Chapter 6, Merit Tasks

A map appears, with a red dot flashing continuously, recorded on a personal computer

Congratulations, Gourd Player. The innate Gourd Lodge you have established currently ranks 43,538,555 in the Huaxia region. You can now publish task information and receive task information.

"Auntie, quickly call Teacher Fang. From now on, you must study diligently with Teacher Fang," Jin Zhaowen said hurriedly.

Apart from the living room, the other rooms are relatively small. A soft, milky white beam of light gently descends from the ceiling. Fang Xin is quite satisfied and stretches lazily, feeling that having such a large space is already sufficient.

The matter was settled just like that, and after having a light dinner, Fang Xin took his leave. Upon exiting, he did not head straight home but instead went to the An Yi Jing Society, as he had swordsmanship practice to attend to every day

Please take a seat, I will go and call Ai Ai

Jin Zhaowen looked through the crack of the door, feeling relieved. She hurriedly took the meat out of the refrigerator and sliced it into shreds

There was not much time left; at dusk, Wu Zhenggang returned home from work. As soon as he entered, he saw the two people studying inside. He immediately tiptoed, helping his wife with the cooking and setting the table, while quietly saying to her: "Ah, a teacher has arrived, and they look quite young"

The child's learning ability has its limits; completing the course in two months is already considered a very tight schedule. I will allocate necessary rest time, so please do not feel free to add more courses. Fang Xin said seriously: "This is my only request; otherwise, I will have to seek someone more capable."

Fang Xin revealed a shy expression; he knew how to gain her trust and make her feel more at ease

Although it is said that there are now some numbers that can be established in the half-plane, the arrangement still reflects each individual's dedication, skill, and cultural connotation

The power of the jade ruyi is currently very weak, but it can sustain three hours of deep learning. Sufficient rest must be taken afterward, so this condition is essential

After completing the initial studies, Fang Xin will choose the first level of Daoist internal cultivation, the first level of Huaxia theology, and the first level of Confucian classics. This constitutes the first level. After completing these, he will only pursue the second level of Daoist internal cultivation, continuously advancing, while no further study requirements will be imposed for other subjects.

Two months? Both individuals exchanged glances, as this duration seemed somewhat short. Normally, it would take a year for regular study, and even for intensive instruction, it would require at least six months.

Of course, as time goes on, it will become even more difficult. After reading through it, I realized that my creditworthiness is still at zero

He is not unaware that it is already quite difficult for society to achieve this, but such sentiments arise quite naturally

The foundation of research in Huaxia culture inherently requires a three-tiered historical approach, a first-tier study of social economics, a first-tier study of social politics and bibliography, as well as the fundamental outlines of Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism, the School of Warfare, the Mohist school, the Legalist school, and the basic outline of the Huaxia pantheon. Once these subjects are mastered, one may then select more specialized branches.

Upon closer inspection, there are still other options that also emerge in mid-air

Originally on Earth, many people donate to charitable organizations, and while there may be selfish motives and desires for blessings and longevity, ultimately it benefits those who are helped

This kind of temperament can only be attained by those who have experienced profound suffering.

I am Fang Xin. Through the United Federation of Charitable Causes of China, I heard that you are in need of a tutor

Ding, you have accepted the post from Wu Zhenggang to guide his daughter Wu Aizai in her studies, with the requirement that she passes the first-level mathematics exam. Your current mathematics level is third-level, and your qualification certification has been approved. This post will earn you ten credit points and ten social contribution points. Do you confirm this?

Of course, it is necessary to equip oneself with corresponding foundational skills. I have chosen five items: the guqin (note that in this world, the guqin has seven strings since the Tang dynasty), the tea ceremony, chess, calligraphy, and painting. As for poetry, ancient texts, and similar subjects, they are easy to learn but difficult to master, and they require both talent and interest, which I lack.

