(Today’s sunset glow is really beautiful!)
It’s time to go home!
As soon as he gets home, he throws out his schoolbag and puts on his slippers (tuō xié). Then the first thing was to look for his phone because his mother usually uses his phone to brush Douyin — to make money by completing some tasks the platform publishes.
“I found you in time!” Sandy says in excitement.
Then he starts brushing videos…
(It’s only 27 days left before school opens, and you’re actually brushing videos here…)??video.
“Stupid!”
(Winter holiday is a great chance to overtake (chāo chē) in bends…)
“Don’t overtake others casually (suí biàn), it’s impolite.”Sandy says.
After a while, hh speaks, “So you intend to brush videos all the time? What about your homework?”
“Homework? I have finished most of it. The remaining homework waits to be done before school opens. Wait! Have you finished your updating?”
(In fact, all teachers have given out homework to students before the last examination so the students don’t need to go back to school after the exam and it also gives students a chance to “settle” a part of homework. That is, they don’t even need to go back to school to get the grades. They will receive their grades on their phones.)
“Yes. When you finished the exam, I finished my updating.”
“Are you sure? But how to explain that you suddenly spoke when we were talking about the winter camp?”
“I’m your system, please! A universal (wàn néng), invincible (wú dí) and ‘people see people love, flower sees flower bloom’ system. To put it simply, I can observe you secretly.”
“Zhuang Ni Ye! So your new form is just ‘updating’, right?”
“Whatever. I have upgraded, after all.”
“I don’t care. You lied to me. You should
compensate (bǔ cháng) me!”
“I think so.”
“Wo Qu! Really? I just said it casually,” Sandy thinks to himself.
“Then I won’t give you that?”
“Cow!”
“Just kidding!”
「Ding — Your compensation has been given out in the storage space.」
Hearing that, Sandy doesn’t have the heart to brush videos.
He opens his system panel.
「A self-choose skin, three double EXP cards, a chance to let me control you, 500 ?? and 50 gems.」
“NB! NB! NB!” Sandy doesn’t know what to say.
“Use the self-choose skin first, for — my eraser (sss), certainly!”
「sss: ①Super 2B. ②Captain America’s shield. ③Red brick. ④Riot shield…」
“I won’t choose the 2B…”
“It can match your 2B pencil (sss) and bring more buffs.”
“Really? Then I… don’t choose it, I choose the second — Captain America’s shield.”
「Congratulations, Host, you gain the eraser’s skin — Super 2B (abbreviation（jiǎn chēng）: S B).」
“What the **! Again? Are you kidding me?”
“Listen to my chicanery (jiǎo biàn). You said you chose the ‘two’; moreover, only ‘Super 2B’ has ‘2’. So…”
“***! ******!”
Then hh shows the buff that the SB suit brings.
Sandy stops reviling (mà), “Can I change the suit’s name?”
(The specific information is at the end of this chapter — system panel.)
“Actually, you also have an exam reward including nine subjects.”
“Nine subjects? You mean that I will get at least 9 rewards?” Sandy is really surprised.
“Yes, receive now?”
“Of course!”

“WC! WC! W—C—!” Sandy doesn’t know what to say at all. “You are my best hh!”
……
After three days, it comes to the time to look for the marks.
Sandy receives the news that the marks have come out in the student WeChat group while he is brushing videos.
:The score has come out!
:Really?
:Where to query?
:In this small routine,
Sandy switches his application from Bilibili to WeChat and looks through these messages.
He clicks the small routine delivered by his classmate with excited and nervous feelings……
He skips the ad, and then…
At this moment, Sandy’s mother speaks in the kitchen, “Your score has come out.” peacefully.
Sandy can’t hear the mood in it, then he asks,
“How?” His heart seems to be lifted so that he can even hear his beat clearly…
“Hen! Go and see for yourself.”
His heart beats faster.
The ad interface disappears and then it appears…
The register interface.
Sandy has filled in the account information until now,he doesn’t click “log in” and remains on this interface.
In fact, he really wants to know his score, but now, he hesitates, worrying about whether he will get a low mark.
His hands holding the phone shake slightly.
Log in…
899 (full mark: 1050)
His suspended heart finally died……
“Wei! There is also a rank below,” hh reminds him.
Grade rank: 361.
Class rank: 36.
Sandy’s eyes became light instantly and his heart resumed beating. Although there are 910 students in Grade 10 in SL and each class has 40 students.
“I actually made progress!” His last rank was 478. “But my score got lower.”
Meanwhile, he receives Buzz’s news.——
Buzz: How?
Sandy: Not good, not bad. You?
Buzz: What’s your score?
Sandy: You tell me first.
Buzz: You first!
Sandy: You!
……
Sandy: 899!
Buzz: 899.5! Ha ha!
