For the sake of a dog's first helmet, Curly Hair had put in a lot of effort to change it.
Fang Zhao's dormitory now had a small cabinet with a few gaming helmets on it. Curly Hair used it to recharge his batteries. Every time he felt annoyed and didn't want to learn, he would stare at Fang Zhao's cabinet. Then, he would be motivated again!
After his house in Yanzhou had been burglarized, Fang Zhao had moved a portion of his belongings. He had brought the rabbit and gaming helmet back to his dormitory. This was strongly requested by Nanfeng. Nanfeng wouldn't feel at ease if he didn't see it with his own eyes, so he came over every day to take a look.
As for the other things in the house, Great-grandfather Fang suggested that they be placed in the retirement facility, especially Fang Zhao's medals and trophies. Great-grandfather Fang would definitely help Fang Zhao guard them. Therefore, after Fang Zhao finished packing, he got Yan Biao to send the items over.
With the stimulation of rewards, Curly Hair's progress was gratifying.
From the vague pronunciation at the beginning, to being able to understand what it was saying, to being able to enunciate the words accurately, all these changes were completed within a week. His ability to control his voice had improved by leaps and bounds. All that was left was to adapt, as well as to be able to freely and accurately switch between languages. He could speak human language when it was time to speak, bark when it was time to bark, and not make the wrong sound at the wrong time.
Originally, it didn't have much enthusiasm for talking. At least, it wasn't enough to motivate it to try its best to change. Now, Fang Zhao had merely placed a bait in front of it, and the dog had become proactive. Look at how much it had changed in the past few days!
This made Fang Zhao ponder a lot. He even guessed that Curly Hair's changes had a lot to do with Curly Hair's wishes. Or could it be that the change was slow to begin with, and the strong will sped up the change?
Whale Island cannibalism, for example.
Another example would be talking now.
Even now, Fang Zhao still did not know how it had eaten an adult without leaving a trace, but Fang Zhao did not doubt the authenticity of this matter.
Every time Fang Zhao asked, Curly Hair would not be able to explain the process. The answer he gave was very simple. "Open your mouth, swallow, and eat if you want to."
This was an unknown species that required proper guidance and a certain degree of control.
Today, when Fang Zhao returned from class, he heard Curly Hair practicing vocalizations. It wasn't the perfunctory kind from before. Those dog eyes were completely serious.
"Chicken leg, gophers, beef …"
Complete the pronunciation of the words for today, and then read a short passage with emotion. Curly Hair couldn't wait to show Fang Zhao his results when he saw the "A +" score.
"Fang Zhao! I've gotten an A + for five days in a row! Yesterday and the day before yesterday, he also performed well when he went out for a walk. There were no language switching errors! Can I get the helmet now? "
Curly Hair's eyes widened in anticipation.
Fang Zhao looked at its results for the day and nodded. "It's settled."
Now, Curly Hair's speech wasn't particularly smooth, and his vocabulary wasn't large either. Fortunately, he wasn't as stiff as he had been at the beginning. The high-frequency mechanical sounds and the high-speed whizzing of the motor were also completely gone. Indeed, they could proceed to the next stage.
Fang Zhao opened up the online ordering page for the learning machine. He had already asked the person in charge of the exhibition counter and the ordering page had been saved. Now that Curly Hair had fulfilled the initial requirements, Fang Zhao opened up the customization page in front of Curly Hair.
After choosing the model, there was a free design module on the customization page. There were many choices, and the customer could choose the colors and patterns according to their preferences.
"Take a look yourself. What colors and patterns do you like? What words do you want to carve?"
Curly Hair wagged his tail and went over.
This was the first helmet in its entire life!
Curly Hair even referenced the few gaming helmets in Fang Zhao's collection cabinet for the patterns. Together with his paw prints and teeth marks, he engraved the two words "Curly Hair".
After Curly Hair was done, Fang Zhao submitted it for a preliminary review. After passing, it was shown that he could manufacture it. After payment was made, all that was left was to receive the goods.
There was a queue for the customization, and it was two days later.
Fang Zhao retrieved the package and brought it back to his dormitory. Curly Hair was already waiting by the door.
When Fang Zhao opened the package, the words on the box were revealed.
Curly Hair: dumbfounded dog face.
Learning machine?
"What's a learning machine?"
Why isn't it a gaming console? There isn't even a Fiery Bird logo!
He suddenly had an ominous premonition.
"Why does it look like a gaming console?"
Curly Hair tilted his head as he read the product name on the box. His eyes were filled with doubt.
Fang Zhao's expression didn't change. "They are cousins."
"Gaming consoles aren't the only things that look like helmets. There is also a learning machine. We have to proceed step by step. " Fang Zhao told Curly Hair, "Learning machine — gaming console — intelligent terminal. This is a process of usage. At this stage, you will first use the learning machine. As for when you can enter the second stage and use the gaming console, that will depend on your performance."
Although this learning machine was different from what Curly Hair had expected, the gaming console and intelligent terminal that Fang Zhao had mentioned were too attractive!
It was as if there was a huge meaty bone in front of him. Curly Hair had to chew on the smaller bone in front of him before he could chew on the bigger bone in front of him!
As for now, a learning machine was a learning machine.
"Can you play games?" Curly Hair asked.
"Yes," Fang Zhao replied.
"Can you connect to the internet?"
"Yes."
