trash cans. If one doesn't work, try ten. You'll always find what you need in this mysterious place.

Task requirements: Search the trash can (0/5)

Reward: Work performance × 10 (can be used for career advancement)

■■■■×1 (Randomly unlock a system unlocked function)

Wen Qian was stunned when he saw the mission reward clearly. What dilemma? This was clearly a multiple-choice question!

Wen Qian, whose mind was occupied by the word "mission", instantly locked onto the only trash can in his sight and ran excitedly to it.

A green transparent box pops up.

[Whether to attack the trash can]

【Agree/Reject】

Wen Qian chose to agree without much thought. The scene in front of him changed, the trash can disappeared, and the scene in front of him turned into a scene that was somewhat similar to the door opening verification.

[Mini game - [Garbage War] is about to start, limited to 10 seconds, come and test your hand speed! ]

What, it’s started now. Don’t you want to give me a game description?

Wen Qian was a little panicked as he didn't expect the game to get to the point so quickly. He didn't know how to play it with only a name.

The light screen that suddenly appeared in front of my eyes flashed the game start logo.

On both sides of the screen, various Q-version garbage patterns flew to the center of the screen in parabolic trajectories, followed by a large word "Smash".

Before Wen Qian could figure out what kind of game this was, his right hand holding the stick activated its muscle memory.

Chop horizontally, chop vertically, avoid the bomb patterns that look bad, and keep chopping.

The shattered patterns all appeared in the prop bar above.

At the end of the split, a treasure chest flew out. Wen Qian subconsciously chopped it, but the treasure chest did not split open like other garbage. Instead, a logo appeared - 19/20

Seeing the countdown with only a few seconds left, Wen Qian had no time to think. He used all his life's hand speed and finally split the treasure chest at the last second.

Until the moment the game ended, Wen Qian still couldn't react.

She acted on instinct throughout the game and felt that this game had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.

Wait, isn’t this just that fruit-cutting game?

Although she had played many similar games before, this tutorial was too simple, just two words!

[We have received a player complaint and the relevant staff will respond within seven working days]

Wen Qian had a blank expression on his face: "You can fool me, but you can only fool me."

[…Rewards settled]

[Very Clean Eggshells x 10, Mysterious Map x 1, Broken Can x 1]

Looking at the neatly stacked white eggshells on the ground, Wen Qian fell silent.

Do you really want this kind of garbage to take up space in your backpack?

Forget it, just take it for now. Maybe in the future the game will launch some small activity where you can combine ten egg shells into one egg.

Automatically pick it up.

The player ignored the NPC who was standing there in a daze after witnessing this scene, and walked towards the next trash can with a clear goal.

After delivering the information the president needed to the other party's lounge, Zhao Fu went to Wen Qian's class. He did not find the student, but learned about his skipping class from other people.

It is very difficult to accurately find a person who is missing in the college.

Zhao Fu hesitated for a long time and still didn't dare to report the matter to the president - would the president think that he was not doing a good job?

After hesitating for just a moment, he was lucky enough to meet the student named Wen Qian while standing downstairs.

His eyes lit up and he walked forward: "Hello..."

Before he could finish his greeting, the girl standing not far away pulled out a wooden stick from somewhere.

Suddenly and without warning, he started poking at the trash can.

He poked it three times, stood there silently for a few seconds, then turned and left.

Zhao Fu was so shocked that he stood there in a daze, almost thinking that he was going to lose her again. He quickly followed her footsteps, but not long after, the girl who was walking away quickly suddenly braked.

Stopped next to another trash can.

The familiar scene unfolded again - three consecutive pokes, silence, and running away.

It was the first time that Zhao Fu knew that there were so many trash cans in the college.

He was in a daze and had missed the opportunity to speak, but fortunately he was sure that he would not lose the person.

Because the other party had already come to his side - next to the trash can.

"Which one is this?" Wen Qian muttered softly.

“…The fourth one.”

Zhao Fu answered subconsciously.

The two looked at each other in silence.

One didn't expect someone to answer him, and the other didn't expect that he would subconsciously respond.

"I'm not peeping at you. I came here specifically to see you." Zhao Fu explained hurriedly, and the more he spoke, the more something seemed wrong.

The person in front of him did not mean to blame him, but instead looked at him with shining eyes.

"Come to see me specially? That's great!"

"Classmate, do you need my help with something?"

Wen Qian casually stuffed the stick into the trash can and turned to look at the NPC who had come to him with a [!] sign on his head.

Please give me one hundred more self-aware NPCs like this!

Zhao Fu felt uneasy. Why did he feel that the way this girl looked at him was... like looking at a trash can?
