Learn one small skill every day

Upon hearing this, Hu Muyao exclaimed, "What? You misread it?"

"How...how old are you?"

"14 years old, what's wrong?"

Le Shi took a deep breath: "I shouldn't have had too many expectations of him."

"Oh? How did you two meet?"

Hu Muyao thought to himself, "This won't do. This is a crime."

"We met online, why are you asking these questions?"

"Then why did you think of coming to see him? Is there anything you need from him? I can help you."

"Suspicious... What business is it of yours if I'm looking for him? And can you stop treating me like a child? Move aside, I want to go home."

Hu Muyao shrank back, not understanding why this little girl had such a bad temper.

But since the other party wants to go home, there's nothing I can do to help.

However, Hu Muyao decided to report to his captain about the middle school student coming to find Bai Miao first.

If Bai Miao really commits a crime, then it's up to me to stop him.

After Le Shi boarded the high-speed train home, she happened to run into someone asking her if she had met White in person and if she had joined White's team.

"The person is dead, what kind of team am I supposed to form? I really can't believe that an Aleph-level Door Knocker could die inside a door. He's a disgrace. It's a good thing he's dead, otherwise I would have been screwed over by him if I teamed up with him in the future. He was just a lucky guy after all."

"Huh? White died in the dungeon? Who told you that?"

“I went to his house in person to check. His neighbor said he passed away today, and he didn’t reply to my messages. He must be dead!”

"Holy crap, this is big news! I have to share this right away."

Rumors spread like wildfire, and the Knockers Square was filled with news that White had died, with all sorts of bizarre accounts of his death.

"Wake up, wake up, wake up!"

Bai Miao was woken up by Zhao Wanyang. The group had bought soft sleeper tickets, with Bai Miao sleeping in the lower bunk and Zhao Wanyang sleeping in the upper bunk.

Once on the train, Bai Miao lay down to catch up on his sleep. Since there was nothing else to do on the train, he figured he might as well take a nap.

"What's wrong?"

Zhao Wanyang sat on Bai Miao's bed and said softly, "Look at the Knockers website, everyone's spreading rumors about your death. Go up there and say something to show that you're still alive."

"what?"

Bai Miao quickly logged on and found that the entire Knockers Square was filled with people talking about their own deaths.

Not only that, Hu Muyao also sent a private message asking, "I don't know why they all say you're dead... but you really need to be careful not to break the law..."

"what??"

Bai Miao wondered how long he had slept on the train.

Why is everyone saying they don't understand what they're saying?

Seeing that the people in the square were getting more and more excited with their conversation, Bai Miao shut everyone up with a single sentence.

"Bullshit! I'm still alive! Who said I was dead?"

"It's @GeniusLimbogainstChild".

The genius with a mental disability: "It was the musician who said, 'Don't cause me any trouble!'"

A group of people can betray their teammates very quickly.

Musician: "Why didn't you reply to my messages? I went to your door to look for you, but your upstairs neighbor said you left today."

"I'm leaving, but I'm not allowed to travel to other places?"

"Then why don't you reply to my messages?"

Why should I reply to your messages?

Bai Miao felt completely confused.

Hu Muyao also saw the conversation between the two and quickly apologized in a private message: "I'm sorry... I thought the 14-year-old girl who came to see you today was your online friend... I didn't expect it to be her..."

Do you think I'm some kind of strange person?

"...Because they said that Tu Shanqing's appearance seems to be determined by what you said when you asked for the title..."

That's it, now I'm in deep trouble.

The person who leaked it must have been that mischievous kid. At the time, only a few people in the dungeon knew about the matter of seeking the seal, and Wang Xiang certainly wouldn't have said such things out of boredom.

Zhao Wanyang had absolutely no idea that Tu Shanqing was that fox.

Tu Shanqing was engrossed in playing the game console when he saw Bai Miao's gaze and thought he wanted to take the game from him. He immediately glared at Bai Miao and protected his game console.

Bai Miao kicked her off the bed: "Go play on your own bed."

Tu Shanqing rubbed his bottom, gritted his teeth, climbed to the lower bunk opposite him, and settled into a more comfortable position.

Why not take a plane?

Bai Miao was curious to know why the other families didn't have the financial means to not even afford plane tickets.

If it's for taking care of herself, that's even more absurd; Zhao Wanyang knows she doesn't lack money right now.

Moreover, the price of a soft sleeper on this train is not much different from that of an airfare.

This resulted in a pitifully small number of people in the entire sleeper car. In fact, the room that Bai Miao and Zhao Wanyang shared originally had four beds, but there was no one else besides the three of them.

