No one understands rebirth better than me

Chapter 11: Looks good, sounds good, and smells good

"Brother Ren is really a hidden talent!"

"Riven is a new hero that just came out, and Erye plays it so well."

“I don’t understand it, but I feel it’s powerful.”

……

In the Internet cafe, Guan Ren, who was originally only at the silver level, showed off his skills in the League of Legends when it was first released in public beta.

In fact, he doesn't even know the skills of light speed qa.

But for the players who generally don't even know how to walk A at this time, Guan Ren's killing spree is like a deus ex machina, a dimensionality reduction attack.

Therefore, after just playing two games, Guan Ren was surrounded by several primary school students who were chewing spicy strips and watching with eager eyes.

“One, two…”

Guan Ren counted them and found there were only four, not many.

After all, the game has just been launched in public beta and has not yet become popular.

Guan Ren played three games and won three games with Zhang Chi and Liu Xiong, but he didn't plan to continue playing.

"I'm going back."

"So soon? It's not even noon yet."

"You guys should go back earlier too. This internet cafe... well... isn't very good."

Guan Ren left after saying this, and Zhang Chi and Liu Xiong looked at each other.

"What do you mean, Brother Ren?"

"I think... those people I'm talking about."

Zhang Chi pursed his lips quietly, and Liu Xiong followed his gaze and saw a group of tattooed guys with dyed yellow hair in the corner.

Looking at the other side, there were several middle-aged men wearing leather jackets and with scars on their faces chopping down legends.

There were also some students smoking cigarettes and wearing the uniform of the famous gangster middle school No. 3.

Liu Xiong's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly understood what Guan Ren meant. He looked at Zhang Chi again.

"Brother Chi, how do you say..."

"Xing'an Road always seems to have this smell, and even new internet cafes can't escape it..."

"Damn it, luckily I didn't take advantage of the discount to top up."

"I have 2 dollars left. Let's finish it first and don't come to this place again."

……

Although the environment of the small county town in 2011 was much better than that in the 0s, it was still a small county town after all, and secondly, it was 2011 after all.

Although many gangsters have been cleared out, there are still some idle and unemployed vagrants left, and they are not good people.

Especially in certain neighborhoods that have a certain "tradition".

For example, Xing'an Road where this new thinking store is located.

Guan Ren still remembers that when he was in elementary school, he could sometimes see gangsters causing trouble on Xing'an Road in broad daylight, just like in the movie "Young and Dangerous".

Since then, the gathering places for this type of people have mainly been Internet cafes, billiard halls, etc.

Therefore, parents who have experienced that period still have a certain aversion to such places, and the "prohibition of commercial venues" in school rules are not unreasonable.

……

Examples like this are actually just a small part of the unhappiness that everyone is experiencing in this era.

When Guan Ren saw those people in the Internet cafe today, he had a lot of insights and gave himself a reminder:
My nostalgia for the past is just a nostalgia for my youth, not a nostalgia for the era when many aspects needed to be improved.

……

"If you don't experience it yourself, it's hard to realize how fast the country is developing and progressing..."

When Guan Ren returned to the gate of the community, he couldn't help but express his feelings.

But when these words came out of his mouth, he sounded a bit mature.

"Hey, Xiao Guan."

"What's the matter, sir?"

Just as he was about to enter the complex, the experienced security guard, Uncle Lin, called out to Guan Ren:

"What do you think? Are you free now? You agreed to play chess with me this morning. Come on, set up the chess."

"..."

Guan Ren was just being perfunctory in the morning, so why did this old man take it seriously?

But Uncle Lin is also an acquaintance.

When he was a naughty child, Guan Ren threw dog shit into other people's houses. When he was discovered, people wanted to beat him, but it was Uncle Lin who protected him.

"Master, I'm not good at this."

"It's okay, go ahead and get off. I'll let you go."

……

The conditions at the guardhouse were not very good. Uncle Lin just placed a thin wooden board on a plastic stool with a chessboard painted on it himself.

Guan Renjian just fought with him twice, and surprisingly, they fought back and forth.

Guan Ren even had a slight lead of one game.

Moreover, seeing that Uncle Lin was touching his gradually red and warm boiled egg head more and more frequently, Guan Ren began to doubt whether he had given in to him or not.

In order to get home earlier and for the sake of the old man's heart, Guan Ren deliberately took a wrong step:
"Oops! I fired the wrong shot! I regret it so much..."

"That won't do! It's bad luck to regret a move!"

Uncle Lin's eyes widened, and he happily stopped his hand:

"Xiao Guan, I've already given you the upper hand, but you can't push your luck any further, hehe... General!"

Snapped!
The old man dropped a chess piece and almost overturned the chessboard.

"Okay, the old ones are still the best. Uncle Lin, you win today. We'll fight again another day. I'm going home first."

