Newbie Tasks
Ah-ah! Ah-ah!
A flock of crows flew overhead.
Yu Shu cut off this scene. Why is her system different from the one in the novel?
[This system is dedicated to training the host to become a famous cartoonist. There are many virtual teachers in the system space to help the host learn to draw cartoons. The speed of the space is 3:1 compared to the outside world. The host can obtain rewards by completing the assessments and tasks issued by the system.]
[Respecting the host's will before rebirth, rewards are appearance attribute values. For example: Assessment results are divided into three levels: A, B, and C, with rewards of 3 attribute points, 2 attribute points, and 1 attribute point respectively. Rewards for other system tasks fluctuate randomly.]
Almost at the same time as the system spoke, Yu Shu's consciousness entered a white space.
She controlled her spirit body to fall from the air, put her toes close to the ground, and stepped lightly - solid.
The system clicked a button in the background, and the white mist in front of Yu Shu suddenly dissipated.
A huge glass studio appeared before me, with an incredibly bold shape.
Yu Shu walked in and saw all kinds of painting materials available, and comic posters of various styles were posted on the walls.
At the innermost part, there are even rows of bookshelves that seem to have no end in sight.
[As long as the host closes his eyes, he can enter the space to view these comics and practice, but he cannot take anything away from the space.]
The system sounds proud.
Yu Shu climbed up the ladder and found a booklet with beautiful illustrations. She opened it, but found that it was written in a language she could not understand at all.
[These comics are collected by the system from various worlds, and there is currently no translation function]
[By the way, considering the host's current learning situation, the system can help the host scan other learning books and study in the space, but there will be no teacher to explain these to the host.]
Yu Shu finally let go of the tension in her heart. Fortunately, if she really didn't have any cheats, she might not be able to get into a good high school in a year.
Just as he was about to praise the system, he heard Yu Hua's resounding voice coming from outside.
"Xiaoyu, look what Daddy brought you!"
Yu Hua was whistling a little tune, his voice very cheerful. He was holding a roasted chicken in his left hand and a drink in his right.
Yu Shu quickly exited the space and rushed to the door.
Yu Hua looked at Yu Shu dotingly as she squatted on the ground and opened her drink, then took out ten yuan from his pocket and handed it to his precious daughter.
"Use the money to buy food."
Yu Shu looked up and saw her father who looked a dozen years younger. She couldn't hold back her tears. She sniffed and took the pocket money given by Yu Hua.
Yu Hua felt a pang of sadness at his daughter's sudden warmth and fished out another red note from his pocket.
Yu Shu was so shocked by Yu Hua's generosity that she even ignored the aroma of the roast chicken.
"Dad asked the cafeteria to save some roast chicken for you today. Don't you want to break off a drumstick and have some?"
Yu Hua works at Hongxi Textile Factory, a state-owned enterprise. Although the salary is not too high, the benefits are good.
In the summer, we give out drinks, popsicles, and movie tickets; in the winter, we give out rice, flour, grain, oil, and meat; and on other days, we also give out various festival gifts.
Yu Shu grew up eating all kinds of food that Yu Hua brought back from the factory. Unfortunately, two years before her rebirth, Hongxi Textile Factory had gone bankrupt.
Yu Hua retired early.
A shiny chicken leg was stuffed in my mouth. The skin was roasted crispy and thin, with a rich and overbearing aroma that whetted my appetite.
After taking a bite, the gravy is charred and fragrant, the taste is mellow and crispy, the shredded meat separates instantly, and the rich aroma of the braised meat is released.
Yu Hua had already put on an apron and started cooking.
The kitchen has excellent lighting, with a large window through which the bright red sunset glow shines.
Yu Hua fished the eel out of the bucket, cleaned it, cut it into pieces and cooked it.
Throw it into the casserole and cook slowly.
Yu Shu finished the chicken leg in no time and lay on the wooden table connecting the kitchen and the living room to watch her father cook.
A plump white garlic jumped onto the brown table.
"Xiaoyu, help Dad peel some garlic. I'm making garlic ribs today."
I had already noticed the child peeking behind me, so I just assigned him some tasks.
Then heat the oil in a pan and start making the oil-drenched eggplant.
In order to pursue his wife Qin Wan, Yu Hua went to learn cooking from the cafeteria's chef, Master Liu.
This fried eggplant dish is Yu Hua’s specialty.
Cut the eggplant into long strips, drain the water, heat the oil to 70% hot, and fry until crispy and fragrant.
Take it out and coat it with his secret sauce. Take a bite and it will be filled with the aroma of oil. The taste is comparable to fried pork elbow.
Yu Shu recalled a topic she had seen online: thin people are often thin because their families cook terrible food.
The same goes for fat people’s families, where there is usually someone who can cook delicious food.
The warm aroma spread from far away, and Qin Wan walked in following the smell.
The prepared oil-drenched eggplant and garlic-flavored pork ribs are already on the table.
"Xiaoyu, don't get too close, you'll become nearsighted."
Qin Wan immediately noticed that Yu Shu was sitting too close to the TV and shook her head in disapproval.
He turned around and took out a box of beautifully wrapped chocolates from his canvas bag.
Yu Shu stopped changing channels and jumped onto her mother's waist, acting coquettishly and cutely in her arms, like a puppy waiting for its owner to come home from hunting.
Qin Wan felt her daughter's solid body and pinched her chubby little face.
"Don't eat it all at once, or you'll get cavities. This is a gift from a student's parents. I think it's from Mauritius?"
Yu Shu's height hadn't fully grown yet, only about 1.4 meters tall. She looked even smaller next to Qin Wan, who was almost 1.7 meters tall.
Qin Wan messed up her hair.
Yu Shu nodded. However, the Yu family had good teeth passed down from generation to generation. She had been eating sweets for thirty years without a single cavity.
