Chapter 90 Where Have You Been After Not Seeing You for Two Months?
For the freshmen of 2009, they have just experienced the longest summer vacation.
Everyone has different arrangements for the summer vacation. Some stayed at home for two months, some went on a trip with their parents, and some were already studying to prepare for repeating a grade or going to college.
Just like Zhang Xin, as a hard-working person, he did not completely indulge himself during the summer vacation, but learned English, hoping to pass the Level 4 exam in his freshman and sophomore year.
Children in small towns are often weak in English, and Zhang Xin's English was also a lagging subject in the college entrance examination.
Tong Xin did not waste her vacation. She applied for the Shanghai Academy of Arts and Crafts (three-year college) and has been studying on her own during the vacation.
Even Song Bin, who is not here at the moment, spent a summer vacation trying to figure out music. It can only be said that due to Zhou Rui's influence, several people have clearer goals.
The only one who played for nearly two months was probably Li Wenqian. She first went to her grandparents' rural hometown. Anyway, Zhou Rui had never returned to Qinghe County, so Li Wenqian had been playing in her grandparents' hometown, and then she returned to Qinghe to spend her days leisurely.
As for Zhou Rui... the story is complicated.
Several people got in the car, and Zhou Rui smoothly shifted gears and drove forward.
Zhang Cheng was a little worried about Zhou Rui, a novice driver, driving, but because he was unfamiliar with Shanghai's traffic rules and was not confident, he did not drive himself. He just sat in the co-pilot, holding the handle tightly, keeping an eye on all directions and listening to all directions, for fear that Zhou Rui would overturn the car.
After Tong Xin's mother sat down, she said: "Xiao Zhou, it costs a lot of money to rent a car in Shanghai, right?"
Zhou Rui shook his head and said: "It's cheaper than taking a taxi. It's not convenient to take the subway with so many big and small bags. If you take a taxi, two cars will cost more than 300 yuan. If you take a detour, it will be even worse."
Gradually, the car drove into the real city area of Shanghai, and the scenery outside the car window gradually revealed the appearance of Shanghai's international metropolis.
The ten-story viaduct was shocking enough for several people, not to mention the tall buildings.
The noise in the car gradually became much quieter, and Zhang Xin could no longer say "It's not much better than Qinghe."
At this moment, he realized how funny his words were just now. He gradually felt pressure in his heart, but also had a little motivation.
This is where I will go to school for the next four years.
Tong Xin's mother looked at the buildings lined up one after another, and began to worry about how much money it would cost to go to school here for a month.
And Tong Xin was already considering working and studying. Although she had not yet experienced the consumption in Shanghai, so many high-rise buildings told her that 1,000 yuan a month would probably be very tight, and she didn't want to add too much extra pressure to her family. This number was already the limit.
Li Wenqian secretly compared the difference between here and Shenzhen, and finally could only agree with Zhou Rui's statement that Shanghai was bigger than Shenzhen.
However, as an invisible rich woman, she had no worries about money. With Zhou Rui's help, the income from this summer vacation alone was enough for her to stand up straight.
It's just that this thoughtful girl never showed off, and her usual consumption level was similar to that of ordinary girls.
The car drove for an hour, and experienced two traffic jams in the middle. Finally, it drove down the elevated road and arrived at the accommodation.
Considering the different levels of each hotel, Zhou Rui booked the "Ru 8" Express Hotel, with a room rate of 180 per day.
There are four rooms in total, one for Tong Xin and her daughter, one for Zhang Xin and his son, one for Li Wenqian, and one for himself.
Originally, it was Li Wenqian and her daughter, but there was no way to change it when she didn't come. Zhou Rui couldn't share a room with Li Wenqian, right?
At least not on the surface
Zhou Rui helped everyone check in like a tour guide, and tried to use his familiarity with Shanghai to ease everyone's unfamiliarity when they first arrived.
"Uncle and aunt, you put your luggage first, go back and rest, and have dinner together in the evening."
