Chapter 496: Isn’t Teacher Sun’s Popularity a Little Too Terrifying?
Sun Mo just ended his rest. In fact, the news of him restarting his lesson didn’t even need to be announced. The moment it spread out, it was like a tornado that engulfed the entire Central Province Academy.
5 a.m., the teaching building.
“Move quicker!”
Wang Hao urged.
“Why are you in such a rush?”
Zhou Xu yawned. Even the gum in his eyes hadn’t been washed clean. “We came 2.5 hours earlier and we would surely be able to get seats. Speaking of which, do you want to go to the canteen to buy a meat pastry for breakfast? I feel a little hungry!”
“Let’s eat after the lecture!”
Wang Hao pulled Zhou Xu, rushing to the #301 classroom, a 300-pax classroom
When Wang Hao and Zhou Xu arrived, they fell into a daze. Tens of people were already queueing up in the corridor. When the two of them reached the door and glanced inside, they were completely stunned.
“It can’t be, right? What time is it now? Why is the class so full?”
Zhou Xu was speechless.
Was Sun Mo’s lecture really so attractive? Zhou Xu saw that many higher year students had come this time around.
One must know that high-year students had stayed in the school for a few years, and all of them had found suitable great teachers that they were fond of. Hence, they usually wouldn’t attend classes of new teachers.
“Isn’t Teacher Sun’s popularity a little too terrifying?”
A sixth-year male student at the side was dumbfounded. He came over two hours in advance and still couldn’t get a seat.
“I told you to come earlier, but you refused to listen!”
The guy’s girlfriend pinched him, grumbling with a look of unhappiness on her face.
“Wait a minute!”
Evidently, the guy was very rich. He entered the classroom and found a student with a good seating location. He then discussed in a low voice, “Hello junior, I’m willing to pay 200 taels of silver, can you sell this seat to me?”
The male student who was being spoken to took a glance at him and shifted his eyes away immediately.
“300 taels!”
The guy added the price. When he saw the other party remaining unmoved, he grew angry. He then spoke, “500 taels!”
After speaking, the guy showed a complacent expression as he looked at his school junior, waiting for the latter to compromise.
“Senior, please don’t harm me!”
The junior pleaded.
“What do you mean?” The guy frowned. “Did you find that the price is too small?”
His temper flared as he increased the price again. “1,000 taels!”
When the students at the side heard this, they couldn’t help but raise their eyebrows. 1,000 taels...this was enough for an ordinary family of three to eat well and cloth themselves for three years.
“Even if you gave me 10,000 taels of silver, I wouldn’t dare to sell you the seat!”
The school junior shrugged.
The rich guy had wanted to say something, but he was interrupted halfway.
“Xiao Sheng, stop making things difficult for that junior. You have never attended Teacher Sun’s class before, hence, you aren’t clear about the situation. I can tell you now that selling and buying seats are not permitted in Teacher Sun’s class. Once you are discovered, you will be permanently banned from his lessons.”
Cai Tan persuaded Xiao Sheng because he was acquainted with him.
“There’s something like this?”
Xiao Sheng’s personal teacher was He Yuanjin. He naturally didn’t need to attend Sun Mo’s lectures. However, his girlfriend wanted to come here to witness the extremely famous God Hands.
“Yes!”
Cai Tan nodded.
“Junior, don’t worry. My personal teacher is Teacher He Yuanjin. There’s 3,000 taels here, please take it.”
Xiao Sheng’s father was a rich merchant and he didn’t lack money. The philosophy he believed in was that problems that could be resolved by money weren’t considered problems.
That school junior didn’t accept it.
“3,000 taels of silver is enough for your family to live comfortably for five years. Even if someone reported you and you wouldn’t be able to attend Sun Mo’s class in the future, it really doesn’t matter much in comparison to this 3,000 taels, right?”
Xiao Sheng persuaded as he took out a bunch of banknotes, placing them on the table before the junior.
That junior didn’t even hesitate and directly stood up. He raised his hands. “Everyone, please be my witnesses. I didn’t accept his money!”
“Eh?”
Xiao Sheng was stunned.
