章 263: Chapter 262, the only first class

作者: Qian Feifei 機械翻訳

"Is the game that complicated? Then wait for me. I'll be done in two minutes. I'm almost done with the last question."

Qian Anzhi returned to his room and replied to them: "My sister will open her account in two minutes."

Mu Zilin knew that Shuishui wasn't very good at the game. He replied: "En, go and prepare it first so that Shuishui won't find it very difficult to join." When Shuishui joined them online, they could directly play the game.

That night, Shuishui opened her account. When she logged in, she saw the other players and read the messages on the public channel.

She ate a pear while she tried to catch up on what was happening in the game.

She was scolding them, but Zilin and the others did not return. When they all arrived at the meeting place, Zilin looked at Shuishui and said slowly, "Hurry up. We've been waiting for you for half a year."

"What's the rush?" Shuishui joined the team and walked with them. She viewed the channel and said, "What's happening in the channel? I don't know what they're trying to say."

Qian Anzhi yawned. "It's just to ruin our reputation. It's actually useless. If they keep doing that, more people will hate them. Don't be bothered by what they say. Besides, we've set up our own team. We'll be able to get rid of them when we get the chance. They won't dare to be so arrogant towards us in the future."

Shuishui felt that gamers everywhere were so tense. "I feel that the online world is also very complicated," she said.

"A little, but it's a normal thing. After all, it's the Internet. In reality, who knows who? They're only aggressive because they're hiding behind their screens. I'm sure they're not as aggressive and brave in person," Mu Zilin said confidently. "Anyway, Shuishui, I'll use your account to register in the beauty list. I'll also attach your photo."

Shuishui's face instantly darkened. She said, "I don't even like playing games. Don't mention my name."

She facepalmed at the thought of being considered a gamer. "Also, what photo are you going to use? The one from before?"

Mu Zilin sent an emoji. He replied: "Don't mind it."

Shuishui shrugged it off. She wouldn't be playing again anyway.

They were going to the black bone forest. They were going to get the elven heart and the fruit of life, which were very rare items. Usually, only small and big bosses would drop them, but it was rare for bosses to even drop them. Shuishui did not understand how it worked. She observed how the others moved around and tried to replicate it.

Shuishui's task was to cover Mu Zilin and the others as they plotted an attack against the monster horde. In any case, she was reckless. She would quickly replenish her HP and magic. Fortunately, Mu Zilin had prepared a lot of potions. Otherwise, Shuishui would have squandered them all.

"Shuishui, come here. Don't go in the opposite direction!"

"All right. I didn't see you going in that direction in the first place," she answered.

The other remained quiet and focused on the game.

Shuishui completely ignored what the others said and continued to play on her own terms. She then came upon a new medicinal technology, which reminded her of the the object of the research she had conducted in her previous life. She shook her head and shrugged it off. She was still young, so it would not be suitable for her to engage in such academic pursuits. Besides, who would believe that a girl who had not even attended university yet had such abilities? Would she be labelled a genius? Unfortunately, she was not. She was simply lucky enough to have lived a previous life.

Shuishui was a talented young lady, but it was her perseverance that brought her to where she was.

However, she thought of her wheelchair. No such structures existed in this world, but it would not be good to show all her talents early on. She tried to ignore the fact that she had invested in a game development company. If her venture was successful, she would earn from it. She did not think that they would be able to earn much in half a year.

That night, she was supposed to rest. The gang was still playing, and they continued to attack other small dungeons. She had no choice but to follow them. "Do we still have to play? I'm going to sleep," she said.

"Tomorrow is Sunday. Why are you going to bed so early?" Mu Zilin teased Shuishui. Shuishui rarely played with them. They would be lacking a player if Shuishui left the game.

Shuishui continued to play as a bystander. Later, they added another girl. Initially, they were all excited that they had another female player on their team. They turned on their voice chat and spoke directly in the team channel. The girl said, "Big Brother, I'm short of dragon claws. Can you help me?"

Everyone was excited. They found out that the girl was already eighteen years old. They didn't say anything more to her, because to them, she was a little old. The girl felt that the team had suddenly become cold towards her. She didn't understand why. She thought that it was rare for girls to play in the game, because so many players had signified their admiration for her when she started playing the game. She wondered why she wasn't given any special treatment.

