I used Hextech Grinding to become a top student
Chapter 28: The book contains many errors, and the young girl has many opinions.
Chen Mu said he had a bad stomach, half of it was a joke and half of it was true.
Although the principal is providing the money, the physical training next month will cost 4 yuan, and we still don't know how to pay the remaining 2 yuan.
Although Huang Zhong had a little money, his family only gave him three thousand a month. Even if he starved to death, he couldn't scrape together twenty thousand.
I still need to figure out a way to get the remaining 20,000, but I have to do it without affecting my study plan.
So, for the sake of humanity's future, we have no choice but to sacrifice ourselves.
There was a plot like this in a novel I read years ago.
"Back then, Jiang borrowed six million by being reborn and using his mouth. With Hextech Body Tempering, borrowing sixty thousand is no problem for me, Chen Mu!" Chen Mu thought to himself, making a firm decision.
However, Chen Mu did not force the issue, but simply studied and read books in an orderly manner, and went to the library more often at noon and in the evening.
Sure enough, I ran into a pretty young girl in a school uniform in the library.
The other person's good looks reduced my resistance, making me more decisive in making a move.
Of course, I didn't rush things. I just read normally for now, but deliberately sat a little closer to the book.
Then, secretly memorize the title of the book the other person is reading, and after they leave, come back during evening self-study to read the book again.
This gave him the opportunity to find common ground. Chen Mu felt his thoughts had become somewhat deep, something he might have previously considered a bit unethical.
But after my IQ improved, I became much more open-minded.
Morality is meant to make human society more harmonious and beautiful, but if one can gain huge benefits, then one can be less moral.
For example, theft is immoral, but if you can steal alien technology for humanity, who dares to say you are immoral? Then they are the enemy of all mankind.
This scheme against the pretty girl is harmless; I'll compensate her when I achieve something in the future.
After all, I have a flexible moral bottom line.
After a week, Chen Mu felt it was about time.
During this week, Chen Mu also learned about his memory.
It's not like a camera that can remember everything at a glance, like how you can memorize every word, which page, and which line, and even recite it backwards without any problem.
It can only be described as having an exceptionally strong memory. After reading a book, one can remember almost 95% of the content, and this memory is based on logic, not just an incredible ability to recite backwards.
But this was more than enough. In just one week, Chen Mu read at least a thousand pages of books every day.
A week's output is seven or eight thousand pages, which is equivalent to dozens of books.
Despite a significant increase in his knowledge reserves, Chen Mu still felt it wasn't enough; the more he read, the more he craved knowledge.
But it's time to get down to business and make friends with the rich woman.
That afternoon, Shen Qingyue was engrossed in reading a copy of "The Romance of the Western Chamber".
Even when young girls read ancient works with a learning attitude, they still prefer those with a touch of romance and love, which can inspire some beautiful fantasies in them.
You can also find more enjoyment in learning!
However, at this moment, Chen Mu gently patted her, and Shen Qingyue looked up at Chen Mu with a puzzled expression.
I've seen this boy every day this week, and it's impossible not to notice him at all. After all, he's quite handsome, and I can't help but steal glances at him occasionally.
However, I didn't think about getting to know the other person or having anything happen between us. After all, we were already in the final sprint of our senior year of high school. If we had a chance to bump into each other after graduation, maybe we could exchange a few words.
"Are you reading 'The Romance of the Western Chamber'?" Chen Mu asked.
"Oh, right, is there a problem?" Shen Qingyue said softly.
"I don't really recommend you read this version from the ancient book publisher. I've read it, and there are too many errors. I suggest you read a different version," Chen Mu said.
"Huh? Too many mistakes? Really?" Shen Qingyue was puzzled. She had read almost half of it and hadn't found any mistakes at all.
"Yes, just the preface alone has many punctuation, grammar, and typos. I can point them out to you if you don't believe me," Chen Mu said, gesturing for him to proceed.
Shen Qingyue also turned to the preface of the book.
Chen Mu said, "Look, this says that people today only know him as Dexin, and he was active roughly during the reign of Emperor Chengzong of Yuan (1295-1307). The Dade era name did not start from 1295, but from 1297."
The Yuan Dynasty had a total of eleven emperors. Except for the first and last two, who reigned for over thirty years, the others were all short-lived. Only the Dade Emperor reigned for more than ten years, exactly eleven years. The statement here that he reigned for thirteen years is a clear historical error.
"Huh?" Shen Qingyue was stunned and quickly took out her phone to look up the information.
I immediately realized that what the other person said was right!
Is he that knowledgeable about history? How does he know the exact year in the Gregorian calendar for such an obscure dynasty's reign title?
"Let's leave this aside, as many people don't know about it and won't bother to check. But what comes after is going too far. Even the most basic punctuation is wrong. For example, in this sentence, 'It is absolutely forbidden to write what people do not know,' there should be a comma here."
"It is absolutely forbidden to write things that people don't know. This means that common sense should never be written, such as a table having four legs or using chopsticks to eat. Writing such things is a waste of readers' time, and in online novels it's called padding the word count," Chen Mu continued.
"No wonder I couldn't see it. These errors aren't obvious. They're all relatively obscure. When I see this sentence, I can only guess its meaning or whether classical Chinese doesn't use punctuation," Shen Qingyue said.
"It's normal for ordinary readers not to know there are problems, but the publisher's level is extremely unreasonable. Do you think there are only the first two? I read the whole book and there are no fewer than a thousand errors. There's really no need to read it." Chen Muyu never fails to shock.
The young woman was terrified. Is it true that a book published by a professional publishing house could contain thousands of errors?
Chen Mu then pointed out more than a dozen more, which made Shen Qingyue's scalp tingle.
I feel like I've wasted so many years of studying. My cultural level is so low; I didn't even notice so many mistakes.
The most outrageous thing was that the Book of Rites was printed as a notebook. I thought it was a real book from ancient times, but it turned out to be a printing error.
After listening, Shen Qingyue sighed, "Isn't it said that a book needs to be reviewed and proofread three times? How can there be so many errors, and no one has pointed them out?"
"It's not impossible, but if some positions are held by people with connections, then it's inevitable that there will be situations where people are not worthy of their positions. As the saying goes, it's better to have no books than to believe everything in them."
"This isn't the only problematic book. I've been reading books these past few days, and many of them have so many errors they're terrifying. They're misleading young people!" Chen Mu shook his head and said.
"Have you ever thought about compiling this information and then reporting it to the publisher? That way, future books won't be like this," Shen Qingyue said.
What an innocent girl! She seems to naively believe that everyone can admit their mistakes and correct them.
Little did they know, the truth might be that people simply wouldn't care. After all, only a few people would notice, so why bother with the trouble of making changes?
Unless you stir up public opinion and make the public aware of it, causing them to lose face, things might change. Otherwise, it will be like throwing a stone into the sea; no one will even open or read the emails you send them.
However, this is an opportunity to make friends with a rich woman.
"There's no need for that. I have a lot of things to do and I don't have time," Chen Mu said.
"I can help. You just need to find the mistakes, and I'll organize, summarize, and report them!" Shen Qingyue said anxiously.
