GRMFBS CH129

Zhan Yan was surrounded by a group of old professors.

Gu Jiancheng sulked.

While sulking, he followed along and learned, learning both well and quickly.

The old professors praised, “Young people just have sharp minds; they learn so quickly.”

When it was time to leave, the old professors hadn’t finished learning. Knowing that Zhan Yan did morning exercises every day, they made an appointment to learn from him for the next few days as well.

It was time to go to the cafeteria for breakfast. Zhan Yan looked at Gu Jiancheng’s handsome face pulled into a long pout and couldn’t hold back his laughter.

“You can’t learn so fast,” Zhan Yan said.

Gu Jiancheng was puzzled.

Isn’t it impressive that I learn both quickly and well?

Zhan Yan: “Do you still want to go to the haunted house?”

Gu Jiancheng recalled their last haunted house experience and had a sudden realization.

A miscalculation! In a haunted house, being scared allows for sticking close. Learning Yijin Jing slowly allows for hands-on teaching.

Next time when we learn the Five-Animal Frolics, I’ll definitely learn slowly and need a lot of correction!

In the afternoon, it was time to choose this year’s elective courses. A few of them were in the dorm room picking their classes in advance.

“What classes are you all choosing?” Duan Hong asked. “I’m choosing Avian Pathology and Imaging.”

“I want to choose Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine,” Bao Qingshan sighed, “but I don’t think I can get in. I’d better pick something else.”

Zhan Yan looked at the course schedule with a frown. “I also want to choose Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine, and Acupuncture. But both are too popular.”

Bao Qingshan patted him. “I don’t think your hand speed is very reliable either.”

Duan Hong: “These two courses are always a mad dash every year. It’s okay if you don’t get in. They’re elective courses, so you can just sneak into the classroom and listen.”

Gu Jiancheng: “I’ll help you get them. You’ll definitely get in!”

He took Zhan Yan’s phone, full of confidence and ready to go.

The hand speed of the great Shadow Lord was very reliable.

Gu Jiancheng joyfully showed Zhan Yan his phone screen. “Look!”

He had gotten into both classes.

Zhan Yan held Gu Jiancheng’s phone. “I didn’t manage to get them for you…”

Gu Jiancheng: “It’s okay, I’m not interested in those two courses.”

He wasn’t very interested in the whole field of veterinary medicine. He was only continuing his studies to enjoy a campus romance with his boyfriend.

Zhan Yan: “But then you’ll have to choose other courses to get your credits.”

Gu Jiancheng: “Then I’ll just choose other courses.”

Zhan Yan: “But the schedules of the remaining courses all overlap with these two.”

Gu Jiancheng: “…Huh?”

Zhan Yan: “Which means we’ll have to take different classes separately sometimes.”

Gu Jiancheng: …

Can’t stick to my boyfriend anymore.

Sob.

Zhan Yan took a moment to check the “Did You Get Your Gossip Today?” group. The time was too short for the various information experts to work their magic, so there was no news about Monster Doctor yet.

However, the Abnormal Affairs Management Bureau and the Wan Yao Alliance were in conflict again. Zhan Yan scrolled through the gossip.

Oh, so a while ago, the Linyuan Ghost King discovered the traces of the battle between Shenying and the Black Nest and told the Abnormal Affairs Management Bureau and the Wan Yao Alliance.

Both organizations sent people to investigate, and a conflict broke out at the scene, so they started fighting again. It didn’t delay their investigation, though.

Let them fight. Working while fighting has become a habit for these two.

The family group chat started having new messages again.

Zhan Yunkai: “[Image][Image]”

“The grapes have arrived.”

Ji Yueming: “[Thumbs up][Thumbs up]”

“@Zhan Yan What variety are these grapes?”

“The taste is very special, delicious.”

Zhan Yunkai: “But they’re not easy to preserve. Almost half of them were spoiled when they arrived.”

“I’ll try making some jam.”

“I can also try making juice and freezing it to see if the taste changes much.”

Currently, there was only feedback from his parents. His older brother and sister had been busy these past two days and hadn’t come home yet.

