Volume 2, chapter 39: A special learning technique
TL: flarewk
Still the same after school, I needed to head to Prez's house for the study session; although this session doesn't really helps me at all, I couldn't just tell them about it nor detracting from it either, what a headache.......
"Today it's a free-flow discussion for everyone, if there's anything you don't understand just ask it out."
That's a good idea, but even if the stupid me asks out a question, would I really understand the explanation other people provides?
"Xiao Ling, this sodium something chloride is what stuff exactly?"
"It's salt! Jian ge you're too dumb already, I suggest you drink a liter of concentrated sulfuric acid along with a few mouthful of diluted hydrochloric acid to freshen yourself up!"
These stuffs sounds to be rather dangerous already......as expected of Xiao Ling, she should be often using these stuffs..
"Ma Qing Xue.....how do you solve this problem...."
"First remove this denominator, then carry it over, afterwards combine the similar factors, and lastly use factorization methods in order to solve this problem."
I felt that Ma Qing Xue and I was living in two separate different worlds......
"Amelia! Please use the simplest explanation to tell me........how do you say this sentence in English!"
"He used to drink alcohol."
(TL: Think of the above in chinese language perspective instead, try this? 他以前喝过酒精)
"Can't you tell me what object or subject to use instead, don't say it out directly!"
(TL: now for the chinese language perspective I've set; can you point out the object and the subject of that sentence?)
English and whatnot it's expectedly my most hated subject already....
"The god of learning have already given up on me.......an idiot like me should just find a corner and squat there......"
After I lonelily squatted behind the sofa for quite a while, Wang Yi turned his head over towards me.
"Librarian Keeper, I might have a way that could help you swiftly learn these subjects?"
"Really? What way!"
"I have no problems with telling you that, but you must wear a female outfit once again!"
"Tell me first, if it works then I'll agree to it!"
For the sake of passing the exams, I don't mind wearing female outfits for once.
"Zhang Jian....wear a female outfit? Again?"
Xiao Ling and Amelia confusedly looked towards me at the same time.
"Heh heh, you guys didn't see that, right...let me tell you about it, Zhang Jian's crossdressing, is excellent!"
As Wang Yi kept talking and talking, he searched out an album from his phone, and within it was my photograph, a photo of the crossdressing me wearing sports outfit tank top with mini pants and overly long stockings.....
"So the legendary Su Hua's Fourth Beauty is Zhang Jian, huh......also.........crossdressing and whatnot.......haah.......haaah....."
Amelia's gaze towards me became more wilder and wilder by the second......I'm doomed already.
"Jian ge? Oh sure, so you dared to lie to me last time, those uncles will love you even more then."
Don't tell me I'm really going to become the XXX from the hands of Xiao Ling's thugs already?
"Wang Yi, if the solution of yours doesn't work at all.....then I'll make sure that I die along with you!"
"Relax, I also used this solution to help me study too, it's extremely effective, only that...I would like all of the ladies here to please move away for a while.
"Wang Yi, this isn't right of you already, you would teach Zhang Jian, but won't teach us as well?"
Prez seemed to be a little discontented as she gave a little complaint.
"It's not like that, but this way only can be used by males, plus, it's not really convenient for females to be present around when using it too......"
"Prez! Please, all of you please move away for a while; I really, really need a way to help me pass the exams!"
I also opened my mouth to plead with the Prez.
"All right, we'll first go to that side and sit down....."
Because of Prez's compromise, the girls all moved away, making it ideal to test that method right now.
"Zhang Jian, here, this is what I've already prepared, come and try this first."
Wang Yi chuckled as he took out a book from his bag; it's that kind of book that I would be delighted to add into my collection, but why must he take out this sort of book during studying......
"How do you solve this problem?"
He flipped to the first page, and on the page was the picture that I was been expecting, but the most important part of the picture was being covered by a piece of paper, and on the paper wrote a mathematical problem.......damm it......I really want to see!
"Ma Qing Xue, how do you solve two linear equations!"
"Oh, under that kind of situations you must first........"
"y = 7, a = 6!"
"Correct!"
Wang Yi removed the paper that was blocking the picture; the image's not bad indeed.......
"And this....."
"Hurry up and remove it, y1 = 2, y2 = 8, y3 = 9 !"
"You actually knew how to solve three linear equations?"
Wang Yi looked at me with shock in his face.......
"What's so strange about learning through examples, hurry up!"
Once again I saw the picture that I wanted to see.
"This chemical equation will have what kind of reaction?"
