Worrying at the moment was useless, and he put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind. Shen Chi looked at the borrowed Chinese medicine books in his hand and secretly encouraged himself: "Upgrade, upgrade quickly."
After taking the persimmons handed to him by his grandma, Shen Chi returned to the room and continued reading.
Now that his attributes have improved and he has the photographic memory skill, he can read books faster and faster.
It took Shen Chi less than five days to finish reading three more books. Seeing that there were still a few days left before school, and he could brush up on the knowledge points one last time, he quietly asked his grandma for 20 cents. This time Shen Chi went to the library alone and bought three more books on Chinese medicine.
This time Shen Chi picked a book called "Baopuzi", which was written by Ge Hong in the Jin Dynasty. It contains instructions on breathing, refining qi and maintaining health.
After choosing the book, Shen Chi didn't want to cause trouble, so he went to the passenger terminal early to wait.
As the last few days of school approached, Shen Chi seemed to be in seclusion. He was either reading or practicing calligraphy every day. Finally, the day before registration, he gained enough experience to upgrade. Shen Chi quickly upgraded and broke through to the eleventh level.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for reaching level 11 and obtaining the skill refining technique. 】
Obtained a skill! Shen Chi was shocked and quickly opened the system to check the effect of the refining technique.
Refining Technique: Elementary, it can extract plant essence from plants and refine spiritual liquid.
Extracting herbal essence from plants? Shen Chi suddenly thought of the alchemy mentioned in "Baopuzi". Isn't its function just to refine all the medicinal properties of medicinal materials?
Shen Chi plans to try this refining technique soon.
After getting two more talent points, Shen Chi is now thinking about how to add talent points. Among the books he borrowed, the only one he has not finished yet is "Baopuzi". Shen Chi found that he couldn't understand this book at all. , the system did not give him any knowledge points.
It was just a reminder that with his current intelligence, he was still unable to understand the profound meaning of the book.
This was the first time Shen Chi encountered this situation. After thinking about it for a while, Shen Chi added all two points of talent to his intelligence.
A cool breath rushed straight to his forehead, and the feeling that made people cry came again. He felt a sense of emptiness in his mind, and Shen Chi picked up "Baopuzi" again and read it.
When Shen Chi read other books, it was as fast as scanning and taking pictures, but when reading "Baopuzi", the speed returned to normal, even a few minutes slower than ordinary people reading books.
Fortunately, this time the system did not prompt any more prompts about being incomprehensible due to lack of intelligence. I didn’t even see a fifth of it all morning, and it seemed that I couldn’t finish it today.
I originally planned to read these books before the start of school, but I didn't expect "Baopuzi" to be so profound.
Shen Chi studied "Baopuzi" and even forgot to test the refining technique.
The next day was registration time, and Shen Changlin took his siblings to the school to register. The campus, which had been silent for two months, finally became lively again.
On the playground, teachers of all grades lined up with desks, and parents took their report cards to the corresponding grade groups to sign up.
Shen Chi saw that the parents of some classmates were carrying millet to pay for school fees. The first-grade class he studied in was used as a temporary granary, and the harvested millet was packed there.
Shen Changlin squeezed to the registration office for fifth grade to register for Shen Chi. The teacher saw that he was Shen Chi's father and chatted with him about Shen Chi enthusiastically. Only then did people in Qishan Village know that Shen Chi had skipped a grade.
Although I was skipped to the third grade before, because I was transferred midway, the children in the village didn't tell me when I went back, so no one knew about it.
All the parents who signed up this time came. Originally, during the summer vacation, Shen Chi helped his parents plant rice seedlings and cultivate the fields. He was very sensible. People in the village envied Shen Changlin and his wife for giving birth to a sensible and obedient son. Now, seeing other people’s children studying, they are still smart. , I felt even more envious.
"Chang Lin, that's good. Your Xiao Chi is so smart that he skipped a grade and is now in the same grade as my Shi Tou." Shi Tou's father, Yuan Jiaomin, smiled at Shen Changlin.
"Children work hard on their own." Shen Changlin was modest. Under the eyes of everyone praising and admiring, Shen Changlin signed up for Shen Fang again.
Even before school officially started, the news about Shen Chi skipping a grade spread throughout Qishan Village. For a time, Shen Chi became a typical child of other families. Parents in Qishan Village made fun of Shen Chi when they were training their children. On "Look at how Shen Chi behaves"...
Shen Chi, on the other hand, did not listen to what was going on outside the window and only focused on brushing up on knowledge points.
School officially started the next day, and the classrooms where food was previously stored were vacated, and the rows of low black tiles welcomed their new owners.
The first day of school is the opening ceremony as usual, followed by cleaning and general cleaning. Brooms, rags, and water buckets are all brought by the students from home.
The last step is to collect the textbooks for the new semester with the payment receipt, then go home from school and officially start class the next day.
In the new semester, Shen Chi was assigned to the second class of fifth grade. The previous sixth grade students graduated and left. It was from this year that there was no need to line up to go home after school. Everyone walked together in small groups.
Also starting from this year, the residents next to the school each set up a small stall at the door, selling fruit peels, sour plum powder, and candies that looked like round beads. Two of them cost a penny, and they had to pay for them. Pick with a small spoon.
Of course, the most popular ones are melon seeds and summer popsicles.
Popsicles cost five cents each and are placed in a foam box wrapped with cotton wool. Melon seeds are available in bags, costing two cents a bag. Of course, everyone’s favorite is to buy them in bulk, either in bamboo tubes or small medicine bottles. Melon seeds.
It costs only a dime a tube or a bottle, and some stall owners will grab a small handful more in order to boost business. These vulgar delicacies are the most delicious things those born in the 1980s have eaten in their childhood.
Starting from this year, something called Western painting appeared on the market almost overnight.
This kind of foreign painting has twenty-five small sheets on a board, each small sheet is about the size of a matchbox, with figures such as "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea" or "Water Margin" painted on them.
The gameplay is to carefully cut these characters along the lines without cutting them, otherwise others will not want them.
After cutting, the two people each take out one or two pieces. One person puts one on the front and the other puts it on the back. The two sides use rock, paper, scissors to decide who takes the first shot.
If all two cards are turned tails, you win, and both sides will each play one according to the previous example.
When two people come out, they will do the same as when they came out one, one facing forward and the other facing backwards. The two sides press each other and stack the foreign paintings staggered. Each side takes two pictures. According to the prior agreement, either all the pictures will be taken upright or all in reverse. , or as long as all the shots are heads and tails, you will be considered a winner.
This kind of game is called "shooting foreign paintings". If you are unlucky or have poor skills, you will lose dozens of pictures a day.
With the popularity of Transformers cartoons later, Western paintings also introduced Transformers character paintings. The post-80s generation gave Western paintings more ways to play, one of which is comparing sizes.
For example, Hercules can defeat Hercules, Hercules can defeat all robots that cannot be combined, Optimus Prime's Energy Poké can defeat all robots, and there are also Stasis, Big Elf, and Elf.
According to this set of rules, both sides will draw a foreign painting at the same time, and then turn it over to see whose painting is better. The one who is more powerful will win the other's painting. This chapter has been completed!