Zhan Yunkai and Ji Yueming were both very satisfied with the grapes. Most importantly, eating them was also a wonderful experience.

When eating grapes by oneself, peeling the skin and spitting out the seeds are troublesome. But when two people eat together, peeling grapes for each other becomes a romantic gesture!

The Abnormal Affairs Management Bureau and the Wan Yao Alliance were bickering, while the two big bosses were sweetly feeding each other grapes.

Zhan Yunkai was quick with his hands. By the time Zhan Jinli and Zhan Suiru came home, there were only five grapes left for each of them. The rest had been used by Zhan Yunkai to try making various grape products.

When the two came home, they first drank the grape juice. Both of them thought it was a mixed juice of lychee and grape.

Zhan Suiru: “Delicious! I like this grape.”

Zhan Yan: “That’s great.”

“@Zhan Jinli Brother, what do you think?”

Zhan Suiru: “He’s adding honey to the grape juice and dipping the grape pulp in white sugar.”

Zhan Jinli: “…”

“Stop slandering me.”

He admitted to adding honey to the grape juice, but who dipped the pulp in sugar? He always ate fresh fruit directly, okay?

Zhan Yan suddenly thought of a question.

Zhan Yan: “Brother, what do fruits taste like to you?”

His brother even added honey to freshly squeezed juice. Would ordinary fruit taste very sour to him without adding sugar?

Zhan Jinli: “Fragrant.”

“Just the fragrance of the fruit itself.”

Zhan Yan: “Doesn’t it taste bland or very sour?”

Zhan Jinli: “Poor quality fruit tastes bland, with no flavor.”

“I can taste sour, but it doesn’t feel very sour.”

“This grape is really good.”

I get it! His brother just had an abnormal preference for sweetness, but because of this, he was exceptionally sensitive to the fragrance of fruits. He cared more about whether the fruit was fragrant than whether it was sweet.

Then this grape was really suitable for his brother’s taste!

Ji Yueming: “This grape is good. Where did you buy it?”

Zhan Yan: “It’s a grape from a small county called Mentong.”

“But this grape doesn’t transport well and isn’t famous, so it doesn’t make much money. They’re about to go out of business over there.”

“They’re preparing to cut down all the grapevines.”

Zhan Yunkai: “This grape is also good for making juice and preserving.”

“Let me test how long its fragrance can be preserved.”

Ji Yueming: “I’ll go talk to Luoluo later. We’ll invest in a grape processing plant and boutique sales in Mentong County.”

My older son is always quiet and doesn’t ask for much. It’s rare for him to find a fruit he likes. Let’s arrange it!

Zhan Yan quickly contacted Luo Luoluo.

This batch of grapes that Puyang Xia had ripened early had received widespread negative reviews due to the spoilage problem. Mentong County had already lost hope of keeping the grapes and was planning to take advantage of the spring season to quickly cut them down and plant other fruit trees.

If they had contacted them later, there probably would have been no more Mentong great grapes.

Because Zhan Yan was the one who initiated this matter, he also participated in some of it. Between classes and company matters, plus the task of grinding for stars and following the gossip group, Zhan Yan hadn’t had time to go on the Superpower Forum these past few days. He figured there probably wasn’t much going on.

The great Shadow Lord, who hadn’t received a reply from Approaching Science for several days in a row: …

He hasn’t been online for so long. Could something have happened to Approaching Science?

Gu Jiancheng started contacting Jack-of-all-trades to ask about the situation.

Jack-of-all-trades was a network-type. Although he hadn’t managed to get into the information experts’ gossip group, he still had connections. He found Happy Guessing Game and asked.

Happy Guessing Game: “Approaching Science? He’s fine. He’s been happily gossiping in the group every day recently.”

Jack-of-all-trades relayed this information.

Gu Jiancheng: …Heh heh!

Jack-of-all-trades: “Boss, what do you need Approaching Science for? Maybe I can do it too.”

Gu Jiancheng: “You should focus on your game first. Are you almost done?”

Jack-of-all-trades: “Almost, almost! I’m a network-type, so this is super easy for me! I’m actually free recently.”

