Chapter 500: Chapter 224: Nickname... "Transcendent Art Student

"Don’t be impatient, give her some time." Mu Daxian was quite calm, "She’s probably checking the list."

A moment later, Class Teacher-040 reopened the peephole, her eyes rolling toward Mao Feiyang, "Mao Feiyang, is this your first time registering?"

Mao Feiyang thought for a bit, then said, "Yes, but actually yesterday..."

"No need to talk too much." Mu Daxian cut him off, looking into the eyes behind the peephole, "The Grey Mist has arrived; it’s time to initiate the emergency plan, Teacher."

"We have other things to do, so please hurry up and register us; we’ll visit the classroom and then leave."

"’The Grey Mist has arrived’?!" A sharp gleam suddenly flashed in Class Teacher-040’s eyes, in that instant, it was as if a crack of light tore through the black sky, startling Mao Feiyang.

"One moment." Class Teacher-040 closed the peephole and opened the door to the office, ushering Mu Daxian and Mao Feiyang inside.

Lin Yi’s perspective followed Mao Feiyang into the room.

Upon entering the Teacher’s Office, his first action was to glance at the wall clock.

The pendulum clock was ticking away methodically, showing the time at 16:12.

At this point, he should be looking for the Convenience Store with Li Huiyuan...

On the other side, compared to the battle-hardened Mu Daxian, Mao Feiyang curiously observed the surroundings of the office.

The Teacher’s Office was much smaller than the Art Office, and it was an incredibly drab single room with not even a window, making it feel like a prison cell.

The only difference was that at the back of the Teacher’s Office there seemed to be a curtain, and behind the curtain there seemed to be another room—perhaps a living space...

Lin Yi’s attention was quickly drawn to a cabinet next to the desk. His mind also echoed with the instructions from Class Teacher-039—

["There is a dictionary inside this cabinet. If... I mean if, one day you’re still outside the classroom at 22:00, come into the office to take this dictionary."

"When opening the door, you must be quiet, try not to wake your new class teacher."

"After you get the dictionary, you will know what to do."

...

"Of course, I hope that day never comes."]

"Class Teacher-039 left me a dictionary... but the conditions to obtain it are very strict... and said that once I got the dictionary, I would know what to do..."

Lin Yi frowned and pondered.

When Class Teacher-039 said those words, he seemed certain that something would happen at that time...

Could it be that "him at 22:00 in the Teaching Building" would definitely trigger the "need for a dictionary" scenario?

Is such a prediction really possible?

Or is it...

"No, no, the logic should be reversed!" Lin Yi seemed to realise something, "Once I’m still in the Teaching Building at 22:00, it signifies that I’ve encountered some kind of difficulty, and the information left in the dictionary by the class teacher is the method to guide me in resolving that difficulty!"

Just like the items obtained by tearing along the dotted line in the dormitory rules, or the small card in the Art Student Rules...

What Class Teacher-039 left for Lin Yi was a similar tool!

Class Teacher-039 might not have foreseen what Lin Yi would encounter, but by informing him of this "key," he essentially gave him an additional option.

This question might not be on the test, but I’ll teach you what to do if you encounter it.

This logical action was all too fitting for the occupation and identity of a "Teacher," wasn’t it?

Lin Yi couldn’t help but sigh.

"Let me see your Student Souvenir Coin," Class Teacher-040 said, settling down and looking at Mao Feiyang.

Mao Feiyang reached into his pocket and took out a Student Souvenir Coin.

On one side of the Student Souvenir Coin there was an intricate design of the World Tree encircled by Thorn Vines, and on the other side... there was just a blank face.

Class Teacher-040 looked at him puzzledly, "Where’s the number?"

Mao Feiyang was startled, then said, "Not this one, Teacher, wait a sec..."

And so, he reached into his pocket and kept fumbling around, but couldn’t seem to find anything...

The atmosphere became a bit awkward; to the uninitiated, it might seem as if something dropped out of Mao Feiyang’s underwear, and he was like trying to itch through his boot to get it back in place...

Class Teacher-040, with the face of the girl-next-door, gradually showed a weird expression: "..."

Mu Daxian couldn’t help but cover his face, "You the hell... why don’t you just take them out one by one? Like this, I’m finding it hard to watch; it’s quite unaesthetic..."

Mao Feiyang paused, then quickly realized something, his dark face flushed red in an instant like a red-hot coal...

"Sorry, sorry..."

While talking, he took out a handful of Student Souvenir Coins from his pocket.

Yes... a handful.

Lin Yi’s eyes nearly popped out.

What the hell is this?!

Why in the grass does he have so many Commemorative Coins!

Mu Daxian’s voice suddenly echoed in his ears—["You go ahead; I’m going to grab some Student Souvenir Coins."]

"Grab some"

Is this what they mean by... "grab some"?!

Lin Yi was becoming increasingly baffled by Mu Daxian’s actions. Come to think of it... ever since earlier, he had been faintly hearing some clinking sounds from the bag as Mu Daxian moved between the trees. So that bag also contained Student Souvenir Coins, huh?!

Lin Yi looked at Mu Daxian, who was still awkward on Mao Feiyang’s behalf, as if looking at a monster, thinking to himself, big brother, did you steal a whole shelf or what?

Class Teacher-040 was speechless too. She wanted to ask if he was wholesale buying from the Convenience Store, but then she suddenly remembered the rule about a maximum of three items per purchase at the cafeteria’s Convenience Store, and a sharp look subtly flashed through her eyes...
