Gu Shi actually understood the trick behind this, but instead of making it clear, it was better to pretend to be confused.
Anyway, there is no point in him being anxious now. The decision is in the hands of the school, and no one can predict what will happen in the future. Maybe they will be able to go back early.
After chatting casually with Wang Feng for a while, Gu Shi said goodbye and returned to school. Who knew that as soon as he walked out of the teleportation tower, he met a group of more than a dozen people holding banners in the square.
Gu Shi took a closer look and found that they were indeed protesting the school's actions, hoping to get the school to close early in this way.
Because they were just pulling the banners and didn't do anything else, the teams around them responsible for maintaining order couldn't do anything and could only pretend not to see them.
There were only a few young people in this group, and most of them were middle-aged and elderly people. Gu Shi also saw a few familiar faces, who were the owners of the shops downstairs from the dormitory.
One of the fruit shop owners was an old acquaintance of Gu Shi. He used to go there every week to buy some fruit. Because he went there often, the owner knew him and the two of them would occasionally chat.
Gu Shi knew his family situation. He and his wife ran a fruit shop on campus. There were three elderly people and two children in the family, all of whom were left in Blue Star.
It's impossible for a family not to be worried after being separated for so long. Now that they finally see the light of returning home, how can they continue to endure it?
I think there are many people among these people who have similar situations to them.
Gu Shi sighed and returned to the dormitory silently.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw the other three people sitting neatly in the dormitory. Gu Shi was a little surprised and said, "I didn't expect you all to be here at this hour."
Zhao Zhize shrugged and said helplessly, "Something happened during the mission a few days ago. We are recuperating in the dormitory with pay."
When Gu Shi heard this, he immediately asked, "What's wrong? It doesn't look like anything good is going on."
Cheng Xuqing looked listless and explained weakly, "Zhao Zhize and I took on a one-month long mission on the Explorer, responsible for taking care of those magic plants in the planting area.
Who would have thought that two days ago, one of the people who was doing the mission with us suddenly stormed out and started slashing people with a sword, while shouting that he wanted to go back.
I was right next to him at the time, and he accidentally stabbed me. Later, Zhao Zhize was also slightly injured while trying to subdue him.
Later, those of us who had encountered the accident were given leave, saying that we could rest and recuperate. We didn’t need to come back for the rest of the time, and the contribution points were fully paid out.”
"How could this happen! Are your injuries not serious?"
Gu Shi looked at the two of them as he spoke, and there seemed to be nothing unusual about them.
Cheng Xuqing waved his hand. "It's okay, it's okay. A priest healed us both at the time, and we went to the infirmary and drank a few bottles of potions. We are completely fine now."
As he spoke, his voice dropped again, "I really didn't expect this to happen. That uncle was quite kind before, and I even received snacks from him.
Oh, how did it become like this?"
Gu Shi didn't know how to answer Cheng Xuqing's question, so he turned to look at Qi Yu, "What about you, Qi Yu? What's going on with you?"
Qi Yu rubbed his forehead, a worried look on his face, "It turns out that the professor I studied pharmacy with was also attacked three days ago.
Because our group of potion-making students aren't very strong, the academy gave us a holiday to ensure our safety."
When Gu Shi heard this, he couldn't help but want to sigh.
Their school is so big, it is understandable that there are a few impulsive people among tens of thousands of people, but his roommates don't seem to be very lucky, and they are all implicated by this small group of people.
Feeling that the entire dormitory was shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere, Gu Shi felt that this was not acceptable and he had to find a way to cheer up the three of them.
He thought for a moment, then coughed lightly and said, "Although the atmosphere in school has not been very good recently, why don't we go out for a walk? There are still many interesting places in this world.
Especially you, Qi Yu, it seems like you haven't been out much.
Apart from the time you went out with us during the last Chinese New Year, it seems like you have only gone out with the study tour group two or three times.
I'll treat you all this time, how about we go out and relax together?"
Hearing Gu Shi's proposal, Cheng Xuqing was immediately tempted. He was not the type of person who could sit still, and he really wanted to change places to relax, so he quickly agreed.
Zhao Zhize and Qi Yu had no objection. The main reason was that they were stuck in the dormitory all day and couldn't relax, so they might as well take this opportunity to go out and have some fun.
Now that everyone has reached a consensus, the next step is to think about where to travel.
"We've already been to the Orc Tribe last time, and it didn't seem like there was anything interesting there. Let's rule it out this time."
Cheng Xuqing took a pen and wrote the four words "Orc Tribe" on the paper, then put a big cross on it.
Qi Yu nodded, "I agree, and I don't know why, but when I was in the tribe last time, I always felt a little uncomfortable facing those orcs.
Otherwise, let's choose a destination within the scope of human countries this time."
Gu Shi and the other two had no objections.
After a heated discussion, everyone finally decided to go to the hot springs together.
Cheng Xuqing and his friends had heard of this place when they were adventuring outside. It was said that some special hot springs had some additional benefits for the human body.
However, the cost of living in this place was quite high, which was totally unaffordable for the two of them at the time. So although Cheng Xuqing was very interested, he had to give up regretfully in the end.
After choosing their destination, they packed up and prepared to leave.
Gu Shi took some time to go back to the Mage Tower. He said something to Field and took Shufeng with him. He thought that since they were going out to play this time, it would not be good to leave it alone at home.
Shufeng has always been quite smart and a bit vindictive, so Gu Shi doesn't want to give it a chance to lose its temper.
The four of them planned a ten-day trip this time, and they planned to have a good time outside.
Gu Shi believed that by the time they came back, the school should have dealt with the matter. After all, it would have been fifteen days since the minimum guarantee mission was completed, and it would be unreasonable if no action was taken.
Moreover, there have been cases of people using force to injure others. If we continue to let this happen, the situation will definitely become more serious.
I think the school will not take it lightly. As long as they set an example, most of those who are ready to make trouble will be deterred.