Curly Hair was delighted again. He circled around the box and urged Fang Zhao to hurry up and open it. He was going to see the first helmet that belonged to him in his entire life! Even if this was just a gaming console's cousin, he wouldn't despise it!
For a dog that had just been allowed to access the internet, even a learning machine was enough to make him excited.
When the learning machine with Curly Hair's teeth marks, paw prints, and name came out of the box, Curly Hair stuck onto it. Just like Fang Zhao's other gaming helmets, Curly Hair started using his own method of binding.
Back then, Curly Hair knew that those gaming helmets had been stolen because he hadn't bound the gaming helmets to the gaming consoles but to the collection shelves. That was how he knew the movements of the items in the collection shelves. The process was still a little hazy. Staring — — Seems like I can bind — — Binding successful.
Now, Curly Hair was already a formidable dog and knew how to bind his own helmet.
After binding, Curly Hair's journey with the learning machine began. Fang Zhao let Curly Hair use the learning machine to learn more words.
The learning machine provided a certain degree of freedom in searching.
That's right, it was a "certain degree"!
After all, it was still a learning machine. Even if it was connected to the internet, there were age restrictions. After parents set up restrictions, content above that age wouldn't be able to view. In short, it was still within the scope of minors.
After Curly Hair put on the learning machine and entered learning mode, he searched for words related to dogs in the search box and read along. Making sounds was a daily practice that Fang Zhao had stipulated. It was different from the previous fixed curriculum. Now that he had the learning machine, he had a greater degree of freedom.
Curly Hair read along as he looked at the displayed words.
"A dog relying on its master's power. A dog has the guts to jump over the wall. A dog's leg …"
Fang Zhao watched from the side for a while before settling his own matters. However, he was constantly paying attention to Curly Hair's situation.
Buying the learning machine was also a form of restraint. Fang Zhao had to keep a close eye on an unknown creature like Curly Hair to prevent him from going astray and letting himself loose.
If he wasn't restrained, this dog would probably go crazy.
After two days of observation, Fang Zhao realized that Curly Hair didn't show any signs of rejection towards the learning machine. Perhaps it was because this was the first helmet in his life and he had some special feelings for it. Or perhaps it was because he hadn't encountered any difficulties and learning was like a game to him.
There were new lessons in the learning machine every day and quizzes would be generated according to the progress of learning. Games and quizzes would be graded A, B, and C. For games that were difficult for many kids, such as Sudoku and crossword puzzles, Curly Hair was very good at them and received an A +. Guessing games weren't that impressive and were basically between B and C-, but he was interested.
These were just "mini-games between classes." Every time the learning machine was used, or at set intervals, a mini-game would appear. These mini-games were generated based on the knowledge learned that day. For example, crossword puzzles involved poems that had been learned that day or in the past few days.
However, when Fang Zhao asked about his feelings, Curly Hair replied:
"I still prefer the game console."
"Then you have to work hard," Fang Zhao said.
"What do I need to do?"
"First, you have to graduate from secondary school."
Of course, he couldn't go straight to school. He didn't need a graduation certificate. There were settings in the learning machine. All he had to do was reach secondary school graduation standards.
Curly Hair learned very quickly, but Fang Zhao discovered that this dog was biased towards subjects!
Science subjects, as well as history and geography, he learned them quickly. However, he was terrible at language.
Sometimes, Curly Hair was like a high-speed computing machine. His ability to process data and store memories was astonishing. It wasn't something a human brain could compare to. Furthermore, his computing speed was still increasing.
After completing the math test papers and seeing the A +, Curly Hair bounced a few times, wagged his tail, and stuck out his tongue as he laughed, as if he had already begun his glorious dog life.
However, he was stumped by reading comprehension. Reading comprehension had caused him to doubt his dog life.
Rote memorization was fine, but when it came to reading comprehension and composition, he wilted.
In Curly Hair's opinion, reading comprehension in modern literature was already difficult enough. Reading comprehension in ancient poetry was simply demonic!
Curly Hair cried when he didn't even get a C- once again.
"Reading comprehension is too difficult. Wah — —
I'm just a dog. Why do I have to learn all this?
My dog brain can't understand the thoughts of these literati. When they stir up emotions, it's even harder to understand than a knee jerk reflex! How would I know what they want to express?! "
Curly Hair didn't want to learn all this. He felt that it wasn't necessary. He was just a dog. He didn't need to go to school, nor did he really need a graduation certificate. What was the point of learning language?
Fang Zhao replied solemnly to Curly Hair's whining about why he wanted to learn language, "To better survive in human society."
Fang Zhao hoped that through this learning process, Curly Hair would be able to better understand the bright and dark thoughts of human society. He hoped that he would be able to distinguish between good and bad words. He hoped that Curly Hair would be able to tell which were insinuations and which were just half-hearted excuses.
"Didn't the teaching materials you read yesterday say, 'If you can't speak or write, you won't go far, and you won't live long.' Therefore, even if you don't like it, you still have to learn. You have to read all the recommended books every week. Read slowly."
Curly Hair read quickly. His computer-like brain was different from humans and couldn't be viewed with common sense.
After being lectured, Curly Hair sank into deep thought. He pondered Fang Zhao's words over ten times, especially the phrase "To better survive in human society." He directly carved it into his brain. He felt that this phrase was very important and had to be comprehended carefully.
After pondering for half a day, he understood.
Curly Hair felt that he had finally fully understood the meaning of Fang Zhao's words.
If he learned all this well, he would be able to act like a human on the internet!
For example, when he played games and connected to the microphone.
