Disaster Strikes

"Huh?"

A light exclamation interrupted Chen Mo's train of thought.

Since Chen Mo sorted out the library, the number of people who came to borrow books has obviously increased, but most students only searched for some information for a short time, and then left quietly, and did not stay here for too long.

Chen Mo, who was reading "Application Skills of E-level Skills", was interrupted and raised his head.

However, when he saw the visitor, he was stunned, and then showed a look of surprise, and hurriedly stood up from his seat.

"Teacher."

The visitor was none other than Qinghong.

"I heard from Loulan that she hired an administrator to be responsible for the situation here. I haven't been here for a while, and the changes here are not small. Could it be that you are what she is talking about?"

She looked Chen Mo up and down.

Chen Mo was a little embarrassed.

It has been more than a month since he came to the academy. He has already understood the habits of the disaster world and gradually adapted to the life in this world. He knows that many natural disasters in the disaster world look down on this kind of long-term employment relationship.

Chen Mo nodded and said respectfully, "What books do you need? I'll help you."

"Haha, no, I'll just take a look."

Teacher Qinghong waved her hand and went deep into the library to look through the books.

At least from her expression, it seems that she did not discriminate against Chen Mo's job as a librarian.

But at this moment, Chen Mo's heart was like an ant on a hot pot.

It's not that he is afraid of this teacher.

Although Teacher Qinghong is sometimes very strict, most of the time she talks about the matter.

Perhaps she has taught too many starving students and has seen through all kinds of life. In the eyes of this teacher, this temporary employment relationship in the college is still within the acceptable range. After all, it's just a group of starving people making a living.

In addition to hating termites, this teacher has not shown obvious likes and dislikes for the time being.

The real reason why Chen Mo is sitting on pins and needles at this moment is that he realizes that this may be his chance, a chance to really get close to the teacher and change his fate.

He doesn't have the bribery resources of those adult starving people.

Although Chen Mo has accumulated 28 points of natural disaster contribution points after more than a month of accumulation, and he couldn't help but spend a few points in the middle, these contribution points are probably still not worth mentioning in the eyes of the tutor.

He is not qualified to bribe.

As for trying to get close, if you are too rash, it is easy to backfire.

She has brought out many starving ghost students, and she changes a batch every 100 days. During this period, I don't know how many sly people want to try to get closer.

But for Chen Mo personally, now may be his only chance to change his fate during his time in the academy.

This time it was the tutor who took the initiative to come over and say hello, not trying to get close himself.

This objectively created an opportunity for Chen Mo.

The difference is similar to the first meeting between a man and a woman. Under the same conditions, the man tries to get close to the woman after finding out about her through various means. The latter will undoubtedly greatly dispel the woman's vigilance.

If you can seize this opportunity and get closer to the two, your situation in the academy in the future may become completely different.

And this completely different result may very likely be the difference between life and death in the end.

It was precisely because this opportunity was so precious that Chen Mo was restless and dared not speak rashly.

He had to find a proper excuse, an excuse that the tutor could not refuse.

Chen Mo had never been as anxious as he was now.

A book once said.

People often have only a few opportunities in their lives, but successful people only need to seize one or two of them. Whether they can seize the opportunity depends not only on personal choice but also on God's will.

If you seize the opportunity, you will be able to reach the sky, but if you fail to seize the opportunity, you will be unknown.

Tutor Qinghong naturally did not know Chen Mo's complex psychology at this moment.

After searching for a while on the bookshelf in the back row, she finally found the books she was interested in.

She was about to put these books away and take them back to the office to read slowly. She found that the library had been sorted out by Chen Mo these days, and the environment had been greatly improved.

I remember that every time I came here, the bookshelves were very messy, and the borrowing desks were old and worn. I always heard the shaking sound made by students, which made people feel irritated, and there were no drinking water facilities.

This made her look at Chen Mo more.

I remember that when I was still a starving ghost, I often came here to read to prepare for the future starving ghost trials...

Then she sat down at the desk in the lending office and started reading.

"Huh."

Seeing this, Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he seemed to have made a decision.

After leaving the library quietly, Chen Mo ran to the cafeteria and came to the window of the consumption area.

This is an optical computer device. Facing the various recipe menus on the light screen, Chen Mo finally gritted his teeth and opened the intermediate recipe option.

"A cup of sugar-free fresh milk coffee, a high-quality nut pastry, a total of 12 contribution points, please confirm (yes/no)."

"Yes."

Even though his heart was broken, Chen Mo still agreed.

You have to know that the few contribution points he spent this month were only used to buy primary ingredients a few times when he really couldn't help it.

But Chen Mo didn't regret it.

He remembered that when he was in the second year of high school, his friend Wu Huiteng was pursuing a girl. He once told him that if you spend the same 100 yuan to pursue a girlfriend, a lunch and two Haagen-Dazs snowballs will have two completely different effects.

Women are emotional animals, and they think in a completely different way from men.

Compare it to this moment.

With only 12 points, used to bribe Teacher Qinghong, Chen Mo might only get a sneer in response, but if it is a cup of high-quality coffee and a piece of exquisite pastry, the effect will be completely different.

Of course, this is just the first step to success.

If you are too attentive without any reason, you are either a traitor or a thief.

Teacher Qinghong must also understand this. If there is no suitable reason, it is likely to backfire. Chen Mo must have an excuse that the other party cannot refuse.

After a while.

A cup of fragrant milk coffee with a kitten pattern drawn on it and a soft nut pastry exuding an attractive aroma.

Fortunately, it is not meal time now, otherwise it may attract a lot of attention.

After all, for a starving ghost, buying this level of food is too luxurious.

