Study Monster Cultivation System
Chapter 29: Second half, here I come!
Jiang Qinghua also shuddered.
The BGM collapsed instantly.
The physiological fear forcibly dispelled the chill in his heart.
"I'm fine." He kicked the ground and retreated, getting up awkwardly.
"Heh, just kidding." Qiao Bixia laughed heartily, wiping the drool from the corner of her mouth, "Still think you can take advantage of me?"
Jiang Qinghua's chest hurt, but he clutched his abdomen.
Then he looked at Li Zheng.
The latter nodded steadily, "You, not good enough."
Jiang Qinghua shook his head and laughed stubbornly, "Just one ball, don't get cocky, watch me beat you today."
Li Zheng rubbed his hands eagerly.
At this moment, Liu Xin ran back.
"Teacher Qiao said, if we make it to the final four in the basketball game, he'll let me off." Liu Xin flapped his arms like a large moth and jumped up, "Let's get practicing!"
"Stop yapping, go for the inside line." Jiang Qinghua scolded.
"Let's go."
"Hmph, now it's getting interesting." Qiao Bixia followed closely.
The game restarted.
With each run.
Jiang Qinghua's sweat got hot again, and his energy came back.
Just now was just a small break.
Second half, here I come!
...
The sun was setting, and there were few people left on the playground.
Six people sat on the sidelines, drinking large gulps of water, chatting about each game they just played.
Qiao Bixia: "Not bad, Oil Barrel, today's match was quite a thrill."
Liu Xin: "We'll continue tomorrow night, let's see if I can't handle you."
Xu Mengxi: "Haha, Jingjing played really confidently today, too."
"Hmm!"
Li Zheng: "That wasn't a block, just a fingertip graze..."
"~~~"
Jiang Qinghua: "..."
Unconsciously, everyone had fulfilled their wishes.
Lin Yujing successfully blocked Li Zheng.
Li Zheng managed to relax completely.
Liu Xin grew through his confrontation with Qiao Bixia.
Qiao Bixia helped Lin Yujing rediscover the fun in basketball.
Xu Mengxi got to exercise.
Jiang Qinghua gained some life insights.
Though a bit painful.
On the other hand, Li Zheng, who fully enjoyed the game, also received a tremendous vitality boost.
After all, it was triple relaxation from Lin Yujing, Xu Mengxi, and Qiao Bixia.
Thankfully, Qiao Bixia's attention was entirely focused on Liu Xin, avoiding too many side effects.
After this intense battle, he felt even more motivated to study.
...
The next morning.
Just before Li Zheng left the house, he discovered two hundred-yuan bills on the shoe cabinet.
He quietly pocketed them.
After securing the money, he looked at the replies.
[Teacher Hu has been hospitalized, don't worry, within shooting range.]
[Five hundred yuan, buy some stationery, if it's not enough, ask for more.]
[As for chemistry, I can't help you.]
[I seem to get full marks just by flipping through the book.]
[Sorry, I have no recollection at all.]
[You better ask a classmate who's good at chemistry.]
[XD]
[Today's golden quote:]
[Genius is like this, lifelong effort results in genius.]
[This quote is from Mendeleev, who created the world's first periodic table of elements.]
[—Li Yi]
[2018.10.12, 05:15]
After reading the post, Li Zheng didn't memorize the golden quote.
Instead, he repeatedly checked the shoe cabinet.
Where's the promised five hundred yuan?
Soon, he found a follow-up post nearby.
This time it was written in cursive.
[Just happened to be out of cash, took three hundred.]
[Old Li, take good care of Teacher Hu, make the cuts clean.]
[Li Zheng, go easy when you leave, your mom's inside adjusting her sleep schedule.]
[This golden quote is too weak, check out your mom's—]
[Physics is like sex, while it may yield practical results, that's not why we do it.]
[—My forever idol, Feynman.]
[Did you see that clearly?]
