"The streamer is amazing, succeeding on the second try!"
"Student: I feel like I can do it again! Don't worry, big shot! — Bang!"
"Hahaha, same here. My brain gets it, my eyes get it, but my hands just don't cooperate."
Watching the scenes unfold in the classroom, the viewers in front of the screen couldn't help but laugh.
They had indeed failed at the first step of paper folding, but the ghosts in the underworld weren't faring much better.
Well, it didn't matter if they didn't get it; they were happy as long as the streamer did.
At this moment, looking at the various paper folding props in front of him, he felt like doing some crafting.
Since he had bought them, he couldn't let them go to waste.
Seeing the streamer cut out a small paper figure in the live stream, many viewers also picked up their scissors and cut out their own little paper figures.
Some skilled ones even cut out a chain of paper figures holding hands, or a pile of them stacked up...
It was very engaging.
"This is my first time doing crafts, and now I finally understand why those ghosts were trembling."
"Hahaha, I cut off the head of this one."
...
Jiang Lin cut out a total of six palm-sized paper figures.
Because the second step of the first lesson was 'instructions,' they had heads, hands, and feet, which made things more convenient.
It was also easier to execute.
Looking at the paper figures in front of him, Jiang Lin recalled the actions and explanations of Teacher Huo's demonstration.
Injecting ghost qi was to make the paper figures move,
while instructions allowed the paper figures to act according to the owner's will.
Even if the owner was not present, they would continue to execute the commands.
"So, it's about making the paper figures remember the owner's thoughts?"
Jiang Lin pondered.
But how would the paper figures remember?
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Lin suddenly remembered something Teacher Huo had specifically emphasized during the lecture.
That was, one must never use yin qi as a substitute.
Because ghost qi had been refined, it was purer and easier to imprint one's will onto it.
One's own will...
Through ghost qi, it would remain within the paper figures and drive their actions?
With this thought, Jiang Lin's mind became clear.
When controlling the paper figures with ghost qi, it was essentially a form of instruction.
And it was a more complex form of instruction.
However, because it was direct control, it was not easily detected.
Therefore, the most crucial part of this step was how to make the thoughts carried by the ghost qi remain in the paper figures for a long time.
Six wisps of ghost qi emerged from Jiang Lin's fingertips, then began to rotate, connecting end to end, forming six small circles.
The rotation speed of the small circles gradually increased, faster and faster.
When they became a blur, there was a sudden flash of light, forming six identical, peculiar characters.
Jiang Lin lightly tapped with his fingertips, and the six characters flew into the six paper figures respectively.
Finally, they disappeared.
Just like Huo Shu's demonstration, the ghost qi was gone, but the paper figures began to move on their own.
They started doing squats in place.
The six paper figures stood in a line, then squatted and stood up in unison.
Squat, stand up...
...
Success on the first try?
Huo Shu, who had been watching, narrowed his eyes, his brow furrowing involuntarily.
This speed was beyond his expectations.
He had initially thought that even with good talent, it would take at least until the second or third lesson to succeed after practicing back home.
What kind of ghost was Jiang Lin? How many skills did he hide?
Seeing that the class time was almost up, Huo Shu turned and left.
As soon as Huo Shu left, the students in the classroom became restless.
Their minds were no longer on the paper figures.
They glanced around, wondering if they had been on camera, if their hairstyles were in order.
They secretly glanced at Jiang Lin, then looked again.
Huh?
The six paper figures in front of Jiang Lin... had he already mastered the content of the first lesson?
No, no, he should have mastered the first step of injecting ghost qi, right?
After all, they had only just learned it today...
...
Soon, the dismissal bell rang.
The gazes in the classroom became even more obvious.
Ghosts and various paper figures also began to gather in the hallway.
Looking at the lifelike paper figures, it seemed even the advanced class had arrived.
Even some ghosts, too embarrassed to come themselves, sent paper figures holding musical instruments into the junior class's classroom.
Asking if everyone wanted to listen to some music.
Although they asked, they stood in front of Jiang Lin's desk when they asked.
Jiang Lin: "..."
These classmates from the Northern Hall were too enthusiastic.
However, his primary task now was to quickly learn and master today's lesson.
After asking a ghost classmate next to him, who said they could go home, Jiang Lin realized that today's lesson was almost over when he arrived.
Since that was the case, Jiang Lin didn't linger.
He packed his things, said goodbye to the classmate next to him, and returned to the apartment arranged for him in the Eastern Hall.
Back in the apartment, Jiang Lin found a table, took out the six paper figures, and continued his experiment.
When the six paper figures were released, they were still doing squats.
One, two...
Six wisps of ghost qi reappeared from Jiang Lin's fingertips, then began to rotate, connecting end to end.
He tried to add a new instruction to the paper figures.
After a while, six peculiar characters formed and drilled into the paper figures.
*Pop!*
*Pop!*
Two paper figures exploded.
The remaining four stayed, and began doing push-ups.
One, two, three...
Ten, eleven...
Jiang Lin looked at the four remaining paper figures. Although they had successfully executed the new instruction, the squatting instruction seemed to have disappeared.
"They can't coexist?"
Jiang Lin was puzzled.
It was not easy for two instructions to exist simultaneously.
But it was not entirely impossible.
The development of paper folding techniques in the Northern Hall to its current state indicated that it was feasible.
He just hadn't found the right method.
Afterward, Jiang Lin tried several other methods.
For example, inputting two instructions simultaneously from the beginning,
or trying to merge the two instructions into one...
*Pop!*
*Pop!*
Many paper figures appeared on the table.
Some were scrapped, while others survived, executing new instructions.
...
In the live stream room.
The viewers watched the streamer's earnest and focused back, remembering their unfinished work/homework.
Even those who had finished their work couldn't help but recall the work they had already completed.
—Perhaps, with a little more effort, they could do even better?
"Every time I see the streamer working hard, I feel a bit ashamed."
Even ghosts were more diligent than him.
Moreover, the streamer was already so powerful, yet still possessed a desire to learn and improve.
If it were him, he would have probably already given up and become lazy.
"I suddenly want to find something to do..."
"I'll finish my homework first before playing...!! Damn, I just took out my homework when my mom came in, that was close!"
"It was the same during the Southern Hall period. Once the streamer starts learning, they are determined to learn it well and master it!"
...
After scrapping several sheets of A4 paper, Jiang Lin finally managed to make multiple instructions coexist within the paper figures and execute them sequentially.
Watching three paper figures march in unison, turn right, and stand at attention with perfect coordination.
Jiang Lin let out a breath.
Exploring these paper figures was quite interesting.
It was just a bit difficult at the beginning...
Once he found the connection method, it became much easier.
Looking up at the live stream comments, he finally remembered that he hadn't turned off the stream.
Jiang Lin's gaze fell on the apartment arranged by the Eastern Hall, and after thinking for a moment, he said:
"Let's show everyone the rooms in the Northern Hall."
