In contrast to Luo Xiang's busyness of investing money all over the world, Song Han, who had been living in seclusion in the small county town, continued to live an uneventful life.
"Song Han, what are you reading?"
Without raising his head, Song Han replied, "Advanced Mathematics, Sixth Edition."
Li Hao leaned over and looked at the densely packed characters in Song Han's book. Just after glancing at them, he felt a rush of profound knowledge surging towards his mind, making his eyelids instantly feel the urge to close.
He shook his head and looked at Song Han, who was concentrating intently, and asked curiously, "You... can you understand it?"
Song Han raised his eyebrows and said confidently, "Isn't this very simple?"
"Then how many points can you get in this final exam?"
"Let's change the topic..."
"Can you really understand it?"
"No, I can't."
Li Hao chuckled with an expression of "I knew it" and said, "Are you going to surf the Internet after school today? I heard that a new Legend game has been released, and it's really fun!"
"Surf the Internet? Play games?"
Song Han somehow thought of the computer in his rental house.
It seemed that since he received the computer as a reward from the system, besides his second brother using it to play games every day, he himself hadn't used it much.
After all, every day, in order to complete the system's learning tasks and reading tasks, it took up all of his time, and there was no free time left for him to play games.
He looked down at the Advanced Mathematics in his hand and thought about the cold money he had accumulated from completing tasks in the past two years. Suddenly, he felt that he had never really owned them.
"Let's go!"
In the dimly lit Internet café, there was the smell of tobacco lingering in the air, and beside the front desk where the network administrator, who was wearing a jacket and sunglasses, stood, there was a three-legged newspaper rack.
Although it was his first time in such a place, Song Han instead had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.
"Network administrator, open two machines next to each other!"
The network administrator, who was wearing a black jacket and still wearing sunglasses in the dim Internet café, was typing away at the game without raising his head and said, "The deposit is 20 yuan. Numbers 16 and 17 are still available."
Sitting in his seat, Song Han didn't even have the urge to turn on the computer for a moment.
Since he decided to come to the Internet café today, everything he had experienced made him feel bored and there was no unexpected novelty.
Wang Hao beside him was concentrating on watching a movie. Song Han frowned and opened the Legend game that Wang Hao had mentioned.
After entering the game, through the control of the keyboard and mouse, he mechanically completed tasks, ran through the map, and then was killed by others...
This kind of fixed and programmed experience really made it difficult for Song Han to get immersed.
In comparison, it seemed that the physical and mental pleasure he got from going home, reading books, and receiving feedback from the system after completing tasks could better stimulate his continuous motivation.
He turned his head and was just about to say hello to Wang Hao when he saw that Wang Hao was concentrating on looking at the ICQ chat window on the screen.
"Are there still people in the class secretly surfing the Internet recently?"
"Yes, Mr. Class Teacher. Today, I found that Song Han secretly went to the Internet café."
"Okay, help me catch a few more. Recently, the grades of several classmates have dropped significantly. They must have gone to the Internet café again!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Class Teacher! With me around, no one in the class who comes to surf the Internet can escape my eyes!"
Suddenly, a pair of hands pressed heavily on Wang Hao's shoulders.
Wang Hao looked up in and saw that Song Han was standing beside him at some point, looking at him with a forced smile.
"I said why I was always caught by the class teacher every time I went to the Internet café. It turns out that there is a traitor like you by my side!
Don't forget that it was you who dragged me to the Internet café today!"
Wang Hao shuddered violently and stammered to explain, "I'm doing it for your own good... Surfing the Internet has a great impact on your studies."
"Then why did you ask me to come today!"
"Recently, I don't know what's going on in the class. No one has been coming to the Internet café. The class teacher has been chasing after me to ask. I just thought that my brother could give me a hand."
"Something's not right!"
Wang Hao suddenly thought of something and asked in confusion, "Today is the first time I've told the class teacher that I brought you to the Internet café. When were you ever caught by the class teacher?"
Wang Hao's words also made Song Han stunned for a moment.
After a while, he shook his head and said, "Don't try to quibble! If you don't give me a good explanation today, I'll let you taste the feeling of being spurned by all the classmates in the class!"
