Set up a funeral service team in a foreign land

Iloven narrowed his eyes slowly, his emerald green pupils gradually turned dark green, and he put his hands naturally in his pockets: "Little girl, did you hear everything?" He didn't notice anything, and she was able to avoid his detection, which was interesting.

"I heard it." Xi Sui'an nodded.

The system smiled happily: "Fortunately, your soul power is enough to keep you hidden, otherwise you would definitely be slapped in the face for your pretentious behavior."

Xi Sui'an twitched the corners of his mouth calmly. He twirled his fingertips, recalling the feeling just now that she could sense the breeze and dust, but she could not, and fell into deep thought.

"Ordinary person?" He looked at the girl and raised his hand to stroke his chin. "Knowing about foreign lands and avoiding perception, the girl is quite interesting."

Having lived two lives, Xi Sui'an couldn't stand an old man calling her a little girl. She paused and said, "Don't call me a little girl. Just call me Xi Sui'an."

The pine tree next to him trembled and felt the same way: just call him cedar tree, he doesn't want to be called Qingqing.

"Who are you and how do you know about the foreign land? Is there anyone at home?" There are ordinary people in the foreign land, and it is not a place completely isolated from ordinary people.

"No." Xi Sui'an shook his head calmly, "I'm just a high school student who failed the college entrance examination and wants to try to find a good university." He told the truth without any exaggeration!

"..." He is not a fool, but China seems to be holding the college entrance examination recently. It would not be too abrupt for him to be actively recruiting students in the human world during this period.

"Oh? You want to enter Damocles? Give me a reason to admit you." Iloven spread his hands, "You should know that every admission letter from the academy corresponds to a very powerful person, and my enrollment targets are non-humans, and there are other people in charge of ordinary people."

She had never thought of being admitted directly. In the novels about exciting stories, the protagonists were extremely talented and were accepted as disciples by their teachers, but this did not apply to her. Before the system recovered her divine nature, she could not obtain extremely powerful abilities and could only rely on soul power.

Xi Sui'an said politely, "I want a letter of recommendation." According to the system, every teacher and even some special students are eligible to recommend. The number varies, but the maximum is no more than five. They have to pass the assessment before they can be admitted, but they will be rejected.

"Oh?" Iloven suddenly realized and nodded with a smile, "So you want a letter of recommendation. I thought you should have said so earlier. Here, I give it to you."

The fingertips flashed slightly, and a brand new light green envelope was clamped between the fingers. On the back, a sword was hanging vertically, with thorns entwined around it and a flower blooming on the hilt. The flower was shaped like a white dove with drooping wings. There was a gem below the tip of the sword, and olive branches on the left and right surrounded it, forming an emblem.

That is the emblem of Damocles Academy.

As he raised his hand, the envelope quickly and lightly stopped in front of her eyes. She raised her hand and pinched it, but she didn't notice that the school badge lit up for a moment and disappeared in an instant.

The envelope was not sealed with the ancient and traditional wax, but with a flower pinned on it, which looked as fresh as if it had just been picked. She took it in her hand and looked at it, then raised her head and looked at Iloven again with a subtle expression.

That is a daffodil.

"Go away, Qingqing, remember to think of me." Ilowen hugged the tree trunk very friendly and wanted to give it a kiss, but Qingqing rejected him firmly with her pine needles as hard as steel. He could only sigh regretfully and waved his hand casually: "Goodbye, little girl." He took a step forward and his figure disappeared into the air.

He gave it without hesitation, as if he didn't care about the letter of recommendation at all, as if he was just throwing out a piece of blank paper.

The pine tree shook its needles, and the boy asked curiously, "Are you asking him for a recommendation letter because you want a chance to take the exam?"

"Yes, I'm an ordinary person, not a hidden gem." She explained softly, "I don't have any connections. The only people who want to get the chance to take the exam are those who have passed Damocles. Coincidentally, this Iloven is a teacher and is qualified to issue a letter of recommendation."

Qingqing sighed with some regret: "Ah, then you shouldn't look for him."

