Chapter 5 No one gets rich without extraordinary talent
At this time, the main subjects in the first year of junior high school are: Chinese, mathematics, English, physics, geography, politics and history. Chemistry will not be taught until the second year of junior high school.
Just then, Yuan Baoya opened the task menu in the game, and the system thoughtfully popped up a task prompt, informing her that she could go to the NPC Teacher Hai at the school to receive the system tutorials for each subject corresponding to this task. These tutorials included detailed explanations of knowledge points and a massive collection of test questions, all of which were "magic weapons" for improving scores.
Yuan Baoya felt a warmth in her heart and murmured to the air, "9 Tong, mwah," full of gratitude for the system's thoughtful arrangement.
Then, she opened her personal panel and took a look: Yuan Baoya, female, 12 years old, first year of junior high school.
The basic attributes are clearly displayed: Intelligence 4, Stamina 2, Strength 2, Luck 3, Agility 5.
The note below states that for most people, a basic attribute score of 10 is considered A+. For every 3 points gained in each attribute in the game, the corresponding attribute in real life will increase by 1 point.
Current points: 0, earned amount: 0.
Yuan Baoya stared at the basic attribute description, her eyes widening, and couldn't help but exclaim, "My God! How can this be a dream? It's totally real! I really have turned back into a 12-year-old! The game rewards can actually be redeemed in real life. My attributes have increased, and I'll become stronger in real life too. Isn't this a cheat code for life? No one gets rich without unexpected wealth. Now I finally have the confidence to defy fate!"
Just then, Mr. and Mrs. Yuan entered the house one after the other. Yuan Baoya quickly suppressed her surprise and excitement and came out of her room.
Upon seeing Mr. and Mrs. Yuan, who were still young, I almost couldn't hold back my tears and quickly opened the food laid out on the table.
Mr. Yuan smiled indulgently and replied, "Oh, if you can't resist, just try a little. It's no big deal."
But Yuan's mother didn't care about the food. She frowned and muttered, "Where's your brother? Where has that kid gone off to again? He's never home."
No sooner had he finished speaking than the eldest brother, Yuan Baoguo, burst into the house as if he had just arrived on time, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Mother, I'm here!" His eyes lit up when he saw the food on the table. "Wow~~ Little sister, we have such delicious food today! Quick, let's eat! My stomach is rumbling!"
"Wash your hands before eating! I've told you so many times, why can't you remember!" Aunt Yuan said, feigning anger and scolding with a smile.
The family sat around the dinner table, chatting and eating.
Looking at her young and healthy father and her smiling mother, Yuan Baoya's eyes welled up with tears, which almost spilled out. She hurriedly picked up some food to cover them up, her heart filled with mixed feelings, a mixture of past regrets and the joy of reunion.
Yuan's mother, with her sharp eyes, noticed that Yuan Baoya's expression was off and hurriedly asked anxiously, "Baoya, what's wrong? Did your brother bully you again? I'll teach him a lesson..."
Upon hearing this, Yuan's father and elder brother Baoguo were both dumbfounded and looked at Yuan Baoya.
"No, my brother didn't bully me. It's just that the braised pork with potatoes is so delicious! I must learn how to make this dish so I can make it for you guys in the future."
“This child, it’s not like he’s going to such lengths just to eat!” said Mr. Yuan.
“Why not? If you spend less money subsidizing others and more on our family, Bao Ya and Bao Guo will be able to live more comfortably…” Yuan Ma changed the subject and couldn’t help but complain.
"Oh dear, we're eating, why are you bringing this up again? Come on, eat your food," said Mr. Yuan, trying to smooth things over and urging everyone to eat.
Taking the opportunity, Yuan Baoya said, "Mom and Dad, I want to study hard, get into high school and university, make a lot of money, buy you a big house, and buy lots and lots of delicious food!"
Yuan's mother said happily, "Good, good, good~ My good daughter, it's good that you're so sensible~~ As long as you study hard and get into university, Mom will sell everything she owns to support you."
Mr. Yuan nodded in agreement, pointed at Yuan Baoguo, and said earnestly, "Did you hear what your sister said? You need to settle down and study hard too!"
"Okay, okay!" Yuan Baoguo mumbled, his mouth full of braised pork.
Speaking of Mr. Yuan, when he was demobilized and returned to civilian life, he had the opportunity to find a job in a bank, but he chose to work at the then-glorious supply and marketing cooperative.
