Chapter 85: Miners Childrens Middle School (2/2)
”Floating City Miners' Children Middle School?”
After more than an hour of trekking, Li Yao appeared in the ”limestone area” of the slum northwest of Floating City, in front of a dilapidated middle school.
More than a hundred years ago, there were several crystal mines with abundant reserves in the northwest of Fugo City. Several sectarian mining companies united to build the limestone area into a very prosperous mining area.
In its heyday, 100,000 miners and hundreds of thousands of family members gathered here, with its own schools, hospitals and various public facilities.
This middle school for the children of miners was established at that time.
However, the good times did not last long. As the mineral veins gradually dried up, all sects withdrew one after another, leaving only hundreds of thousands of unemployed miners and their families, and those who had access to them left one after another, leaving only tens of thousands of unemployed miners without other skills. , Still lingering here.
The Miner’s Children’s Middle School has also become the worst middle school in Floating City. It is totally different from a private high-quality middle school like Chixiao No. 2 Middle School, and it does not exist in the same world.
Li Yao walked into the campus, as if walking into a ruin that had been bombarded by cultivators. There were buildings in disrepair everywhere. The playground was also pitted. There was a dusty strength testing machine in the corner. The model turned out to be an old antique more than a hundred years ago, and it will fall apart when you breathe it out.
The various infrastructures of this school were established one hundred years ago. It has been getting older and longer, and it has already exceeded the period of use, and various problems have arisen.
What Grandpa Wang is repairing is the large-scale transistor system used to regulate the temperature in the classroom.
The transistors are like long snakes, passing through the sky above each classroom, and finally converge in the Fuzhen room behind the teaching building.
There are two sets of diametrically opposite rune array systems in the talismanic room. In the summer, when the ”frozen talisman” is activated, the transistor will spray air-conditioning; if the ”flame talisman” is activated in the winter, the transistor will emit heating, keeping the classroom like spring all year round. status.
Because of the alternation of cold and heat, thermal expansion and contraction, the crystal tube is prone to cracks. Although it is not complicated to repair, the crystal tube is intertwined. After dozens of classrooms, it is still very time-consuming and energy-consuming to completely repair it.
Grandpa Wang is old and dim-eyed. Whenever he encounters this kind of project, he will call Li Yao to help him.
Both of them were familiar with this kind of simple maintenance work, and there was nothing to say. Li Yao rolled up his sleeves and pressed his butt, and he and Grandpa Wang began to overhaul one classroom after another. They were busy for a long time, making trouble. With a sullen face, he finally cleaned all the transistors from the inside to the outside, and replaced the broken ones with new ones.
Li Yao put his ear on the transistor and listened for a long time, the sound was normal, the talisman array was running smoothly, and you're done!
Li Yao grinned, showing two rows of white teeth on his dark face: ”It's done, Grandpa Wang, I won't count the money with you this time, just as I honor Grandma Wang. If there is nothing wrong, I will go first! ”
”and many more.”
Grandpa Wang smiled like an old fox, and pulled Li Yao out of the school building. A chubby old man stood on the playground.
”Let me introduce you. This is the principal Mao of Miner's Children's Middle School and my old classmate.”
”Hello, Principal Mao.”
Li Yao blinked his eyes, a little strange. Repairing transistors is not a big project. At best, it costs a few thousand yuan. Why did Grandpa Wang pull out the principal?
Principal Mao and Grandpa Wang looked at each other. Both of them were a little embarrassed. After a moment of silence, Principal Mao squeezed a smile on his face and said:
”Student Li Yao, this is the case. I heard from Lao Wang that you have dropped out of Chixiao No. 2 Middle School and want to register for the college entrance examination as an individual. But you probably don’t know. The process of registering as an individual is very complicated. Let’s talk about you. A person may not find a suitable place for cultivation, so I think if you don’t dislike it, you might as well join our Miner’s Children’s Middle School. The registration process is handled by the school, and you can also practice here—you see, the practice here. Although the equipment is a bit old, the maintenance is good. It's better than tossing around at home! As for the cost, you can rest assured that I will not charge you a cent for the friendship between me and Lao Wang for so many years! ”
”What, Grandpa Wang, what are you...”
Only then did Li Yao realize the real intention of Grandpa Wang calling him over, and his heart warmed.
Grandpa Wang coughed twice:
”Little monster, the old man has heard about you. You offended people in Chixiao No. 2 Middle School. They are so powerful that they force you to drop out of school. Your body... has another small accident, I am afraid that you will not be able to pass the test. University, but don’t give up. Sprint here and try to get a better technical school. After graduation, come back and formally partner with me. I don’t have a son, and my grandchildren are not interested in repairing magic weapons. With two kicks, my second-hand magic shop will be reserved for you. Not to mention whether you make money or not, you can always eat with food, right?”
Li Yao took a deep breath and held back his heart.
Grandpa Wang didn't know that he had regained his strength, let alone the astonishing changes that had occurred in his brain. He thought that his spiritual roots were torn apart and he had completely become a useless person.
Even so, Grandpa Wang did not give up on him, he still tried his best to consider him, and even helped him find such a school!
Although this is the worst middle school in Floating City, Li Yao knew that Grandpa Wang had done his best.
A warm feeling slowly filled Li Yao's chest.
