Chapter 7 - Save a dying fish

Two magnificent European-style buildings rumbled up, and a sculpture of a figure holding a cane stood at the door of one of them.

 The third mission also has a clue.

 Check the grocery store first.

 The products in the grocery store today are indeed different from yesterday, and the quantity has also changed.

 Yan Duo checked it out and realized that the first product was actually steamed buns.

 1. Delicious steamed buns: Delicious steamed buns can greatly increase satiety and put you in a good mood for the day. Price: 11 gold coins

 Yan Duo: This grocery store is actually a bun shop that works part-time as a grocery store!

 But if you take a closer look, this is wrong. The description of today's buns seems to be different from yesterday, and the price is a bit more expensive. Isn't that "putting you in a good mood for the day" a legendary additional status?

 However, Yan Duo's current financial situation is that of abject poverty, and she is reluctant to buy no matter how good the buns are.

 2. Love Talisman A: Everyone within ten meters behind the burning will be in the "love" state, lasting 1 hour. Price: 200 gold coins

 Yan Duo: "Love" state, what is this?

 3. Price of the fourth volume of "Love Across the Stars": 1,000 gold coins

 Yan Duo: Even the explanation was omitted this time.

 4. Universal insect repellent water: This insect repellent water has miraculous effects on all insects. Price: 100 gold coins

 I was a little disappointed when I didn't see the slimming cream Yan Duo. I don't know when it will be updated next time. After looking at today's products, Yan Duo came to the following conclusions:

 This "miscellaneous" store is indeed worthy of its name.

 Before leaving the grocery store, Yan Duo talked to the grocery store clerk Pammy again. Pammy changed her expression to a laughing one, and a sentence popped up in the dialog box: So happy, so happy, finally another water fish came to the door. (⊙o⊙) Didn't you hear me?

 I clicked on it several times, and it was always the same sentence, and there were even emojis...

 Yan Duo rolled his eyes and left the grocery store.

 Next is the newly opened map "Church".

 There is only one NPC in the church, and his name is "Priest Ogg". After talking to him, three options will appear:

 1. Conversation.

 2. Pray.

 3. Leave.

 I chose to chat first, and a sentence popped up in the dialog box: "All kinds of gods~~~~ bless you."

 Yan Duo: =_=

 After repeating this sentence several times, Yan Duo chose to pray, and then three options appeared:

 1. Pray to God.

 2. Pray to yourself.

 3. Pray to #%¥;;…%…@#…*&;

 ...Is this garbled code?

 To be on the safe side, Yan Duo chose to pray to God.

 System: You chose to pray to God, you feel refreshed, and the cleanliness level increases by 30, valid until 24:00.

 Cleanliness is another attribute that Yan Duo cannot understand.

 Leave this humorous (funny) church and come to the Sage Academy.

 The NPC at Sage Academy is seriously waiting for Yan Duo's arrival.

 This NPC was actually a titled NPC, his name was Xiwen (Great Sage), the instructor of Sage Academy. His white beard was dragged to the ground, and Yan Duo immediately stood in awe.

 After choosing to talk, a sentence also appeared in the dialog box: "A scholar is a noble profession. For those who pursue the truth, knowledge is faith. 'Ignorant' - a new sunny day. I hope you can treat your glory with caution." title."

 Yan Duo squirted milk on the spot.

 The "focused" state doesn't stop her from bursting into laughter.

 It turns out that cold jokes told with a serious expression are the highest level of jokes.

 Sage Academy tutor Xiwen's second option is indeed: study.

 After choosing to study, courses with three prices appeared:

 1. Study for one hour, tuition fee is 10 gold coins, and study time is 1 hour.

 2. Study for four hours, tuition is 38 gold coins, and study time is 4 hours.

 3. Study for eight hours, tuition is 72 gold coins, study time is 1 hour.

 Note: Studying is the only way to upgrade a professional title. Each upgrade to a professional title requires a certain amount of time to study. For the time required for upgrading, please check "Title" in the basic information. Studying can be done in idle mode.

 It only costs 10 gold coins an hour, and there are discounts for packaged studies. It's really a reasonable price... The problem is that Yan Duo is now extremely poor.

 But in order to complete the task, Yan Duo had to reluctantly choose the first price that only poor people would choose: studying for one hour.

 After the ten gold coins for tuition were successfully deducted, a one-hour countdown appeared on the screen, and task three in the task list was also declared completed.

 As a result, Yan Duo still had 139 gold coins in hand.

 The remaining two tasks could not be completed in a short time. Yan Duo's current "concentration" state happened to be over, so she left her room to go to the yard for some activities.

 Unexpectedly, I saw my mother standing in the living room, holding a big bag in her hand.

 Yan Duo rubbed his eyes.

 Have you been playing for so long?

 When Gu Liping saw her daughter, she immediately happily put the big bag on the coffee table and said, "It just so happened that cold drink tickets were distributed today. There was a lot of chaos in the factory, so Aunt Fang and I left early. I gave you the right one, Aunt Fang's son I didn't even lend out my high school textbooks, so I brought them back along the way. Look, they're all here, including the exercises and reference books."

 After saying that, she went into the kitchen carrying another bag of things: "It just so happened that Aunt Fang's father-in-law caught a lot of fish in the lake this morning and gave one to our family. I will kill it later and we will braise it for lunch." Soup?"

 a fish--

 Yan Duo didn't hear anything else clearly, but he heard these three words clearly. They were simply "fish in time".

