After Shi Xin finished speaking, Ming Qiao couldn't help but hold his forehead as he looked at the mess on the ground.
Not to mention now, even when nothing happened before, asking him to help find a book would require Shi Xin's off-field assistance.
Now, I have to find a list of books, and I have to look for them in the ruins.
"Teacher Ming, don't feel stressed. I can help you." As soon as Shi Xin finished speaking, a huge precast concrete slab at the foot of Ming Qiao was lifted up and slowly fell into the corner.
Ming Qiao once again widened his eyes in disbelief, and finally tilted his head and smiled: "Awesome."
"During the day, the library instance is more like a small game to me. The system issues tasks to me, and I can use the game controller to move everything in my sight except the fixed scenes to complete them. So the tasks later will be mainly done by me. Teacher Ming, you should relax and get your spirits up so that you can deal with things in the evening."
"That's fine." Mingqiao nodded in agreement with Shi Xin's suggestion. He quickly used several exposed building blocks to build himself a small stool. After wiping it clean, he found a place where he would not get in the way and sat down, thinking about what he would do next.
First, Shi Xin has a clear mission and rewards for decryption, which is a must. Second, he has to find the students who disappeared in the library based on clues that may appear at night and rescue them. This is his purpose here. Finally, about Sun Guiping.
Mingqiao took a deep breath. What role did he, as a mentor, play here?
There are also library supplement rules that are gradually revealed.
The first one is that the library is absolutely safe, but according to what Mingqiao has experienced so far, this one is not very reliable, although since he came in, he has not encountered any dangerous situations like the cafeteria and the playground before. The only good thing is that the tasks here are very simple and mindless, and there are rewards. As for whether the rewards are useful, what they are for, it is not within his current consideration.
The second rule is to remember your own identity. Mingqiao has seen this rule in other places. In the library, different identities have different tasks. As long as he does not do anything excessive, this rule can be temporarily ignored.
The third rule was the one that had just been unlocked. Please try to keep quiet in the library, especially after 17:00 in the afternoon and before 9:00 in the morning. He had already violated this rule. Since he entered the library, he had been communicating with Shi Xin, and the appearance of Fendi made him talk all the time. It was not certain whether the punishment was the appearance of Fendi or the architectural competition, but it could be said that he had avoided it safely.
The fourth rule is that the library will be cleared at 17:00 every afternoon. If you are still lingering after 17:00, please leave immediately. If you see someone lingering after 17:00, do not try to communicate with him/her, ignore him/her and leave immediately. Mingqiao also violated this rule. Whether subjectively or passively, he stayed in the library after 17:00 in the afternoon, and did not ignore Fendi. He communicated with her many times and almost had a conflict. Similar to the third rule, he could not be sure what the punishment of the rule was, but he was alive now, which meant that he had escaped.
After this analysis, Mingqiao became more certain that the library was different from before, or in other words, the "good guys" had a slight upper hand here.
Shi Xin's work was proceeding in an orderly manner, and Ming Qiao was also preparing for the night eight hours later.
When neither of them noticed, a male student about seventeen or eighteen years old stood at the side door of the library.
He raised his hand and knocked on the door twice.
Mingqiao heard the noise and looked over quickly. The boy was very strong and tall, standing at the door like a wall. In Mingqiao's impression, it was good for such a student not to bang on the door, but he just knocked twice. It was normal, but not particularly abnormal.
Ming Qiao didn't say anything for a while, just looked at him, wondering if this boy would become the next Fendi. But since it was a task assigned by the good guy system, this boy should be a harmless NPC.
"Hello, teacher." The boy bowed politely to Mingqiao and began to explain his purpose: "I want to borrow some books."
"Ah, hello, please come in."
The boy stared at the mess of building materials all over the room. He looked terrified, but he got used to it over time. Shi Xin carried out the moving and sorting work in secret, mainly because he didn't want to leave too much psychological trauma on the child.
Mingqiao led him to a cleared space that Shi Xin had cleared, and held out his hand to him: "Can you show me your book list?"
The boy handed Mingqiao an A4-sized white building block with both hands, and then stood quietly aside.
Mingqiao showed the blank block to Shi Xin outside the screen and got a series of book titles. He frowned after listening and asked the boy: "Liberal arts student? College entrance examination next year?"
"Yes." The boy nodded.
Mingqiao sighed inwardly. He didn't know whether he should treat this boy as an ordinary student for the time being, but he didn't return the book list in the end. Instead, he continued to ask, "Who recommended the book list to you?"
"Our class monitor is a very good student." The boy scratched his head helplessly: "Teacher, is there any problem?"
"Yeah." Ming Qiao responded, "At this critical moment, he still recommends these meaningless extracurricular books to you to read?"
"But he said that reading can broaden your horizons and help you write more effectively in the exam room."
