On the screen, a pure white three-tailed fox squatting on the hospital bed occupied half of the picture. Yan Jue raised his hand to zoom in, looking at the little fox's undisguised sharp eyes, and frowned in worry.
Looking up, Pan Wencheng also had a worried look on his face. Seeing him looking at him, he sighed and said, "Just play as you please, just play as you please. You're already a hundred points behind anyway."
But what to say?
Yan Jue pinched his brows and in a flash remembered the information he had just received from Noel. Instead of talking to Zhuo Feng, he turned around and called customer service.
"91, Noel said the first lesson you taught him was about the basics of kindergarten. Do you also teach this to the other cubs?"
Customer service gave a positive answer.
Yan Jue's eyes lit up: "When does the first class start?"
He couldn't remember how many days Noel had appeared in the "classroom".
"After the cub's favorability reaches ten."
Yan Jue: "...Can we have a negotiation?"
When faced with negative one hundred, he only felt that the number "ten" was terrifyingly large.
The customer service representative said: "Players are requested to work hard to gain the favor of the cubs and get along harmoniously with them. There are no shortcuts in this game."
Yan Jue: “…”
Yan Jue became even more worried. It would be better not to ask.
It would be okay to reveal some of Zhuo Feng's background to him, but now he is completely in the dark. How can he gain Zhuo Feng's trust without stepping on landmines?
"91, the information says Zhuo Feng is still a minor. So how old is he, and how long until he reaches adulthood?"
This will determine what method he will use to fool Zhuo Feng.
Customer Service: "Zhuo Feng is forty-three years old this year, and still one hundred and fifty-seven years away from adulthood. He is considered a child in the clan."
Yan Jue understood: "A forty-three-year-old cub."
Perhaps because he received no response, Zhuo Feng spoke again. His crisp, childlike voice was indescribably steady. "You are such a powerful being, why don't you dare show yourself? Are you afraid of a mere demon like me? If you want to kill me, just tell me straight away. There's no need to waste your talents by setting up this illusion to trap me."
Encouraged by Pan Wencheng, Yan Jue closed his eyes, cleared his throat, and clicked on the voice chat, trying to convey his kindness through his voice: "Hello Zhuo Feng, welcome to the kindergarten. I am Yan Jue, the teacher in charge of life and admissions."
Zhuo Feng: “???”
What? He understood each word, but what did it mean when put together?
Yan Jue said seriously, "The chaotic universe is vast and boundless; the worlds of the heavens are called planes."
"This is a kindergarten independent of all other planes. Every certain period of time, the kindergarten will select those with predestined relationships from other planes to bring them in for training. Zhuo Feng, you are the second student in this kindergarten."
Zhuo Feng didn't say anything. He didn't know what to say. He had already prepared himself for certain death, and this person told him that he was lucky instead of unlucky?
After thinking for a moment, Zhuo Feng asked tentatively, "Can I still go back?"
Yan Jue: "Of course. Once your grades meet the requirements, you can come and go freely. I know you have many questions in your mind, and you won't believe me no matter how much I say. So why don't you stay and observe for a few days to see if I am lying to you?"
"Even if you want to do something, at least you have to heal your injuries first."
Zhuo Feng fell silent again.
After falling out of that dark space, the pain in his body that had disappeared originally showed signs of returning. He could clearly feel that ball of spiritual energy lingering in his meridians, waiting for an opportunity to move, but he didn't know what was temporarily suppressing it.
Combined with the terrifying power he'd experienced earlier, he could probably guess why. He didn't know what the other party was planning, but now that he'd reached this point, was there really any room for choice? He was going to die anyway, so why not give it a try?
What if this really is his only chance of survival?
Gritting his teeth, Zhuo Feng nodded in agreement: "Thank you very much, sir."
Yan Jue smiled and said softly, "You can just call me teacher. If you have any questions, you can come to me and I will do my best to help you. As for the other student, I will formally introduce you to each other tomorrow."
"Teacher." Zhuo Feng twitched his ears and asked calmly, "I wonder if we can meet now?"
Yan Jue froze for a moment and apologized, "According to the kindergarten's rules, I can't meet you for the time being. There are also some other common sense about kindergartens that you will learn in future classes."
Zhuo Feng nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
"You can enter any open area in the kindergarten without any restrictions. But since you just arrived, you should get some rest. The teacher won't disturb you anymore. See you tomorrow."
Zhuo Feng said respectfully, "See you tomorrow, teacher."
As soon as he finished speaking, he could feel the aura outside the barrier disappear. However, thinking of the gap between them, he didn't dare to be careless. Instead, he squatted down, carefully looked around, and carefully recalled everything that had happened since he arrived.
After an hour, Zhuo Feng finally jumped off the bed and headed for the door. However, once outside, he was bewildered by the unfamiliar architectural design and surroundings.
Where should he go?
"Hello, do you need any help?"