 She quickly said: "How about we wait for dad to come back and eat together. He said last time that the freshly cooked fish is still delicious. Anyway, there are enough dishes for lunch. It is pitiful for my dad to come home every night and eat leftovers. "

 Gu Liping frowned: "You are a broken fish and you are turning towards your father. How come I have never seen you turning towards me like this? Why don't I remember that he said he likes to eat freshly grilled fish?"

 Yan Duo chuckled: "I looked at you when you were not at home. If you don't believe me, ask my dad."

 "More and more talkative." Gu Liping shook her head, put some water in the pool, and put the fish in. She never refused Yan Duo's normal request.

 Lunch was very peaceful, and Yan Duo kept thinking about finding some excuse to "steal" the fish and throw it into the lake in the small park.

 Just when she went from "a cat ran in and took the fish away" to "there were a few white spots on the fish, it looked like it was sick, so it was thrown away."

 Then, she unexpectedly discovered that the mission of saving the dying fish had been completed...

 The system prompts that the player has reached level 3 and the next level requires 25/55 experience points.

 Yan Duo silently mourned for the fish. It's not that I don't want to save you, it's just that you were born at the wrong time...

 ******Lunch break******

 In the afternoon, Yan Duo was the only one left at home. Gu Liping had skipped her morning shift and could not skip her afternoon shift.

 At two o'clock, Yan Duo was awakened from her nap by the ringing of the phone. She answered the phone sleepily. The voice on the other end of the phone was fast and urgent.

 "Yan Duo, have you heard that you have to hand in your summer homework?"

 "who are you?"

 "Eh? You're not... I'm sorry, aunt. Is Yan Duo at home?"

 "..."

 "..."

 "Yan Duo, you took advantage of me!!!"

 "Please." Yan Duo wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I didn't say I wasn't Yan Duo, you just made it up in your own mind, okay?"

 The caller was Jiao Yang, Yan Duo's junior high school classmate and Yan Duo's future high school classmate. When Yan Duo was in middle school, she had a low self-esteem and was introverted. She was a little transparent in the class. Except for a few classmates who could talk to her, the rest of the people's impression of Yan Duo was only her huge figure.

 Jiao Yang and Yan Duo live close to each other. Her father and Yan Duo's mother were colleagues, so the two got acquainted.

 "What's the idea?"

 "Um...it's nothing. What did you say about your summer vacation homework?" Yan Duo secretly said quickly. The word "brain supplement" is not popular yet.

 "The summer vacation homework is due! It's due as soon as school starts! It's spread all over the place."

 "Impossible." Yan Duo recalled it and couldn't remember if he had handed in any homework during the first year of high school. However, the homework during this summer vacation was not serious homework. It was either extracurricular or extracurricular. Otherwise, It means participating in social activities, observing the growth of a living thing, and what's even more exaggerated is that there are a lot of brain teasers and recipes.

 How can someone hand in this kind of assignment?

 At least she never wrote an observation diary back then, nor did she participate in social activities, nor did she seem to have done any homework.

 This news should be just a rumor.

 "It's true. Liu Xiao told me. She heard it from Peng Xiaoqing. I heard that it was a student from our last class who told her. The previous batches all paid in."

 Yan Duo, Jiao Yang and others are all from the junior high school of the High School Affiliated to Hainan University. The high school section of the High School Affiliated to Hainan University is a city-level focus. The junior high school students who directly apply for the high school section not only get a slightly discounted tuition fee, but also get 6,000 yuan for those with particularly outstanding results. Scholarship, so most of their classmates applied for the high school of our school.

 Yan Duo remembers that at least one-third of his high school classmates were also junior high school classmates.

 Therefore, although the high school district is not in the same school as the junior high school, the students there belong to the same school for them.

 Liu Xiao and Peng Xiaoqing were probably her classmates in junior high school, but she had no memory of these two names at all. She was almost confused by the list of names. She probably wasn't assigned to the same class after entering high school. She asked: "Anyway, you It's all based on what others say."

 "I heard it from others. How can it be false after so many people have said it!"

 For a simple child, this kind of thing is really unreliable... Yan Duo was silent.

 Jiao Yang on the other end of the phone was still chattering: "I took a look and found that this homework is quite difficult. I have asked Liu Xiao and the others to come to my house together. Then we will write together. You can come too."

 Yan Duo was not very popular among his classmates. Jiao Yang and Xi Yin were the only two people who could think of him when something like this happened. Yan Duo was both moved and embarrassed.

 After being reborn and returning to middle school, Yan Duo realized that he had so many regrets before he was reborn. Time was too tight and there were too many things to do. She really didn't want to waste time on homework that she didn't have to hand in at all, let alone such an "unconventional" homework.

 Of course she is willing to study together. She would not be so embarrassed if they previewed high school textbooks together.

 So she asked Jiao Yang to wait a moment while she inquired about the situation before calling her back.

 After hanging up the phone, Yan Duo called her mother's office directly and asked her to ask Aunt Shen in the next office if her son had handed in his homework when school started last year.

 The news went smoothly. Aunt Shen gave her a very definite answer without even making a phone call: Her son played like crazy during the holidays. He couldn't find a pen when school started. How could he hand in his homework? He hasn't made up for it since school started. Operation.

 After getting a positive answer, Yan Duo immediately called Jiao Yang and told her the news.

 Jiao Yang went crazy: "Everyone has different opinions. Should I write it or not?"

 Then she said "I'll call and ask again" and hung up the phone.

 Yan Duo put down the phone dumbfounded. He originally wanted to ask her if she had any other plans if she didn't do her homework, but she hung up too quickly and didn't give her a chance to speak.

 Remembering that she still had an unfinished task of "using skills above level 2 15 times", she simply returned to her room with a bag full of high school textbooks and turned on the air conditioner to do the task comfortably.
