Chapter 37 Back

Cui Tong's question left many students confused.

“Does this question have to be answered?”

"Of course." Cui Tong nodded decisively.

"Is there any similarity between the monthly salary of a university professor and that of a spiritual master?"

"You need to give me an answer to this question first." Cui Tong said in a calm tone.

The students looked around and finally focused their attention on Cui Tong.

One of the more active students raised his hand and said, "It's hard to say whether it's high or low. It depends on who you compare it with. If it's the same as those in the entertainment industry, then it's definitely lower. But if you compare it with professors at the same university, then you can really measure whether the salary of university professors is low or not."

"You're right." Cui Tong nodded decisively. "Since you also know that the monthly salary of university professors can only be compared with that of university professors, then why do you think that you must compare yourself with those wealthy and powerful ordinary people?"

"High school is the most important time for you to learn, and it is also the best time to understand spiritual teachers."

"I never ask students to become spiritualists in the future. You need to understand the spiritualist identity and everything about the spirits, just because you have awakened to become spiritualists. This means that you have the opportunity to enter this world, but entering this world does not mean that you must stay in this world for a long time."

"The three years of high school missions are just like ordinary students studying hard, eager to enter a good school. Maybe you think you are rare and valuable, but are you rare?"

Most of the students in the Department of Paranormal Science disliked Cui Tong. As for An Lai, they didn't know much about him. They only knew that An Lai mostly managed logistics, but not all students knew his specific abilities and identities, as well as why he always stayed in the office.

What he said was useless, especially in An Lai's heart, he had to consider the hidden prophetic ability of He Jingtong.

Considering too much, An Lai couldn't do what Cui Tong did. While considering the bad situation, he also thought that even if the students raised questions, as long as the problems were solved, Fu Zexun's behavior would not matter.

"Everyone knows that studying hard is for finding a good job in the future. You have just entered the world of the supernatural. Why do you think that a few thousand dollars is not money?"

"Ordinary people need nine years of compulsory education to acquire the basic concepts of judging the world, which is the so-called three perspectives. How can you think that you can fully understand the rules of another world in just three years after receiving nine years of indoctrination in the ordinary world?"

"Compared to your fellow spiritualists, what do you think you are? A simple example is the scene where He Jingtong and Fu Zexun controlled the spirits fighting. Do you think you can be as decisive as He Jingtong?"

"Yes, that's right. We are all curious about his sources and channels of information, but getting answers from him is not something he would respond to for sure."

"That's his stuff. What you need to understand is that someone like Fu Zexun has once again targeted your classmates, and he may target you next time."

Cui Tong looked around and saw that many of his classmates were in tense postures.

Thinking about things simply and thinking about things extremely complicatedly are both not-so-bad choices.

But if they think of things as neither simple nor complicated, but somewhere in the middle, neither up nor down, it only means that they are being fooled like toys, but they still don't know what they have been through.

"If you really care about the benefits, then you should also think that it is only after becoming a university professor that they have the ability to give lectures outside the school and earn extra compensation through giving lectures."

"Ability, reputation, actual value, doing ordinary tasks that were carefully selected by the Spiritual Master APP, but want to get the income of the top spiritual masters?"

"Wake up, the school never owes you anything. The school provides you with spiritual education, and you constitute the school's basic event-solving module. After you have completed one ordinary task after another, graduated, entered university, and received four years of secondary education in university, you will be qualified to say that you made too little in the past."

"And this city has never been maintained only by you."

After seeing many students lost in thought, Cui Tong clapped his hands and said again: "Speaking of which, this incident was also a coincidence. I was originally planning to apply to the higher-ups to let you follow your seniors who have already graduated to experience a truly dangerous situation..."

"Now I think there is no need to apply step by step. Just go through the green channel and let you officially start work. Only then can you squeeze out the excess water from your water-filled heads like a sponge."

Cui Tong spoke very bluntly, but he did not think that his words could make all the children understand.

There are always people who nitpick, and there are always people who, because of Fu Zexun's words, have preconceived ideas and will not believe anything others say. But no matter what, Cui Tong did what a dean of studies should do.

He stabilized those wavering students and also strengthened the hearts of those who were already determined.

As a teacher, Cui Tong guides students to grow not only in strength but also in cognition.

The follow-up matters were handed over to Qu Shu and the third-grade class teacher, Xijun. Afterwards, Cui Tong did what he said, "Let the students experience real danger" and wrote a report and submitted it.

In conjunction with the report on recent events in the academy, these two reports were delivered to the highest decision-makers almost immediately.

The review process was just as Cui Tong said, like a green channel, and the results were given that afternoon.

The green channel gave a green result, and the two big words "Passed" were stamped above the applicant's name on the document, which is also the title area of ​​the application.