The information connection system has been verified. Input: Congratulations, Gourd Player, you have received a base score of 1500 points. You now possess third-tier skills and have obtained an additional 500 points. You are permitted to upgrade to a semi-plane. Please verify carefully.

The current number of individual network positions in the Huaxia region is sufficient to reach one hundred million, but achieving the third tier is approximately equivalent to reaching the intermediate level. It is akin to the college entrance examination on Earth, where moving up just one point can significantly elevate one's ranking by thousands.

Wu Zhenggang looked at Fang Xin's computer, which was filled with dense teaching materials, making his head spin. This increased Fang Xin's confidence a bit: "Teacher Fang, you are the professional, so you can handle it as you see fit. As parents, we will definitely support you."

I carefully selected a small building, pristine and delicate, subtly nestled within. Upon pushing open the door, I entered a spacious hall. The lighting inside was just right, soft and comfortable

Suddenly, he understood

He was somewhat surprised; he originally thought the other party was a rebellious child who did not study properly. It now appears that learning first-level mathematics is already ahead of schedule

Natural numbers are the numbers we use in everyday life, do you understand? They are the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and so on, one after another, extending to infinity, with no negative numbers

After some consideration, I designed to plant one hundred various flower trees outside, costing 1,000 points. These flower trees in the virtual realm stand gracefully, adorned with golden blossoms, instantly filling the air with a fragrant light like an ocean. Additionally, I spent 300 points to create a bamboo grove, and another 500 points to construct a hill, which attracts the flowing stream downwards

Yes, Teacher Fang, this is the hope I have.

In practical terms, the early practice of Kendo fundamentals is essentially basic training. The fundamental principle lies in the synchronization of the mind and the hand, as well as in training the speed of neural responses. The ability to strike or thrust with composure, power, and accuracy is nearly sufficient.

Miss Wu Manman, I am here to assist you in your studies. I hope that in two months, we will both be able to achieve our own gains. Holding her hand, he said, at that moment, the jade ruyi within his body flashed with an invisible light

Then let us prepare; I would like to see your current level. Fang Xin said this as he had just utilized the precious energy of the jade ruyi to cast a faint charm spell, instilling a sense of goodwill in the other party, all for the sake of a good beginning

Only those who are affluent and leisurely, like oneself, engage in charitable deeds and good works

As soon as La pulled Aiya out, Fang Xin said earnestly: "Ladies, please come over!"

In summary, Fang Xin only wishes to lead a leisurely life in terms of studies

Wu Zhenggang carefully looked at the information on the computer and after a long pause said, "That would be great! If Momo could be like him, I would be happy."

Wu Mamma was momentarily stunned, then her eyes regained clarity as she nodded vigorously.

As soon as Fang Xin arrived at the light sphere in the room, he said: "Fill out the information."

Yes, for the first-level mathematics course, there are 200 teaching hours. Considering Aima's current level and condition, I believe it can be completed within two months, with three hours of teaching each day and several hours of homework. I have already made a plan for this, and I ask both of you to review the plan.

With this information, when using the public bus station, connecting a personal computer to the public system and inputting the route naturally allows for reminders about transfers and changes. Although Fang Xin was unfamiliar with the route, he still arrived at his destination smoothly.

After ascending ten floors, I knocked on the door. A middle-aged woman answered, already aware of the information. This woman is named Jin Zhaowen, thirty-six years old, with a dignified appearance, yet her face was tense.

Currently, one is searching online for suitable images and architectural structures, some of which require spending a few points to purchase; however, they are quite inexpensive, generally priced in the range of tens of points.

Looking at these, Fang Xin felt a surge of emotions. His own villa, his own nutrition warehouse, were luxuries that were usually unattainable for the people here. Even in this world, the only guarantee was the minimum food ration; other things had to be earned through hard work.

The materials have been prepared by mhetushucomcom

The two individuals exchanged glances and then proceeded to sign.

