My Weekly Refreshing Mentor Spirit-Chapter 316 - 295: My Daughter Forms a Band, I Drink Beer at Home (Double - ) (2)
Two Tigers?
Xue Dili: "..."
Well, it’s only been a few days, and he didn’t really expect the child to have any strong musical talent. Being able to play Two Tigers without going out of tune is already a sign of genius, which is completely different from Xue Dili.
Xue Dili is someone without any inclination towards music or art. If he were to study art, he’d probably never make it to university and would long have become an art school reject.
And seeing Little Dragon Lady play the piano, the other two children picked up a violin and guitar and started to accompany her.
At a glance, it looked just like a young girls’ band, just missing a lead singer. If there was a lead singer, Xue Dili could just chill at home drinking beer, while his daughter went out to form a band.
However, the Old Demon Emperor had sent Bai Ya and Siam to learn strategy and scientific knowledge, not to form a young girls’ band here.
So he quietly left and then asked, "Aunt, how are these kids doing in their studies now?"
"Studying?" Aunt looked at Xue Dili and suddenly said, "Little Dragon is doing very poorly in her studies... she’s just now managed to recite the multiplication table..."
Xue Dili: "..."
No way, why is Little Dragon Lady nothing like himself, what’s going on?
Xue Dili himself is someone without much artistic talent but learns knowledge quickly. Why is Little Dragon Lady the exact opposite?
"As for Fafnir... she’s already gotten to high school level texts, but she’s like the kind of kid who’s good at some subjects and not others. She’s okay with history and thoughts, but in other areas, she’s just so-so."
"As for Bai Ya and Siam..." Aunt suddenly seemed to have words stop at the tip of her tongue when talking about those two.
"What is it?" Xue Dili suddenly felt a thud in his heart, hoping he didn’t end up raising these two unlucky kids the wrong way.
"No, nothing, it’s just that they... have no interest in any subjects, but instead like... building houses? Farming?" Aunt said.
"Building houses? Farming?" Xue Dili asked in confusion.
"A game on the computer, a simulated survival game that combines manually building houses and farming. They’re having a blast playing it, and the two of them have even taught themselves how to design buildings and methods of farming and animal husbandry online..."
Aunt led Xue Dili to the computer in her room, then pointed to three books on the table: "From Entry to Burial in Architecture Design," "Comprehensive Guide to National Agriculture," and "National Animal Husbandry Tutorials."
Xue Dili looked; the two books were newly bought, but inside the pages with the drawings, there were a lot of notes and annotations in the script of another world, occasionally mixed with Chinese and Pinyin.
Those two kids hadn’t even mastered much Chinese, yet they were managing to cram in this way, simply because of their interest. Xue Dili felt a headache just looking at those books. This just proves that interest is truly the best teacher.
And then Aunt opened up that simulated survival game, and Xue Dili had the "Subway, Old Man, Phone" look on his face as he looked at the magnificent TPC sea base in the game?
Huh?
"This is what they designed and then built in the game," Aunt said.
Xue Dili: "..."
Great, at least he can report back to the Old Demon Emperor with relief. With this talent for building houses, they can shine back in her original world, and the Old Demon Emperor won’t think they’ve come here to study and learned nothing.
Just then, the three little ones came bustling in.
"Grandma, grandma, it’s time to play games!" Little Dragon Lady immediately said.
"Alright, alright..."
The three little ones started farming, building houses, and raising chickens at the computer together.
Xue Dili watched as the three of them huddled in front of the computer, and when it came to farming, one of them would flip through the "Comprehensive Guide to Agriculture and Animal Husbandry," discussing what crops to plant next, how to fertilize and water them, and so on.
Suddenly felt it wasn’t so bad after all.
Actually, Xue Dili thought the Old Demon Emperor bringing these two ten-year-olds here for two months to learn power and scientific knowledge... was practically impossible. How could kids this age possibly understand that stuff? Also, the so-called strategy and scientific technology is a disaster more than anything for them.
Might as well have them learn the simulated survival knowledge from the game instead. That would be more useful in the world where they need to undertake large-scale construction production. As for strategy and scientific technology...
Xue Dili decided that at the time, he’d order the Old Demon Emperor a full set of textbooks from elementary school to university so he can figure it out himself.
Kids should act like kids, not be forced to learn painful knowledge so early.
As for Little Dragon Lady’s academic performance...
Forget it, it’s fine...
Xue Dili did not dwell on it any longer.
Meanwhile, Fafnir, who had just finished petting cats and dogs, looked at Xue Dili at this moment, as if summoning the courage to say, "Teacher, you’re a college student now, right? I want to go to university with you too!"
Xue Dili: "?"
"I looked into it, your school seems to have a social entrance exam... it’s quite an easy shortcut..." Fafnir spoke of her plan, "The exam is in mid-October, I’ll try then, I should be able to pass, and then I’ll be classmates with you and be able to attend Ke University together!" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
She excitedly shared her thoughts. Being born Mythic Level, her memory and thinking ability are much higher than the average on Earth, so she could easily learn all this culture after studying for a short time. Back in her world, it took her just a few days to learn Chinese and start tackling university level "Ideological and Political Education" textbooks.
And now, with more than half a month until the adult college entrance exam, she was confident she could self-study all the high school liberal arts courses and pass the social exam for Ke University, becoming a social university student there, and go to school together with her teacher.
Even just thinking about being classmates with her teacher, and the scene where she rides on the back of the bike with her teacher in front when going to school fills her with motivation.
Now is the time for daydreaming.
Though her fantasy had a bit of a problem because part-time university students have completely different class schedules from full-time students...
But Xue Dili didn’t want to rain on her parade, he just smiled and said, "Hmm, do your best, in more than half a month I’ll take you to the exam, and by then we’ll be classmates."
Fafnir nodded enthusiastically, her whole face lit up with an extremely happy smile, and she ran bashfully back to her room to study rather than play games with the other three little ones.
Xue Dili shrugged, it seemed like all the kids in the family were finding their way, and Aunt seemed more spirited lately because of the children, no longer looking sickly as before.
This is better.
Later, after dinner, he watched a few episodes of Ultraman with them, then Xue Dili went back to his room to rest.
Tonight there was something more important—the Mist Council.
He spent 6 days in the Teaching Country and 2 days in the Heart Stealer’s world, but that was in terms of other world’s time, translating into Blue Star time, it was actually less than 7 days in total.
And today happened to be the time for the Mist Council.
As his consciousness entered the dream, Xue Dili also arrived at the Mist Council.
The other Apostles arrived slowly, but it was clear that the main character of this meeting was not Xue Dili, but that one Apostle preparing to invade the Super Iron Curtain World.
Everyone wanted to know the result of his invasion of the Super Iron Curtain, including Xue Dili himself.
"Hey, Number 9, did your conquest fail again this time?" someone immediately called out after that Apostle arrived.
"How can you call it a failure? The World Consciousness of that world seemed somewhat startled, and as soon as I arrived, I was detected, and then it was desperate with me, and there were even broadcasts and support communications from the Interstellar Corps, what could I do?" the Apostle immediately began to defend himself.
Then he seemed a bit unconvinced and went to another Apostle, saying, "Number 6, rent me two War Soldiers, and lend me a brigade of Shabu Insect Army."
