Xia Ying and Yan Tao finished reading the system message at the same time.
They stood up directly, their expressions somewhat serious, which made the young master of the Lu family standing beside them quite nervous.
To be fair, Lu Yuanbo was very curious about what had happened.
Especially for the glowing little gadget in the immortal's hand, he wanted to lean over and take a look.
But he finally controlled himself and bowed with great propriety: "Thank you for your guidance, Immortal. I would like to teach my tribe what I have learned today."
Yan Tao just noticed that there was an indigenous person standing here.
So she immediately turned around and said with a smile: "Okay, go ahead and come back to class tomorrow morning."
Lu Yuanbai replied "yes", but before leaving, he couldn't help but ask, "I wonder how my progress is today?"
Yan Tao didn't hesitate to praise him, especially since this top scholar was indeed intelligent and had a photographic memory. Without hesitation, she said, "Very good! You learn much faster than most people."
Lu Yuanbai slowly smiled.
Yan Tao: "Now we have almost caught up with the progress of the three-year-old children in the tribe. Tomorrow we will learn the progress of the four-year-olds."
Lu Yuanbai's smile gradually disappeared.
Fortunately, the young master of the Lu family had a good attitude. He quickly adjusted himself and respectfully said goodbye.
After he left, the two Langyun students trotted towards Teacher Bian together.
Teacher Bian didn't need them to speak. After the two of them stood close to him, he said directly: "I'm going back to school."
Xia Ying asked in surprise: "Teacher, have you completed your mission?"
Teacher Bian smiled and said, "Not yet, but construction here will take time. I can use this time to go back and discuss the future planning of the grassland with other teachers." He paused slightly, "What about you guys?"
Xia Ying did not answer immediately, but took out his mobile phone to look through his task list.
Yan Tao was straightforward: "I probably won't be able to go back. The sheep, cattle, and rabbits here are just beginning to be intensively bred, and the herders haven't yet fully mastered scientific grazing methods. I want to stay here with my classmates. Otherwise, I'm afraid that by the time we return, the grass here will have been gnawed bare by those furry creatures, and it will be difficult to repair it then."
Xia Ying also made a decision: "I'm afraid I can't leave either. As a doctor, I have to ensure the safety of everyone here."
Teacher Bian: "So you plan to celebrate the New Year on the grassland?"
Yan Tao: "Sure."
Xia Ying: "That's fine with me too."
After saying this, Yan Tao looked at him in confusion.
Just now this person was just following what he said, and now he is doing the same thing again, always saying "also", as if his decision on whether to stay or go depends on his own decision.
Weird.
Teacher Bian didn't force them. Instead, he looked at them with satisfaction. "It's a good thing you're working so hard. Don't worry, I'll record everything that happens in school. If the system picks up any signals related to you, I'll keep an eye on it."
The two students smiled and said thank you, and Teacher Bian did not waste any time and prepared to leave.
But before he left the grassland, he went to see the tribe leader Tana and said directly: "I want to go back to Langyun."
No cause or consequence was mentioned.
Because he believed that Tana would not interfere with him casually.
Sure enough, Tana didn't ask anything, but just smiled and wished the immortal a safe journey and provided protection.
Among the guards, there was one person who stood out from the crowd.
He is tall and his beard has grown back. He can be recognized as the barbarian Chiwu by his iconic hair color.
Teacher Bian also didn't ask any more questions and took his people away.
The young man Babu looked at their departing figures eagerly and asked, "Chief, why do you want Chiwu to leave?"
Tana patted his head: "Why, you can't bear to leave?"
Babu nodded calmly: "A little bit."
Logically speaking, the grassland people and the barbarians should be mortal enemies.
But just as Babu said before, they have clear grudges and their hatred has been settled with General Wu, so although they will not treat the barbarians in a friendly way, they will not fight to the death.
Chiwu and Babu had once teamed up to cheat people together, and they often interacted with each other, so it was not an exaggeration to say that they were friends.
At this moment, Babu muttered softly, "I promised him that when there were more people in the prison, he wouldn't have to carry bricks anymore and could find another job. But now he's gone before he even found a job."
Tana didn't expect the two of them to end up together, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she explained, "Letting him go is the best thing I can do for him."
Babu looked up: "Chief, I don't understand."
Tana looked at the team that had already gone far away: "It's not safe for him to stay on the grassland."
Babu's body stiffened: "Chief, are you going to kill him?"
Tana replied, "I saved his life before and never thought of taking it away again. As long as he keeps it a secret, it will be fine. But if the news of him staying on the grassland spreads, the Barbarian Kingdom will notice and his life will be gone."
The people Chiwu pledged allegiance to were enemies of the Barbarian King, and if they were discovered they would be killed.
So Tana said, "It would be better to send him to Dechang County and let the county governor there make arrangements. He's farther away from the grasslands, where trade is more prosperous, and his identity can be better concealed."
Babu was really surprised at this moment: "Team Leader actually thought so much about Chi Wu."
Tana: "Actually, it's for our own good. Chiwu knows a lot, not only about our affairs, but also about the Barbarian Kingdom. It's best to live in peace now, but if there is a dispute in the future, Chiwu will be a good opportunity to take advantage."
