In her previous life, Song Yu was a top actress, popular across the land, but ultimately, due to the intense competition ("involution"), she overexerted herself and dropped dead on the red ...
In Class 5's classroom, a female teacher with curly hair and glasses stood at the podium, holding a booklet titled "Common Exotic Animal Species in Wilderness Areas". She was teaching the students below with a serious face about the characteristics of plant-based exotic animals and basic breeding experience.
"Most plant-based beasts are like ordinary plants. They need sunlight, warmth, and water... They also take root in the soil, absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen."
"These kinds of beasts are usually quite docile, especially in the wilderness forests and secret realms, where the danger level is only one star. 90% of the plant-based beasts there are level 0. Therefore, they generally won't attack... unless one of you is carrying something delicious, like rare treasures. Otherwise, even if you step on their branches, they often won't bother to move."
"But you students, when you return to the wilderness forest, please do not deliberately trample on the fruits, or pick one to taste if you see one is beautiful."
The cultural teacher, red chalk in hand, wrote furiously on the black pen, grumbling, "If they counterattack and beat you, or if you're poisoned to death, don't say I taught your exotic beast class!"
"For example, let's take the Level 0 Black Umbrella Cockscomb Beasts, which we'll discuss on Page 72. They're a plant-based beast, similar to the mushrooms on Blue Planet. If you encounter one in the wild, the most important thing to do is avoid it... because if you step on one, you'll be surrounded, and they'll desperately release spores, using them to absorb your vitality..."
The teacher of the cultural course was speaking seriously at the podium, and the students below were taking notes and nodding seriously from time to time.
Like high school students on Earth, high school students on Blue Star also need to study Chinese, mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology.
In particular, the history of Blue Star and the geographical map of Blue Star, which is updated at all times every year due to the fusion of the Secret Realm of the Rift and Blue Star, are the focus of students' learning.
However, classes like English, politics, art, music, etc. have been completely replaced by physical education classes and courses related to exotic beasts.
Even the two evening self-study sessions on Earth have evolved into two exotic beast-related courses + one evening self-study session.
In this situation, high school students not only do not reject evening self-study, but even look forward to it every day.
Song Yu sat in her seat, her chin propped up by her left hand, her face serious and solemn. Her eyes narrowed slightly, her brow furrowed, as if she had been immersed in an ocean of knowledge, listening carefully to every word the cultural teacher said. Occasionally, when the cultural teacher raised his voice to say an important point, she would nod from time to time to respond to the teacher.
However……
Faced with Song Yu who seemed to be studying seriously, her deskmate Zhou Ting couldn't help but frown.
She looked up at Song Yu, who nodded again with a serious expression, then looked down at the "Common Species of Exotic Animals in the Wilderness" placed on the table by him, and the words clearly written on the page - P1.
Zhou Ting had no expression on her face: "..."
This time Zhou Ting was 100% sure that her deskmate really had the ability to sleep with his eyes open!
Looking back, a full week has passed since the initial distribution of the exotic beasts.
But the other party's book "Common Species of Exotic Animals in the Wilderness" was always open to page 1.
Zhou Ting's eyelids twitched.
Wow! Others can read a page of a book in a day, but I didn’t expect her deskmate to read it for a week.
Zhou Ting was heartbroken. Even if the level of your beast-taming space is low and the initial qualifications of the exotic beasts are poor, you, Song Yu, can't give up on yourself, right?
Even if I really give up on myself, it's been a week now, so I should at least study hard, right?
Most importantly, Zhou Ting discovered that apart from her, no one in the class seemed to know that Song Yu slept with his eyes open. There were even two instances where the cultural teacher praised Song Yu for his attentive listening after class.
Zhou Ting: “…”
Zhou Ting: I have a lot to complain about, but I don’t know what to say for the moment.
Zhou Ting even began to suspect that Song Yu ate in class on the day when the initial exotic beasts were distributed, not because of low blood sugar, but because he was greedy.
I can't let my deskmate go on like this. She is pretty, comes from a good family, and speaks nicely. She should study harder and try to get into a good university next year!
then……
Zhou Ting reached out and grabbed Song Yu's right hand and shook it wildly at the moment when the cultural teacher turned his back and wrote on the blackboard.
Zhou Ting was so disappointed: "Wake up, wake up! How can you sleep in class?!"
Zhou Ting: "What if you encounter danger in the wilderness? Wake up and listen to the class!"
Song Yu was shaken awake. As soon as he opened his eyes, his body moved much faster than his brain's reaction speed.
Before she could even think clearly about what Zhou Ting was saying, her mouth had already started talking for her, "I didn't sleep~"
Song Yu had just woken up from a dream, and her voice was still a little hoarse. But after she reacted, she immediately straightened her face, lowered her voice cautiously, and said seriously: "I was just a little tired and distracted just now. I still had my eyes open. How can you say I slept in class?"
...No way?
Even after being discovered, he still refuses to admit it?
Zhou Ting was heartbroken and pointed at Song Yu's textbook, saying, "It's been a week since class started, and look at your textbook. It's spotless, not even a single note. Teacher Liu is already on page 72, and you're still on page 1! Aren't you still sleeping?"
