The college has six subjects, and they all have their own difficulties. Math, driving, and toxoplasma gondii were easy for Ning Que, but the other three were as torturous as etiquette, calligraphy, and music.

He can at least remember etiquette and calligraphy. He believes that as long as he has a heart that loves grades over money, he can get through it.

However, music was beyond his grasp. He is neither good at nor fond of. He couldn't help but think of what Chen Pipi said every day when he was worried about the flute in his study. In those messages, Chen Pipi unceremoniously compared him to a dumb piece of wood, saying that he was a flute that could not make a sound. Looking at the flute in his hand, he couldn't help but feel that this must be a restriction imposed by Haotian on himself.

If he wants to graduate from the academy and go to the second floor, he must not miss any exams. He had already missed his exams from last semester. Since there was no hope for music, he had to redouble his efforts for the other five subjects. In addition to the stress of schoolwork, there is another reason for his current pain.

The students in the academy, including the students in Room 3, thought that he was lazy because he was pretending to be sick and skipping exams. Although they did not laugh at him in front of him, they were reluctant to speak to him more than they asked of them. They mostly just want to stay away from him.

He didn't care about being deliberately excluded. He was never one to follow those who ignored him. If he is left out, then so be it, he will only learn. However, sometimes he gets quite frustrated when he walks around the academy alone.

At times like these, when he receives a medal for being the best student in the province, he consoles himself with images of his past life being ignored by other students. As the saying goes, the tallest branches will be broken by the wind. The bumps in the river will be swept away by the rapids. A person with higher quality always has to put up with gossip. The outstretched beam will rot first. The fattest pig in the pigsty...

Burst! Ning Que spat on the damp grass. He looked up and ignored the students who were going to ignore him. With a paper bag in his hand, he leisurely walked to the old library.

He walked to the second floor of the old library and bowed to the female professor. He put the paper bag on the table by the west window, walked over to the bookshelf, and glanced at the books on cultivation. Now that he could feel the breath of nature and was able to make a lot of money from it, he regretted that the books were still like Greek to him and completely incomprehensible. He could memorize the strokes of every word, but none of the words remained in his mind.

He sat on the ground under the west window with a thick book called "Dictionary of Diverse Legal Appreciation". He looked at the bright sunlight shining through the crack in the window and began to read sleepily.

Over time, the sunlight disappeared through the cracks in the windows. By the time he read page seventeen using the Eight Laws of Eternity, the sun had completely sunk into the horizon. Darkness shrouded the old library, however, he made no move to leave.

The female professor at the east window had already finished the day's calligraphy. She holds a paintbrush and inkwell, then gently turns her wrist. She watched Ning Que look at the dictionary blankly, and couldn't help but show a warm smile. She didn't remind Ning Que that it was late, but quietly left the old library.

As the night deepened, the symbols on the shelves began to glow. Ning Que was not afraid, but stared intently at those symbols, the light gradually faded, and the symbols returned to their original rough gray-white state. He watched as the shelves silently slid down the wall, revealing a panting chubby lad.

In addition to countless communication messages, this is the second time that Ning Que and Chen Pipi have met. The first time they met, it was already late at night, and Ning Que had already crossed the fine line between life and death. When he woke up drowsy in the morning, he didn't see the guy clearly. This time, though, he won't miss the opportunity. He opened his eyes wide and looked at him for a long time.

"I must say, you're really fat."

Ning Que looked at Chen Pipi with admiration. "I wonder what you've eaten in the last 16 years to get so fat. Good thing you're sturdy, so you don't look that disgusting. But there are some things I really don't understand. Are you really the first person in a hundred years to get a 6A extra point in the entrance exam? Did you also get an A plus for driving? Where do they find a horse that can both tolerate your weight and run fast?

Chen Pipi's round face was full of dissatisfaction, and he heard this long contemptuous remark when they met. His bean-like eyes were filled with irritation. He snorted, "Drive... I chose to drive on that test!

Ning Que had a look of understanding on his face. He praised Pipsqueak sincerely, "It was a wise choice.

Chen Pipi raised his hands to his forehead. He didn't bother to continue the conversation, and asked directly, "What do you want to see me for?"

Ning Que smiled lightly and said, "Let's talk about those unimportant things later." I brought you something to eat.

He rummaged through the paper bag and pulled out a few large white buns, as well as some other side dishes. He said excitedly, "Let's talk while eating." The college cafeteria has very good pickles. I don't know if you guys got it in the mountains. The buns are a little cold, and I don't know if you're used to it or if you'll fill your stomach.

Chen Pipi looked at the food and refused to sit down. "I know you have something to ask me, but I really didn't expect you to bring only a few cold buns and pickles. Is this how you beg for help? Shouldn't you bring at least some crab porridge? He said incredulously.

"The crab roe porridge in the canteen has to be paid for, and it is not included in the dormitory fee. It's a waste. Ning Que smiled and continued to motionfor Chen Pipi to sit down. "Besides, we don't have to say things like begging for help. This is called sharing information.

"Share?" Chen Pipi looked at him contemptuously. "With your humble skill, and my genius?"

Ning Que didn't let his contempt hinder him, but continued to wave at Chen Pipi and invited him to take a seat. He replied earnestly: "I just started down this path, but who knows which of us will go further?" If you treat me well now, I will be able to repay later. You have nothing to lose. Besides, I can teach you math, why not?

Chen Pipi was somewhat persuaded by Ning Que's words. He sniffed proudly and sat down, reached for a cold loaf of bread and some pickles, and shoved them into his mouth.

"Why do you only walk around at night? Wouldn't it be better for us to see each other during the day? Ning Que said.

Chen Pipi replied with a mouth full of buns: "Senior Sister Yu stays here all day to write calligraphy." How dare I come? You must understand that the college forbids us to help students outside this building. I risked being beaten up by my seniors and just left your instructions in the message. Shouldn't you be more grateful for that?

"Didn't I ask you for a bun now?" Ning Que replied with a smile. "I know the rules of the academy are strict. The instructors waved their fists indiscriminately, without rhythm and without reason. Why did I hear that you are more afraid of the second brother?

Chen Pipi looked at him. He knew that the lad was curious about what was going on in the mountains behind the academy. With a cold smile, he said: "The cold and hard rules of the academy, compared to the second brother's fist, are almost made of cotton.

The two sixteen-year-olds ate with relish, and before they knew it, the buns and pickles were gone. Chen Pipi found the female professor's water bottle under the east window, rubbed her stomach and took a sip. He looked at Ning Que, pretended to be careless, and said, "What do you want to know today?" If it's about how to get into the second story, you might as well forget about it. The teacher may spoil me, but I can't say anything like that.

"We've known each other for a while. Do I look like someone craving a free lunch? Ning Que smiled cheekily to hide his disappointment. "I want to ask you, since I can feel the breath of nature, what should I do next?"

"You're just entering the initial state of consciousness. You have to cultivate your mind and cultivate steadily. You must not be greedy. Chen Pipi explained seriously. His brow furrowed suddenly, and his right hand, which was secretly drawn behind his back, froze. He looked into Ning Que's eyes and asked uncertainly, "You only have 10 open acupuncture points?"

Ning Que replied honestly, "I tried to watch it yesterday, but the picture in my mind was too blurry. The sea of air and the snow-capped mountain looked like two black spots, and I couldn't tell how many spots were blocked. Today I want you to help me take a look.

Chen Pipi sighed and shook his head. "No, you only have ten acupuncture points. You hover between being able to cultivate and not being able to cultivate. If your willpower is a notch lower, you will definitely not be able to do it.
