Chapter 61
Pushing every child who may have some talent as far as possible is the greatest kindness a teacher in a backward star area can give.
Jiang Yunu actually didn't know where Reis Daniel's optimism about her came from, just like she didn't know why Joyson and Aunt Daisy were so confident in her.
However, in the face of this unwarranted trust, Jiang Yunu's general response is: she thinks the other party has good vision!
As long as someone dares to believe her, she will continue.
"I had already decided to win a place in the competition," Jiang Yunu said to Reis Daniel. "Now that I know you have high hopes for me, I will definitely win a place and show you."
Jiang Yunu spoke with great confidence, as if the top three places in the school competition were already in her pocket.
Reiss Daniel always felt that the little girl was a little immodest. After hearing this, he felt that Jiang Yunu's level of self-confidence had refreshed his perception in his mind.
Reiss Daniel pondered, "...I'm just pushing you to participate in the competition, hoping you can make it to this year's school team. However, I can't interfere with the outcome of the competition, nor can I give you any slack during the competition, okay?"
"Hmm?" Jiang Yunu tilted his head in confusion. "Teacher, did anything I said sound like I was asking for a backdoor or a slap on the wrist?"
Reiss Daniel: "..."
Really not, but Jiang Luobo's tone was so confident that it seemed as if he had already been chosen, which made Teacher Lei reflect on himself quickly.
The lunch break finally ended, and Jiang Yunu left the office building with one-on-one "personal guidance" and the trust given by Leis Daniel.
It is currently the fourth week of school, and midterm exams will be held on the first three days of the ninth week.
The school competition will be held in the seventh week and the results will be announced in the eighth week.
The Engel school team will depart on the weekend of the tenth week.
Jiang Yunu calculated the time and found that she still had three weeks to prepare for the competition.
During this period, she would spend three weekends, at least one of which would be a trip back to Chateau to visit Aunt Daisy with Joyson.
"Time may be a bit tight." Jiang Yunu muttered to himself after finishing the calculation, "But it's not a big problem."
She said "time is tight" mainly because while she was concentrating on preparing for the competition in her schedule, she also did not forget to arrange for simulator training in her limited free time on weekends.
Joyson particularly admired Jiang Yunuo's persistence in getting on the simulator.
One day in the middle of the week, the red-haired boy recalled that when he returned to school from Chat last Sunday, he was still shocked that Jiang Yunu was busy with additional homework that night, but still took the time to call him and told him not to forget to grab the computer spot at 8 o'clock.
"How can you still remember this?" Joeysen couldn't help but wonder when he recalled it. He felt that Jiang Yunu was able to distract himself and remember this while rushing to finish his homework. He really loved computers too much.
Jiang Yunu was surprised by Joeysen's strangeness.
"How can I not remember this?" Jiang Yunu said.
In fact, after returning from Chat last Sunday and handing in the additional homework, Jiang Yunu realized that it was only 7:30, and he felt a little regretful.
— regretted not booking a computer time slot on Sunday night last week.
Otherwise, considering her efficiency, even if she went back to Chat City on the weekend and did the additional homework assigned by Teacher Lei, she would be able to find some time on Sunday night to go to the simulator at the latest time.
It doesn't affect any important business at all!
In this era, terms like "Internet-addicted boy" and "Internet-addicted girl" are not popular. After all, everyone has a personal terminal, and everyone basically relies on the Internet to do anything. The terminal is also held in the hand at all times, and work and study are inseparable from electronic devices.
Joyson pondered for two classes, and finally could only label Jiang Yunu as a "gaming maniac".
Jiang Yunu readily accepted the word "mad demon", but she asked Qiao Yisen to change the prefix.
"It's 'battle game fanatic,'" she said seriously. "First and foremost, I love combat. The simulator is my only way to experience combat right now, so I love it deeply."
Time will pass very quickly when people have specific goals.
Jiang Yunu's daily routine, besides attending classes, is filled with competition preparations. Previously, she only left home early and returned late on weekends, often to the computer lab in the multi-purpose building. Now, to prepare for the competition, she's starting to leave early and return late on weekdays, sometimes skipping lunch and heading to the school library or finding a chair in one of the student lounges to spend her lunchtime reading.
The three weeks of remaining preparation time was reduced to only two weeks in a blink of an eye.
On the weekend, Jiang Yunu went out to board the plane according to the appointment time made last Sunday.
This was the relaxation and entertainment she insisted on keeping for herself, and it also served as a good way to relax her brain, which had been filled with a lot of textual knowledge.
A classmate from the same dormitory building bumped into Jiang Yunu on the stairs. She was still quiet and shy, and her voice was low as she greeted him: "Yunu, how are you?"
"Hello." Jiang Yunu felt that the other party's greeting was a little strange, but she still answered, "I'm fine."