Song Yu froze, not expecting that he would be exposed here.
She said that ever since she acquired the innate ability of "peak acting," as long as she was willing to perform, her acting skills would be boosted by 300%, and others would be unable to detect any flaws in her performance. After acquiring this skill, she even learned to sleep with her eyes open!
However……
It is impossible to admit it. Song Yu would never admit that he slept in class.
At least before she became financially independent, she had to pretend to be a good child in front of Song's father and mother.
then.
Song Yu's eyes flickered open and closed, her emotions already brewing. She tilted her head slightly, leaving Zhou Ting with a slightly blushing face, and said guiltily, "No, no... Actually, I've been looking at page 1 these days because I haven't remembered it after several days..."
"Besides, who would sleep with their eyes open, right?"
"The main thing is that this book, 'Species of Common Exotic Animals in the Wilderness', is so important. I want to memorize everything in it."
Song Yu was sad: "But I've been memorizing for several lessons, and I still can't recite the first page... Speaking of which, my memory used to be pretty good, at least at the level of a normal person, but since I had a high fever for several consecutive months last month, my mind has often been foggy..."
Song Yu feigned dejection, his face filled with grief and despair. "Zhou Ting, what's wrong with me? And these days, I feel like I've forgotten a lot of things every day when I go to and from school. Even when I see my classmates, I don't remember their identities the first time. I'm a bit slower than usual."
The girl has delicate features, soft cheeks and slightly curly hair. She looks sad, frowned, and dejected...
Zhou Ting immediately recalled the heartache and regret she felt when she was a child listening to her parents talk about Snow White eating the poisoned apple.
Zhou Ting: “???”
No, it shouldn't be! Why do I feel this way?
Most importantly, who would believe this nonsense?
How is it possible that someone can read Yi Ye Shu for a week and still not remember it??!
But Zhou Ting's mouth had its own thoughts, and it spoke like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube, expressing another voice in Zhou Ting's heart.
"This book, 'Common Exotic Animal Species in the Wild Area,' is indeed quite long, and it's not easy to memorize..."
"But from my perspective, your condition is likely due to cognitive impairment and memory loss caused by mental trauma."
Zhou Ting's tone was serious and earnest as she suggested, "When you encounter something like this, you must stay physically and mentally happy. Exercise more often, go to bed early and get up early to strengthen your physique. Only when you reduce the psychological pressure and completely let go can you truly solve this problem."
Oh, as expected...
Or maybe her deskmate has been under too much pressure over the years.
The other party is from a wealthy family and seems to live a very comfortable and wealthy life on a daily basis, but the pressure is not something that ordinary people can bear.
Children from ordinary families have a low level of beast-taming space, so at most they will become ordinary people like their parents.
But for children from wealthy families, especially those like the Song family where their grandparents, parents and elders are all professional beastmasters, the pressure would be even greater.
Oh, she forgot, there is also that damn Zhou Wenchang, a bastard who dared not continue to live in the first-level main city and only dared to run wild in their third-level city.
Zhou Ting suddenly paused, thinking of the upcoming physical education class.
Zhou Ting patted Song Yu on the shoulder and encouraged him, "Song Yu, I remember that you always ranked in the top five in the class in physical fitness tests. The next class is a physical fitness competition class. I remember that our class will be competing against Class 2 and Class 3... Then you must beat Zhou Wenchang black and blue!"
Song Yu stiffened: "......?"
Was it the Zhou Wenchang she had heard about? The original body's former wealthy boyfriend?
"I heard a few days ago that the other party contracted a high-quality exotic beast with a rating of 91, and they are very proud of it. We must crush their spirit in the battle class!" Zhou Ting gritted her teeth and encouraged Song Yu: "We can't compete with the other party with our contracted beasts, so if we want revenge, physical training is definitely the best choice! When the time comes, you must do your best to break two of his ribs and let him know that we women are not to be trifled with!"
“Cough cough…cough cough cough!”
Song Yu widened her eyes and almost choked to death on her saliva. She pounded her chest hard, trying to ease the shock brought to her by this explosive news.
What do you mean by breaking two ribs? Wasn't it her who broke two ribs?
Although she now has healing beasts to help recover from her injuries, it still hurts... Besides, as a "Three Good Youths of Peaceful Earth", although she has filmed fighting scenes, those were all rehearsed in advance, and she has never actually fought against anyone.
Zhou Ting had no idea what Song Yu was thinking at the moment. Instead, she patted Song Yu's shoulder and encouraged him, "Don't be afraid, Song Yu! Even though that pretty boy was number one in Class 2's physical training last semester, our school isn't the No. 6 Middle School next door, where we have elite and regular classes... So his strength is about the same as Zheng Qin, the number one student in our class. I remember you and Zheng Qin had a pretty good fight at the end of last semester!"
Zhou Ting: "He bullied you, so you can't let him get away with it. Next class I'll suggest to the teacher that you two be put in the same group!"
“???” Song Yu’s expression froze and he was dumbfounded.
No, no, how could it be like this?
