Chapter 112: Difficult to Convince
The next day, everyone settled down in Xueziju, and it happened to be Saturday.
Nie Jianxi knocked on their doors one by one and spoke cruel words to them in the face of their looks that showed they didn't want to be office workers.
"Are you tired from school? Let's learn something different to relax."
The tone of voice when saying this was very gentle, just like a teacher saying to students, "Are you tired of doing math problems? Then sit down and do some English problems to relax."
It sounds reasonable at first, but upon closer inspection, it's simply nonsense.
Luo Qingfeng was so excited that he didn't sleep all night last night. He had two dark circles under his eyes and looked like a ghost: "Brother Nie, I call you brother, can you let us rest for even one day?"
Nie Jianxi's beautiful lips uttered a slogan: "Why sleep for a long time when you are alive? You will sleep forever after you die."
Qiu Tingxu had actually seen this slogan somewhere before, it seemed to be on the wall of his high school.
He sighed: "...Nie Jianxi, how obsessed were you with the admission rate in your previous life?"
Luo Qingfeng simply planned to lock the person out and ignore him.
"You are exploiting me, I protest!"
Nie Jianxi: "Qingfeng, if you work harder, Xiao Yue'er will be able to reincarnate sooner."
Luo Qingfeng paused as he was about to close the door, and said in disbelief: "If I understand correctly, are you threatening me?"
Nie Jianxi smiled, "No, I'm just telling the truth."
"Besides, it never hurts for us to learn a little more, don't you think?"
Luo Qingfeng couldn't stand it anymore: "We are about the same age, right? Why do I feel like I'm listening to a middle-aged man talking when you speak? It's full of age."
“Trying to persuade a child who doesn’t like to study is like being too lazy when you are young and regretting it when you are old.”
Nie Jianxi was stunned for a moment, "Really?"
Luo Qingfeng nodded vigorously and sought Qiu Tingxu's approval.
Qiu Tingxu scratched his head: "Although, I think what Nie Jianxi said is right, it's a matter of life and death."
Luo Qingfeng was stunned: "Could it be that you two have traveled from the future? In fact, you are both in your forties or fifties?"
Qiu Tingxu rolled his eyes and said, "Stop talking nonsense. You can't avoid it. Just accept your fate."
Luo Qingfeng also rolled his eyes: "Who said I can't avoid it? My fate is in my own hands!"
Qiu Tingxu rushed over and grabbed the man's throat, then pulled him out: "You are not as good as the sky, come out!"
After saying that, he looked at Nie Jianxi again: "Where are you going?"
Nie Jianxi: "Go to the base. We have a base. From now on, no one can enter except the eight of us."
Qiu Tingxu then asked: "By the way, where is the eighth person?"
Nie Jianxi: "He will appear when we need him."
Qiu Tingxu was puzzled, "Who will teach us then?"
Nie Jianxi: "Yan Shu will teach us how to upgrade our body functions, and I will teach you metaphysical knowledge. If possible, Han Yun will also teach you some basic self-help knowledge."
Qiu Tingxu looked around but didn't see Han Yun. He asked Yan Shu, who was frowning, "Where's Brother Han?"
Yan Shu's brows were gloomy and he seemed to be in a bad mood.
"He is not willing to come and live with me, and he also said that he has to go to work. If he has time, he can participate in the mission. If he doesn't have time, you can go by yourselves. It's up to you."
Qiu Tingxu looked at Nie Jianxi and winked, "Didn't you say that Brother Han was also your companion? Why didn't you deal with it?"
Nie Jianxi smiled helplessly and led them all to his room. "Brother Yun just has a hard time accepting that he has seen ghosts so frequently recently. He feels that his faith has been collapsing and needs time to accept it. It's not that he doesn't want to treat us as partners."
"He'll be fine after a while, so we can just go first."
Yan Shu was unhappy: "No, why should I be arranged too?"
Nie Jianxi smiled: "Brother Yan, it was your father who agreed to lend you to us. He said that if you want to be with Brother Yun, you have to follow me."