"Xiao Ling, tell me what you think is the most important point to know, hurry!"
"Alright.....first you need to know what some of the characters mean........"
"Combined igniting, heat production, if just done it in this way an explosion will occur!"
"And this........"
"Yellow flames will be obtained, a massive amount of heat will be produced, and white smoke will be formed!"
"Do you have a calling card?"
Wang Yi suddenly read out an english sentence, looks like it should be a reading type of question already.
"Librarian Keeper, try to read this sentence out."
Wang Yi pointed to another piece of paper.
"Amelia, hurry up and explain to me a rough grammar and pronunciation methods!"
"Mm....you need to take note of the forty-eight phonetic symbols..........."
"Yes, right here."
"Correct........"
"How do you pronounce this single word?"
"Boobies!"
"Very good, repeat after me, BOO~~BIES!"
"BOO~BIES!"
"Zhang Jian.......you this bastard could probably be a genius......."
"No more already?"
"Yeah......no more.....it's only those....."
Damm it, it's gone so quickly already, I still want to look some more......
"The effects are extremely pronounced, so now Zhang Jian you're going to put on a female outfit for me to see already, right?"
"What effects exactly.......right now I still don't understand this mathematics book at all......"
I checked the effects of this, with the result of it being completely ineffective.
"Then about just now....?"
"How do I know, just now I just unknowingly understood the questions, but now when I take a look at it, it's like reading scriptures to me."
"It's my loss."
Wang Yi gave off a helpless sigh, his expression melancholic.
"Ay.....this idea is useful for a short while, but it doesn't have any long lasting effects......unless I can bring my collection into the exam hall."
"Zhang Jian, did you completely forgot everything, or do you still remember a few of it, try solving this one linear equation problem......"
(TL: They do exist, example is..... b + 3 = 9)
Wang Yi pointed towards the simplest question in the maths book, and after spending a few minutes I finally solved it.
"It's probably........ b = 6, I guess......."
"You still can remember a portion of it huh....well that means that the stimulation is not strong enough already......."
Wang Yi lowered his head as he thought it through seriously, this suddenly made me a little touched, so Wang Yi is such a kind person, he had always thought of me like a friend!"
"Ladies, would you like to help Zhang Jian? I'll tell you a certain method!"
He walked towards the girl's side, and secretly gu chi gu chi muttered a few words to them.
"Librarian Keeper, I can only help you up to this point already, don't forget about your crossdressing!"
So after all of the whole fiasco, the aim is still for me to crossdress, huh!?
"Zhang Jian, me and Jiang Tian also compiled the main points of what we knew about and told them already, if you wish to thank us, don't forget your crossdressing!"
Liu Xiong's front half of the sentence made me rather touched, but the back half of the sentence made me feel like rampaging around crazily.
"I treat each of you guys as a friend, yet you guys, always kept wanting me to crossdress!"
I had no more hopes for thinking that I could have a solidly good friendship between the guys already.
"Well then, we'll head back first, Librarian Keeper, I wish you success in your studies!"
I had a distinct feeling that what's going to happen next wouldn't be a good thing.......and my predictions were usually accurate.
"Well...... first up is maths!"
Ma Qing Xue stood in front of me, and her whitish pale skin had some red blush on it, her eyes drifting to a side, what was she planning to do like this.......
"Sol......solve this problem....then I'll pull up my skirt a little........."
"Oi, Ma Qing Xue, don't joke around with me, and don't treat yourself like this, you don't need to care so much about me............. K = √3 "
I subconsciously said out the answer; I can't control my mouth at all.....
"And....this..."
"Ma Qing Xue, don't, stop, I'm not someone like that.......the radius of this circle is 52 cm."
"This, this, and how about this?"
"Stop it!! An isosceles trapezoid, 96 cubic meters, Peter required 4 days to finish drinking these water!"
"Impressive! Zhang Jian, your calculation speed had already surpassed Archimedes!"
Standing nearby us, the Prez exclaimed out in surprise.....
"Jian ge, what's the process for obtaining oxygen from heating potassium permanganate?"
Here comes Xiao Ling, right now what I'm doing is a crime already, I must stop them!
"I don't know....furthermore Xiao Ling, with your body size you couldn't even make me.......let K2MnO4's coefficient be a, and when 2a's of K is added up and reacted, KMnO4's coefficient would be 2a**."
"Jian ge, next time you'll be a master of explosives!"
I'm about to explode right now.....
"Ya~ho~Zhang Jian~Are you okay?"
"no! no! no!"
