Chapter 187 - : Shop Item: Book With Unknown Ability
Su Yang opened Deeny and turned the phone into a tablet. He said, “Deeny, show me the statistics for the two apps from yesterday.”
Deeny’s voice sounded in Su Yang’s ears through the bone conduction earphones, “Okay, Master.”
Several windows then popped up on the tablet, and every single one of them was showing the data of the two apps from yesterday.
Su Yang went through the data and realized that the part-time app got around 1,000 new users yesterday alone but only around 200 of them took up jobs.
With previous examples as references, he could get 200 Point Coins at most from the users, so where did the other 300 Point Coins come from?
Su Yang opened the Gold Mission. The number of changed lives had also increased by more than 500 yesterday alone; it was already at 2163/10000. He felt like he could complete it in less than two months.
The increase in the number of changed lives matched the increase of Point Coins, which meant that nothing was wrong with the system.
After Su Yang pondered about the question for a long while, he believed that the only possible explanation would be “Find Me” and the milk tea shop.
Su Yang thought about it for a moment and rejected Old Zhou’s offer, “Let’s do it another time. I’ve been quite busy recently…”
Old Zhou did not force him either.
After the quick chat, Su Yang wanted to walk away, but Old Zhou was persistent. “Su Yang! Where’s your book? Why didn’t you bring your book again?”
Old Zhou went up to him and said, “You can’t be like this. You must at least bring your textbook to class. Otherwise, how are you going to learn? Are you going to study when you go back?”
Embarrassed, Su Yang said, “Mr. Zhou, I…can remember everything!”
Old Zhou was skeptical about his excuse, so he said, “Then, try to recite what I thought just now.”
All Su Yang could think of were characters like Romeo and Juliet, Mr. Dongpo and the wolf[1] or Lu Dongbin and the dog[2].
Since Su Yang did not show any response, Old Zhou patted his shoulder again and said, “I’ll spare you on the notes this time, but try to bring your book for the next class.”
Su Yang could say nothing else except, “Thank you, sir.”
[1] It’s a story about Mr. Dongpo saving a wolf, but the wolf did not appreciate the help and tried to attack Mr. Dongpo and his donkey.
[2] Lü Dongbin (796 CE-1016 CE) was a Tang Dynasty Chinese scholar and poet who has been elevated to the status of an immortal in the Chinese cultural sphere. The kindness of Lü Dongbin is demonstrated in the Chinese proverb “dog bites Lü Dongbin” (狗咬呂洞賓 gŏu yăo Lǚ Dòngbīn), which means an inability to recognize goodness and repay kindness with vice.
