Genshin Impact: Liyue's Strongest Thousand Rock Army
Chapter 242 Hope for Success
Alice was skeptical, because the Knights of Favonius who had some experience knew all about her affairs. It was all thanks to the Grand Master, so that when such things happened, they could stay away from the "origin" in time to avoid anyone getting hurt.
And the statement that she lived in Mond was not entirely correct, because she had always been a person with no fixed place to live, and lived wherever she went. It was just that she did not stay in Mond because she did not take her daughter with her.
"How is it, is it correct?" Nan Zhangsheng asked. He was very confident. After all, this was something he had memorized well.
"Yeah, but so what?" Alice asked back.
Nan Zhangsheng said calmly, "Nothing happened. Ms. Alice asked me to do it, so of course I did my best to complete it."
Alice's resentment had not subsided, but instead it felt worse. She said bluntly, "Just now you wanted to ask for something, and now you say you will do your best to fulfill my request. You are really good at talking!"
Nan Zhangsheng scratched his head and chuckled, "Talent, talent, it's nothing."
"I'm not complimenting you."
"I know, I'm just stating the facts."
"You will probably be sad in the future if you behave like this."
"Whether it's good or bad, it's all life. You can't end your life just because it's not good for a while. At least I'm healthy and have a family, so how can I not live my life?"
"There are many truths, but they may not be useful."
"It's not about whether the truth is useful or not, but whether it works and is applicable. It depends on who you are dealing with, what you are dealing with, and what the situation is. If you act at the right time, you will never be defeated!"
"So, how do you want to clean up your act of scamming someone just now?"
"To whiten means to wash away the dirt on the surface and reveal the innocence, right? Let me tell you..."
Alice gritted her teeth. She hadn't been angry for a long time, and it was rare for her to feel this way again. However, she didn't want it to continue like this for long, so she cursed in hatred.
"If I had a son, I would definitely not be like you!"
Nan Zhangsheng did not refute this time, but flattered: "Of course, a child who carries your excellent genes, how could it be possible for him to look as miserable as me? Of course, he must be as smart as you, extremely intelligent, almost like a demon, looking down on the world, and no one can rival him!"
Alice was silent again, this time completely speechless. She finally understood why she could never compete with this young man in words, because when the other party got angry, he would even curse her. Who could compare with such a man?
She did act unexpectedly and sometimes didn't care about herself, but that didn't mean she was as thick-skinned as him. At least she couldn't compare to that young man. She did admit that.
Nan Zhangsheng smiled slightly and said, "Ms. Alice, why don't we put those unpleasant things behind us and listen to why I did such an absurd thing?
If you are still not satisfied with my explanation or disagree with it after I have said it, it doesn't matter. After all, I will not give up easily, and I will not give you less compensation!"
Alice was a little surprised. This sudden solemnity and seriousness made her suddenly uncomfortable. How could this person show two completely different personalities so well?
Zhongli had a strange look on his face. It was the first time he saw someone belittle himself and compliment others so naturally, and then change the subject directly and logically.
This is... rare, right?
Nan Zhangsheng said, "I saw that Ms. Alice was a person of great talent, so I wanted to become her disciple. However, I was afraid that it would be too abrupt and boring to do so directly, so I thought of this different opening to make a deeper impression. However, I ended up making things worse, so please forgive me.
If you really feel bad about it, I will do my best to do whatever you want me to do. If I can't do it, please ask Mr. Zhongli for help. I will definitely do it, so...
Please be magnanimous and forgive my behavior for this, and accept me as your student, Ms. Alice!"
Alice found it funny. Although she was not a narrow-minded person, she was not so calm and indifferent as to let it go easily.
"Do you think I will believe it?"
"Believe it or not, it doesn't matter to tell the truth. This is to let Ms. Alice see my true character and not be misled by that misunderstanding."
Nan Zhangsheng spoke again, but his real thoughts went far beyond that. Don't be fooled by his harmless appearance. In fact, based on his familiarity with Teyvat, he is very calculating and scheming.
This is the benefit of having a "God" perspective. He can take charge of the overall situation, allowing him to understand his opponent's habits well before the game and choose the best plan. If not, his ability would probably have declined a lot.
Alice still didn't take it seriously, and pouted: "Do you think that with such a bad first impression, it will be easy to succeed in the future?"
Nan Zhangsheng shook his head and said, "No, but it can deepen the impression. If Ms. Alice didn't choose to settle the matter with me privately, then it can leave something different. At least it's not just a random glance among the crowd. After all, it's easier to complain than to appreciate."
