It was already noon when Tianyang returned to the fortress from the Drifting Town. He drove his blue light magnetic car to a restaurant called "Spring Ivy" in the upper city.
After ordering a single lunch, Tianyang took out his communicator while waiting for the food to be served, connected to the fortress's public network, and checked the latest courses at Tianqing College.
He should have a relatively long rest period next, and the boy does not intend to waste this time.
He wanted to learn about tactics and strategy.
He is about to be promoted to rank 5. If nothing unexpected happens, it won't be long before he has his own team like Cangdu and the others.
At that time, he will need to make decisions and formulate plans in the adversity world like Han Shu.
The boy doesn't want to regret later that he wasted his time and did not prepare himself before becoming the captain.
A captain needs to be responsible for his own team and his teammates.
Tianyang didn't think he could remain calm if his teammates were injured or killed because of his superficial decisions and strategies.
In particular, he and Han Shu once delivered nameplates to the families of the fallen soldiers. Those heartbroken eyes seemed to still flash before his eyes, and those painful and sad cries seemed to still ring in his ears.
Some inquiry.
I didn't see the information I wanted.
However, Tianyang still planned to go around the college after lunch.
Go see Lao Xu.
By the way, ask him as an 'insider' to see if there are any relevant courses.
The lunch the boy ordered was served.
This lunch includes a thick soup, a fried fish, stir-fried pork with green peppers, and a bowl of hot rice.
The boy enjoyed his lunch to his heart's content and finally burped with satisfaction.
The restaurant also gave a cup of hot tea to relieve the greasiness after the meal.
After enjoying the cup of hot tea, Tianyang paid the bill and left.
The afternoon sun was bright but not scorching. For someone who had been in the adversity world for more than a month, being able to bathe in such sunshine was a gift from God.
Yes, a gift.
After all, not everyone who goes to the opposite world can come back alive.
Adversity.
It is truly a magical world.
It is filled with darkness and is a paradise for monsters.
But before it slid into eternal night, it once belonged to the light, and it once had a splendid civilization.
To this day, there are still many scholars who are keen on digging out the remains of civilizations in the opposite world and unearthing the glorious history that once existed.
They discovered unparalleled works of art in the world of adversity and collected countless aphorisms that condensed the wisdom of their predecessors.
There was one motto among them that left a deep impression on Tianyang.
That's what it says.
'The today you waste is the tomorrow that the person who died yesterday longed for. The present you hate is the past that you can never go back to in the future!'
I still remember that when I was a child, every time I got tired of studying, my mother would use this sentence to remind me.
Now Nan Fei is gone, but Tian Yang still remembers this sentence and puts it into action, hoping not to waste every 'today'!
We have arrived at Tianqing College.
Tianyang parked the car and entered the college.
The college is still the same as before, the campus is quiet and sunny, with students and teachers walking around.
In every classroom, one can faintly hear the sound of the instructor lecturing or the sound of students reading aloud.
There is no smoke of war and no roar of monsters here.
Here, civilization is quietly nurtured.
Tianyang found the class where Lao Xu was teaching, and as expected, he saw him. The man took off his military uniform, walked up to the podium, and was explaining the common sense of the sublimators to the students.
Turning around inadvertently, Old Xu was stunned to see Tianyang. Then he smiled and gestured to the boy to wait.
Tianyang nodded, walked into the classroom like a student, and sat down in an empty corner.
Half an hour later, the class was over and Mr. Xu announced the end of get out of class.
Students filed out one after another, and Tianyang came to the podium only after everyone had left.
Old Xu clenched his fist and lightly hit Tianyang's shoulder: "Stinky boy, how long have you not been here? Where have you been all this time?"
Tianyang shrugged: "Where else can we go? To the opposite world."
Old Xu seemed to remember something and said, "I heard that a mysterious netherworld appeared recently. You didn't go there, did you?"
Tian Yang said in amazement: "You are well-informed. Are you really a lecturer?"
Old Xu said angrily, "What are you talking about? I am also a Night Walker. Not to mention that I go out drinking with the captain every now and then, I also have a group of old brothers. Maybe I am more informed than you."
Tian Yang laughed dryly: "I forgot, you are an encyclopedia, there is nothing you don't know."
Old Xu laughed and said, "Come on, let's go to my office and take a look."
Tian Yang exclaimed: "You have your own office?"
Old Xu pointed at his nose and said, "You sound as if I can't have my own office. Let me tell you, these courses I run are very popular, okay?"
"Now I'm a little worried that I'm too popular with students, especially the female students. They have started giving me gifts. I'm considering whether to reduce some courses, so that my damn charm will not lead those children astray."
