The late autumn day was awakened by the rustling cold wind.
And Xie Shi was woken up regularly by the sound of the system.
His eyelids were so heavy that he couldn't open them open. He barely opened them a crack, and could only see the darkness in the room without any light.
How many days has it been? Is the fat raccoon cat crazy?
Xie Shi sat on the couch with a chicken coop on his head, his little face red with sleep marks full of annoyance from being woken up by the "alarm clock" early.
Memories of last night came flooding back, and the sleepiness and irritability in his eyes completely faded: the screening room, the dream world... were they real? But, how to earn credits and star badges? At such a young age, I have to bear the burden of troubles that I shouldn’t have!
As if sensing his confusion, a system prompt automatically popped up in front of him: [Daily tasks have been started. ]
[——Focus on study, one credit hour. Note: Be sure to concentrate on your studies and do not get distracted midway. ]
Is there such a good thing in the world? ? ?
Xie Shi immediately rubbed his hands in surprise and joy.
In this case, he goes to private school for three hours every day, doesn't he just get six credits in vain? ——Why doesn’t the sun come out yet? He can't wait to go to school!
Mrs. Yu was surprised to find that the little carrot head had already gotten out of the bed before she had "plucked out the carrot" today, and compared to yesterday, he was even at least two quarters of an hour earlier. The whole family was able to witness a miracle - the seal of the magical artifact in the quilt failed, and the four-year-old cub took the initiative to wake up the whole family!
The clanging of pots and pans started early.
At sunrise, Xie Shi and his son had their morning meal, and the two figures, one large and one small, set off in the dim morning light.
This is Xie Shi's second day of formal enrollment.
Since he had been urging him since he woke up in the morning, when he arrived at the school, he found that he was the first to arrive. Even Master Xu was surprised. He looked at the student with admiration: "Studying is a good thing." So diligent.”
Master Xu, who never praised others easily, gave a rare compliment. He turned around and went into the backyard to call out the confused Xu Shouwen - didn't you see that the youngest junior brother came to school early? Why are you still sleeping? Get up and study quickly!
"???" Because his family is a private school, Xu Shouwen, who has to get up at a certain time every day to go to school on time and never gets up early, experienced the pain of getting up early to study for the first time. He still had a hurriedly taken pancake in his mouth and said sleepily. When he entered the school, he met a pair of curious and bright eyes.
"Senior Brother Xu!" Xie Shi called out.
The little dumpling sitting by the window was wrapped in a thick blue cotton-padded coat, with a plump baby face. He was rubbing his eyes while saying hello. He looked really cute. However, this little dumpling looked like a devil in Xu Shouwen's eyes.
"Junior brother, junior brother, senior brother, you have caused great harm to me!"
As soon as he got closer, he started shouting.
"It's freezing cold, wouldn't you like to sleep a little longer? Ah Shi, how can you bear to get up so early!"
Obviously, the seniors and brothers got along so well yesterday. When they talked about eating, drinking and having fun, they almost bowed to each other on the spot. They looked at each other and saw that we all don't like to study. Who would have thought that this morning, I was caught off guard and was stabbed in the back by my junior brother!
Xie Shi was reminded of the warmth of the quilt by his words, and was filled with reluctance and struggle. However, thinking of the all-encompassing dream world and virtual screening room, those reluctances immediately disappeared.
He tilted his head: "Wouldn't it be better to come and study early?"
"Of course it's good, but..."
Xu Shouwen took a breath of cold air.
However, in just one day, the junior brother actually broke away from the food, drink and fun alliance and became a master?
Xu Shouwen hesitated to speak, and finally said with a smile: "Well, the Master often says, 'Get up early and do one job three times a day.' Master will be happy that you are so diligent, Ah Shi. If I make Master angry in the future, you will have to do more." Speak good words for senior brother."
"..." Xie Shi, who actually doesn't want to get up early and doesn't like to learn anything just for the great cause of cultivating immortals, was silent for a second and patted his chest to confirm, "Senior brother, don't worry, I will guarantee it!"
Xu Shouwen happily ate the cooking cakes.
He had a premonition. His father, who used to watch him closely to study, may have higher priority goals in the future. With his smart and hard-working junior brother taking away most of his attention, he finally doesn't have to shoulder his father's "high expectations" alone.
Thinking of this, Xu Shouwen was overjoyed.