Wen Jing's roommate nodded, then looked at Jiang Yunu with a look of concern, and whispered, "I think you seem very busy lately, and it seems a little hard."
Jiang Yunu immediately smiled and said, "It's okay."
These two simple words were not enough to dispel Wen Jing's roommate's worries. She pulled Jiang Yunuo on the stairs and talked to her for a few more words until Jiang Yunuo realized that her appointment time was approaching and if she didn't leave, she might not be able to enter the computer classroom on time. She had to politely stop the caring greetings.
"When I come back at night, I will try to move as quietly as possible and not make any loud noise on the corridor floor," said Jiang Yunu.
The quiet roommate shook her head. "You're not noisy at all. I never know when you'll be back."
The atmosphere in the dormitory was harmonious and friendly. Jiang Yunu said goodbye to his troubled roommate, strode down the stairs with the other party's eyes, and quickly left the dormitory building.
Jiang Yunu's steps became lighter at the thought of being able to get on the computer and return to the world of holographic games.
Whether it was attending classes, preparing for competitions, doing the extra homework assigned by ResDaniel, or constantly researching and reading for competitions and homework—all of these activities required sitting, sometimes for two or three hours straight. For someone who enjoys physical activity, it's hard not to feel like my joints are getting rusty from sitting.
Jiang Yunu plunged into the game world. When the familiar feeling of heat surrounded her again, she felt the wind carrying the heat wave and smelled the strong sulfur scent of the fire element map before she opened her eyes. She felt her chest and lungs refreshed in an instant.
The physical and mental cleanser called "battle" cleansed her completely.
"Long time no see." Jiang Yunu looked ahead and greeted the stone giant that was being generated with a tone that was both fighting spirit and nostalgia.
The stone giant was still the same, tall and burly with a body made of stone, and lava draped over him like a blanket. Every time he took a step, the ground would tremble slightly, and sparks would fly out from his body sporadically as he moved.
Jiang Yunu gripped the spatula tightly: "You didn't respond to my greetings, which made me feel a little lonely."
Jiang Yunu's tone was deliberately sad, but his actions were swift and ruthless.
The stone giant remained silent, and slowly walked towards Jiang Yunu with his magma body.
Jiang Yunu quickly rushed forward to meet the opponent!
Abandoning the "kite-flying" strategy he had figured out last week, Jiang Yunu rushed forward as soon as they met today. His movements were vigorous and he used the spatula to find a tricky angle and smashed it hard on the stone giant's shoulder!
The stone giant was hit, raised his arm and swept his stone fist across his body.
When the fist was about to hit her, Jiang Yunu quickly dodged. She bent down and swam like a small snake nimbly following its prey. In the blink of an eye, she "swam" behind the stone giant - then raised the spatula and hit him again!
"clang!"
Sparks flew everywhere, and magma also scattered outward in dots and lines due to the collision.
The back of Jiang Yunu's hand was burned, but she held the spatula even tighter.
The stone giant bent his elbows backward, as if wanting to elbow the troublesome human behind him, and used his elbow to poke Jiang Yunu away from behind.
Jiang Yunu had already "swimmed" to the other side.
She lunged sideways, bent her knees, and lowered her body, putting her entire torso out of the range of the stone giant's elbow, but the spatula in her hand stabbed diagonally upwards.
The third strike, Jiang Yunu's shovel pierced into the edge of the crystal core embedded in the stone giant's left shoulder like a blade.
Magma surged out from the edge of the crystal core like blood, flowed down along the spatula, and quickly slid along the long pole into Jiang Yunu's hand.
The burning sensation this time triggered the human body's instinct to avoid high temperatures. Jiang Yunu followed his instinct and jumped backwards while retracting his hand.
With two leaps, she was completely out of the stone giant's close range.
The stone giant staggered, pressed his left shoulder with the broad stone, then slowly turned around again and walked towards Jiang Yunu with heavy steps.
Jiang Yunu only rested for a few seconds while the other party turned around.
"Okay." Jiang Yunu shook her hands lightly. There were still red marks from the back of her hands to her forearms caused by the high temperature.
The burned area itched slightly, but the desire to fight in her heart itched even more.
Jiang Yunu charged towards the stone giant head-on again!
As if to relieve the stress of a week of intensive exam preparation and to stretch her body after sitting for a long time, she used this frontal fighting method with increased body collisions all night long.
Finally, during these two hours of computer time, Jiang Yunu's efficiency far exceeded her first encounter with the stone giant last week - she managed to knock down a total of four fire element crystal cores.
The price she paid was that she was splashed by the opponent's lava more than four times at close range, and her appearance before going offline was even more miserable than the last time she went offline.
"Who cares if he looks good?" Jiang Yunu rubbed his face as the countdown window approached the last ten seconds, nonchalantly saying, "Winning is all that matters."