The other four students happened to be staying in another room, making it just the seven of them in the entire carriage.

This saved us a lot of trouble.

“Slow down a bit, I think the pace of life has been too fast since high school, and you’ve been busy lately, right? Why don’t you take your time and enjoy the trip? Come out with me around 6 pm, and I’ll show you some good stuff.”

"Tear!"

Tu Shanqing tore open a bag of sunflower seeds on the bed and started munching on them with an air of nonchalance.

"Don't litter the sunflower seed shells, put them in the trash bag!"

"Oh... Hmph."

Tu Shanqing defiantly put all the trash into the bag.

"Your distant cousin is quite obedient."

"Listen to me... Heh, let's just say that."

"What do you want to eat tonight? I'm thinking of cooking some instant noodles."

"Instant noodles are good too, I'll have a cup too."

Bai Miao hadn't eaten instant noodles in a long time.

The last time I took a train must have been a lifetime ago.

Back then, when I went out to work, I took those old-fashioned green trains. To save money on the ticket, I bought a hard seat ticket and sat for a full thirty hours. My back ached after I got off the train.

Looking back now, they are all memories worth cherishing.

After feeding Tu Shanqing a bowl of instant noodles, Zhao Wanyang couldn't wait to take Bai Miao to see some good stuff.

"Look outside."

Zhao Wanyang led Bai Miao to the connecting area between the carriages. At that moment, the train was passing through a large wheat field, with the golden sunset and the wind blowing through the wheat.

"How is it? Isn't it beautiful? I was able to buy a ticket for this carriage because there are fewer people now. During the peak holiday season, I heard that you can't even get a standing ticket for this train. Everyone wants to see the scenery of this rice field."

"Wow, the people here are quite good at farming. This rice looks like it has been carefully cultivated. The person who improved this variety must have put in a lot of effort."

Tu Shanqing had somehow gotten up and was now pressed against the car window, staring intently at the vast rice paddies outside, muttering exclamations of wonder.

Zhao Wanyang stared down at Tu Shanqing, already regretting that she had agreed to let Bai Miao bring her distant cousin on the trip.

Since you're only out for a few days, you could easily entrust your care to someone more reliable, like Professor Wang.

If all else fails, you can keep it at home for a few days.

Why do I have to bring it?

Bai Miao silently watched the scenery rushing past the window. The clattering of the train wheels seemed to carry Bai Miao away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and also made Bai Miao temporarily forget his identity and burden as the one knocking on the door.

At least for this moment, Bai Miao was just a traveler appreciating the beautiful scenery.

As long as you're still on your journey, you can temporarily put aside all your burdens.

Ten minutes later, the train passed through the wheat field, and Bai Miao returned to his room, still somewhat reluctant to leave.

Around 8 or 9 p.m., Bai Miao and Zhao Wanyang received a text message on their phones at the same time.

It was an admission letter from Peking University.

The admission letter came in both electronic and physical formats. The physical letter is in the mail, while the electronic version was sent in advance.

"It seems the matter of the new college has been completely settled."

The reporting date is also much earlier than other students who enrolled normally; they have to report in half a month.

"The acceptance letter has finally arrived. Now I can openly tell my dad that I got in."

"You scored over 700 on the college entrance exam, and he still doesn't believe you can pass?"

Zhao Wanyang sighed: "Don't even mention it. He kept telling me that most of the people admitted in recent years were those who participated in competitions, and that the number of people who were admitted through normal examinations was very small, so he told me not to be too happy too soon."

Zhao Wanyang poked her head out from the top bunk: "How about you be the class monitor in college?"

"With Squad Leader Zhao around, how dare I rebel?"

Bai Miao joked.

Zhao Wanyang was somewhat saddened: "I feel like I'm no longer qualified to be a class monitor after entering university. In high school, as class monitor, I could still do some things for my classmates because I had a good relationship with the teachers. But you know our class is very special, and I probably don't count for much in it."

"Look, my abilities are very average. I easily panic when facing danger in dungeons, and I don't have many useful items. I also can't figure out some puzzle-solving dungeons... If I were to become class monitor, I'm sure many people would object to me. But I've heard that university class monitors are just there to rack up credits. Our class probably doesn't need that, so I'm too lazy to be one. Let whoever wants to be one be one."

Bai Miao shook his head: "The book you got in the last solo instance will be very useful once you grow stronger."

The last dungeon reward for Zhao Wanyang was a book rated Teth, which only increased her maximum stamina by 5%, almost ruining her mentality.

After painstakingly conquering dungeons, all you get in the end is a lowest-level item.
