33: Chapter 33 The Female Driver Who Sets an Example as a Teacher
Night, the moonlight spilled through the window like water, casting a faint silver glow on the floor. In the dim room, Su Qingyuan and Yun Zhuo lay on the bed, so quiet that they could hear each other's breathing.
Su Qingyuan lowered her eyelashes gently; she was pretending to be asleep.
Yun Zhuo, however, had developed a bad habit in his previous life: whether he was squatting in the bathroom or before going to sleep, he always loved to scroll through his phone.
Even without internet, he would flip through the weather forecast or calendar, always feeling like he was missing out if he didn't use it until the very last moment.
Now, without a phone here, he changed his method. Every night before going to sleep, he would look at Teacher Su's character panel; it felt just like watching stocks.

【Current status: Insomnia, secretly watching a kid named Yun Zhuo, eyes full of attachment.】
After showering, Yun Zhuo synthesized four more runes: Corrosion Energy absorption +5%, Damage +5%, Speed +5%, and Counter-damage +5%.
The first three runes had already been inlaid. Now, Yun Zhuo was hesitating whether to replace the corrosion crystal drop rate with counter-damage.
Forget it. Counter-damage didn't seem useful to him right now; he might as well stick with the drop rate bonus.
Just consider it pocket money for Teacher Su.
"Xiao Zhuo, are you asleep?"
Just as Yun Zhuo closed the panel and prepared to sleep, Teacher Su's voice rang out in the quiet room.
"I'm asleep, don't eavesdrop on my sleep talk."
"Hmph, Xiao Zhuo, I can't sleep. Let's chat for a while."
"Chat about what?"
"Do you know how to tell stories?"
"Tell a story? Alright. Once upon a time, there was a couple. The husband asked his wife how many partners she had before marriage. The woman said three. The husband asked again, 'Just three?'"
"The woman thought about it and said five."
"The husband asked again, 'How many are there, really?'"
"Teacher Su, do you know what the woman said?"
Teacher Su thought for a moment and said: "Eight?"
Yun Zhuo laughed: "No. The woman thought for a moment and said: 'There isn't even one, really.'"
The room was quiet for a few seconds, then suddenly, they heard Teacher Su covering her mouth and giggling.
Yun Zhuo was stunned; she actually understood?
"Any more?" Teacher Su asked.
"The boss's son was disobedient, so the boss's wife taught him a lesson, saying: 'Baby, you have older brothers and sisters too, but because they were disobedient, they were all eaten by Mommy.' The son heard this and burst into tears immediately."
Teacher Su laughed again; she actually understood that too.
"Any more?"
She still wanted to listen?
Yun Zhuo said: "The host asked a female guest: 'What is your biggest regret?' The female guest said: 'I forgot to turn off the light on the balcony.'"
"Forgot to turn off the light? What's there to regret about that?" Teacher Su looked confused.
Yun Zhuo laughed: "Because the light on her balcony was voice-activated; it would light up whenever someone called out."
Teacher Su was stunned for two seconds. This time, she didn't even cover her mouth; she hugged her quilt and laughed.
"Any more?"
"Teacher Su, did you know? My classmates and I always thought you were a pure and holy goddess."
"Hmph? Isn't your teacher that way?"
"But you know too much! Honestly, who did you learn this from?"
Teacher Su panicked inwardly, then coquettishly spat: "Peh, don't try to trick me. What about you? You're a student, how do you know so much? Who did you learn it from? Confess."
"What do I know?"
"You..." Teacher Su pulled the quilt over her head, playing the ostrich.
"Not so scared now, right?"
Teacher Su poked her head out from the quilt, thought about it, and nodded.
Yun Zhuo laughed: "Teacher Su, actually, all our fear comes from our strength being too low."
"Xiao Zhuo, don't put too much pressure on yourself. Strength doesn't improve overnight."
Yun Zhuo handed over two red corrosion crystals.
