"Beep beep beep - Master, the upgrade of the God of Learning system is complete. This upgrade adds the function of 'comprehensive development'."

24 hours later, Ling Lingyi reported to Qiao Chu on time.

"'Well-rounded'? What does that mean?"

Ling Lingyi explained: "'Overall development' means to encourage the owner to not only learn basic subjects well, but also to work hard to develop other secondary subjects such as morality, intelligence, physical fitness, and aesthetics, or to increase his or her talents so that his or her talents can be developed in all aspects."

Qiao Chu couldn't believe it: "What! Ling Lingyi, are you kidding?"

She quickly opened the virtual screen, and sure enough, there was an "all-round development" button below "study room" and "famous teacher's classroom" on the right side of the screen.

She tapped the button and entered "Overall Development" and was surprised to find that there were many buttons inside, with "Qin", "Qi", "Shu", "Painting" written on them respectively. The most outrageous thing was that one of the buttons was actually written "Wu"!

Is this to let her learn martial arts?

Qiao Chu was about to collapse. "Ling Lingyi, you don't want me to learn all these? Aren't you studying the God System? Why do you have to learn these irrelevant things?"

"Master, I think you have misunderstood the term 'scholar god'."

"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding is there? Isn't a genius student a student who studies well and gets good grades in every exam?"

"No, no, no, Master, you are totally wrong! What you are talking about is called a nerd or a bookworm. The definition of a genius student is someone who possesses super high IQ, extraordinary talent, super strong thinking and comprehension. No matter what field, no matter what subject, no matter what kind of problem, he can handle it with ease and calmly, and achieve results that amaze everyone."

So cool...

"I'm sorry, I'm narrow-minded. No wonder he can be called a 'god'. He's too awesome! But... can I do it?"

After hearing what Ling Lingyi said, Qiao Chu lost all confidence. She was just an ordinary person. Could she really meet the requirements of the system?

"In this world, there is no distinction between being able to do something or not, only whether or not to do it! As long as you work harder and more diligently, one day, you will succeed! The God of Learning System will also always help you, don't worry!"

A surge of warmth filled Qiao Chu's heart. She felt excited and moved at the same time: "Ling Ling Yi, thank you. No matter what the reason is, thank you for finally choosing me. Really, I will do my best to achieve my goal!"

After saying that, she confidently pressed the button with the word "Qin" written on it.

"Uh, sorry, Ling Lingyi, I want to take back what I just said. I don't think I can do it. Are you sure I want to learn so much?"

She pointed to the virtual screen, and saw many buttons densely arranged on it, namely "piano", "violin", "electronic keyboard", "harp", "huqin", "erhu", "guzheng", and even "gayageum"!

Isn't the Gayageum a national instrument of Korea?

She even has to learn this?

There should be hundreds of them in total, right?

"Master, please be patient. The comprehensive development of the subjects of 'qin', 'qi', 'shu', 'painting', and 'wu' contains too many options, so you only need to choose the one that interests you the most. You don't have to learn all of them, and you don't have to learn them all at once. You can learn them one by one. First, learn 'qin' well, and then learn 'qi'."

Qiao Chu breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, I was scared to death, I thought I had to learn all of these, even the most professional musicians can't do it... By the way, can I get extra credit for the hours I spend studying these projects?"

"Of course, Master. These extracurricular projects are the same as academic projects. One point is added for every 100 hours of study. Moreover, Master, you are very lucky. If it were in ancient times, there might be projects such as horse riding and archery."

When Qiao Chu heard that he could get extra points, he instantly felt much better. "I thought I had a lot of time, but it seems that no matter how much time I have, it's not enough. No wonder you want to reward me with a time amplifier, it's all full of tricks!"

Ling Lingyi did not admit that this was a routine, and hurriedly changed the subject: "Master, if you have time to complain here, you might as well take action quickly."

Mortals like me will never be able to defeat the system, so we can only obey the system's instructions. Qiao Chu accepted his fate, "...Okay, then I'll learn the piano first. I'll choose... the piano!"

She immediately pressed the button with the word "piano" written on it. The next second, she was in a piano classroom. In the middle of the classroom stood a grand piano with a beautiful sheen on the piano body. A foreigner in his forties was standing next to it.

