Chapter 974 Depravity Leads to Progress (22)

After realizing that he had wasted seven days, Sun Hong panicked completely.

She started reviewing her lessons while crying, catching up little by little, and finally managed to cram the current material into her head before the monthly exam, and then barely passed the exam.

After the exam, instead of leaving the exam room immediately, she lay down on the table and slept soundly for two hours before staggering towards the cafeteria.

She ordered a plate of fried squid and ate it while thinking about how to catch up on her missed classes.

The study of magic still requires a general overview, and one must only be barely familiar with the new talismans before moving on to the next stage of learning.

I haven't finished my math homework yet, and my body's energy and blood are insufficient, so I need to find time to complete my physical training.

Just as she was overwhelmed by a mountain of things, she suddenly overheard two people talking quietly beside her:

"Have you finished your spell homework?"

"No. There's no need to do such simple homework. You can understand most things at a glance."

"Me too, and I found a problem with the structure of a spell in the textbook. Optimizing it can double the efficiency."

"Wow, that's impressive! Did you apply for an academic grant?"

"Applied, one spirit stone."

"You're amazing. I only got 800 last time. But compared to Chief Lin, I'm still a bit behind. By the way, what stage are you at in 'Destiny'? My character is only barely at the Foundation Establishment stage."

"Me too, let's download a notebook together later."

Listening silently to their conversation, Sun Hong felt that the food had lost its flavor.

At this moment, she finally understood what Senior Brother Ding meant when he said that geniuses don't need to be screened when she first started learning.

True geniuses are like stars in the dark; you can see them as soon as you look up.

Others are better at studying, more capable in their coursework, more thorough in their research, and even better at games than I am.

Thinking of this, she tried hard to control herself, but suddenly couldn't help but cry.

Although she tried her best to hide it, her tears flowed like a dam bursting, and she couldn't stop them.

She buried her head and cried her heart out in a secluded corner, then wiped away her tears and snot, took her jade slip back to her dormitory, and prepared to continue her diligent studies.

Bai Ye glanced at Sun Hong, who had returned, while her roommate, "Zhou Qing."

She put down her book, sat up in bed, and asked with a smile, "Not playing games today?"

"I'm not playing anymore, not even if you kill me! I've figured it out, I'm not cut out for games. I just need to focus on studying! I just can't play games and study at the same time like you guys! I'm not a genius."

"Those who can enter the Myriad Laws Sect are all geniuses."

"No! I'm just a hardworking idiot. I developed an invincible confidence in my small town, but after coming here, I realized I'm just a frog in a well! I can't turn one minute into two minutes, nor can I solve all kinds of magic problems at a glance! I have to work out the limits, differentials, and integrals in number theory to understand them, and I'm even worse at playing games."

"But you really enjoy playing games, don't you?"

These words broke Sun Hong's defenses once again.

She jumped straight onto Bai Ye's bed, grabbed his clothes, and yelled, "That's right, I like it! I like killing or being killed in the game, I like the game's storyline, I like being a capybara drifting in the water, going wherever it takes me!"

"I love card games, I love playing 'Heaven's Soul,' I love spending money to draw my favorite cards and then using them to crush everyone!" "I love war! I love commanding troops, strategizing, and then crushing everyone!"

"I like games, but I don't have time! I've said it before, I'm just a mortal, you know? A mortal who can't memorize a 100,000-word paper in one night, and who can't have a photographic memory!"

Seeing Sun Hong panting heavily, Bai Ye smiled instead.

Gently pulling the other into his arms, Bai Ye patted Sun Hong's back and said, "It's enough that you like him."

"Not enough! I am a disciple of the Myriad Laws Sect, and I must live up to the image of the Myriad Laws Sect! If I have to abandon one aspect, then it can only be a game."

"Well, is it possible—I mean, is it possible—to have both?"

"How is that possible? Unless my body automatically... wait, automatically?"

Jumping off Baiye's bed, Sun Hong forcefully pulled open his closet and yanked his luggage outside.

Sun Hong emptied everything out of the box and rummaged through it for a while before finally finding the book his father had stuffed in.

Xuantian Sect, The Complete Book of Puppets!
Seeing the intact thread-bound book, Sun Hong breathed a sigh of relief. He then immediately turned to Bai Ye and explained, "This... although this is a book from the Xuantian Sect, our lineage has long since severed ties with the Xuantian Sect! When the Xuantian Sect was destroyed, we were thoroughly investigated, and we were all obedient!"

“I know that. The naughty ones died long ago,” Bai Ye nodded and said.

Sun Hong breathed a sigh of relief, but still looked at Bai Ye expectantly and said in a low voice, "Um, could you please not tell anyone that my family is from the Xuantian Sect? I don't want to be discriminated against."

"Don't worry, I'm tight-lipped. But why are you looking for this?"

Sun Hong let out a long breath, then said excitedly, "Of course it's about learning. To be honest, I'm particularly talented in puppetry. I became a puppet expert when I was seven, and by twelve I had already surpassed my father. However, this field is against the natural order, so my father doesn't want me to delve into it."

"What kind of puppet is this, that goes against the natural order?"

"Corpse puppets! It's the technology of turning newly dead people into puppets. However, because it's too cruel, my family betrayed the Xuantian Sect a long time ago and became wooden puppets, but many of our methods are still a bit cruel. It's just that what you said just now, Zhou Qing, has enlightened me."

Automatic?

"Yes, automatically. The primordial spirit is the master of the physical body, and the physical body is the puppet of the primordial spirit. When we play games, we don't have a primordial spirit, so at this time, we can treat the physical body as a puppet to control, so we can play the game and train ourselves at the same time, right?"

"good idea!"

"Before, controlling the puppets required too many spells, and without someone to direct them, they could only do monotonous tasks. But now it's different, now we have the Spirit Realm! As long as we allocate some authority to the Spirit Realm, we can cultivate on our own, meditate to absorb spiritual energy to increase our mana, and even do some tiring and painful but effective work. Ha, I'm such a genius!"

Seeing Sun Hong's excited smile, Bai Ye knew that he had not misjudged him.

This person is truly destined for greatness.

Nodding in satisfaction, Bai Ye continued, "When do you estimate you'll be able to figure it out?"

“It might be a bit slow for me to do it alone, but I’m going to report to my senior brothers Ding Dazhuang and Liu Xiaoqiang to see if we can form a group to study together.”

"I thought you would have it all to yourself."

"What are you saying? How long would it take me to research this all by myself! But if I submit it, it will be an important research direction, and I believe I can make a name for myself in the Myriad Laws Sect! The reward will be at least a hundred spirit stones. Let's see who dares to say I'm bad then!"

Seeing Sun Hong's excitement, Bai Ye nodded again, knowing that the person he valued was indeed an outstanding individual.

Based on this spirit of sharing and the crazy drive to improve the game, he has the temperament of the Wanfa Sect.
