Catalogue of forbidden Taoist techniques

Ling Wuji looked disapproving: "In this commodity society, what can't be bought with money? But are you showing your concern for me?"

"Smug!"

If sound has temperature, then the girl's voice at this moment is close to absolute zero.

Then she said that she wanted to teach the pink-haired girl how to bake cookies. As a member of the club, Ling Wuji was also obliged to help, at least he could help taste the cookies. After thinking about it, Ling Wuji decided to follow her. Unexpectedly, Jeanne, who had nothing to do with the matter, also followed. Naturally, Liliana didn't want to be left alone, so the group of six rushed to the home economics classroom in a mighty manner.

But in the end, only Yukinoshita Yukino and Yuigahama Yui were busy.

Yukinoshita Yukino first demonstrated it to the pink-haired dumpling, and the cookies she made tasted very good, or rather, they were very well made.

But the pink-haired ball made a pot of something that looked like charcoal.

No one moved.

"Student Ling?"

"If an animal looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and walks like a duck, what do you think it is?"

Seeing that everyone else was silent, Yuigahama Yui didn't react for a moment, so she simply said, "Of course it's a duck."

Ling Wuji nodded: "Similarly, this thing looks like charcoal and smells like charcoal. What do you think it is?"

Yuigahama Yui was overwhelmed by this roundabout way of speaking.

She couldn't help but feel depressed, thinking that she couldn't do any of these things at all. She expressed a frustrated mood, saying that she didn't have the talent like Yukinoshita. However, this statement angered Yukinoshita, who said, "People who haven't worked hard have no right to envy talented people," and gave her a severe lecture.

Originally, Yukinoshita Yukino thought that the girl would become hostile to her after her preaching, but she didn't expect that the pink-haired girl gave her a shining look and said that she envied Yukinoshita's attitude towards life because she had always just been trying to please others.

It was only then that Ling Wuji realized that this person could not be the normal, slightly stupid but simple enough person that Hiratsuka Shizuka had found?

Under this kind of gaze attack, Yukinoshita Yukino was like a cat with its fur smoothed, patiently guiding her, while Ling Wuji just sat aside bored, but Jeanne came over and asked him: "Is this how middle school girls make friends today?"

"I don't think it counts."

"why?"

"Because one of them didn't have any friends before, and it's not even clear whether she considers the other one a friend now."

"The interpersonal relationships among today's middle school girls are truly amazing."

Joan of Arc said.

Ling Wuji gave her a strange look and said, "Why, you look like you want to join them?"

“Is this strange?”

"Although I don't want to make any comments on your personal interests and hobbies, I just feel that it is quite inappropriate."

"Why? Do you mean that it's hard for someone like me to get along with them?"

"No matter how much I say, it's useless. You can go and try."

Ling Wu Ji shook his head. He had an indescribable strange feeling about the fact that a heroic spirit from hundreds of years ago came to the campus and said he wanted to make friends with modern people.

"I think you misunderstood, Lord Ling. Ms. Leticia probably meant that she really likes the atmosphere of helping each other solve problems, so she also wants to help."

Instead, Liliana heard their conversation and helped to explain.

"is it?"

Ling Wuji looked at Joan of Arc with a questioning look.

"Of course!"

"I didn't expect you to have the potential to be an idol."

"Idol?"

"No, it's not the idol you think of. Although I think it's similar to some extent, but..." He thought about it, but still couldn't find a suitable adjective, so he threw the question to Hikigaya Hachiman, "Hikigaya-san, what do you mean by contemporary idols?"

"Someone who sells dreams to everyone and brings laughter to everyone!"

Volume 5: Stormy and Dark: Chapter 4: The Name of the Society

"That sounds interesting..."

When Jeanne heard what Hikigaya Hachiman said, her eyes couldn't help but brighten up.

Seeing her like this, Ling Wuji couldn't help but think that she actually possessed some elements of an idol, right? At least she was inspiring. Even if she was no longer alive, her deeds would still echo in history, giving later generations the courage to follow in her footsteps. From this point of view, she was a well-deserved idol.

But Japanese idols...

He inexplicably found this plan very interesting.

With his current status and position, it is not impossible for him to promote someone to become an idol.

"You want to debut as an idol?"

Jeanne instinctively sensed some malice in Ling Wuji's words, and immediately said with caution: "I will consider it after I have a detailed understanding."

