The growth system comes at the age of 30

Chapter 11 Reading is actually entertainment

"I love bathing turtles falling down, oh oh ~ oh oh ~"

"Be careful of fleas, there are so many bubbles, oh oh ~ oh oh ~"

Chen Jingle spent a full 10 minutes longer than usual taking a shower today.

One reason is that my muscles are really sore, and the other is that although I don’t sweat too much, my metabolism is still higher than usual. If I wash like usual, I always feel that it is not clean enough.

"Tsk, I haven't taken such a serious bath in a long time."

He even used a shower gel that he hadn't used in hundreds of years.

After washing, rubbing and rinsing, I feel the whole body is fragrant.

perfect!

Although it is not like our friends in the north who go through multiple steps and rub every pore from head to toe, it still takes a little more effort than the usual simple rinsing.

In short, it's clean.

[Baby is awesome! Successfully complete the bathing task, and the system rewards you with removing a scar on your buttocks.]

Tsk~
"Look, look, here comes the reward. Even taking a bath can remove a scar. That's fine!"

He is not a person with scars all over his skin.

If I continue at this rate, it won't be long before I can be reborn and become the Hu, Guan, and Zu that I always wanted to be.

Looking forward to it just thinking about it.

……

As usual, after blow-drying his hair, Chen Jingle would sit in front of the computer and start surfing the Internet or starting the game.

However, today, due to the emergence of the system and the series of changes it brought about, his attention is no longer focused on entertainment and leisure.

Instead, he continued to ask: "System, are there any other tasks?"

The most important thing is to complete the task and get the reward!
Play? Play shit!
Brothers, we must fight! Brothers, we must stand up!
[Now is the after-school break time. If the baby really doesn't know what to do, then read some extracurricular books. Reading more classics can help increase your knowledge, broaden your horizons, and cultivate your interest. ]

Chen Jingle's eyes lit up. It was good to have a mission.

However, he still subconsciously joked: "Isn't it said that the evening is entertainment time? Why do you have to read books at night?"

[For smart babies, reading extracurricular books should be a relaxing entertainment activity rather than a passive burden. ]

Oh~
Chen Jingle shook his head: "Just go ahead and fool me, who can fool me better than you?"

Just read books!
Just give rewards!
So he turned his attention to the bookshelf on his desk.

The small bookshelf is not big and does not have much stock, including "Selected Works", "The Water of Canglang", "Being Involved", "Small Town Noise", and the two books Liang Cheng sent, namely "XXX: The Governance of China" and the local city chronicles.

They are all social science books.

To put it bluntly, these books are more for show than for actual use. Look, they are all covered in dust.

After all, most of the time, Chen Jingle prefers to read online novels.

Life is already tiring enough, why do we have to read all kinds of famous works full of bitterness and hatred instead of reading some refreshing novels that don't require much brainpower?
After all, he doesn't need to continue his studies or do scientific research.

At noon, Liang Cheng asked him if he wanted to take the postgraduate entrance examination. Chen Jingle did not dare to agree. He felt that he did not have the ability or the intention at the moment.

If liberal arts students want to further their studies, unlike science and engineering students, who have intuitive experimental data, the only thing they can do is to read more.

Read various documents and books.

Until the book is torn to pieces!

Finally, your knowledge reserves, thinking organization ability and core inductive ability will be taken to a higher level.

Only if you can endure this "torture" can you learn something and clearly describe what you want to express through words.

Instead of writing a bunch of nonsense and self-righteous garbage without sufficient experience and knowledge.

If your knowledge level is not enough, you should go study.

If you don't have the patience and perseverance, don't even think about furthering your studies. That's a punishment for wasters.

Chen Jingle was very lazy, so he gave up the opportunity to continue to improve and just became a waste. However!
When the emergence of the system brought him new choices, between continuing to be a slacker and working hard, he chose the latter without hesitation.

Why is there such a change?

The reason is very simple.

The difference between the two is that the system can give him positive feedback in a timely manner, and he can clearly feel that his efforts are rewarded.

So he is willing to work hard.

Everyone who has played the game knows that you have to get rewards for completing dungeons in order to have the motivation to continue. Otherwise, who would play this crappy game?

However, reality is not a game, and no feedback and no rewards are the norm.

He had become passive and lazy before because he did too many things without getting any feedback.

If everything were done like it is now, there would be no need to worry about lack of motivation.

……

If online novels are also included in the category of books, then Chen Jingle can say that he loves reading.

If he puts aside online literature, he will only read the texts that interest him.

It could be poetry, it could be material, or it could be a short essay.

It won’t be a long story.

I have no patience and feel that I don’t get good feedback from the things I spend time and energy reading.

Over time, a vicious cycle is formed.

Even though he chose English as his first systematic course, among so many courses during his school years, his favorite was Chinese.

The importance of Chinese language is reflected in the fact that it is not only a part of the examination-oriented education stage, but runs through a person's life.

It is only because of the lag in education that many people realize the beauty of Chinese language only when they truly enter society.

"The chrysanthemums in Beihai are in bloom. I'll push you to go and see them."

"There is a loquat tree in the courtyard. It was planted by my wife the year she died. It is now as tall as a canopy."

"Children meet each other without knowing each other, and ask with a smile where the guest comes from."

"..."

The power of words touches people's hearts.

After Chen Jingle pondered for a while, he picked up a book called "The Water of Canglang". He had only read half of it before and hadn't finished it yet, so he continued.

The water of Canglang is clear, and can wash my hair with it;

The water of Canglang is turbid, and can wash my feet.

This is a highly praised officialdom novel. It depicts the treacherous, dark and corrupt side of officialdom through criticizing the official-centered culture and the dangers of power worship. It is praised as a rare masterpiece on contemporary realistic themes.

But after Chen Jingle looked at it several times, he frowned.

People like him who are used to reading brainless and exciting novels can't continue reading every time.

This time, he decided to try reading again to see if he could finish reading the book with the help of the system.

Chen Jingle flipped the pages very quickly.

Because in the process of learning to read, the system gave him the ability to remember everything he saw, so he no longer had to read carefully word by word as usual.

But fast does not mean perfunctory.

He really read it carefully.

He was completely immersed in the world of the book. He finished reading the entire book and then let out a long sigh.

“It’s well written, but it’s not the path I want to take.”

　There will be more later.