Who could have predicted that, with the tides of time rolling forward, the supply and marketing cooperatives, which were popular in the 80s, would be struggling in the 90s?
Mr. Yuan is a very capable worker, hardworking and reliable, but he is a man of few words and usually keeps to himself.
But when he drinks a little alcohol, he becomes a different person. He pours out all the things he usually keeps to himself and things he doesn't like, regardless of whether he should or shouldn't say them, which offends many leaders, both big and small.
And so, several promotion opportunities slipped through his fingers. His career was fraught with setbacks, his spirits were low, and his health deteriorated. He passed away prematurely in 2009, leaving an indelible wound in Yuan Baoya's heart.
After graduating from high school, Yuan Ma was originally the lead singer of the district's cultural troupe. She had a melodious voice and a graceful dance.
Later, he was seconded to the radio station as a broadcaster, and then, responding to the call, he volunteered to be transferred to the assembly plant as a worker, full of enthusiasm.
In the factory, every day you have to flip over dozens of machine cases weighing over 200 kilograms each, and then repeatedly apply three or four coats of paint. Long-term exposure to paint and the smell of paint have a great impact on your health. The long-term overload of labor has left you with a host of ailments.
The eldest brother, Yuan Baoguo, is in the second year of junior high school. At this age, he is full of youthful passion and fantasies. He has plunged into the martial arts world of Jin Yong and Gu Long, and fantasizes all day about having a miraculous encounter and transforming into a martial arts master who can fly over rooftops and leap across walls. Every move he makes is "ho ho ha hei," and he is very imposing.
However, he became perfunctory in his studies, and his grades plummeted, with scores in each subject hovering between 60 and 70, neither rising nor falling, which was truly a headache.
Ding……
A side quest is issued: Encourage your older brother Yuan Baoguo to study hard, improve his grades in each subject to 70 points, and develop good study habits. The reward is 300 points and one chance to win a prize.
After lunch, Mr. and Mrs. Yuan urged their two children to take a nap so they could be well-rested for their afternoon classes.
Yuan Baoya tugged at her older brother and whispered, "Brother, we have a test next Wednesday, what about you guys?"
"We're the same. Sigh, I get a headache just thinking about exams." Yuan Baoguo said with a worried look on his face and a sigh.
"Brother, how about this? If you get over 70 points in every subject on this test, go to Uncle's house and get a spot for the novel. I'll let you have it all to yourself for a month." Yuan Baoya winked and threw out the "bait".
Speaking of my uncle's house, it's like a "library" for the two kids, filled with storybooks, martial arts novels, and all sorts of magazines.
To prevent it from affecting their studies, the uncle set a rule that each person could only read three books per month, taking one book at a time and exchanging it after finishing it.
Yuan Baoguo was obsessed with martial arts novels. Every time he brought home a book, he would finish it in two or three days and eagerly look forward to the next one. However, a set usually consisted of several books, so he had to slowly rotate them, which made him very anxious.
Yuan Baoguo had asked Yuan Baoya to help him get the books and speed up the exchange process several times, but Yuan Baoya deliberately refused to cooperate, only picking out story collections and magazines, which left Yuan Baoguo frustrated and helpless.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Baoguo's mind raced. He figured that with a little effort in several subjects, getting 70 points wouldn't be difficult. But he needed to work harder on English, Politics, and Chemistry. However, there was still a week left, so with some effort, he might be able to make it.
So he gritted his teeth and bargained, saying, "One month isn't enough, it has to be three months."
"Deal! But if it doesn't work out, the three-month spot is mine!" Yuan Baoya held up her little finger, as if to make a pinky promise.
“Okay, I’m sure I can do it!” Yuan Baoguo didn’t hesitate and made a pinky promise with Yuan Baoya.
After "dealing with" her older brother, Yuan Baoya quickly opened the NPC Teacher Hai's interface and received the corresponding knowledge point summary and test question set. She felt much more at ease, as if she had a martial arts manual in her heart.
I was thinking that when I got to school in the afternoon, I would find a clever excuse to share these "study tips" with my older brother and give him a helping hand.
Afterwards, Yuan Baoya quickly browsed through her materials and found that the course content for the first month of junior high school was indeed simple. She felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that it was still early, Yuan Baoya left home ahead of time, planning to take a detour to school and look for some landmarks along the way to begin her challenging and hopeful afternoon journey.
