I'm a senior in high school, and the system says I'm going on a blind date with my childho

Chapter 46: Can Knowledge Be Traded? (Please continue reading)

Shen Yuan ate dinner in the cafeteria.

Li Zhi and He Zhiyu went out to eat, while Shen Yuan was too lazy to wander around.

In reality, Li Zhi didn't call him at all.

However, the two were not regular breakfast and lunch buddies; it was only on a whim that Shen Yuan would go to the cafeteria to arrest Li Zhi.

And there are occasional times when they fail to make an arrest.

I just go with the flow.

After lunch, Shen Yuan originally wanted to go to the supermarket first, but then he thought there was nothing to buy, so he went straight back to the classroom.

This decision made Shen Yuan grit his teeth in regret.

"Shen Yuan, it's been a long time."

On the last step, Shen Yuan heard a voice he didn't want to hear.

Tong Churou stood at the end of the corridor, holding a bottle of Vitamin C, and smiled as she watched Shen Yuan go upstairs.

Shen Yuan's expression immediately darkened: "It's best not to see him."

"You're still as humorous as ever."

"Forgot the English words again?" Shen Yuan skipped all the previous steps and left the question to the very end.

Upon hearing Shen Yuan's words, Tong Churou's smile vanished, replaced by a look of grievance.

"In your heart, is the only reason I'll contact you just because of my English?"

Shen Yuan chuckled: "Is it because I'm cheap?"

"Shen Yuan, I think we can get along like ordinary friends."

"No thanks, I'm afraid you'll be envious of my English grades."

After saying this, Shen Yuan walked towards the classroom.

Tong Churou quickly caught up: "Shen Yuan, since you put it that way, let's make a deal. I have the physics test paper that Teacher Guo gave to Guo Weifeng. It will definitely help you improve your physics grades."

Shen Yuan paused, his gaze turning coldly to Tong Churou: "What do you take knowledge for? In your eyes, is knowledge something that can be traded? Can you truly improve your grades by trading it?"

Tong Churou frowned slightly as she listened to Shen Yuan continue speaking.

"You think getting a test paper will guarantee you a perfect score in physics? And you're trying to trade a test paper for my English knowledge? Bah! Is my knowledge something cheap?"

After Shen Yuan finished speaking, he walked into the classroom.

Tong Churou was left alone at the entrance of Class 15, staring blankly.

……

When Li Zhi returned to the classroom, he saw Shen Yuan lying on the table pretending to be dead.

"You didn't take a nap at noon, but now you're taking it?"

Upon hearing Li Zhi's voice, Shen Yuan raised his head from the table, looking dejected.

Li Zhi was startled: "What the heck? What's going on with you? You didn't do something shady in my seat, did you?"

He Zhiyu, who returned with Li Zhi, almost tripped and fell in her seat when she heard this.

Have you two already accelerated to this extent?

However, this only made He Zhiyu even more curious.

The girl pricked up her ears, secretly listening to the sounds coming from the back row.

"I……"

Shen Yuan opened his mouth and said in a hoarse voice, "Young Master Li, I have refused Tong Churou's request."

"go on."

Shen Yuan swallowed hard. "She wanted to exchange the physics test paper that Teacher Guo gave to Guo Weifeng for my English knowledge, but I refused. Did I do the right thing?"

Li Zhi understood.

This guy was regretting not making a deal with Tong Churou.

That was a test paper specially provided to his son by a top-level physics teacher. It must have taken a lot of effort, and it might be very useful for students who are bad at physics.

Is Shen Yuan considered a poor physics student?
Probably yes.

Shen Yuan's physics score was among the lowest in Class 15, so of course it counts.

Don't underestimate the role of exam papers; a good exam paper can indeed bring significant improvement to students.

Li Zhi patted Shen Yuan on the shoulder: "You did the right thing."

Shen Yuan's eyes immediately lit up.

"Anyway, you won't be able to answer the questions even if you get the test paper."

Shen Yuan's back hunched over again.

Seeing this, Li Zhi reached out and patted Shen Yuan's head. The short-haired puppy felt very nice to touch.

"But I believe in you, you will get better."