Chen Mo ran to the library quickly with pastries and coffee.

He had never been as nervous as he was now. He was afraid that his teacher would leave because he was too slow, and he was also afraid that he would waste these precious ingredients because he was too fast.

Finally.

When Chen Mo, who was trembling with fear all the way, returned to the library and saw the familiar figure, he breathed a sigh of relief and tried to calm his breathing.

He walked slowly to Teacher Qinghong and placed the coffee and pastries in front of her.

"Teacher, your coffee and pastries."

The aroma of coffee and pastries attracted Teacher Qinghong's attention.

She frowned slightly.

She looked away from the books and looked at Chen Mo in surprise. She looked up and down for a while, revealing a thoughtful look.

"This kind of thing should not be something you can afford. You are really generous."

Then she sneered.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Seeing the other party's expression, Chen Mo had no doubt that this would be the last calm before the storm. When she kicked Du Qingqing out of the classroom, she looked the same.

If she made a mistake, she would be in trouble.

Teacher Qinghong sneered in her heart.

This little guy, could he be so naive to think that such a small favor could move her?

Can't she see his little thoughts?

He is so naive.

"Teacher, have you forgotten what happened that day?"

"Huh?"

Qinghong was a little surprised, and the situation was a little different from what she imagined.

Qinghong had already made up her mind that no matter what this guy wanted to ask of her, she would fight back in the most severe way, like a storm, and then throw away the coffee fiercely, so that he would completely give up those unrealistic fantasies.

Unexpectedly, the other party showed a complex emotion of remembrance and gratitude.

This made her a little confused.

Without a sound, Qinghong raised her eyebrows.

"What did I forget?"

Chen Mo tried to smile.

"To you, it may be just a trivial matter, just giving a starving student a small bag of biscuits on the first day of school, but to me, it is a life-saving grace."

Huh?

After Chen Mo reminded her, she remembered.

At that time, because she was curious about his attributes, she did give him a small bag of leftover biscuits.

"When I was very young, my mother taught me that if someone gives me a papaya, I will repay him with a jade pendant. It is not a repayment. If someone gives me a drop of water, I should repay it with a spring. Yes, these foods are indeed not something I can afford now. They are my salary for half a month here, but I don’t expect to repay your kindness for this. I just do my best to express my gratitude."

The small bag of biscuits at that time really made Chen Mo remember it in his heart. At this time, his gratitude to Teacher Qinghong was also sincere and from the bottom of his heart. He did think about how to repay her, but he never thought it would be this situation.

Qinghong lowered her head when she heard it.

"So that's how it is."

The suspicion she had just felt was in sharp contrast to the other party's gratitude.

After wrongly accusing a good person, she couldn't help but feel guilty.

This feeling of guilt was somewhat similar to the story of asking for forgiveness by carrying a thorn stick on one's back.

After the Mianchi meeting, Lin Xiangru worked hard and made great contributions, and was named the Minister of Zhao, ranking above Lian Po.

Lian Po was dissatisfied and threatened to humiliate Lin Xiangru in person. After Lin Xiangru learned about it, he tried his best to avoid and tolerate, and did not conflict with Lian Po. Lian Po was proud and thought that Lin Xiangru was only good at talking, with a false reputation, but nothing special, so he was arrogant.

The retainers thought that Lin Xiangru was afraid of Lian Po, and Lin Xiangru replied: Qin dared not offend Zhao because of me and General Lian. I avoided and tolerated General Lian because Zhao was in front and I was behind.

When Lian Po learned about it, he was ashamed, so there was the story of asking for forgiveness by carrying a thorn stick on one's back.

Qinghong picked up the coffee with both hands.

"You gave me a papaya, and I gave you a jade pendant in return. It's not a reward."

When the milk coffee entered her lips and teeth, she never thought that it would be so delicious and sweet, so that her rock-hard heart could not help but feel inexplicably touched.

"Teacher, call me if you need anything."

Chen Mo left at the right time.

Qinghong was in a state of confusion.

First of all, it is the guilt of wronging a good person. If it happened to a bystander or an "NPC" in the mission world, as a natural disaster victim, this would not be the case.

But it happened to happen in the disaster world, and it happened to herself, which made her very upset.

Secondly, it is the other party's repayment of gratitude.

I had even forgotten the leftover biscuits that I had thrown away, but the other party was willing to repay me with half a month's labor income. This is even more precious in the disaster world, a place that pays attention to the interests of the world and the strong is king.

Time passes.

Six o'clock in the afternoon is the closing time of the library.

Before Chen Mo could say anything, Qing Hong stood up on her own initiative. When passing by Chen Mo, she said casually: "I remember you have the stone skin talent, right?"

"Yes."

Chen Mo responded.

"Um."

Qinghong nodded.

"Since you have talent, it's a pity to waste it like this. Don't just focus on developing your mental power. You should also develop your physical fitness. Only by surviving can you be qualified to become stronger. Come to my office in the evening. If I have time, I will treat you alone. Give me some guidance on practice techniques.”

After saying that, without waiting for Chen Mo's response, she strode out of the library.

"Thank you, instructor."

Chen Mo murmured in a low voice, his mood was equally complicated.

Like Teacher Qinghong, he also felt ashamed of his previous dirty thoughts, and used interests to calculate the gains and losses of repaying kindness.

But I am also glad that I seized this opportunity and seized this opportunity to change my destiny.

"A real man should act openly and honestly in troubled times. Even if he is in adversity, he should bow down to his duty and wait for the fate of heaven. He should not fight against fate."

After Chen Mo checked the library, he locked the doors and windows and left.
