Yan Jue went to the back mountain and saw the two cubs still sitting on the branches. However, after seeing the posture of the two cubs, countless question marks popped up in his head.
Weren't they still sitting side by side when he left just now? It's only been a few minutes. What happened that could make Zhuo Feng lower himself and nestle in Noel's arms and let him touch his fur?
Holding a fox as big as himself in his arms, Noel's face was almost buried and invisible, but his hands were still persistently rubbing Zhuofeng's soft ears, with his eyes narrowed and a dreamy look on his face.
"Teacher, Zhuofeng's fur is so soft. Is this an animal? Are other furry animals as nice to touch as Zhuofeng?"
Yan Jue: ???
Did you call me here just to show off your ability to pet a fox? Where's my sweet little cotton-padded jacket, Noel? Why is it leaking?
Yan Jue had the expression of an old man on the subway using his cell phone.
Zhuo Feng felt a little embarrassed when he noticed the teacher coming. If Noel hadn't said he'd never seen a land animal or touched soft fur, he wouldn't have been so soft-hearted as to throw his head into his arms. He was just being caring for the cub!
After rescuing his ear from the little mermaid's hands, Zhuo Feng jumped to the side with a slight struggle, shook his body to straighten his hair, and then returned to a dignified squatting posture.
Noel looked at Zhuofeng's big furry tail with regret, and his hands were itching to move again, but he hadn't touched that place yet.
Yan Jue called back Nuoer's attention: "Nuoer, what do you want to see the teacher for?"
"Oh, something's up." Noel averted his gaze from Zhuofeng's tail. "Teacher, I just told Zhuofeng that you were studying the gift I gave you. Zhuofeng was very curious, but I didn't know how to study it, so I had to call you over."
"Will it not disturb the teacher?"
"No." Yan Jue nodded at Nuoer's head. "Does Nuoer want to know too?"
Noel nodded honestly.
Zhuo Feng then asked, "Can creatures from other worlds be studied? What kind of research should be done?"
A profound question. Yan Jue, a non-professional, carefully worded his words, trying to make them as simple and understandable as possible: "Research is research. Regardless of what it is, we can extract the unique codes of the alien creatures sent here, and then compare them with our world to see if there are any similarities and whether they are harmful to us."
After a few random words, Yan Jue said directly: "I told you that there is no magic in my world and everyone is just ordinary humans, right?"
The two cubs nodded in unison.
"Then, through research, we discovered that the two kinds of alien fish and seaweed that Noel sent us would improve the physical fitness of our people after they ate them, and their bodies would gradually become stronger."
Noel exclaimed, "Become stronger? But us mermaids don't see any changes after eating it. Only by eating the flesh of sea monsters can we become stronger. By the way, teacher, did you receive the sea monster I gave you? Did you use it for research?"
"Got it. Thank you for the gift, Noel, but I'm still researching it, so I haven't received it yet."
When Yan Jue saw Noel's notes on the gift, he discovered that the other party had specifically mentioned that the sea monster's body contained energy, which was very nourishing for mermaids. He thought it was nothing at the time, but when he heard it again now, his heart skipped a beat and he felt a little uneasy.
They can become stronger by eating ordinary sea creatures, so what kind of existence will sea monsters with energy contain to them? Will they directly turn into supermen?
No, if there really was a problem, the expert group would definitely discover it and not consume it. He just didn't sleep well last night and was overthinking.
Yan Jue touched his heart, which had suddenly started beating faster, and calmed himself down before answering Zhuo Feng's question: "Research results? That's not impossible, but if you want to understand it, Zhuo Feng, you have to learn the knowledge here first, which is difficult."
Zhuo Feng didn't believe in evil. Cultivation was very difficult. In just forty years, he had reached the Bone Refining Stage. How could he not learn the knowledge of the ordinary human world?
Yan Jue silently searched for a passage from a university biology textbook and read it to Zhuo Feng.
"Thank you, teacher. Don't read anymore." Zhuo Feng felt dizzy and gave up decisively. This was completely different from practicing Taoism. After hearing Yan Jue's nagging, he felt like an illiterate.