Yu Hua came out of the kitchen with a smile, "What are you two whispering about? Let's eat."
The eel soup in the black clay pot was still bubbling with steam. On the table were four dishes: white and red. None of the three members of the Yu family liked onions, so they chopped up some green chilies for garnish.
The TV was playing in the living room as background music, and the family at the dinner table had the habit of not talking while eating or sleeping.
Naturally, Qin Wan talked about her work.
"This year, all the invigilators have to go to Wucheng next door. It's too troublesome."
As the college entrance examination approaches, various examination centers in the province have begun to arrange invigilators.
Qin Wan is a political teacher at Chuncheng No. 2 Middle School. Coincidentally, she only teaches the senior class this year, so she doesn't have to invigilate.
In the past, the principle of recusal for invigilators was that they could invigilate across districts. However, after the provincial government issued a document this year, most invigilators had to invigilate across cities.
"Doesn't that mean we have to go there in advance and live somewhere else?"
Yu Shu remembered that Qin Wan later served as invigilator twice.
But they are all in other districts of Spring City, eating and sleeping at home. Now is not the later time, and there are high-speed rails everywhere.
Spring City was considered an underdeveloped provincial capital. Its first high-speed rail line didn't arrive until 2010, and its first subway line didn't open until 2013. Until her rebirth, it only had four subway lines in operation.
It's really troublesome to arrange for so many teachers.
"The college entrance exam is always a hassle, but it's even stricter now. It can't be helped, as there are always people trying to challenge the limits of cheating."
Yu Hua took a sip of his soup, and was obviously reminded of the college entrance examination cheating case a few years ago, where the test papers were actually stolen.
This resulted in the use of a backup test paper that year, and the passing score was extremely high.
The passing score is getting higher every year, and there are more and more repeaters in No. 2 Middle School. Qin Wan has lost weight after being the head teacher of the senior class for a year.
Fortunately, the college entrance examination is approaching, so one month before the exam, the school closing time was changed to 6 o'clock, so that students can relax and teachers can also take a break.
Yu Hua placed a piece of pork ribs on Qin Wan's rice and said with concern, "Wait a couple of days, and have a good rest during your vacation."
Yu Shu interrupted at this time: "Then don't take extra classes this year, just give it to the second year of high school?"
Qin Wan touched Yu Shu's head, as if she suddenly remembered something: "What about you? Do you want to take extra classes during the summer vacation? Lao Yi told me that your test scores weren't very good this time."
Yu Shu immediately thought of the test paper she received this afternoon, with a perfect score of 40 points.
She felt pain again, but she didn't want to go to cram school.
The reason why Yu Shu’s grades are so bad is not because she hasn’t taken extra classes.
In fact, she had been attending cram schools since she was in fourth grade. The teacher was actually very good at teaching, but she just couldn't listen. To be more precise, she had no desire to learn actively.
Maybe it was because she had a very smooth life since childhood, and she was lucky, so no matter how bad things went, she was able to complete junior high school, high school, and undergraduate studies.
Only put in three points of effort and got a score of six points.
He shook his head frantically at Qin Wan and said vaguely, "The teachers in the class are very good. I just need to listen carefully in school."
Qin Wan smiled and didn't mention it anymore. If the child doesn't want to learn, you can't force him. It's useless to force him too much.
The family had almost finished their meal when there was a knock on the door.
Uncle Yang, Yu Hua's fishing partner from Building 5 opposite, stood at the door of Yu's house, holding a small bucket.
He was wearing a cool white sweatshirt and a white towel draped over his shoulders. He had a thin figure.
"Lao Yu, bring a big bucket over here. I caught a few yellow mullet today. You can cook them for Xiao Wan and Xiao Yu tomorrow."
Uncle Yang is more than ten years older than Yu Hua and is a generation apart from Yu Shu's family.
He especially respected scholars, and was particularly fond of Qin Wan, his high school teacher. He also watched Yu Shu grow up.
Yu Shu leaned over to look at the fish wagging their tails in the bucket and greeted Uncle Yang with a smile: "Uncle Yang, you're awesome! You're the best fisherman I've ever seen."
Uncle Yang was grinning so hard that his teeth were visible.
A rosy look of happiness appeared on her thin face.
Yu Hua took the bucket and said, "You heartless little thing, you cook it yourself tomorrow."
Qin Wan laughed heartily and coaxed Yu Hua, "Your soup is the best."
Uncle Yang leaned on the doorstep and chatted with the family: "If you say so, I will compete with Lao Yu tomorrow."
The adults were leaning on the doorstep and chatting, and Yu Shu followed instructions and carried the bucket to the balcony.
Although it is called a bucket, it can actually be seen as a taller basin.
In a large white plastic bucket about 45 centimeters wide, three yellow little fish were spinning in circles.
Yu Shu pulled over the spray bottle that Qin Wan used to water the flowers and sprayed a little water mist into it.
The fish quieted down.
Yu Shu is already thirty years old, but she still can't understand why the older generation can always chat for so long.
Several people stood on the doorstep and chatted for a long time. Every time they were about to leave, Uncle Yang would stop.
Yu Shu wanted to just ask him to come in and sit down and chat.
"Okay, okay, I won't talk anymore. I'm going back."
Uncle Yang was still reluctant to leave and waved goodbye.
"Okay, okay, let's go fishing together in a few days."
Yu Shu looked up at the sky; the afterglow of the sunset had already entered its final stage.
The annoying mosquitoes in the air began to move, and Yu Shu swatted a mosquito that came in before closing the screen window.
"Xiaoyu, Daddy is sending Mommy to a meeting at school. You have to be good at home alone."
Qin Wan received a call and the two of them hurried out again.
The room became quiet.
[Host, start learning! The novice task is very simple]
