Yu Xiaohong pretended to ignore the note and called out in his mind, "System."
In those novels, the system was able to communicate and even tease people.
But this system did not respond at all.
It seemed to be an introverted system, unwilling to communicate with people.
Helpless, Yu Xiaohong had to experiment with other functions of the system on his own.
He suddenly pulled out a high school math textbook from the drawer.
The classmates around him were all dumbfounded when they saw this scene. They couldn't believe that a genius would be reading a math book during an English class.
"Ding! Flip through the high school math textbook, Mathematics Ability +1, Current Progress 1/10, Current Level: Beginner."
Yu Xiaohong consecutively took out textbooks for other subjects, and as expected, the system would give a prompt every time he flipped through them.
After a round of flipping, his abilities in all subjects, just like English, were all raised to the level of mastery.
He was confident that as long as he gave himself one night, he would be able to learn the entire first year curriculum.
A faint smile appeared on Yu Xiaohong's lips as his heart filled with excitement. With this system, his life would no longer be ordinary!
During this process, Zhang Xuewei's gaze continued to look in his direction, unable to focus on the class.
But Yu Xiaohong continued to ignore her, leaving her quite frustrated.
She even looked in the mirror and began to doubt her own charm.
After school in the afternoon, Yu Xiaohong packed all the textbooks into his bag and planned to go home with his bulging backpack.
The advantage of a private middle school was that there was no evening self-study.
Just as he finished packing his bag, he noticed that Zhang Xuewei stood up and followed him. She lowered her head, biting her lip tightly, and nervously fiddled with the corner of her clothes.
Yu Xiaohong was 1.75 meters tall while Zhang Xuewei was 1.62 meters tall. From this angle, he could see Zhang Xuewei's fair neck and a hint of girlish charm.
Yu Xiaohong's heart fluttered, but his face remained cold. "Zhang classmate, is there something you need? If not, I'm leaving."
Zhang Xuewei lifted her head, her watery eyes focused on Yu Xiaohong. "Yu classmate, I remember we happen to be going the same way, want to walk together? I just happen to have some questions I want to ask Yu classmate."
Yu Xiaohong sighed inwardly. He had said the same thing to Zhang Xuewei a few days ago, but all he got was a disdainful look.
Now the situation was reversed, and it was Zhang Xuewei who was asking for his help.
Ironically.
But he didn't refuse Zhang Xuewei, he just nodded faintly.
Zhang Xuewei immediately clapped her hands happily and slung her backpack on her back, following Yu Xiaohong with a cheerful smile.
Miss Zhang, Zhang Xuewei's mother, was standing by the school gate of Zhicai Middle School. She would always go home with Zhang Xuewei every day.
When she saw Zhang Xuewei walking over from a distance, she waved her hand.
But when she saw that there was a boy walking beside Zhang Xuewei, her face immediately darkened.
What she couldn't accept the most was that Zhang Xuewei had a boyfriend, because she worried it would affect her studies.
However, when the two approached, and she saw that the boy was Yu Xiaohong, Miss Zhang's expression became extremely unnatural.
Clearly, she hadn't forgotten about the shadow in the classroom.
"Mom, I'm going to walk with Yu classmate for a bit. I have a few questions I want to ask him."
Zhang Xuewei smiled and Yu Xiaohong smiled silently beside her.
"Oh, so it's like this. Since you're walking with Yu classmate, then I'll be relieved. Remember to come home early."
"Don't worry, Mom!"
Watching the two figures walk away, Miss Zhang suddenly realized, three people can also ask questions together, right?
She smiled wryly and shook her head. Yesterday, this girl had complained to her at home, but now her attitude had made a complete 180-degree turn. Women really are fickle.
During the journey, Zhang Xuewei constantly asked Yu Xiaohong about the secret behind his sudden improvement in academics.
But Yu Xiaohong always beat around the bush and didn't directly answer her.
This kind of behavior not only didn't anger Zhang Xuewei, but instead made Yu Xiaohong even more mysterious in her eyes.
"Yu classmate... can I just call you Ahong? Calling you Yu classmate all the time feels too distant. We're desk mates, after all."
"Of course, you can. I'll just call you Xuewei from now on. Xuewei, like a rose in the snow, it suits your temperament."
