Chapter 6 (1/2)
Sun Mo spent another day in the library. The book collections were simply too rich, and they allowed his understanding of the nine provinces of Middle-Earth to become even more detailed.
When it was almost midnight, Sun Mo closed the book he was reading and rested for a while, waiting for the notification from the system.
“Ding! Midnight has passed. The chance to draw one lucky treasure chest is refreshed!”
The Absolute Great Teacher System caused him to feel joy punctually every midnight. Without much expectation, Sun Mo told the system to open the chest.
Unfortunately, there were still no cool effects. The red-colored treasure chest with the word ‘fortune’ opened up, showing Sun Mo that he got another clump of soil.
“Are you asking me to eat soil?” 3
Sun Mo muttered. The system naturally didn’t bother to reply.
In any case, Sun Mo, who didn’t harbor any high hopes, went back to his reading. Time flowed by, and it was only until morning did his stomach tap out, feeling hungry.
“Let’s go and have a taste of breakfast in Jinling City!”
Sun Mo stood up, placing [A Basic Outline of Pill Alchemy] back onto the shelf and preparing to leave. But before he walked out of the entrance, he saw Li Gong’s limping figure waiting for him there.
The school had clear rules that the library was a place students could learn and read. Therefore, maintaining absolute silence was a must. If someone shouted, created a disturbance, or did something that had no relationship with learning here, they would be forcefully evicted and punished. For a year, they wouldn’t be allowed to enter the library again.
Li Gong naturally didn’t dare to berate Sun Mo in the library. Hence, he could only wait at the entrance.
Sun Mo halted his steps and stared at Li Gong.
Numerous rows of data appeared before his eyes.
Sun Mo glanced at these basic data, only looking at those he could use. Very soon, a smile appeared on his lips.
“Divine Sight is too awesome.”
Sun Mo sighed silently in admiration.
“Stop hiding here, scram out!”
Seeing that Sun Mo had noticed him and stopped there, Li Gong panicked. He immediately cursed silently. Would this brat be like a cowardly turtle and hide here? He shouldn’t have waited at the entrance but hid at some other spots to find a chance and catch Sun Mo.
The department head of the logistics department didn’t have a good temper. If someone didn’t do the thing he had instructed to do, they would definitely be out of luck.
Just when Li Gong was contemplating how he should get Sun Mo to leave the library, Sun Mo strode toward him and walked out. He didn’t hesitate at all.
After being in a daze for a while, Li Gong’s expression turned ashen. Was Sun Mo looking down on him? Did Sun Mo feel that because he was an intern teacher, a staff of the logistics department couldn’t offend him?
“Hmph. I will ‘fix’ you soon until you become autistic and scram out of this school yourself.”
Li Gong laughed malevolently and lunged over, preparing to let Sun Mo know how many teeth this old dog had left. 1
“Your leg was crippled 12 years ago.” 4
Sun Mo’s lips curled into a smile. The first rays of the morning sun cascaded down on his sharply contoured face, adding to his handsomeness.
“Eh?”
Li Gong had an expression as though he just saw a ghost. He wanted to curse, but all his words were stuck in his throat. Why? Because Sun Mo was right. His leg had been indeed crippled 12 years ago.
“Your leg was crippled by the Cloudpush Palm!”
Sun Mo was enjoying the shocked look on Li Gong’s face.
“Eh?”
Li Gong gasped in shock.
“The Cloudpush Palm is truly impressive. It took only three palm strikes to make your leg lame for over ten years. It hasn’t recovered until now!”
Sun Mo mocked.
“You investigated me?”
Li Gong ruthlessly stared at Sun Mo. His expression was as sinister as an infuriated wild dog. Having a crippled leg was the greatest shame of his life.
“Investigate you? Are you qualified?”
Sun Mo chortled.
Li Gong raged, but he regained his senses in the blink of an eye. He was just a small character, so who would care about him? Although one could purchase this information if one went to the black market, how much would someone have to spend? From what Li Gong understood, Sun Mo was extremely poor.
Alright then, even if Sun Mo had the money, he had only been in the logistics department for a few days and met him less than five times. In such a short time, even if it was the greatest information broker, they wouldn’t be able to gather such accurate information.
“How did he know that my leg was crippled by three palm strikes from the Cloudpush Palm?!”
Li Gong’s mind was filled with question marks. One must know that he had never mentioned it to anyone before.
“Scram!”
Sun Mo berated.
Li Gong’s heart wavered. He subconsciously opened up a path, but after that, he felt something was amiss and hurriedly took a big stride forward, blocking Sun Mo. Just when he was about to open his mouth to curse…
“There’s still hope for recovery for your lame leg!”
Sun Mo’s voice was relaxed. His tone was bright, and it was very melodious. However, to Li Gong, it was like the sound of a thunderclap, jolting him so much that he froze on spot.
The word ‘recovery’ was like a magical spell that kept echoing in his ears. It caused him to feel agitated. It made him timid, it made him hesitate!
“Scram!”
Sun Mo’s right hand pushed out, slamming into his waist.
Li Gong subconsciously retreated two steps. His expression was complex as he looked at Sun Mo’s departing back. He no longer dared to obstruct Sun Mo.
To a man whose leg had been lamed for over 12 years, there was nothing more attractive to him than being able to walk normally again.
For this, Li Gong would spare no expense.
“Is he playing me? Wrong, since he could tell that I was injured by the Cloudpush Palm and could even accurately say out the number of palm strikes, he should have a solution, right?”