Babu blinked, trying to understand the words of his family leader with his young head.
What this means is, let him be an undercover of an undercover?
It’s a bit complicated…
Although Chiwu didn't know Tana's specific thoughts, he still followed her away obediently.
When they were close to Dechang County, the grassland guards escorted Chiwu into the city. Teacher Bian didn't want to go in, but just waited outside the city gate.
Not long after, Bian Yuhang came out riding a horse like the wind.
Teacher Bian hadn't seen his son for several months. He knew that he was busy building the track from Qi to Zhou, and it was very hard work. As a father, he was heartbroken. Seeing Bian Yuhang's bumpy ride, the usually calm and composed Teacher Bian showed a rare look of surprise and hurriedly said, "Slow down, don't fall!"
Bian Yuhang skillfully controlled the horse and stopped beside the carriage. He waved at the window and said hello, "Dad."
Teacher Bian handed over the water and said gently, "Why did you think of riding a horse? Haven't you already made a mechanical means of transportation?"
Bian Yuhang replied obediently, "The main source of power now is still the steam engine, which is relatively large. For personal transportation, bicycles are still the main means. Compared to that, I prefer horses."
"Why?"
“You don’t have to pedal yourself.”
...is very real.
Afterwards, the group went to Fengwei Mountain.
Perhaps it is because most of them are engaged in engineering, they rarely have days off when they are away, and they rarely have the opportunity to return to school, so they feel a little unfamiliar with the way back to school.
It's not because they have poor directions, but because the changes are really big...
This time their journey into the mountains was very smooth.
Compared to the previous hardship of crossing mountains and hills, a road has now been built on Fengwei Mountain.
There are winding mountain roads, cave tunnels, and you can even see people building slide rails.
The people in charge of the construction were all dressed as indigenous people, and everyone was very dedicated.
One student had obviously been away from school for a long time and hadn't expected the changes here. He said in surprise, "There's actually a passage... Didn't we say we should be cautious before?"
Bian Yuhang replied without hesitation, "We were cautious before because the school was isolated and unfamiliar with everything around us. For safety reasons, we naturally had to make the road into the mountains a little winding, preferably with natural barriers at every turn, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. But now it's different. Communication has increased. If it's as difficult as before, we will suffer. Moreover, the system's protective wall has been tested and is safe enough, so there is no need to worry."
Someone else asked: "But why are these indigenous people willing to help us build it?"
This time it was Teacher Bian who spoke: "They have something to ask of Langyun, so naturally they have to work harder. Besides, I'm afraid they took the initiative to ask us to build this."
Several students looked at each other, with "I don't understand" written all over their faces.
Teacher Bian said gently, "Wherever the students from Langyun go to build something, they paint the words 'If you want to get rich, build roads first' on the walls. The locals will naturally know this. Fengwei Mountain is located at the junction of several countries. Whoever builds a road to their country first will benefit first. Of course, we must work hard to compete with each other."
A student raised his hand: "What about us?"
Bian Yuhang: "Provide technology, provide drawings, and provide design."
Teacher Bian: “Then cheer them on.”
Students: ...Oh.
And they arrived in Langyun before dark.
Including the time spent on the road, the three-day period will soon be up.
Teacher Bian and his son did not delay and went directly to the Student Union meeting room.
At this time, someone was already waiting inside.
People from the student union, teachers, and people majoring in physics are all on high alert, always preparing for the annual "Time Travel Research Conference."
Teacher Bian and Bian Yuhang simultaneously fixed their eyes on Kun Jingming who was sitting in the corner.
Wasn't this man torturing... well, teaching the young princes in the Qi palace in the capital of Qi? Why is he back?
Feeling the gazes of the Bian family father and son, Kun Jingming looked up, then stood up and quietly sat down next to them, saying softly, "I came back this time with Prince Yun of Qi. It just so happens that you are also familiar with the situation in Zhou State, so let's have a meeting together later."
Bian Yuhang: "What meeting?"
Kun Jingming: "Qi and Zhou are about to form an alliance."
This is not a new thing, but the alliance has to be discussed in Langyun. It is obvious that they have something to ask of the school.
Having a request means having a task.
Suddenly, the sound of points being credited to my account rang in my ears.
Bian Yuhang nodded immediately and a smile appeared on his face.
Teacher Bian asked, "What is this capture signal the system is talking about? Is it the same live broadcast as last time?"
Kun Jingming shook his head: "I don't know yet, but judging from the information revealed by the system, it may be textual in nature, or perhaps there are also items."
Teacher Bian frowned slightly.
The reason he returned to school was that he wanted to take this opportunity to learn about the situation in the original world.
After all, digging up a school along with its foundation is no small matter.
Besides, he also misses his wife a little bit, and wonders if there will be any news this time...
Thinking of this, Teacher Bian turned his head and looked at Bian Yuhang.
As a result, I saw my son lying on the table writing and drawing.
Teacher Bian looked over and asked, "What are you doing?"
Bian Yuhang said honestly: "Doing homework."
