Chapter 9: Stingy
The four-hour study made Chu Wei's impression of Victor change greatly......
From seeing Victor's sloppy appearance at the beginning and being suspicious of him, to seeing a room full of books and looking forward to it, and now, with deep admiration after personal experience, Chu Wei's mentality has changed three times.
Although Victor still looked so sloppy, the fat face did not look so abrupt.
Victor is a knowledgeable scholar and a good teacher, and his ability to teach the language is beyond Chu Wei's expectations.
Not only can the complete knowledge be told, but also the scriptures can be cited to help Chu Wei strengthen his written memory.
So after four hours, Chu Wei had already mastered the text symbols of the common language of the Epic Continent.
In addition to numbers, the writing and composition of words here are a kind of alternative semiotics.
The subject is similar to the strokes in Chinese culture, and the composition is similar to the spelling of Western English, which is not very difficult for Chu Wei, who is bilingual in Chinese and English.
Therefore, it only took Chu Wei four hours to completely master the one hundred and four symbol strokes.
And this kind of speed, in Victor's eyes, is a little unbelievable, when Chu Wei completely retold the one hundred and four basic symbols, Victor still couldn't believe it, looked at Chu Wei, and said: "Your learning talent is too strong, more than any student I have seen before." ”
"It's because Victor Scholars teach well."
Chu Wei replied with a light smile, and he himself analyzed why he could master the basic symbols so quickly.
The first reason is that his intelligence is relatively high, as high as thirteen points, which is nearly one-third higher than the average person's value, even in the real world, he is still a leader, and he naturally learns faster.
The second reason is that the basic symbols are similar to real-world Chinese writing, and they are easy and fast to learn in comparison.
The third reason is that I have mastered two languages in reality, and I already have skills and methods for language learning, as well as an understanding of words.
Despite these reasons, Chu Wei still complimented Victor a few words, and if he wants to learn more knowledge from Victor, it is essential to have a good relationship with him.
Victor listened to Chu Wei's words, his face was also full of joy, and he said with a smile: "You are very good, you have a strong learning ability, I regret the remuneration we agreed on." ”
Chu Wei was stunned for a moment, Victor reached out and patted Chu Wei on the shoulder, and said: "According to your learning speed, the same teaching content, I will lose at least more than half of the money, it seems that teaching genius is not a good thing." ”
Victor did have some regrets in his heart, even some people with good learning ability need to learn more than 100 basic symbols three times. Chu Wei only needs one day, and this is the difference of two silver coins. For Victor, who is now so depressed that he can't afford to pay his rent, this is a huge amount of money.
Chu Wei understood what Victor meant, and replied with a smile: "Mr. Victor, no matter how high or low my learning ability is, I can only study for twelve days. ”
"Why?" Victor was a little surprised, but his eyes swept over Chu Wei's chest, and he understood: "You are wearing the badge of a reserve soldier on your chest. I don't think you have participated in soldier training yet, but the most recent training for soldiers seems to be next month, which is exactly 12 days. ”
Hearing Victor's words, Chu Wei was a little surprised in his heart, and admired Victor's keen observation and good reasoning ability, it seems that Victor was really not an ordinary person before. Thinking of this, Chu Wei said: "Mr. Victor's wisdom is admirable, and this is indeed one of the reasons. ”
Victor was a little curious, "What else is the reason for that?" ”
"Money." Chu Wei smiled bitterly, "I only have eighteen silver coins on me, twelve of which are to be used as a reward for teaching me, and the remaining six silver coins, I also have to pay for the accommodation in the hotel and the diet for three meals, which is almost not enough." ”
Listening to Chu Wei's words, Victor nodded, but his expression was flickering, he looked at Chu Wei and said, "I think you really want to learn." Why don't we make a deal? ”
Chu Wei asked, "What deal?" ”
Victor smiled and said, "You live with me, and I will provide you with food, but in return, you will pay me a total of forty silver coins." ”
Chu Wei shook his head, "Where do I have so many silver coins." ”
Victor took a sip of the teacup on the side and said: "It's not that you want to pay now, the reserve soldiers are also paid during the training, one silver coin a day, you eat and live in the barracks, and you don't need to buy anything, when you receive military salaries, won't you have money?" ”
Chu Wei's face was a little embarrassed, and he said: "But forty silver coins is too much, there are only twelve days, and you need to pay three silver coins and thirty-three copper coins every day." ”
"You can't count it like that." Victor put the cup on the table and said, "For twelve days, you have stayed with me, and you have been free of the cost of staying in a hotel." I provide you with three meals, which eliminates the cost of eating out. At the same time, you can also be taught to learn words in the morning, which is another cost. ”
"What's more, I'll keep the library open to you as long as you live here. As long as you don't take the books out of your room, how about you flip through them when the time comes? ”
After Victor finished speaking, he looked at Chu Wei with a smile on his face.
Chu Wei had already planned to agree in his heart, but he was still a little hesitant.
At this time, Victor said step by step: "You see, with your learning ability, you can learn three times as much knowledge in the same time. According to the normal teaching hours of the college, the lecture on system knowledge is only four hours a day, and you can reach eight hours a day, which is twice the difference. Also, we have one-on-one lessons, which makes it easier to transfer knowledge, which can be counted as double. In this way, what you learn in 12 days is what others learn in 144 days, what are you hesitating about? ”
Hearing Victor's almost roaring words, Chu Wei rolled his eyes, according to what he said, he could indeed improve twelve times.
But Victor ignores one of the most critical issues, which is his ability to digest knowledge and other students' spare time to study.
Students in those academies can continue to study after class, and they can also ask questions in class for the teacher to help memorize, and they can continue to consolidate their practice in the course of one hundred and forty-four days, while they only have a pitiful twelve days, and they have to use all the squeezed ones.
What's more, the first day is almost over.
However, Chu Wei didn't care about Victor's words, such an opportunity was very rare, and he couldn't be stingy with money at all. And Chu Wei was very curious about Victor's mysterious past, and he had to have a good relationship with him, so he gave up the idea of bargaining, nodded, and said, "Okay, but I can only pay you after I receive the military salary." ”
Victor shook his head, stretched out his hand towards Chu Wei, and said, "No, you have to pay me fifteen silver coins first." ”
Chu Wei raised his head in confusion, "Why?" Isn't it time to pay the bill together later? ”
Victor coughed and said, "But I don't have a penny on me now, and if you don't give me money, then what should you and I eat?" ”
"Okay."
Hearing this, Chu Wei felt a little helpless in his heart, the cost of co-authoring was only fifteen silver coins, and half of it was for his own use.
However, Chu Wei honestly took out fifteen silver coins and handed them to Victor, who immediately put them away with a smile.
In the evening, the two of them sat at the table, Chu Wei saw the large plate of meatloaf on the table, and a sense of powerlessness surged in his heart, there was only meatloaf for dinner, and there were no side dishes at all, how stingy are you.
Victor didn't mind what he ate, took the wine that Chu Wei had brought in the morning, and drank it deliciously.
