Sandy comes back from the balcony, feeling drowsy (hūn chén) and extremely sleepy.
"Why is there the smell of alcohol (jiǔ) on his body?" Sandy's roommate asks.
"Maybe it's been too long for him to don't 'take off' and it has fermented (fā jiào)."
"But it actually smells good!"
After saying this, they all get out of bed and go to Sandy's bed to smell the aroma (xiāng qì). The aroma is all sucked away (xī zǒu) by them.
As the alcohol aroma is sucked away, they feel as drowsy as Sandy. Then they go to bed and quickly start snoring（dǎ hū lù）.
But Sandy wakes up......
Now we have two plans, A and B.
【Plan A: Inhaling（xī） the aroma from each other makes them feel especially happy. (I name it "xī Tè Lè")
Process: Sandy finds that his roommates have the alcohol aroma. He goes to everyone's bed and sucks away their alcohol aroma. Then he falls asleep.
But his roommates wake up, and then they come to Sandy's bed again and move close to him to suck away his alcohol aroma. Then they fall asleep......
Sandy wakes up and notices this again. Then he......
But then they wake up again, then they......
......
Until the sun rises......】
Ok! What's Plan B? Let's restart.
【Plan B: Enjoy the pain alone. (I name it "shòu Zhě")
Process: He wakes up but doesn't know what happened. He tries to fall asleep again but can't.
He starts to think: Who is that old man? How powerful is he?...... If he had chosen the Sciences before, maybe he wouldn't have failed so miserably（cǎn）.
Then he starts to curse (mà) hh......
"*************"
Until the sun rises......】
The endings are the same, but Sandy（I） chooses Plan B because he is(I am) so kind that he doesn't want to cause them sleeplessness.
When Sandy gets out of bed with a tired look, hh finally answers.
"Don't rush! Failure is the mother of success. It's like your mother is Sandy's mother."
"He he! You're saying my mom is failure and I am success?" As his INT increases, he starts to think about the questions more deeply.
"? You think too much. I was just saying."
"You said you wouldn't let me stay up."
"I said I wouldn't let it affect you."
"So?"
"Do you remember the Focus Potion (1h)?"
"Only 1 hour."
"I will extend the time."
"Alright! Use it."
【Ding — Congratulations, Host! You have used the Focus Potion. Now, you can focus on the things you want to do.】
Sandy feels refreshed instantly, and the exhaustion (pí bèi) is swept away, completely.
He listens to classes carefully and takes the initiative to answer questions in class. Many teachers praise him, saying, "You are very good!"
"It strikes me that I can reward you with money or EXP if you answer questions in class."
"I agree with you. But why didn't you say it earlier? I've answered a lot of questions." Sandy is in an excited state and thinks about it for just a second or two. (He will regret.)
"Eeee...... I'll give you 114 ??, okay? ...And 150 EXP."
" A wise man submits to circumstances（shí shí wù zhě wéi jùn jié）. I promise I'll let you watch the dancing video when we get back home."
"Who asked?" (A maiden's (shào nǚ) blushing face surpasses (shèng guò) everything......)
......
But as evening self-study ends and he prepares for bed, he starts to realize something is wrong — He is still in a focused state.
"What the **! I*** , hh!"
"You agreed with me to extend the time earlier."
"! How long?"
"24 hours."
"I ******."
"Sorry, I don't have a mother, to your disappointment."
"You know that too!"
After cursing hh, he starts to calm down — He already knows he can't fall asleep tonight.
He begins to understand the deep meaning of "failure is the mother of success." He gains experience and a lesson from the failure of being "beaten" by the old man......
In this calm state, he finally knows who he is. (You know, but I won't write it). He couldn't know this before because he was under too much pressure and couldn't think calmly.
But now, he can......
「Ding — Congratulations, Host! You have absorbed the lesson from failure and found your true self. Reward: Level 2, you have obtained the word card — 'Moon' (yuè)."」
"! If I succeed......"
" Level 20."
"Oh!"
"Now, I can let you fall asleep." (11:30)
"Forget it. Wait, I want to challenge the two-star function first."
......
The scene cuts to the Education Bureau (jiào yù jú).
"Do you know? I saw two students who are in SL drawing in class. One was drawing the function, the other was drawing basketballs."
"It's time to arrange a universal examination for them."