Yan Shu said gloomily: "What can I do if I don't listen to you? I only accompanied you to see the South Bridge last time because I was interested. Do you really think you have us in your hands?"
Nie Jianxi shook his head: "I never wanted to control you, I just wanted us all to be well."
Yan Shu said impatiently: "You and your grandfather both talk in a mysterious way. I don't understand what you say. Why don't you explain it more clearly?"
Nie Jianxi thought for a moment and said, "I can't explain it clearly. You can only watch, think and act on your own."
Yan Shu drooped his eyebrows and said coldly, "Listen to what you said. Those who engage in pyramid schemes are more serious than you."
Nie Jianxi smiled and said, "Brother Yan, I have no other choice. My soul has not yet been fully consolidated. Revealing the secrets will cause great harm to me. I am not afraid of death, but I cannot die now."
Yan Shu tutted and kicked the foot of Nie Jianxi's bed. "You're talking as if I'm forcing you to die. Alright, alright, do what you want to do. I want to see what the hell you're up to."
Among the other six people, except Nie Jianxi, probably only Qiu Tingxu vaguely knew why Nie Jianxi was so obsessed with bringing them together.
He still remembered that the novel said Nie Jianxi and another male protagonist were the saviors of this world, but they failed.
He had no idea what he went through or how much time it took.
It's very strange. Logically speaking, if anyone is going to travel through time, it should be his roommate who has read the original novel, right?
Why was it unreasonable to let him wear it? Just because of the same name?
You're totally screwing over my balls.
He took a look at what he was doing and followed Xu Yansheng's voice, and decided to swallow back his resentment of scolding the author.
Okay, at least I gave him a partner.
Apart from being a bit too white and black, being a spoiled brat, being love-brained, and having skin hunger... it seems that there is no other problem.
Nie Jianxi is now somewhat isolated and helpless, and Wen Langchun did not object to his arrangement only because he had predicted his family affairs last time.
Luo Qingfeng more or less considered Yue'er's situation before reluctantly agreeing to this job where ghosts would often appear.
It was obvious that Yan Shu and Han Yun didn't want to listen to Nie Jianxi.
The protagonist group has a long way to go to save the world.
Qiu Tingxu was silent for a while, then said, "I believe in Nie Jianxi's judgment, but I can't help him persuade you. You can observe first, and then consider whether to trust him or not."
"Brother Yan, you are training the national defense students in school anyway, so just treat us as your own soldiers and destroy us as much as you want."
"As for Brother Yun, he is the kindest person. When it comes to the mission, he will definitely go with us, even if it means he can save one person."
Yan Shu looked at him in surprise and said, "You know him well. He really saves as many people as he can."
Qiu Tingxu grinned: "So why should we think so much about it? Anyway, we have a salary, so we can just think of it as a part-time job while going to school."
Yan Shu touched his chin and thought this made sense. "I feel much better now that you put it that way. Nie Jianxi's EQ seems a bit low. He made the cooperation to make money sound like a threat. It's not pleasant to hear."
Nie Jianxi blushed slightly, which was rare for her. She had a beautiful face to begin with, and her blushing face made her even more beautiful.
"I'm sorry, I haven't communicated with many people since I was a child, and I'm not very good at speaking. I hope you can forgive me."
Yan Shu narrowed his eyes and looked at him, and said generously: "Forget it, since you really grew up in the mountains, I won't argue with you. In the future, learn more from Qiu Tingxu, he is a cunning ghost."
Nie Jianxi looked at Qiu Tingxu, only to see him blink his eyes and say with his lips: "It's okay, take your time."
He is always very rigid and has a lot of great truths in his mind, but often he cannot express them well.
When it comes to really wanting his friends to help him, it sounds like he is giving orders or threats.
No wonder, no wonder it took them so long to get along with each other before they could barely become partners in such troubled times.
Now that there is another Qiu Tingxu and Xu Yansheng, things will change, right?
It's bound to change, right?
