Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: The Study God Speaks So Greasily

The life of senior high school students is just so dull, boring, and uninteresting.

For example, one test paper per class on average, such as the intense study atmosphere in the advanced class where everyone is bowing their heads to write papers rapidly—

And Chu River stared at the Chinese test paper in front of her, feeling a headache.

Mathematics is indeed an elementary subject of the Star Sea Federation, but the problem is back then, wars were frequent, and cultural subjects weren't compulsory!

Her studies in mathematics, physics, and chemistry were somewhat related to her later major, so there wasn't much of an issue.

But Chinese and English…

Chu River's gaze was empty—

In the Mountain and Sea Star Era, did Zheng Country still need to learn other countries' languages?

Could it be that in terms of language, there hasn't been a unification yet?

Tsk.

She instinctively bit on the pen barrel.

This issue involved historical details—a subject she hadn't mastered, and was unclear about.

But… having just lost Chang Geng, failing the exam would be too embarrassing to mention!

She was the Guardian of the Third Guard Satellite, how could she have such a black history?

Chu River chewed on some milk candy, her gaze fixated on the textbook flipping pages rapidly, while her spiritual power antenna continuously spread, trying to find the core within—

In fact, under 3S level spiritual power, as long as she calmed down and studied carefully, this wouldn't be too difficult.

One major key point of Chinese, classical texts and poetry, she had basically summarized the core patterns in them.

Modern reading comprehension—ah, this was actually a bit difficult.

But it's okay, she had a good memory, by reviewing the papers comprehensively, she could quickly summarize the corresponding templates.

As for writing…

Not to boast, but she had been on the path of constantly writing reviews/apologies/compensation notes/victory declarations since she was 8 years old, so a mere essay was really no problem.

She was even good at meeting word counts, saying 800 words without a single extra punctuation mark.

As for English—

Tsk tsk tsk.

Still have to learn this stuff.

With the English-Chinese dictionaries and her own texts, she found the character patterns, memorized the dictionaries and grammar, and there wasn't much of a problem with the rest.

...

When the bell for the last self-study class rang, Chu River exhaled a long breath.

Great, she wouldn't embarrass Chang Geng!

She knew it all.

The crisis of being a study struggler vanished in no time; Chu River watched her classmates pulling out cards from their desk compartments, and immediately realized—

It's time for lunch.

Mountain and Sea Star cuisine!

Excitedly rubbing her hands!

Gao Tiantian said the Potato Braised Pork for lunch was especially good!

The two girls she had arranged to meet before were already ready with their meal cards, and Chu River stretched her arm, using her 170 cm height to embrace one on each side:

"Let's go."

Looking like a carefree, flamboyant young master.

The two boys in the back row just took out their meal cards, seeing her movements so skilled, with the two girls in her embrace so gentle and adorable, far from the usual fierce look when facing them boys, couldn't help but envy—

"Being a girl is awesome."

"Who wouldn't say so?"

When there were only two or three cats left in the class, Zhao Yue slammed down the pen in her hand—

She had never been ignored like this before!

Did Chu River feel stimulated last night, so she purposely didn't look at her today?

Just wait, it's not over yet.

Tonight, she's definitely going to make her taste a lesson!

...

Though Tianshui Second High School's principal was unprecedentedly thrifty, but since the meal fees were paid by students themselves without requiring school subsidy, this aspect was managed orderly and ordinarily.

Small stir-fries had their delicious taste, and big pot dishes had their specialties.

At this moment, Gao Tiantian, whose family owned a snack store, had no hesitation going up to the second floor for stir-fry dishes.

This way, she didn't have to queue; the taste was good, and the nutrition was rich, making it the first choice for many senior high students.

One dish being expensive, two students could team up to pair two dishes.

Especially some girls with small appetites, three or four share two dishes which was quite normal.

Chu River also followed them up to the second floor, her eyes eagerly eyeing the stir-fry menu, and first ordered a Potato Braised Pork—

However, the card reader made a "beep" sound.

Both cruel and merciless.

And made the balance seem even more distressing.

6.5

The aunt behind the counter raised her voice: "Girl, there's not enough money!"

Ah—

Chu River realized belatedly—

The subsidy is issued on the 7th every month, and it's not time yet?

Chu River: ...

This troublesome card reader.

If it hadn't beeped, I wouldn't have known I was broke, a poor wretch!

How could life be this miserable.

Gao Tiantian and Chen Xinyue were dumbfounded.

They knew Chu River's family conditions weren't good, and she had bonuses and subsidies, but exactly how bad, they hadn't researched due to previously shallow relationships.

But now seeing this glaring balance, they instantly got the idea.

The girls didn't say a word, generously swiped the card. A filled, valuable Potato Braised Pork for 39 yuan was immediately taken off the menu.

Chu River felt deeply gratified at the moment, she patted Gao Tiantian's shoulder:

"Tian Tian, you're so considerate."

Gao Tiantian's cheeks flushed red.

——With such direct help for classmates, the one being helped didn't react, she herself blushed first:

"It's nothing…"

Hurriedly adding: "I'll treat you…"

Chu River was even happier: "Then can we add a few more rice portions? I can't be full with one bowl."

The two girls came to their senses and rushed to the front:

"Use my card! I'll treat you!"

Chu River was even more delighted: "Good sisters are righteous, I won't forget you when I become successful!"

Gao Tiantian: ...

Chen Xinyue: ...

The previous shyness vanished, she tugged at Chu River's clothes:

"Stop saying stuff like that, it's so oily."

Chu River: ...Eh, wasn't I sincere enough?

Fortunately, this oiliness didn't affect Chu River's appetite.

The large portion Potato Braised Pork was enough for three people, added with the two stir-fry dishes the two girls chip in, Chu River single-handedly finished off three bowls of rice, and was finally somewhat satisfied.

"——So delicious!"

Comparing military rations and nutrient fluids, they were simply sewer things!

Damn research institute, every day doesn't do anything good! With the high-concentrated nutritional agent, they keep the dregs and remove the essence—

What kinds of disgusting flavors are these!

What kind of life was I living before?!

And the two girls heard her sigh, and at this moment looked at each other, cautiously saying:

"Chu River, sorry, we didn't know before, turns out your life was so hard…"

Couldn't even eat enough…

Also, the school cafeteria's stir-fry was just that, how was it "so good"?

Oh my!

Could it be they hadn't paid attention before, had the study god only been eating steamed buns and pickled vegetables before!

At this moment, their soft hearts were surging, as if they were caring for their own child feeling sorry for her…

Chu River also boldly put one leg on the stool, elbow rested on the knee:

"That right, I didn't know before either, life is so tough now…"

Tsk tsk tsk.

She shook her head: "No way, I need to think of a way to make some money."

This stance was simply the epitome of laid-back attitude!

If any man did this, he would definitely appear like a ruffian.

But it was Chu River.

The halo of study god.

Tall stature, long legs, fair skin…

Filters layer upon layer loading.

As a result, the two girls stared for a while, unable to resist attaching their gaze to her, unable to tear away.