“Haha!”
Cai Tan was overjoyed.
“Let’s leave.”
Xiao Sheng’s girlfriend pinched him. “Stop embarrassing us here!”
It was evident that to this junior, attending Sun Mo’s lecture was more worth it compared to getting 3,000 taels.
The two of them walked out of the classroom. Xiao Sheng, who originally didn’t care much, now had a face filled with curiosity.
“Are Sun Mo’s lessons really so outstanding?”
Xiao Sheng also didn’t select his target randomly. As someone from a merchant clan, he could tell that the junior’s family wasn’t rich. 3,000 taels was definitely a large sum to him. Yet, he actually could resist the temptation?
“In the future, don’t use money to probe the hearts of people!”
His girlfriend persuaded. After that, the curiosity in her heart regarding Sun Mo grew even stronger. What sort of teacher was he exactly?
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Ding Lan +10. Friendly (120/1,000).
“What should we do?”
Wang Hao had a helpless expression when he saw Xiao Sheng and Ding Lan leaving.
“What else can we do?”
Zhou Xu rolled his eyes. “Let’s leave!”
If it was the class of another teacher, there might be people leaving and freeing up seats after they waited for a while. But it was impossible for such a scene to appear in Sun Mo’s class.
“Sigh, I feel really envious of Shengjia!”
After Wang Hao walked to the staircase, he suddenly sighed.
“Yeah!”
Zhou Xu nodded. His aptitude had been better than Qi Shengjia’s. His cultivation base had been higher too and he could have looked down at Qi Shengjia from a height. But now, Qi Shengjia was a member of the battle hall. Although he wasn’t Sun Mo’s personal student, he could still follow Sun Mo and learn from him.
Just think about it. Other people needed to wait for long hours or pay 3,000 taels and more to listen to a single class by Sun Mo, yet Qi Shengjia could listen to Sun Mo’s teaching at any time.
“Shengjia’s dogshit luck must have been accumulated by his combined virtue of ten lifetimes!”
Wang Hao sighed.
Actually this ‘dogshit luck’ was once in front of their eyes too. However, why did they miss out on it?
Every time Zhou Xu thought of that afternoon of how they had met Sun Mo in that warehouse, he would feel so much regret that he felt like dying. At that time, if his attitude toward Sun Mo was slightly more respectful, how good would it be? Now, even if he wanted to hug Sun Mo’s thigh, it was much much more difficult compared to before.
“We can only blame ourselves for our lack of judgment!”
Upon thinking of this, Wang Hao lifted his hand and gave himself a slap. Who would have imagined that Sun Mo would have so many accomplishments in just one year?
(However, Teacher Sun is truly impressive. Just look at Qi Shengjia, Teacher Sun has guided him to the extent where he could become a first-rate member of the battle hall. This would truly make the eyeballs of everyone explode from shock!)
...
After eating breakfast with Lu Zhiruo, Sun Mo headed to the teaching building.
“Which lectures are you going to attend?”
Sun Mo patted the papaya girl on her head. “System, open a treasure chest!”
“I’m not going to attend any. I’m preparing to cultivate!”
Lu Zhiruo pursed her lips. She knew that the 2-star great teacher examination was about to arrive. The great teacher wanting to qualify must comprehend six great teacher halos and specialized in two secondary occupations. These were the hard conditions. Her teacher would surely have no problem. However, he must have a ranker on the Greencloud Rankings as his student.
The papaya girl wanted to help her teacher. Although Xuanyuan Po and Ying Baiwu were both very impressive, her teacher had shown so much care for her. Hence, she wanted to become a ranker on the Greencloud Rankings to gain some glory for her teacher.
Ding!
“Congratulations, you have obtained 1 Divine Force Fruit!”
Good stuff!
Sun Mo was very satisfied. A divine force fruit could allow him to level up once. Even if he didn’t consume it, it could be used as a form of currency.
A nature fruit like this could easily be sold for a very high price in places like an auction.
“Alright, go on then!”
Sun Mo patted the papaya girl’s head again. “Continue to open!”
After Lu Zhiruo left, the silver treasure chest was also opened.
