A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 46: Increased Task Difficulty (Please Collect and Recommend)

Chapter 46: Chapter 46: Increased Task Difficulty (Please Collect and Recommend)

The hamster quickly scurried back into the scholar space and fell sound asleep.

It was obvious she was really exhausted.

The ability to create magical items wasn’t without its costs and limits.

Contrary to Baiyu’s expectations of being as prolific as an old sow.

"I’ll look up what hamsters like to eat later and buy some hamster toys.

I hear there’s a hamster happiness ball that can keep them running inside. I should get a larger one made for her."

Not exercising is harmful to her! freewēbnoveℓ.com

Maybe Cang Yan got her current shape because she’s been a homebody for countless years.

She’s sure to love it.

After all, it’s a hamster happiness ball!

A happiness ball, indeed!

The 500 points spent to awaken Cang Yan were not wasted, which greatly boosted Baiyu’s morale.

This indicates that everything in the space is useful.

Those mysterious devices he didn’t understand, needing points to unlock, must all have their purposes.

"Let’s take the banshee back."

Baiyu picked up the unconscious banshee, drove the flying car out of Iron Stone Martial Arts Dojo’s parking lot, and headed straight to the rented hotel.

Since the maintenance and elimination of strange events in the community are not yet complete, I can only stay in the hotel for now.

After a while.

Baiyu stopped the flying car.

He walked up amid the night shift lady receptionist’s puzzled glance at the hotel.

Since there was only one bed in the room, Baiyu took a quilt from the closet and made the banshee a floor bed, then woke her up.

"Take a shower later by yourself. There’s a takeout I ordered over there, eat it and throw the packaging downstairs.

And about the wings on your back, can you tuck them in?

Yes, just like that.

Tightly against the skin and inside your clothes.

This way, at least with clothes on, no one will notice anything strange.

And you’d better learn to do some makeup, make yourself look a bit unattractive, so it’s safer when you go out.

Avoid secluded places, don’t go to the North District.

You’re already an adult banshee, you have to learn to protect yourself."

Baiyu gave some basic life tips, then went to the bathroom to take a shower, no longer paying attention to her.

He entered the scholar space in his mind.

Now, it was already past midnight, after twelve.

As per usual, the taskbar refreshes three daily tasks.

But normally, Baiyu would complete them on the same day and then refresh them.

This time, Baiyu didn’t complete them, letting them refresh the next day.

Baiyu looked at the taskbar.

Sure enough.

The tasks had changed.

The nightmare difficulty was still like before, going to the fourth floor of the library to read "Spiritual Technique: Forbidden Scroll."

But the elite difficulty Baiyu accepted seemed to have increased in difficulty.

[Elite Difficulty (increased because it wasn’t completed on the first day)]

[Requirement: Skillfully use the knowledge gained from the exchange class to successfully defeat the teams from various schools and win first place in this exchange class.]

[Reward: One rare-level lottery chance, one immersive reading experience.]

"Isn’t this perfectly aligned with the plots between me and the old class advisor?"

Baiyu was not worried but rather delighted.

After all, he was going to win first place, and this task seemed to be accomplished along the way.

The rewards hadn’t changed.

The immersive reading experience was basic for him to complete the nightmare difficulty.

"Better make some preparations."

Baiyu took out the sturdy notebook he got from the last lottery and began scribbling on it, reviewing and revisiting some knowledge.

Of course, he didn’t notice.

As he continued to jot down knowledge in the notebook, the entire notebook was subtly changing.

It was becoming harder and harder!

...

Early the next morning.

Baiyu woke up feeling refreshed, with no trace of the previous day’s fatigue and stress left.

The banshee had already tidied up the floor bedding and was sitting upright and still.

The sunlight from outside fell into the room, casting a soft yellow on the ground.

The takeout on the table had vanished without a trace.

"The takeout is completely gone, seems like she was really hungry."

She sat there like an obedient kindergarten child, with a slight blush on her cheeks, staring straight ahead.

Baiyu felt a strong urge to comment.

Was she afraid of being scolded?

Or maybe she felt a little embarrassed for eating too much?

"I have class today, and I’ll be back in the afternoon or evening. I’ll order a few family buckets for you and then buy some snacks, will that be enough?"

Baiyu arranged.

Since he brought her back, he naturally should take responsibility.

The banshee nodded, indicating she would follow the arrangement.

"Alright then, that’s it."

Bang.

Baiyu closed the door.

As the footsteps gradually faded away, the Elf Banshee slowly exhaled, relaxing her tense body.

