The description of that room is simple, so you don't need to look at it again.

What Chen Cui wanted to see was of course the increase in the speed of time flow at the end.

There are many rules and regulations to follow in order for this precious thing to be effective. When the system pushed the message to her, it was simply treating it as a carrot dangling in front of Shen Cui. There are also some hidden regulations——

Not to mention the above, this gain also requires everyone in the academy to be highly mentally focused. If one person is absent, the whole academy will be ineffective. Anyone from the academy can be absent, except Shen Cui, the principal, who must be within ten meters of the academy.

You have to know that as a human being, you need to rest, and it is impossible to keep your mind tense all the time.

Lao Buyu and the others are better off. They have become accustomed to this kind of self-discipline and high-intensity study life. They have good self-control and are more focused than others.

But Chen Cui herself was a master at slacking off. In the past, she could enjoy the refreshing atmosphere of the academy every day while leisurely wandering around. From now on, she would never have that kind of good time of stealing half a day of leisure.

As the head of the school, she also has to stand up!

Of course, the system is also "considerate". Can't the things produced in the front be used by the training subjects? Products that improve attention can be used by everyone in the academy. By spending some money at shopping spots and buying some props, everyone's attention span will be greatly extended.

Also, the validity period is three years, but it is not calculated from the beginning of use. Instead, the count starts now and ends in August three years later.

If it fails for some reason, it will not be like the online game acceleration package you buy in later generations, which can be retained for you after disconnection. If it fails once, you have to open it again the next day. No make-up after the day's time.

Chen Cui silently rolled her eyes in her heart. If this bonus wasn't really an incredible treasure and she wasn't lucky enough to get this reward, she would have to argue with the system again.

Chen Cui lay down for a while, and when she recovered her strength, she simply got up and went to the academy to try out the time gain.

It's not that after two days of hard work, Chen Cui still wanted to force Lao Buyu and the two children to study hard as if the remaining half day was a whole day.

But since I won’t use it today anyway, and it’s one less day, I might as well use today to try out this new feature.

She arrived at the entrance of the academy and confirmed the use. The time buff took effect immediately. In the academy interface, each Q-version character had another health bar called concentration value in addition to the original mood value and physical fitness value.

It goes without saying that if the concentration value falls below the passing line, the time gain will immediately become invalid and the flow of time will return to normal.

As a handyman, Zhou was sweeping the academy at this time. She was very careful in her daily work, and although the tasks were simple and easy to do, she was really focused. When she finished the work in her hands, she did not stop, but hurried home to wash, mend and sew.

This is also good, there is no need to worry about the gain being ineffective because of Zhou.

What surprised Chen Cui was that after being busy for two days in a row, Lao Buyu and the two children were now completely focused and were sitting together talking about something.

Both of them are paying so much attention. Could it be that the system is more lenient in this regard?

Thinking of this, Shen Cui stepped into the academy, and her Q version figure appeared on the academy interface on the screen.

Well... there was nothing wrong with the system. Her concentration value was just slightly higher than the passing line.

Shen Cui quickly focused her attention on what they were saying, and only then did she stabilize her concentration level and stop it from dropping further.

After hearing this, Shen Cui realized that the three of them, teacher and student, were still feeling sorry for Zhang Sheng, thinking that it was because of their own lack of strength that the young man who was favored by the old headmaster had to withdraw from the competition.

Now that the matter is settled, it is too late to regret. I can only think about working harder and developing Cuiwei Academy. This way, I will definitely not hold Zhang Sheng back in the next competition.

Moreover, if one day Cuiwei Academy becomes as famous as Hongle Academy, then Zhang Sheng, as a member of the academy, others will no longer ignore his talent just because he has a disability.

What they said before made Shen Cui feel quite happy. 500 shopping points made a dummy. Not only did their own academy achieve good results, but it also invisibly urged everyone to make progress.

But after hearing the last part, she found something wrong - why were these three people secretly treating 'Zhang Sheng' as an official member of the academy?

Lao Buyu was not frank when they were talking, and when he saw her coming, he invited her in.

