an inch of light

For Shen Yuying, this summer at the age of 20 is destined to belong to glory.However, the day and night schedule of Happy's team was still a bit difficult for her. After all, she had to get up early two days a week to give tutoring to the children of migrant workers at XX School.

This school is the object of their college’s counterpart support. Every summer vacation, the teachers of the college will organize sophomore and junior students to the school to teach the children. The living teacher’s salary and all other expenses of the summer class are all provided by XX China Charity Organization .As long as both parents are migrant workers working in this city, they can send their children to classes regardless of their school status.The purpose of this project is to allow these left-behind children to reunite with their parents, and at the same time, they can have a place to go during the day and learn cultural knowledge by the way, instead of wandering around the streets with nothing to do.

Like other 211 colleges and universities, University Z attaches great importance to cultivating students' spirit of volunteer service. They must complete at least 20 hours of volunteer service in the four years of the university, and the excess can be converted into credits for elective courses in proportion.Because of this, the summer volunteer service project has become a must-have tool for many students to score points. Shen Yuying also got this volunteer quota after going through five tests.Others took basic courses such as foreign language, Chinese, and arithmetic, or took talent courses based on her expertise in music, art, and photography. Of course, the competition was fierce, but she was ingenious and chose natural courses that were not included in the alternative courses.In the teaching syllabus and trial courseware handed in during registration, she added a lot of materials to make the teaching content as rich and interesting as possible.

When filling out the reasons for the application, she wrote: "...it is important to learn to read, write or count, but I want to teach children how to know, understand and explore the world. I want them to take a longer view , appreciate the mystery and reality of nature, and discover the beauty of scientific truth. Their life should not simply repeat the yesterday of their parents. The world they see, not just the world they see..."

Perhaps it was her reason for applying that impressed the officials of XX China. This summer, for the first time, they added social and natural courses to the middle and upper grades in the summer school. Class teacher, four classes a week, equivalent to 4 hours of volunteer service time.

The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is often unsatisfactory.When she stepped into the classroom for the first time, she quickly discovered that there were no eyes eager for knowledge waiting for her, but pairs of numb, confused, and even impatient eyes.For these children, listening to her talk about how black holes are formed and how dinosaurs evolved is not as real as the hot free lunch at noon.Their cultural foundation is really poor, and everything she said is too far away from them, and it takes a lot of effort to even understand these terms.She could only rack her brains to find relevant foreign popular science cartoons on the Internet to play for them, plus stationery and candies bought at her own expense as rewards, trying to attract their interest in the course.Whenever she encounters setbacks from her children, she feels like a futile gardener, wishing to cultivate the barren land, hoping that a seed that does not have eyes will germinate and grow.

Compared with the volunteer project that made her burnt out, the progress of Glory is obviously more satisfying.On the afternoon of the second day when she arrived at Xingxin, she went back to school and packed up all the things she needed for the past two months.In addition to working hard to upgrade every day, she also began to spare time to do the challenge tasks in the realm of gods.As the only pure healing class in Glory 24, Priest's God's Challenge quest series is also unique. The initial quest is still the wallet-picking Frogger quest, but from the second quest onwards, the content is different.

What Shen Yuying is doing right now is the first task in the priest's exclusive task line - "Exorcise the plague".

A large-scale plague suddenly broke out in a big city on this continent. For the safety of the entire kingdom, the king sent troops to blockade the city, preparing to let the people in the city fend for themselves.But the instinct of survival overcame the fear of the royal power. People suffering from the disease broke through one of the city gates and poured out from the narrow bridge like a tide. Rush into the crowd from both sides of the city gate and kill them, making sure that they cannot reach the other side of the moat alive.

As a player blessed by the Holy Light, her task is to ensure that 100 people can pass the bridge alive within a limited time.Priests can kill incoming soldiers, get rid of the plague state on npcs, and add blood to npcs.The plague state will cause the NPC to lose blood slowly and continuously, while the attack of the soldiers will quickly empty the blood volume of the attacked target.The priest itself cannot be harmed, but her mana is capped.In this battle, she only has one chance to use the potion, and she must use her skills carefully, while controlling the consumption of mana, she can selectively protect or give up some npcs to complete the task.

Watching videos of other people completing the task seemed very simple, but Shen Yuying didn't know how difficult the task was until she went up to operate it.Surrounded by hundreds of npcs, with the light and shadow effects of skills everywhere, it is a bit difficult to even judge the status of npcs, let alone use skills.She tried three times in a row, and her palms and forehead were sweaty in anxiety, and she barely passed the task.

