It seems I also need to find a way to get some textbooks back; I need a degree to continue realizing my dreams.
"Could you ask your host for the details of this history and tell me? I can pay you."
"Ah! You want to know all this? I know it now. What do you want to know about?" When it had nothing to do, the host would tell it about those difficult years, so it actually knew quite a lot.
The little system told Sun Kaicheng everything it had heard intermittently. Sun Kaicheng carefully remembered some of the important events. He never expected that the next twenty years would be such an eventful time. As long as they managed things well, both families could survive.
It seems I really have to thank the host of the little system. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to protect even his maternal grandparents, since they were rare cultured people.
Thanks to him, my grandparents are in the process of retiring. Now all we need to do is find a way to persuade them to retire early before things get serious, go to a remote place to live in seclusion, and wait for the incident to end.
As for his grandfather, he also has many political enemies. It seems he needs to find a way to tell his grandfather about this. Once his grandfather knows, he will make arrangements for everything afterward. His grandfather is too young and his words are not convincing enough, otherwise he really doesn't want to expose himself.
Perhaps because he has spent so much time in the apocalypse, he no longer has complete trust in anyone.
"Thank you. I hope you can keep me updated if you have any news. Besides textbooks, is there anything else you need?"
The little system shook its head: "Not at the moment. Let me see what else my host wants and then I'll tell you."
"Sure, as long as I can get it."
Sun Kaicheng glanced at his still somewhat weak legs. It seemed he needed to take the superpower awakening potion as soon as possible. He wondered if his body would develop superpowers. In this chaotic world, having superpowers would allow him to better protect himself and his family.

"Wow, Shuangdan is amazing! You actually got your hands on textbooks? That's great! I'm going to start studying today and try to take the junior high school entrance exam next summer."
"Is it okay to take these books out like this?"
"It's okay. I brought back a lot of books last time, and they've been sitting in my room without anyone reading them. Just say you got them from the junkyard."
"Keep it up! If you get into university, we can go and see the capital city too."
"Don't worry, even if my grades aren't great, I shouldn't have much trouble getting into university."
After graduating from university, she will return to her hometown to find a job with a secure livelihood, which will basically guarantee her livelihood for the next ten years or so.
When Qian Xiao opened the textbook, she realized how much she had foreseen the situation. The textbooks in these two worlds were quite different. Luckily, she was always serious about her studies; otherwise, relying on her memory, she would never have been able to get into university.
Qian Xiao put down her book in frustration. She had been reading whenever she had free time lately, and she felt sick of it. She desperately needed to go out for a walk.
The old lady saw her eldest granddaughter rummaging through the shed: "What are you looking for? Grandma will find it for you?"
"No need, I'll find some chores and go for a walk up the mountain. My head is spinning from reading too much."
"Well, we agreed not to go deep into the mountains, but it's good to go out for a walk. People get so bored staying indoors all day."
My eldest granddaughter simply won't study if she doesn't want to, but when she gets serious, she's practically glued to her book all day long, which makes me feel tired just looking at her.
"I won't go deep into the mountains, I'll just wander around outside and then I'll be back. Grandma, I'm leaving now."
"Go quickly and come back soon."
After the old lady finished speaking, she turned around and saw that her eldest granddaughter had already disappeared. She didn't know if she had heard her words and asked her to come back soon.
Qian Xiao didn't go looking for Gouzi and the others. Taking them along felt like an added responsibility, and she preferred to be on her own. She followed the path directly up the mountain. It had been a while since she'd been to the mountains. Taking a deep breath, she felt the mountain air itself carried the scent of freedom.
Without any particular purpose, she strolled inside, holding a small wooden stick and hitting things around. If there were any hidden small animals, this would easily startle them, making it easier for her to take action if they ran out on their own.
As they approached the edge of the deep mountains, they saw two pear trees that had lost half their fruit. Qian Xiao slapped his forehead. Last winter, he had been thinking of buying all the pears from these two trees. How could he have forgotten about it this year?
It's all because of studying. As they say, studying takes up the most time that should be spent playing.
After rubbing his hands together and laughing a few times, he scrambled up the tree. He picked all the pears he could reach, and for those he couldn't reach, he shook the branches vigorously to make them fall to the ground. The ground was covered with a thick layer of leaves, so the pears weren't easily damaged.
Just as the branches were swaying vigorously, they heard Shuangdan's warning: "Host, someone's coming from the right. They don't seem like a good person. Be careful."
Qian Xiao immediately stopped. Luckily, she had carried the basket on her back when she came up, otherwise, even if she didn't move, the things on the ground would have given her away. She hid the large basket in her spatial storage and held the wood-chopping knife in her hand, becoming vigilant.
She hoped that those who came over would not look up. There were hardly any leaves left on the pear tree, so she could not hide herself at all. Unless absolutely necessary, she really did not want to expose the existence of her space outside. Who knew if anyone could see her from the shadows?
Sure enough, after about ten minutes, five people came over. Only the person leading the way carried a basket on his back and looked like a local.
The remaining four people were carrying yellow-green backpacks. This wouldn't look strange in modern times, but what era are we living in? They don't even have backpacks like that here.
Moreover, the four people behind them were all very tall and strong, unlike the kind of strong people in the countryside. Some of them looked like fitness enthusiasts from later generations, with the physique of people with particularly well-developed muscles.
The direction they came from was exactly where she was: "Double Egg, if I enter the space, will I still be able to see what's happening outside?"
Shuangdan didn't answer immediately. The space didn't belong to them, and they didn't know its specific functions. However, they could ask Sun Kaicheng. As long as Sun Kaicheng granted them the necessary permissions, it should be fine.
After about two minutes, Shuangdan finally spoke: "Okay, you can come in. You can see and hear the outside scenery and sounds from inside."
The moment one of them looked up, Qian Xiao disappeared from the pear tree. Once inside the space, Qian Xiao and Shuang Dan, who were looking outside, patted their chests in relief. Damn it, she was so close! She was just a hair's breadth away from being discovered.