"..." Xi Sui'an slowly raised her eyebrows, feeling something was wrong. She quickly asked in her mind: "Are you sure you didn't miss anything?"

"No, Damocles' assessment system originated from the human world, but it is somewhat different. Teachers at all levels, department heads, and student union presidents and above have the qualification to recommend, and each person can recommend one to five people." The system said carefully, and then nodded to itself. It was right.

Xi Sui'an repeated this passage and asked sincerely, "Any questions?"

"Well, that's true." The young man pondered, then said, "But this system has an unwritten rule. By default, the more powerful and the higher the level, the fewer recommendation qualifications and the higher the difficulty. Conversely, the more difficult it is." So it is not the case that the more powerful a person is, the more qualifications he or she has.

Qingqing paused, and had to say tactfully: "Your letter of recommendation is the only one in Yi Luowen's hand."

"..." Xi Sui'an took a deep breath. She wanted a chance to take an assessment, but she didn't want a hellish start from the big boss of the academy!

"System, have you thought about how you want to die?" Xi Sui'an said grimly in his mind.

System Zero wanted to curl up into a ball at this moment. He choked and felt extremely guilty: "Host, we...we don't ask to be born on the same day and year, but we ask to die on the same day and year!"

I thought the system in my head could be used as an exotic encyclopedia, and it turns out that it’s good, but I can only believe half of what it says.

"It is true that there is no free lunch in the world, and there is no completely free knowledge." And this free knowledge is full of pitfalls.

Qingqing looked at the girl in front of her with a livid face. She was less than a quarter of the height of her own tree trunk, and looked so small that she seemed even more pitiful.

The branches and leaves rustled, and he added, "He didn't say anything, and he didn't give you the Domain Stone, which is the stone for teleportation. This means that you have to be careful from now on. Iloven is not a good person."

"...Thank you for your reminder." Xi Sui'an was very fond of the young pine tree. "Why are you standing by the road? Don't you think it's noisy?"

"No, I like people around." Qingqing was a little lonely: "A tree is very... lonely." He thought about it and used a word that represents human mood.

Xi Sui'an was stunned. If a tree says it is lonely, then it must be very lonely.

"Let's be friends." She patted the tree trunk, "When you transform, I'll take you to experience human life."

"Really? That's great. Those other half-humans and non-humans are so annoying. They try every means to cheat me of my pine needles." Although pine needles are just trimmed hair to him, he still hates them. Humph!

Qingqing was very happy to see the cute little girl. Songzhi handed over an egg-like fruit and said, "This cedar cone is for you. Although it is useless, I still hope it will bring you some good luck."

"Thank you." She took the cedar cone. The verdant fruit looked like a green egg, crystal clear with a faint glow on the surface. The fruit exuded a fresh fragrance from the inside out, which instantly soothed her spirit.

Wait... cedar cones? She was stunned. Cedars only produce fruits once every thirty years and they are rare. What is the reason? Male and female trees grow together, and their flowering periods are inconsistent, which can be said to be difficult to reproduce. Monogamous trees are even rarer. She looked around. Good, there was only one tree.

Xi Sui'an looked up and studied it carefully, then asked the system hesitantly, "So, Qingqing is a hermaphroditic cedar tree that is at least thirty years old?!"

The system remained silent, but answered in another sense.

Xi Sui'an put away her impolite associations and thanked her again seriously: "Thank you Qingqing for the gift. I will bring you a gift next time. It's getting late. I'm going home first and will come to see you next time." After saying goodbye to Xuesong, she happily walked towards home.

"...I've already said that I don't want to be called Qingqing anymore." The clean young voice muttered softly, then shook the branches, "Forget it, since you are a human, then you are allowed to call me Qingqing." He likes humans.

Every cedar needle was bathed in moonlight, and the breeze was blowing, which was really enjoyable. "The moon tonight is so beautiful, round like... yes, like a light bulb." Qingqing happily found that she understood another human metaphor and felt that she was a little smarter.