After wiping off her sweat, she stood up and looked around.It's already three o'clock in the morning. We didn't clear the wild boss today, but everyone was busy doing exercises to improve their strength.She walked around the house, and she took out what should be added tea, what should be added tea, what should be added water, what should have been poured out of the ashtray.When he turned to Qiao Yifan's side, he glanced at it out of the corner of his eye, but he didn't dare to stop practicing: "Sister Yingying, put it away, I'll take it out and throw it away later."

"It's okay, I'm idle even if I'm idle, it's a matter of convenience." Shen Yuying said, picked up the trash can at his feet and walked out the door.

Seeing him turning his head to watch her go out from time to time, Chen Guo couldn't hold back the desire to gossip anymore, she walked over as if nothing happened, and sat beside him: "Yifan, seeing how clingy you are to your sister Yingying, Are you two siblings?"

"Ah, no..." Qiao Yifan was taken aback by this question, and quickly denied it, "She is really my cousin... yes, it's from my stepfather..."

"Oh, then I understand." Chen Guo stood up and patted him on the shoulder with a clear expression. "Come on, oh, it's good to be young..."

"Pfft—" Not far away, there was a chuckle from Su Mucheng's seat, and Qiao Yifan's face was burned into a cloud of fire again, so he could only stare at the screen, mechanically repeating the exercise just now.

At this moment, Shen Yuying suddenly rushed in from the door: "Master, there is someone looking for you downstairs, it looks so fierce..."

He came to the door in the middle of the night, wouldn't it be to seek revenge?Chen Guo glanced at Ye Xiu, and asked decisively, "How many people?"

"Just one person." Shen Yuying said nervously.

"What did you bring?" Chen Guo continued to ask.

"It seems... I didn't bring anything..." She recalled, and said uncertainly.

"Go and see?" Chen Guo asked Ye Xiu.

"Of course." Ye Xiu had already got up, and a group of people in the room felt very strange when they heard that someone was looking for him after three o'clock in the middle of the night, and they all got up and prepared to go together.Shen Yuying didn't want to go back at first, but when she saw everyone came out, she had the courage to follow Yifan downstairs.

When they came downstairs, the guy was still standing at the front desk, looking at them with a murderous look on his face.After a few words, they realized that this was Deception who had been hunted down by Ye Xiu in the game for more than a month - Mo Fan.

The alarm was lifted, and everyone embraced Mo Fan and returned to the training room.Shen Yuying had a big oolong, and she felt embarrassed, so she waited until everyone had left before going up with a bottle of water.When she entered the room, she sent water to Mo Fan, only to find that he happened to be sitting next to Su Mucheng, which was where she used to sit.Of course, she can understand, after all, there are twelve computers in the room, but this one is turned on and no one is sitting on it.Anyway, her data are all stored in the mobile hard drive, so it doesn't matter if you change another machine, Chen Guo just happened to beckon to her from the other end, and she walked over in response, and sat down beside Qiao Yifan.

Well, the pressure is so great... As soon as she took her seat, Qiao Yifan felt two scorching gazes on her back. Without even thinking about it, it must be Sister Chen and Sister Mu.Sister Yingying was sitting on the left, and there were people watching from behind. Under such a situation, Qiao Yifan was quickly defeated and ended today's practice hastily.

"Ah, it's over so soon?" Shen Yuying habitually glanced at Yifan's screen again, and found that he had quit the game and was opening the webpage to study the game video.

"Well...how about you, how is the task going?" Qiao Yifan turned his face slightly, looking at her screen.

"It's a mess...how about you give me a call?" She looked at him expectantly.

Seeing her with such eager eyes, Qiao Yifan immediately closed the web page, consciously moved the chair over to do the task for her, and pointed out the reason why she didn't finish it last time.Shen Yuying sat next to him and watched the screen, nodding her head from time to time, her long hair that was originally tucked behind her ears slowly fell down and rubbed against his arm under his short sleeves.Qiao Yifan didn't even dare to move his arms at this time, the slippery hair would rub against his arms with a slight movement, causing goosebumps on his skin again and again.

Behind them, Chen Guo and Su Mucheng exchanged meaningful smiles and looked back at their machines.

The prototype of the Priest’s God’s Challenge mission is Shankoushan’s blessing mission, which is out of print now. Every priest account has to make a blessing. So far, someone who has three blessings in his hand is very satisfied...