Sandy: [Inverted thumb](dào mǔ zhǐ)×3
Sandy: What about your rank?
Buzz: 360; 35.
Suddenly Sandy’s phone flies into the air and then falls on the bed.
He is speechless thoroughly. Since his last score was 918 and Buzz’s was 919, his last rank was 439 and Buzz’s was 438, he thinks he can take over Buzz this time. Now, he can just think.
At this time, he receives a message sent by Janet.
Janet: Do you want to take part in the winter camp?
What? Why does he have the chance to attend it?
Only those who have outstanding performance in school can have the chance to be chosen to take part in it. To put it bluntly, those who have better grades can join it.
But Sandy? His class rank is 36 and not to mention his grade rank. What qualifications (zī gé) does he have? He is just a very, very, very common student like all senior high students, like us.
So he sends —
Sandy: What?
Janet: If you don’t want to join it, I will tell our class teacher directly.
Sandy: Wait!
Sandy: I mean that — How could it be my turn?
Janet: Our class has five quotas (míng é). The people in our class either go back to their hometown or are ill except Colette, Edgar and I. So nobody can join.
Sandy: What a “coincidence”!(qiǎo) Did you say we have 5 quotas?…
Janet: You can bring your Buzz.
Sandy: Nice! I agree to participate. Please help me tell our class teacher. Thank you! [flower] ×3
Janet: OK!
Sandy: Just forgot to ask you — Are you also the no.1 this time?
Janet: Yes. But I’ve regressed — 999. (Last time she scored 1023). And you?
Sandy: …
Sandy: 899.
Janet: I also thought you would get a higher score. But it doesn’t matter, you made progress at least. See you three days later!
Sandy: See you!
As the market came out, it signals that Sandy’s winter break will start formally. Maybe for us ours had begun early after the examination. His holiday starts and the winter camp will also start. I didn’t intend to write about the holiday originally; that is, I planned to skip it because it’s too agonizing (painful) for me to write about it when I’m studying at school, which is just the opposite of what I’m writing.
But what can I say? I thought of the winter camp.
It’s a good chance, I think.
So I will……
“Grass! It turns out it's you, hh!” Sandy cries(yell) suddenly and disturbs me. “I knew it couldn’t be such a coincidence! I should have thought of that earlier!”
“Smart!” hh says in a calm and measured tone, “It seems that the adding attributes are also a little useful.”
“But, how can you impact the reality……wait, I remember that you changed my phone key in the former……”
Sandy’s feeling becomes shaking from confusion. “You can influence the reality! How strong are you on earth!”
“Guess!”
“So what did you do for them?” His tone (voice) turns cold.
“Rest assured (Don’t worry.). They won’t die.”
“You!……” Sandy doesn’t know how to say. “Would you kill me?”
“Alright, let me tell you directly — I could do anything if I want to do. But I won’t kill you.”
Sandy is lost in thought and doesn’t say anything.
“Forget it. Go to sleep.” As hh says, Sandy falls asleep.
Yes, this dialogue occurs in the moment when Sandy is ready to fall asleep, he suddenly thought of that. Now, he falls asleep, let’s continue our dialogue.
So I will write the content of this winter camp in detail.That means I will write it for several chapters.
But why did I divide the previous chapter（14） into several sections?It's so long.I forgot to tell you about that. On the one hand, I don’t know how to name them. On the other hand, my classmate said that each of my chapter is a bit short although his English isn’t very good. So I will write longer than before from now on. It’s also a practice for you, and for me.
Besides, the following chapters will not be about study. I must state this in advance, because — you know, my novel’s English name is — “Knowledge Has No Limit”. It is certainly about study. In fact, I always think the “Learning” is better than the “Knowledge”. (The English name was I used Doubao to translate.) Because, I want to say — Learning has no limit. The limit is not just the limit, it’s also the boundary. It has no range. The study is just a part of the learning. You play phone is a learning — let’s learn how to play phone better. You learn to live. You learn to grow up. You learn to take responsibility. Study isn’t the only thing in your life……
Originally, the former words shouldn’t be written in PS, but I hope you can understand it (maybe I’m wrong.) and there are others in PS.
……
Now that Sandy has fallen asleep, let’s take a look at his current strength.(Tip: You can skip it if you don’t want to look these. It’s mainly for me because I had changed my book. It’s convenient for me to compare it. Why do I place it in the last? Do you remember the third chapter? It’s really — embarrassing!)

Oh! Sandy has waken up. I have to quit and leave.
After a night, he forgets everything that occurred yesterday.
(PS: Why did Janet ask Sandy directly? She knew Sandy didn’t go back to his hometown or didn’t have illness? Why hh can impact the reality? Maybe you can try to guess! Let’s enter Sandy’s winter camp together!)