"Hello, my name is Yevgeny Kissin, and from today on, I will be your piano teacher."

The foreigner spoke English stiffly with a strange British accent.

However, the tone is not the point, what is important is——

"Evgeny Kissin? The world's number one pianist?"

Yevgeny Kissin is a British Jew who is known as "the most amazing piano genius of this century." He could play melodies he had heard on the piano when he was two years old, gave his first solo recital when he was in fifth grade, and has twice won the Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Solo.

Qiao Chu was simply shocked by the generosity of the system: "Ling Lingyi, you let a top-ranked pianist teach me? I can't even recognize the full musical notation now, isn't this a waste of talent? You're using a butcher knife to kill a chicken!"

"The God of Learning System must provide the master with the best in the world. If the master feels that his talents are being wasted, he should work harder to learn. This way, the system's efforts will not be in vain."

Qiao Chu nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, I will!"

“Ahem—”

At this time, Yevgeny Kissin cleared his throat and said, "Okay, let's start our first lesson. I'll teach you the musical notation..."

"Dad, I'm going out."

Two weeks have passed since the summer vacation, and Qiao Chu has stayed at home for 14 days. She studies in the system day and night. She has a heavy task now. She has to learn school knowledge and piano. Fortunately, she has a time amplifier. These 14 days are equivalent to 280 days for her. Except for the time for meals and the time when Qiao Weimin is at home, she stays in the system for the rest of the time, a total of more than 200 days. She has previewed all the courses for the second and third grades of high school, and can now play a complete song fluently from not knowing the five-line score at the beginning.

Today, she finally walked out of the house.

"Yeah, okay, be careful on the road, it's okay to hang out with your friends for a while longer, just be safe!"

Seeing that his daughter was finally willing to go out, Qiao Weimin happily gave her instructions.

Girls of this age are at the age when they love to play, so why is his girl so different?

Not at all like a fifteen-year-old...

Other parents worry that their children will play too much, but he is different. He has a daughter who only knows how to lock herself in her room to study. He is worried that this child will become stupid...

Qiao Chu went downstairs, hailed a taxi, and headed straight for the central shopping mall.

She was going to buy some things there, and by the way, she went to the Food Pedestrian Street to deliver Shen Ling's math notes. Shen Ling said that she didn't do very well in the final math exam, and wanted to borrow her math notes, so she happened to deliver them to her on the way.

As soon as he entered the pedestrian street, Qiao Chu saw a commotion in front of him from afar. A group of people gathered in a circle and no one knew what they were doing.

That seems to be Shen Ling's stall?

Qiao Chu quickly quickened his pace and squeezed into the crowd, and saw a middle-aged woman pointing at Shen Ling and cursing constantly, her voice was sharp and piercing, and the content was very unbearable.

"You stupid girl, you jinx, you want to kill your brother while I'm away, right? How can you be so vicious at such a young age? I'm so unlucky to have met someone like you! You don't have to burn your brother to death even if you don't like him. He's so young, how could you have the heart to do it? You slut, you hurt him today, are you going to kill me too tomorrow? Speak..."

Shen Ling stood beside with her head down, saying nothing, like a lifeless statue, only tears falling down. The ground at her feet was already wet. It was obvious that she had been scolded and cried for a long time.

Most of the onlookers were there to watch the fun, but there were also some enthusiastic people who couldn't stand it and spoke up to persuade them.

"Forget it, he's still a child..."

"Yes, yes, harmony brings wealth, stop cursing and get down to business..."

"Yeah, she's still young, so she probably didn't do it on purpose..."

"As for the child, she doesn't understand at all..."

People's well-intentioned consolation only fueled the woman's arrogance, like pouring fuel on a raging fire. Her anger burned even more vigorously, and her voice became louder. "Child? Can a child do whatever he wants? Isn't my Dabao a child? He is only 4 years old. Who did he offend? He was burned at such a young age. How much suffering did he have in the hot summer? Besides, she is so vicious now that she is a child. What will happen when she grows up? We don't even know how mother and child died!"

