Monday.
At the Beijing college entrance examination's question setting team. Everyone was relieved.
"It's finally done!"
"Phew, it wasn't easy at all!"
"It's finally done!"
"I can finally rest for a few days. I'm going to have a good sleep tomorrow!"
"The question setting work this time was too difficult. I won't be joining the question setting team next year. I was so tired that I didn't get a good night's sleep this week."
"In any case, our task has been completed. We can finally relax."
"Yeah, we just have to wait for the college entrance exam to end."
"We're free."
Today was the last day of the deadline. The question setting teams had handed in their tasks. The main and supplementary papers, as well as the alternate questions that were not selected, had all been sorted out and handed over to the higher-ups. At this point, this year's Beijing college entrance examination was basically finalized. The remaining work of screening and making some minor adjustments would be left to the people at the Higher Education Entrance Examination Board. As for which questions should be used and which should not be used, that would be decided by the Higher Education Entrance Examination Board and the higher-ups. It basically had nothing to do with the question setting teachers. Their work had been completed and the only thing left for them to do now was to take a break. Only when the college entrance exam was over would they be able to return home.
Up in the mountains.
Zhang Ye and Su Na were on a morning jog.
Su Na was dressed in sportswear with a towel slung over her shoulder. She was sweating profusely, while Zhang Ye was in a slightly better state. He was not that tired at all. After jogging for a while, his breathing was still rather even.
"I can't take it anymore, I have to walk for a while." Su Na stopped as she could not run anymore. "Teacher Zhang, your stamina is still the best."
Zhang Ye also slowed down his pace. "I'm not that good right now. In the past, I would always exercise in the morning, but I can't do that anymore. Once I get busy with work, I can't care about that anymore. It's only because I've been doing too much mental work that I can run a few laps to relax my mind." His stamina was not that good either, but at least he was much better than Su Na, who did not usually exercise. Zhang Ye still had some kungfu training, even if it was only effective at times.
Su Na smiled as she wiped her sweat with a towel. She asked, "How are you doing now?"
Zhang Ye smiled. "I'm just doing the same. Making shows is still my old profession."
Su Na said in amusement, "What old profession? I don't even know what your old profession is anymore. Math, literature, music, radio, television. Which profession haven't you worked in before? Which one is your old profession? If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten what your profession is. You're really amazing. No matter which profession you go to, you can shine in it. Wherever you go, you're doing well! "
Zhang Ye bragged, "Heh, I don't have any other strong points, but I'm very adaptable."
Su Na said, "I really did not expect the college entrance examination team to look for you this time. I believe many people are not prepared for this either. If the education system is giving you this signal, then you should be able to return to Peking University this year, right? We can't possibly keep suspending your classes. A lot of the students over at Peking University are talking about you. Hur hur, let's not talk about anything else. Just on Peking University's official forums, the students have expressed their hopes for your reinstatement more than once. "
"Is that so?" Zhang Ye was very pleased. "So the students still remember me."
Su Na's tone changed. "However, there are also those who resist you."
Zhang Ye did not understand, "Huh?"
Su Na blinked and chuckled. "You don't know, right? When I woke up this morning, I bumped into some people from the Higher Education Entrance Examination Board. One of them was a college classmate of mine. We chatted a little while while we were eating breakfast. You've become the target of everyone's criticism on the Internet. Do you know which group is boycotting you this time? It's the Beijing college entrance examination candidates and their parents. They're all clamoring for the Higher Education Entrance Examination Board to chase you home. Right now, on the Beijing college entrance examination related forums and Weibo, there's a movement called 'Let Zhang Ye Go Home.' It's said that not only do you have lots of beauties lining up to take a shower, your bedroom is filled with cash, and an ancient tomb of the Tang Dynasty has been discovered. When I heard about it from my classmate, I nearly died of laughter! Your family has already been slandered to the ground! "
Zhang Ye nearly fainted. Only now did he know about the situation outside. "What the heck? They're all boycotting me? So this bro has become a specialized subject of boycotts? Every now and then, something like this happens? "
Su Na said, "Who asked those elementary math questions of yours to be so weird? The examinees were afraid that they would be too difficult, so they came up with this movement. They're all having a really good time. From the examinees to their parents, and even your own fans, everyone is happily slandering you, haha."
Zhang Ye was also speechless. He boasted shamelessly, "Ever since this bro entered the entertainment industry, I've always been walking the path of a male god. Why is it that I'm becoming more and more of a clown now?"
Su Na: "…"
The two of them were idling around as they made their way back to the mountainside.
When they reached the dormitory entrance, they bumped into Dean Pan.
"Teacher Zhang, Little Su, did you go jogging?" Pan Yang waved at them.
Su Na said, "Yes, Dean Pan. Have you eaten?"