The specific details need to be discussed separately. The senior management said that they need some time to communicate with those who have already graduated.

There are indeed many people who are willing to provide their juniors with a job where they can experience the dangers of society in advance, but not everyone is willing to take on the responsibility of questioning their peers.

Anyone with some knowledge can find out what happened in the college. The wanted warrant for Fu Zexun is still out there. It doesn't make sense that those who haven't graduated wouldn't pay attention to it.

As a result, Cui Tong received many calls of condolence.

——As things stand, this class of students is really difficult to lead.

Cui Tong was so angry that he laughed when he heard the words coming from the other end of the phone. After hanging up the phone, he used the Spirit Master app to send a message in the large group where students from three grades of the Paranormal Department were.

"I'll have a rest in the afternoon and go to class tomorrow. During the National Day in October, I'll officially start my internship as a high school student spiritualist."

Qu Shu and Lu Xijun each sent a "received" message, while on the students' side, the number of "received" messages was sparse, with only a few "received" messages appearing occasionally.

Most of them just play dead, not daring to reply, nor being too embarrassed to reply.

Back to He Jingtong, the three of them looked at the messages in the group together in the afternoon and were confused.

Jian Zirui was happy: "I thought I was going to skip classes on the first day of school. I've never done anything so cool in all my life."

"How can skipping classes be considered cool?" Qi Xueyi's forehead vein twitched. "Also, I also want to know what the 'Future Professionalization Internship for High School Student Spiritual Masters' is about to start in October?"

Jian Zirui raised her mobile phone to show her communication interface. She directly sent this question to Cui Tong, who quickly replied, saying that it was exactly what it said.

And explained in detail what this literal meaning means.

To put it simply, internships that were originally only available to college students will now be started directly in high school.

These words made Jian Zirui confused. She looked at Qi Xueyi and He Jingtong.

It’s not that I can’t understand it, but... I don’t want to accept it, how hateful!

He Jingtong covered his face with his hands, his expression was a bit difficult to explain: "It means that trainee spiritualists do not need to be adults. As minors, we will feel the social pressure after graduation in October in advance."

Qi Xueyi's expression was not very good either, mainly because he was really disgusted: "Maybe Lao Cui wants us to experience the working atmosphere more?"

"But I can't convince myself with this argument at all." Qi Xueyi slapped his forehead hard and took a deep breath.

"I feel suffocated." There was a sense of confusion as if the brain went blank due to lack of oxygen.

But no matter how isolated you are, you have to go back to the dormitory.

The three people who had stayed in the infirmary for a whole day, when they walked downstairs to the dormitory, they saw that many dormitories had their lights on. However, although the lights were on, no one came to wait for He Jingtong, and no one really ran up to him and talked to him self-righteously.

Qi Xueyi and Jian Zirui both breathed a sigh of relief.

Before Jian Zirui walked towards the girls' dormitory building, she waved to her two teammates and said, "The normal class time for the Paranormal Department is no different from that for ordinary students. It's still 8 am. You two remember to arrive early."

"I'll remember it. I won't forget it."

"I see."

After they separated, Qi Xueyi and He Jingtong returned to their own rooms. However, since their rooms were next to each other, they said to each other at the door before they parted: "If anyone talks too much tomorrow, I'll tear his mouth to pieces." and "Do you need me to wake you up tomorrow morning?"

Then both of them were stunned.

"Why do you want to tear other people's mouths apart?" He Jingtong was about to turn the doorknob, but suddenly stopped. He looked at Qi Xueyi beside him with a puzzled look on his face.

Qi Xueyi also looked at him in disbelief: "I have been studying in the paranormal department for a whole year. Do you really think I will be late?"

After he finished speaking, Qi Xueyi asked again: "I will answer first, or you?"

He Jingtong: "Please."

"I cannot accept my teammates being slandered by others. If my classmates are bad-mouthed, I definitely care more about you and Jian Zirui than them. And when I say tear their mouths, I don't mean to really tear their mouths. I'm not that bad-mannered. It just means that I won't let them go."

"Before school started, you didn't get a good rest because you were worried that I would get hurt from extra training at night, right? The dark circles under your eyes in recent days are much more serious than before you met me. Of course, if you need instant coffee, you can borrow some from Teacher Anlai. I asked you if I needed you to wake you up just to prevent you from being late on the second day of school because you woke up late."

"Okay, let's stop talking about this topic." Qi Xueyi made an OK gesture.

Because their rooms were next to each other, they would suddenly stop talking just when they were about to open the door and go in.

At this moment, Qi Xueyi's other ear, which He Jingtong could not see, turned red uncontrollably.

It’s not that I have any weird ideas, it’s just that young people are simply a little embarrassed to tell others that they care about others.

I'm a little embarrassed.

But I am also a little happy.