Seeing that persuasion had no effect, the onlookers kept quiet to prevent the woman from getting more aggressive.

Qiao Chu hurriedly walked forward, came to Shen Ling's side, grabbed her arm, and asked with concern: "Shen Ling, are you okay? What's wrong? What happened?"

Hearing her voice, Shen Ling raised her head. Her eyes were red and swollen, and there was a bruise on her left cheek, as if she had been pinched hard. It was already swollen, "...My brother was burned...I..."

Her voice was hoarse and she had difficulty enunciating.

The middle-aged woman who was cursing happily saw a man suddenly appear and asked fiercely, "Who are you?"

Facing the elders, Qiao Chu still smiled and replied politely: “Hello, Auntie, I am Shen Ling’s classmate, I came to see her today.”

"Ah, classmate." When the middle-aged woman heard that it was Shen Ling's classmate, she became more excited. "I advise you to stay away from this kind of person. She is very dark at such a young age. When I was not at home, she actually scalded her brother with hot water. Do you think she is extremely evil? There is no hope for her!"

Seeing the woman slandering herself in front of her friends, Shen Ling was anxious. She grabbed Qiao Chu's hand and explained anxiously: "Xiao Qiao, it's not like that. I didn't mean it... I... I didn't mean it. It was Dabao who wanted to drink water..."

The more anxious she became, the more tongue-tied she became, and she couldn't explain herself clearly. She finally had two good friends, and she really didn't want her friends to think that she was a vicious person. After experiencing the warmth of friendship, she didn't want to go back to the loneliness and desolation of being alone.

She was so anxious that tears streamed down her face and her whole body couldn't help shaking.

Seeing this, Qiao Chu gently held her hand, shook his head, and said: “Chen Ling, it’s okay, don’t worry, I believe you.”

A kind word warms you through three winter months, while an evil word hurts you through six months of summer.

After being beaten and scolded for more than an hour, these warm words made Shen Ling's tears fall again, but this time they were tears of emotion.

Perhaps this sentence gave Shen Ling courage, she finally straightened her back, turned around and faced the woman who was still cursing, "It's not me! It was Dabao who wanted to drink water, I poured it for him, he came over and bumped into me, and was accidentally scalded by the water, I was also injured, and my injury was more serious!"

She spoke quickly and fluently, and then pointed to her arm, where there was a large red mark. It was particularly obvious on her pale and thin arm and looked somewhat shocking.

The middle-aged woman was stunned at first, and then she exploded as if she was ignited. She screamed, "You stupid girl! How dare you quibble! You are so young and don't learn well. Who did you learn these evil ways from? And you put the blame on Dabao! Could it be that Dabao burned himself? He is only four years old! Look at me... Look, I will beat you to death. If I don't beat you to death, I will no longer be named Li today!"

Her face, which had originally been pretty, was now distorted by anger, making her look like a murderous ghost. She picked up the big broom used for cleaning on the roadside and swung it fiercely at Shen Ling.

The onlookers didn't expect that she would start fighting while she was talking, so they all fled in all directions, fearing that they would be hurt by mistake.

Qiao Chu pulled Shen Ling to avoid her broom, but she didn't expect that she was still unwilling to give up, and chased the two of them with a big broom.

The two of them could only dodge in embarrassment. Qiao Chu tried to reason with them while dodging, "Auntie, please calm down first. We can talk it over..."

In response to her was a broom coming towards her, and Shen Ling quickly stood in front of her when she saw this.

"careful--"

The two of them were unable to dodge and could only shrink their bodies and close their eyes...

After waiting for a long time, the expected broom did not fall, Qiao Chu opened his eyes in confusion.

Oh, another acquaintance.

It was Jiang Yuzhou, with a sunny and handsome face and familiar dimples. He smiled at Qiao Chu as a greeting, still holding the end of the broom in his hand, and was in a stalemate with the middle-aged woman.

I don’t know if you have ever had the feeling that if you don’t know someone, you won’t meet him. Once you know each other, you will always meet this person over and over again for a period of time.

Qiao Chu has this feeling now.

Why is it Senior Jiang again?

