Mission Issued!

"Lin Feng, why did you skip school yesterday?!" Qin Xiaoyu questioned with a frosty look.

In response, Lin Feng shrugged his shoulders.

"I set up a stall to make money because I was in urgent need and that's the only thing that can feed me," he replied calmly.

All of his savings were spent on the system. If he had not earned money yesterday, he might have had to sleep on an empty stomach.

Hearing him, Qin Xiaoyu and the entire class were stunned.

They did not know anything about him, but they had heard the rumors of Lin Feng being poor and from the way he was saying it, it looked like he was even poorer than they imagined him to be.

Thinking of his condition, Qin Xiaoyu's expression eased a little.

"Fine. Then tell me, why did you come late?" She changed the question.

Although skipping school to make money was still a serious issue, it wasn't appropriate to discuss someone's personal matters in front of everyone, so she tactfully shifted the focus.

Lin Feng understood why she did not continue with the issue and his impression of her increased slightly.

"I didn't have money for bus tickets, so I walked to the school and that's why I am late," he lied without even flinching.

But everyone thought it was real, and now female students could not help but give him pitying looks.

He was so handsome but also so poor.

It's a pity no one knew he lived inside a luxury apartment.

"Okay, I will let you off this time but be careful from tomorrow," Qin Xiaoyu said with a stern tone.

In response, Lin Feng just nodded before focusing on the profitability stat, which shot up to seventy percent as Qin Xiaoyu's favorable impression of him increased.

Just like this, the class began, and everyone started to study, even Lin Feng.

He would really not like to study but his grandfather called him in the morning and stated if he does not get a good ranking in the national exam, he won't be allowed to come back.

So, he was left with no choice but to study.

Qin Xiaoyu was quite surprised when she saw him studying not only her but even the students were stunned; however, after taking a look at him, they busied themselves with reviewing.

Just like this, the class of Qin Xiaoyu was over.

However, she did not leave alone; she took Lin Feng with her, afraid that he would skip school again and she wouldn't be able to talk with him.

Watching them leave the class, 3-A burst into uproar, with many male students cursing Lin Feng.

Qin Xiaoyu was, after all, a beautiful, single, twenty-four-year-old young woman. How could the male students not be attracted to her?

…

"Lin Feng," Qin Xiaoyu spoke as she sat behind the office table.

"I know your family is poor and you need money but skipping school is not a way to fix this problem. I hope you understand this and don't skip school ever again."

"If you need money, just come to me. I will help you arrange some funds, which you can repay later by working in the summer holidays," she said, coming up with a solution.

Although she did not like Lin Feng transferring to her class at the last moment, there was nothing she could do, and since he was her student now, it was her responsibility to guide him.

Of course she won't just help him for no reason; she had seen his previous scores and although not good, they were not bad either. It's just that he needed to study seriously.

A pity she did not know the scores were forged by Lin Feng's grandfather.

"I understand." Lin Feng nodded at her, not bothering to explain because there was no need.

"Well, now let's talk about your studies. I plan to tutor you every day and this will continue until the start of the national exam. You are not the only student I am tutoring so do not think you will be troubling me. All you have to do is stay after the school ends, after which I will help you and other students review for an hour," Qin Xiaoyu explained.

Hearing her, Lin Feng could not help but frown slightly. The only reason he had followed her to the office was because he wanted to make sure the profitability did not fall too much. It was, after all, hard to tell if he would encounter a high potential like her in the future.

Qin Xiaoyu did not know this and thought he might be facing difficulty with money.

"Here, take this hundred yuan. It might not be too much, but it will solve the problem of meals and bus tickets for today and tomorrow." She said, giving him a bill of one hundred yuan.

Although it was not appropriate to hand the money to the student, she could not help but give it to him, as she knew his parents had passed away in recent years and the only reason he could still eat and live was his grandfather's savings. But savings weren't infinite. Most of the money was spent on hospital bills; hence, Lin Feng had to work outside.

Well, this was at least what Principal Yu and Lin Feng's 'previous teacher' told her.

Lin Feng knew all of this, and he was a bit speechless at how far his grandfather wanted to take this experience outside the world.

Suddenly a holographic panel appeared in front of Lin Feng, making him stunned. He did not expect the system to release a mission now.

"Lin Feng?" Qin Xiaoyu frowned slightly as she saw him in a trance.

"Sorry, teacher Qin." Lin Feng apologized and with some hesitation, he took the money from her.

In that instant Qin Xiaoyu's profitability stat shot up to eighty percent.

From the softening in her gaze, Lin Feng could guess she was probably imagining him as some tragic, hardworking kid.

"Good, now go back to the class and make sure to stay after the school is over," Qin Xiaoyu reminded with a serious look.

In response, Lin Feng nodded and stepped out of the office as he tucked the hundred-yuan bill in his pocket.

Just then a sarcastic voice chimed in his head.

[Host accepted a hundred yuan handout. Emotional damage +1.]

Lin Feng almost rolled his eyes but kept walking, pretending not to hear it.
