Chapter 106 823786, you're not prestigious enough.
Pei Hening thought that the dream might be Qin Lianghan, so she took the initiative to join the discussion.
[DibiDibi]: @DoglikeHelpless, what curse did you add this time? It made this person's expression change instantly.
[Invincible Iced Cola]: Well done!
[Elisa]: I'm curious too.
[Helpless like a dog]: Honest and simple.jpg
[As helpless as a dog]: I didn't, I'm not, it's none of my business.
[A Fleeting Dream]: I was wrong...
[A Dream]: Damn, why did you deduct my attribute points even though I was wrong?
[Barbara]: @Dog-like helplessness, is that okay?
[As helpless as a dog]: I don't feel comfortable making this money, so I won't take it.
[HXWHKL]: You have concerns because of the Falcon?
[Falcon]:?
[A Fleeting Dream]: How can you possibly lift the curse on me? @Dog-like Helplessness
[As helpless as a dog]: It seems someone tagged me, did you guys see it?
[Fire the boss]: Didn't you see it? You must be having delirium from not sleeping well.
[As helpless as a dog]: You're right, I'm going to catch up on my sleep.
[A Great Dream]:...
After sending that message, the player disappeared.
Although Pei Hening wasn't sure if this person was Qin Lianghan, seeing him get the short end of the stick made her feel uncontrollably better.
Seeing that the school channel had quieted down, Pei Hening turned her attention back to watering the seeds in the flowerpot.
She suddenly remembered the gift Ryan had given her—plant nutrient solution.
She had already looked through the package before, but there were no instructions. If only she had asked the staff at "Highway Gardens," she would have known better. She forgot.
[DibiDibi]: Do you have a chance to go to "Roadside Gardening" recently?
[Fairy Descending to Earth]: I'm going there the day after tomorrow to find someone to fix up my planting area so it'll be easier to grow vegetables.
[DibiDibi]: 1000 copper coins, can you do me a favor?
[Fairy Descending to Earth]: You said it's my honor to serve you~
[DripDrip]: "Picture" "Picture" Please ask the staff for details about this nutrient solution.
[Fairy Descending to Earth]: Okay.
——
Thirty-two days of survival on the highway.
Pei Hening used the invitation at the appointed time and went to the "Highway Tax Bureau".
The "Highway Tax" website was completely different from the ones she had visited before.
Compared to other strange buildings, it looks much more normal.
The three tall, white buildings looked cold and austere.
The buildings are surrounded by many trees and flowers, which slightly softens the cold and serious atmosphere.
002 drove the car toward the station. Pei Hening rolled down the window and smelled the fresh scent of vegetation and flowers. She felt that the restlessness caused by the high temperature had dissipated a lot.
Following the signs, 002 drove the car to the parking lot.
The familiar electronic voice sounded again.
"Welcome player [DibiDibi] to the highway tax station. Please remember the following rules carefully."
"1. Players who need to conduct business should do so during working hours."
2. Damaging equipment within the site is strictly prohibited.
"3. Fighting and causing trouble are strictly prohibited within the station, and loud noises are not allowed."
"4. Players may not stay in the site for more than two hours."
"Special (Correction 2): A villain with tens of millions of sin points has appeared. The pursuit team and bounty hunters are continuing their manhunt. If you encounter the police on duty, please cooperate with the investigation. (Note: If you have any relevant clues, please contact us immediately. A large reward awaits.)"
Pei Hening got out of the car with the bag she used to hold invoices, walked to the signpost at the entrance of the parking lot, ignored the extremely conspicuous wanted poster, looked at the floor plan, and determined her destination.
She glanced up at the white building in the very center and decisively walked towards it.
Pei Hening walked outside the white building and saw the busy staff inside through the floor-to-ceiling windows; there were quite a few people.
But her gaze fell on the long queue at the service window, so she went over and joined the end of the line.
Not only humans come here to conduct business, but also dwarves and goblins.
Pei Hening watched helplessly as the goblins cut in line several times, even specifically cutting in line for the dwarves.
The dwarves endured the insults silently, remaining unmoved and honest.
Pei Hening initially didn't intend to intervene, but seeing the line moving for so long, her face turned green. She waved to the staff member maintaining order not far away—an orange-patterned snake.
Snake Congcong saw her gesture and crawled over.
"Madam, what can I do for you?"
Pei Hening pointed to the goblins still cutting in line and asked, "Is cutting in line allowed at the station? They've crammed almost twenty people in, and the line hasn't moved."