Pan Yang smiled and said, "Not yet. I'm saving my stomach for lunch. Oh yes, you guys should get ready as well. Quickly take a shower and get changed. We'll gather at the top of the mountain at 11 AM for a celebratory banquet. Everyone will get together and have some food. The tentative plan is to have an outdoor barbecue.
Su Na asked, "Did the Higher Education Entrance Examination Board organize it?"
Pan Yang said, "No, it's organized by the teachers themselves. It's like this every year, so it's considered a routine activity. As for the purchase of ingredients and whatnot, we'll make a list later. The staff from the Higher Education Entrance Examination Board will go down the mountain to buy them for us. If there's anything you guys would like to eat, feel free to let them know and pass the list to them."
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Sure."
Su Na said, "I just want to drink some iced soda right now."
"We have everything." Dean Pan said, "There's also a program like singing and dancing. Whoever wants to go, please get ready in advance. Don't be late."
Su Na said, "Then you must be punctual!"
… …
It wasn't even 9 AM yet, but there were already people heading to the top of the mountain. However, Zhang Ye was not in a hurry as it was still early. After taking a shower, he changed into a set of casual clothes and strolled over to Building 1. Without the Internet or cell phone, his only leisure activity now seemed to be reading books. There was a library here with a lot of books on literature and history, as well as social sciences. All of them were quite comprehensive, and there were even quite a number of extracurricular books. The library's books were not limited to only those related to the college entrance exam.
There was no one inside. The mission had been completed and everyone had left. There was no one left hustling around to read or search for information. Zhang Ye closed the door and turned on the air-conditioner.
After closing the door and turning on the air conditioner, Zhang Ye sat down. He did not bother with the category of the book and just randomly picked up a book and started reading. Well, to be precise, it could not be described as reading. He was flipping through the pages like a machine. He was very fast. He only took a second to read a page, and after his eyes had captured all the words, he would flip to the second page in the next second. The speed at which he was reading the book was astounding.
"Who's Who in the Song Dynasty."
"Algebraic Geometry Question Bank."
"History of World Music."
"Introduction to Go."
"Portuguese Language: Zero Basics (Part 1)."
And so on and so forth. There was everything.
Which book Zhang Ye would read was not determined by what he was interested in, but by the book he randomly grabbed. It was completely random.
After flipping through more than 20 books, Zhang Ye finally stopped. He quietly activated the game ring on his finger and looked at the large amount of Reputation Points that The Voice's first two episodes had given him. Then he immediately went to the Merchant Shop and spent 10 million Reputation Points to buy 100 Memory Search Capsules. After eating one capsule, he quickly recalled the contents of the first book he had just flipped through and began to memorize them book by book.
In the past, Zhang Ye had always used the Memory Search Capsules to recall the knowledge from his previous world. But now, Zhang Ye knew that this was no longer enough. For example, the unfamiliarity with the college entrance examination had given Zhang Ye a wake-up call. He was still too unfamiliar with this new world. The two worlds were, after all, different. The time of the college entrance examination, the contents of the textbooks, and other aspects were all different. If he continued to follow the common sense and train of thought from his previous world, a lot of things would go wrong. That was why Zhang Ye had long planned to find some time to gain a deeper understanding of this world.
Besides, other than the slight differences between the two worlds, many things were similar. There were many things that Zhang Ye did not learn in his previous world that he could learn in this world. He could not read the books from his previous world and could not go back to them, but there were still books in this world. Then, Zhang Ye could quickly flip through the relevant books or videos and then use the Memory Search Capsules to memorize them, thus achieving an extremely fast learning speed. There were still many days before the college entrance examination and he could not go out during this period, so he could only stay on this mountain. With so much time on his hands, this job was clearly the most suitable one. Time could not be wasted and there were many things that he had to learn.
One book …
Three books …
Five books …
Very quickly, Zhang Ye had already memorized the contents of the five books. He could even recite them backwards and had a deep understanding of them.
Of course, the amount of Memory Search Capsules needed to be used was also extremely large. It required a large amount of Reputation Points to support it. Luckily, Zhang Ye's new program had contributed a large amount of Reputation Points to him, allowing him to spend them endlessly. Zhang Ye did not feel the pinch even if he spent tens of millions of Reputation Points. Reputation Points were still there, but knowledge was different. In comparison, there was nothing to feel the pinch. Besides, only two episodes of The Voice had been broadcast. When the next few episodes were broadcast, there would still be more Reputation Points coming in. He could afford to spend such a large amount of Reputation Points, so the most important thing for Zhang Ye now was to enrich himself and "equip" himself. Knowledge was power, and it was the bridge to becoming an A-list celebrity. What he was doing now was to lay the foundation and make preparations for stepping onto a higher stage!
Six books …
Ten books …
Looking at his watch, it was almost time. Only then did Zhang Ye slowly make his way to the mountaintop to join the celebratory feast that everyone had organized. He was prepared to have a big meal.