Teacher Su asked in confusion: "What for?"
"Payment for your services."
"You... I'm such a great beauty, am I only worth two hundred? No, ah peh, you're a hooligan."
Yun Zhuo laughed and tossed the corrosion crystals onto her pillow.
"Absorb the corrosion crystals when you have nothing to do, don't always think about those messy things. Long nights make it easy to get hot-headed if you think too much."
Teacher Su grabbed the corrosion crystals: "I wasn't thinking about those messy things. Give me two more."
Yun Zhuo tossed the bracelet directly to her: "Take as many as you want, I'm going to sleep first."
"Wait a moment, keep me company and chat a bit more."
"Please, can I compare to you? You don't have to use your brain during the day. If I don't rest well, my brain won't be enough."
"What is that supposed to mean, who said..." Teacher Su thought about it, and it seemed to be true.
After Body Integration, the control of the body was handed over to him; she really didn't have a need to use her brain.
However, she still refused to admit defeat and said: "Doesn't chatting with you require using my brain?"
"You have the nerve to say that? You're just a straight man, every time it's just: 'Eh? Oh? Hey! Ho~!' What brain are you using."
After saying that, Yun Zhuo turned over, his back to her: "Sleeping."
Teacher Su heard this and slapped the air towards Yun Zhuo, but it landed on her own quilt: "Stinky brat, is that how you talk to your teacher?"
The next morning, the four of them ate breakfast together.
Teacher Su's shoulder-length hair looked fluffier than usual, her Phoenix eyes were bloodshot, and even her usually sharp gaze had softened a bit.
"Teacher Su, did you not sleep well last night?" Ban Jinlian peeled an egg for her and placed it by her hand.
Teacher Su nodded and rubbed her eyes: "Maybe I'm not used to the bed. I only dozed off when it was almost dawn."
"Then why not take a day off today?" The teacher's wife turned to look at Teacher Wu.
Teacher Su shook her head: "It's fine. I don't need to use my brain for fighting anyway. I can sleep after Body Integration."
Nearby, Yun Zhuo said to Teacher Wu: "Teacher Wu, I want to ask you for a favor."
"I might not agree, but you can say it." Teacher Wu was busy eating breakfast and didn't even lift his head.
Yun Zhuo took out two drop rate runes and placed them on the table: "Teacher Wu, take a look at this drop rate boosting rune. Can one be sold for a million?"
"A million? Did you not get used to the bed last night either?"
He didn't even pick it up to look. Yesterday, this kid had dropped quite a few runes at the Temple of the God of Wealth, among which there were probably seventy or eighty that boosted drop rates.
But those trash runes that only boosted drop rates by 2% wouldn't even be picked up if they fell on the ground.
Even if this kid had synthesized them, drop rate runes had the lowest synthesis rate among all runes. It would be good if he could synthesize one that boosted it by 10%, but even that wouldn't sell for a million.
"Just take a look." Yun Zhuo pushed the runes toward his hand.
Teacher Wu stopped eating breakfast. Just to give this kid some Face, he picked it up and took a look. At that glance, he went dumb.
The teacher's wife nearby saw Teacher Wu staring blankly and couldn't help but curiously nudge him: "What's wrong? Speak up."
Teacher Wu turned his head mechanically and said to his wife: "Jinlian, this is actually a rune with a 54% drop rate increase. Can you believe it?"
"54%?" The teacher's wife's eyes widened instantly. She reached out, took it, and looked at it again and again: "Really?"
"Really, why would I lie to you?"
After speaking, he turned back to Yun Zhuo: "Where did you get this rune?"
"Synthesized it myself. Now tell me, is it worth a million?"
Although Teacher Wu had already guessed it, his pupils still couldn't help but shrink when he heard Yun Zhuo say it himself.
This kid's luck was too good. A 2% drop rate rune was actually synthesized to 54%. This was simply a synthesis saint.