As soon as she finished speaking, the female dwarf in a simple cloth shirt in front of her turned her head and whispered to comfort her, "There are thirty-two goblins. It will be our turn soon, so don't worry."
Snake Congcong looked at the goblins huddled together, then turned to Pei Hening and the dwarf: "What do you want me to do?"
Pei Hening said lightly, "These goblins cutting in line, can I consider them to be causing trouble?"
Snake Congcong's eyes instantly turned serious: "I understand, wait a moment."
It crawled up to the group of goblins, and somehow, all the goblins who had cut in line came out.
The goblins, their faces dark with reluctance, joined the queue at the back.
Pei Hening was satisfied when she saw that the team was now half empty.
The dwarf in front of her, however, was instantly moved to tears, his eyes filled with shock, astonishment, and disbelief.
She exclaimed excitedly, "You're amazing! I never thought you could stop the goblins from cutting in line!"
Pei Hening paused for a moment, carefully observing the female dwarf in front of her.
She dressed herself very neatly, her dry, yellow hair was combed up, and she looked young, but her hands were covered with calluses from heavy work, and she was missing two teeth. A small section of her inner lining peeking out from her sleeves was patched.
"Next time you encounter a goblin cutting in line, you can do what I did and find a staff member, speak according to the rules, and don't be afraid."
"Often, timid retreat will not bring peace, but will only make bad people more emboldened and infringe on your interests even more."
Pei Hening, unusually kind, took the initiative to teach her how to deal with this situation.
The female dwarf shook her head, her voice filled with unconcealed melancholy: "It's alright, I would have come earlier. I don't want to cause trouble for my people."
She looked down and noticed the patched lining sticking out. Embarrassed, she stuffed the patched lining into her outer garment, whose sleeves were noticeably too short. "The dwarves can't afford another blow."
Pei Hening remained silent. She was unaware of the situation of the dwarves and could not offer any advice rashly.
In her mind, the dwarves, no matter what, had the legendary weapon forger Galah in charge, so their status couldn't be that low, right?
But, as she glanced at the dwarf before her, the truth always took an unexpected turn.
Pei Hening asked her, "Are you here to pay taxes?"
The dwarf shook his head, his words filled with obvious joy: "No, I came here to submit a tax exemption application. We applied many times, and finally it was approved."
Pei Hening looked into the other person's eyes, which were filled with joy, and silently shut her mouth.
She was quickly approached and served by a rabbit-themed staff member wearing a light yellow dress.
The other party processed the business very quickly; the summarization, declaration, and payment were all done very quickly.
When she finished her business, she looked up and saw the dwarf who had been in front of her in line waiting for someone.
Pei Hening looked away and walked towards the gate.
The dwarf looked at her, wanting to greet her, but he didn't dare.
Pei Hening walked out of the gate, smelling the rich fragrance of flowers, and strolled under the shade of the trees. Just as she was about to return to the parking lot, she saw Nuo Yaya enter the business processing center.
Does the store manager of this district also need to come here to handle business?
Thinking about it, it makes a lot of sense.
She went into the parking lot, found her car, and told 002 to drive it out.
Pei Hening watched the bus stop gradually disappear in the rearview mirror, closed the car window, and turned her attention back to the road.
He retrieved the materials for brewing potions and attempted to brew a potion to restore magic power, which was from Chu Xuange's notes.
She tried it a few times and saw that the potion was taking shape. Although it didn't look very good, it was indeed effective.
She opened the private chat with [the wicked].
[DibiDibi]: Try my newly concocted potion and remember to give feedback.
[Having committed many evils]: Yes, master.
[Having committed numerous evils] He was on the verge of tears. This super-strong woman had been using him as a guinea pig, feeding him all sorts of strange drugs, which caused his drug resistance to keep increasing. The benefits were obvious, but they also produced strange negative effects.
This isn't how you play with blind boxes!
Pei Hening had no idea what he was thinking.
Okay, even if she knew, she still asked him to be her test subject.
——
Highway Police Station.
[Lemon Tree Lemon Fruit] glanced at [Fairy Descending to Earth], who was following behind her with a bitter face, and asked, "Are you really ready? Can you pass the exam?"
[The fairy descended to earth] nodded repeatedly: "I'm ready, passing is no problem."
She was the top liberal arts student in her year's college entrance examination, and she had no problem handling the exam.
However, she was afraid of snakes and worried that one of the examiners might be a snake.
"Okay, let's go."
[Lemon Tree Lemon Fruit] led her around the police station gate and towards the building behind it. Soon the two arrived at an empty room with only a table and a chair inside.