Tianyang's mouth twitched, and he compared Lao Xu and Ye Xing in his mind. In some ways, the degree of shamelessness of the two could be said to be comparable.
Old Xu's office is not big, similar to his previous room in the team dormitory, but it is bright and clean, and is decorated with potted plants and bookshelves.
Especially the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, which give a lecturer-like feeling.
Tianyang also noticed a reimbursement list on his desk. The boy glanced at it casually and then was stunned.
The first few items on the list are pretty normal.
Books, office supplies, teaching equipment...
But then things got a little weird.
Potted plants, fertilizers, gardening tools, fluorescent lamps, and then some dolls, bed sheets, and toiletries.
Tian Yang couldn't help but look at the man who was watering the flowers: "You are in class, and you still need potted plants, dolls, and toiletries?"
"What."
Old Xu looked up and saw Tianyang looking at the list. He chuckled and said, "Little Tianyang, do you want me to teach you some tips on how to claim reimbursement?"
"Thank you very much."
Tian Yang shook his head: "I'm just curious, the academy actually gave you a list like this?"
Old Xu laughed and said, "You don't understand. Although I have some personal belongings in here, there are also some things that are useful for teaching."
"What's more, besides being a teacher, I am also a Level 4 Ascendant."
"Although I spend more time with a pen than a sword or a gun now, I am still a rank 4 after all. The academy should give me some respect."
Old Xu put down the watering can and said, "By the way, why don't you come to the college and get the title of honorary lecturer? Just give lectures to students occasionally, but the salary is not bad, the benefits are also very good, and you can also get reimbursement."
"Thank you again."
Tian Yang coughed dryly and said, "Let's talk about something serious. Old Xu, is there any lecturer in the academy who specializes in tactical strategies? I want to learn about this."
Old Xu was stunned for a moment, then a faint smile appeared on his face: "This is preparation for becoming the captain in the future."
You are worthy of it!
I guessed it right at the first try.
Tianyang nodded.
Old Xu looked out the window and sighed, "Tianyang, when I joined the Night Walkers, I also thought about it. One day, I will be able to lead my own team and explore the world of adversity."
"It's a pity that my potential is not as good as yours, and my luck is not very good either. I have been working for many years and have never been able to get promoted."
"From the initial enthusiasm, to the gradual fading of enthusiasm, to the day-to-day life of fishing in muddy waters. After that, I started a family, my daughter was born, I became afraid of death, and I lost my drive even more."
He walked over and patted the boy on the shoulder: "You are good!"
"very nice."
"On the world stage, some people are born to be the protagonists, while others work hard all their lives and are only small roles that can show their faces on the stage."
"You are the former, and I am the latter."
"Tianyang, come on."
The boy felt embarrassed for what he said.
Fortunately, Old Xu did not continue: "I will ask around for you. There should be similar courses. I will notify you when there is news. However, these courses will not be open to the public. There should be a high threshold for admission."
"But if it's you, there shouldn't be any problem."
The two chatted for a while, and then Lao Xu had other classes to attend, so Tianyang said goodbye.
Come to the parking lot.
A figure jumped into Tianyang's eyes.
The teenager couldn't ignore it.
Because, she is so beautiful.
Beautiful things always naturally attract people's attention.
Tianyang is no exception.
The female general of Storm took off her military uniform today and wore a slightly thin lavender long dress with a black short skirt underneath, revealing two white thighs, and the rest of her body was covered by black boots.
She was wearing glasses and holding a few books, and looked like a college student.
"Can you give me a ride?"
The general's voice was clear, beautiful and pleasant, reminiscent of white snow and cold plum blossoms, and had a noble and elegant temperament.
Tianyang found it hard to resist this request.
At the same time, it is indeed impossible to refuse.
So, under the envious eyes of the men passing by, Tianyang opened the car door, allowing this beautiful figure to disappear into the door of the blue light magnetic car.
"Who is that girl? Is there such a beauty in our college?"
"Who is that lucky guy again? Honestly, I'm jealous!"
Amid the whispers of the men around, the Blue Light car left the college and drove on the highway in the upper city.
Smelling the faint floral scent in the carriage, Tianyang coughed and said, "General, where should I take you?"
"Send me home." Feimei said lightly.
Tianyang thought so too. She was not suitable to go back to the military in her current outfit.
Feimei put the book on her lap: "What happened last night?"
Tian Yang couldn't pretend to be confused: "You mean, the matter of catching Qiu He?"
"if not?"
"I don't care if you're pretending to be a waiter, or a girl, or anything else."
Feimei looked at the young man, there was no smile on her face, her eyes were cold, and it seemed as if snow was falling in her eyes.
