Even though she couldn't understand the text due to the rules, Yin Zhu could still understand the whole picture book story through the illustrations. After all, the years of picture-telling training in China were no joke.
That's what Yin Zhu thought.
However, the thought only flashed through Yin Zhu's mind before she felt a sharp pain coming from her head, which then spread throughout her body, causing her to collapse onto the table with a contorted expression, completely powerless.
What's going on? Why is this happening?
While Yin Zhu was still in a daze, the think tank behind the screen had already seen through everything.
Because this scene is exactly the same as the one with Louis before.
“Yin Zhu is using her talent,” Meng Li said, twirling her pen.
Yu Qi zoomed in on Yin Zhu's face on the screen, carefully examining her mood, and added, "Moreover, she was frightened, which means she didn't anticipate this would happen—this is the first time she has used her talent since shrinking."
“Yes, she doesn’t know that using her talent after shrinking will drain all her strength.” Fang Kuo said with some concern, “Should we tell her?”
“No need, she can figure it out herself.” An Zhi rejected the suggestion.
"Could it be that she doesn't know she's using her skill?" Tong Xinyan, always understanding, suddenly spoke up, offering her guess: "When Yin Zhu returned to Blue Star, she mentioned that she rarely used her talent in 'Green House,' but we all know..."
Looking around at the members present, Tong Xinyan continued, "...Yin Zhu actually managed to avoid several near-death incidents she encountered in the strange world, while other chosen ones would only face certain death if they encountered them. It's obvious that she was interfered with by her talent."
"So, sometimes Yin Zhu doesn't consciously intend to use her talent, but the system behind her determines that she is?" Mo You immediately understood what Tong Xinyan meant.
"That's right. Although we don't know exactly how the system that gives talents to the chosen ones determines them, it's clear that Yin Zhu has been tricked this time."
...
After spending some time clearing her mind and resting in the "Outlaws" instance, Yin Zhu finally recovered.
At this point, it had turned into a class.
Teacher Zhao was standing on the podium giving a lecture, while Teacher Xiao seemed to have gone off to slack off.
It is indeed tiring for the same teacher to manage an entire class, especially since Sunny and cheerful kindergarten is a completely enclosed place. No wonder the staff code requires two people to manage the same class.
Once she recovered, Yin Zhu immediately looked around at her surroundings. Seeing that everyone was doing their own thing, she lay back down at her small table and began brainstorming to find the reason.
She hadn't done anything, so it's unlikely she was "punished for violating the rules." Therefore, the problem must be unrelated to the rules and related to herself. Just now, Yin Zhu's only thought was to find a way to bypass the rules to read the book, believing that she could achieve this by guessing the story from the pictures. What followed was the excruciating pain.
This indicates that the intense pain was related to his earlier thoughts.
My thoughts revolved around the rules, and although I didn't implement them, it can still be seen as a kind of "interpretation of the rules," so I was actually using my talent just now.
So how do you interpret the rules?
[You don't need to understand the text to understand picture books.]
Now that I think about this again, my body doesn't hurt anymore, which means that in the eyes of the rule-based world, my interpretation of that rule is correct.
The intense pain I just experienced was accompanied by complete weakness, as if all my strength was concentrated in my head. Could this be interpreted as me needing to gather all my strength to successfully utilize my talent for interpreting rules, due to some circumstance? Also…
"Gurgle."
Yin Zhu touched her rumbling stomach and added a question: She had gotten hungry too early today, so the pain was likely due to the loss of energy.
However, my previous self didn't have any problems using my talents, so it's very likely related to my shrinking size.
Finding similar references and then using the elimination method is very effective.
In conclusion, Yin Zhu guessed that the young body was unable to support the energy required by the talent, which was why this happened.
However, this also means that even though Yin Zhu did not intentionally use her talent, she actually used her talent skill again, and because her young body could not provide enough energy to use the talent, it caused a certain backlash.
Yin Zhu hadn't even considered this.
Even if she hadn't foreseen it, Yin Zhu was still lucky; knowing at this crucial moment is better than finding out when trouble comes.
Now that it has already happened, Yin Zhu decided to focus on tackling this difficult problem at the kindergarten.
Having already experienced the pain, it would be a shame not to read this picture book!
Yin Zhu propped herself up, ignoring the surprised looks from the people around her, and directly opened the picture book on the table.
As the title suggests, this picture book tells a story about a birthday party: A little boy is having his birthday, and his mother gives him a big gift box. The boy excitedly opens the gift, only to find that it's actually a kindergarten. He shrinks down and enters the kindergarten, where all the children play with him. He's very happy, but then he finds that he can't get out. He becomes part of the kindergarten and is put into a gift box and given to another child.
From Yin Zhu's perspective, this story is a complete horror story, and it doesn't even qualify as a dark fairy tale.
Generally speaking, stories published for young children will contain some content about values and moral lessons, and will also have a romanticized ending to give children a happy impression.
For example, the text might include a warning such as "The boy promised his mother he would only play for ten minutes, but he got so engrossed in playing that he exceeded the time limit," and it would often end with a happy ending such as "The boy woke up and realized it was all a dream, so he told his mother he would never disobey again."
