Chapter 183

Things went so smoothly that it was beyond Yu Tu's expectations.

Kunlun Mountain Master Shixu was willing to hire him as a teacher at Kunlun. The only question was how many years he was prepared to be employed for.

Yu Tu struggled with the sound transmission note for a while, and finally chose one year.

One year should be enough time for him to figure out the secrets deep inside the Kunlun Mountains.

Shi Xu's image in the comics is aloof and taciturn, and she is as efficient in her work. The two of them finalized a series of processes almost at the speed of light. It took no more than ten minutes from the beginning to the end, and Yu Tu became Kunlun's new teacher who would take office in the second half of the year.

After discussing the matter, Shi Xu confirmed that he had no other questions or requests, and then he said goodbye directly using the pinching technique to send the message, which was even more skillful than the one Yu Tu had used on Liu Jia before.

The whole communication was without any nonsense or politeness, and the main focus was on business. No words were spoken.

The sound transmission note has gone out, but Yu Tu still feels a sense of unreality.

How did he suddenly transform from a student into a teacher?

The sense of crisis suddenly surged. Although it would be very convenient for a teacher to go to school to check this and that, he couldn't mislead the students, right?

Learn! You must study harder!

If Yu Tu's emotions could be visualized now, there would definitely be a raging flame burning behind him, and a strap with the four big words "Come on, fight hard" written on it would appear on his head.

This burning high spirits continued until he returned to school and received shocking news from Hao Zhizhi.

"Tu Tu?" Hao Zhizhi waved her hand in front of him, "Yu Tu? What's wrong with you?"

"Next year, Miller will send students to Kunlun as exchange students..." Yu Tu's voice almost choked, "Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"

It is inconvenient to check the student's identity, but it is less stressful! If he had known that he could go to the school as an exchange student, he would not have recommended himself.

"It is said that this matter was also decided by the school in the past few days." Hao Zhizhi patted his shoulder, "Normally, we have to wait until we finish our sophomore year and junior year to become exchange students, but now it is a year earlier."

She said optimistically: "Isn't this great? Maybe we can be exchange students twice before graduation!"

"Yes, it's very good." Yu Tu couldn't laugh.

"Let me tell you another piece of gossip that is said to be very reliable." Hao Zhizhi is indeed the "know-it-all" in her grade. She lowered her voice and said, "It seems that a new teacher will be coming to Kunlun in the second half of the year."

You know, Kunlun hasn’t had a new teacher for more than ten years!

Yu Tu: “…”

He was disheartened: "You won't tell me... that the new teacher is the Marquis of Nevernight, right?"

"Tu Tu, you are well-informed!" Hao Zhizhi's eyes flashed with surprise at first, and then she quickly understood, "Senior Buyehou is your elder, you must know more than me!"

She nudged Yu Tu's shoulder with her elbow and asked curiously, "Is it true?"

Yu Tu nodded heavily.

"Hiss—" Hao Zhizhi quietly took a breath of cool air, "Could this be the reason why the school arranged for us to be exchange students a year in advance?"

Yu Tu: "Not really. I think the new teacher just happened to coincide with the school's arrangement."

He was just a tea tree seedling about one meter tall and could not carry such a heavy pot!

Hao Zhizhi: "People should dare to imagine boldly!"

Yu Tu: "I am not a human, I am a tea tree seedling."

Hao Zhizhi: “…”

Killed with one strike.

They were discussing the issue of the new teacher. Gu Hongying, who usually took an active part in every topic and had a lively personality, was unusually silent this time. Although he was eating, it was obvious that he was absent-minded.

"Gu Hongying?" Hao Zhizhi asked curiously, "Didn't you realize that what you just ate wasn't a potato?"

Gu Hongying chewed the huge piece of ginger as if he didn’t see it!

After being reminded, Gu Hongying realized that what he had just eaten was not a potato, but a potato assassin! His expression twisted instantly, and after swallowing it with difficulty, he began to gulp down the soup, trying to suppress the ginger taste in his mouth.

Yu Tu and Hao Zhizhi silently pushed their untouched soup towards Gu Hongying.

Yu Tu: "You look really weird today."

Hao Zhizhi: "I agree."

Gu Hongying was always lively and cheerful, and rarely looked absent-minded. Because of the assassin's attack just now, his expression became more lively, but still shrouded in gloom.

Gu Hongying sighed: "I haven't been able to contact my mother for more than a month."

"Does it sound a bit strange to say that?" Facing the concerned eyes of his friends, Gu Hongying scratched his hair, his irritable voice filled with depression, "When I was a child, they often went out. Once they were out, they would lose contact for a long time. When I asked them why, they told me seriously that they were 'going to save the world'. Over the years, I have gotten used to it."

"In fact, the time we lost contact this time was not that long. There were longer times before," said Gu Hongying. "But this time I just felt very panicked. I can't explain why."