He patted Xie Shi's thin shoulder and took the initiative to arrange the books and ink in his schoolbag for his junior brother: "Come on, come on, Shi, study hard. If you don't understand anything, just ask me."
Not long after, the other Meng boys arrived one by one. Master Xu was still wearing a green trousers, but today he had changed into one without patches. Holding on to the scroll and ruler, he walked slowly through the door.
The two stopped chatting and sat upright.
He started studying early and received successive praises from his master and encouragement from his senior brothers. Under the temptation of the credits, Xie Shi became extremely serious.
Master Xu went around the school, checking the students' homework as usual, and asking the students to recite what they had learned one by one. Except for the young Xie Shi, everyone also had to hand in the homework assigned yesterday - ten papers written after returning home. Big characters.
From time to time there was the sound of a ruler hitting the palm of my hand.
When it was Xie Shi's turn, he opened his mouth and came. He had already memorized the words of "Three Character Classic" and memorized them in one go.
Master Xu nodded, without saying any words of praise, but he felt more and more satisfied in his heart - it is true that this young disciple had recited the outline in school yesterday, but his memory was not long-lasting. If he did not review and consolidate it after returning home, he would not be so fluent.
After reviewing the past, it’s time to learn something new.
The ups and downs of reading sounded in the school. As Master Xu read over and over again, Xie Shi stretched out his little hand to make a few gestures, starting a new round of learning to read.
Now his learning progress has almost caught up with Fang Peng and Wu Yue, so Master Xu adjusted his seats so that the three of them could sit in the back row and teach the follow-up of the "Three Character Classic" together.
After teaching the three in the back row, Master Xu moved to the front row and taught Wang Lin's "Hundred Family Surnames" and Zhao Lixin and Xu Shouwen's "Thousand-Character Essay" in sequence. For a time, the sound of books in the school was loud, and the Meng children who were shaking their heads were each reading their own books without disturbing each other.
Compared with yesterday, Xie Shi's learning enthusiasm was even higher, and his learning results in the same period of time were naturally improved. Master Xu, who was observing secretly, saw all this.
He was secretly surprised.
Yesterday, it was obvious that Xie Shi's talent was extraordinary. Master Xu admired it in his heart, but did not praise him verbally, so as not to become arrogant and complacent at a young age, neglect his studies, and eventually "hurt Zhongyong".
Driven by his love for talent, he couldn't help but set strict requirements that were far beyond those of ordinary Meng children. Seeing that Xie Shi could always meet them easily, he couldn't help but keep raising the requirements. This child could even catch them. Master Xu was very fond of him. Can't help but hope for more.
So, after walking around and coming back, he saw that Fang Peng and Wu Yue were still stumbling and reciting the "Three Character Classic" and copying the newly learned words today. Master Xu went straight to Xie Shi, and the ruler moved slowly on the book: "But Remember everything?"
Seeing Xie Shi nod, he started to open a small stove for Xie Shi. Just like yesterday, improve the progress based on the original.
Xie Shi: "..."
Unexpectedly, yesterday's "key care" was just the beginning, and it would become the norm from now on.
Is this the Master's "love"?
...Sure enough, it is not ordinary "thick".
The sun was getting higher outside the window, and the pine shadows slanted on the table. In the warm sunshine, the neat words on the book suddenly turned into sleepy bugs one after another, burrowing straight into Xie Shiqi's orifices.
The early sleepiness was finally over.
Little Tuanzi's head moved little by little, his straight back gradually slackened, and finally his forehead completely hit the "Three Character Classic".
Boom!
The sound was neither light nor heavy, but it attracted everyone to look at it. Xiaotuanzi raised his head in a daze, and a small red bump appeared on his forehead. He raised his hand and rubbed it aggrievedly. His round eyes hurt. Tears came to my eyes.
——Ouch, it hurts! !
"Pfft-haha!"
I don’t know who laughed first, and then the laughter started one after another.
Until Master Xu coughed heavily.
The Meng children immediately stopped laughing and endorsed loudly.
Xie Shi was panicked when he woke up. He secretly glanced at the ruler in Master Xu's sleeve and subconsciously hid his little hand behind his back.
Master Xu was angry and funny. Sure enough, he took out the ruler, but instead of hitting his palm as Xie Shi thought, he clicked on the open "Three Character Classic": "Do you know what you just taught?"
Xie Shi, who had escaped the disaster, was obviously relieved. He immediately raised his chin and responded loudly: "Everything is done!"