Wang Hao's face changed drastically. He hugged Song Han's arm and pleaded, "Brother Song! Don't do this! I'm really doing it for the good of my classmates. You know that surfing the Internet affects our studies.
Our class's grades have improved this semester, and I've contributed a great deal to it!"
Song Han was unmoved, but he asked somewhat strangely, "Why doesn't the class teacher care about you and only catches us?"
"I'm always the first in the class. Where else can I be affected?"
Song Han thought about it and it made sense. As the perennial bottom-of-the-class last-place finisher, it didn't seem to make any difference whether he surfed the Internet or not.
"A barbecue meal!"
"Okay!"
"I was too careless. I asked for too little!"
...
This accidental little episode didn't affect Song Han's peaceful life. And as his learning progress continued to deepen, after spending three years completing the self-study task of Advanced Mathematics and catching up with the latest mathematical developments, Song Han's learning field began to expand horizontally continuously.
Information, physics, machinery, materials, automation, biomedical engineering...
Looking at the new batch of booklists listed by the system, Song Han instantly felt that his brain was a bit overwhelmed.
"Have you listed all the current engineering subjects?"
"This system is a God of Learning System, not a Top Student System specialized in a single field."
"But to catch up with the latest developments in all these fields through learning, I'll never be able to finish learning even if I study until I die!
Don't you know that the current speed of human knowledge accumulation has far exceeded the learning speed of individual cognition?"
"Therefore, without accumulating small steps, one cannot reach a thousand miles; without accumulating small streams, one cannot form a great river or sea. A swift horse can't leap ten steps at a time; an old nag can travel a long distance because of its perseverance..."
"Stop! Stop! Stop!"
Song Han pleaded for mercy and said, "I can recite 'Encouraging Learning' too, but the total amount of content contained in these subjects completely exceeds the limit that an individual can learn.
If I just study and read books, even if I read for a lifetime, what's the use of catching up with the latest research in the corresponding fields?
Shouldn't we, with my intelligent brain, specialize in one field, lead the technological trend from point to surface, break through the technological blockade, and lead humanity towards the stars and the sea? Isn't that the correct way to use the golden finger in a novel?"
"This system is a God of Learning System!"
"What do you mean?"
"It means that I'm only in charge of the host's learning arrangements. Live and learn."
Song Han:
'Gah~~'
"Just destroy it~ Give up~ You can play by yourself~!
Anyway, you are already a mature system. You will check the information and study by yourself every night."
"Actually, the host can think from another perspective. As long as you read books every day to obtain external information, you can get corresponding rewards and reach the median income level of the average person.
There's no need to worry about unemployment, and no need to look at the boss's face. Is there a more perfect job in the world than this?
Moreover, the fields we need to study have already been pruned. For example, in Advanced Mathematics, the probability theory and mathematical statistics, numerical analysis, and complex variable functions, which require huge and complex calculations, have been removed.
In the engineering category, the corresponding disciplines such as design and manufacturing in all subjects have also been pruned. You only need to study the deep core points of the corresponding fields and understand the principles and formulas of the physical property changes in physics, biology, materials, etc., so that you can have a deeper understanding of the world."
Song Han lay on the bed in a big character shape. Beside the pillow was a thick stack of books covering all fields of Advanced Mathematics that he had just finished reading not long ago. Although the joy of getting rewards from learning activities still kept surging in his mind, there was no trace of the urge to study in the depths of Song Han's heart.
"I'm only 14 years old this year. I've never worked before, nor have I been unemployed. How can I experience the perfect job you mentioned?"
The system was silent for a while and then issued a new task to Song Han:
"The Road of a Minor's Dropping Out of School and Working:
The host's destiny has reached another intersection in the future. The conventional teaching and the existing education system can no longer help the host improve the host's learning efficiency.
Please take the initiative to drop out of school, find a social job within a month, and return to the correct life track.
Task reward: A cash reward of double the corresponding salary standard.
Failure to complete the task will result in the deduction of all system cash rewards."
"Damn you, system!"
Looking at the information in front of him, Song Han immediately jumped up from the bed and said, "You're really a Super God of Learning System! Which decent God of Learning System asks someone to drop out of school and work?"
