Chapter 136: A Corner Where the Sun Can't Reach

"Hello, Teacher Cheng!" In the school, the orcs who were rushing to class greeted a boy who was more than one meter tall. The boy was holding a thick book in his hand and nodded to the orc who greeted him. This boy was the grown-up Cheng Lingqu. He was eight years old this year, but he still looked small and very cute. He was the teacher of all the students in the cultural courses of Qiming City, and almost everyone knew him.

Cheng Lingqu walked into the classroom holding the books he was going to use for class and stood on the platform specially built for him. He was not tall enough, and if he did not stand on the platform, only his head could be seen standing next to the podium, so he had to stand on the platform so that the students below could see him. Cheng Lingqu opened the book to find the content of today's class, turned around and wrote the words to be learned today on the blackboard. When he finished writing the last stroke, the horn for class sounded, and they were about to start the class officially.

"Okay, students, let's review what we learned yesterday. Everyone, write it down in your notebook." After Cheng Lingqu finished speaking, the students in the audience began to write carefully in their books. The only sound in the classroom was the rubbing of the pen tip against the paper. Cheng Lingqu walked slowly on the podium, watching the students write. Some students wrote very quickly, while others wrote slowly, but everyone was very serious. When Cheng Lingqu saw a student make a mistake, he would gently tap the student's desk, then patiently point out the mistake and correct it.

As the horn sounded, Cheng Lingqu stood up and began to assign homework to the students. After everything was arranged, he picked up the thick pile of books on the podium and turned to walk towards another classroom. On the way to his destination, Cheng Lingqu happened to meet Banmu who had just finished class. Seeing his father, he immediately shouted excitedly: "Father!"

Hearing this shout, the coldness on Banmu's face melted away a little. The anger he had felt because of the poor performance of the students in class also eased a little at this moment. His expression became gentle and he asked, "Is the get out of class over?"

Cheng Lingqu nodded obediently and replied, "Well, I'm just about to rush to the next classroom."

Banmu carefully straightened Cheng Lingqu's collar and told him earnestly, "Remember to rest and don't overwork yourself. For those students who don't study well, you should punish them decisively when it's time."

Cheng Lingqu shook his head and said with a smile: "They are actually quite smart, but they just get confused sometimes!"

Ban Mu reached out and tapped Cheng Lingqu's head gently and said, "Okay, get some rest. Your father said he will cook for you tonight, so go home early from get off work."

Cheng Lingqu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he responded expectantly, "Really? I will definitely not be late for work today!"

After a brief conversation, the father and son separated and continued to work on their own things. When Cheng Lingqu arrived at the classroom, the class bell rang, and the timing was just right.

"Hahahahahaha... I'm about to succeed! Just give me a little more time to absorb more energy!" Deep in the underground cave, the mysterious man in black robes stood in a dark and damp corner, laughing hysterically. He was surrounded by bones and unknown strange liquids, emitting a disgusting stench. In the corner, there were several skinny and haggard orcs sleeping soundly.

"Sir." Suddenly, an orc walked in from outside. If Cheng Mo and others were present, they would be surprised to find that the orc who walked in was Ban Ming who had been dead for a long time! However, what was puzzling was that at this moment, Ban Ming was moving freely as if he were alive.

The man in black robe glanced at Ban Ming coldly and asked in a low voice, "How is the investigation going?"

Ban Ming replied expressionlessly: "We have already found out that the child is still in Qiming City. As long as we can sneak into the city, we will have a chance to take him away."

It turned out that after Ban Ming's death, his body was brutally cut into pieces and buried on a remote hillside. But one day, the black-robed man secretly stole his body and used a forbidden technique to revive him. However, after the resurrection, Ban Ming had lost his self-consciousness and became an emotionless walking corpse, completely controlled by the black-robed man.

"Hahahahaha... Very good! You must bring back more cubs when the time comes. I need to absorb a lot of vitality to replenish myself, and then make their corpses into puppets, so that we can lure the child out more easily!" The black-robed man laughed wildly and suddenly reached out to grab the orcs curled up in the corner. He exerted a little force with his hands, and those orcs lost their breath in an instant before they even had time to struggle.

"Yes, sir!" Ban Ming nodded respectfully, then turned and left.

In the past, it would have been easy to kidnap a cub. However, nowadays, almost all tribes send their cubs to the City of Enlightenment to study. This way, the cubs can learn knowledge and there is one less mouth to feed. Only some small tribes still retain the old way of life - leaving the cubs at home while the adult orcs go out hunting.

In the past year, Ban Ming had quietly wiped out many of these small tribes. Because these tribes were so small, no one would have the slightest suspicion even if they disappeared without a trace. People would only speculate that these tribes might have moved away or been wiped out by other beasts, after all, they were too small.

On a quiet weekend, Cheng Mo and his family enjoyed a rare rest time. In front of Cheng Mo, there was a huge wooden barrel filled with last year's wine.

The year before last, the collection team found another grape vine, and Cheng Mo carefully transplanted it to his own yard. Last year, the grapes grew out, each of which was large and round, exuding an alluring aroma. So Cheng Mo decided to pick some grapes to make wine, which was also a task that 079 had assigned to him. Speaking of this task, it was really a bit strange. Since 079 released it, it has not been in a hurry to urge Cheng Mo to complete it. If Cheng Mo hadn't suddenly remembered it, I'm afraid this task would have no idea when it would have come to a conclusion.

Now, after a whole year, the wine has finished fermenting, but what will it become? Cheng Mo stared at the barrel of wine with anticipation.