I thought my father would praise me for my diligence, but when I looked up, I saw Teacher Bian, who looked very disappointed with me: "As a student, why are you always thinking about doing homework? What's the point?"
Bian Yuhang: Hmm...hmm?
Why is it different from what I expected?
Teacher Bian didn't even need him to answer, and asked, "Dad took you out to let you study hard?"
Bian Yuhang: "...No, isn't it?"
Teacher Bian: "Of course not! It's to help you gain more experience so that when you return home, you can find a good job and, ideally, a partner."
Bian Yuhang: "Isn't this a bit too straightforward?"
Teacher Bian: "Think making money and finding a partner are too straightforward? Let me put it another way: Dad hopes you can find your own career and beautiful love."
Bian Yuhang: ...
Put this way, it sounds much more reasonable.
But I just feel like something is wrong.
Just then, other teachers came and called Teacher Bian over to discuss.
So, Teacher Bian patted his son on the shoulder and said earnestly: "You can do your homework anytime. There's no rush. If you really can't, Dad can help you."
……oh.
Bian Yuhang was still a little confused and agreed almost subconsciously, even unconsciously bowing according to the etiquette of Qi State.
He didn't come back to his senses until Teacher Bian left.
Then, he sat there with a complicated expression, silent for a long time.
Kun Jingming, who was looking at his phone, looked up at him and said calmly, "What are you thinking about?"
Bian Yuhang was silent for a moment before he said, "I don't quite understand what my dad means..."
Although Kun Jingming didn't have a close relationship with Teacher Bian, he could hear the deeper meaning behind his words. He said, "I think if it were any other student, Teacher Gong would definitely urge them to study hard and make progress every day. But you're different. You're already excellent enough, so you should do more and contribute to the college's goal of achieving points."
“Isn’t studying considered doing things?”
“It’s different.”
As he spoke, Kun Jingming took out his mobile phone, opened the task list, and enlarged the points reward section.
Bian Yuhang walked forward.
Then Kun Jingming said, "It's been nearly four years since we traveled through time. In other words, even the newest students would have graduated by now, so we need to change our mindsets."
Bian Yuhang thought for a moment and said, "You mean, start working?"
Kun Jingming said calmly: "You can work or continue your studies, but given the current situation, learning while working is the best solution." As he spoke, he tapped the screen of his mobile phone again.
Bian Yuhang looked over.
As an economics student, he is very sensitive to numbers, and it was the same now.
After just a quick glance, he immediately grasped the key point: "It seems that compared to before, the system upgrade has reduced the weight of points related to on-campus learning, while the weight of points for off-campus construction has increased significantly."
Kun Jingming smiled and said, "Yes, that's right. It seems the system is also calculating time and encouraging us to work hard to find a job."
Bian Yuhang: "A system from another dimension is actually worried about the employment problems of college students?"
This time, it was the system's mechanical voice that spoke: [You're welcome.]
Bian Yuhang: ...
After this system was upgraded, I don’t know about other things, but the morale of Pilipi has increased significantly.
Kun Jingming was not distracted by the two of them and quickly continued, "In that case, we still have to go out. After all, the purpose of learning is to apply what we learn. If we don't do research, then we can go out and do things. This way, we can advance the progress of this dimension and get home earlier."
"Do you still want to do the tasks at school?"
"Of course. We must treat all tasks equally and uphold the school's fine principle of 'not failing to do something just because it's worth a small score.'"
"...How come I didn't know Langyun had this school rule?"
Kun Jingming lowered his head and fiddled with his phone for a while, then said, "Now I have it."
Then, Bian Yuhang received a reminder about the update of school rules.
...Okay.
After a moment of silence, Bian Yuhang finally raised his ultimate question: "But if everyone goes on missions, how will we complete the learning tasks in school?"
Kun Jingming looked up at him, and suddenly, he smiled slowly. "That depends on the skills of each profession," he paused, "For example, the indigenous people are a very important part."
Bian Yuhang: "? What do you mean?"
Kun Jingming didn't look at him again. Instead, he took out his phone and called his classmate directly. "Gather the students from Qi and Zhou later and tell them that each of them must write a paper on the ancient books of Langyun, no less than 5,000 words, punctuation not included, and submit it within three days."
Then, he did not hang up the phone, but asked his classmates to inform those students, while Kun Jingming seemed to be waiting for something patiently.
Before long, cheers could be heard coming from the opposite side.
Even though it was not broadcast publicly, Bian Yuhang could still hear the sounds inside.
"Finally, I have received guidance from Kunxianjun!"
"I want to read ancient books about fairyland by Li Bai!"
“I want to write about Lu Xun!”
"Then I want to write about Zhou Shuren!"
"...Aren't you two the same person?"
Kun Jingming nodded, looking very satisfied, and slowly hung up the phone.
Next second.
Ding!
A crisp voice came into Bian Yuhang's ears, and then he saw that the task list had changed.
[College of Arts mission has been triggered: Complete ancient book papers 0/30].
Bian Yuhang was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked at classmate Kun.
The man smiled peacefully and spoke in a gentle voice: "So, the indigenous people are pretty good. They can issue tasks and complete them. How great."
Bian Yuhang: …???
