Absolute Great Teacher

Chapter 282 Generous Rewards

Sun Mo felt conflicted after seeing the head on the ground.

(Should I pick it up or not?)

(Speaking of which, An Xinhui did mention that this guardian doesn’t like to be touched by people. Hence, if I helped to pick its head up, wouldn’t I be beaten up?)

Boom! Boom!

The sounds of footsteps echoed. Sun Mo inclined his head and saw the headless warrior searching for its head.

“Oi, your head has fallen off!” Sun Mo pointed to the ground. “Over here!”

Bang!

The headless warrior knocked into a shelf. But very soon later, it managed to differentiate the location. However, it didn’t walk over and stood at its location.

“Could it be feeling embarrassed so it is not coming over?”

Sun Mo walked away and even hid behind a bookshelf far away. A few minutes later, the system notification rang out. Ding!

Favorable impression from the warrior whose head has fallen off +30. Prestige connection unlocked. Neutral (30/100).

Sun Mo was stunned, he couldn’t help but ask, “System, can lifeless objects even generate favorable impression points?” “Who told you that this warrior is a lifeless object?”

The system counter-asked.

“Ah? Isn’t it a combat puppet created by humans?”

Sun Mo was curious. It seemed like the origins of this guardian warrior weren’t like what An Xinhui had told him. Or more accurately, even An Xinhui didn’t know of its origins.

“No comment. You are a teacher. In the future, when you run into such problems, please think of a solution yourself. You shouldn’t keep asking others.”

The system lectured Sun Mo.

“Alright, alright. Quickly go and rest!”

Sun Mo waved his hands.

After this small incident was over, Sun Mo started to focus on reading the books with single-hearted devotion.

One couldn’t help but say that all the books here contained high-end knowledge. Other than the study of spirit runes and the art of spiritual beast control, Sun Mo almost couldn’t understand the other subjects. It felt like he was gnawing on steel, and his teeth were about to shatter

At this moment, Sun Mo finally understood how tiny and inconsequential he was. He also knew now how insignificant his previous achievements were.

Compared to ordinary teachers, Sun Mo was surely impressive. But when compared to a 3-star great teacher and above, he was insignificant.

“This great teacher path is truly a long one. I have to always maintain a humble heart and do my best to learn diligently. I must never be complacent!”

Sun Mo reminded himself.

Ding!

“Congratulations to the host on comprehending the meaning of the great teacher path. Your mental state has improved. Special reward: 1x bronze treasure chest!”

Sun Mo was speechless. He had a treasure chest just like this? It felt like he had just found $100 bucks on the roadside!

Sun Mo only left during the night. After he walked a distance away from the tower, he turned his head back and stared at it. He could see a pair of glowing red eyes at the window of the second floor, currently staring in his direction.

After discovering that Sun Mo turned his head, that guardian warrior acted like a turtle and quickly shrank its head back.

“Damn!”

Sun Mo jumped in fright. Was this a curse-type technique from the Nine Provinces? Seeing a pair of glowing red eyes staring at you in the middle of the night was naturally a frightening experience.

The autumn night gradually grew colder. The night was silent.

After staying in the villa, Sun Mo’s life became more relaxed. He also couldn’t be bothered to wake up early. Since this place was very far from the canteen, he began to cook for himself.

Although he wanted to cook, Sun Mo didn’t have many chances to really do so. Li Ziqi, Lu Zhiruo, and the iron-headed girl seemed to have already discussed among themselves and would always take turns to deliver meals for him.

Every day after Sun Mo woke up, and after his morning ablutions, he would see hot piping dishes of food already placed on his table.

It seemed that they didn’t want to disturb Sun Mo. So Li Ziqi and the other two would vanish after they set up the breakfast. “Who is it today?”

Sun Mo called out. He sat down and drank a mouthful of porridge. After that, he took a hot-piping vegetarian bun and ate a mouthful of it.

Egg with garlic chives, it was super delicious!

“Teacher!”

The papaya girl appeared at the door, waiting for Sun Mo’s instructions.

“Come over!”

I

Sun Mo waited for the papaya girl to come beside him. He touched her head and gently spoke, “After you return, tell Ziqi and Baiwu that during breakfast every day, I will be answering any questions you all have. We shouldn’t waste this time.”

“Mn!”

The papaya girl nodded with a little force. “Teacher, can I use the second level of the Grand Universe Formless Divine Art, Invulnerable Golden Body, to cover only some parts of my body? Would I be able to save some spirit qi like this?”

“Yes, but there’s no need to. You won’t know where the attacks will land on you!”

Sun Mo explained.

Was there anyone who could tell something like that?

Of course, some people could. Xuanyuan Po and Ying Baiwu were good examples. If they were the ones who asked, Sun Mo would reply in the affirmative. But for Lu Zhiruo, it was better for her to protect her entire body!

“Oh!”

Lu Zhiruo felt a little disappointed. She thought she could improve on this cultivation art. Now it seemed that she was thinking too much.

“Zhiruo, your thought process isn’t wrong. However, improving on a cultivation art doesn’t mean making it more perfect. Rather, it is to improve the cultivation art to better suit oneself, allowing one to display one’s advantage completely.”

Sun Mo guided, “Your advantage is that you have an abundance store of spirit qi. Hence, in the future, when you fight against others, you can activate the Invulnerable Golden Body with no worries about your entire body. However, I don’t recommend you to do this. This technique should only be used during crucial moments to surprise your opponent, achieving a miraculous effect.”

