"But we're friends, aren't we?"
Han Zhou knew she would say that, and he gently said, "Besides, I'm not sending you anything, but asking for your help. Help me share these things that I can't finish. Besides, you also deserve the credit. I haven't even repaid you for sending me to the hospital last time."
"But I didn't do anything that day..." Zhong Ling still shook her head.
Han Zhou had a headache. It couldn't be said that Zhong Yin's education was wrong, but it was obviously too extreme. If friends always did the "no reward without merit" thing, then in the end they would definitely have no friends.
He sighed: "Sister Yin specifically asked me to take good care of you. I didn't expect that even she trusted me, but Senior Sister is still like this..."
Zhong Ling suddenly became nervous and spoke incoherently: "That's not what I meant, and I don't distrust you, it's just that I... well... then I'll eat it, okay?"
"I'm sorry, don't be angry..."
Seeing Zhong Ling looking aggrieved, Han Zhou felt a little embarrassed. This senior was too gullible. No wonder Zhong Yin would use such an extreme way to protect her.
He said, "I'm not angry, and you don't need to apologize, senior sister. In fact, whether you are willing to accept something from others is not a complicated issue. You just need to think clearly whether the other person has good intentions."
"Then you mean well..." Zhong Ling said cautiously.
Han Zhou was amused: "Of course I mean well, but why aren't you in the dormitory so late at night? I remember you said you were a stay-at-home girl, didn't you?"
Seeing that he didn't seem angry, Zhong Ling felt relieved and replied, "I'm going to help my roommate get her bag. She left it in the library."
Han Zhou raised his eyebrows and said, "Get the bag? Are you alone?"
"Ah."
"What is your roommate doing?"
"She was preparing for a group assignment. We are in the same group. Not only did she participate in the design of the assignment, she was also responsible for the speech tomorrow. She made a lot of efforts, so I went to help her get her bag."
Han Zhou breathed a sigh of relief. He thought Zhong Ling was being oppressed and treated as an errand boy by her roommate, but it turned out that was not the case at all.
He found that he had naturally stepped into the role of caregiver. Not only did he have to worry about the interpersonal relationships between Guzheng and her roommates, but he also had to pay attention to Zhongling's situation. This was in line with the expectations of Sister Miao and Sister Yin.
Fortunately, the situation is pretty good at the moment, at least there are no problems with their interpersonal relationships.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Zhong Ling asked, "Is your hand okay?"
Han Zhou smiled and said, "He's almost well now. He will be fully recovered in a while."
"That's good."
Zhong Ling nodded softly, not knowing what to say next. She seldom chatted with people after high school. She wanted to say more to Han Zhou but couldn't find a topic to talk about, and couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
Han Zhou had no intention of staying here, and said, "I should go back now. You can take these back and eat them, or you can share them with your roommates. But there is one thing you must pay attention to, and that is you must not eat the chicken wings inside."
"Isn't that a waste?" Zhong Ling asked in confusion.
"It's a waste, it's super spicy and I can't eat it anyway."
Zhong Ling seemed to understand and nodded, "I understand. I will definitely not eat it, and I won't let anyone else eat it either."
Han Zhou smiled and said, "I understand. I might send you barbecue tomorrow. Please pay attention to the message. I'm going back first."
besides?
Zhong Ling was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."
She felt that what her junior said made sense. Whether or not she was willing to accept something from a person depended on whether the other person had good intentions. Of course, her junior had good intentions, so she could accept it.
I'll ask my sister for her opinion when I get back...

Chapter 138 Monthly Mall Update
The weather today is surprisingly good.
The white clouds were torn into pieces, floating above the blue sky, occasionally covering the sun at the instigation of the wind. The remaining sunlight was torn into silhouettes by the branches and leaves of the trees, and tiny spots of light dotted the shade of the trees, swaying slightly from time to time.
In such good weather, the military parade was held as scheduled.
The freshmen in military training uniforms stood straight, lined up in an orderly formation on the playground, and listened to the speeches of the leaders on the stage with solemn expressions.
Han Zhou sat under the shade of a tree, with Ouyang Lianyu in a wheelchair next to him. The two of them said nothing, watching from afar as the students on the playground changed their formations at the command of the chief instructor to form huge words.
Military spelling training is a common event in the annual military parade ceremonies of major universities. However, it is difficult to feel the shock unless you watch it from a high place. A black dot can be seen in the air, which is a drone taking pictures.
