Starting Cultivation in Wasteland-Chapter 509 - 379: Returning the Favor – Targeted (Double-Length - , Please Vote)
He realized where he went wrong, "Does the library have a high usage rate among students?"
This is a society with an information barrier, and libraries may not just be places for students to study.
To his surprise, Zi Jiu Immortal replied very straightforwardly, "Very high usage, the academy has a low threshold for reading."
It seems he underestimated Green Water Academy! Qu Jianlei seriously reflected on himself.
After all, this is the top academy on Star No. 2, and those who graduate from here are the pillars and backbone of society!
Although the information barrier exists objectively, the ones supporting and managing the whole society still have to be skilled and elite talents.
However, Zi Jiu Immortal’s next sentence was a complete reversal, "About one-third of those who read are students."
"What?" Qu Jianlei was dumbfounded upon hearing this, "Then who are the other two-thirds?"
"Of course, they are teachers," Zi Jiu Immortal glanced at him as if looking at an idiot, "Isn’t the library supposed to serve teachers?"
"Wait a minute," Qu Jianlei couldn’t suppress his curiosity, "Such a big library is specifically for teachers?"
"Isn’t it supposed to be like this?" Zi Jiu Immortal was full of doubt, "Do students have the qualifications to read books?"
Qu Jianlei was at a loss for words, in such a technologically advanced society, is it still this hard to gain knowledge?
The solidification of social class really is everywhere!
After about half an hour, the library finally opened, and Zi Jiu Immortal was somewhat pleased, "Today it’s not too late!"
Qu Jianlei followed her down the mountain while asking, "If a teacher goes to read early in the morning, will there be any objections?"
Zi Jiu Immortal gave him a strange look, "Teachers can borrow books home... If there’s no class in the morning, isn’t it good to read at home?"
"Alright, I have no more questions," Qu Jianlei shook his head, this esteemed academy is different from what he knows.
Is it very different? Not exactly, but the Divine Land doesn’t have this atmosphere, though some capitalist countries are quite similar.
However, Zi Jiu Immortal was very interested in discussing this issue with him, "Do you think students should be allowed to read?"
"Does my opinion matter?" Qu Jianlei chuckled indifferently, "I’m not an important person."
He had long lost his youthful enthusiasm of pointing out the country and inspiring words.
It’s good to have dreams, but when dreams can only be dreams, why bother saying them out loud?
But in the end, he couldn’t help but say, "Today’s students represent the future of the Empire!"
Zi Jiu Immortal shook her head, "The future of the Empire is families, capital; it’s nobility, conglomerates; it’s factions, monopolies..."
By the end, she sighed softly, speaking slowly, "Students represent the future too, I wish it were true, but is it possible?"
"Oh, come on," Qu Jianlei replied casually, "Your family is also a beneficiary."
Without Granny Jia’s supreme presence, could your days be so comfortable?
"Beneficiary..." Zi Jiu Immortal snorted softly through her delicate nose upon hearing this.
She understood what the other party meant, actually, if not for the existence of her great-grandmother, she never thought of her family as beneficiaries.
All along, she felt her family was the hardworking and upwardly mobile type.
Her grandparents both died on the battlefield, the elders sacrificed so much blood, is it too much for the descendants to enjoy a bit of shade?
So she couldn’t help but argue, "My family’s life has been stagnant, and even a bit declining."
"What is this so-called benefit you’re talking about?"
Qu Jianlei replied casually, "If not for the benefit, your family wouldn’t be slightly declining, but in freefall."
He’s seen someone return to their original state overnight.
For example, the kid selling superpower rice, who could have become a Modified Warrior but ultimately had to rely on selling superpower rice to make a living.
So don’t think that a declining family doesn’t benefit from privileges—decline is merely due to lack of successors.
Without Granny Jia propping it up, who knows what Zi Jiu Immortal’s family would develop into.
At the very least, the possibility of having everything consumed is there, and it’s not alarmist talk, but an objective possibility.
The two of them chatted like this as they walked to the front of the library.
Just as they were about to ascend the steps, a voice suddenly came, "Jiu Immortal, who is this person?"
They turned their heads to see a burly young man approaching, clearly with a B-level cultivation.
Zi Jiu Immortal frowned slightly, "Celt, please address me as Zi Jiu Immortal, our relationship isn’t that familiar."
Celt didn’t mind her words, he looked at Qu Jianlei with obvious vigilance... even hostility. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
"This is an outsider, and you’re taking him into the library?"
Qu Jianlei wasn’t bothered, instead sizing up the other with great interest.
He didn’t expect to encounter the legendary jealousy and rivalry, does this mean... he has indeed returned to normal life?
Zi Jiu Immortal’s face was as cold as water, speaking icily, "Do I need your consent to bring someone into the library?"
Celt kept staring at Qu Jianlei, though his peripheral vision still watched her.
Seeing her so indifferent, the hostility in his eyes became more pronounced, "The library is a crucial area, outsiders are prohibited, shouldn’t I care?"
"I know the boundaries, you don’t need to interfere," Zi Jiu Immortal glanced at Qu Jianlei, "Follow me."
Seeing her start up the steps, Qu Jianlei ignored the man and raised his leg to step on the stairs.
"How bold!" Celt shouted fiercely, raising his hand to perform a finger technique, sending a Water Tornado towards Qu Jianlei.