The skill tree chosen by Fang Xin is "Research on Chinese Culture"

Mr. Wu, Ms. Jin, I would like to inquire whether your requirement is to complete the first level of mathematics this year

In that case, please sign above!

Jin Zhaowen felt somewhat puzzled; Wu Maimai had always been taciturn and rather unsociable, so why was she being so close to him?

Fang Xinxin felt a sense of confidence, everything was ready, and after leaving the nutrition chamber, he took a shower and got dressed. He is a boy, and half an hour was sufficient.

First, there is a corridor, softly illuminated by light on the floor. Beyond the corridor lies the void, and above the void, a brilliant radiance emerges, within which countless deities seem to flicker.

Numbers less than zero are marked with a negative sign (−). For example, if you have ten dollars, it is a natural number. However, if you owe someone ten dollars, it is recorded as negative ten dollars. As for rational and irrational numbers, we will learn about them gradually, and you will understand them in due course. Now, let us do another exercise.

This time, all exams have been passed, and the fundamentals have essentially been established, allowing for the selection of a specialization to truly upgrade the skill tree

Even in this world, the government has only addressed the basic needs of the majority of people. However, beyond basic needs, there are countless issues that individuals find difficult to resolve. At this time, some seek assistance from the government, while others turn to charitable organizations. In the nation of China alone, with a population of 800 million, there are certainly many matters to attend to

Fang Xin looked over and saw a little girl, her eyes distinctly black and white, only about twelve or thirteen years old

Many people announce the end of their basic swordsmanship training after three months, but Fang Xin intends to train for a full year. Of course, if Yu Ruyi can accumulate strength as anticipated, the process can be expedited

Once again, there is the hope of raising a daughter to become a dragon, escaping the current situation through education, and early on, many burdens of homework are placed on the child's tender shoulders, involuntarily, he feels a twinge of compassion

In fact, whether or not there is a law of merit in this world is not important; however, those who possess such a mindset are undoubtedly beneficial to society and the world

Ah, he is a student from the Town Technical College. Look at his personal profile; he is only fifteen years old this year. He has completed the third level in mathematics, and all his other subjects have already reached the second level. At his age, he is truly an excellent student

Everything is ready, and we cannot waste time. It is time to replenish the energy of the green jade ruyi, after all, relying solely on oneself makes the process too slow

Jin Zhaowen allowed him to enter, and Yi Fang sighed. With his tall stature and handsome face, these were all acceptable, but what impressed her the most was his refreshing and carefree demeanor

Fang Xin was reading, carefully sensing the resonance of the jade ruyi, and then lit one.

Fang Xin began to inquire about Wu Maimai's homework, asking her to solve problems at times, and immediately adjusted the corresponding teaching courses.

In just a few minutes, someone gently pushed open the door and approached cautiously

Having obtained the study certificate, Fang Xin directly accessed the Huaxia Religious Alliance website to begin the registration process

It has been confirmed that the credit will be recorded in this system, recorded in the social credit system, the information will be sent to the other party, and the posted information will be made public to you, ding

I choose the path

For the sake of the child, she naturally must present her most enthusiastic side

On the other side, there is only one Tai Chi symbol, continuously rotating in mid-air

Do not linger, hurry up, prepare a good meal today. Teacher Fang does not want any money, but the first meal should be a bit more sumptuous. You should go down to the supermarket and buy some ingredients.

In an instant, all other choices faded away, leaving only a singular Taiji floating in the air

Confirm!

By the time Wu Zhenggang returned, Ai Ai had already finished today's classes. Taking advantage of the time, Fang Xin also completed the proposal.

This subject essentially pertains to the cultured individuals on Earth, yet it encompasses a myriad of forms, being easy to learn but difficult to master. It serves as the fundamental core, aiming to clarify the original sources. The time and effort expended are undoubtedly extensive; however, fortunately, this family's circumstances are not of great wealth, yet they are sufficiently comfortable to ensure a life free from financial worries for several generations. Thus, one can dedicate a lifetime to this research.