Although it seemed absurd for He Jingtong to ask Teacher Anlai to borrow coffee, and there was even a hint of insanity in his absurdity, Qi Xueyi could actually sense that He Jingtong wanted to liven up the atmosphere.

Maybe they felt that he had made them worry.

Anyway, that's all for this topic.

They all knew that within the three-person team, they always cared about each other.

That's enough.

.

After washing up and lying on the bed, He Jingtong opened the system interface again.

The points value of the fifth episode, just from the comment area, without adding the points from the forum, has reached an astonishing 189,688. The forum provided 123,000 points. Of course, this number is after deducting half of the maintenance costs.

In other words, since the fifth episode was broadcast, a total of 312,688 points have been obtained for He Jingtong in the seven days. Adding the previous balance of 10,000, the total number of available points is currently 322,688.

What’s interesting is that maintenance costs are also counted towards the 100 million achievement points. In other words, the total number of points He Jingtong has earned has now reached 665,489.

The system was even a little surprised. Even if the comic forum was opened, the system did not think that the number of points obtained for the fifth chapter would exceed that of the fourth chapter by much.

But the results show that the points in the comment section alone are already twice the points of the fourth episode.

[It's like exponential growth.] This is how the system evaluates it.

The system actually couldn't tell whether this was a coincidence or not, but regardless of whether it was or not, it was sincerely happy for He Jingtong.

After I was happy, I wondered for a while why I was happy. Then I felt that there was no need to think about it. My happiness was over.

A strange system and a strange He Jingtong.

The two opened the system mall together.

In the 10% off area, an incredible item was once again spawned.

——Reverse.

"What is this?" He Jingtong looked at the two words and was confused for a moment.

For example, when the multi-view function is sold in the mall, there is something like a camera on the label. The pills I bought before also appear to be placed in a hexagonal reddish-brown wooden box.

The only difference is that this item, which is priced at 1 million points, only has the words "reverse" written on it.

System explanation: [System malls generally push the things you need most based on data analysis. I don’t know what this tool does specifically. Anyway, let’s take a look at the manual first.]

Reverse: Reverse time and show the past.

This function can be used by a designated character. Once turned on, it can be combined with the multi-view function to allow the host bound to the system to observe the past of the designated character under the reverse effect.

Functional Comments: Life is never a node, but a river that keeps flowing. Everything you do now has already left traces in the past.

【What is this? 】The system was confused, 【I don’t understand. 】

"What I mean is that rewinding allows me, as the protagonist, to predict and observe the past. It also allows me, as the creator, to shape the characters based on the performances of other characters at other points in time, and gain a lot of popularity from the three-dimensional audience."

He Jingtong has always understood the importance of pushing items in the system mall to him.

[It's probably the same as when the camera in a comic book turns to show what happened to some characters in the past? Flashback?] The system said uncertainly.

"Yes." He Jingtong nodded, then stared at the two words and fell into deep thought.

[What are you thinking about? This function should be very useful.] The system saw that He Jingtong had not moved for a long time and did not seem to have fallen asleep. It checked the time and saw that it was 23:38. For a moment, the system was a little worried that He Jingtong might not be able to get up tomorrow morning.

"It is very useful, but I was thinking that peeking into other people's future is because I am in their future, and I also need to participate in that future. But if it is someone else's past..."

"Do I really need to know?"

He Jingtong was not worried about the price of 1 million points. There was a note next to the reverse selling price, which showed that the discount period for this function was after the new three chapters of the comic. In other words, He Jingtong could purchase the reverse before the ninth chapter was broadcast.

But he wondered, did he really need to check other people's past?

[Are you questioning yourself? But for a three-dimensional comic, the right to re-edit is in your hands. From the creator's perspective, it is normal to use a bird's-eye view to narrate and insert the story. This makes it easier to make the characters complete, and it is also easier to tell about things that happened in the past and explain why the present is what it is now. ]

Before understanding the function, the system was confused, but after understanding the meaning, it quickly understood what reversal meant to He Jingtong.

"No, this is just a basic human need. A normal person needs to have reasonable moral cognition. And it is impossible for a normal person to have an excessive desire to pry into other people's privacy. That is a disease that needs to be cured."

“If you just want to spy on other people’s privacy, usually ordinary people can’t do it because of their lack of ability. But if I choose to buy this prop, it means that I can designate anyone to view anything that happened to them in the past.”

There is also a mutual exclusivity between the concepts of not wanting to do something but being able to do it and wanting to do something but not being able to do it.

"This shouldn't happen."

The expression on He Jingtong's face was really calm, so calm that the system felt that its chip was almost deceived into thinking that He Jingtong was a normal person.

"But it's normal for a prophet to suddenly awaken to a power that is out of control."

System: Ah, it turns out that He Jingtong has been abnormal from the beginning to the end. !
