Assistant Teacher 1

After spending some time with Ma Xiaotao, Jiang Che returned to his residence. He also studied the system that had arrived late, only to find that aside from issuing tasks, it stayed blank the rest of the time.

"System, open the panel!" Jiang Che tried communicating with it, but there was no response.

"System, tell me what you can do!"

"System, what are you good for?"

"System, do you have a lottery or a shop?"

"Open sesame?"

Jiang Che refused to give up and called out a few more times, but the system remained completely unresponsive.

Huh? Is the system broken again? Jiang Che wondered.

Jiang Che kept studying it until the middle of the night before finally giving up. He realized that this panel was just a task panel, not a system he could talk to.

Jiang Che sighed. This thing was like a stone embedded in his consciousness. Apart from occasionally popping up a line to tell him what to do, it spent the rest of the time lying there, lifeless and silent.

[Today is the first day of school. You and the Son of Fortune of this era, Huo Yuhao, as well as Wang Dong, daughter of the God King Tang San, are all in the same class. Both of them will become gods in the future. As someone who firmly follows the way of keeping a low profile, you feel that even if you can't befriend them, you mustn't offend them—especially the God King's daughter. No one knows what safeguards the God King has left her.]

[Task issued: Please go to your class and establish a good relationship with the future powerhouses. This is important to keeping a low profile. We should make more friends and fewer enemies. No one knows whether you might need someone else's help in the future.]

[Task requirements: Make an impression on Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao by showing them what you're good at.]

[Task reward: Increase Soul Ring age (the amount of the increase will depend on how deep an impression you leave on Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao)]

???

Jiang Che had only just opened his eyes when the panel's message left a question mark hanging over his head.

He was a 22-year-old Titled Douluo, at the very age when he should be making his mark, yet the panel claimed he was someone who kept a low profile?

Seriously? He had the kind of protagonist's script where everyone would look at him and cry, "A genius has risen!" as he swept across the land. How could he possibly be someone who followed the way of keeping a low profile?

And now it was earnestly lecturing him to make more friends and fewer enemies.

With his current strength, all he had to do was puff out his chest a little, and that so-called Huo Gua would be bowing before him.

As for Wang Dong? Uh... never mind. He really couldn't afford to provoke her right now. Everyone knew that a certain God King was keeping a constant eye on her every move, and had even left a divine sense inside her Sea of Consciousness.

If he dared lay a hand on her, he would probably vanish from the face of the earth the very next second.

Ahem, getting sidetracked.

Jokes aside, the reward was pretty good. Generally speaking, the only ways to increase the age of a Soul Ring were to undertake a divine trial or consume a heavenly treasure.

All he had to do was meet the "future powerhouses" and leave an impression on them.

Compared with undertaking a divine trial or searching for heavenly treasures, this task was nothing.

The simplest, most direct approach would be to go over and unleash his pressure on them. That was guaranteed to leave a deep impression.

But that was just wishful thinking. He couldn't actually do that. If he suddenly went and unleashed his pressure on students whose cultivation was only at the Soul Elder level at best, Jiang Che would probably be expelled from the sect by his beloved teacher, Mu En.

P.S. The author has to take part in next week's trial run, so for now I can only update half a chapter a day. I hope my dear readers will forgive me. Regular updates can resume next Wednesday.