As soon as he entered, due to his zero credit rating, there were not many opportunities available to him; however, the request board was densely filled with pleas for help

What I truly wish to pursue wholeheartedly is cultivation. Over these past days, I have diligently practiced my internal energy, and within my heart, there is an uncontrollable ambition.

Fang Xin entered his virtual space, which was still a stone house

Jin Zhaowen quickly smiled and said, "Oh, it's Teacher Fang. I didn't expect you to arrive so soon. Please come in, please come in."

Clearing his throat, he said, "Wu Maimai, hello, I am Fang Xin"

Who are you looking for

The street scene here is quite desolate, with quiet, sparsely populated streets lined with various shops and supermarkets. Although it is not excessively dirty, the atmosphere alone conveys that this is a slum area of the world

Wu Mamma gazed into his eyes, then stepped forward, extending her small hand, and the two of them shook hands earnestly.

The study of third-order history can essentially clarify all historical events once, and it allows for the study of first-order social economics and first-order social politics. In this way, it supplements the subjects of foundational research in Chinese culture

As the tea was served, Fang Xin noticed that the other person's nails were trimmed very short, somewhat thin and calloused, while his own hands were fair-skinned; even if they were not as delicate and smooth as a girl's, they were not far off.

Stepping out onto the balcony, I noticed that it was drizzling in reality as well as in the half-plane. A mist of water vapor enveloped the scene, with streams flowing down from the hills. Fragrant light emerged, and the flowering trees were dotted in the rain, while the gourd vines appeared lush and green as if glistening with droplets

The door is half open, allowing a view of the situation inside

Upon reaching this point, one can use points to create their ideal home. Fang Xin once dreamed of establishing a garden villa on Earth, and unexpectedly, this dream can be realized here

Currently, the points total 3,310. For many, these points can be converted into virtual enjoyment, serving as a means for those addicted to gaming, or even as in-game currency. However, for those who do not play games, these points merely serve to enhance their own semi-existence.

"Of course, of course." The couple quickly replied.

What is a negative number

"Second-level Mathematics, Third-level Mathematics, Second-level History, Basic Socioeconomics, Basic Political Science, Second-level Physics, Second-level Language, Second-level Classical Literature, Second-level English"

The couple hurriedly washed their hands and sat down on the sofa

Fang Xin contacted a new mentor, opened teaching permissions, and obtained foundational subjects, with volumes distributed throughout the virtual study space

Wu Mamma nodded, remaining silent, and pulled him into her room

Fang Xin quickly found the location; it was a building, but historically it appeared quite old. With twelve floors, each level had its own quilts and clothes hanging out to dry, resembling a kaleidoscope of colors.

Feeling somewhat awkward, he quickly took it himself and took a sip; the tea was a bit bitter. Taking advantage of her departure, Fang Xin surveyed the surroundings.

Currently, there are two courses: one is Fourth-Level Mathematics and the other is Third-Level English. Both are based on the foundational knowledge of Earth, and passing them is sufficient; there is no need to spend additional time.

This is a very cramped home. Although it is equipped with appliances and furniture, it is evident that everything is second-hand. There are two rooms: one for the couple and one for the child. The kitchen and bathroom are both small and dimly lit

Upon entering, one arrives at a square where numerous buildings stand tall, and many people come and go. Fang Xin had long been prepared and directly selected the "China Charity Federation"

Wu Zhenggang agreed, gazing at his wife: "Zhaowen, you have worked hard. This year, our department has mentioned that I have an opportunity for free further education. Upon completion, my salary will increase by thirty percent. I hope that Aida won't have to endure my hardships, and that we can pave the way for the future now."

Fang Xin began to fill out his information. Once the information was completed, a beam of light shot straight towards the Taiji, which gradually opened up, transforming into a door. The corridor extended upward, and Fang Xin smiled, finding it quite interesting as he ascended directly.
