When I returned to the dormitory, I still couldn't think of a solution. I sat on the bed absentmindedly.
"Luo, you're back. How's your tutoring?"
My roommate, Liu Fei, came over and put his arm around my shoulder to greet me.
"It's not bad, right?"
I replied lazily and looked at him. "What are you doing?"
"What else can I do? I'm just watching videos!" Liu Fei showed me his phone and motioned for me to look at it with him.
"The vlogger I'm following hasn't been updating recently. I'm just browsing to see if there are other interesting videos."
I glanced at Liu Fei's phone. It was a comedic vlogger. Liu Fei liked to watch such things.
"There are so many vloggers. Just find another one you like."
I replied absentmindedly.
"You're right, but you don't look very happy. Do you want to watch it together?" He asked.
"Thanks, but I still have things to do."
I rejected Liu Fei's kindness, picked up my phone, and lay on the bed... Wait a minute!
Video!
If I upload a tutorial video, will there be many people learning from me? Then I can level up quickly.
"Liu Fei, you really are my inspiration."
I thanked Liu Fei from the bottom of my heart.
"Ridiculous."
Liu Fei mumbled.
I didn't have the time to bother with him. I quickly browsed through the teaching videos on YouTube and watched them seriously.
I didn't have any experience in making videos, so I had to learn from others.
After watching hundreds of videos, I finally started to make them.
What should I use for the video content? I definitely couldn't use Elementary Math.
So, I flipped through the university textbooks and found an advanced mathematics problem. I recorded the process of solving the problem in detail, edited it, and made a video.
I registered a YouTube account and uploaded the video I had just made.
Of course, I didn't forget to add a caption.
"Free answers to all kinds of difficult questions. If you have any questions, you're welcome to leave a message in the comments section."
After I posted it, I suppressed the urge to watch it every minute and fiddled with my phone in boredom.
But soon, I didn't have the time to be bored. Liu Fei pulled me to play games.
"Luo, you should relax. We're short of one person. Hurry up."
I took a look at the video and saw that no one left me a message, so I happily joined Liu Fei's team.
Three hours later, I stopped the ashen-faced Jerry, who had lost terribly, from asking for another round.
"I'm tired, I'm tired! You guys go ahead!"
Liu Fei looked at the results and, for once, did not try to stop me from playing. "Alright, Luo, if you don't want to play, I won't either. But you have to believe that we're just unlucky."
As I unlocked my phone, I replied perfunctorily, "Yes, yes, yes. You're very good. It's just that the teammates you're matched with are noobs."
I scrolled through the video and found that there were more than zero replies. Someone really did comment on it.
I mumbled, "I hope it's a question and not some boring spam."
[ What are the classifications of the German passives? ]
My eyes brightened. It was actually a German grammar question. Although my German wasn't good, I could answer this question.
I picked up my phone, thought about my words, and posted the answer in the comments section.
[ German passives are divided into process passives and state passives. The content of the two passives is different. The process passive expresses the process of action, while the state passive expresses the state produced by actions.
In German, these two passives not only emphasize different content, but also differ in composition form. ]
After I answered, I checked again and there were no mistakes.
I waited for a while, but there was no system prompt.
I couldn't help but wonder if the person who commented didn't understand it.
That's impossible!
I opened up the system interface and saw that my comprehension was still at 20%. This question wasn't difficult. As long as the other party wasn't an idiot, they would definitely understand.
Had that person not seen my reply?
Or could it be that this learning method was not recognized by the system?
Just as I was feeling apprehensive, a familiar notification sound suddenly rang in my head.
[ Ding! Congratulations to the host for teaching Li Yan 'German grammar'. You have received a 10,000-fold critical hit and are rewarded with German Level 8,1 credit point, and 20,000 experience points. ]
Oh my God, Level-8 German!
Even though I was mentally prepared, I was once again shocked by the system's reward.
One had to know that the Elementary Math Olympiad questions were still in the scope of elementary school, but it was a different story for Level-8 German.
My German was so-so. I was usually not very interested in German, but now I'd learned all the knowledge of Level-8 German just by answering a question.
How could this not be shocking?
I impatiently received the reward, and the knowledge of Level-8 German appeared in my mind.
This is knowledge that truly belongs to me. How exciting!
I was excited not only because I had Level-8 German knowledge, but also because this had proven that answering other people's questions online could also earn me rewards.
Although I didn't get any money from this method, I was full of confidence.
After gaining knowledge, would I not have money?
I'm Level 8 in German. I can make a lot of money by just looking for a translation job!
However, I was not in a hurry to earn money. I would work hard to improve my knowledge.
To the first person who asked me a question, I enthusiastically replied with another comment.
