Chapter 151 - A Stupid Question (2/2)

Reviewed? No.

There was even an “!” beside this man’s name telling her to be cautious.

Xie Yuexuan found her pa.s.sion was quickly turning cold. It did seem like a typical scammer to her, though she was smart enough not to a.s.sume this yet; there was still a very slim chance that she was truly talking to a newly registered t.i.tled warrior.

It didn’t hurt to try. This website dished out serious punishments to scammers anyway. [Greetings, sir. Are you available?] Xie Yuexuan typed her first message.

(I do online courses only. No on-the-spot appointments. Of course, such courses are cheaper.)

Wait, what? Xie Yuexuan halted in the middle of her next message. We’re not going to meet? What kind of private teacher is that??

[…How much for an online course then?] She had decided to drop the courteous tone.

(How about… 800,000?]

Heh. Xie Yuexuan spat. This guy’s an ambitious fraud, eh? He wants that kind of money just by typing a few words on the keyboard!

She did have a problem with her training right then, so she decided to proceed and see what would happen.

[Alright, I’ve been stuck at the sixth rank for a long time. Do you perhaps know how to help me to get to the next rank?]

She moved her cursor over the “report” b.u.t.ton just so she could hand this “cheater” to justice the moment she saw a dishonest answer that asked her to pay p.r.o.nto. A real t.i.tled warrior should be able to a.s.sist her without a problem.

Su Ping was indeed stumped by such a question, since he himself was only at the fourth rank. He had no idea what the “bottleneck” that separated those two ranks felt like.

M

(Well, these kinds of queries weren’t included in your original request, right? Didn’t you need a teacher to help you with your pets?]

Xie Yuexuan’s expression turned cold. She knew how this tutoring site worked; anyone could be registered as a t.i.tled battle pet warrior at the beginning, though they had to go through an official review process to get approved. Otherwise, a false registration would only result in their teaching license being permanently revoked.

Apparently, she was looking right at such a case. Xie Yuexuan made up her mind to embarra.s.s Su Ping further before hitting the report b.u.t.ton.

(Pets, eh? Alright. Let me ask this: how can a seventh-rank Corpse Dancer defeat a fire-type Limbo Lion?]

She hit enter, sat back on her seat and waited for Su Ping to come up with a lie.

Heh. They are both rare Astral Pets. It would also be rare for ordinary teachers to have seen them, let alone knowing how they fight. What can a liar do?

Su Ping’s message came. (Hmm… A Corpse Dancer can’t win against a Limbo Lion? But how? Is the lion at a higher rank?]

[Of course they’re at the same rank.] Xie Yuexuan wasn’t making things up; that question was an important task a teacher a.s.signed her.

She had spent several years exploring barren areas, after which she went to a college again to go for a higher degree, with the hopes of becoming a leader or a manager of settler teams, not an expendable foot soldier. To achieve this goal, getting a good score in college was crucial. She had to deliver all her homework and projects as best as she could.

(How about their skill sets?] asked Su Ping.

(Well, the standard composition you can find from the Federation’s book. The standard one.)

Su Ping held his chin and pondered. The ill.u.s.trated books published by the Federation came in different types aimed for pets of different levels. To most people, using a standard book was enough because it contained everything they should know about an average pet.

On a side note, pets that were qualified to be quoted by a standard ill.u.s.trated book were “inferior pets” according to the system.

Weird. An average Corpse Dancer should have enough skills to take down a Limbo Lion with ease. Do I really have to answer such a stupid question? Su Ping thought. He still did, since it was his job after all.
