Delta: We'll let you protect us, but you'll end up protecting our profession?

Inside dormitory 106.

"Awesome!!!"

"Holy crap! Xiao Jiu has no hair!!"

"Just one more team left!!"

"Go for it, Xiao Jiu!!! Aim for stardom!"

Seeing Xiao Jiu successfully wipe out the team once again, Gu Yu Benben and the other three roommates all shouted excitedly.

And just as they were cheering and Xiao Jiu was getting ready...

"Thump!"

The dormitory room door was kicked open.

Listen to the sound of the door being kicked.

The six men, their faces contorted with anger, all turned to look at them, ready to unleash their fury.

But after seeing who it was...

The six of them immediately deflated!

A young woman, around twenty-four or twenty-five years old, stood at the dormitory entrance, hands on her hips, glaring angrily at the six people.

The person who arrived was none other than Gu Yu, Benben, and Xiao Jiu's counselor!

Their counselor was a recent graduate student and a new teacher named Zhao Yu.

After skipping classes for two consecutive days, the news that the entire dormitory of six students had skipped classes reached the counselor's ears from the class monitor.

Sure enough, the counselor went to the classroom and didn't see the six students.

They stormed into the dormitory in a menacing manner!

"Zhang Yang (Benben)! Li Yuan (Guyu)! Wang Chongchong (Xiao Jiu)!! You three are not learning good things."

"Can you please not lead others astray?"

The counselor roared angrily.

Hearing the counselor's shout, everyone lowered their heads.

Xiao Jiu, on the other hand, was nervous and wanted to continue operating the computer.

"Still playing?! Still playing?! You're skipping classes and spending all day playing your crappy games!"

"Is playing video games a good career path? Can you make money playing video games?! You play them all day long!"

The counselor walked up to Xiao Jiu and scolded her.

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Jiu immediately retorted, "What's wrong with playing games?"

"You can actually make money playing games! And more than you!"

Upon hearing this, the counselor became even more furious: "Come on, say it again!"

"Believe it or not, I'll call your family right now?"

Xiao Jiu got angry when she heard her counselor threatening her with her family:

"Hit me! Hit me all you want! My parents divorced when I was eight!"

"They've both started new families, and nobody cares about me anymore. You think they'll take care of me just because you make a phone call?"

"If you really have the guts, then go ahead and hit me! I'm hoping my parents will come and discipline me, show me some concern!"

After he finished speaking, the counselor stood there dumbfounded.

Xiao Jiu continued shouting at the top of her lungs, "Last month, I earned over nine thousand yuan by playing games in my spare time. I earned all my tuition fees myself!"

"Can't I fight? If I don't fight, will you pay my tuition? If I don't fight, will you give me living expenses?"

These words, like a sharp sword, instantly shattered the counselor's defenses.

The counselor opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end, she swallowed it back.

Don't persuade others to be kind to others without suffering.

She carefully chose her words: "Your family...doesn't provide for your tuition and living expenses?"

Xiao Jiu just stared at the computer screen and stopped talking to the counselor.

Gu Yu and Benben, who were standing nearby, immediately chimed in to explain, "Yes!"

"He took out student loans himself to go to college. Because he didn't have any living expenses, he would eat pickled vegetables and steamed buns in his dormitory when the semester started."

"The situation has only improved now thanks to the escort missions..."

Upon hearing Gu Yu and Benben's explanation, the counselor was speechless.

You're talking to a student who can't even afford tuition and doesn't have living expenses about studying?

You need to be well-fed and hydrated before you can study!

If you force people to study while they're starving all day, that's just talking without understanding the situation!

"Phew... I apologize for my mistake! I'm sorry!" The counselor wasn't unreasonable.

After learning about Xiao Jiu's family situation, she immediately apologized to Xiao Jiu sincerely.

And upon seeing the counselor, he actually bowed his head and apologized.

Everyone was surprised and astonished.

From childhood to adulthood, they have never seen an elder or teacher take the initiative to apologize or admit that they have a problem.