She stood up and surveyed the novel surroundings.

"The blanket is so soft, much more comfortable than the grass, ah, so soft, mm-mm-mm."

"The food is delicious too."

"And is this a computer? Why is it black?"

"This is the human world..."

"Last night, I saw a huge fat hamster, did I imagine it? I can’t quite remember."

Her eyes sparkled like little stars as she looked around, murmuring softly to herself, maintaining a curiosity about everything in the world.

North District and East District are two different worlds.

As an industrial zone,

North District is shrouded in steam haze all year round.

A large amount of steam machinery in factories produces over a million tons of water vapor every day.

And the heart of Linjiang City, the largest steam mechanical heating system, is also buried deep underground in North District.

The underground water of the "Jiujiang" river in Linjiang City is directly channeled into this steam monster, further exacerbating this phenomenon.

The water vapor is isolated by protective array Spirit Techniques in North District, unable to spread to other regions, and can only condense into drizzling rain.

This makes the entire North District lack sunlight all year round.

Filled with dampness, slipperiness, and gloom.

She had been captured for some time.

Upon arriving in Linjiang City, she had almost never seen the sun in the North District, but upon coming to East District, she could distinctly feel the difference between the two districts.

As if moving from a black-and-white painting to a vividly colored watercolor.

For the first time, sunlight was able to pour in through the window, dispelling the gloom in her heart.

Then.

Then she sat down again.

Originally, she wanted to lie on the bed to experience what a human bed was like, but fearing Baiyu might be displeased on return, she thought it better to sit.

Trying to maintain the state before leaving.

Yes.

Just like this.

Don’t cause any trouble for the master.

Go Erin!

The Banshee cheered silently in her heart.

...

The school was a lot busier than yesterday.

Because most of the external school students were staying in nearby hotels.

Baiyu rode Qin Shou’s flying car to the school gate, where Ning Qian was already standing with her backpack.

She stood straight, her upper body clad in a petite blazer, making it prominently rise, while her lower half was a black short skirt paired with knee-high black stockings, her small leather shoes polished to shine.

The curve of her thighs was quite alluring.

Her eyes searched through the crowd entering and exiting the school.

Until Baiyu came into view, she gradually broke into a smile and trotted over like a bunny.

"Big brother Bai, I brought you breakfast."

"Is it your dark cuisine again?"

"What dark cuisine, I made it under the chef’s guidance at home this morning, it’s very tasty. I used ingredients that supplement Blood Qi, try it if you don’t believe me."

Seeing her carefree smile, Baiyu couldn’t bear to reject.

He took a bite of the breakfast Ning Qian handed over, a biscuit-like item.

The taste gradually spread in his mouth.

One thousandth of a second later.

He regretted it.

Even if Liang Jingru gave him courage, Baiyu wouldn’t dare to eat it again.

"Isn’t it great?"

Ning Qian’s eyes turned into lovely slits, dimples appearing as she expectantly looked at Baiyu.

"Uh, it’s okay... How is your Spiritual Contamination Level? Did you test it after yesterday’s exam?"

To avoid continuing the breakfast discussion, Baiyu hurriedly changed the topic.

"I did.

After submitting the paper yesterday, I thought the Pollution Level might increase by one or two points.

But it decreased to twenty-four points."

Ning Qian was quite surprised as well.

Initially, she had been affected by that emotionally breaking down student, causing her own mood to waver.

Yet, shortly after, an inexplicable surge of determination and confidence arose in her heart.

What a strange thing indeed.

"It’s good that it decreased." Baiyu surmised that Purification had a certain Effect, and was not surprised:

"During the two months after this college entrance exam, it’s best if you undergo comprehensive mental treatment, too high a Pollution Level could affect your future studies and life."

"Mm."

Ning Qian nodded, her gaze slightly curious: "How do you handle Spiritual Contamination, big brother Bai?"

Baiyu hadn’t really thought about this issue.

Since crossing over, he hadn’t been troubled by Spiritual Contamination. Only facing the bizarre and the Extraordinary directly would provoke a response in him.

Also encountering those direct whispers.

As far as learning-induced Pollution Level, as long as it’s not obsessive learning or encountering excessively dangerous knowledge, it would naturally recover after some time.

"Uh, I’m also striving hard to overcome Spiritual Contamination, putting in more effort where others can’t see."

Not wanting to discourage her, Baiyu decided to tell a kind lie.

Upon finishing the sentence.

Seeing Ning Qian’s concerned yet admiring expression, he realized he might have misspoken again.
