Chapter 220 You want to switch from a novice to a fruit merchant?
"Good day, students. Our school will be holding the 17351st Magic Skills Academic Exchange Competition tomorrow, February 24th, 8675 of the Highway Calendar, at the Magic Skills Special Test Center. The person in charge of this exchange competition is the assistant instructor, Mengtu. All teachers and students are welcome to participate, and please focus on rational communication and adhere to academic norms."
The system announcement was repeated three times, and a pinned announcement also appeared in the school chat channel.
[Announcement: Our school will hold the 17351st Magic Skills Academic Exchange Competition tomorrow, February 24th, 8675 of the Highway Calendar, in the Magic Skills Special Testing Area. The person in charge of this exchange competition is Assistant Instructor Mengtu. The time limit for staying on campus tomorrow is waived. All students are requested to complete the target mileage on time.]
[Fire the boss]:???
[Tomorrow's Little Fish]: They even sent us a special announcement. Was this sent by the system? Is our chat privacy even possible?
[Princess Doris]: What difference does privacy make? We've already been dragged to this godforsaken place.
[As helpless as a dog]: As helpless as a dog.jpg
[In good mental condition]: Helpless like a dog.jpg
[HXWHKL]: I want to be emo, but I can't get it right, haha.
[Dog-like helplessness]: Old Deng, why are you copying me again? Did a zombie eat your brain?
[Barbara]: Damn highway survival.
[Hanada Chiko]: What is the system doing spying on our privacy? Is it adding junk data?
[Frank]: I am not trash.
[Winifred]: Don't come to the public arena, the match just ended. This guy is called Chi Xue, he's really strong, even in a 1v2 situation, it was a complete stomp.
[Megsil]: How come these alien races are so strong? I feel a sense of urgency.
[White Dove]: I wanted to go and take a look, it's over so quickly.
[Hanada Chiko]: Who said you're trash? Can you stop taking it personally? @Frank
[Dog-like helplessness]: Are you guys going to participate in the exchange competition tomorrow?
[Amphibious Bird]: Participation is required unless there are unforeseen circumstances.
[In good spirits]: Participate and broaden your horizons.
[Elisa]: I'm participating too.
Pei Hening stopped and looked up at the magical device broadcasting the announcement—a silver-white mechanical bird.
The 17531st Magic Skills Academic Exchange Competition means that the Magic Skills Academic Exchange Competition has been held 17530 times.
The person in charge of this exchange competition is the assistant mentor Mengtu. Is this assistant mentor a teacher at the school?
What are the professional titles of the other teachers in the school?
When Pei Hening went to the liaison office to contact Xixia to ask for leave, she didn't see the teacher's title.
As Pei Hening pondered, she walked around the cleaning robot, her red boots crunching on the soft snow, and strode towards the parking lot.
Pingyuan rushed to her side and asked, "Dibi Dibi, is it true that you encountered someone causing trouble for Chixue at the library?"
Pei Hening looked over. Pingyuan's bangs were messy, her beautiful short red hair was tied into two small buns, she was wearing a medium-thickness magic robe, and her signature potion bottle hung around her neck. Her face, which could not hide her worries, was written with struggle, guilt and worry.
Pei Hening asked her, "Didn't you and Chi Xue break off your friendship? Why are you still so concerned about her?"
Pingyuan snorted and said coyly, "Does breaking up with someone mean I can't ask about her? Who made that rule? I didn't know that."
She softened her tone: "Just tell me, is it true that she was bullied?"
"Someone was having a snowball fight in the library, which affected her, and she didn't apologize."
Pingyuan stuffed a box of bright red fruit into her hand and ran towards the library, saying, "I understand, thank you, please have some fruit."
Pei Hening held a heavy box of unknown fruit in both hands, watched her departing figure, and continued walking towards the parking lot.
After returning to the RV, she first put on [unnecessary explanation] and wanted to check the fruit that the bottle had given her.
As a result, this guy still went on strike and gave up.
Pei Hening: "..."
After being activated by magic [explained in more detail], it finally made a sound.
(Are you suggesting a novice like you switch careers to become a fruit vendor?)
(They're wasting their talents, you're using a cannon to kill a mosquito!)
(This is a sweet fruit, a sweet fruit that's fragrant and edible. City bumpkins have no idea about it!)
(I am the greatest product of the Magic Era, and you actually use me as a search engine, sigh:-()
Pei Hening touched his nose and said, "Search engines aren't as good as you. It's not beneath you to let you look at fruit. Even the most powerful creatures need to ingest energy to maintain their life characteristics."
"What embarrassing thing?" Chu Xuange heard Pei Hening muttering as soon as he got into the car. He asked with a smile as he hung up his coat.
Pei Hening pushed up his glasses and said, "I asked [Unnecessary Explanation] to check the fruit information for me, and it said I'm a novice who switched to being a fruit merchant."
"A newbie switching careers to become a fruit merchant? Haha, that's quite accurate. Baby, do you want to start a fruit business?"
Pei Hening carried the box towards the kitchen area: "You actually joined in making fun of me with it! I'll take it to wash, but I don't know if it'll taste good."
Chu Xuange also went into the kitchen. He was steaming rice and taking out some vegetables from the refrigerator to prepare.
"Want to try some?"
Pei Hening offered him a sweet fruit. Chu Xuange looked up at her, took a bite, and commented, "It's very sweet, and the flesh isn't greasy. You should try some too."
Pei Hening noticed that the half-eaten fruit he had taken a bite of contained a pit. "Is it a seed?"
Chu Xuange: "It should be."
She handed him the remaining half of the sweet fruit: "You finish it, then give me the pit. I'll try planting it."
Chu Xuange complied with her wishes. After eating the fruit, he washed the seed: "The seed coat is a bit thick, so it might be difficult for it to germinate. Be prepared."
Pei Hening took the seeds and nodded: "I understand."
She took a sheet of kitchen paper, wrapped the seeds in it, sprayed some water on them, and placed them next to the two potted plants she had bought from the black market.
After Chu Xuange finished preparing the ingredients, he started cooking. He asked, "Baby, are you going to watch the exchange competition tomorrow?"
Pei Hening took out an empty flowerpot, filled it with soil, and said without looking up, "Go ahead, it feels like a rare lively scene."
"Okay, then we'll finish our planned itinerary tomorrow morning and head to school."
Going to school is fine too, there are plenty of empty classrooms there, which would be convenient for him to record the techniques for making potions. He doesn't want to make them in the baby's study or the potion-making room yet.
This also made it easier for him to communicate and exchange some details with Helian Ye.
[Princess Ningning]: Go to school after you reach your target mileage tomorrow? Didn't you want to learn alchemy?
[In good spirits]: Okay, I'll do it your way.
Helian Ye really wanted to join in the fun, but he also knew the priorities.
