Chapter 172 Her Future Will Be at Least Fourth Rank
That evening, Pan Duole received a study plan tailored for her by Mao Li.
Considering that she is not yet 12 years old, Mao Li, based on the Interstellar Child Protection Regulations and the actual situation of a 36-hour day on Green Algae Star, requires her to sleep 10 to 12 hours every day.
In this way, there are only 24 hours left. Divide the 24 hours into three equal parts, and set her study time for a day at 8 hours.
Before developing a study plan, Mao Li gave her a basic test, and the results were appalling. Her current academic level is equivalent to that of a first-grade student in a star elementary school (except for arithmetic, which is equivalent to that of a third-grade student).
Given her strong tendency to specialize in certain subjects, Mao Li decided to have her learn to read and write first.
The native language is Chinese, and after the population plummeted following the cataclysm, more than 90% of the survivors speak Chinese. Therefore, the authorities abandoned many languages and kept only Chinese as the official language.
Pandora has no problem with listening and speaking, but he lacks reading and writing skills.
Therefore, the eight-hour study plan was divided into: two hours for literacy, two hours for writing, one hour for natural science, one hour for special ability training, half an hour for morality and law, half an hour for painting, half an hour for music, and half an hour for handicrafts.
In his own view, the learning plan devised by Mao Li was far too simplistic and crude. However, this was a wasteland, and many teaching methods could not be implemented, such as practical training, social surveys, physical training, and supergravity training.
Of course, Lele often goes out to collect materials, so physical training is basically unnecessary.
When Pan Duole heard about his study plan, he expressed his incomprehension: "Mao Li, ethics and law, painting, music, handicrafts, what are these? They sound pretty useless."
“I think it’s good; the learning content is quite comprehensive. Also, since you’re going to be learning from Mao Li from today onwards, you’ll have to start calling him Teacher Mao Li, remember that?” Zuo Shan said.
"Oh, I remember, Teacher Mao Li!" Pan Duole whispered. Although Mao Li knew a lot, it was still a little awkward for her to call a cat "teacher".
The next morning, with Ah Chen on her chest and Xiao Bao on her back in a backpack, she jogged slowly to Old Madam Gu's house to fetch reindeer milk.
Pan Duole was left behind to study and learn to read with Mao Li. Since she had decided to study, and her sister had specially set aside time for her to study, she naturally wouldn't waste a single second.
The old butler was waiting by the gate. As soon as he saw Zuo Shan, he opened the gate to welcome her in. Madam Gu was taking a walk in the courtyard. When she saw her, she greeted her with a smile, "Little Shan, you've arrived. Where's Lele?"
"I've created a study plan for her, and she'll start learning academic subjects starting today," Zuo Shan answered candidly.
"This child! I thought she didn't like studying, but I didn't expect she just didn't want to owe this old woman a favor." Madam Gu's smile deepened, and she mentioned that she had previously planned to send her to school.
Zuo Shan felt very sorry, feeling that Lele had missed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
However, considering that she comes from District 50 and has almost no education, if she were to go to a regular school, at almost twelve years old, she would probably feel very awkward mixed in with a bunch of little kids in first grade.
She also felt that Mao Li's knowledge was definitely superior to that of ordinary primary school teachers, so thinking about it this way, it might not be a bad thing for Lele to learn from him.
"By the way, Madam, I wanted to ask, if someone like my Lele, who studies academic subjects on her own, is eligible to participate in management-level recruitment assessments in the future?" Zuo Shan asked.
"That's alright. Even without a formal degree, as long as someone vouches for her knowledge, she can still participate in these kinds of assessments," Madam Gu said with a smile.
Even if she doesn't live to see that day, that young master Bai can probably vouch for Lele, since she wouldn't participate in this kind of assessment if she wasn't confident in her knowledge.
Aside from a few powerful families using connections to find someone to take the exam for their own children, there are generally no problems with guarantors in this situation.
"That's good," Zuo Shan said.
I've heard that it's not easy to upgrade your ability level. Some people will be stuck at level one or two for life. And a low-level ability user, even if they join a mercenary group, can only join a mercenary group in a remote area like District 48. The salary is low and there are risks involved.
If Lele's ability level remains unchanged after she reaches adulthood, the best option would be to become an administrator and earn a stable salary.
Thinking about this, she suddenly realized that she now had the mentality of an old mother, which was very wrong. She didn't want to enter old age prematurely.
Madam Gu clearly saw through her thoughts and couldn't help but laugh, "You underestimate Lele. This child is not even 12 years old yet, and her ability level has already broken through to the second level. If nothing unexpected happens, she will be able to break through to the fourth level or above in the future."
Even if they were to test administrators, it wouldn't be for those outside District 40; at the very least, they'd be battlefield logistics support personnel for the official city defense forces.
"What is the official city defense force? And what do battlefield logistics support personnel do?" Zuo Shan asked, as this was the first time she had heard these terms.
"In each safe zone within District 40, the authorities will train a group of military personnel similar to the city's special police before the Great Cataclysm; they are called the City Guard."
The battlefield logistics support personnel of the city defense army are different from logistics support personnel in the usual sense. Their task is to provide timely rescue to the front-line combat personnel when the city defense army encounters mutations and dampness.
"This rescue operation includes transporting military supplies such as firearms, as well as providing armed support to frontline combat personnel when they are in grave danger," Madam Gu explained.
