Chapter 17 The Nanny's Niece's Counterattack
There was no way I could afford not to take it seriously. I was so busy with the competition that I didn't notice how much time was passing. By the time I realized it, there were only five days left until the midterm exams.
To expect her to finish all six subjects of the first year of high school in just five days? Wasn't that going to kill her? Yes, finish them. She had been studying all this time recently, and it was a course that would last for a year or three years. Yet, Lin Wei hadn't noticed any difference in her thinking.
She could have just studied half a semester's worth of courses to pass the exam, but instead she's thinking of finishing the entire semester's material without even realizing what's wrong with her. She's really lost her mind in this competition.
Once inside the system space, she immediately set the time lock to the maximum limit she could set without hesitation.
At this moment, Lin Wei couldn't help but sigh, "If only I had a home in S City, I could sleep from eight o'clock at night until nine or ten o'clock the next morning. How many more years would that save?" Unlike now, she clearly has treasures to use, but she has to be frugal. At this moment, she is not afraid of studying anymore. Instead, she feels that time is not needed and wishes she could have more.
This is probably the mentality of a student who is publicly executed and desperately tries to learn something new before their death.
Lin Wei refocused her attention on today's lesson, which was still Chinese. Compared to other subjects, Chinese was clearly more difficult. She had originally planned to study Chinese before participating in the physics competition, and this was simply a continuation of that plan.
She looked at the classical Chinese texts before her, took a deep breath, and began to study diligently, ceasing her complaints about the trivialities. Compared to ordinary people, she was already much luckier; otherwise, how would she have qualified to participate in that level of physics competition?
While learning classical Chinese can be tedious at first, that's only true when you know nothing at all. Once you get a little bit of a grasp of it, it starts to become quite interesting.
Especially when mocking someone, using language that others can't understand to insult them is like a dimensional reduction attack. It can both show off and mock someone for being illiterate. Lin Wei felt that she might use this kind of content in the future.
Of course, the more she studied, the more she could feel the charm of classical Chinese. If at first she only wanted to learn it for the sake of grades, now she had truly fallen in love with the language.
That profound cultural heritage seems to transport one back to that era, allowing one to witness the distant past. One can almost look directly at those kings, generals, poets, and literary giants.
Perhaps influenced by the refined and scholarly atmosphere, Lin Wei has become more reserved and elegant. If she were to go out at this time, people would definitely be drawn to her.
That's the charm that charisma gives people.
However, she was unaware of this at the time, still immersed in the ocean of knowledge. Compared to before when she was completely ignorant and could only guess, she could now speak a lot of classical Chinese.
Contrary to expectations, she didn't learn the meaning of words first and then start forming words. Instead, she gradually developed a sense of language by listening to, reading, and speaking a lot.
She spoke these words without thinking, just blurting them out, much like how she spoke English later on.
As a result, Lin Wei became even more enthusiastic.
A year has passed, and she can read some simple classical Chinese.
Two years have passed, and she can now have conversations with those lifelike ancient figures without any problems.
Three years have passed, and she has almost figured out those profound words. Lin Wei can now freely translate between plain language and classical Chinese.
In the system space, she looked at the new question and immediately understood the meaning of the classical Chinese text. She even translated it into plain language with some interest. The joy of learning new knowledge made her feel good all day.
She also discovered something particularly interesting: once you learn to communicate in classical Chinese, memorizing the classical Chinese texts in textbooks becomes much easier.
"This is an unexpected surprise," Lin Wei pondered. "But then again, all knowledge is interconnected under certain circumstances, so it's normal to learn the same things." Not to mention, she had only memorized a slightly simpler version.
This brings us to physics. Although both courses cover mechanics, university physics and high school physics are on completely different levels. While there may be some commonalities in the content, the depth of the material is entirely different.
Memorizing classical Chinese texts is considered to have a relatively minor impact.
After leaving the system space, Lin Wei looked at the classical Chinese texts and poems that had previously stumped her. What used to take five hours to memorize now only took two, which she was quite satisfied with. Although she still couldn't compare to people with naturally good memories, it was a huge improvement for her at this point.
It's always better for people to learn to be content.
As long as you can memorize it in the end, the process doesn't matter, although that process can be quite torturous.
Since Zhou Xueqing almost couldn't wake her up last time, she specifically instructed that she not to be woken up today, so there was no one in the dormitory at this time.
Lin Wei washed her face at the sink first, and then noticed the change in herself. Was she always this refined?
Although she usually puts on a show in front of outsiders, Lin Wei knows what she's really like inside. Right now, she could easily be mistaken for a pure, gentle, innocent girl.
She has a bit of the delicate beauty Xi Shi in her eyes.
Fearing that the change would be too drastic and attract attention, Lin Wei rubbed her face vigorously, and finally returned to her original appearance after half an hour.
"Indeed, such a drastic change isn't a good thing." Who would have thought that learning could drastically alter one's demeanor? That scholarly air about him is something no one would believe comes from a cultured family.
Because she was in a hurry, she entered the system space again after finishing her meal. This time, however, she didn't set a timer. From the outside, she appeared to be sitting at her desk reading. Two days passed just like that. In those two days, Lin Wei had spent over ten years in the system space. However, because there was no concept of time in the system space, and she had only learned the same knowledge, she didn't forget anyone even after leaving.
On the contrary, my memory has improved.
"I've already mastered the classical Chinese section, reading comprehension, and composition. I'm basically fine with Chinese now. As for how many points I'll get, that's up to fate." After all, composition is a bit too unpredictable and subjective.
However, time was still too tight. Lin Wei hadn't expected that just Chinese would take her two days to study, and she still had five other subjects to complete. She had a feeling that she might not be able to finish this time.
Indeed, she spent one day studying chemistry, one day studying biology, and another day studying history, politics, and geography, while also squeezing in some time to review other books. When the midterm exams began, she knew she was doomed. The other subjects were alright, but history, politics, and geography—one day simply wasn't enough!
Lin Wei could imagine the looks her teachers and classmates would give her when the results came out. Was her academic star status only going to last until today? Because of this, she felt a little down on the day of the exam.
It's over, it's over, it's really over now.
Hearing Zhou Xueqing say that Lin Wei should do well on the exam this time, and with everyone around her agreeing, Lin Wei felt like crying.
No way! Can't people even do poorly on tests? She'd rather they weren't so confident in her, but the group didn't seem to feel any pressure at all, and were even praising her. Even Zhang Mo came over and asked, "Are you confident?"
Lin Wei twitched the corner of her mouth. "If I said I wasn't sure, would you believe me?"
Zhang Mo: "Are you serious?" It wasn't that he didn't want to believe her, but miracles always seemed to happen with her, to the point that he was a little skeptical of her words. She had said the same thing during the physics competition, but what was the result? She was the one who always came up wrong.
Lin Wei knew this was how it was.
On the day of the midterm exam, she finished the first six subjects steadily and without much pause. Finally, she got to the three subjects she feared the most: politics, geography, and history.