Books often say that people sometimes have sudden inspiration, which is actually a kind of induction. People with psychic powers not only have their five senses doubled, but their sixth sense is also greatly enhanced. Once a "sudden inspiration" occurs, it is often accurate to a certain extent.

When Gu Hongying said that he couldn't contact Gu Xingzhu, Yu Tu suddenly remembered a scene a long time ago - on the day of the month-long holiday in February, he went to the Alien Bureau through the Chongming City Branch's teleportation array to meet [Jing]. When he looked at the lobby on the first floor from the corridor, he saw that the person leading the teleportation array corresponding to the purple anomaly was Gu Xingzhu.

And now, it's almost April.

Hao Zhizhi comforted him: "Maybe Aunt Gu is on a long mission, so she can't contact you."

The top ten special teams usually put out fires all over the country and carry out the most dangerous missions. Normally, a mission will not last too long, but there are also more troublesome situations where they can be stuck for a long time.

Gu Hongying made a bitter face: "It is because her job is dangerous that I am worried now!"

Corresponding to the perfect welfare of the Alien Bureau is the equally high casualty rate. No one knows which will come first, tomorrow or an accident.

"I saw Aunt Gu on the day of the monthly holiday in February." Yu Tu thought about it and told the truth, "That day I saw the teleportation array on the first floor of the mission hall representing the purple mutation, and the person leading the team was Aunt Gu."

Gu Hongying's parents are both in the Alien Bureau. After he turned 18, his parents no longer avoided him from getting involved in these things. Gu Hongying knows no less than Yu Tu, and he knows very well what the purple mutation means.

Gu Hongying: "Purple mutation?!"

He was already worried, and now he became even more restless. Gu Hongying took out his watch and wanted to ask for leave in a hurry, but after swiping the watch a few times, he suddenly stopped.

Confusion, doubt, joy, relaxation... a series of emotions were clearly written on Gu Hongying's face.

"Phew~ I was scared to death." Gu Hongying turned off his watch. "Ten minutes ago, my mother sent me an email saying that she had returned from a mission, but had a new mission to take. She asked me to contact her after the new mission was completed and asked me not to bombard her with phone calls and text messages, or fill up her inbox with emails."

"That's good. It saves you from worrying every day." Hao Zhizhi patted his shoulder carelessly and exchanged glances with Yu Tu.

Gu Hongying, who was immersed in joy, might not have noticed it at this time, but as bystanders of this incident, they both felt that it was too coincidental.

When Gu Hongying was worried to the point of being unable to sit still, this email came like timely rain, just at the right time.

They didn't want to think of things in a bad way, this time the coincidence was really too much.

Hao Zhizhi sent a message to Yu Tu using her watch:

【I hope we are overthinking this. 】

Yu Tu watched Gu Hongying immediately regain his cheerfulness after receiving the email, and replied silently:

【I hope so.】

After lunch, he attended classes in the afternoon. In the evening, Yu Tu made a night study plan for himself and then changed into the Marquis of Never Night.

Since Tian Yan resumed updating, the update schedule has become irregular. Sometimes an episode is very long, and sometimes it is very short.

Yu Tu has developed a habit of flipping through comics in the teahouse every day to see if there are any new ones—the inner world cannot receive any signals from the outer world, so he cannot read comics.

This time when I opened the comic website X, Tianyan unexpectedly posted an update, and it was a double update. The last update was their midterm exam, which was divided into two parts, one theory and one practical.

Teacher Olivia handed everyone a test paper. Yes, not one paper, but a whole roll. When you open the test paper, the whole length is three meters, which makes you feel dizzy.

The test paper is equipped with various dense protective measures such as anti-prying magic array and secret shielding magic array to prevent all cheating.

Yu Tu still remembers the comic readers' happiness and joy when the exam scene came out.

[I was really stunned by the severity of this exam...]

[What kind of school has a midterm exam paper that is three meters long and double-sided!]

[Anti-peeping array - prevent students from peeking at other people's test papers; Secret Shielding Array - prevent students from using various metaphysical methods to calculate the answers... So the only way left is to answer the questions well?]

[The strictness of the exam is indeed heartbreaking, but luckily I’m not a student of Millerkel’s, hahaha———]

[If one day this kind of examination method of stacking test papers on magic circles were introduced to the real world...]

[My friend above, what kind of ghost story are you telling?]

At the end of the last update, teacher Olivia announced with a gloomy face that eight people had failed. The mermaid was just fine, but when she was holding the report card, a solid black gas came out from behind her.

This update starts with the magic streets.

In Tianyan's writing, the first thing that appears is an extremely magnificent square. Magic shops with strange shapes and colorful colors are distributed around the square. Many magicians wearing colorful magic robes are walking in the shops. Some are holding a cool broom, some are talking to flying elves, and some are choosing wands through the window...

The scene full of details slowly zoomed out, and the shots gradually merged into a complete picture. At the top of the square, the words "Magic Street" were shining.

Below the name, there is a row of equally shining road signs, and above the road signs there is a line of cursive characters—

【Welcome to the magic world. 】