After they finished clearing the dungeon, the girl noticed Shuishui's character. She felt a little displeased. "How can you go that way? And you shouldn't use your ultimate skill now," she said to Shuishui.

"Eh?"

Shuishui continued to act recklessly. She did not really understand how to utilize the skills. She would use them whenever she could and would sweep the entire area. She felt a little satisfied with how she played.

This girl noticed that Shuishui's character was acting recklessly. The others did not say anything at all about it. She wondered why the others were simply tolerating her reckless behavior in the game. She thought that the character was a useless one.

"Sister, it's better if you don't make a move. Originally, we were going to fight a wave, but you scattered the monsters instead," the girl said. She could not hold it in any longer.

Shuishui stopped. "If that's the case, then you guys fight. I'll just be a bystander."

Shuishui leisurely followed behind and let the others fight in the front. While she stayed at the back, the girl was unhappy again. "Hurry up and help."

"Eh?"

Shuishui was watching in excitement. She replied perfunctorily and continued to be a bystander.

Mu Zilin said, "It won't matter even if the four of us join in the fight. She's just a bystander. Hurry up and kill her."

Zilin explained for Shuishui. "All right, Sister. We let her join so we could make up for the lost member. She's probably watching a video or something." He was more friendly towards women.

"I see." The sister didn't say anything else because the other three members of the team seemed to be used to it.

Finally, at the final stage, Shuishui went to the other side and started to play tricks on the monster. After fighting hard, Shuishui was done with the game. "I'm going to sleep. You guys can do whatever you want."

She didn't care about the game anymore. She was used to sleeping at around eleven every night. Because of them, she was still awake, and it was already three in the morning. They were really energetic.

"Sister, you go to sleep then. Brother Zilin or I can play using your account," Qian Anzhi said.

Shuishui had already turned off her computer. She lay down on the bed and went straight to sleep. She slept until dawn. When she got up, she didn't call her brother. Instead, she went upstairs to check on the dogs and refilled their food and water bowls. The two dogs were familiar with her and Anzhi. They would be very enthusiastic whenever they saw her. She squatted down and played with the dogs. "You pups are so cute especially when you're fluffy and fat."

She casually ate some breakfast. When it was almost noon, she woke Qian Anzhi up.

"Wake up. Get up and eat!" Shuishui said as she pulled away the quilt. Anzhi was still huddled up beneath his blanket.

"Get up. We need to go to Uncle Jiang's." She continued to pester Qian Anzhi. Qian Anzhi got up, but he soon lay down again. Shuishui walked towards him and roused him from his sleep again.

Qian Anzhi got up slowly. After he had washed up, he and Shuishui visited the Jiang family.

After dinner, Shuishui accompanied Auntie Jiang on her shopping trip. Uncle Jiang drove them to the shopping center and picked them up after work at night.

The week was so fulfilling for Shuishui. She even had a few more sets of clothes. Fortunately, Auntie Jiang kept in mind that she was in school most of the time and that she more mainly casual clothes on weekends. Auntie Jiang bought clothes that had more muted tones for her.

The next week, Shuishui had somehow adjusted to life in Lingcheng University. She had heard that the results of the mathematics competition would be released on Monday, while the results of the English competition would be released the following Monday.

When she arrived at the classroom, He Xiaoying leaned towards her and said, "Shuishui, when I arrived in school today, I met a mathematics teacher. I politely greeted him. He actually had a smile on his face. I rarely see him smile. I feel like something good has happened."

Shuishui didn't understand what was so strange about it. Shuishui smiled and said, "The teacher is just friendly. Aren't you happy? Anyway, let's study while it's still early. Hurry up and open your textbook."

He Xiaoying felt that it was strange. "I'm not saying that I don't like math teachers being friendly, but think about it. For a year, I've noticed that that teacher rarely smiles. Suddenly, he smiled at me. I'm really surprised."

Shuishui shook her head and opened her textbook. They started to study while waiting for the teacher. Their first class for the day was English.

The English class representative was on the podium. He was a little embarrassed because no one paid attention to him.

