People are collapsing, but the integrated strategy is launched

"Hey! Who are you talking about as the mascot?" Theresa stomped her feet in anger.

"Here, look, that's it." Ji Zi smiled helplessly at Xia Ling, turned around and left gracefully.

A few minutes later, amid the roar of its engines, the Hyperion slowly approached the shore and stopped at the port of St. Freya's College.

After the ship came to a stop, Theresa took Xia Ling off the ship, and the two of them strolled together in the square of the academy.

"Here, remember this wall. If a student skips class, she will usually climb over this wall. If you want to catch her, you can wait here."

It's here... Xia Ling looked at the wall in silence and subconsciously asked a question she already knew the answer to: "Then why don't you make the wall higher?"

"We've already extended the class twice." Theresa stared at the academy, her eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and pampering: "It's a pity that it seems that there is no improvement in the situation of students skipping classes."

"I recently planned to raise the height once more, but I probably won't raise it again. If I raise it any higher, I'm afraid they might fall and get hurt."

Chapter 18: St. Freya's New Assistant

"Also here, this bush is often hid by people. For example, my niece who loves to skip classes has already skipped four or five classes in just one month."

"Every time she skips class, she'll run here and hide. I still don't know why."

"Maybe it's because the sunshine here is the best." Xia Ling's face also showed a somewhat sad and nostalgic smile.

Xia Ling and Theresa chatted as they walked, passing many places that brought back memories for Xia Ling. Soon, the two had passed through half of St. Freya's College and arrived in front of the teaching building, where Theresa's office was.

"By the way, Xia Ling." Sitting at the desk and turning on the computer, Theresa suddenly looked up and asked, "What identity do you plan to take?"

"identity?"

"Yes, do you want to be a student, a teaching assistant, or a teacher?"

"Um, can I ask what you're planning on having me teach you?"

"Don't be so unconfident about yourself." Theresa chuckled: "I think your level is good enough to teach them math or liberal arts. You should be able to get the hang of it quickly after some tutoring."

"Forget it. If I want to be a teacher or a student, I'll have to trouble you to prepare a complete set of identity information for me. That would be too much trouble."

Xia Ling shook her head like a rattle: "Teaching assistants shouldn't have to go through such a complicated process. It's better to keep it simple."

"Actually, they're all pretty much the same... and it's not that troublesome." Theresa muttered quietly, then said, "Forget it, since you don't want to be a teacher, I'll make you an assistant teacher first. If you want to become a full-time teacher in the future, come find me."

"So what do teaching assistants usually do?"

"Well...it's hard to say." Theresa thought for a moment and said, "If I have to describe it, your duties are similar to those of a class teacher. After all, in addition to being a substitute teacher, Jizi is also the captain of Hyperion, and there are many things she needs to deal with every day."

"And you can't help much with the professional courses. At most you can help teach a few cultural courses."

"I see. I understand." Xia Ling nodded. "Then it's totally fine with me. Besides, I'd be happy to help Ji Zi relieve her stress."

Seeing that Xia Ling was fine, Theresa felt relieved and took out a set of identity documents, a teacher terminal, two keys to Ji Zi's villa and the first month's salary from the cabinet and gave them to Xia Ling.

What? You ask why there is still salary? Because Xia Ling is penniless now. Without salary, she can't even afford lunch today.

"Well, Xia Ling, you can go to St. Freya College by yourself in the next period of time. There is a map of the college in the teacher terminal. If you are tired of walking around, you can go home and take a look. Although Ji Zi usually comes back very late, there is a chef in the villa who can satisfy your appetite."

"Is this the key to Ji Zi's house?" Xia Ling looked at the key in her hand: "I thought..."

"You are Ji Zi's teaching assistant, so you must live with her." Theresa showed a sly smile on her face. "But Ji Zi's villa is very big, so there are quite a lot of people living here. My niece and her two friends also live here."

"Don't be shy, just get along well with your roommates."

Wanting to help me get out of my current state of semi-autism by building new friendships and bonds, and keeping me by your side to observe the situation, Theresa is really...

Understanding Theresa's painstaking efforts, Xia Ling raised her head and gave Theresa a faint smile for the first time: "Thank you, Theresa."

After turning around and saying goodbye to Theresa, who was a little embarrassed by her sudden blunt shot, Xia Ling opened the teacher terminal and navigated all the way to the commercial street.

After all, she is going to start a new life from today, so she has to prepare some personal items. This is not like when she is taking trials in the system, where she can ask the system to materialize whatever she wants at any time.