Master Xu didn't say whether he believed it or not. He looked it over with a straight face and found that Xie Shi recognized every word he had been taught.
I thought that today's study progress had touched Xie Shi's limit, but now it seems that it is not enough. I don't know whether he underestimated the latter's talent, or whether his potential exploded under pressure. In short, the progress can be improved.
When children fall asleep in class, it is indeed because there are too few learning tasks. After completing them early, they are too idle and must increase their workload!
Xie Shi: "..."
Two hours of early schooling made Xie Shi doubt his life.
Did you learn so much yesterday? No, right?
Has anyone else learned so much? Maybe not.
In the canteen at noon, Xie Shi sat in a daze, feeling that there were a lot of words flying in front of his eyes, and the food was no longer fragrant.
Cultivation as an immortal is indeed not easy, the four-year-old sighed.
Just when Xie Shi was about to feel tired, the system made a sound at the right time, drawing his attention:
[Congratulations to the host, you have obtained three credits. ]
"Three credits?" Xie Shi frowned, "Why are there only three? There is still one credit, and you swallowed it?"
Don't think that he can't count because he's young. There are two hours of morning study and four hours of study, which totals four credits.
[How can you accuse someone of innocence out of thin air! ]
The fat civet cat cried out that he was wronged.
It hummed and said: [Obviously the host did not concentrate on studying for four hours. On an hourly basis, in three hours, more than 80% of the time is effective learning; in the third hour, the host dozed off midway, the learning efficiency is extremely low, and the effective learning time is less than 50%. Dang Dang Dang! Zero credits! ]
"This, this, this, you are lying! Why didn't you make it clear earlier?" Xiao Tuanzi was so anxious that he was incoherent. After studying hard all morning, how can I accept that I lost one credit in vain?
The fat civet cat flicked its tail, held up a small wooden sign, and repeated the contents of the daily tasks word for word:
[——Focus on study, one credit hour. Note: Be sure to concentrate on your studies and do not get distracted midway. ]
The last line of remarks is bolded and blackened by it.
The system didn't tell you in advance that credits would be deducted if you were distracted... Xie Shi was very depressed and wanted to fight for it, but the system was unable to do so.
[Energy is required to activate each function of the system, and the host can only recharge it by studying hard. If you don't study hard and don't really absorb knowledge, even reading a book for a day is a waste of time. ]
The fat civet cat said seriously: [The useless time wasted cannot be counted as credits. ]
At the end, it did not forget to raise its paws and encourage: [I hope the host will learn a lesson and ensure the quality of learning! ]
Xie Shi could no longer listen to what was being said behind the system. He was still immersed in the pain and depression of losing one point.
The small dumplings visibly shriveled into diced dried radish.
"Junior brother, junior brother, what's wrong with you?"
Xu Shouwen, who was dining at the same table, was shocked.
Junior brother, why did he suddenly turn gray?
Could it be that he was overwhelmed by the heavy study tasks?
Xu Shouwen became more and more distressed: "You are such a good child, why did you believe Master's lies about studying early?"
"Studying hard is nonsense, what is the right path?"
Someone asked softly behind him.
Xu Shouwen held a bowl in one hand and chopsticks in the other, pointing: "Of course it's fun, have fun! At our age, we should let go of our nature. It's not too late to start studying at the age of eight!"
"Snapped--"
The familiar sound of breaking the air sounded behind him. It was the sound of a ruler beating the air.
Xu Shouwen turned around and froze.
What caught his eye was Master Xu's livid face.
Now, it was Xu Shouwen's turn to languish.
"Diligence is more important in work than playfulness. It doesn't matter if you mislead yourself, how can you mislead others!"
Who wouldn't be angry when someone crazily takes a promising seedling astray? Master Xu’s sex is just a few rulers.
His son, who felt uncomfortable after being smoked, was still upset. To mislead this junior fellow student with nonsense, it must be because he has too little homework and is too busy.
"Copy the thousand-character essay ten times and hand it in at the end of the month."
Master Xu has left, and the dining hall is still silent.
When Xie Shi finally recovered from the heartache of losing one credit, he was shocked when he saw the gray Xu Shouwen.
"Senior Brother Xu, Senior Brother Xu, what's wrong with you?"
After finishing his meal, Zhao Zixin picked up the empty bowl and passed by the two of them. Seeing this, he chuckled and joked: "It's nothing, Junior Brother Xu just released his natural instincts."
