Study Monster Cultivation System

Chapter 71 - 071 Choose B for this question

Li Zheng returned to the classroom and, surrounded by his classmates, slowly placed two steaming towels on his thighs.

Warm and cozy.

Relaxed and comfortable, quite fatigue-relieving.

Teacher Mengxi shared knowledge and helped with recovery.

Truly an angel.

"Ya ya ya ya ya!" Zhang Xiaoke saw the cute towels and immediately jumped up, "Someone is already sending you secret admirer signals!"

"Don’t be ridiculous," Li Zheng shook his head, "Judging others by your own measure, that’s you."

Li Zheng was also frustrated.

Clearly a good student at heart, yet she focused all her attention on frivolous matters, what a waste.

Later, he had to have a proper talk with her.

"You’re the MVP, whatever you say is right," Zhang Xiaoke giggled, "Master, I cheered for you too, let’s just forget about some matters, shall we?"

"If you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have forgotten." Li Zheng quickly took out his phone, opened the notes app, and muttered as he recorded, "Zhang Xiaoke lost again, has to fulfill several requests for me without complaint."

"Ah, just one, one!"

"Not much difference, we have a long road ahead, we’ll settle our accounts gradually," Li Zheng said and subconsciously turned his head towards a certain direction.

But he only saw an empty seat.

"Where’s Lin Yujing?" he asked.

"Seems like her illness got worse, she went home."

"I knew I made her unhappy," Li Zheng sighed.

"What?"

"You don’t understand, in the name of the Hero, I did something a Villain would do."

"I really have no idea what you’re talking about!"

"That’s because you’re the Villain."

"..."

...

Not until the warning bell rang did Li Zheng manage to send away the classmates who had been discussing the game around him.

As the classroom gradually quieted down,

an exciting moment arrived.

The task notification had appeared long ago, but Li Zheng had been too busy to look at it.

Successful or not, let’s see what we’ve got!

[Accepted Task: Unparalleled]

[Countdown: 00:00]

[Timing Ended]

[Unparalleled Closed]

[Highest Instantaneous Recovery Rate: 1031.2/minute]

[Average Recovery Rate: 489.7/minute]

[Total Vitality Recovered: 122.4 hours]

[Task Completed: Unparalleled]

[Game Coin: 5?25]

[Please choose one Unparalleled Title:]

[1: Human-shaped Dictionary, English Vocabulary +40000 (complete mastery of the spelling and usage of the top 40000 frequent words)]

[2: Ocean of Words Dragon, grasp the entire contents of the "Ocean of Words" and "Xinhua Dictionary".]

[3: Formula Feedbacker, master the top 3000 most frequently used mathematical, physics, and chemistry formulas and equations.]

Oh my oh my oh my oh my.

Li Zheng plunged into boundless happiness.

Although it’s hard to quantify happiness,

it must be more delightful than winning a five million lottery jackpot.

Considering how to spend that five million, that’s even happier.

1, 2, and 3 are all great options, but considering I prefer science, and my future studies and work will likely lean towards science, I’ll read "Ocean of Words" when it’s time to cultivate my sentiments.

Between 1 and 3, it’s a tough decision, really.

Simply from the standpoint of content volume and practicality, 3 seems more overpowered.

But Li Zheng somehow felt an indescribable aversion.

Using martial arts as an analogy,

suppose Li Zheng is a martial artist.

The "Formula Feedbacker" is like suddenly mastering all the martial arts moves in the world.

This is certainly tempting.

But at the same time, a martial artist would be deprived of their lifelong joy.

Savoring each move, pondering each counter.

Studying techniques, comprehending their subtleties,

all that would be gone.

To Li Zheng, learning science could thus lose much of its pleasure.

Moreover, having instant memories of those moves, compared to self-study, it’s uncertain whether it lacks the essential spirit.

Even the name "formula feedbacker" is filled with mechanization and rigidity.

Now, look at the "human-shaped dictionary."

Unlike the "formula feedbacker," which directly grants access to the "most joyful" part of knowledge.

It gives you the "most tedious" part—

Memorizing vocabulary.

Without a doubt, English is one of the rare subjects that Li Zheng detests.

Tedious, uninteresting, lacking logical connections, never the thrill of solving tough problems, and certainly no wild flights of imagination.

But, being born into this world, if you want to dive deep into learning, you can’t avoid English literature and academic journals.

Going further, to communicate with like-minded friends internationally, you might even need to write papers directly in English.

Although uncomfortable with this, objectively speaking, at this stage, no one can escape English.

Unless, one day, Chinese academic journals can surpass English journals in both quality and quantity.

That is indeed one of the Chinese people’s goals.

If that day ever comes, then the children that follow

would no longer need to learn English.

They won’t have to waste the most precious time of their lives on this boring matter.

It just feels a bit unfair to foreign children.

I suppose they would have to start learning Chinese.

And that would probably be an order of magnitude harder than us learning English.

Stop, why am I getting sidetracked?

Li Zheng wiped off his drool and focused on the "human-shaped dictionary."

If you say the "formula feedbacker" is like martial arts techniques,

then the "human-shaped dictionary" is like cast-iron foundation.

You need thousands of hours, over a decade of repetition, to forge such a foundation.

A vocabulary of 40,000 words is enough to shatter all the reefs and obstacles in the sea of knowledge.

Enough said.

This tough stone of English, I’ll gnaw through it.

Just hoping the kids in the future won’t have to worry about this.

Human-shaped dictionary, confirmed.

[You have acquired the Unparalleled title "Human-shaped Dictionary"]

[English: 92?148????]

Crack!

Li Zheng’s head felt like it was about to split open.

This is way too violent.

But I like it.

He couldn’t wait to pick up an advanced English exercise book, randomly turned to a page of cloze tests, and casually scanned two lines—

Samsung’s most recent innovation is called the Note7. Sadly, it was discontinued only 38 days after being made ______ for consumption.

A. accessible

B. Responsible

C. Affordable

D. available

With just a quick glance, he laughed.

In the past, faced with these words, with his vocabulary at that time, what he saw would be something like this—

Mountain Star’s most recent ???? called Note7, regrettably, was discontinued only after 38 days of being made ______ for ???.

A. ????

B. Responsible

C. ????

D. available

All the "?" naturally represent what he couldn’t understand, the more he looked at it, the more his head would hurt.

Given this perspective.

One could only guess.

I bet the majority of students also rely mostly on guessing for cloze tests.

Of course, guessing requires a certain level of skill.

For example, in this passage, since it mentioned Mountain Star, you could first confirm that it wasn’t anything good.

Thus, the likelihood of [B. Responsible] is quite high.

Imagining a bit, it roughly means, "Mountain Star has to take responsibility for something."

Although not knowing what it was about, it seemed to read smoothly and appeared logical.

As for accessible and Affordable, the roots of these words look familiar, but can’t quite remember them for the moment.

The last option is D, available.

If it’s exploded, what’s there to get?

After some consideration, the old Li Zheng would probably choose B.

Of course, if there were too many Bs in the previous questions, he might also blindly guess something else.
