"Beep!"
"Task issued: Complete the study of Master's notes. Reward: 10,000 cash, Immersive Experience Learning *1."
As Qiu Xi returned to school, preparing to study her master's notes, she received the system's mission announcement.
"Xiao Hua, what kind of learning is this Immersive Experience Learning reward?"
Qiu Xi, never shy about asking what she didn't understand, was quite curious.
"Based on the host's final learning outcome, the reward will simulate a virtual scenario to consolidate and improve. Anything learned within it will be permanently retained in memory, ensuring no effort is wasted."
"!!!"
"So after learning this, it's like a digital save file, essentially having your own hard drive in your mind, one that lasts forever?"
"In theory, yes."
"Xiao Hua, I didn't expect there to be rewards like this!"
Qiu Xi was experiencing something like this for the first time and was quite excited.
After all, who wouldn't love a reward that automatically saves everything as soon as they interact with it?
Although she had memorized a lot of knowledge through her eidetic memory, she had to be selective with this. The amount she could memorize in her mind each day was limited, and too much could cause unnecessary losses.
This kind of saving was different; it was about learning through experience, not mindlessly staring at paper materials.
It was like a learned habit, an inertia, where she wouldn't need to search for answers in her mind.
It was like 1+1; if asked, a person could even say the answer in their sleep.
"It's just that you, Xiao Xi, haven't seen enough, and haven't worked hard enough!"
"......"
I'm leaving!
Let's not hurt each other!
......
Time passed amidst studying.
Before the Century Cup training, the unified training for the Economic and Trade Fair began.
"Xiao Xi, you go find Old Yan first. I'm heading over there."
In the auditorium, Song Daiyao pointed towards Teacher Yang Yue's location.
Qiu Xi glanced over. "You go ahead, see you later."
"Mhm."
With that, Song Daiyao hurried over.
Qiu Xi paused for a moment, taking in the scene.
To minimize errors, the training venue was set at the actual location where the fair would be held.
Qiu Xi had been in this grand auditorium for three years, and this was only her second time here.
There weren't many students present; instead, there were many teachers, scattered in corners, chatting amongst themselves, occasionally reminding students beside them.
After her gaze swept around, Qiu Xi spotted the assembly area for her department. Old Yan was waving.
Seeing him, Qiu Xi immediately quickened her pace.
"Teacher Yan."
"You child, I saw you standing there for quite a while, what were you doing!"
Yan Bitao looked at the approaching student and, remembering the person he had seen earlier, decided to tease her a little.
"No, I just parted ways with a classmate and was looking for people from our department."
"Alright, come over quickly. After the Party Secretary finishes speaking, Secretary Pan will lead your training. The teachers are all nearby; you can point out any issues you have."
Qiu Xi nodded in agreement. "Mhm."
"Oh, and this, take it. If you don't need it later, you can look at it back at the dorm."
As he spoke, Qiu Xi saw Old Yan hand her a small booklet.
Holding it, it felt very light. Looking at the printed cover, Qiu Xi knew even without opening it that it likely contained terms and phrases compiled by the department for the conference.
"Alright, you can look at it later. Come over first."
Seeing that he had said all he needed to, Yan Bitao gently pushed her forward a few steps.
"Party Secretary, everyone is here."
Shortly after Qiu Xi took her position, she heard these words.
"Good, then we shall begin."
"I'll only say a few words; you should all listen carefully to the training afterward."
"I don't need to elaborate on the importance of this conference; everyone knows it. The Economic and Trade Fair... so then..."
After the Party Secretary's lengthy speech, he briefly introduced the Economic and Trade Fair, emphasized its importance, and stressed that no mistakes could be made.
Next came the main event for everyone's gathering: Secretary Pan's training.
Secretary Pan was primarily responsible within the department for relaying notices and handling various student-related matters, communicating directly with the school's academic affairs office.
This included issues like student accounts, GPA, and graduation procedures. Even if you approached your counselor, you would eventually end up with Secretary Pan.
"According to the department's arrangement, I will take the liberty of conducting this training for you all today."
This training was a bit unusual, with both students and teachers participating together.
The trainers were teachers who would be hosting or translating during the fair, all professionals.