Mingqiao pursed his lips, thought for a moment and then asked, "Do you mind if I write a new book list for you?"
"Ah? I don't mind." The boy waved his hands hurriedly: "But teacher, can you still help me find the books on my original list?"
"Sure." Mingqiao asked him for a pen and paper, quickly wrote down a few book titles, and handed them back to him, and then prepared to look for them according to the boy's original list.
There are fifteen books on it, which can be divided into three popular science books, eleven leisure readings and one reference book according to the library's classification standards.
"Shi Xin, are you listening?" Ming Qiao turned his back and asked in a low voice.
"In, start?"
"Yeah." Mingqiao nodded.
Shi Xin had just spent a long time controlling the game controller to move things. The collapsed construction waste had basically been moved away and piled on both sides of the first floor. Only a pile of miscellaneous building blocks remained in the middle area.
"Left 1." Shi Xin gave the task briefly, and Ming Qiao also kicked a brick away tacitly, making a relatively loud noise to cover it up.
Mingqiao walked to the pile of waste books on the left. The two of them couldn't act too obviously in front of others, so Mingqiao moved twice meaningfully, and a book was turned out by Shi Xin.
Seeing the building blocks floating up from a pile of books, Mingqiao quickly took them and put them in the boy's arms.
Seeing that the building blocks were still moving, Mingqiao knew that the book he wanted was in the pile, so he continued to cooperate.
After finding three books one after another, Shi Xin said, "2."
The direction has not changed, only the number, which means the next pile is 2 on the left.
Mingqiao took the boys over again.
"Teacher, I seemed to hear some sound just now." The boy hesitated for a long time and finally interrupted Mingqiao's action of looking for a book.
"Really? Why didn't I hear it?" Ming Qiao speeded up with Shi Xin and finished the whole thing with even more chaotic movements: "Are you hallucinating?"
"Really?" Looking at Mingqiao's expression as if nothing had happened, the boy was also confused. He stopped expressing his opinions and just stood quietly aside waiting for Mingqiao to help him find the book.
Mingqiao didn't feel tired after searching three piles, but Shixin stopped, so Mingqiao also stopped. He knew that Shixin was tired. If Mingqiao kept clicking the game controller for a long time, his fingers would probably break.
"Take a break." Mingqiao said to the boy, "Are these books heavy?"
"Not bad." The boy already had seven "books" piled in his arms, one of which was particularly thick.
Mingqiao also put together a small stool for him, and the two of them found a place to sit down together.
"How are your grades? Which university do you plan to apply to?"
When talking about college, the boy showed a bit of discomfort on his face. He lowered his head, rubbed his toes together, and said after a long while: "I may not be able to pass the entrance exam."
Ming Qiao was a little surprised: "There's still a year left, and you're already saying pessimistic things?"
"I'm studying sports, so training takes up a lot of my time, leaving little time for study."
"Then you don't need to read these books." Mingqiao pointed to the pile of books in his hands and said, "Study the textbooks in your hands thoroughly. They will be enough for you to reach the cultural level of sports minor."
The boy's face showed confusion again, and Mingqiao immediately realized that the key problem might not be just focused on academic subjects.
"How was your physical training?"
"Not very good." The boy said this with a more depressed look: "I originally studied sports just to get into college with low scores, but the daily training is so tiring. There is still more than half a year before the sports single recruitment, but I don't think I can stick to it for a day."
"Have you ever thought about going for liberal arts?" Mingqiao said, "Although the liberal arts score line is high, if you study hard, you can improve a lot in one year."
"I can't do that." The boy refused: "I'm just a poor student."
It was the first time that Mingqiao met someone so unconfident, so he patiently persuaded her: "As long as you work hard, everything will change."
"Is there any chicken soup?" The boy blinked at him.
"No, sorry." Mingqiao said, "I haven't taught a senior class yet."
The boy didn't say anything after hearing this, and his two feet, which had been restless, stopped at this moment.
Mingqiao looked at him in confusion.
"You teachers are just concerned about the admission rate, and look down on those of us who take shortcuts and study in small classes."
Ming Qiao was stunned: "No, I don't look down on you."
"Go to school, go to school, go to school! I told you I can't get into the liberal arts or science university! I'm stupid! I hate studying! I hate exams! I don't want to practice sports!"
"Calm down!" Ming Qiao had realized that the situation had changed. He stood up in a hurry and tried his best to persuade: "The ultimate goal of establishing a school is not to allow students to enter university..."
"I don't want to listen!" The boy was now in a state of extreme nervousness and anger, but Mingqiao had no idea what he had said wrong to offend him.
"Teacher Ming!" Shi Xin's voice came clearly. Ming Qiao was startled and heard Shi Xin say, "It shows that you have violated the rules and triggered the side quest."