Shen Yuan's spirits were rekindled: "Yes! My physics can't die here! My physics will definitely improve!"

"Ding!" [While studying for the civil service exam, you discovered your logical thinking skills are extremely poor. You often find yourself clueless when faced with graphical and numerical questions.]

[Actually, this was your weakness in high school, and it was precisely because of this that you fell far behind Li Zhi in the final college entrance exam. From then on, your lives took different paths.]

But on this point, you know there's one person who's incredibly strong!

My good friend Zhou Shaojie from my senior year of high school is now a civil service exam tutor. Ask him for guidance!

[Task: Enroll in Zhou Shaojie's class for 72 hours of study. Current completion: 0/72. Reward: Improved logical thinking skills.]

"What the hell?" Shen Yuan raised an eyebrow. Ah Jie went to be a civil service exam tutor?
Shen Yuan was starting to lose his composure.

After all, what did I say to Tong Churou earlier?

Oh, by the way, "Can knowledge be traded?"

Now it seems that it is indeed possible.

Damn it, isn't paying for a course just a form of knowledge exchange?
If Tong Churou had just offered to pay for his classes, Shen Yuan might have actually agreed!
Students pay teachers to give lessons, and these teachers then trade their knowledge to the students.

In this way, students will receive more professional improvement in subjects they do not understand, and this improvement will be one-on-one.

This is so much better than the average student burying themselves in test papers every day.

Shen Yuan actually disliked tutoring.

Because his older cousin forced him to take countless English lessons.

But Shen Yuan is no longer opposed to it; he wishes his older cousin could teach him math in addition to English.

But I only thought about it.

My older cousin's math skills are even worse than Shen Yuan's.

If given the opportunity, Shen Yuan believes that many parents would be willing to enroll their children in a tutoring class.

But the truth is, they can't afford to pay.

Small tutoring centers were cracked down on, but large ones still exist.

The disappearance of competitors has led to increasingly higher prices for tutoring classes.

A single lesson costs several hundred yuan, which is simply unaffordable for ordinary families.

Some people think it's a good thing, as it reduces the burden on students.

Can the burden of the college entrance examination really be reduced?

It is obvious that the reduction in academic burden and the improvement in academic performance are disproportionate.

Thus, on one hand, there is the suffocating pressure of exam-oriented education, and on the other hand, there is the pressure of not being able to improve grades.

Under the dual pressures of education and family, it is not uncommon for students to fall from or onto rooftops.

There's a joke that goes like this.

High school seniors are hoping someone will jump off a building, because then they'll get a holiday.

Shen Yuan subconsciously looked at Zhou Shaojie's seat; A-Jie hadn't returned yet.

Ah Jie is very popular, not because he is good-looking, nor because of his math scores.

It's because people who are with A-Jie can feel genuine joy, laugh out loud, and temporarily escape the pressures of reality.

A-Jie's abstract behavior transforms the real-world educational gravity field into a controllable absurd playground.

You can join in and become a player in this absurd playground.

Of course, you can also choose to be a tourist.

But hopefully, you can smile genuinely when you see absurd behavior in amusement parks.

It is also hoped that the sugar released by the Food Study Association can nourish a tired brain.

Everyone moves forward under pressure.

They keep doing practice problems, becoming gravediggers of question banks, but also writing a poem of wild growth on the ruins of standardized education.

Before drowning, the fresh air one breathes is perhaps the motivation to keep going.

Shen Yuan looked at A-Jie's empty seat.

But how do I find Ah Jie to enroll in his classes?

Even if I sign up for work, Ah Jie isn't around right now!

Does she harass A-Jie every day 10 minutes after class ends?
One or two classes would be one thing, but this is 72 hours!
Does that mean I have to stick to A-Jie every day after class?

This is somewhat reminiscent of Nantong.

Just as Shen Yuan was struggling with how to enroll in a class, Li Zhi's voice rang in his ears.

"Excuse me, I need to go in."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan moved his chair, and Li Zhi immediately stepped inside.

Watching Li Shao's long legs stride past him, Shen Yuan realized.

Why not just wait until next week?

Then we'll just slam the wall and report Ah Jie to the station.