The training here was mainly for explanation; other work-related aspects were up to the teachers themselves.
"Then I won't say too much more and will begin directly..."
Secretary Pan spoke at length, covering the arrangements for the conference day, the procedures, and specific work assignments.
Towards the end, he distributed some sample records and papers, instructing everyone to familiarize themselves with the work to ensure the smooth progress of the conference.
"Alright, that's all I have to say. Teachers, don't forget to find the students you'll be cooperating with. From now until the conference begins, you will be working hard."
With that, Secretary Pan tidied his belongings and, along with the Party Secretary, went to inspect the venue. He left behind the teachers and students.
Qiu Xi reviewed the notes she had taken, ensuring nothing was missed, and waited in place for a teacher to call her.
Secretary Pan had explained earlier that the Economic and Trade Fair involved four teachers from external departments and eight students in work-related roles. The remaining preparation work was the responsibility of the school and various departments' later stages. They only needed to do their part well.
These four teachers would each mentor two students as assistants. From now until the conference began, it would be a period of practice and preparation under the teachers' guidance.
As Qiu Xi wondered which teacher she would be assigned to, she heard her name.
"Qiu Xi, Ming Shuyu."
Following the voice, she saw a familiar face.
Familiar indeed. It was Teacher Yang Yue, who she had almost joined with Song Daiyao.
"Teacher Yang."
Hearing the voice, Qiu Xi shifted her position and walked over.
"Qiu Xi, I bet you didn't expect this, but in the end, you're working with me."
Qiu Xi chuckled, "As you say, Teacher, this is my good fortune."
"Hello Teacher Yang, I'm Ming Shuyu."
"Let's not talk now. You two get acquainted first, exchange contact information, and we'll find a classroom later to discuss further."
Qiu Xi nodded. "Okay."
Turning around, Qiu Xi also noticed the girl beside her.
Although the girl's appearance wasn't exquisitely beautiful, she possessed a good temperament, fitting her name, Shu Yu (gentle jade).
"Hello, I'm Qiu Xi. Let's work hard together."
Qiu Xi smiled slightly and greeted the person in front of her first.
"Senior, hello, I'm Ming Shuyu. Please guide me."
Ming Shuyu, though only a sophomore, already knew the senior in front of her, who had an overly delicate and beautiful appearance.
Qiu Xi was frequently mentioned by teachers and her photo was still displayed on the school forum.
Her deeds had been mentioned occasionally since her enrollment; she was truly an outstanding senior.
Meeting her in person and being able to work with her made Ming Shuyu inexplicably excited.
"Hahahahaha~"
"I didn't realize it..."
Yang Yue, standing nearby, noticed this as soon as Ming Shuyu's student spoke, but she didn't expect her to be such a fan.
Qiu Xi looked at Teacher Yang silently, "..."
After a moment, she turned to look at Ming Shuyu.
"Junior, you are also very outstanding. Following Teacher Yang, let's both work hard together~"
"Okay~"
"Come on, let's exchange contact info."
Saying this, Qiu Xi opened her phone and swiped to display her QR code.
"Okay!"
With that, the girl excitedly added her as a friend.
Watching the two get acquainted, Yang Yue checked the time and interrupted them.
"Alright, since you've met, the three of us, teacher and students, will strive together for the next period."
"I was going to chat with you outside later, but I just received news of an urgent matter. We might have to reschedule to the afternoon. Are you both available?"
Yang Yue couldn't help it; the matter was urgent, and the training had to be postponed.
Qiu Xi thought about her afternoon class schedule. "Teacher Yang, what time in the afternoon?"
As Qiu Xi asked, Yang Yue also considered that they might have classes in the afternoon.
"After dinner, at 6 PM, is that okay?"
Qiu Xi nodded. "Okay, I can make it."
As a junior, evening classes were not very frequent, only about 3 or 4 sessions per week.
"And you?"
Ming Shuyu quickly nodded. "Teacher, I'm also available."
"Good, then we'll meet at 402 in the external department's teaching building tonight. I'll be waiting for you there."
Both of them nodded in understanding. "Okay."
"Alright, you two can head back now. I have to go."
"Goodbye, Teacher."
With that, the two watched the teacher depart hastily, exchanged a few words, and then went their separate ways.
