The next day.
The news of Flender, Zhao Wuji, and others becoming teachers at Thunder Academy reached Yu Xiaogang.
He was completely stunned.
Inside the room, the air seemed to solidify, suffocatingly oppressive.
After a long while, Yu Xiaogang's chest heaved violently, his breathing became heavy, his eyes were bloodshot, his cheeks began to contort, his knuckles cracked, and his fingernails dug deeply into his palms, oozing traces of blood.
Bang!!!
"Yu Luomian, you're going too far!!!" Yu Xiaogang roared.
He slammed his fist onto the desk, and a few cracks appeared on the heavy surface.
He didn't understand.
If Flender and the others could become teachers, why couldn't he?
Flender and Zhao Wuji were Spirit Saints, so that was understandable.
But what about those Spirit Emperors?
Their strength was mediocre, and they didn't know as much theoretical knowledge as he did. Why them?
Crash—
In a fit of rage, Yu Xiaogang overturned the entire bookshelf, and books scattered on the floor like snowflakes.
He grabbed a blue and white porcelain teacup and smashed it to the ground, the porcelain shards exploding, the crisp shattering sound particularly jarring in the room.
"Why... why?"
Yu Xiaogang growled, his voice hoarse, as if squeezed directly from his chest.
The humiliation and unwillingness he had endured during this period all burst out.
He violently kicked over the coffee table, sending wood splinters flying.
Outside the room, Flender, passing by, heard the sounds from inside.
"What's wrong with Dean?" Tang San asked.
"Don't call me Dean anymore, I'm a teacher at Thunder Academy now," Flender said.
"Dea... uh, Teacher."
"Hmm, Xiaogang is very angry inside, we'd better not go in."
"Angry? Is it because of the teacher's status?" Tang San immediately understood.
"It should be," Flender nodded. He was helpless too; who told you that you didn't have the strength?
If you had the strength, then even if Yu Luomian didn't want you to be a teacher, he wouldn't be able to stop you.
Tang San fell silent. He was increasingly looking down on his teacher.
Strength, none.
Knowledge, plagiarized.
Emotions, a liar.
Everything was fake. If it weren't for him being a member of the Tang Sect, with the saying 'a teacher for a day, a father for life,' he would really want to sever his master-disciple relationship with Yu Xiaogang.
It was truly a sin.
"Alright then."
Flender and Tang San immediately left.
As for the others, they cared even less about Yu Xiaogang.
Zhao Wuji and the others were quite happy about becoming teachers.
Thunder Academy was backed by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, one of the Upper Three Sects, so the resources were self-evident.
For them, it was an excellent place to retire.
Everyone was very satisfied with their salaries.
Dai Mubai and the others felt the same; this place was much better than Shrek.
Although there were no simulated training grounds, there were resources.
Unlike Shrek, where there were no resources, and even food was scarce.
Everyone felt good, only Yu Xiaogang's injured World was achieved.
...
A week passed in a blink of an eye.
Dugu Yan and the three other girls gathered at Xiao Ze's home.
"Xiao Ze, Xiao Ze, are the red beans and Green Bean ripe?" Ning Rongrong asked, hugging Xiao Ze's arm as soon as she arrived.
"That's right. Their quality has improved, and their ripening cycle has also sped up a lot. That's why I invited you all over to try them," Xiao Ze said with a smile.
"I wonder how much these Green Bean will increase our spirit ring years this time," Dugu Yan said with some anticipation.
"Yes, if they could raise my first two spirit rings to a thousand years, that would be great," Ye Lingling nodded.
Ye Lingling's Nine Heart Begonia only had one healing Spirit Ability, but as long as the overall spirit ring years were high enough, her healing ability would be stronger, even capable of regenerating severed limbs.
So, spirit ring years were still very important to her.
Overall, among the four girls, Ning Rongrong had the lowest requirement for spirit ring years.
Ning Rongrong's amplification was a fixed percentage increase, which remained the same no matter how the spirit ring years changed.
However, the increase in spirit ring years could reduce Ning Rongrong's amplification consumption.
This was still very important to Ning Rongrong.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was powerful, but it also required spirit power support.
Her Spirit Ability consumption was quite exaggerated.
Ning Rongrong was currently learning the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's Heart Separation Control. With Heart Separation Control combined with very high spirit ring years, Ning Rongrong could last longer.
For the entire team, that would be very good.
"Today I'll make red bean cakes and Green Bean cakes for you."
Just eating the beans themselves, it would be hard for everyone to stomach.
Although the effects were good, eating them once or twice was enough, but if they ate them every day, who could stand it?
"Okay!" The girls nodded.
Xiao Ze's cooking skills were getting better and better. When he had time, he would also make some pastries for everyone, and they all loved to eat them.
The preparation methods for Green Bean cakes and red bean cakes, although slightly different, could both be made together.
The first step: red beans needed to be soaked for 4 hours in advance, while Green Bean needed 3 hours.
Xiao Ze had already completed this step.
The second step: red beans needed to be boiled with water until soft and mushy, about 20 minutes in a pressure cooker. Drain them and mash them into red bean paste while hot with sugar.
Green Bean needed to be drained and then steamed for 40 minutes until they could be crushed with a pinch.
"Making pastries is really troublesome," Ning Rongrong followed Xiao Ze into the kitchen, looking around.
"So you should go back and sit down, I've got this," Xiao Ze said, exasperated, holding and caressing her hand.
"I just wanted to come and see. Maybe I can make them myself someday."
Hearing this, Xiao Ze thought of the two dark dishes Ning Rongrong had made, and he swallowed, it was too scary. He absolutely couldn't let her into the kitchen in the future.
Ning Rongrong's delicate brows furrowed slightly, "Are you thinking something bad?"
"No way, I welcome you to the kitchen."
As soon as he said this, Xiao Ze regretted it a little.
What if... what if she actually took it seriously?
Then his stomach would suffer.
Seeing Xiao Ze almost breaking out in a cold sweat, Ning Rongrong giggled sweetly.
"Alright, you don't have to be afraid, I won't go into the kitchen anymore."
Hearing this, Xiao Ze breathed a sigh of relief. It was good to have someone with self-awareness.
"Later, I can teach you some simple things. For example, your birthday is in a few months, isn't it? I can make you a cake."
"Cake? What's that?" Ning Rongrong asked suspiciously.
The food on Douluo Continent was very simple, pitifully few compared to the Chinese and Western desserts of his previous life.
If he had the chance in the future, Xiao Ze even wanted to leave behind a cookbook.
It could also be considered a small contribution to the Douluo Continent.
These poor people who had never tasted delicious food.