The English teacher walked into the classroom and began to scold the students in the class. They weren't motivated. "The morning reading is a very good opportunity for you to learn more about the English language. With your current attitude, we'll see how you'll do in the exam. English is your second language, yet you aren't taking this seriously."

The teacher saw that the students made no reaction. He said, "Then let's see your results for the monthly exam. For those whose results are below the passing mark, you have to pay attention. You will be assigned extra homework."

"Ah."

Not many students performed well in the English class. They looked at the English teacher in disbelief when they heard they would be given extra homework. It was too much.

He Xiaoying was very uncertain about her results, so she was on the edge. "No. This isn't fair."

Shuishui simply kept quiet and listened.

Everyone sighed. No one wanted to do more homework.

The students were talking among themselves in hushed tones. The English teacher was disdainful. "Why are you so quiet?"

The students kept quiet all throughout the class.

They couldn't talk back when they saw how annoyed their teacher was.

After a while, the class went downstairs for the morning exercises and then returned to the classroom.

The mathematics teacher arrived with a bright smile on his face. "Dear students, we have very good news today. One of our students won first prize in the mathematics competition. This is very unexpected. The students from other schools are disappointed and distressed because our school has never been a top contender in mathematics competitions. We are currently performing better than the top math students from all the big schools. It's so exciting."

The students were surprised but didn't seem to be very excited about the news. They felt like it had nothing to do with them.

Shuishui was still absent-minded. She was still wondering where she had left her notebook.

The teacher said, "I didn't expect this. I'm very happy. What's even more unexpected is that the first placer is in this class." The students turned their heads in shock. They suddenly became very excited.

He Xiaoying looked at her other classmates. 'It can't be! Could it be me? It's possible. I could have gotten lucky,' she thought.

Suddenly, the teacher looked at Qian Shuishui kindly and said, "Qian Shuishui, you did very well. You're an outstanding student. Come to my office later to claim your prize." He was also very surprised. He had heard that Shuishui's score was not very far from the score of the second placer. It only meant that Shuishui was a very intelligent student because she was able to surpass all the other top math students.

The others looked at Qian Shuishui. They knew she was a good student, but they did not expect her to be that good. They were all impressed. He Xiaoying looked at Shuishui in a daze. She finally realized how different they were from each other. No wonder Qian Shuishui was so calm after the test. It did not seem too difficult for her.

The math teacher continued, "I heard that no one had actually finished the exam. However, Shuishui was the only one in our school who earned a high score. She was the only one who was able to get all the other answers correctly. However, it doesn't matter. The important thing is that you all participated. It was a great learning experience for you. It will prepare you for your college entrance exam and will prepare you for more competitions in the future." The mathematics teacher felt that it was a pity that no one was able to finish the test. However, he felt very proud that the first placer was from his class.

A short-haired girl, Zhu Ling, gave Shuishui two thumbs-up. Her eyes were filled with admiration. "Shuishui, you're amazing," she said.

Shuishui smiled. "Thank you." She felt awkward that she wasn't able to finish the last question. However, she was thankful that she won. After all, the reward was good.

Shuishui planned on going to the bookstore to buy a few things. She was very happy.

Soon, the class began. The teacher's lecture was a little fast, and students were already sleepy. Shuishui continued to jot down notes on her notepad. Their teacher said a few things about the college entrance examination, which she also took note of.

After class, she went to her teacher's office to claim the prize. She received a cash prize of one thousand yuan and a book card worth one thousand yuan. She smiled as she accepted the prizes.

The math teacher looked at Shuishui. "Not bad. I didn't expect you to be so good at math. Keep up the good work. If there are other competitions, I'll let you know. Maybe you'd want to participate in other competitions."

Shuishui was still smiling. "Okay. Thank you, Teacher."

"You're from another province, right? Can you give me a copy of your high school report card?" the teacher asked. He wanted to see how she did in her first year of high school in her previous school. He planned on telling the science teacher about Shuishui because he had already heard she was good in science. He also wanted to see how she did in Chinese and English classes, even though they were only minor subjects. Such minor subjects wouldn't affect her overall performance anyway.

Shuishui nodded. "I'll contact my former teacher's friend."

As soon as she left the office, she sent Mu Qing a text message asking for her help. Mu Qing quickly replied: "Sure, I'll give you a call at noon. I don't know how you're doing."