After some shopping and a hearty meal, Xia Ling came to Ji Zi's villa, found her room, and began to clean up.

......

"Mei, Mei, I passed the make-up exam. I'm going to eat ten fried chicken legs tonight!" Kiana said excitedly to Mei while jumping on the road.

"Stupid Kiana, it was obviously Bronya's virtual reality connector that did the trick. If we only rely on stupid Kiana's paramecium-like brain, we won't be able to pass even if we review for another month." Bronya and Kiana began to bicker with each other on a daily basis.

"What? It's obviously all thanks to my intelligence!"

"Okay, okay, since you passed the make-up exam, you can eat as much as you want." Mei looked at Kiana and couldn't help but smile dotingly, "However, it just so happens that Teacher Himeko also asked me to prepare more ingredients today. It seems that she is going to... welcome guests?"

"Sister Mei, I heard from a student who skipped class next door that she saw a new face in the commercial street today. The person was wearing a student uniform, but she had never seen him before. Could this be the person we are going to welcome?" Bronya thought for a moment and shared a piece of gossip she heard at noon.

"Hmm... that should be it." Mei said thoughtfully: "Although we have only been here for a short time and have not recognized all the classmates, those who have been here for a year or two must have a basic impression of everyone in the academy."

"If they don't know him, then he's most likely the person we want to welcome."

"Great! I hope this classmate can also live in Jizi's house." Kiana cheered, "Otherwise, Jizi's house is so big, and Jizi and Theresa often don't come home at night, so such a big villa is always empty."

"Stupid Kiana, is it really because Mei-nee has to cook that you can only play games with Bronya, resulting in you having no gaming experience at all, so you can't wait to find an opponent you can beat?"

Bronya continued to ruthlessly reveal Kiana's true thoughts.

"I can't beat you?" Kiana got angry again: "That's because I'm letting you, a little one!"

"Okay, okay, stop arguing. If anyone starts arguing, there will be no chicken legs tonight."

After playing and fighting all the way, the three of them finally returned to Ji Zi's villa.

"I always feel like there's a weird feeling."

Bronya floated in the doorway, looking around with a frown.

"Hmm?" Kiana followed Bronya's gaze left and right, but couldn't figure out what was going on.

"Ah, I see!" Mei clapped her fists and suddenly realized, "Because the environment at the entrance has been tidied up. Look, these flowers and plants are much neater than in the morning."

Just as the three were still studying the changes in the environment at the door, the door of the villa suddenly opened. Then, a little head with smooth black hair poked out of the door, looking around with a puzzled look.

Chapter 19: Peaceful Daily Life Finally Begins

"Are you... the guest that Teacher Himeko mentioned?" Mei asked uncertainly.

"Well, to be precise, it's your future new roommate." Xia Ling pushed open the door and called to them, "Come in quickly, what are you standing outside the door for?"

"Wow, you really are my new roommate. How old are you, little sister? Are you also a new transfer student?" Kiana, who was very outgoing, came up to Xia Ling when she heard her greeting and started asking questions.

"Little...little sister?" Xia Ling frowned.

Although I am shorter than Mei and Kiana, I am still taller than Bronya anyway. Do I look very young?

"Ahem, it's the teacher." Xia Ling patted Kiana's head expressionlessly.

Worthy of being a bug, it feels really good...

"Teacher?" The silly smile on Kiana's face froze.

As we all know, Kiana's academic performance is very poor.

"Yes, I'm a new teaching assistant. I'm mainly responsible for helping Ji Zi deal with some daily affairs and teaching some cultural courses." Xia Ling explained, then looked at Kiana with a kind look: "I've heard about Kiana's situation a long time ago. I hope we can get along well in the future."

"Okay, okay teacher..." Kiana couldn't laugh anymore. According to the law of conservation of smile, the smile on her face transferred to Mei and Yaya's faces.

"Teacher, why are you wearing a school uniform? We heard a classmate say that there was a new face wearing a school uniform in the commercial street today, and we thought there would be a new student transferring here today."

Bronya asked with the same deadpan expression.

[By the way, are there two people with three-no attributes in this room? Their attributes collide! ]

The system was complaining in Xia Ling's mind.

"Well..." Xia Ling nodded her chin, "Because I encountered some trouble on the road, and then we had a big fight, and as a result, my clothes were almost torn, so Ji Zi found me a set of school uniforms to wear first."

As she spoke, Xia Ling glanced at the melancholy Qiana next to her, pulled her over, and rubbed her cheek: "Don't be so sad, I won't eat you up, don't worry, I will help you finish the homework you missed."