"really?"
Amelia used her killing technique against me, joint locking.......and furthermore this time she was squished closer towards me than any other time, and as a result, my joints suffered tremendous pain as well.
"I'm fine!"
Can I really survive to the end of this month when I keep experiencing this sort of stuff recently?
TL: chinese equivalent of the bolded portions above is as followed:
"你还好吗?" (Amelia)
"不!不!不!" (Zj)
"真的吗?" (Amelia)
-joint locking-
"我还好!" (Zj)
"Right now let's check the results of the learning~"
They randomly selected many different questions from various subjects, other than a few questions that I'm unable to answer with, the rest basically I had it right; this method really made me improve my learning astoundingly, only that it's a little......painful, but happy sort of feeling.
"And so, Zhang Jian, our helping of you like this wasn't free-of-charge; Wang Yi told us that if you was to pass the exams, you will owe each of us a condition, understood?"
Right now I really wish to place Wang Yi in a female outfit and throw him towards those thugs belonging to Xiao Ling.
"Un.....understood."
The next few days afterwards, my knowledge base had already expanded enormously, and in a blink of an eye, Ma Qing Xue and the rest already had nothing else to teach me, so it ended up becoming me who taught them in the remaining days.
As the date of the exam approaches, the school's atmosphere became even more tense, but Ma Qing Xue still tried think up of many ways to approach me whenever lesson ends.
"Tomorrow will be the exams already, I wish that Zhang Jian would score a good grade."
"You too, I'm really thankful for you during these few days........."
"No need for thanks, didn't Zhang Jian teach us as well? Umm....after the exams, can I let you fulfill the condition you owed me before?"
"If it's only within my abilities....."
Me and Ma Qing Xue's friendship gradually became closer and closer, to be honest it had already went past the friendship border a long time ago.....and I don't plan to hide from it any more......after the exams, I'll give her an answer.
"Oh right, Prez asked us to head to the Student Council room, it seemed that she had something to tell us."
"Mm, I got it, you first go on then, I'll come shortly after."
I packed up my bag, and along the way towards the Student Council building, I've met up with Wang Yi and the rest.
"Prez called you guys as well?"
"Yeah, but we have no idea what she wanted to say, and also....Zhang Jian, don't forget your crossdressing."
"If you say that again, be careful of your flower."
"If you were to put on a female outfit, I wouldn't mind too much about that either."
"Wang Yi, I treated you like a friend, be honest with me, what did you exactly treat me as?"
"A friend too! A friend that have deep bondings, a friend that is absolutely worth to be friended with!"
"All right, but please don't forget about the recording that the Vice Prez had, my dearest friend."
Wang Yi was threatened by my sentence till he had nothing else to say, and as expected I wouldn't understand this kind of people at all, and can only rely on despicable methods to restrain him from rubbishly opening his mouth.
"Everyone, are all of you here already? Right now I'm going to inform everyone about one thing; the exam hall's seating arrangements had already been decided, the Student Council members and the Five Human Trashes will be seated coincidentally in the same exam hall."

TL: Originally I was a little depressed when TLing this chapter, but now I have one thing to say. BOO~BIES!
Oh right, you can probably tell from above, but Amelia's questions are all based on english, so it wouldn't make sense to you (but it does to the chinese coz they find english hard, i think)....
So I subbed in the chinese equivalent (same meanings as well!) to make it seemingly more logical to you guys when reading!
P/N: About the chemical equation above (KMnO4), it's quite plausible that it's wrong, and here's Kartikeye's contribution to correct it:
Kartikeye ChandramouliFriday, March 10, 2017 4:27:00 PM
You want me to explain the chemistry there ? Its not that hard just simple balancing the equation but it would take too long to start from the basics , just think conservation of mass and that both sides should have equal number of atoms .
So the mistake you / the author did was ,
"Jian ge, what's the process for obtaining oxygen from heating potassium permanganate (KMnO4) ?"
"I don't know....furthermore Xiao Ling, with your body size you couldn't even make me.......let K2MnO4's(not potassium permanganate) coefficient be a, and when 2a's of K is added up and reacted, KMnO4's coefficient would be 2a ( So , 2*2 i.e. 4K combine to form 2K ? where did the other 2K go ?)."
basically just replace Zj's dialogue with -
"I don't know....furthermore Xiao Ling, with your body size you couldn't even make me.......let KMnO4's coefficient be 2, and when H2O2 added up , oxygen gas would be released with K2MnO4, MnO2 and H2O."
btw the oxygen here doesn't come from the KMnO4 , it comes from H2O2 , this seems like a pointless reaction indeed as H2O2 would release O2 and decompose over time anyways.
i found this article(?)
https://science.wonderhowto.com/how-to/make-oxygen-from-permanganate-and-hydrogen-peroxide-283269/
I was wondering how you could just heat a solid and get it to decompose so easily , there was a solution of H2O2 needed which wasn't mentioned.
