At the end of the Chinese class, Sandy doesn't use his exploration skill because he has explored all students in class. Now, to his surprise, he starts to listen to the Chinese class carefully.
But the system won't let him succeed.
"Host, don't Zhuang! Here is your third task for you to choose."
"Don't disturb me while I'm focusing in class."
"Zhuang Ni Ye! Class is about to end. OK! Then I judge you didn't complete the task and will deduct your money."
"What can I say? ...... Give me the choices."Sandy agrees reluctantly（wu nai）.
"Arts(wen ke) or Sciences(li ke)? If you choose the Arts, the clue to your legendary task will be useful."
"Obviously, it's a legendary task. What are the rewards?"Sandy is balancing the difficulty and rewards.
"I can tell you one thing —There is 10000 ?? in Arts's rewards."
"This, this, this, this ......" Sandy chooses it without any thought.
「Ding — The clue is activated. Tip: Look up at the moon tonight.」
"Werewolf?"(wolf people kill)
"Yes, yes, yes, you're right!"
"Hahahaha......" Sandy suddenly stops laughing and says, "Zhuang Ni Ye!"
While he is doing his homework during evening self-study, he asks the system angrily, "Why did you disturb me while I was studying? Do you help me study? You are making things difficult for my study."
"Eee...... Because...... Eeeee...... Oh! Because I want you to learn from me instead of your teacher."
"Yue~~~~, don't gross me out. By the way, what's your INT?"
「Ding — Detection failed.」
"Ahahaha! Same as Buzz, stupid."
He turns to Buzz ，laughing, but when he sees that Buzz is smiling at him too, his smile freezes. "Hey, Zzbu! What the hell are you smiling at?"
"I want to play basketball. Lalalalalalalala, Curry, Curry, Curry,Curry!"
"Stupid!"
During the rest of the evening self-study, Sandy constantly looks up to watch the moon in the hallway（zou lang）, but he can't find it.
The sky is really dark. It seems that there is nothing but darkness, and it devours everything. No stars, no start.
Sandy finally finds the moon while he is brushing his teeth in dormitory.
"Maybe I need to stay up to complete this task."
"Take it easy. I won't let you stay up, so it won't affect your study tomorrow."
"Wow! When the fox preaches, take care of your geese!"(A yellow mouse wolf pays New Year calls to chicken--doesn't place a good heart.)
It's time to turn off the lights and Sandy's roommates have gone to bed. Sandy takes a few tissues to pretend to go to the toilet.
"It's too late and you "take off"?" His roommate says.
"I'm going to the bathroom, not "take off"." He answers.
Sandy comes to the balcony(yang tai) and closes the dormitory curtains(chuang lian). He closes the bathroom door and makes a loud noise, standing outside the WC.
It's very dark.
He stands near the window guards on the balcony and takes a deep breath. "Legendary task rewards, I'm coming."
He looks up at the night sky....... 1......2......3.
Suddenly, the moon flashes and becomes more luminous(bright) than before. The stars appear one by one, group by group. How spectacular it is! How shocking!
The stars are like innumerable(countless) dreamy crystals(shui jing), containing everything in the world, in history, and now they are flashing and flashing......
"What the hell!"
The moonlight is like flowing water and materializes(huan hua chu) an illusory(xu huan) silhouette nearby Sandy.
An old man. Pale face and pale hair. Wearing ancient clothing.
"Hey, boy! Listen! L......" The old man says and looks at Sandy.
「Di di di — Host! Brain overload!」
Sandy's head feels like it's going to explode. "Er......"The scene before Sandy's eyes returns to reality.
It's so dark......
Sandy is out of breath and hasn't recovered from it.
"What the hell!"
「Start」
He sees the system panel in front of him.
"False......"
「Ding — Detecting Host's brain is "opened". You can use the Confucius's draft paper (fake) now in this situation.」
"Use it."
Then he eats it......
"Yummy!~~~" (Yue~~~)
「Ding — Congratulations, Host! Eat(shi yong,use) the Confucius's draft paper (fake)(ss), 2 INT, 1 Strength, acquire(learn) 0.1% true lineage of Confucianism!」
(He has tried to use it before but failed.)
"75 INT, maybe it's OK!" Sandy thinks to himself.
When he chooses the "start", the illusory silhouette appears again.
"So what's the next line of the poem?"
"? What's the previous line of the poem?"
"False."
Sandy's brain has reached the limit......
「Start」
In fact, the old man's mental pressure is too strong and Sandy completely unbearable(unaffordable) it.
He starts again.
"This is your last chance."
"What the **!"
Sandy thinks to himself, "The moon...... look up...... the night...... the poem......"
「Limit......」
His head is going to "explode" again. When his consciousness(“awareness”) is about to fade away, he hurries to use detection on the old man.
「Name: ? INT: ? Strength: ? Glamour: ?」
......
He comes back in front of the system panel but he couldn't click the "start".
"My 10000 ??! Aaaa——"
"Why does he cry out!" On the other side, Sandy's roommates are chatting with each other and suddenly hear Sandy's sound.
This side, Sandy is also "chatting" with the system.
"Are you human? Why make it so hard for me? I don't even know what the question is. Give me back my 10000 ??!" Sandy is crying and throwing a tantrum.
"Guessed right! He is indeed a poet."
(P.S. I'm sure you know who the old man is. Maybe you will guess he is the person that appeared in Sandy's dream in the first chapter, but I'm sorry, they are not the same person. Oh! Remember to see the next page, there is an "English short play". See you next chapter!)