[This, is what you call, a golden quote.]
[Appreciate it, savor it slowly.]
[—An Ning]
[2018.10.12, 06:37]
Damn it!
Li Zheng swore under his breath.
The lost three hundred yuan.
Really, damn it.
His mom can be fiercer than her son.
But Feynman's quote…
was really profound.
Studying is the same, while it can bring some results.
But that's not why I like it.
Hmm, he decided to keep this quote.
Wonder if using it in an essay would earn extra points from Teacher Xiao Tang.
Li Zheng then picked up his pen and replied to the post.
[To Old Li:]
[Heh, this is your last time, acting tough about chemistry with me.]
[Today's golden quote, definitely gets a bad review.]
[As for Teacher Hu, you must handle it personally, don't let your stand-in Cheng Wenyue do it.]
[The cuts must be clean and precise.]
[Finally, about the three hundred yuan that got diverted, transfer it to me on WeChat.]
[To Ning'er:]
[Listen clearly.]
[—Li Zheng]
[2018.10.12, 07:01]
Bam!!!
Li Zheng slammed the door heavily.
Then sprinted out.
Just as he got on his bike, his WeChat buzzed.
[An Ning: You've got guts, just wait.]
Li Zheng was not scared at all.
Even snatching your son's stationery money.
Serves you right.
Besides, by the time he got back from school, Ning'er would probably have gone on another business trip.
After all, they were a mother and son on Tieba.
...
This morning was uneventful.
Before 7:20, Li Zheng reached school and secured the most convenient bike parking spot.
As he entered the school gate, there were hardly any people.
Perfect, he avoided Sun Xiubin flawlessly.
He walked straight up to the second floor, opened the classroom door, and neatly arranged his review materials in the empty classroom.
Finally, he could have a peaceful early self-study session.
After two consecutive days of basketball, the soreness in his body had eased a bit.
Hmm, I must have gotten stronger.
He flexed his fingers and opened his pencil case.
At the same time, he checked his study status.
[Li Zheng]
[Basic science learning stage (pending upgrade)]
[Chinese: 94][Math: 110↑][English: 92]
[Physics: 102][Chemistry: 74↑][Biology: 86↓]
[Today's vitality value: 0/29, 28 times speed.]
Strangely, he hadn't even done his math homework yesterday, yet his math score improved by 1 point.
Biology had been neglected, dropping by 1 point.
Could it be that intelligence was improving, but memory was declining?
Rowing upstream, not advancing means retreating.
Indeed, lifelong learning is the way.
For now, the most important subject was chemistry since he had improved by 9 points in just one day of study yesterday.
After relaxing excessively yesterday, he accumulated 29 hours of vitality value.
11 points to reach the goal, he had a good chance to complete the task.
But studying had diminishing returns, the further he went, the harder it got.
These 29 hours must be meticulously planned.
Come on, let's make a study plan first.
Li Zheng rubbed his hands together as he opened his notebook, full of anticipation.
Making a study plan was very satisfying.
Just like planning your character in an online game, because it allowed for endless imagination, this process was often more enjoyable than the game itself.
For today's chemistry study plan, Li Zheng divided the time into three parts.
1: Master Xu Mengxi's study strategies and refine them into his own mind maps. (7 hours)
2: Consolidate by doing exercises. (7 hours)
3: Consult Teacher Sun Leyang at noon, then proceed based on his chemistry scores at the time.
If far from the goal, he would use the violent advance learning method, starting next semester and senior year's content.
This method, although effective, would be counterproductive without a solid foundation and yield superficial results.
If the score was close to the 20-point improvement goal, he would continue with exercises, focusing on high-difficulty problems to fully understand the chemistry content to date.
Based on yesterday's experience, to ensure flexibility, Li Zheng allocated 15 hours for this part, including normal class hours.
With the plan complete, his anticipation for studying was maxed out.
Today's study session was eagerly awaited as always.
