Chapter 4 How could relatives get along like this?
Aunt Yuan's loud voice boomed through the classroom: "Classmates, pay attention! Look at Yuan Baoya's notes! They're incredibly well-done, not just for Chinese class, but also for all the other subjects. Every stroke is clear and organized! What's most amazing is that Yuan Baoya has set a goal for herself: to get over 90 points in every subject on next week's monthly exam. Everyone should learn from this drive and be her witnesses, let's see if our Baoya can keep her word!"
Most of the students in the class were too playful to focus on their studies. The class atmosphere was like a bunch of lazybones, all loose and disorganized. As soon as they heard this, they started shouting and clapping like popcorn popping in a pot: "Wow, awesome, Yuan Baoya, you're really good!" More than forty pairs of eyes were fixed on Yuan Baoya, most of them looking on with amusement and jeering, making Yuan Baoya feel very uncomfortable.
Yuan Baoya's face flushed bright red in an instant, like a ripe tomato hanging on a branch, burning red.
However, she was only stunned for a brief moment. She took a deep breath, puffed out her chest, and shouted back, "I will try my best!" Her voice was clear and loud, with a spirit of never giving up.
Aunt Yuan wore a fake smile, like a plastic flower stuck on, looking utterly fake. Her eyes, however, were full of cunning, waiting to see a good show. She said in a sarcastic tone, "Fine! I believe you! We all believe you!" These words were like a sharp thorn, piercing straight into Yuan Baoya's heart, making her itch with resentment. She gritted her teeth secretly, thinking, "Hmph, just you wait. I'll slap you in the face with my grades, slap you until you see stars, and show you what happens when you underestimate me."
Yuan Baoya was full of doubts. How could relatives get along like this? Although Yuan's aunt wasn't particularly warm to other classmates, she hadn't treated her like this.
Mr. Yuan has helped them a lot over the years, hoping to get some gratitude in return. How could he have gotten such a terrible result?
In the past, Yuan Baoya would have been furious and resentful, given up on herself, thrown her books away, and ignored everything else.
But things are different now. She's holding her breath, like a sail billowing in the wind, determined to slap Yuan Xiaogu across the face with her excellent grades, to make a loud "smack" sound, and to let her know that she's not someone to be trifled with.
Not only that, we also need to hurry up and try to skip a grade as soon as possible to get out of this terrible atmosphere that makes people feel uncomfortable and full of negative emotions.
After this little incident, the bell rang not long after, and school was over.
Wei Li leaned closer, her brows furrowed into a deep frown, and said worriedly, "Yuan Baoya, you really dare to dream big! Getting over 90 points in every subject is practically impossible. I'd be lucky to even get 70 points in any subject!"
Yuan Baoya waved her hand dismissively, a confident smile playing on her lips, and said, "It's nothing! I suddenly realized that learning is ultimately for myself. I was confused before, but now I have to work hard."
The words had barely left his mouth when a "ding" sounded in his head, and the system's voice popped up: Ding... Please check the mission issuance center:
Daily check-in: Choose a location to check in each day; different check-in locations offer different rewards.
Main mission: Get first place in the class in the test one week later, with a score of 90 or above in each subject. Reward: 500 points and one chance to win a prize.
Side quest: Encourage and help your deskmate Wei Li to study hard and improve her grades in each subject to 80 points. Reward: 300 points and one chance to win a prize.
Additional information: In the real world, completing 1 or more steps daily allows you to connect to and redeem rewards according to certain conditions.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Baoya's eyes widened in surprise and confusion. She hurriedly asked, "Wait, '9-system,' does the supplementary explanation mean what I understand? It means that rewards in the game can be redeemed for use in the real world?"
"Yes, my lord." The leader's voice was steady and reliable.
"What about the other rewards?" Yuan Baoya pressed.
"In the real world, as long as you complete 1 or more steps every day, you can redeem rewards. Please check the reward redemption instructions for details and choose whether to redeem according to the redemption conditions," 9 explained patiently.
Yuan Baoya was overjoyed. She slapped her thigh and laughed, "Wow! Commander 9, you're such a good commander!" Her heart was pounding like a rabbit; she was incredibly excited.
I immediately decided to run home and start my studies. I made an appointment with Wei Li to talk in detail in the afternoon. Then, like a wild horse, I rushed home, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Yuan Baoya's family of four squeezed into a small three-bedroom apartment of about 70 square meters, allocated by her father's workplace. It was on the fourth floor, like a cozy little nest, very close to the school, only a seven or eight-minute walk away, like taking a stroll.
Returning home, gazing at the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar furnishings, a wave of emotions surged through me, as if I had traveled through a long time tunnel and returned to the old days.
She glanced at the clock on the wall; her older brother, Yuan Baoguo, hadn't returned home yet. Not daring to delay, she rushed into the kitchen, grabbed a rice bowl, and hurried to the courtyard canteen, muttering to herself, "I'd better hurry, or I'll only have leftovers!"
Upon arriving at the canteen, Yuan Baoya quickly got her food and then rushed home. Once home, she carefully placed the food on the table and then nimbly packed it into serving dishes.
Hey, look! Today's meal includes braised pork with potatoes. The color is a glossy red, and the aroma is irresistible, making my stomach rumble.
The potatoes are stewed until soft and fluffy, melting in your mouth like fluffy clouds. The braised pork is even more amazing, with alternating layers of fat and lean meat. The fatty parts melt in your mouth, while the lean parts are chewy and satisfying. With each bite, the flavor spreads across your tongue, making it incredibly tempting.
Yuan Baoya stared at the food, her mouth watering so much she almost drooled. She slurped and muttered, "It's just stealing a piece of potato, no one will know, it's no big deal."
But as soon as he reached out, he pulled back as if he had been electrocuted. He shook his head and told himself, "No, no, I have to hold back and come back. The whole family has to eat together. I can't break the rules!" He stomped his foot and fled back to his room, suppressing his craving and hoping that his family would come back soon.
Back in her room, Yuan Baoya quickly found her notebook and pen, sat down at her desk, and calmly and carefully planned out what she needed to do next:
First, we need to quickly find the check-in points. This daily task cannot be taken lightly. Different check-in points may hold big surprises and generous rewards.
Secondly, you must ensure that you take at least 1 steps every day, whether it's a leisurely walk or a light jog. In any case, you must complete this task successfully, as it is related to whether you can successfully redeem the reward.
Third, you need to quickly understand the ways to make money in the game and the rules for redeeming rewards. Only by having a clear understanding of these rules can you thrive in the game and truly reap the benefits.
Fourthly, and most importantly, we must carefully arrange our time to review and study the knowledge of each subject in junior high school, and thoroughly understand and master it so that we can integrate and apply it. Only in this way can we have a good chance of winning the diagnostic test next week.
Although there is only one week left, fortunately, the knowledge of the first year of junior high school is not too difficult. As long as you work hard, there is still much you can do.
