Chapter 45 Quid pro quo

In order to curry favor with Ke Lan'er and win the admission ticket to the National Day School Auditorium, Ke Zhenxi came to Room 3 of the Magic Weapon Refining Early Saturday morning, sweeping the floor and wiping the table.

When Ke Lan'er walked in, she looked at Ke Zhenxi, who was cleaning, and asked curiously, "Why are you so diligent today?"

"It's an honor to be able to help the teachers more. Ke Zhenxi opened his mouth without front teeth and showed a flattering smile, if he has a request for someone today, he naturally has to flatter more.

The corners of Ke Lan'er's mouth rose slightly, and she also felt that Ke Zhenxi was "courteous and attentive for nothing, either a traitor or a thief". But she didn't ask too much, she knew very well that if Ke Zhenxi, who had no scheming, asked her, he would naturally take the initiative to speak.

"The duck on your head is very cute, I heard them say that this is your natal summoning beast. Ke Lan'er looked at the duck cub standing above Ke Zhenxi's head with more interest, she had already seen the relevant reports in the newspaper. In particular, the exclusive report of "Happy Liberty", the journalist Charles de Gaulle's description of the whole incident can be described as colorful. This student-run newspaper, which was originally not selling well, actually surpassed the school's official "Endeavour" in sales last week with this report.

"Alas, don't make fun of me, teacher, I'm scared to death. Ke Zhenxi bluntly expressed his dissatisfaction with the duck boy, completely ignoring the feelings of the person on the head.

And the duck boy listened to Ke Zhenxi's complaint and called "coo-quack", looking very melancholy.

What Ke Lan'er wants to refine today is the second-level magic weapon "Two-Way Tracker", which is a pair of small copper balls that are identical in appearance, and within two kilometers of each other, one of the ball holders can track the location of the other ball holder.

While Ke Lan'er was refining magic weapons, she explained the relevant knowledge of magic weapon refining to Ke Zhenxi, and she thought that since Ke Zhenxi had no achievements in spells, learning magic weapon refining was also a way out.

Of course, Ke Zhenxi can't remember what Ke Lan'er explained, on the one hand, because he has a bad memory, and on the other hand, because he always likes to slip away.

When Ke Lan'er took the magnetic herbal medicine handed by Ke Zhenxi, she pretended to be casual and asked, "I saw your name on the list of student admission tickets for the auditorium hall, have you found a dance partner?"

"Well, it's my good friend Xinghua, but she didn't get a ticket. Ke Zhenxi was about to ask Ke Lan'er for help, but the other party actually started the topic first, "Teacher, do you have two guest tickets?" ”

Ke Lan'er was stunned when she heard that Ke Zhenxi had a dance partner, but after learning that the other party did not have an admission ticket, she smiled again and said, "Yes, what? Do you want one?"

"Well, Xinghua would love to go to the prom, she loves to dance. Ke Zhenxi was right in the heart when he heard Ke Lan'er's words, and he was overjoyed in his heart.

"If you're afraid you won't find a dance partner, I can dance with you, you don't have to be with that girl. Ke Lan'er pretended to be casual, secretly observing Ke Zhenxi's expression.

"I didn't mean that, I didn't want to dance, I just wanted to help Xinghua, she was my friend. Ke Zhenxi explained, with a plea in his voice.

Ke Lan'er put down the magic weapon in her hand, looked at Ke Zhenxi, and kept a smile: "What kind of friend?

"No...... No, ordinary friends. Although Ke Zhenxi had an idea about Xinghua, he was worried about being rejected and did not confess for a long time. Of course, I'm embarrassed to tell others about this kind of thing, especially female teachers who are not very familiar with it.

Hearing this, Ke Lan'er nodded with satisfaction and said, "In this case, I can give her a ticket, but you have to be my dance partner." ”

"Huh?" Ke Zhenxi was stunned, thinking that Xinghua might have to dance with others, he felt sour, "Teacher, I'm your student, it's not suitable to be your dance partner." ”

"What's this, dancing is a kind of social etiquette, which can just increase the understanding of teachers and students who usually lack communication. I just came to Lorling City, I don't have any acquaintances, I saw that you are quite honest, so I asked you to be my dance partner. If you don't agree, it's okay, I won't give Xinghua a ticket, I can find other friends who don't have a ticket to be my dance partner. ”

"Teacher, how can you be like this? How can you use an admission ticket as a condition for someone to be a dance partner? You are so good, isn't it very easy to find a dance partner with an admission ticket?" Ke Zhenxi was anxious, he never thought that someone could still ask him to dance with his appearance.

"Look, you're prevaricating yourself for doing me a little favor, so why should I help you?" said Ke Lan'er, pretending not to pay attention to Ke Zhenxi, turning her head and pouring the magnetic herbal medicine into the vessel containing the copper balls.

"This ......" Ke Zhenxi was embarrassed, if he agreed, Xinghua would have to dance with others, if he didn't agree, Xinghua would not be able to participate in the ball.

Ke Lan'er peeked at Ke Zhenxi, and found that the other party was still hesitant, looking a little angry, and said with a straight face: "If you don't agree, forget it, don't think about the admission ticket." ”

"Don't don't, can't I agree?" Ke Zhenxi hurriedly agreed.

He thought, don't care about anything else, get the ticket first.

"Well, that's it. Ke Lan'er regained her smile and winked at Ke Zhenxi.

Soon, Ke Zhenxi had an idea in her heart, she cheated the admission ticket first, and if she didn't dance with Ke Lan'er at that time, she couldn't do anything with him. It's a big deal that the temporary worker of this magic weapon refining assistant is gone, and there is no oil and water to fish anyway. The only regret is that if you offend Ke Lan'er, you can't tutor spells with her in private.

In the afternoon, when the "two-way tracker" was finished, Ke Lan'er seemed to be in a good mood, put the magic weapon in Ke Zhenxi's hand, and said, "This is for you." ”

"Really, don't you want money?" Ke Zhenxi took the two copper balls in his hand, his hands trembled a little, and the second-level magic weapon could be sold for a lot of money.

"What a stupid thing to say, for you. Am I going to give you that money?" said with a smile as she began her "material stimulus" tactic, "In the future, if you behave well, I will reward you with magic weapons." ”

"You're so nice, Mr. Ke. Ke Zhenxi played with the "two-way tracker" in his hand, estimating how the second-level magic weapon could be worth five gold coins. Carried away by joy, he didn't think about why Ke Laner was so good to him for no reason.

"Alright, come with me to the practice room, and before lunch, I'll instruct you on melee spells. Curan said as she packed up her tools.

"Okay. Ke Zhenxi nodded violently, but he was a little uneasy in his heart. In all fairness, Ke Lan'er paid him, trained him in spells, and took him to the high-end canteen to invite him to dinner at noon, which can be said to be kind to him. He didn't have a clear conscience, he dared to imagine what kind of mood Ke Lan'er would have felt when he knew that he was playing with her at the ball.