Even if they really make a mistake, they will usually continue to make the mistake because of their so-called "face".

People like their counselor, who admit their mistakes and apologize on the spot, are truly a minority.

Of course, it could also be because Zhao Yu has only recently graduated.

"I understand Xiao Jiu's situation, and I don't object to him playing games to earn a living."

"And what about you guys?" After apologizing, the counselor changed the subject and turned to look at Gu Yu and Benben.

Gu Yu stammered, "Uh...we just want to earn some living expenses..."

Benben: "Yeah, yeah! Let's improve our lives!"

The counselor pressed further, "Don't your families give you any money?"

"No, not at all..." Gu Yu replied clumsily.

The counselor yelled, "If you don't have one, then go to class properly!!!"

"Skipping class is one thing, but skipping the whole morning! Two days in a row!"

"They really don't take their studies seriously!"

Hearing the counselor's call, Gu Yubenben and her three roommates quickly left the dormitory.

They hurried towards the classroom.

Only Xiao Jiu was left staring blankly at the computer screen.

The counselor took a deep breath: "Well... it's a good thing that you're playing games to earn tuition and living expenses."

"But I think... it's best not to let it affect your studies."

"But I think... it's best not to let it affect your studies."

"Ideally, you should manage your time wisely, balancing academics and gaming, and treating gaming as a part-time job..."

"You're doing really well to earn nine thousand a month, but gaming isn't a sustainable way to make money."

The counselor patiently comforted Xiao Jiu.

Xiao Jiu had calmed down by this point. He didn't argue with the counselor, but simply nodded honestly: "I understand."

"Okay, I'll ask around for you later and see if you can apply for a scholarship this semester."

After giving Xiao Jiu some advice, the counselor left, thoughtfully closing the door behind him.

Xiao Jiu watched her counselor's departing figure... feeling a mix of emotions.

"Xiao Jiu? What's going on? Who did you argue with?"

Xiao Jiu only snapped out of her daze when Gu Tian's voice came through the earphone again.

He chuckled, "It's nothing... I just got ganged up on by the counselor!"

"Gu Yu and Benben have both been dragged to class..."

In Gu Tian's live stream room.

"Wow... getting ganked offline by the counselor, is that even possible?"

Gu Tian was starting to lose his composure.

Youyou: "Hahaha."

Sang Yu, who was watching the game from the company, couldn't help but type "hahaha" on the public chat.

The viewers and fans in the live stream were laughing hysterically!

"Shocking! The top-tier Demon King was actually ambushed and ganked offline by his counselor!"

"Hahaha! Episode 1: Genius Xiao Jiu; Episode 2: Top Protector Falls!"

"This is hilarious! Is this what college students are like?"

"Wait, Gu Yu Benben got kidnapped? That's too much!"

"Hahaha! If you ask me, the counselors are just making a lot of trouble! They probably earn more in a month of escorting students than the counselors do in several months, right?"

"You can't say that. The counselor is just doing their job diligently..."

Gu Tian asked curiously, "What kind of school is this? It's so strict!"

Although he never went to university, he had seen glimpses of university life on Douyin (TikTok).

I know that university is very relaxed, and often you can just ask someone to answer your attendance for you if you don't have to attend class.

Their school is so strict, it probably can't be too bad.

Xiao Jiu's tone was relaxed: "It's nothing, just a decent undergraduate degree."

Upon hearing this, Gu Tian, ​​the master of showing off, immediately realized what was going on.

This kid's school is definitely not bad!

He's filling a cup!

"Hmm...you should prioritize your studies in the future," Gu Tian also offered a word of advice over his microphone.

What he really meant was that if he could make money by providing escort services, he should make as much as he could while he still could.

After all, it's hard to say whether I'll be able to find a job with such a high salary after graduation.

But at least we're still live streaming, so we can't say these things in the live stream.

Otherwise, it might be seen as encouraging students to not study properly or as providing negative guidance.