Han Zhou felt a little bored and couldn't help yawning.
Ouyang Lianyu on the side reminded: "Be more serious. Although you didn't directly participate in the military training, you are still considered a freshman. Don't be careless at this time."
"I know, I know."
Han Zhou sat upright, looking forward with a solemn expression, but he was not looking in the direction of the playground, but at the characters in front of him.
Today is a special day.
In addition to marking the end of the two-week military training, it is also the day for the monthly mall refresh.
As he was unsure whether the previous products would disappear after the mall was refreshed, Han Zhou spent a huge amount of money to buy a large number of powerful pills as backup last night, and also bought two temporary status solidifiers.
However, as the mall was refreshed, he found that he was worrying too much. The previous products did not disappear, but remained in the retention mall. He could open it and purchase the products that had appeared before by spending ten points.
Just like last month, five items were refreshed this month:
[Item 30: Mission detector, a one-time item, can be used by any target. In the next minutes, when the target makes a request to you, there is a high probability that an activity/temporary mission will appear, a very small probability that a strategy mission will appear, and a certain probability that no mission will appear. After the mission is completed, the reward will be increased. It can be used five times and disappears after the number of uses is exhausted. The price is points]
[Product 1: Monthly Mall Refresher, a one-time item, which can automatically refresh the current monthly mall after use. It disappears after use. The purchase limit is 50 per month. The price is points]
[Product 10: Attribute Change Pill (Low Level), a one-time item. After taking it, any of your attributes will be permanently increased or decreased by one. The maximum attribute cannot exceed 5. You can only take one pill every hours. The price is points.]
[Item 2: Skill Refresh Pill (Low Level), a one-time item. After taking it, any of your skills will be randomly selected for refresh, and you will permanently acquire a new skill. The original skill will disappear permanently. The purchase limit is 70 times per month. The price is 20 points. The first purchase price is points.]
[Product 100: Product Level Sublimator, a one-time item that can be used on any product with a level in the current month. After use, the product level has a high probability of being upgraded by one level, and the highest level cannot exceed Advanced. It disappears after use. The price is 20 points, and the first purchase price is points.]
Han Zhou carefully browsed through all the product information and felt a little disappointed because there were not many practical products among the refreshed products this time.
For him, the most useful thing is probably the first commodity task detector. Although he now has a lot of tasks, they are either side quests that cannot be completed in a short time like making Zhong Ling cry, or activity tasks that do not give points like finding Xiao Xiaoxiao's memory. There are very few temporary tasks that can get points, and they can only be triggered occasionally, so that his current point acquisition speed is quite slow.
With the mission detector, he can actively look for missions, which will greatly increase the speed at which he earns points.
The mission detector only costs thirty points, but can be used five times. If he is lucky, he may get a mission every time. In addition, it can increase the mission rewards. If he gets twenty points for each mission, he can earn an extra seventy points by buying it once, which is a sure profit.
Even if his luck was a little worse and a mission detector could only trigger two or three missions, it would still be a break-even. Not to mention that the mission detector could be effective on any target, which meant that he would have the opportunity to earn points no matter where he was, and he no longer had to stare at Guzheng Mo Yixia and the others all day long.
What the hell is this strategy mission?
All in all, the mission detector, like the temporary status solidifier, is a very cost-effective product and is worth buying.
As for other products, they were not so attractive to Han Zhou.
The monthly mall refresher is fine, but he can't use it for the time being.
The other two kinds of pills require luck, and Han Zhou has always been indifferent to such things. The attribute change pill is only sold for five points, but it has the possibility of improving one attribute. Even if the attribute is reduced after losing the bet, it doesn't matter. With his current point reserves, he can gamble a few more times to add it back. If he is lucky, it is not impossible to increase each attribute to ten points. This seems tempting, but Han Zhou doesn't want to touch it.
The lottery will give a probability, but this thing doesn't announce the probabilities of increasing and decreasing attributes at all, and it only limits the high but not the low. If his luck is bad, his attributes will keep decreasing, and his intelligence will drop to zero, turning him into a fool. That would be funny. By then, he won't even be able to use the status bar, and won't have a chance to return to normal.
Or maybe his already limited physical strength would drop to zero, and he would become a disabled person paralyzed in bed. The scene would be terrifying to imagine.
In a sense, this is like gambling with one's own life, which is more terrifying than gambling with money, so Han Zhou would never touch it.
