298 The Path of the Ball (1)

Ning Shi did not have time to care about Ball for the time being because half an hour had passed and it was almost time for the morning class.

Ye Hongmian picked up a stack of documents and said to Ning Shi, “Student Ning Shi, it’s almost time for class. I’ll continue teaching you after class.”

Ning Shi stood up and said to Ye Hongmian, “Okay, thank you, teacher. I’ll go to the classroom with you.”

Ye Hongmian did not refuse. The two of them walked out of the office together and walked side by side in the academy.

In terms of age, Ye Hongmian was 13 years older than the avatar in the game. She was two generations older than Ning Shi.

However, Ning Shi’s mental age was mature, and his mature temperament concealed the innocence of the clone.

In addition, the avatar had been training in the wild for nearly a month, so his body had long lost its childishness and was full of vigor.

Therefore, when the two of them walked together, they did not look like a teacher and a student at all. They looked more like peers.

Not only did she look like this, but Ning Shi had also always treated Ye Hongmian as someone of the same age and not as an elder.

Ning Shi looked at the documents in Ye Hongmian’s hands and casually said, “Teacher Ye, everyone is using electronic devices to record information now. It’s rare for people like you to still use paper materials.”

Ye Hongmian was holding the materials with both hands, but she could not hide the peaks on her chest. She said softly, “When I’m not in a hurry, I prefer to use pen and paper.

“They are real and have a touch. They can let me feel the content of my job as a teacher.”

Ning Shi understood Ye Hongmian’s thoughts. In the tide of technological development, there would always be some people who would look for some traditional things as their emotional sustenance.

“Life still needs some beautiful experiences and rituals,” he said. “Paper and pen indeed have irreplaceable touch and charm.

“Sometimes, you can only understand the deeper meaning of knowledge when you slow down.”

In the environment where Ye Hongmian grew up, she often abandoned electronic products and chose to use paper and pen to record things. Everyone around her saw her as an anomaly.

No one understood her actions.

She did not expect that there would be someone among the students of the origin planet who could express her feelings.

Ye Hongmian looked at Ning Shi and suddenly felt like she had met a soulmate in a foreign land. She smiled lightly and said gently, “As long as you don’t find it strange.”

Ning Shi pretended to exaggerate and spread his hands. “That’s impossible. Paper and pen are important tools in the origin of civilization. They are just like smart electronic products now. They are both tools.

“There is no distinction between advanced and simple tools. It is everyone’s freedom to choose what kind of tools they like to use for production or creative activities.

“No one can refute or criticize.”

Ning Shi grabbed the pen and paper and chatted with Ye Hongmian for a while. He seized the opportunity to increase Ye Hongmian’s favorability.

The two of them walked along the tree-lined path of the academy for ten minutes. Seeing that Academic Building No. 1 was in sight and the large classroom was about to arrive, Ning Shi quickly asked.

“Teacher Ye, do you know what a forbidden mecha and forbidden core are?”

When Ning Shi was checking Scarlet’s information, he saw that Scarlet was the owner of the forbidden mecha. From the notification of the second main storyline mission, he also learned that Nico possessed the forbidden core.

Ning Shi searched for relevant information on the AI network and the library, but unfortunately, he found nothing.

The forbidden mecha and the forbidden core were related to the completion of the main storyline mission. Ning Shi had always wanted to obtain relevant information.

Therefore, he took this opportunity to ask Ye Hongmian for advice.

When Ye Hongmian heard Ning Shi’s question, a hint of surprise flashed across her face. She did not expect Ning Shi to know about the forbidden mecha.

Ning Shi’s good impression of her did not go to waste. Ye Hongmian reached out her fair fingers and brushed her hair which was messed up by the morning wind as she replied gently.

“The forbidden mecha and forbidden core matter are rather sensitive. Although this matter has already been widely spread on certain levels, it’s still not good to talk about it in public.

“It’s not convenient for me to tell you in detail on the way. I’ll send the relevant information to your account in an encrypted form later.

“You can delete it after reading it.”

“Thank you, teacher!”

Since Ye Hongmian said so, Ning Shi did not continue to pester her.

The two of them went to the classroom together.

When they saw Ning Shi and the beautiful class teacher walk into the classroom together, all the students revealed shocked expressions.

Including Nico.

No one could figure out the relationship between Ning Shi and Teacher Ye.

In the Norse Republic, for ordinary people, entering an academy was the most important way for them to advance in social class. Therefore, the status of the teachers in the academy was extremely high, and the entire society respected the profession of teachers very much.

Moreover, teachers had great power. They could influence the results of the assessment and affect the future of their students.

Therefore, when the students faced the teachers, they were all trembling with fear and following the rules.

This was also the reason why Zhang Zhenfu, the student recruitment teacher of the City of Armor, had deceived his students so arrogantly. It was because he had used his teacher status to boss others around for many years.

People like Ning Shi, who dared to interact with the teacher as equals, walked into the classroom together with the teacher like good friends.

He was truly an anomaly among anomalies.

Facing the shocked gazes of his classmates, Ning Shi was very calm.

After two classes in the morning, he informed Nico and followed Ye Hongmian out of the classroom to the cafeteria for a meal.

The two of them talked like friends.

Ye Hongmian’s personality was more Buddhist. She was incompatible with the atmosphere of her family on Taining Planet, so she came to the origin planet alone to be a teacher.