The topic thus revolved around "Zhang Sheng". After all, Lao Buyu and the others didn't know where the young man had settled, what his family situation was like, or whether he was willing to stay in Shuiyun Village.

Wei Xi said, "If Brother Zhang is willing to stay with us, I can pay for the money."

Lao Buyu even said, "As a teacher, I should set an example. I will be responsible for his tuition and living expenses."

Shen Cui was forced to say, "It just so happens that I haven't seen him for two days. I will go find him tomorrow and ask him in detail."

Seeing that the three of them were eager to try after hearing this, Shen Cui immediately added: "He is an open-minded and likable person, but actually... he is still a little shy. Only I get along with him, and he and I can chat... and use gestures."

This is indeed true. For two consecutive days, Zhang Sheng left right after the competition without any reluctance to leave. If it happened to someone else, people would think that he was arrogant and difficult to make friends with. But if it happened to him, people would not think so. They would just think that he was probably really shy. Therefore, Lao Buyu and the others never mentioned going with Chen Cui again.

Later they started the class as normal, and Shen Cui followed her usual schedule. She should have gone to lie on the recliner outside, but didn't she dare to be distracted? You have to stand up and find something to do.

Although the main room is spacious, there is not much space left after placing four desks.

Wei Shu was a very particular person, and it was not appropriate for Chen Cui to touch his things without permission. In the end, Wei Xi saw that she seemed to want to stay in the room to listen to the lecture, so he gave him his desk, and he used his eldest brother's. Wei Shu would not bother with such a trivial matter.

After Shen Cui sat down, Lao Buyu began to lecture. Didn’t he just finish the academy competition? He also gained a lot. Just looking at the large calligraphy of several outstanding students today made him deeply moved.

Lao Buyu usually speaks in a very colloquial manner, but when it comes to teaching, he is like a completely different person. He quotes from classics and talks eloquently, showing off his literary talent.

But these flowery words, to Shen Cui, who had been exhausted for two consecutive days, had the same effect as a lullaby played by the system. Soon, her eyelids felt heavy and her concentration level plummeted.

At this time, the system sneakily sent her a pop-up window again, pushing props that could increase her attention.

Shen Cui waved her hand to close the pop-up window, pinched herself hard to wake herself up, then took the copybook on Wei Xi's desk and started practicing calligraphy.

You won’t feel sleepy while learning to write, right?

In the future, 'Zhang Sheng' will definitely not appear often. He has been 'schizophrenic' for a long time. Not only the shopping mall can't bear such expenses, but Chen Cui's body can't bear it either. But the old headmaster was very kind to him, and Lao Buyu and the others really admired him. They could not have real contact with each other, but they could keep in touch with each other through letters.

By then, I can also use the identity of "Mr. Zhang" to get some mathematical information for exchange and help the two children in this regard.

After this practice, Shen Cui felt that her mind was clearer in the academy than in other places. But when she really worked hard, she realized how precious this "clearness" was.

She had secretly written several times in her room before, but her hands were too clumsy. She didn't know whether it was because she had poor talent or because of her original body, but the handwriting was really terrible.

I was practicing in the academy today, and I had a mysterious feeling. I am still as ugly as before, but I can feel the subtle progress.

After Shen Cui finished writing one page, she saw that no one was paying attention, so she folded the page and switched to writing with her left hand - she needed two handwritings.

Lao Buyu and the others were in the same room with her, so they naturally noticed that she was hiding her handwriting intentionally or unintentionally, sometimes using her right hand and sometimes using her left hand. The teacher and the students looked at each other tacitly, and they all thought that she was probably just learning to write, her handwriting was ugly, and she was afraid of losing face. So they didn't say anything and deliberately avoided watching her practice calligraphy.

Seeing that they were not paying attention to her, Chen Cui no longer cared about anything. She only glanced at everyone's concentration value on the light screen from time to time, and spent the rest of the time practicing calligraphy.

Half an afternoon passed, and everyone studied very seriously. Even during the break, everyone's concentration dropped slightly for a while, but it did not fall below the passing line.

As it was getting dark, Mu Erpang's stomach began to growl.