After hearing such blunt words, Zhang Xuewei's face instantly turned red, and she softly protested, "Hmph, I don't have any temperament."
"Ding! Using words to make a girl's heart feel delighted, Flirting Skill +1, Current Progress: 1/10, Current Level: Beginner."
Damn, this can also be enhanced?
This system is really awesome!
Although Zhang Xuewei wanted to spend more time with Yu Xiaohong, the two of them had already arrived at her home, so there was no reason to continue clinging to him.
Zhang Xuewei bid Yu Xiaohong goodbye somewhat disappointedly, but when she thought about seeing him again the next day, a smile returned to her face.
...
In a food street in the DC district of Anming County, there was a small snack shop that didn't attract much attention, named "Night Snack".
The shop was small, and the decor was relatively old-fashioned.
Although it was mealtime, there were not many customers in the shop.
As Yu Xiaohong stood in front of Night Snack, he shouted in his heart, "With this system, no one can shout at me anymore!"
"Brat! What are you doing over there? Hurry up and come help!"
A high-pitched female voice, like a cannonball, exploded in Yu Xiaohong's ear.
Yu Xiaohong instantly lost his momentum and walked into the shop with his head drooped. "Mom, there are so few customers, why do you still need my help?"
That's right, Yu Xiaohong was the "young owner" of Night Snack.
This snack shop was passed down from Yu Xiaohong's grandfather and is now run by his parents.
But it was obvious that his parents didn't have much talent for running the business, and the business of this snack shop was getting worse every day.
In order to allow Yu Xiaohong to enter the prestigious Zhicai Middle School, the couple bit the bullet and used up most of their life savings.
Yu Xiaohong silently swore to himself: I was not capable before, but now with the system, I must help my family change their situation!
"Even if there are few customers, you still need to learn. This shop will be handed over to you in the future. Don't be as useless as your father!"
A middle-aged woman wearing a scarf walked out of the kitchen with a plate of beef noodles and nagged at Yu Xiaohong.
The woman had a slightly plump figure, but her face was well maintained, fair and flawless, not like the mother of a sixteen-year-old boy at all.
This woman was Yu Xiaohong's mother, An Xiaoying.
At this moment, a complaint came from the kitchen, "How am I useless? If you were more promising, I would have had time to lose weight!"
An Xiaoying retorted without holding back.
Yu Xiaohong shook his head with a headache. This old couple would argue a few times every day, or they wouldn't be happy.
He tossed his backpack and slipped into the kitchen.
In the kitchen, a strong middle-aged man wearing a chef's hat was busy kneading dough.
From his features, you could vaguely see a trace of Yu Xiaohong's appearance.
This man was naturally Yu Xiaohong's father, Yu Xiao, with the nickname "Late Night Snack Brother" among the neighbors.
Yu Xiao didn't even turn his head and threw a piece of raw beef at Yu Xiaohong. "Take this and practice your knife skills."
In recent years, his parents had begun to gradually cultivate Yu Xiaohong's culinary skills and business acumen, apparently considering him not suited for academic studies.
Yu Xiaohong sneered and decided not to tell them about what happened today. He would wait until the day the exam results came out and directly show them his transformation with the report card.
Wash hands, wash meat, take a knife, all in one go.
But in the moment he sliced the beef, the system's voice came again, "Ding! Understanding changes in ingredients, Cooking Ability +1, Current Progress: 1/10, Current Level: Beginner."
Huh?
Yu Xiaohong's eyes brightened, and his knife speed couldn't help but increase.
"Ding! Cooking Ability +1... +1... +1..."
"Ding! Current Progress 11/100, Cooking Ability upgraded to Mastery Level."
That feeling came again, as if his mind suddenly gained a lot of cooking knowledge.
After this period of exploration, Yu Xiaohong roughly understood the system's level divisions.
Experience points between 1-10 were Beginner Level.
Experience points between 11-100 were Mastery Level.
He just didn't know what came after 100 points.
Having obtained Mastery Level in Cooking, Yu Xiaohong became even more skilled at slicing the beef.
"Taptaptaptap..."
The crisp sound of slicing meat filled the kitchen, and Yu Xishan, who was busy kneading dough with his head down, couldn't help but snap out of his daze.
When did this kid become so fast at slicing?
Turning his head, Yu Xiaohong was surprised to see his dad staring at him with his mouth wide open.