Gu Jiancheng didn’t say anything. Jack-of-all-trades heard the silence on the other end of the line and asked cautiously, “Boss?”

Gu Jiancheng: “It’s nothing.”

He hung up the phone, his brows gradually furrowing.

Jack-of-all-trades had been with him for a long time. The two of them had started collaborating back in Infinite. He knew Jack-of-all-trades well.

In Infinite, Jack-of-all-trades was not a network-type. To be precise, there was no “network-type” concept in Infinite. The types of instance worlds in Infinite were many and varied. Many worlds had no network at all, or once had a network that had already collapsed.

Network-type abilities were useless in many Infinite instances; the adaptability was too low. A pure network-type player simply couldn’t survive in Infinite.

Jack-of-all-trades had only become a network-type after the destruction of Infinite and entering this world.

There was something strange about this world. It wasn’t just that this world had yaos, ghosts, cultivators, and various strange foreign systems like centaurs and druids, but something else—Gu Jiancheng had never discussed his network-type ability with Jack-of-all-trades before. He had easily accepted the change in Jack-of-all-trades’ ability, and Jack-of-all-trades had also started using his new ability with incredible naturalness.

Neither of them had felt there was anything wrong with this change, and they hadn’t even thought about talking about it.

Network-type, network-type… Gu Jiancheng began to recall.

When he had just arrived in this world, his after-effects were erupting because of his fight with Infinite, and he had no energy to pay attention to this matter. Later, he survived the outbreak period. Although the after-effects were still very serious, he shouldn’t have completely ignored such a problem.

Had other players who survived from Infinite also become network-types? He hadn’t paid attention. He needed to check with the Retirees’ Alliance.

Before becoming network-types, what were their abilities in Infinite? He remembered Jack-of-all-trades was previously…

“Ugh!” Zhan Yan suddenly stumbled.

“Yanyan?” Gu Jiancheng steadied him. “What’s wrong? Are you not feeling well somewhere?”

Zhan Yan leaned on his arm and rested for a while. “It’s nothing. Maybe it’s low blood sugar.”

Zhan Yan touched his head. He had suddenly felt a little dizzy just now, but it was better now. Did I eat too little for breakfast?

A peeled fruit candy was suddenly offered before his eyes.

Zhan Yan lowered his head and popped the candy into his mouth. Green apple flavor.

“Why are you carrying candy with you?”

Gu Jiancheng: “Didn’t you like to eat them for a while?”

Zhan Yan looked quite puzzled.

Didn’t Gu Jiancheng think he was becoming a sugar addict before?

Gu Jiancheng crumpled the candy wrapper. “Ah… it’s just, what if you want to eat one again?”

Getting addicted to sugar is not good, so it needs to be controlled. But I was afraid Zhan Yan would suffer too much from the control. Anyway, a sugar addiction isn’t a big problem, it can be adjusted slowly. It’s not a big deal to have a small piece occasionally. So…

Zhan Yan pushed the candy to the side of his mouth, his cheek puffing out. “Let’s go, let’s go to class together.”

He had no classes in the afternoon, but Gu Jiancheng did. Zhan Yan decided to accompany his clingy boyfriend to class.

The course he had chosen for Gu Jiancheng was one he had taken last year. He had chosen it for Gu Jiancheng because he thought the course was taught well. But a well-taught course was also popular, and the classroom filled up in no time.

The lecturer was Professor Miao, the hidden cat-loving fanatic who had taught their practical class before.

Professor Miao looked up at the new students who had just entered but couldn’t find a seat. “The seats in this class are quite limited. For students who haven’t selected the course, please don’t attend for now. Let the students who have selected it have their seats. This course is open to students from freshman to senior year.”

Professor Miao’s eyes were sharp. “Zhan Yan, didn’t you take this course last year? What? You miss me so much you want to review it again?”

The classroom erupted in laughter.

Zhan Yan stood up helplessly, preparing to leave.

Gu Jiancheng looked at him pitifully.

Professor Miao: “The student next to him, stop looking. You have to listen carefully even if you’re alone. I’ll be calling on you to answer questions later.”

Gu Jiancheng: …

Zhan Yan: Pfft.