It was a prescription that was glowing with light.
Sun Mo’s spirits instantly stirred. Something valuable was finally opened!
Ding!
“Congratulations, you have obtained the lower-part prescription of the lover protection medicine!”
Pu!
Upon hearing the system’s voice, Sun Mo almost coughed up blood. What the hell was this? Why didn’t the system let him open a clump of dark soil instead?
The lower-part prescription of the lover protection medicine was something he already had.
In the past when Sun Mo played games, he hated collecting parts of certain weapons the most because he would always get repeated parts. Naturally, there was also a method to reduce the rate of getting repeated parts and that method was to spend real cash.
In any case, the game developers would think of all methods to make players spend money on the game.
“This daddy will not spend cash no matter what!”
Sun Mo cursed angrily. Naturally, even if he wanted to spend favorable impression points to purchase a bunch of treasure chests, he didn’t have any. This was because he currently owned the system over 100,000 favorable impression points.
“Wait a minute, I still have many lucky treasure chests!”
The system would always give him a red-colored lucky treasure chest at midnight. Because the rate of opening items from such chests was simply too low, he would open clumps of dark soil for the vast majority of the time. This was why Sun Mo couldn’t be bothered to open them.
“Forget it, since my lucky mascot has left, I will wait next time to open them!”
Sun Mo increased his pace. After he got to the third floor, he could see many people gathering outside the #301 classroom, and this stunned him.
In the past, if the seats in the class were fully filled, the others wouldn’t wait outside. After all, when Sun Mo was selecting students to answer their questions, it wouldn’t include them.
“Is the rallying power of a 1-star great teacher so great?”
Sun Mo mumbled.
“The rallying power of a 1-star great teacher isn’t great, but your rallying power is great!”
Jiang Yongnian passed by. After hearing Sun Mo’s words, he couldn’t help but tease him. At the same time, he also felt some envy in his heart. He also wanted such popularity.
“Teacher Jiang!”
Sun Mo greeted.
“Liu Mubai is planning to participate in the 2-star great teacher examination this year. Do you have the same plan?”
Jiang Yongnian smiled as he asked, “Your student Xuanyuan Po is very powerful. Even if he can’t make it this year, he would definitely be able to be ranked on the Greencloud Rankings next year!”
“Yes!”
Sun Mo didn’t conceal it.
“Eh...”
Jiang Yongnian started. After that, he felt awkward as he was merely asking casually. He didn’t expect Sun Mo to have such a thought.
In that case, if he and Sun Mo both passed, wouldn’t they be considered great teachers of the same batch?
Jiang Yongnian subconsciously surveyed Sun Mo.
How old was he?
?
All of a sudden, a strong sense of reluctance and envy appeared in his heart. He had to reach 30 years old before he had the self-confidence and capability to go and test for the 2-star great teacher title. Yet, Sun Mo was only 20 when he did this.
It was like a 30 year-old-guy suddenly saw a more talented and richer 20 year-old-guy. The 30 year-old-guy would surely feel that he had wasted 10 years of his life.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Jiang Yongnian +30. Friendly (250/1,000).
“Wrong, what if I can’t pass?”
Jiang Yongnian suddenly grew worried. If he failed, that would really be embarrassing. (No way, I have to work harder during these two months and train my personal students more intensely.)
(Damn it, you guys have to work hard for me!)
“Teacher Jiang, I’m leaving first to teach my class!”
Sun Mo bade farewell.
Staring at Sun Mo’s back, Jiang Yongnian felt envy. Those from the junior generations were truly terrifying! However, after that, he felt that there was completely no need for him to panic or be jealous at all.
Who was Sun Mo?
He was a new superstar that had gotten the grand slam. He and Sun Mo were already not on the same level. His targets for competition should be teachers of the same age as him.
“A genius ultimately has to be defeated by other geniuses!”
Jiang Yongnian suddenly felt a strong sense of anticipation. Who would be first between Liu Mubai and Sun Mo?
Dang! Dang! Dang!
The opening lecture’s bell rang. The students immediately sat upright and still, waiting to witness the glory of ‘God Hands’ for themselves!
