Chapter 15, Is Madness Contagious?
"Quiet down, let's have our morning class!" Teacher Lin slapped the table, ending the farce.
Lu Ziyuan and Lu Zirou found two adjacent empty seats in the middle of the classroom and sat down.
The first class of the morning started with reading the Analects of Confucius. Jiang Ruanruan scratched her head in frustration. Before she became a debt collector, she was a good young woman of the 21st century, a clear-headed and innocent college girl.
When she arrived, she was completely lost; she didn't recognize any traditional Chinese characters.
What if she suddenly regrets it? If she really has to study for another ten years, wouldn't that be the death of her?
While the other children were reciting with their heads bobbing and swaying, she was staring at the book, scratching her head and looking at herself.
Following the rule of "read along the edge if there is an edge, read the middle if there is no edge!" the result was that I got completely confused while reading.
Lu Ziyuan and Lu Zirou also struggled with their reading, having attended school in the county town.
However, this was limited to primers such as the Thousand Character Classic, the Three Character Classic, and the Hundred Family Surnames.
Now, let's get straight to the difficult part.
The initial joy of studying at the Imperial College was largely gone.
Although the two tried their best to hide it, Jiang Ruanruan still couldn't help but laugh. Fortunately, she wasn't the only bad student.
However, Jiang Huai'an and Li Yunzhi seemed quite at ease, they must have secretly learned it behind the scenes.
Master Lin observed carefully and got a general idea of what was going on.
[Ding-dong, a notification from the system shop to redeem a text translation voucher, which costs only 1000 points.]
[After use, you can directly read the language of this world and remember everything you read within two hours. A friendly reminder: reading too much can cause your CPU to overheat!]
Jiang Ruanruan's eyes widened. She absolutely had to buy it, even if it cost 1000 points, she had to buy it no matter how painful it was.
Click directly to select redeem.
[Congratulations, host! You have successfully redeemed a text translation voucher. Would you like to use it?]
Jiang Ruanruan directly selected "yes".
[Ding! Your translation coupon has been used. Please read more for the next two hours!]
Jiang Ruanruan rolled up her sleeves, determined to crush those twins.
In the previous life, it was said that Lu Ziyuan was a martial arts genius, and Lu Zirou was cultivated into a peerless beauty who was proficient in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
To avoid wasting these thousand points, she had to roll them up.
I picked up the book and started flipping through it at lightning speed; my new brain is working like a cheat code.
She flipped through it, she flipped and flipped through it!
"Little sister, what are you doing?" Jiang Huai'an kept glancing over. The girl was fine at first, but the sound of her turning the pages of the book was disturbing him.
Moreover, now that get out of class is over, my younger sister has suddenly become diligent and studious. What's the point? Does she even understand what she's doing?
[Ding dong! Purchase a 2-hour "Photographic Memory" trial card. The first card is worth 200 points, and the second card is 50% off at 100 points! Friendly reminder: With the right incantation, it can be transferred to someone else!]
"What?! Damn system, why is my coupon so much more expensive?!"
Jiang Ruanruan, sob sob sob, I feel like I've been ripped off.
Jiang Ruanruan glanced at Jiang Huai'an, upholding the noble quality of "a fool wouldn't take advantage of a bargain," and decided to go for it. It was just a matter of spending an extra 300 points.
"Why aren't you resting after class? What are you doing, talking like a madman?" Li Yunzhi was also very curious. The little girl had been clinging to her for the past few days, but she suddenly stopped today, and she wasn't used to it.
"You two come here!" Jiang Ruanruan beckoned, and the three heads whispered among themselves.
After he finished speaking, Jiang Huai'an and Li Yunzhi both fell silent.
"Do you believe me or not? If you do, start reading now!"
Jiang Huai'an and Li Yunzhi exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with helplessness.
The little girl said she dreamed that if she studied hard for two hours today, she could remember as much as she read.
They even claimed it was enlightenment from a Bodhisattva.
“Sister, I believe you…” Jiang Huai’an looked at Jiang Ruanruan with some sympathy. This child probably still had some mental issues.
“I believe it too…” Li Yunzhi couldn’t bear it.
"Then hurry up and take a look!"
Jiang Huai'an and Li Yunzhi could only cooperate. They had heard that only by cooperating with someone who was going crazy, going along with her, and comforting her properly could her condition not worsen. It was only two hours, they could just watch.
Seeing the two of them with their heads down, Jiang Ruanruan decided to make the purchase.
[Congratulations, host, on redeeming two 2-hour photographic memory trial cards. 300 points have been deducted, leaving a balance of 2700 points.]
Following the system's instructions, Jiang Ruanruan placed her palm on Jiang Huai'an's head.
"Pat your head, don't worry, everything will be clear from this enlightenment!" Jiang Ruanruan patted Jiang Huai'an's head twice.
Then blow a breath on his head.
The people who were originally joking around were drawn to this scene and all looked over.
"What are they doing?" a classmate asked, puzzled.
"She's acting strangely; Jiang Ruanruan must have gone crazy again!"
Lu Ziyuan curled his lips and sneered. Once these people see Jiang Ruanruan's true colors, they won't stand on her side anymore.
"Sister, this..." Jiang Huai'an looked puzzled and was a little worried as he faced the stares of these people who were looking at him like he was an idiot.
"Read a book!" Jiang Ruanruan pressed the person towards the book.
Jiang Huai'an sighed, intending to cooperate.
As a result, when his gaze fell on the book, a strange feeling welled up in his heart.
The words seemed like tiny, glowing fish, mischievously burrowing into his mind.
"What's going on... I think I understand now, I get it all..." Jiang Huai'an stared wide-eyed, but Jiang Ruanruan had no time to pay attention to him.
"Brother Pear, you should try it too!"
"Pat your head, don't worry, everything will be clear!" Jiang Ruanruan patted Li Yunzhi's head twice and blew on his head as well.
"Quick, is there any book you want to read? Let's try it out!"
Jiang Ruanruan smiled, considering that Pear could provide her with 100 merit points every day.
Even if you become rich and powerful, you must not forget this.
“Okay…” Li Yunzhi also discerned something from Jiang Huai’an’s behavior.
However, he didn't want to read these classic texts, so he took out an obscure and difficult-to-understand martial arts manual from his book box.
There wasn't a single word, just pictures. This really tested one's comprehension.
But with the book right in front of him, he rubbed his eyes.
Was he hallucinating? He saw the little figures in the book come to life and begin demonstrating moves in front of him.
But after each picture was shown, those little figures would mischievously crawl into his head, and he understood them; he seemed to have memorized them all.
He seemed to have understood.
Jiang Ruanruan nodded in satisfaction and returned to her seat.
He started flipping through the book frantically.
"What are these three pretending for? They're still reading even after class is over!" Lu Ziyuan said with disdain.
"Exactly! Jiang Lu Ruanruan probably doesn't even recognize many of the characters. How can she possibly understand anything when she flips through the book so fast!"
Lu Zirou pursed her lips. Could it be that Jiang Ruanruan and Jiang Huai'an wanted to get the teacher's praise so that they could compete with Jiang Hou for favor? That's why they were pretending to study hard.
She couldn't let those two's evil scheme succeed.
Lu Zirou pulled Lu Ziyuan close and whispered something in his ear.
The 12th prince, who was sitting at the back, kept his eyes on Li Yunzhi.
In contrast, Jiang Ruanruan and Jiang Huai'an were flipping through the book very quickly.
Li Yunzhi's situation is even more bizarre.