Although no one was around, Mu Erpang still blushed and muttered, "How strange! I ate a lot at noon, and I was thinking of eating less at night, but I didn't expect that I'm so hungry again in the afternoon."

"It's a bit strange. Today I drank more tea than usual. Usually I only drink two cups of tea in the afternoon, but today I drank almost four cups." Lao Buyu said.

This is natural, because time flows slowly in the academy. Although only two hours have passed outside, four hours have actually passed in the academy.

If everyone hadn't eaten a lot at noon, we would have been starving.

The output of the system is indeed amazing. It is said that no one would notice it. No one noticed anything wrong for the whole afternoon. Even the homemade sundial used for simple timekeeping in the academy was affected.

This gave Chen Cui a reminder that she should go to the city to look for Zhang Sheng tomorrow and buy some easy-to-store peach cakes, sesame cakes and other things to put in the academy to feed everyone.

"Teacher, please don't give Erpang a lecture anymore. Let's all rest tonight." Seeing that everyone was tired after two days of busy work, Shen Cui immediately turned off the time gain. No matter how good something is, it is certainly not as important as everyone’s health.

Soon Zhou came over with a lunch box. Thinking that everyone except Chen Cui had eaten a lot at noon, Zhou prepared a lighter and simpler dinner than usual.

Four side dishes were served with thick white porridge, but she didn't expect that everyone in the academy was starving. There was a big pot of porridge, and Shen Cui and the others scraped the bottom of the pot clean before they put down their chopsticks.

"Use your brain. You'll get hungry fast." Shen Cui explained briefly.

When it was time to rest at night, Chen Cui went home and kept rubbing her sore wrists - although she had studied hard for three months before, that was only in a simulated scenario in her mind, and she had never tried writing for such a long time with a real knife.

When Zhou saw it, she offered to massage it for her.

"What did you do this afternoon? Your meridians are all blocked." Zhou spoke softly while gently massaging her. She acted as both a father and a mother to her younger brother, and she has a lot of experience in taking care of people.

Shen Cui said it was nothing, "I was just learning to read and practicing calligraphy."

She said she didn't care one moment, but the next moment she was grimacing because Zhou rubbed her.

As the daughter-in-law, Zhou couldn't laugh at her mother-in-law, so she pursed her lips and tried to hold back her smile, "You're not going to take the imperial examination to become an official, so why are you still working so hard?"

"Well, this has nothing to do with whether or not to take the imperial examination." Shen Cui thought for a while and said, "Er Pang is becoming more and more educated and his horizons are becoming more and more broad. I know he won't despise me. If others dare to laugh at his mother's lack of education, he will be the first to get angry with them. However, I am afraid that one day, what he is thinking about and worrying about is something I don't understand at all. I can't help him and can only worry. For this reason, I also think I should learn."

At this point, she paused, and then continued, "Moreover, learning knowledge is not just for others, it is also beneficial to yourself. I won't talk about the great principles that reading makes people wise and intelligent. Let's say you help others with washing and mending, then at most you can only earn a few dozen coins a day, right? But if you learn a little, you don't have to be too good, as long as you can write well, help others write letters, go to the study to copy books, how can you earn more than selling your physical labor, right?"

Shen Cui said as she carefully observed Zhou's reaction.

During this period of time, she had mentioned to Zhou intentionally or unintentionally that she could go and listen to Lao Buyu's lectures when she had time.

But Zhou really treats herself like an iron man and she never gives herself any free time!

Shen Cui did not have any ill feelings towards her and still hoped that she would be better. After all, in the plot of the original book, Zhou, the first wife, did not have many roles to begin with. When Mu Yunchuan became successful and no longer needed her to help with the household expenses, Zhou became even more invisible.

The scenes related to Zhou must be about her being tortured by her original evil mother-in-law, and then she endures it bitterly, in order to highlight the abominable and hateful stepmother Shen. And because she had damaged her health in her early years, Zhou died earlier than her original self!

Shen Cui didn't take advantage of her by keeping her by her side to do the work. She could always see through her physical condition and wouldn't let her develop any illness that would shorten her lifespan. But the rest was up to her.

Zhou lowered her eyes, as if thinking about something, and it was unknown how much she had heard.
