Chapter 9: Messy Memory

Light, darkness, pain......

Zhang Jinwen was awakened by the emotions after all kinds of pain were intertwined.

It hurts! This time, it was not only his head, but also his whole body aching. He didn't understand why he had fainted.

All he remembered was that his whole body seemed to twitch, and then he lost consciousness.

In a coma, he seemed to have had a very strange dream.

In the dream, he is in another world, or maybe it is the current world, which cannot be accurately distinguished.

It's just that it's a ruin.

Smoke, ruins, and wails are everywhere...... It's like an ancient battlefield.

And he stood in the light. One meter around the light is a sacred land. Covered with grass and full of warmth.

It is particularly out of place with the surrounding desolation.

He also saw a man in tattered clothes and covered in blood on the charred ground not far away, desperately trying to crawl into his circle.

However, as if the circle would move, the people on the ground were getting farther and farther away from him.

He wanted to step out of the circle to pull him, but he didn't expect that his hand had just touched the edge of the light.

A piercing pain spread from his fingertips like a tear.

At the same time, the body of the man who was crawling on the ground not far away began to burn, and the heat and twisting obscured his eyes......

Just when the heart-rending cry for help reached Zhang Jinwen's ears, he woke up.

When Zhang Jinwen woke up, he was already soaked with sweat, and the pain in his hands was also very real.

He patted his head, which was still buzzing, gasping for air.

After calming down for a while, Zhang Jinwen looked at the time, and he had been in a coma for nearly two hours.

What the hell is going on? Why do you have such dreams?

He tried hard to think and recall something, but as soon as he used his brain, his eyes went black for a while, and then the feeling of the world spinning.

He almost fell unconscious again.

It seems that I can't think about it.

Zhang Jinwen gave up, maybe it was just a messy nightmare, he comforted himself.

After struggling to get up and drink a sip of water, Zhang Jinwen felt a little more comfortable.

He remembered that he was obviously going to learn the general knowledge of writing, why did he faint? Is it because my knowledge capacity is too small and expanded?

Thinking of the last expansion, Zhang Jinwen couldn't help but be a little afraid.

If you have to do this every time you learn something, I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it.

You can't really be that stupid, right?! He complained in his heart that he had sinned so badly, and he didn't know if he had completed the task of studying.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jinwen called up the task panel in front of him.

I don't know if I don't see it, but this look almost made him jump.

【Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the Writing Knowledge Task! 】

[Mission reward: 3000 XP has been distributed.] Activate new skills Description, Lyrical, Narrative, Illustrative, Argumentative, and Logical. 】

[Reward for overcompleting missions: Activate a new item skill: Paper Book]

3000 experience! Six skills and one item skill were activated at once! This is something that Zhang Jinwen dare not imagine.

What did you do? He was even more confused, and he fell into a coma, how could he have so many benefits? He would even like to be unconscious a few more times if he could.

Zhang Jinwen was afraid that he was dazzled, so after washing his face, he looked at the information panel by himself.

It wasn't until 100% sure that the previous sluggish mood suddenly disappeared.

In addition to these new skills, the Text Level and Lore panels have also been upgraded.

[Text Level: Lv4: 1700/4000]

[Knowledge Level: Lv4: 310/400]

Now the panel is more complicated, and all kinds of data dazzle Zhang Jinwen. But he is more concerned with the newly activated item skill - Paper Book.

For Zhang Jinwen, this is a completely unfamiliar name, but he compared the previous item skill [Pen Power], since it is an item skill, it must be a plug-in general existence.

Thinking so, he immediately searched in his mind, and the system quickly gave an explanation.

[System Prompt: Paper Writing Skill: It can make text writing not limited to ordinary paper, and reduce the difficulty of writing words on other things.] 】

Not limited to regular paper? In other words, you can write anywhere?

This made Zhang Jinwen interested, and he hurriedly took a pen and wrote his name on the tile under his feet.

However, it turned out that not a single handwriting was shown!

What's the situation? Didn't you say you could write anywhere?

【Ding! System Prompt: The range of writing carriers will expand with the increase of the skill level of paper books. Due to the low skill level, no other carriers other than paper have been activated. 】

It turned out that this was the case, Zhang Jinwen was a little disappointed, and it seemed that he could only upgrade slowly.

But now that I've mastered the skills of description, lyricism, etc., I shouldn't be like an elementary school student anymore!

Come to think of this! He sat down at the computer again, deleted everything he had written in one fell swoop, and opened a new document.

If you don't succeed, you will be a benevolent! Try again! Zhang Jinwen took a deep breath.

His hands touched the keyboard, and his mind moved.

But this time, the coordination of thoughts and fingers was not as smooth as expected. After a few finger strokes, the mind disconnects, and although it is only for a few seconds, it is very disconnected.

Zhang Jinwen's mentality began to mess up.

In every gap between disconnections, there seem to be some fragments of memory that have never appeared in my mind, trying to squeeze them out of my thoughts.

After a few times, Zhang Jinwen's face turned bad. He just wanted to write his own story well, so he had to desperately stop the fragments of memories that kept interfering.

It seemed like a lot of energy, and his fingers began to tremble slightly.

As the frequency of finger tremors increased, Zhang Jinwen gave up. He stopped the code writing, and his clothes were soaked with sweat again.

Why is this happening? After the first two studies, the writing was extremely fluent, and there was no clutter that interfered with the thoughts.

What's wrong this time? Zhang Jinwen looked at his hand, and after flipping the palm and back of his hand, there was nothing unusual.

It can't be a brain mess, right? Zhang Jinwen touched his head in panic.

Can the system come out and explain! He shouted in his heart, did he learn too much at one time?!

【Ding! System Prompt: The host is in good health! There are no undesirable factors. 】

So why is there always a mess in the head? Zhang Jinwen asked rhetorically, is there a problem with knowledge screening?

【Ding! System prompt: There is no problem with the detection and transmission of knowledge screening. 】

Nothing is a problem? So how can something always get in?

Zhang Jinwen was very skeptical. He just wanted to ask, but found that after saying the last sentence, the system seemed to be lost again.

No matter what he asked, there was no response.

He was really helpless, seeing that the time was past noon, his stomach also screamed.

I don't want to, I don't want to! Let's eat first. Zhang Jinwen rubbed his stomach, got up and walked to the kitchen.

When it comes to cooking, he's an amateur. The dishes that will be cooked, except for scrambled eggs with tomatoes, are scrambled tomatoes with eggs.

So when he's at home, he usually eats instant noodles.

Instant noodles are something that Zhang Jinwen never gets tired of. There are several boxes in the kitchen cupboard, and there are all kinds of flavors.

Something to eat might be fine.

Zhang Jinwen thought so. Although he kept telling himself not to think about those strange things anymore, he always had thoughts in his mind that wanted to remember and think.

He could only keep himself constantly diverted.

Eat turkey noodles today! This is Zhang Jinwen's favorite.

He likes to smell the bread first when he tears open the package. It was a very healing feeling that made him very appetizing.

This time, as usual, he tore open the package.

However, when I first wanted to smell it, a strange smell came to my face.

It's not like the smell of the pastry, it's like a rotten taste.

It stinks terribly.
