Chapter 055: Sydney's Awesome Talent and Direction
Next, everything seemed to be calm again.
With the rapid implementation of the government's supportive policies to encourage foreign trade factories to switch to domestic sales, suspended factories have gradually reopened, and most workers have jobs again.
Even though the wages are still much lower than before, the workload has also decreased, and the workers' resentment is not so great.
And to be honest, the chaos before really scared everyone.
The society has been stable for decades, so no one would have thought that a seemingly simple demonstration could cause such serious chaos.
Half of the commercial street that was burned down due to untimely rescue efforts has not yet been completely cleaned up. Insurance companies are jumping on the bandwagon and criticizing the city, and the jail cells of all police stations are full to capacity.
I guess the courts have been very busy in recent months.
On the way home from school, while riding his bicycle with Xue Li, Alvin looked at the closed shops on the roadside and couldn't help but shake his head.
"The economic crisis seems to be more terrifying than the monster..."
The current support policies are typical of treating the symptoms rather than the root cause.
To be honest, the root cause of this crisis is that the shipping of various countries has been disrupted by monsters, and it is difficult to maintain the original global trade. Therefore, if the problem of monsters is not solved, the situation will not improve.
As for the transformation and internal digestion, it will not be successful in a short time.
There is a big question mark over whether even the weak democratically elected president of the United States has the determination to complete such reforms that will affect countless interest groups.
"I hope everything gets better as soon as possible... I also hope to participate in the competition and get system rewards!"
As if hearing Ivan's heartfelt voice, Xue Li, who was sitting sideways on the back seat of the bicycle, suddenly asked:
"Alvin, there is news from the school that when will the martial arts competitions in Aldevon County be resumed?"
"There's still no movement for the time being, so it's not impossible to cancel it."
"Really? It would be a shame if it was cancelled."
Hearing this, Xue Li suddenly looked worried.
After all, with someone who can cut monsters as well as mowing grass, he is very likely to win the championship in the martial arts competition, and even the subsequent national competition is definitely expected to compete for rankings.
By then, with enough honors, Ivan is likely to be favored by those prestigious schools. He will receive a special recruitment invitation in his sophomore year of high school and break out of the cruel college entrance examination in advance.
This was once the path Sydney most wanted to take.
After all, she had long realized that she was not smart, at least not for college entrance examinations.
Obviously her parents are top students who graduated from prestigious universities, but her age and grades have always hovered between the fifth and sixth hundred.
Not to mention the key points at this level, whether you can get into college is actually unknown.
Under such circumstances, she had been extremely eager to be able to cut through difficulties and obstacles with the sharp sword in her hand, and finally was specially recruited by a good university to make her father and mother who are already in heaven proud of her.
pity…
In the first strength test after recruiting a new member of the martial arts club, she was severely beaten.
Even in the girls' group, there were seven or eight girls in the same grade who were stronger than her, so in the end she didn't even get the status of a semi-reserve for the martial arts school team.
This is simply a shame for the Mu family, whose ancestors once produced sword masters.
So she has always been very, very envious of Alvin and regards him as the person in her dreams.
He is extremely talented in martial arts, his strength is beyond imagination, he is at the forefront of his studies, he is steady and reliable in all situations...
When there was no one around, the little deer sighed countless times, "It would be great if I could do the same!"
But in the end, it all turned into a sigh.
Suddenly he found that there was no sound behind him, and Aiwen felt a little strange.
Turning to look at Xue Li, he found that the girl's body was filled with a strange emotion.
Sad, unwilling, envious?
The mixture of multiple emotions, which seemed to be related to himself, immediately left him confused.
I can't participate in the competition, why are you so sad? And what's the point of being unwilling and envious?
His ability is limited and he really can't read minds. He can only sigh, don't guess what a woman is thinking, even a little deer.
However, he suddenly remembered something and couldn't help asking Xue Li:
"Sydney, the midterm test is coming in mid-November. How are you preparing?"
