Two eggs... I need help! What do I do with a host who has no ambition? I'm waiting online, it's urgent.
Before Shuangdan could come up with a better reason to persuade them, they heard their host snoring softly. Well, this guy really is just a lazy bum who doesn't care much about anything except food.
Shuangdan's cat-like face was serious and earnest as he looked at the boy sitting opposite him, as if he were waiting for a very important answer.
Sun Kaicheng flipped through the pages of the book in his hand: "These are your host's thoughts. Why do you want to change them? Everyone has their own goals in life. You can't force others to change according to your ideas."
"But my host clearly has such good conditions, why doesn't he work hard?" This is what it doesn't understand. In their interstellar space, everyone is born eager to make every second count in strengthening themselves, because if they don't strengthen themselves, they will lose their lives at any time.
"Then why does she have to try so hard?"
What a question! But thinking about it, it's true. Even if its host doesn't work so hard, it won't easily lose its life. This is a very peaceful world.
Shuangdan was unconvinced and after thinking for a long time, she finally managed to say, "But you've been working really hard."
"That's because I like it. You're forcing someone who doesn't like it to like something they hate. Isn't that asking the impossible?"
Double Egg raised its paw and scratched the cat's head: "Okay, I'll respect my host's own wishes. I just want my host to be more powerful."
"If you think your host isn't powerful enough, why don't you leave her and come over to me?" Sun Kaicheng asked without even looking up, as if he already knew the answer.
The two-egg-shaped little head shook rapidly: "I will never abandon my host. Can I have the malted milk powder you promised?" It would never be a system that betrays its master.
Seeing that Sun Kaicheng drank malted milk powder every day to nourish his body, Shuangdan thought of getting a can for its host as well. This was the reward it wanted for helping Sun Kaicheng answer the question.
"It's already inside your protective enclosure."
Perhaps because his soul returned through that place, he can now freely enter and exit it. However, he still has basic morals; once that place is lent out, it is lent out, and he will not enter or exit without the owner's permission.
"Then I'll be going now," Shuangdan said, and then disappeared.
Sun Kaicheng put down the book in his hand and flashed out of the space. It was about time for him to take the drug to activate his superpowers. Otherwise, with his small body, he wouldn't be able to do scientific research or even normal work.
When Shuangdan saw the large jar of malted milk powder in the borrowed space, it was overjoyed. It was about to tell its host that what it had earned for the host this time was nutritional supplements, something the host had definitely never tasted before.
For the rest of the winter, Qian Xiao spent her days reading all the elementary school textbooks and occasionally went to her space at night to cook on a makeshift stove she had built herself.
That's the good thing about this space; food can be kept for ten or eight years without spoiling. But if you wait until a famine to cook, it's too late. By then, you might already be in high school, which wouldn't be convenient.
It's better to make some every now and then and store them, then sneak out to eat them when you want.
...
"Huh? What did you say?" Old Man Qian wondered if his ears were broken.
Look at what he heard! His own granddaughter, a child who has only been in school for a few months, actually wants to go straight to fifth grade and take the junior high school entrance exam with him in a few months. What a joke!
Qian Xiao looked helpless: "Grandpa, how old are you? Why are you hard of hearing? I said I want to go straight to fifth grade when school starts."
"No way, how long have you been in school? How can you expect to become an expert overnight?"
"I haven't been idle in winter. I've already studied all the elementary school books on my own. I can go to the principal and have him test me. If I pass, I can go straight to fifth grade and save a lot of tuition fees."
If she doesn't seize the time, she'll never have the chance to become a college student again. Back then, college students were incredibly prestigious. It would also be easier for her to find an office job when she gets back. She doesn't want to work in a factory; that's too tiring. She'd rather stay home and farm.
Old Qian looked his granddaughter up and down. Had his granddaughter gotten too cocky after fixing a radio? If studying was that easy, would there only be two or three high school students in their village?
Qian Xiao glanced down at his patched clothes, which were clean despite being torn: "What are you looking at, sir? Are you sure you can do this or not? I already know it all, why would I have to learn it all again? Isn't that a waste of time?"
"You really know it all? Our family doesn't need your tuition fees."
"Oh dear, what's the point of me lying? Can knowledge be fooled? Besides, we have so many people in our family, why waste money when we can save it?"
Old Man Qian nodded: "You're right. Then go and give it a try. If you can do it, you can go to fifth grade. If you can't pass the exam, you can't bring this up again. You'll have to study first grade properly."
"Okay, if I don't pass the exam, I won't mention skipping grades anymore. I'll definitely study one grade at a time."
"By the way, your great-uncle said that you said you would sell the radio to him after it was repaired?" Last time his cousin came over and saw him listening to the radio, he wanted to take it away. Would he be willing to part with it?
"Yes, that's what I think. Think about it, this is a novelty, right? Our family is the only one in the whole village with it. In winter, it's fine, no one will see it, but when the weather gets warmer, more people will visit each other and see that we have this."
"Wouldn't everyone be curious and come to see it? Once they see it, they'll want to listen to it. Our family isn't stingy, but this thing needs batteries. If it weren't for the batteries my dad mailed back all winter, would we be able to listen to the radio?"
“If you don’t let people listen, they’ll say you’re stingy. If you do let them listen, we won’t have enough batteries to go around. People will come and go to see this novelty and it will be noisy. It’s better to sell it to Grandpa and let everyone in the village listen together.”
"This way we don't have to pay for batteries ourselves, and we can listen to the radio just like everyone else. Isn't that great!"
Old Man Qian tapped Qian Xiao's head: "You little rascal, you're quite shrewd. Fine, I'll do as you say and sell it to the village. When I want to listen, I can go to the village and listen with everyone. That way, we can save money."
"That's exactly what I mean. I got my intelligence from my grandfather."
Old Man Qian tried hard to suppress the upturned corners of his mouth: "Alright, stop flattering me. If you want to skip a grade, study hard. If you don't pass the exam, people will laugh at you."