Suddenly, a cold male voice echoed in his ears. Unaware of this, the hair on Burning Wind's tail stood on end, and he nearly jumped up from the spot, his ears tucked behind his head. After scanning the area with his spiritual sense and finding no one, he cautiously asked, "Who are you?"
"I'm a teacher 91. Do you need any help?"
Zhuo Feng only half understood and nodded: "Excuse me, do you have a map?"
Teacher 91 didn't say anything, but suddenly, before his eyes, several lines of words appeared floating in the air: Teaching Building, Infirmary (Current), Swimming Pool, Back Mountain, Dormitory...
There is also a row of small words written under each word to explain the meaning of these words.
“If there’s a place you want to go, just think about it in your mind and you’ll get there.”
Zhuo Feng looked at all this in surprise. After expressing his gratitude, he silently recited the word "dormitory". In the blink of an eye, he appeared in the familiar cave.
Unlike last time, when his consciousness could reach outward and touch the barrier of the forest outside, this time his consciousness and body could only touch the cave entrance, and he could not get out no matter what. After thinking for a moment, Zhuo Feng silently recited the words "back mountain" and he appeared in the forest.
This back mountain was much larger than the previous one. It seemed the two times he'd stayed in weren't the same space. Understanding this, Zhuo Feng returned to his dormitories and curled up in a soft, hay-covered nest deep in the cave. He closed his eyes and carefully circulated his spiritual energy, trying to alleviate the discomfort in his meridians.
Meanwhile, after Yan Jue had finally managed to convince Zhuo Feng not to try to escape, he immediately knocked on Nuoer's dormitory door. After briefly explaining Zhuo Feng's condition and how he would introduce them tomorrow, he quietly instructed:
"I know Zhuo Feng left a bad impression on you, but that's all a misunderstanding. Teacher, could you ask Noel to help take care of him?"
Noel was torn. Upon hearing that the fox was from the realm of cultivation, his first reaction was surprise. But thinking back to their first encounter, he felt less happy. But he also wanted to help his teacher...
Yan Jue added, "It's very simple. If he asks you any questions, Nuoer just needs to try his best to answer them. There's no need to do anything else."
This is easy, Noel readily agreed: "Okay, I will take good care of my brother."
"So good!" Yan Jue was very pleased. No matter how difficult the new cub was, he still had his sweet little cotton-padded jacket Noel, who could prolong his life with just one breath.
Noel smiled shyly, then suddenly froze, as if he was listening to something.
Yan Jue didn't understand what was going on and called out "Noel" in surprise.
"Teacher, I'm leaving the kindergarten for a while. I probably won't be back tonight. See you tomorrow, teacher." Noel waved his hand and said happily, "By the way, I'm already preparing the gifts. Teacher, you can start looking forward to it!"
"Goodbye, teacher!"
Watching Nuoer disappear into the dormitory, Yan Jue opened his mouth slightly in a foolish manner, looked up and asked Pan Wencheng: "Did Nuoer mean what I thought he meant?"
Where else can I go after leaving kindergarten? Of course, I go back to reality!
Pan Wencheng pondered, "It seems that once the favorability reaches 100, I can travel back and forth between reality and the kindergarten."
Yan Jue was still in a daze, and Pan Wencheng asked, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
"I'm suddenly curious whether Noel knows about the favorability thing." Yan Jue frowned. "I always feel that the game treats Noel and me differently. Noel knows much more about the kindergarten than I do. When we were still confused, Noel was very adaptable to everything and even thought I knew it too."
The problem is, he doesn't know. Most of the time, customer service tells him to "figure it out on his own" whenever he encounters a problem with a puppy.
The customer service suddenly replied: "The cubs are the masters of the game, and the players are just players."
Yan Jue: "...Okay, I'm just a tool who gets paid."
Customer Service: "The cub doesn't know about favorability."
After saying that, the customer service disappeared.
Pan Wen finished reading the customer service's words: "Why do I always feel that what the customer service said is very meaningful? The cub is the master of the game..."
Unable to figure it out for the time being, Yan Jue sighed and left the confidential room with Pan Wencheng.
"Don't put pressure on yourself." Pan Wencheng patted Yan Jue on the shoulder and reminded him, "Everything will work out when the time comes. There will always be a way."
"I know." Yan Jue nodded.
Pan Wencheng changed the subject: "After the customer service said today that the items sent to Earth are harmless, the expert team should consider how to use the items sent by Noel. Do you want to apply for it?"
Use = eat.
"If you apply, you'll definitely be accepted."
Upon hearing this, Yan Jue immediately shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, the opportunity to become stronger should be given to those who need it more. I am a rookie and I can't become stronger anymore, so there is no need to waste it."
"Good night, Director Pan. Have a sweet dream. I'm leaving now."
Looking at Yan Jue's back as if he was being chased by a ghost, Pan Wencheng laughed unkindly.
The author has something to say:
Zhuo Feng: He's so strong, I'm doomed. To save my life, I'm crying and pretending to be good.
