Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation Chapter 1787 - 983: Action Speaks Louder Than Words

An Chan found herself in a sour mood.

The previous night had seen her car collide with an electric bike, resulting in an 800 yuan compensation payment to the rider.

The front of her BMW Series 3, a gift from her father, was also visibly damaged.

The repairs were estimated to cost thousands of yuan, a stark reminder of the expense associated with luxury vehicles.

This incident felt like a premonition, a sign from fate that her path was the wrong one, casting a gloom over An Chan's thoughts.

Despite this, An Chan, an exceptionally capable young teacher, resolved to face her new role with renewed spirit.

As she walked down the corridor, Gao Heshuai from the same office offered a warm greeting, "Hello, Teacher An!"

Gao Heshuai found Teacher An incredibly beautiful, perfectly embodying the idealized two-dimensional female image he admired; he felt as though he had finally found his muse.

"Hello," An Chan replied politely.

Gao Heshuai rolled up his sleeves, projecting an image of helpfulness, "If you run into any difficulties, don't hesitate to ask for my help!"

"I don't anticipate any major issues," An Chan responded graciously.

"Oh, in case Director Yan didn't mention it," Gao Heshuai continued, "if a young lady is caught sleeping in Class 8, it's best not to disturb her."

He added, "Also, there’s a student there who’s always with a basketball; avoid making him stand for punishment, as he’s prone to slipping away. My suggestion is to confiscate his basketball and place it on the podium..."

An Chan remarked, "You certainly have a unique way of explaining things."

Gao Heshuai, pleased by her comment, bid farewell and returned to his domain in Class 9.

Meanwhile, within Class 8, a stir began: "She's here, she's here!"

As An Chan entered the classroom, she was met with a sea of watchful eyes.

Her appearance was less that of a formal teacher and more akin to a university student, with one side of her hair casually tucked behind her ear, the other falling naturally to frame her delicate features.

Her simple long-sleeved shirt and ripped jeans accentuated her elegant figure, striking a balance that was neither as flamboyant as Yun Tingting's nor as approachable as Guo Ran's, exuding an air of refined composure.

Guo Kunnan's heart skipped a beat; he couldn't help but call out, "Everyone, stand up!"

He rose first, bowing respectfully to the teacher.

Dan Kaiquan pulled him back, saying, "Brother Nan, I understand you're eager, but you don't need to go that far!"

Guo Kunnan suddenly remembered that Class 8 did not observe the tradition of standing to greet teachers.

Nevertheless, he stood alone, initiating the greeting: "Hello, Teacher!"

An Chan raised her hand slightly, saying, "I recognize you as the biology class representative."

Guo Kunnan, feeling acknowledged, promptly sat down.

An Chan took her position at the podium and surveyed the room, her eyes widening slightly; she noted the classroom's surprisingly good equipment, including dual water dispensers.

Her gaze continued to sweep across the room until it landed on a face frozen in shock.

Han Wen Nuan instinctively turned to look at Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi, dumbfounded, thought, 'Blast it, did I extort money from my own teacher?'

Teacher An Chan was equally surprised; the very student she had demanded compensation from the previous night was now in her class.

This revelation added an intriguing twist to the situation.

Pushing the thought aside, An Chan turned and wrote her name on the blackboard.

"Hello, students. I am An Chan, and I will be your new biology teacher," she announced, her voice calm and pleasant.

After An Chan concluded her introduction, Wang Longlong stood up proactively, "Teacher An, would you like me to provide an overview of the class roles?"

"Certainly," An Chan agreed.

Wang Longlong cleared his throat and gestured towards Dong Qingfeng, "He is our class's study committee member, Dong Qingfeng. However, for day-to-day communication, you can reach out to the biology class representative, Guo Kunnan."

Dong Qingfeng internally grumbled, 'Damn it.'

"This is our life committee member, Hu Jun."

"And the literary committee member, Shen Qing'e."

"Class president, Yu Wen," Wang Longlong continued rapidly.

He then paused briefly before declaring, "And finally, overseeing all class affairs is myself, Wang Longlong. While I'm not the class president, I handle duty assignments, discipline, class fund management, and strategic planning – essentially, all significant and minor matters fall under my purview."

"For example, even something as trivial as managing the trash cans..."

Initially, An Chan found the student's eagerness refreshing, but Wang Longlong's introduction stretched on for five minutes and showed no signs of ending: "I am not the sun of Class 8; I am merely a chaser of light. However, the honor and disgrace of this class rest upon my shoulders alone, and I bear it without complaint, dedicating my utmost effort and working tirelessly until the very end..."

An Chan could no longer endure the lengthy monologue; she still had a lesson to teach!

An Chan finally intervened, "Student, student, you are clearly a very responsible individual."

Wang Longlong, still not entirely satisfied, replied, "Thank you, teacher, for acknowledging my dedication."

At last, the class could commence in earnest.

An Chan inquired, "I understood from Mr. Gao that you are currently delving into 'Steadiness and Environment' from Compulsory 3, specifically the initial stages of ecosystem stability, is that correct?"

"Alright class, please open your textbooks."

As An Chan commenced her lesson, even Duan Shigang, who usually struggled, produced a pristine textbook, exclaiming, "Biology is truly wonderful!"

An Chan, an alumna of East China Normal University, possessed excellent teaching abilities despite her recent graduation. However, midway through the lesson, an observation struck her: this particular class presented numerous unique challenges.

There was Xue Yuantong slumbering, Chen Qian engrossed in self-study, Wu Xiaoqi expertly juggling a ball, and Cui Yu Meng Gui surreptitiously watching videos...

Nevertheless, the student who left the most unfavorable impression on An Chan was Zhang Chi, the one who had extorted money from her.

"The discharge of domestic sewage leads to eutrophication within lake ecosystems. For ecological restoration, scientists introduced filter-feeding fish, such as silver carp. This approach proved more successful when combined with the cultivation of emergent plants, like reeds and cattails, rather than relying solely on the introduction of fish."

"Could any student elaborate on the reasons behind this from the perspective of material cycling?"

In the crowd below, Dong Qingfeng, a smile gracing his lips, elegantly raised his hand. "I can."

Duan Shigang and his peers grumbled internally, 'Hmph, thinks he's so great just because he studies well?'

'What's with all the showing off?'

An Chan, however, did not call upon him.

Her gaze swept across the student seating chart displayed on the podium, and with a gentle smile, she stated, "Zhang Chi, you may answer."