Lu Zhiruo contemplated. Sun Mo ate his porridge. The papaya girl’s combat strength was average, and she could hold her own against ordinary opponents. But once the fight involved a battle of wits, she would definitely lose out. Bluntly speaking, the papaya girl wasn’t apt at analyzing the battle situation and taking deliberate actions to target anomalies. She only knew how to fight in a prescribed routine. This was like doing maths questions. Lu Zhiruo might have learned the principles to a certain question but once the format of the question changed a little, she wouldn’t know how to do it anymore. Simply speaking, she wasn’t able to deduce many things.

Sun Mo had seen such a situation before. If one wanted to improve, they could only keep doing a variety of questions repeatedly. However, he wouldn’t tell this to Lu Zhiruo, he wanted her to comprehend this for herself.

“System, open up a treasure chest. The bronze one first!”

Sun Mo instructed.

The first bronze chest was opened. After the glow vanished, a spring water beauty medicine packet was left behind.

“Trash!”

Right now, Sun Mo didn’t have this item in his eyes any longer. There was no solution to this. He had the prescription already and as long as he gathered enough medical ingredients, he could concoct as many medicine packets as he wanted!

Next, it was the second bronze treasure chest.

Ding!

“Congratulations, you obtained 1x ancient whale oil!”

This one was still okay. Although Sun Mo had over ten bottles, there was no way for him to concoct one on his own. Hence, he didn’t mind getting more of them. The third one, after the bronze glow vanished, a ball of pure-white light appeared. There was a small bottle in there that was filled with a milky white liquid.

It looked a little vicious when he looked at it.

“Congratulations, you obtained 1x lover protection lotion!”

“This lotion possesses an extremely strong recovery effect. After using it, it can act as a hemostatic, allowing your wounds to recover swiftly. Even if you have broken bones, you will be able to recover within ten minutes of using it. By possessing one of these, it would mean having a lover taking care of you. You can completely rest at ease!”

The system introduced. “Wait a minute, isn’t there something wrong with this description? Who says that you would surely be safe if you have a lover taking care of you? What if you got cuckold and wore a green hat? Wouldn’t that be even more tragic?”

Sun Mo doubted. (I’m someone who scored full marks during my college examination’s reading comprehension. So I can’t stand looking at such a description that is full of flaws.)

The system silently cursed in its heart. It wanted to curse out loud. (Was this really the main point? Why are you not marveling at the shocking recovery effects of this lotion instead?)

“You are not talking? That means you admitted to your mistake?”

Sun Mo was very satisfied. “Scram!”

The system couldn’t take it any longer. Sun Mo opened up the merchant store and browsed through it. He had thought that this bottle of lover protection lotion would be sold for 1,000 favorable impression points, and this amount was already extremely high. However, he didn’t expect the price to be at 3,000 favorable impression points, and it was a limited purchase item as well.

What did this mean?

It meant that it would only appear in the merchant store for a while. If one missed out on it, it would vanish and not be available for purchase anymore. Sun Mo bit his lips. He had been saving up his favorable impression points and preparing to buy a great teacher halo. But after some hesitation, he decided to purchase this lotion.

Ding!

“Purchase successful. Item has been sent to the storage cabinet!”

Sun Mo was at ease now. After that, he touched the papaya girl’s forehead and mentally spoke, “Alright, let’s open the silver treasure chest now!”

The system’s speed was extremely quick. Sun Mo was still intending to pray to the goddess of luck, and the white glow from the chest immediately shone. After it vanished, a skill book shining with golden light floated before his eyes.

“Beautiful!”

Sun Mo whistled.

Ding!

“Congratulations on obtaining a portion of knowledge from the Great Plants Encyclopedia, 1,000 types of plants on the Darkness Continent. Proficiency level: expert-grade. Do you want to use it now?”

“If I don’t use it now, should I wait for the year to pass first?”

Sun Mo was impatient.

Pak!

The skill book was crushed and countless motes of golden light appeared. After that, they stopped in the air. It was like they were drawn in by a black hole, and all of them flew into Sun Mo’s forehead.

A seed landed on the ground and germinated, growing roots and maturing, until it died...

Various plants appeared in Sun Mo’s mind as he experienced their cycle of life and death.

After Sun Mo cast Encyclopedic Knowledge on himself, he began to memorize them.

It was only after two hours did the system notification ring out once more.

Ding!

“Congratulations, your knowledge on 700 types of plants of the Darkness Continent has risen to the grandmaster-grade. As for the other 300 types of plants, they are at the expert-grade.”

Sun Mo heaved a sigh of relief and leaned against the chest. He had overly exhausted his brain power and felt a little fatigued. However, he was very satisfied. As long as he managed to obtain knowledge of 10,000 types of plants, Sun Mo would be qualified enough to be called a herbology grandmaster.

After resting for a while, Sun Mo left the villa and went to the teaching building. His lesson today was at 10 a.m., hence, he can head to class later in the morning.

Upon arriving at the office, Sun Mo discovered that Xia Yuan and Du Xiao had returned.

“Teacher Sun!”

Although Xia Yuan was a 1-star great teacher, she still took the initiative to offer a greeting when she saw Sun Mo. “Teacher Xia, how’s your harvest?” Sun Mo asked with a smile. “Don’t mention it anymore. I didn’t get anything; it was just a waste of time!”

Xia Yuan sighed. Actually, she knew that the probability of her capturing a mysterious species of darkness like the eight-gate cloud was simply too small. It was one thing if she didn’t even see it, but the problem was she saw it and didn’t manage to capture it. She truly felt very resigned.

“Teacher Sun, you should go and try. Who knows, you might be able to catch it!” Du Xiao spoke highly of Sun Mo. “Hehe, I’m not interested!”

Sun Mo shook his head. He felt a joyful feeling, the joy that came from amassing wealth while keeping a low profile.

Just when Sun Mo was idly chatting with his colleagues, the Headmaster Cao of the Myriad Daos Academy was clad in an ordinary robe as he walked into the Central Province Academy!