[If you have any other questions, you're welcome to comment and ask me. No matter what the question is, I can give you the most perfect answer.]
I looked at my comment in satisfaction. The other party replied quickly as well.
However, this time, it was not a simple grammar problem.
[ The genetic issues of HIV virus. ]
I rubbed my eyes and looked at the phone screen again. I really didn't see wrong. It really was about the genetic issues of HIV.
"Is this really not a prank?"
I mumbled to myself, but I quickly understood. It must have been because my reply was too arrogant that the other party mistook it as boasting.
This was a clear provocation!
However, I still decided to answer this question. I'd already said what I wanted to say, and it was time to live up to my words.
I took a look at the question. It was nothing more than asking about how HIV patients could have s*x while ensuring safety and how to raise offspring while isolating the virus.
I was a liberal arts student, so I'd never come into contact with this kind of knowledge.
It just so happened that with this question, I could gain more knowledge.
I didn't reply to the questioner's comments because I knew that the best proof was to tell her the correct answer and let her understand it.
I turned off my phone and started looking up research papers on HIV.
HIV was also known as Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome. Infection with this virus could lead to varying degrees of deficiency in the human body's immune system. It could be transmitted from mother to child, s*xual intercourse, and blood.
That was the limited knowledge I had about HIV.
As I went through a large amount of information on HIV, I discovered that HIV could be treated.
Although HIV was very scary and could not be cured, with the improvement of medical standards, if it was discovered early, intervention treatment could be carried out in time. The lifespan of HIV patients was already close to that of normal people.
The large number of examples and data in this research paper made me realize the importance of understanding HIV.
Although the person who came up with this question was trying to provoke me, this question could be turned into a video explaining HIV.
Just do what you say.
At this moment, I didn't have the urge to earn points in a hurry. I wanted to do my best so that more people would realize the importance of preventing HIV. I also wanted to tell those who had HIV that their lives were not over just because of that.
With the system's 20% increase in comprehension, I was sure anyone watching my video would be able to understand it as long as they were not stupid.
As long as they remembered it, everything I'd done would not be in vain.
It took me two days to read the papers and another day to make a video. I uploaded it and tagged the person who had asked the question.
After doing all this, I heaved a long sigh of relief.
Immediately after, I began to look forward to the system's reward. After all, this was not an Elementary School Math Olympiad question, nor was it a simple grammar question.
Speaking of grammar, I hurriedly brought up my system's character panel. I hadn't looked at my experience after answering that question.
[ German: Level 4 ]
I looked at my German level in surprise. This 20,000 experience was really powerful. It made my German level go from Level 2 to Level 4.
"However, I guess that it's also because my German foundation isn't good that I'm able to gain so much experience points. If I were to answer such questions again, my experience points probably wouldn't be so heaven-defying."
However, this was already good enough.
I closed the system panel and swiped my phone.
At this moment, the system notification in my head suddenly sounded.
At the same time, I received a private message.
I ignored the system's notification and opened my PM[1] tab out of curiosity.
[ Hello, teacher. I'm the student who asked you the question earlier. I want to apologize to you. It wasn't my intention to ask this question. I just wanted to test your knowledge.]
[ But I didn't expect you to answer my question so carefully. I'm very sorry. I misunderstood you.]
[ I thought you only said that to attract attention, but I didn't expect you to be a really knowledgeable person.]
[ After watching your video, I know that you are a very patient teacher. Your answers to the questions of HIV heredity are also very detailed. I'm usually very bad at biology, but after watching your video, I actually understood it. Thank you very much.]
I looked at the long text and was stunned.
To be honest, I didn't care what kind of mentality the other party had when they asked me questions. To me, as long as they asked a question, I would answer it.
The knowledge obtained would be my own, and there were also additional rewards.
However, I didn't expect him to apologize so sincerely.
I thought for a moment and replied, [ It's okay. I just answered your question. It's fine as long as you understand it.]
As soon as I sent the message, another private message came in.
[ I understand. Teacher, your explanation is very easy to understand. I usually don't understand when my teacher teaches biology, but after watching your video, I understood it immediately.]
I laughed thoughtfully. Of course, do you think the 20% increase in comprehension is for nothing?
Soon, the other party sent another message. [ Sir, I'm a senior in high school. Biology is my weakness. May I ask you questions about biology in the future?]
My eyes lit up. Senior year is good! I was just worrying that there wouldn't be any problems!
I quickly replied with a private message. [ Of course you can. You can ask questions in the comments section. Not just biology questions, but also questions about any other subject.]
[ Okay! Thank you very much, Teacher! ]
I curled my lips and smiled happily.
Now, I'm going to look at the system's reward.
