After dinner, everyone gathered around to chat.
In Shen Wei's mind, the System's cold mechanical voice came: "Congratulations to Shen Wei for leading Mu Zhixing to participate in an art exhibition abroad. 10,000 points awarded."
"System rewards 1 million yuan"
"System upgrades space to a 35 square meter portable space"
"System rewards 100 jin of beef!"
"System rewards 1 kilogram of vegetable seeds."
It had been a long time since Shen Wei had experienced such generous rewards from the System.
This time, the online reputation points accumulated to about 80,000 to 90,000.
Adding the System's rewards, the total points finally reached 300,000.
Recently, the System had been incredibly stingy with points. She had spent 65,000 points on fertilizer earlier, which had really pained her.
This time, it made up for it. Indeed, these points were truly useful.
Moreover, Shen Wei had a plan to give Gu Qingyan a gift.
This trip out was largely thanks to Gu Qingyan's assistance.
This young master had never done any work serving others before.
His care for Shen Wei this time was clearly visible.
She had previously found out that Gu Qingyan liked sneakers and games.
He had an entire wall of shoes at home.
Basically, if he wanted it, he would have it.
As for computer games, he was a big spender, reportedly having spent over 10 million in games.
What Shen Wei wanted to give might not necessarily hit the spot.
So this time, the points would come in handy.
Shen Wei planned to use the customization area in the points mall to specially customize a gift for Gu Qingyan.
First was a pair of sneakers personally signed by three world-class superstars.
Such sneakers couldn't be bought anywhere.
They were privately collected by top-tier wealthy individuals.
Shen Wei used 10,000 points to exchange for this top-level limited edition sneaker.
For a shoe lover, this would be incredibly cool.
Besides this, Shen Wei also bought a complete e-sports room from the System.
It came with an immersive gaming pod.
This concept was first proposed in science fiction novels.
The so-called holographic gaming.
Currently, headsets have been developed, including 3D and AI naked-eye technology.
But they can't achieve holographic capabilities. Both domestic and foreign researchers have been working on it, but the results aren't satisfactory.
The set Shen Wei purchased was provided by the System. It was at least 20 years ahead of current technology.
Moreover, 20 games were downloaded into it. These included post-apocalyptic games, farming games, fighting games, and shooting games.
They seemed to be products of the future world. This was very cheap, only costing 1,000 points.
Now, after dinner, everyone was still chatting casually.
Shen Wei noticed that He Lingfeng wasn't there.
Upon asking, people around said, "He Lingfeng was taken away by Professor Liu and Professor Gao to attend a computer science conference."
The previous computer science conference was hosted by Professor Gao.
Professor Liu didn't want to overburden a prodigy before.
But He Lingfeng's talent was truly too high.
There was a feeling that he would be wasted under their tutelage.
So they wanted to let him go to a higher field, a higher platform.
This time, Mu Zhixing shone brightly, which also made them determined to let He Lingfeng make an appearance.
The local genius Zhao Jie didn't go.
He had always benchmarked himself against He Lingfeng.
Now he deeply realized his own inadequacy.
There are always people better than you, heights yet to be reached.
This made Su Jun both amused and exasperated: "There's no need for such self-deprecation."
This child had already learned high school curriculum.
Although he couldn't reach He Lingfeng's heights, he was already very outstanding.
Yet he still wasn't satisfied.
Feeling the pressure from the children's competitiveness, Su Jun suddenly felt that his own achievements didn't amount to much. Children truly are one's best teachers!
As for Song Ping An.
He was younger and could now speak haltingly.
Although the child had grown up with wild animals while homeless, coming here seemed to have truly released his nature. The whole child became very cheerful.
This time when Shen Wei returned, Song Ping An saw her and couldn't help but approach her.
Shen Wei held the child in her arms, and the little one smiled smugly.
Weng Lan beside them said, "This child likes you the most."
At the dinner table, Liu Chef also said, "Children's eyes are the brightest, they know who is a good person."
Shen Wei was considered the most popular teacher among the children in the kindergarten.
This time Shen Wei left suddenly.
Little Ping An searched for her for several days, and when he couldn't find her, he even cried once.
Shen Wei hadn't expected the little one to cry for her.
She lowered her head to comfort him, and the little one kissed her face, his soft lips feeling very special.
Children are truly adorable.
It was just a simple gathering, with all the diners being old employees.
But everyone was great and relaxed.
As they chatted, they said that they never expected the blind teacher Zhang Song to be such a meme king. He was called the lark by the children in the kindergarten.
Children are the most innocent and pure. They wouldn't bully him just because he's blind and can't see.
Every time Zhang Song comes to work, he's very happy.
His mother said these words with tears in her eyes: "It's really good that my child can come here."
Over the years, there have been some job opportunities here and there.
Most of them wanted him to be an influencer, which in essence meant exploiting fans.
People liked to hear him sing, which was already a great encouragement for him. He didn't want to make money from fans anymore.
But apart from this, he had no other means of making a living.
The olive branch from Starry Sky Kindergarten was redemption for him.
Not just him, even the street dance teacher was now holding a drink and smiling happily, no longer looking like the cool guy he was at the beginning.
He now shuttles between two places, also coming to teach children street dance.
His personal account has now reached 200,000 followers.
He also regularly posts some popular dances on newcomers' accounts.
The same dance, when he performs it, becomes particularly alluring.
His rapid increase in followers has even made his former management company start contacting him, asking if he still wants to be a performer.
They had taken the wrong path before.
Everyone was aiming to be a performer.
Now with the prevalence of the internet, internet celebrities can also earn a lot of money.
If they had known earlier, his positioning should have been towards becoming an internet celebrity.
But he doesn't want that anymore.
Because here, he has a stage.
Doctor Lu couldn't help but say, "It's so interesting, last time I passed by, I saw two kids challenging each other to a dance battle!"
The dance performed by the two children was jerky and halting, almost as if they had learned their moves from zombies.
It made him double over with laughter at the time.
When Doctor Lu brought this up, the street dance teacher blushed and said, "I'll teach them properly."
Children dancing is both adorable and amusing.
Although the kids were slow learners, each of them had stars in their eyes when they talked about how cool dancing was.
They said they loved dancing and wanted to keep doing it forever.
The street dance teacher truly adored this aspect of the kindergarten.
He had long yearned for the stage and fame.
But in this moment, the light in the children's eyes made him feel that the meaning of life was somehow different.
It was as if he saw his younger self, the one who simply loved to dance.
The simplest life is often the happiest.
