This is too hilarious!

34. Strange Tales: Mortgage Slaves?!

He Qing has been cultivating his mind for quite some time now.

It was at least earlier than Bai Hui.

Therefore, she had a deeper understanding of this class that distinguished her from her classmates who had not yet developed their inner strength.

In her view, taking leave today has almost ruined her martial arts future!

In the internet age, there are indeed many different kinds of "martial arts manuals" online, but firstly, it is difficult to distinguish between true and false, and secondly... without professional guidance, it is highly unlikely that one can learn them by self-study alone.

Even if an ordinary person were to fall off a cliff and find a peerless martial arts manual, just like the protagonist in the story, almost no one would dare to learn it on their own... Let alone what would happen if they learned it wrong, how would they even learn it?

Bai Hui could understand this point. After all, even in his 'previous life' in a modern technological society without supernatural beings, Qian Xuesen's mechanics manuscripts weren't actually that expensive...

"Even the dumbest person can't learn calculus by age 14?"

Therefore, teachers are very important.

The most valuable prize among the top three in the midterm exams is actually the teaching position of the physical education teacher!

It's easy to imagine the impact Bai Hui had on He Qing when he casually used the "Azure Sky Force".

This is equivalent to the top-tier teaching martial arts skill in the school!

This martial art involves a great deal of martial arts philosophy, and even if one cannot learn it exactly as it is, one can still benefit greatly from it.

The fact that Bai Hui could demonstrate this means that he could even teach it!

Instantly, hope rekindled in He Qing's eyes!

"Bai Hui, no, Brother Hui!" He Qing stood up, strode closer, and demanded, "When did you learn the Azure Sky Force? How much did it cost?!"

"Let's eat first."

Bai Hui switched back to normal video quality and said with a smile.

He doesn't know anything about the Azure Sky Force!

It was merely a rough imitation of Tian Qiyuan from memory.

In reality, he could only produce this one sound, which even put a slight strain on his body because the precision of his move was simply insufficient.

However, if there are more opportunities to observe, learn, and imitate, mastering it completely shouldn't be a problem.

"Okay! I'll eat now!"

He Qing quickly sat down and began to eat heartily.

It's all left for her.

After all, it was the cook who made the food. She could accurately control everyone's appetite with just one bite, and she could even tell what everyone needed and what they should eat at that time!

As a dream device, this kind of thing is a piece of cake for Auntie Chef.

It's even easier to absorb, and while it has great color, aroma, and flavor, it almost melts in your mouth!

Unfortunately, Bai Hui is currently short of money, and his family's food reserves are running low; this is the last meal.

Otherwise, the effect could be even better!

Therefore, He Qing didn't think much of it at first, but once she started eating, she couldn't stop!

A few minutes later, she finished all the remaining food on the table without wasting a single grain.

The cook, with a cheerful clatter, began clearing away the dishes.

……

A strange, tinkling singing sound rang out from the kitchen.

Bai Hui and the other two had already condensed their inner demons and possessed a certain degree of resistance. This level of skill could also serve as a slight test for them.

As for Li Youye, who hasn't yet condensed his inner demons—this guy surfs the internet too much in his daily life, so his personal capacity for learning shouldn't be underestimated.

She was only slightly dazed, her mind wandering, and even under the mirror's reflection, her rationality did not drop much!

However, he can't participate in the discussion for the time being... But this guy's academic performance is only average anyway, so he doesn't care about these things.

Bai Hui and the other two continued their discussion—

He Qing savored the meal he had just eaten and listened to Feng Jue tell him about their plan. He immediately said, "Let's pay for our meals every day and have the cook take care of our food. In theory, we can achieve the maximum nutritional benefits with the lowest possible cost."

I agree!

In terms of actual combat, all three of us are now at the Sha Body Realm, with Bai Hui being even more advanced. If we pay a little attention, we can indeed accumulate combat experience within a controllable range!

Furthermore, there's the erosion and tempering from the dream artifacts... perhaps we really aren't weaker than those students from well-off families!

Feng Jue nodded and said, "Besides, we don't necessarily need all three of us to get the opportunity for private martial arts instruction. As long as Bai Hui can get it and learn it, he can find a way to teach us... Even if he doesn't teach the original version, sharing some of the martial arts concepts will benefit us greatly..."

Bai Hui asked thoughtfully, "Do you think the qualification for private martial arts instruction can be sold?"

The two of them: "???"

He Qing blurted out, "You're going to give away such a good opportunity?!"

"I never said I wouldn't charge!"

"What's money! That's a chance for a Martial Meridian Realm expert to privately teach you martial arts!!! Don't you even understand?!"

"oh."

Bai Hui pondered for a moment.

Thinking about Wu Peng's rapidly evolving martial arts techniques, the only thing he's lacking now is his physical fitness.

I think I'll be able to master it after a few more PE classes.

If I could use it to get a factory job and work on a piece-rate basis...

Wouldn't I be a one-person assembly line then?!

Even... I am the workshop!

"So, can you sell it?"

"..."

Feng Jue and He Qing were speechless. They looked at each other and Feng Jue said, "He Qing, let's work together to compete for the top three!"

With these qualifications, if we give it a shot, we might not be completely ineligible...

If I could receive private martial arts instruction, participating in the high school league would be a certainty, and with that achievement, it wouldn't be impossible to get a ranking...

By the way, do you know what the prizes are for this high school league?

"Of course! Otherwise, why would I have been so excited before?"

He Qing said: "The top ten in the high school league can get a scholarship of five thousand yuan, a private martial arts lesson or a safe way to use some special supernatural tale!"

The top three even get the chance to challenge the "Strange Tale of the Mortgage Slave"!

"Mortgage slaves?"

Bai Hui was still considering the possibility of selling the "private martial arts instruction" slots. He figured that since these two wouldn't tell him, he could just ask Li Bindao later, right?

But upon hearing this term, Bai Hui suddenly became interested.

"A mortgage slave? The reward is that good?!" Feng Jue exclaimed in surprise. "Could it be one of those ghost stories about mortgage slaves who can be made into a 'Nightmare Artifact: Mortgage Bag'?!"

"right!"

"What specifications?" Feng Jue also got excited. Although he had condensed his inner demons, he hadn't recovered from his years of PUA experience so easily, so his expression was somewhat distorted.

"It's said to be an initial ten square meters..."

……

Bai Hui listened to the two of them talking about "mortgage slaves" and "mortgage loans"...

It just feels abstract.

Are high school freshmen already thinking about mortgages?!

Isn't it a bit too early?

And what can you do with ten square meters?!

Want to gather a few friends?

[Upon hearing this abstract news, sanity decreased by 1.]