"What midterm...wait, midterm test?!"
A certain student Zhali, who was originally filled with depression and had a heavy heart, heard this word that seemed to have endless murderous intent, and his head suddenly buzzed.
For students with poor academic performance, what is the most terrifying thing? It is estimated that 80% of them will answer - exams.
Now, the girl feels more panicked than when she faced the monster.
During this period of time, there were so many messy things going on that she completely forgot about reviewing.
Although I have been able to improve a little bit by doing homework with Ai Wen recently, I have almost forgotten what I learned before!
"What to do? What to do!"
Feeling the deer behind him keep twisting and turning in panic on the seat, and a certain softness kept running across his back. Alvin, who suddenly felt a little thirsty, couldn't help coughing.
"Um... do you need me to tell you the previous knowledge points again?"
When the girl heard this, she was immediately overjoyed, like a drowning person grasping for the last life-saving straw, and nodded hurriedly and crazily.
"Okay! Okay! Everything depends on you, Alvin!"
"Don't panic, the car is about to overturn!"
The two of them returned to the gym, fighting and noisy.
As soon as he walked to the door, Ivan heard bursts of "hum" and "ha" coming from the training ground that had been silent for many days.
Since it had been decided to hold short-term training courses, the owner of the restaurant thought that since it was already open, it would be better to completely reopen the business.
However, considering that there has been some chaos outside recently and it is difficult to control the safety of primary school students, in the end only junior high and high school classes were resumed.
Some students who had returned earlier had already arrived before the two of them and were doing warm-up exercises under the guidance of Rand and other instructors.
Ignoring the gossipy looks from the students, Aiwen followed Xue Li up to the second floor with ease, then sat down in the study on the left, took out his homework book, and started doing his homework.
Normally, Xue Li would just cheat and copy Alvin's homework. After all, the progress of each class was almost the same, and the exercise books were the same, but they were all missing the answer part.
But perhaps thinking that the midterm test was coming soon, she actually took it seriously and did it on her own today.
But the results...
"This question is so difficult..."
"Hey, have you ever been taught by this type of teacher?"
"Wait! Have I encountered this problem before? How did I solve it?"
…
After performing a wonderful stand-up comedy by herself, Xue*Zhazha*li finally decided to give up.
"Ah ah... I can't do it, my head is going to explode!"
The fawn whose health bar was cleared directly hit the desk with a duang sound, and then the whole body couldn't help but swayed up and down several times, and finally stopped moving as if it was dead.
Ai Wen couldn't help but sigh when he saw this.
"Let me teach you."
The girl in front of me is good at everything, not to mention her appearance, personality, and background. She really has no talent except for studying.
Obviously, his father had a bookcase full of philosophy books that were almost torn through, and his mother left at least a hundred advanced mathematics books in the library on the third floor. As a result, as the daughter of two advanced intellectuals, Sydney did not inherit any of her parents' IQ.
It is estimated that most of the attribute points of this fawn should have been added to the charm, and the remaining bits and pieces were shared by Li Minai.
"I just won't turn people into DND warlocks. Otherwise, this stupid deer will definitely be a super excellent pure charm embryo. He can awaken according to circumstances and cast spells based on his face..."
Of course, although he was complaining in his heart, his movements were not slow at all.
Pulling the coquettish Xueli up, and briefly reading through the parts she didn't know how to understand, Ivan started to talk to her about the topic, and then talked about the corresponding knowledge points.
Outside the door, Qianwei, who originally planned to give some fruit to the two of them, looked at this extremely harmonious scene through the crack in the door. After hesitating for a few seconds, she silently turned around and left.
At this moment, her mood was very complicated.
I can’t tell you what it feels like, it can include relief, anger, reluctance, and maybe even a trace of envy.
But in the end, she was still happy for her junior sister.
It can be seen from some small details that this boy will be a very caring and caring man in the future.
My wife would probably be very happy to entrust Xue Li to such a person...
