Volume 1: Student Life Chapter 54: Winter Vacation Ends
"Xiao Zhou, eat something first. It's time for lunch soon, so Mom didn't make more for you." When Chen Zhou's consciousness left the system space, he saw his mother Zhang Hongying walking in with a bowl of delicious food.
They said they didn't make too much, but when Chen Zhou looked over, what was that pile of food? It covered the rice so much that he couldn't even see it.
Chen Zhou couldn't help but say, "Mom, you put too much food in there. I can't even see the rice..."
Unexpectedly, Zhang Hongying put the bowl on the table and went out to get another bowl, which was also piled high with rice.
"Who said there's rice down there? Mom will serve you a bowl of rice and a bowl of vegetables." Zhang Hongying handed the rice to Chen Zhou and said, "It's a little less, so you can eat it first and then have lunch later ."
Chen Zhou muttered: "Mom, you treat me like a pig..."
Zhang Hongying smiled and told him to finish eating, then went out.
Chen Zhou got up, washed up quickly, came back, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
Mm, the food my mom cooks is the most delicious!
Chen Zhou was indeed hungry, and soon both bowls were empty.
After eating, Chen Zhou began to pack up as he had to go back to school for evening self-study.
Chen Zhou felt that this winter vacation was really boring. It was over before he even realized it.
It seems like we just had the New Year’s Eve dinner two days ago?
Time keeps moving forward. It is the fairest thing. Every passing second has its own unique memory.
After packing up his things, Chen Zhou lay down on the bed again, closed his eyes, and his consciousness entered the system space again.
After all, it was something that Chen Zhou had obtained after so many days of cultivation and spent four and a half cans of potions, so he still cared about it.
"Wrong question collection (unique, upgrade completion progress: 0%): ..."
The progress bar was quite persistent, without any change. Chen Zhou couldn't help but ask, "System, is the progress bar of this wrong question collection a little slow? Does it automatically increase the progress? Why does it feel like it doesn't increase at all ? Is there anything I can do to help it increase the progress?"
The system did not sound, but a new line of prompts was refreshed on the display.
"Special note: During the upgrade process of the wrong question collection (uniqueness), the host needs to continue to try and make mistakes in order to increase the upgrade progress."
"???"
Chen Zhou had a black question mark face. What does this mean? I have to keep making mistakes to raise it? Then can't I just brush up the progress?
As if knowing Chen Zhou's thoughts, the display screen refreshed a line of prompts again: "Note: The host cannot improve the upgrade progress by deliberately making mistakes."
Chen Zhou: “…”
Just when he was about to have a good talk with this system.
The display screen refreshed with new information: "Since the wrong question collection (uniqueness) is a prop to help the host learn, and the host has been using it for a period of time, the accumulated wrong questions during this period can be converted into corresponding upgrade progress. The corresponding progress has been converted."
"Hmm? This... seems okay..."
Before Chen Zhou had time to be happy, the text description he pointed out hit him back.
"Wrong question collection (unique, upgrade completion progress: 10%): ..."
"Fuck! Isn't this too much? I worked so hard to practice questions, memorize words, and remember short sentences, but the leveling progress increased by trial and error is only 10%? Are you kidding me?! Come out..."
Chen Zhou cursed for a while, but the system didn't respond at all, and no new prompts appeared.
Looking at the upgrade progress, Chen Zhou felt helpless. If he had known earlier, he would have chosen the 1,000 experience points for natural science to save himself a lot of trouble and effort.
Sure enough, I was crushed by the system again...
Although he was already full from the special meal his mother prepared, Chen Zhou still ate a little symbolically at lunch.
Mainly to chat with my parents.
The family is having a great time.
At 1:30 in the afternoon, Chen Zhou went to the station. After a two-hour drive, he returned to Maochang Town, which is famous for Maochang High School.
Arriving at the rental house, Chen Zhou simply tidied up the room and took the quilt out to dry in the sun.
Then pile all the finished review materials, papers, handouts, etc. together.
Afterwards, he went to a nearby bookstore and bought a batch of new materials and papers.
I just happened to have some red envelopes for New Year’s greetings, so I have some money on hand.
After finishing all the work, Chen Zhou looked at the time, stuffed some of the review materials for all subjects into his backpack, and went to school.
As for why he brought so many review materials, it was because the vacation was short and Chen Zhou did not bring back all the review materials in the classroom.
Some of the books here also need to be updated.
Chen Zhou walked all the way to the school gate, only to find that the snack bar was not open and there was no sign of the roadside stalls.
Considering that it’s only the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the snack vendors are probably still celebrating the New Year.
In desperation, Chen Zhou had to go to the small supermarket at the school gate to buy a bucket of instant noodles and borrow some hot water to solve his dinner problem.
Chen Zhou ate instant noodles while asking, "Boss, do you know when these restaurants open?"
"Generally speaking, it's only these two days, when the students come back, and then they'll open one after another." After the boss answered, he looked at Chen Zhou. He always felt that this young man looked a little familiar.
After thinking for a while, the boss asked, "Did you buy water from me when you signed up last year?"
Chen Zhou was stunned and nodded.
The boss asked again: "How was it, did anything happen with that girl later?"
Chen Zhou quickly finished the last two mouthfuls of instant noodles and stammered, "Huh? What... girl? Boss... you got the wrong person..."
After saying that, he packed up the instant noodle bucket and walked towards the school.
I only heard the voice of the small supermarket owner coming from behind me: "Looking at this, it's probably doomed... This guy can't even speak clearly, and he still wants to pick up girls? Humph..."
Chen Zhou staggered again and almost fell.
He couldn't help but think of summer again, and the cool Yang Yiyi...
When Chen Zhou arrived at the classroom, several classmates were already there, chatting about their winter vacation lives.
Chen Zhou said hello and returned to his seat. There was really nothing much to say about his winter vacation life.
Chen Zhou found that the desks and chairs had been cleaned. It seemed that the school had made preparations early in the morning to welcome their return.
Chen Zhou took out his review materials, replaced the old ones on his desk with new ones, and then chose a set of college entrance examination English simulation papers and started working on them.
He doesn't really want to see numbers now, and would rather look at ABC to feel more comfortable.
When we finished the first reading comprehension, Zhang Yifan also arrived, followed by Chen Haining.
Chen Zhou immediately put down his writing and looked at Chen Haining.
It seems we have something else to do?
Chen Haining immediately said warmly: "Hey, Brother Chen, you are doing the questions, Happy New Year, Happy New Year. I just don't know how to answer a few questions, they are too difficult, and I didn't know who to ask. When I saw Brother Chen, I knew there was hope..."
"Stop! Stop flattering me!" Just as Chen Zhou was about to continue asking him what he had conspired before the winter vacation, Wang Xuehui walked into the classroom.
All of a sudden, everyone in Science (1) class fell silent.
Chen Zhou had no choice but to let Chen Haining go for the time being and gave him a look that showed his understanding.
Chen Zhou looked up at Wang Xuehui who was already sitting on the podium, and thought, this winter vacation is really over, it's really a little too fast...
Chen Zhou retracted his gaze, glanced at his watch, and continued to do his English mock test. If he worked quickly, he should be able to finish it.
Zhang Yifan tilted his head to take a look at the paper Chen Zhou was working on, and seeing that it was English, he silently took out a set of English papers and started working on them.
