Chapter 79 "Gogo, were you very poor before?"
The mascots surrounding the area were making hand gestures in twos and threes, creating a lively scene.
"Isn't this a provocation? This is definitely a provocation!"
"I told you, but you didn't believe me and insisted on coming to see. This student is really good at making people angry."
"823786, she'll also question you, 'Did you go easy on her?'"
She would only say to 823786: Giving me a lesson is no fun compared to having a party~
"Or it could be: Your moves were amazing today, did you have some 'new inspiration'?"
"...Did they really loosen the rules?"
"I don't know. Only it and 199999 are the latest combat dolls. They have the most comprehensive combat skills, but 199999 didn't come today."
The shortest bald doll stood at the front, taking in everything that happened between 822222 and Pei Hening, including her questioning of 822222's leniency.
A faint blue light emanated from 822222's black, inorganic eyes, redefining the concept of 'releasing water'.
Pei Hening did it on purpose; she didn't like 822222's attitude towards her—ignoring her and treating her like a cold, impersonal teaching task.
For her, intense hatred, strong disgust, or even the desire to destroy her were better than this indifference.
She enunciated each word clearly: "822222! You're ignoring me!"
The 822222 chip overheated, and after analyzing the reasons why Pei Hening did this dozens of times, the conclusion was—provocation!
It cleared out some inexplicably popping up data and continued teaching the students.
822222 is like a perfect machine that never makes a mistake, defeating her time and time again, but Pei Hening gets up again and again.
In the end, the time it took for Pei Hening to be defeated by 822222 also quietly increased.
She was like a dried-up sponge, frantically absorbing 822222's combat experience and skills during the battle.
— "Congratulations to player [DibiDibi] for mastering the S-rank skill [Pain Enjoyer]"
[Pain Sufferer] (S-Rank): Put away your laughable pity. I revel in pain; each instance of suffering deepens my mastery of power. When at a disadvantage in battle, enter 'Pain Sufferer' state to rapidly dismantle and learn your opponent's combat techniques. Each use deducts 50 mana points. Skill duration: 30 minutes. Cooldown: 45 minutes.
When Pei Hening comprehended the skill, she could clearly feel that the attack animation of 822222 paused for a moment.
The onlookers, including the puppets, were even more excited now.
"823786, why didn't you tell us that the students in West Asia learn new skills when they get beaten up!"
"I don't know either."
"Did the calculation 822222 fail? And why did it freeze for a moment?"
"I feel like both 822222 and 823786 are a bit strange."
"This student is really interesting. No wonder Cicija suddenly started teaching students."
"I wonder who teaches her magic creation class. Could I substitute for her for one class?"
Seeing that Pei Hening was covered in injuries, Xixia cast a healing spell on her and said, "That's enough for today. Even though you've moved up to the advanced class, the classroom will remain the same. Come here again tomorrow."
Pei Hening had just gotten up from the ground when Xixia threw him into the lounge.
She pushed open the door and saw Chu Xuange waiting for her after class.
He stepped forward, took her hand, and led her to the terrace where they had previously observed other races, asking, "How's the fatigue-relieving potion coming along?"
Pei Hening recalled the "excitement" state she had triggered earlier and said helplessly, "It wasn't very good."
After briefly understanding the progress, Chu Xuange said, "Since we have some time, shall I take you to practice some more?"
Once the two reached the terrace, Chu Xuange once again demonstrated to her an almost stingy way of handling materials.
Pei Hening sat at one end of the table, resting her chin on her hand, watching his movements intently, and suddenly asked, "Gege, were you very poor before?"
Chu Xuange gave a slow and deliberate "hmm" and began to refine the fatigue-relieving potion: "Baby, take a look at this raw material that I haven't processed yet. It grows in a shady place, which causes a lot of differences in the growth of its leaves. These differences will result in differences in the potency of the medicine."
One person patiently explained, and the other learned attentively; the atmosphere between the two was quite good.
They didn't leave the terrace until almost four o'clock when they had been at school.
In the parking lot, Chu Xuange held Pei Hening's hand tightly, unwilling to let go.
Pei Hening tried to reason with him: "We can see each other again tomorrow, I'll hold your hand again tomorrow."
Chu Xuange held on tighter and said resentfully, "You lied to me. After you move up to the advanced class, your course intensity will be even higher. You'll be lucky if you can finish class on time tomorrow."
Pei Hening reached out and grabbed his collar, pulled him closer, and kissed him.
Chu Xuange's pupils contracted for a moment. Just as he was about to kiss her back, Pei Hening released him and took a step back, feigning grievance, "Gege, you don't believe me~"
Chu Xuange saw the cunning in her eyes through her aggrieved expression, and helplessly pinched her cheek: "I believe you, I believe you, go back."
——
After they left, [Falcon] and Li Pan returned to the parking lot.
[Falcon] handed her another bottle of healing potion, saying worriedly, "Sister Li, don't push yourself in this condition. Leave the church matters to me."
Li Pangui looked exhausted, with dark circles under her eyes that could easily make her look like a panda.
She tucked the healing potion into her pocket, planning to drink it only after her health dropped to a dangerous level, saving every bit of it. She said lazily, "I can't let you take such a risk."
[Falcon] knew her temperament and, seeing her determination, stopped trying to persuade her: "I'll drive, you can sit in the passenger seat so you can rest for a while."
Li Pangui nodded indifferently. She probably couldn't sleep. Her insomnia wasn't just ordinary fatigue; it was a curse, and she probably couldn't fall asleep.
[Falcon] drove Li Pangui away from the school. As soon as he got on the highway, he used the church invitation and drove in the direction of the navigation.
Li Pangui leaned back in his chair and could see the church building from a distance.
She was momentarily lost in thought, then unconsciously sat up straight, her attitude becoming serious.
She actually felt that the building in front of her was sacred, inviolable, and even... the hope of humanity!
Li Pangui realized something was wrong and slapped herself hard across the face, leaving a bright red handprint.
After Li Pangui made sure he had calmed down, he looked up at [Falcon].
His eyes were filled with fervor as he kept stepping on the gas and speeding toward the church.
Li Pangui promptly slapped him!
"Smack—"
After regaining his senses, [Falcon] broke out in a cold sweat. With a clear handprint on his face, he was still shaken: "Sister Li, this place is really eerie!"
