Study System: I'm a 38-Year-Old Student-Chapter 236 - 164: Clashing with the Father-in-Law!

Chapter 236: Chapter 164: Clashing with the Father-in-Law!

Ding!

Listening to a top-level teacher’s lecture.

Scholar Index +50 points.

In the classroom.

As Zhao Ruihai started teaching, the system notification sounded in Shen Qiushan’s mind.

Top-level teacher!

Awesome!

Shen Qiushan looked at the old professor on the podium, utterly shocked.

This was the first top-level teacher he’d ever met—fifty Scholar Index points every minute, and this class on Electromagnetic Fields and Wireless Technology lasted 120 minutes per session. That’s a whopping 6000 Scholar Index points per class!

Of course, there was a fifteen-minute break between the halves of the class.

Otherwise, this kind of intensity would be a bladder-busting challenge for Professor Zhao Ruihai.

But then again, professors at Zhao Ruihai’s level rarely teach freshman classes. Why this old professor was even here, nobody knew.

Still, since such a great opportunity came his way, Shen Qiushan wasn’t going to miss out.

Out of habit, he popped a Memory Capsule and started listening attentively.

Ding!

New knowledge learned: Electromagnetic Field Theory

Reward: One Skill Card

Right before the class ended, the system notification chimed again in Shen Qiushan’s mind.

Uh!

This is intense!

Shen Qiushan’s eyes lit up. He thought he’d just rake in some Scholar Index points, but didn’t expect this extra surprise.

He remembered that last time he learned new knowledge, the reward was a Basic Blind Box, but this time it was straight up a Skill Card!

Obviously, not all "new knowledge" is created equal!

Last time, Shen Qiushan got a little skin care know-how from Luo Meimei. But now, he’d picked up actual electromagnetic theory.

Totally not in the same league.

[Exchange Skill Card] [Yes] [No]

After getting the Skill Card, a virtual selection page popped up in front of Shen Qiushan’s eyes.

Yes!

Shen Qiushan didn’t hesitate for a second.

Ding!

Skill Card redemption successful.

Congrats, host has acquired Advanced Skill: Singing Skill.

Advanced?

Shen Qiushan was a bit disappointed. He remembered last time he got "Chess Dao," it was at "Extraordinary Level"!

But now, "Singing Skill" was only Advanced.

The value of this can’t compare with Extraordinary-level Chess Dao.

But hey, no harm in having more skills!

Singing well can put food on the table!

If things ever get really rough, he could always busk on the street or start a livestream.

With "Singing Skill" now added to his repertoire, Shen Qiushan’s advanced skills rose from one to two.

Before this, he only had one advanced skill: Card-playing Ability.

He used that skill to win over his old flame, Chen Xiangyu.

Thinking of his ex made Shen Qiushan a little restless.

Not seeing each other for a day feels like three autumns!

He really needs to find time to go see her...

The big class ended.

Scholar Index points acquired.

Shen Qiushan eagerly entered the system’s lottery page again.

Recently, he’d gotten pretty hooked on the lottery. What can he say? It’s addictive.

Can’t help himself—he gets itchy fingers if he doesn’t draw a couple of times!

Ding!

Host spent 5000 Scholar Index points for 5 lottery draws!

As the system chimed, the virtual prize wheel spun rapidly before Shen Qiushan’s eyes.

Ding!

Congrats, host drew a song from Z Space-Time.

Automatically stored in system backpack. Host can view or download anytime!

(Note: Z Space-Time is a world highly similar to the current one. Literary and musical works from Z Space-Time can be used freely, no need to worry about plagiarism or copyright issues.)

Jackpot!

Shen Qiushan’s eyes lit up.

As a seasoned lottery player, he’d learned that when luck’s bad, you could draw dozens of times and only get consolation prizes.

But as long as he got something from Z Space-Time, that was hitting the jackpot.

Take "I Really Didn’t Want to Reincarnate" and "Three-Body Civilization"—both made him a fortune.

Especially "Three-Body Civilization"—it brought not just wealth, but also shot him straight to the ranks of celebrity authors.

Now the invitations to various talks and events were endless. If Shen Qiushan wasn’t focused on his studies, he’d be a "Flying Man" by now!

This time, what he drew wasn’t a literary work, but music.

Shen Qiushan curiously opened his system backpack.

Sure enough, there was a new CD icon after the previous two books.

Song: "Red Rose"

Clicking the CD icon brought up the lyrics and sheet music.

In fact, Shen Qiushan knew a bit about music. As a "Seasoned Huang Mao," how could he ever score a rich heiress without some usable skills?

Back in the day, he often sang with a guitar in his arms.

So, he could read the sheet music.

But as a non-professional, the first thing he looked at was the lyrics.

A dream in the dream that you can’t wake up from

Red wrapped and restricted by the red thread

All the stimulus left is weary pain

No longer moved at all

...

Shen Qiushan frowned harder and harder. He really couldn’t make sense of these lyrics.

Felt a bit like forced mystique.

He had no choice but to keep reading.

Until he saw the line, "What you can’t get is always stirring, the favored are always fearless."

Only then did Shen Qiushan sort of get what the song was all about.

The lyrics weren’t wrong.

The best thing is always the one you can’t get!

Only that way can it stay in your imagination forever.

Shen Qiushan read through the lyrics carefully two more times.

Hmm, kind of interesting.

"Old Shen!"

"Look!"

"More performance videos of Secretary Lin have been dug up."

Just as Shen Qiushan was pondering the song "Red Rose," Feng Sicong exclaimed nearby.