However, now is not the time to think about these messes. Jiang Yuzhou exerted force on his hand, snatched the broom from the middle-aged woman, and threw it to the ground, saying seriously: "Auntie, it's not good for you to treat two powerless little girls like this? Abusing minors will lead to jail time. How about we go to the police station and talk to them?"

"I……"

This was also a person who bullied the weak and feared the strong. Shocked by Jiang Yuzhou's words and his tall figure, the middle-aged woman turned back to the store. Before disappearing, she was still unwilling to curse at the door of the store, "Don't let me catch you again..."

Seeing the woman leave, Jiang Yuzhou put away his threatening expression, smiled widely, and asked with concern: "Are you all right? What a coincidence, hardworking junior sister, we meet again."

Only then did Qiao Chu notice that he was holding a basketball in his left hand. The plastic packaging around the basketball had not been opened yet, so it must have been newly bought. Thinking of the large sporting goods store nearby, which was the direction he had just come from...

You can even meet him while shopping.

Qiao Chu also smiled and said, "Thank you, Senior Jiang. I came here to buy some things today and visit my classmates."

As he said that, he pointed to Shen Ling next to him and introduced them to each other: "Shen Ling, this is our senior from the second year of high school, Jiang Yuzhou. Senior Jiang, this is my friend, also a student from our first year of high school, named Shen Ling."

Jiang Yuzhou smiled and greeted Shen Ling cheerfully: "Another junior high school girl is here. Hello, I'm Jiang Yuzhou."

Shen Ling wiped the remaining tears on her face and whispered, “Hello, senior, my name is Shen Ling.”

Her voice was as low as a mosquito's, and you couldn't hear it unless you listened carefully.

Jiang Yuzhou didn't care. He turned to Qiao Chu and said, "It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. Today is the perfect day. I just finished shopping. Are you all okay? I'll treat you to some juice. I've said it twice. I must keep my word today!"

Qiao Chu thought about it and realized that there was nothing important today, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll treat you. Thank you for helping us out just now, senior."

Jiang Yuzhou shook his head vigorously, "How can this be possible? How can you let a girl pay for you? Let's go, I promised you that it's my treat, so don't be polite."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out first.

"I...I won't go..."

Shen Ling said hesitantly, "I still have to watch the stall..."

Jiang Yuzhou turned around and raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Looking at the stall?"

He looked at the stinky tofu stand next to him and nodded in understanding, "It's okay, I'll be back soon, it won't take long."

Shen Ling still shook her head, "Senior Jiang and Qiao Chu go, I'll go back first..."

At this time, the middle-aged woman poked her head out of the store door and shouted, "You little bitch, come back to work!"

“Shen Ling…”

Qiao Chu looked at her worriedly, Shen Ling lowered her head in embarrassment, and in the end, neither of them spoke.

well--

Looking at Shen Ling’s back, Qiao Chu sighed lightly.

Every family has its own problems...

"Go away, don't stand there!"

Finally, Qiao Chu and Jiang Yuzhou came to a coffee shop next to the central square. They each ordered a glass of orange juice, and Jiang Yuzhou also asked for a piece of tiramisu and a piece of strawberry vanilla cake.

He placed the tiramisu and cake in front of Qiao Chu and said, "Eat it. Don't you girls like to eat these?"

Indeed, the desserts made by this coffee shop look beautiful and pleasing, and they smell sweet. Qiao Chu couldn't help but scoop a mouthful with a spoon and put it in her mouth. A mellow milky smell immediately spread out. She squinted her eyes in enjoyment, "It's so delicious!"

Jiang Yuzhou laughed and said generously: "If it tastes good, eat more. If it's not enough, order more. Today is my senior's treat, so don't be polite to me!"

Qiao Chu nodded: "Well, thank you, Senior Jiang."

Then, the two of them started chatting while drinking juice.

"So, you plan to study science when you're a sophomore?"

"Yes, I feel that science is more interesting, there are many things to think about, it is more challenging, and I am personally more interested in it."

"Yes, yes, you are right..."

Jiang Yuzhou was kind and cheerful, so there was no pressure chatting with him. He was also her senior, so he could give her some advice. Qiao Chu had a very pleasant chat with him...