Alice finally looked him in the eye and felt that what he said did make some sense when combined with her life, but her resentment had not yet subsided, so she still had other ideas.
"As for the first impression, it can be corrected slowly later. Although there is a saying that a broken mirror cannot be mended, who says it is impossible? Everything depends on human effort!"
Alice did not comment on Nan Zhangsheng's words, but at least asked him, what if everyone ignored him and didn't see his good side, and just left?
Nan Zhangsheng spoke leisurely, explaining, "That means you are not meant to be together. Just let it go. A forced melon may quench your thirst, but it may be poisonous and have thorns."
Alice pondered. The boy's way of speaking, as well as his thoughts and behaviors, were quite to her liking. If it were her, she would probably do the same if she wanted to take a learned person as her teacher, regardless of whether it was possible or not.
"Interesting." Alice looked at the handsome boy and spoke with some appreciation for the first time.
Nan Zhangsheng grinned and said, "Then... Teacher Alice?"
"Not yet. Tell me first, do you have the ability to read faces, or how did you know it? Do I have something worth learning from you?" Alice said with a smile, her eyes flashing.
Nan Zhangsheng said slowly: "Of course I don't know how to read faces, which is something so profound and difficult to understand. There are mainly two things that make me sure that you have very profound knowledge.
The first thing is that he has Mr. Zhongli by his side. He is such a learned, talented, and well-informed person. He can get close to others either because of Mora or because of that person's profound knowledge.
What makes me certain that you must possess immense knowledge is the tiny thing revealed when you rolled up your sleeves. That bracelet that looks very impressive must be something extraordinary, which also proves that I made the right bet!
The above is my answer, Teacher Alice?"
Alice hummed, smiled, and said, "I can consider it, but would you like to tell me why I should agree to take you as my student?"
Nan Zhangsheng's smile froze, and he pretended to be surprised and said, "I've said this much, and you still don't agree?"
Alice laughed and said, "Why should I agree?"
Indeed, accepting a clever student would do Alice no good. Instead, it would require her to expend much energy and effort on training the student, which was simply asking for trouble.
Alice was actually a little tempted in her heart, because people like this boy are really rare, one in a million, so she asked like that, wanting to see how this boy would perform.
Nan Zhangsheng exhaled lightly, "It seems... this is the only way."
He first asked Zhongli to put him down, then walked to the woman in red, standing straight with a serious and determined expression.
Alice waited and watched, and Zhongli was also very interested, wanting to know what answer the young man would give.
Under the gaze of the two, Nan Zhangsheng moved his slender figure, spread his arms, and then extremely quickly and skillfully... squatted on the ground, pulling his temples with both hands.
"Ah, why don't you agree? Is it because you are not sincere enough? Or am I not giving enough? Or is there something about me that you don't like? Just tell me, I can give more, I can change it, but please don't agree!
Really, I beg you, please promise me, I want to be your student, inherit your legacy in the future, carry forward this lineage, and make it famous in history! Will you promise me?"
Alice opened her mouth slightly, her pretty face full of confusion. Zhongli looked calm, but in fact he was also deeply speechless and didn't want to look at the young man.
This is no wonder. After all, he looked like someone who was speaking seriously and was answering questions very rigorously the moment before, but now he suddenly started crying, making a fuss, and even threatening to commit suicide. Who could react like that?
"Is there nothing you can do about it?" Alice's mouth twitched slightly. She felt it was funny, but also felt that she had overestimated the boy.
"Yeah, I have no other choice." Nan Zhangsheng looked up, telling the truth and lying at the same time, a double entendre.
Because he really has no other choice, but this "no other choice" is his choice, the last choice. If there is still no other choice, then there is really no other choice.
Alice crossed her arms over her chest, her curves were perfect, and she said calmly, "It's too early to call you teacher. Just remember it for now and think about it slowly."
"Yes." Nan Zhangsheng responded, and then began to ask her all kinds of questions about her well-being, asking where she wanted to go, whether she was hungry, and what she wanted to do, just as if he were treating her like his own mother.
After all, if you haven't refused, that means there is an opportunity, and if you have an opportunity, you should seize it.
This Ms. Alice is a big researcher in science and technology. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is the number one researcher in Teyvat. Her military achievements are extremely brilliant, and she has destroyed countless places.
Such a person would be the perfect person to be a teacher to a person like him who is in poor health, teaching him some theories and also some methods that do not require physical exercise.
On the side, Zhongli was still speechless. He still felt that the young man's ever-changing nature was a little unreal, like the changes of a man with a thousand faces.
However, being changeable does not mean being fickle.