_______________
Zhou Rui was also very tired. He first took the train from Jiangmeng to Shenzhen, then flew from Shenzhen to Hongqiao, went to the car rental point to pick up the car, and then worked as a driver for more than an hour.
He woke up at more than five in the morning, and even he felt a little tired.
Lying on the bed of the "Ru 8" hotel, Zhou Rui turned on the system.
Life Item Synthesis System!
Host: Zhou Rui
Existing items:
[Academic Master] Green
[Absolute Music] Green
[Focus] White
[Perseverance] White
[Strong Body] White
[Inspiration] White
Compared to two months ago, he only has one new item, that is [Inspiration].
And he just got it yesterday.
This is the longest item task Zhou Rui has taken so far. He has been stuck since he was reborn, and it took four months to complete.
The effect is a bit watery, at least it looks like this literally
"[Inspiration], white, item effect: increase the probability of inspiration burst."
Just one sentence, nothing below.
When Zhou Rui got it yesterday, he was silent. You know, it took four months to get this item.
Especially when the task progress entered the last 5%, it really took half a month to brush out a little.
For a time, Zhou Rui suspected that he might not be the kind of person who is easy to have inspiration.
As for the three task bars, the changes are even greater.
Task bar:
"Entry task [Luck]: Current progress (0/100)"
"Entry task [Martial arts enthusiast]: Current progress (96/100)"
"Entry task [Intangible cultural heritage inheritor]: Current progress (95/100)"
The [Lucky] task was filled in by Zhou Rui after he got [Inspiration] yesterday. The current progress is 0, and Zhou Rui has not found a way to efficiently gain experience.
At least he didn't encounter anything yesterday and today, which can be called lucky.
At present, it may be a slow task like [Inspiration].
The latter two tasks are the reason why Zhou Rui stayed in Jiangmeng City for two months.
The reason was that on the night before the college entrance examination results were released, Zhou Rui obtained two entries at once, [Strong] and [Perseverance].
The total number of entries reached five for the first time, and then the system reward revealed a most special synthesis path so far.
[Strong] + [Martial Arts Enthusiast] + [Intangible Cultural Heritage Inheritor] = [Ancient Martial Arts Inheritor]
Since Zhou Rui obtained the system, the paths revealed are mostly biased towards reality. This is the first time that Zhou Rui has smelled a hint of "surrealism" in the system.
My heart is the same as Cat's Paw!
What exactly is [Ancient Martial Arts Inheritor]!
He is reborn, not traveling through time.
He knew very well that in this world, there is no "martial arts" that can be seen in movies and TV shows. There is only "martial arts".
Martial arts is a sport, just like table tennis and basketball, which falls under the jurisdiction of local sports bureaus. It is even more performance-oriented than competitive sports.
The biggest difference may be that martial arts has its own "cultural" attribute and is part of China's unique cultural heritage.
In the formal system, "martial arts" has its own place, with competitions and medals, and the main assessment content is the performance of martial arts routines.
There are also related events in various universities and sports games, but compared with other modern popular sports, it is relatively weak, and this is still under the premise of strong support from the country.
Don't bring the kind in film and television works to reality. If there is really a "super-realistic" martial arts in the world, it can only be in Zhou Rui's system.
In addition, he consulted a lot of information. The so-called intangible cultural heritage, that is, intangible cultural heritage, also needs official declaration and certification.
At present, two batches of applications have been submitted nationwide. The first batch was in 2006, with more than 700 items, and the second batch was in 2008 last year, with more than 1,300 items.
Sounds like a lot, right?
But Zhou Rui wanted to complete two tasks at once.
That is, to learn a skill that is both a martial art and an intangible cultural heritage.
This reduced the options to a very small range, because among the intangible cultural heritage projects, opera, crafts, porcelain firing, and special festivals occupy the vast majority. At this point in 2009, there were only 8 intangible cultural heritages of martial arts in the country.
Finally, Zhou Rui considered the distance, the current situation of various martial arts schools, and his own advantages, and finally set his sights on Jiangmeng City in the same province of Guangdong.
At present, he is nominally the 9th generation inheritor of "Li Cai Fo Quan".