What he hates most is gambling, and he doesn't want to get caught up in it one day.
Compared to the attribute changing pills, the skill refreshing pills were not as risky, but it was still essentially a gamble. If he didn't have any important skills, it would be fine, and refreshing wouldn't matter, but skills such as 'Long Illness Becomes a Doctor' and 'Photographic Memory' could never be refreshed, so he still didn't dare to gamble.
However, Han Zhou noticed one thing, that is, both of these pills are low-level products. It is possible that their effects will be enhanced when the level is higher, and it will not depend entirely on luck like it is now. It just so happens that the last item, the level sublimator, has the effect of increasing the level of the product.
The effect of this item is actually very strong. Han Zhou immediately thought of the low-level temporary status solidifier. Unfortunately, the item level sublimator is only effective for items refreshed that month. If it is a item refreshed last month, it will not work, so he cannot use it for the time being.
However, if necessary in the future, he can try to buy one to upgrade the skill refresh pill or attribute change pill. Maybe upgrading it to an intermediate pill will have a much better effect. If there is no problem, he can try taking it.
Having said that, the current mall has kept up with the times and even offers first-time purchase discounts. It's just like some games that blatantly lure players to spend money and participate in the lottery...
Han Zhou shook his head in his heart, spent thirty points to buy a mission detector, used it on Ouyang Lianyu beside him without hesitation, and then began to shake his head.
Ouyang Lianyu quickly noticed his little action and reminded him, "You are not sitting here honestly. Hurry up and sit down. Be careful not to be seen by the school leaders."
Let me sit down, this should be considered a request, but why is the task not triggered?
Is it because the way I asked for it was wrong? Or do I need to confirm it proactively?
Han Zhou was confused. His first priority was to find out the triggering conditions of the mission detector. Hearing this, he asked back, "Are you ordering me?"
Ouyang Lianyu: "?"
Yes, perhaps realizing that she had no one to take care of her, Han Zhou brought the girl named Guzheng to the hospital to visit her quite a few times recently. She admitted that she was a little touched by this, but wasn't this guy too complacent? Didn't he take her seriously at all?
She took a deep breath and said angrily, "Do you think the number of words in your self-criticism is not enough?"
Noticing that Ouyang Lianyu's tone was a little off, Han Zhou immediately realized that there was a big problem with what he had just said. It sounded almost like a provocation, so he quickly explained, "I'm sorry, Mr. Ouyang, that's not what I meant. I meant, are you making a request to me?"
Ouyang Lianyu was silent for a moment: "Is there any difference between these two sentences?"
"Of course there is a difference, but it's not important. I have a request. Can you reorganize your words and change what you just said to something like 'I ask you to sit down properly and not be seen by the school leaders'?"
"It is you who has to reorganize the language..."
Ouyang Lianyu sighed. If it weren't for Han Zhou's sincere look, she might have lost her temper. She said unhappily, "Okay, I ask you to sit still and don't let the school leaders see you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Zhou stopped shaking his head and sat down honestly. However, he soon became a little disappointed, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Still no quest triggered.
Why is this guy acting weird...is he worried about something?
Ouyang Lianyu was confused, and then she heard Han Zhou suddenly say in a deep voice, "No, that's not enough. Teacher Ouyang, can you make a more excessive request of me?"
More excessive demands?
Ouyang Lianyu was stunned and asked worriedly: "What happened to you today?"
"Nothing, I just suddenly want to hear others make requests of me, otherwise I will feel uncomfortable." Han Zhou said nonsense, "Excuse me, Mr. Ouyang, don't ask why, make a more excessive request to me, and use the sentence structure I just said."
Ouyang Lianyu hesitated for a while and said, "Then I ask you to respect me in the future and not make jokes about the teacher casually, not even laugh at me..."
Han Zhou waited for a while, shook his head and said to himself: "No, it seems that it is not 'excessive' enough. Or maybe it has nothing to do with whether it is excessive or not. The focus should still be on the sentence structure and emotion..."
Requests, requirements, forming tasks…
He suddenly had a bright thought, and looked at Ouyang Lianyu with burning eyes, expectantly saying: "Teacher, that request just now is quite good, but can you change the sentence structure?"
Ouyang Lianyu didn't know what he was doing, and nodded blankly: "Okay, what sentence structure?"
"Like this, I'll show you how to do it." Han Zhou cleared his throat and said seriously, "Student Han Zhou, please respect me in the future and don't make fun of me or laugh at me."