"Tsk."

"You look sorry?"

"Nothing. Once you understand it yourself, if you have any ideas, you can come to me."

"Why are we looking for you?"

"Although I have no doubt that you can debut on your own, and you can protect yourself, but it's easier for you to come to me?"

"Why are you helping me?"

"Who knows, maybe after I help you become an idol you won't bother me anymore?"

Ling Wu Ji just said.

Then he just watched in silence as Hikigaya Hachiman used a method that was almost like sophistry to make Yuigahama Yui accept the relatively edible cookies she had made. Of course, Ling Wuji would definitely not force himself. He also saw that Yuigahama Yui was probably feeling guilty for not holding the dog leash tightly enough. Although there were no victims in that incident, if Ling Wuji had not been there, Hikigaya Hachiman might have been injured. So although Ling Wuji was the person who made the greatest contribution in that incident, the person she liked the most might be the guy with dead fish eyes.

After all, it's rare to have the courage to equate your life with that of a dog.

So she definitely put a lot of love into the cookies she made.

And Hikigaya Hachiman's sophistry made her realize a certain fact.

So Ling Wuji naturally didn't bother to get involved anymore.

"The interpersonal relationships between middle school students seem so complicated..."

It is indeed quite complicated for a country girl who is illiterate.

Then Joan of Arc immediately raised her hand and spread out two fingers, trying to poke Ling Wuji's eyes that looked down on others. However, Ling Wuji had long learned how to deal with this trick from Hong Kong movies in the last century. He just raised his palm in front of his eyes, and the opponent's hand was immediately stuck, unable to move forward.

Joan of Arc still looked incredulous.

Ling Wuji thought, unless you use your two feet to do this to me like in the movies—

Even so, he is not without a way to stop it.

"Ling, I see you and Leticia have such a good relationship..."

The elusive Shizuka Hiratsuka appeared from the corner of the stairs again, and saw two people fighting, so she said.

"Which eye of yours saw that I had a good relationship with her?"

"I saw it with both eyes."

"That's just your illusion."

"In short, we need to help new students integrate into the class," Shizuka Hiratsuka patted the boy's shoulder, and then asked Jeanne on the other side, "Laetitia, is there any club you want to join?"

"Societies?"

"It's just some activities done after class, like playing basketball or football. For example, you just helped his club complete an activity."

"A group activity to help others?" Jeanne opened her eyes wide and said, "I'm very interested in this."

"So you want to join their club? It's not impossible, but they are all first-year students, and the number of people is not enough..." Hiratsuka Shizuka thought for a while, and then said, "Speaking of which, Liliana-san, have you decided which club to join?"

The answer is naturally no other choice.

"That makes five now. We need to decide on a name for the club, Ling."

"Wouldn't it be enough to just join the Helping People Club? Is it necessary to go through so much trouble?"

"It's ambiguous, right? And you don't seem like you'd like to help others."

"So why not teach a man to fish instead of giving him a fish?"

"Are you writing a light novel? It's too long!"

"Then keep it simple. Grant the Fisheries Department?"

"Others will think that all the members of your club are fishermen when they hear it."

"Fisherman...there's nothing wrong with that, right?"

Of course, deciding the name of the club is obviously not something that can be privately decided between Ling Wu Ji and Hiratsuka Shizuka.

So the next day, Hiratsuka Shizuka, the other two new members, and the three original members had a heated discussion. During the discussion, Yukinoshita Yukino even proposed a name like Service Club, but Ling Wuji rejected it on the grounds that it was too humble, saying that it made it seem like they were begging others to help them. So in the end, the name that was passed was the name that sounded like the title of a light novel -

It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.

Abbreviated as the Ministry of Fisheries.

"To celebrate the official name, shall I find someone with troubles to help you out?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka said.

"I'll kill a programmer as a sacrifice to the gods!"

"What did the programmer do wrong to deserve being sacrificed?"

"Is there a bug in the program I wrote?"

"Unless it's a very simple program, there is basically no such thing as a bug-free program."

When Ling Wuji heard what Hiratsuka Shizuka said, he immediately raised his eyelids in surprise and said, "I didn't expect that you know so much about this, teacher?"

"Of course."

"Is it because I've been on too many blind dates with bald programmers?"

"Order! No! Disease!"

"exist?"

"It's not okay to make fun of other people's physical defects, okay?"