Yan Jue, who also didn't quite understand, consoled him and asked, "What does Zhuo Feng want to do with the research results? This thing is of no use to you, right?"
Their research is to compare with the creatures on Earth. Zhuo Feng doesn't believe in science, so why does he need the results? To see if he is lying to him?
Zhuo Feng turned his eyes away embarrassedly, "I'm just curious..."
He was really curious about how the teacher could conduct research on alien creatures in a world full of ordinary people. He simply couldn't imagine it.
"Okay, I'm curious." Yan Jue smiled and didn't dwell on the question. Instead, he asked Nuoer, "Nuoer, you said your father helped you catch that sea monster. Now that it's gone, did your father blame you?"
Noel froze for a moment, his eyes darting around, his fingers nervously scratching the lines on the branches under his butt, refusing to answer Yan Jue's question.
Yan Jue was no longer considerate at this time. He immediately saw through Nuoer's panic and said quietly, "Our Nuoer is nervous. Let the teacher guess. Did you cheat and sneak through without answering your father's question directly?"
Zhuo Feng also looked at Noel.
Yan Jue sighed and said, "It's the teacher's fault. If Noel hadn't wanted to give the teacher a beautiful gift, he wouldn't have risked asking his father to help catch the sea monster. It's the teacher's fault."
"No!" Noel shook his head. "I wanted to give it to my teacher as a gift. He has helped me find a way to use my power. I still don't think a sea monster is enough."
His cheeks flushed slightly: "I just haven't figured out how to explain it to my father..."
Because he hadn't thought it through, he had been playing hide-and-seek in every corner of the palace from yesterday until now. He would either hide or simply succumb to physical fatigue and go to sleep, refusing to show up and face his father and mother. Anyway, up to now, his father hadn't found a chance to ask him.
But this is not a solution. When the high priest comes to examine him today, his father will definitely catch him and question him. It is very likely that he will get a spanking.
Noel sighed secretly, his eyes full of sorrow. Suddenly, two voices sounded at the same time.
Zhuo Feng was shocked: "Teacher, can you help you find a way to use your power?"
Yan Jue was moved: "Teacher has a suggestion, Noel, do you want to listen?"
The two looked at each other across the screen, waiting for Noel to turn over the card.
What was Noel's top priority right now? Of course, it was how to deal with his father. He decisively chose Yan Jue and said impatiently, "I want to hear it, teacher, tell me quickly!"
"Teacher just said that people here will become stronger after eating the fish and algae from your sea, so Teacher wants to make a deal with Noel to exchange a large amount of running fish, thousand-thread grass, or other seafood that you often eat."
Noel was stunned, not understanding what kind of advice this was. "But, does this have anything to do with how I explain this to my father?"
"Of course."
Yan Jue analyzed to Noel: "Since it's a transaction, the quantity must be at least a dozen. Can Noel get so many things independently?"
Thinking about how he was only the size of a palm in reality, Noel shook his head decisively.
"That's right. If you want to complete the transaction, you must ask your father for help. And you must discuss the trade item with your father. There's no way around it. In this way, can't you explain the whereabouts of the sea monster?"
Noel fell into deep thought.
What Yan Jue didn't say was that Nuoer could send him the gift before he even returned to reality, and the gift was real, so it must have been customer service who helped him. Sure, he could have gotten Nuoer to trade a large amount of seafood with him through customer service, but as the saying goes, there's no such thing as a free lunch.
Although they don't know why the customer service is doing charity and meeting all their requests without asking for any money, one day they will figure it out, or the customer service will take the initiative to tell them what they need.
Rather than relying entirely on customer service to get seafood, it is safer to rely on Noel, who can now return to reality, to collect it and only pay a small "travel fee".
He didn't tell Noel about these considerations. If it was Zhuo Feng he was dealing with today, he would have definitely explained everything to Zhuo Feng clearly. But in front of Noel, a real cub, he still tried to fool him as much as possible to keep him happy and looking forward to kindergarten.
Zhuo Feng glanced up into the air, silently muttered to himself, and sent a private message to Yan Jue.
[Zhuo Feng: Did you know that Teacher 91 can obtain all the items in our dimension?]