"It's because you, teacher, seem so serious and responsible that I feel melancholy." Kiana muttered softly.

"Oh, by the way, Teacher, you haven't eaten yet, Teacher Himeko specifically told me to buy more ingredients today to welcome you." Mei raised the ingredients in her hand.

"Yes, yes, yes!" When it comes to eating, Kiana instantly perks up: "Mei's cooking skills are very good, teacher, just prepare to feast on your appetite!"

"Don't call me teacher, just call me Xia Ling." Xia Ling pinched the hair hanging by her ear a little embarrassedly: "I'm only a few years older than you. It sounds weird to call me teacher. Just call me Xia Ling."

"As for cooking, I'm actually pretty good at it, right? So, I'll help with dinner tonight."

"Hey, Sister Xia Ling, can you cook too?" Mei may have felt that it was impolite to call her by her name, so she added "sister" at the end.

"From the name, Sister Xia Ling should be from Shenzhou. Then Sister Xia Ling's cooking skills should not be bad either." Bronya said on the side.

"Well... Shenzhou, I guess..." Xia Ling's expression froze for a moment, then she changed the subject as if nothing had happened: "But I am indeed good at Shenzhou cuisine."

"Great, two chefs!" Kiana cheered.

"Then I have to learn well from Sister Xia Ling." Mei had her usual gentle smile on her face, with a hint of fighting spirit in her eyes.

......

In the evening, after Xia Ling and Meiyi had been busy for two or three hours, a sumptuous meal was served on the table.

Then, Ji Zi and Theresa also celebrated Xia Ling's joining.

After the welcoming banquet, Ji Zi took Xia Ling aside and told her about the things to pay attention to when being a class teacher, as well as some work schedule arrangements.

He also repeatedly told Xia Ling to "take good care" of Kiana.

Under Kiana's pitiful gaze, Xia Ling agreed to it without hesitation.

At night, Xia Ling, who had been busy all day, lay on the bed in her bedroom, looking like she was sleeping peacefully.

However, in fact her consciousness has already entered the system space.

[How is it, host? I finally saw the three great families that I had always dreamed of. How do you feel? ]

"How do you feel..." Xia Ling pondered, still immersed in the evening's welcoming banquet: "Just like the first time we met."

"So, I am more determined to protect this beauty."

[Seeing that the host is still so motivated, I feel relieved. 】

[However, does the host feel like he has forgotten something? 】

"Ah?" Xia Ling tilted her head, looking confused: "Forgot, forgot what?"

[Host, please reinstall the system! You don't want the newbie gift package and compensation, right? ]

"!"

"Oh my god, I really forgot about this!" Xia Ling slapped her head, "But you can't blame me. It's been a month since I first traveled through time. It's normal for me to forget."

[Yes, yes, so the host wants to reinstall now? The system installation will take a day, and you will not be able to use the system functions during this period. Of course, I can still continue to chat with you. ]

"Of course, let's finish the reinstallation as soon as possible, while there is nothing else to do at this time. By the way, system, do you know what the novice gift pack and compensation are?"

[Well... I really don't know. I know the novice gift package should be six source stone ingots, but I really don't know what the compensation is. ]

[Host, you should know that a malfunction in the transmission system that causes huge losses to the travelers is a very serious case. This is the first time I have seen such a situation, but it shouldn't be that bad.]

"So the novice gift pack is for me to use directly at level 1?" Xia Ling was extremely sensitive to the number of six source stone ingots: "So this is really a hellish start for me!"

[Hehehe, that’s why I said the host is awesome. ]

[However, a hellish start also has its advantages. ]

"Oh, how do you say this?"

[With the six Originium ingots from the Novice Gift Pack, the host's resources have reached 3 Hopes and 10 Originium ingots. ]

[The six-star random recruitment ticket is half price for the first time, and after half price, it only needs 3 hopes and 15 source stone ingots. ]

[In this way, as long as the host passes at most two more trials, the host's first character card will be a six-star card, which will be of great help both in the next trials and in the real world. ]

"That's right... But system, how are the star ratings of these character cards calculated? It shouldn't be based on strength, right?"

[Of course, no matter how powerful these characters are in the game, the abilities you draw will be localized and transformed, and in terms of magnitude, they are all at the same level.]

[However, the higher the star rating of the character, the greater the potential. ]

Chapter 20: The Dignified Teacher Xia

"Potential? Does it refer to the use and storage of Houkai energy?"

【You can say that. 】