"go Go."

Guan Ren ran upstairs in a flash.

However, what Guan Ren didn't know was that while Uncle Lin was slowly clearing away the chessboard, his eyes, which were not at all cloudy, were staring at his back, showing considerable interest.

"This kid...turned it around and gave it to me... kind of interesting..."

————————————After returning home, Guan Ren checked his email first.

no reply.

This is probably because the editor is not working on weekends.

Guan Ren was not worried and was still confident about his submission.

Even if an editor makes a mistake, the worst that can happen is that he will just vote it down. Gold will always shine.

It’s better to spend the rest of the time on studies.

Especially since the monthly exam is coming up before National Day, Guan Ren also wants to improve as much as possible before then.

Of course, he didn't care about Li Min's warning.

Mainly because of the idea of ​​being responsible for himself, Guan Ren really wants to test his potential through the monthly exam.

At the same time, it was also to prevent the person who was on a business trip in the city from worrying about it.

"At least when Sister Qiao Yun comes back, I can give her a good answer..."

Guan Ren muttered this to himself as he flipped open his first-year high school math textbook and reference book and began writing and drawing on scratch paper...

----------

Of course, apart from mathematics, Guan Ren will not fall behind in other subjects.

Among all the subjects in [3+X], Guan Ren's best performance is Chinese.

The second is English.

The worst subject is mathematics and comprehensive science related to mathematics.

Among the comprehensive science subjects, biology is better because many of them can be memorized.

But chemistry and physics are not the same.

Especially physics.

As the old saying goes, "Mathematics and physics are inseparable", which is why Guan Ren wants to start with mathematics to improve his grades.

"Anyway, let's do some questions first to test our flexibility."

Guan Ren was eager to try. He took out a set of physics test papers that he had done at some unknown time, covered the answers he had prepared with draft paper, and only looked at the questions.

"As shown in the figure, a triangle..."

Wow? Isn't that a little slider?
It's been a long time since we last met, and you still feel like you're being friendly. Come on, let me check how slippery you are.

At first Guan Ren was quite optimistic.

Because physics is somewhat more interesting than mathematics.

Guan Ren thought that he should have forgotten less of his physics knowledge.

However, the reality is cruel.

"Oh my god... why are there so many formulas..."

A simple mechanics problem did not test Guan Ren's elasticity, but it did test his upper limit: he couldn't even understand the question.

Indeed, compared with high school mathematics, high school physics requires more memory.

But the problem is, he forgot all the essence.

"What are mgs? Mango trees? Rose color? And what are μmgs?"

The essence of high school physics is of course the formulas.

During the exam, marks are given based on formulas.
But Guan Ren almost forgot the formula.

I thought physics would be better than math, but now it seems I have to start from the high school textbooks.

……

But it doesn’t matter, it’s about studying. Guan Ren loves studying now.

Not to mention love, but at least I am more subjective and proactive than before.

The key reason for this is that Guan Ren found that studying is actually much simpler than working before.

After all, learning is a process of receiving, while working is a process of giving.

No matter how difficult the questions are, at least they are much more refreshing than those reports and data at work, the occasional CAD software crashes, and the dazzling drawings.

You should know that if you don’t know how to solve a problem, you can ask the teacher or look up information.

But at work, there is not so much room for error, and if you make a mistake, you may lose your job.

Of course, teenagers’ ability to withstand pressure may be different from that of adults.

But Guan Ren is different.

Even though he seems very young in some aspects of his mentality due to the influence of hormones and energy, some things deep in his heart are still at the level of an adult.

For example, subjective initiative and stress resistance.

Anyway, Guan Ren is not so resistant to learning now, and he can take many things more open-mindedly. Naturally, he is not under so much pressure, and his learning efficiency has improved.

“…sliding friction f = μN…”

“…static friction 0 ≤ fstatic ≤ fm…”

“…G=mg, direction vertically downward, g is 10m/s…”

"...I see, I figured it out! It's much quicker to solve problems with a formula~..."

In the end, Guan Ren unknowingly studied the first-year high school physics and mathematics from Saturday until the evening of the next day, Sunday.

Apart from eating and sleeping, I really focused on it.

Most of the content that Guan Ren returned to the teacher was finished by him in the past two days.

He also wrote down some things that he really didn't understand and prepared to ask his deskmate or teacher for help.

If you have to choose, it is better to ask your deskmate for advice.

After all, it’s the same topic, and if the other party’s presentation is beautiful, pleasant, and nice to hear, then why not do it?

Ok…

Of course, the teacher's words...

Actually, there is such a person, who looks good, sounds good and smells good...

but…

"But Teacher Gu teaches Chinese. Right now I have to focus on math and science, so I probably won't have much interaction with her for the time being..."