Yan Jue raised a brow. He hadn't expected that after Zhuo Feng's favorability towards him had turned positive, his true character would turn out to be so frank and straightforward. He smiled and replied "yes."
[Zhao Feng: Then why do you insist on being involved with Noel's world? What do you want to do?]
Yan Jue could almost see the claws hidden behind Zhuo Feng's words. If he had any intentions against Noel's world, would this little fox kill his master? He was really curious about what this fox had been through to develop such deep feelings for Noel in such a short time.
After briefly stating his thoughts, Yan Jue added: Noel's memory began in kindergarten.
They are all smart people. Combining the previous and the next, Zhuo Feng will definitely be able to guess what he means.
Sure enough, after he sent this private message, a thought flashed across Zhuo Feng's eyes, and his tail began to sway back and forth behind him. Yan Jue looked at the tips of his three tails moving in unison and wondered: Does Zhuo Feng know that when he thinks, his tails behind him will unconsciously sway to the beat?
Alas, when will he be able to pet a fox?
He clearly had no feelings for pets in real life, but in the game, he was actually a little envious of Zhuo Feng's fur. Furthermore, they could still come to his world and maintain their kindergarten-sized bodies. Yan Jue suddenly felt that he should practice some concentration.
If he accumulates enough points to invite the little ones over, he will definitely be tempted to attack them. By then, won't the little ones think he's a pervert?
Yan Jue, who currently has only 263 points, began to dream and plan for the future.
After Noel spent three minutes thinking and scraping off a piece of bark from the tree under his hand, he finally spoke weakly, "Teacher 91 said that we are not allowed to reveal the existence of the kindergarten to anyone outside..."
Yan Jue said nonchalantly, "It's a small matter. Since you're not allowed to mention kindergarten, let's find another excuse. For example, Noel, your consciousness can travel to another world while you sleep, and then you meet me as your teacher, and I teach you the common sense of other worlds. How about this excuse?"
Noel was stunned: "Wow, teacher, you are so good at lying!"
Yan Jue: ...I don't think this is a compliment.
Zhuo Feng suppressed his laughter.
Yan Jue wiped away the black lines on his head and asked, "Does Nuoer agree with the teacher's proposal?"
Noel nodded, but still had one last concern: "I think it's a good idea, but I don't know how to trade it with the teacher. Snacks? How many snacks would it take to get a dozen fish? A whole room?"
"Snacks are a small gift from the teacher. They can't be traded." Yan Jue said, touching his conscience: "If you want to eat them, just tell the teacher and he will buy them for you."
"The specific items for the trade will be determined after you discuss them with your father. If my world has what your father wants, the transaction can proceed. If not, the transaction will be invalidated."
Noel thought for a moment and nodded vigorously: "Okay, I will tell Father! But Father doesn't know what is in Teacher's world. I don't know either. How can Father know if there is what he wants?"
Yan Jue paused and said, "Well, the teacher will give you some information later. You can take it back and show it to your father."
The information wasn't there yet, but he was confident the experts would be able to work hard and come up with it. Without Director Pan, Yan Jue had to personally communicate with the expert team.
"The teacher is going to prepare the materials and will be away for a while."
Noel responded, and a huge weight lifted off his chest. He was in a very good mood now, sitting on a branch and swinging his tail back and forth like a swing.
After shaking a few times, he suddenly remembered what Zhuo Feng seemed to have said just now?
"Zhuo Feng, did you ask me something just now?"
Zhuo Feng nodded and repeated, "Well, you just said that it was the teacher who helped you find a way to use your power. What's going on?"
"Well..." Noel hesitated, glancing at Zhuo Feng and humming softly, "I'm only telling you this because you're my brother. Don't laugh at me after you find out."
Zhuo Feng simply nodded: "Brother, if you tell me, I will definitely not laugh at you."
Nuoer had more experience in kindergarten than him, so he had no problem calling him "brother." He had a very flexible bottom line. Zhuo Feng silently excused himself.
Noel was very happy to be called "brother" and began to share his own journey with Zhuofeng like pouring beans.
So when Yan Jue came into the confidential room with the book in the afternoon, what he saw was a pair of sparkling fox eyes and the prompt [Zhuo Feng Favorability +5].
Wait, what happened?