"Aren't there any examiners?"
[The Fairy Descends to Earth] looked around but didn't see the examiner, and her nervousness subsided a bit.
It's good that there are no examiners; at least no one is watching her.
[Lemon Tree Lemon Fruit] glanced at the room and walked out: "Wait for me, I'll go ask."
[Fairy Descends to Earth] waited for a short while, and [Lemon Tree Lemon Fruit] returned, followed by a police officer in uniform with short green hair and a body camera in his hand.
The short-haired police officer flipped through the records, and after seeing the crime clearly, he looked at [the fairy descending to earth] in surprise.
"Hooliganism?"
The fairy descended to earth, her face burning, and she stammered, "I didn't mean to."
The officer raised his hand to stop her, saying, "Go inside, I'll get you the test questions."
[Fairy Descending to Earth] subconsciously looked at [Lemon Tree and Lemon Fruit], and seeing the other nod, stepped into the room and sat down.
The officer looked at [Lemon Tree Lemon Fruit], her beautiful fox-like eyes narrowed, and said, "You rescued her? You should know that you're responsible if she fails the exam."
[Lemon Tree Lemon Fruit] took out a lighter from his pocket and played with it, nodding casually: "I believe her."
The short-haired police officer clearly hadn't expected such an answer, and said, "You guys are really funny."
The short-haired police officer took out his equipment, randomly selected a set of test questions from the question bank, and clicked confirm.
[A fairy descends to earth] Suddenly, a gentle white dot appeared before my eyes. The white dot expanded and turned into an exam paper with words appearing on it.
The exam paper landed neatly on the table, and a standard-looking pen appeared on it, with the "Highway Police Department" logo on the barrel.
"drop--"
"The exam has begun. Start the timer—"
After confirming that the exam time was ninety minutes, [Fairy Descending to Earth] picked up her pen and began answering the questions.
The question wasn't difficult; it was an expansion and variation of the content in "The Rules of Coexistence of Species," a book she had already thoroughly studied.
The short-haired police officer and [Lemon Tree Lemon Fruit] stood outside the room, silently watching her answer through the soundproof glass.
She initiated a casual conversation with [Lemon Tree Lemon Fruit]: "When will you be promoted to a permanent position?"
"I don't know either, the officer in charge of me didn't say."
The short-haired officer raised an eyebrow and said in a nonchalant tone, "There's an exchange and learning program at the 15th; you can sign up."
——
School.
As soon as Pei Hening drove into the school, he heard a loud announcement that echoed throughout the campus: "The examinees are in position. The assessment is about to begin. Spectators, please take your seats as soon as possible."
The broadcast, which was repeated three times, attracted the attention of all the creatures in the school.
Her hand paused. Was someone being assessed again so soon?
She calculated the time and suddenly realized that it was already the end of the month.
Putting aside other races, human trainees really need to hurry up and arrange their assessments, otherwise it will be too late.
Pei Hening parked his car and headed towards the floating island without stopping. Along the way, he saw many creatures leisurely strolling towards the assessment area.
Chu Xuange sent her a message at noon, saying that he was still at the black market and would be late coming to school, so she didn't need to wait for him.
Before she set foot on the floating island, she was prepared to face a group of puppets.
However, her preparations were unnecessary.
There is only one doll on the floating island, number 823786.
He was wearing a champagne-colored casual top and white trousers, and it seemed he wasn't planning to fight her today.
Pei Hening teased it: "Dear Teacher 823786, you're not quite there in terms of prestige today."
823786: "..."
It still defended itself by saying, "They didn't hold a party behind my back; they had something important to do."
Pei Hening looked completely innocent: "I didn't say they wouldn't play with you."
823786's dark eyes were filled with seriousness: "Now you've said it."
823786 has really gone astray; how can someone label her like this?
Sensing something was amiss, she quickly changed the subject: "What was the content of my lesson today?"
823786 checked the challenge mode, reviewed her challenge record and level difficulty, and lowered the difficulty slightly: "Challenge mode, you only completed the first three levels before, you have to complete the first five levels today."
Pei Hening had no objection to its arrangements.
Through these two days of classes, Pei Hening discovered that whether it was Xixia, 823786, or 822222, they were all designing courses for her that were tailored to her combat power limits.
Every lesson should maximize its benefits.
After designing the level, 823786, like with Cicija, rolled her up and threw her into the level.
Pei Hening got up from the ground expressionlessly, quickly dodging the attacks of the monsters inside the gate. This damned sense of familiarity!