So the mistake you / the author did was ,
"Jian ge, what's the process for obtaining oxygen from heating potassium permanganate (KMnO4) ?"
"I don't know....furthermore Xiao Ling, with your body size you couldn't even make me.......let K2MnO4's(not potassium permanganate) coefficient be a, and when 2a's of K is added up and reacted, KMnO4's coefficient would be 2a ( So , 2*2 i.e. 4K combine to form 2K ? where did the other 2K go ?)."

I thought the author had just made a minor error, I didn't expect him to make such a huge mistake.
But the translations would stay faithful to his mistake (as transl from the original text), and the above contribution is the correct version for those who want to know about it. Cheers~
Footnotes:
小明 (Peter) = It's a common chinese name, so I've renamed it to 'Peter' when Ma Qing Xue questioned Zhang Jian using the special way of learning.
Archimedes = Archimedes of Syracuse was a Greek mathematician, physicist, engineer, inventor, and astronomer. (from wikipedia)
Xiao Ling's chemistry question = That one, I am completely bamboozled by the equation from translating. If there's any possible mistakes from it please let me know....
Glossary:
Librarian Keeper = a title that Zhang Jian earnt. Why, it's because he had a library of p*rn!
Fourth Beauty = The original three renowned top beauties of Su Hua Middle Private School are Prez, Ma Qing Xue and Amelia. By the way, Amelia had a fetish for cute crossdressing guys....
flower = it meant an*s, if you forgot this often-used pun in this web novel series~ why is that so? Try googling a pict of a chrysanthemum flower and tell me what it looks like!
Five Human Trashes = five people in the school awarded with that title for being despicable apparently. They are: Zhang Jian, Amelia, Wang Yi, Jiang Tian and Liu Xiong.
Um . . . What is this godly study technique? I want it.
ReplyDeleteZhang went from stupid to smart in a short amount of time? WHAT IS THIS SORCERY!!??!
ReplyDeleteI don't get it
For those asking what is happining. It's similar to the masterbating relay technique, which increased the adrenaline to go faster. Except this time his arousel increases his brain power.
ReplyDeleteDon't try these techniques in school kids.
(〃 ิ∀ ิ〃)
ReplyDelete他以前喝过酒精 , from my understanding of japanese grammar learned through anime i'll say the first word is the subject and probably near the end of the sentence is the object , maybe the last or second last word .
ReplyDeleteBtw , i don't suppose you could drink a kilogram of H2SO4 , change that to one liter or something , and drinking HCl would hardly harm you as your stomach already has that , i was almost certain she would say " drink chloroform " or something which would knock him out and allow her to do whatever she wants .
K2MnO4's coefficient be a, and when 2a's of K is added up and reacted, KMnO4's coefficient would be 4a.
This should be correct , though i don't know the actual reaction , at least this sentence is now logically correct , there is no frontal coefficient , just coefficient .
good point, thanks for the litre and chemistry-thingy add on!
Deletei failed chem =/
You missed the other part that the coefficient would be 2a then become a( which i previously said 4a )
Delete, here's what i think the reaction would be -
2a KMnO4 => Δ => a K2MnO4 + a MnO2 + a O2 ( the oxygen required )
( replace a with any natural number )
( Δ is a symbol for heating , tough it somehow looks like an emoticon now )
Yes , the equation is reversed now , but thats the only way you can get oxygen in my opinion .
Btw was my guess about chinese language correct ? :3
Sorry, I'm a little lost with all the chem, can you help moi key out the entire phrasing so I could just paste in the post? Thanks hahahaa😅
DeleteAnd yeah, your right about the subjecty objecty thing, here's the breakdown:
他 - He (subj)
以前 - last time
喝过 - drank before
酒精 - liquor (obj)
You want me to explain the chemistry there ? Its not that hard just simple balancing the equation but it would take too long to start from the basics , just think conservation of mass and that both sides should have equal number of atoms .
DeleteSo the mistake you / the author did was ,

your point makes sense, but I didn't expect the author to be completely off the mark though....
DeleteDarn it! I just read the raws of Vol 2.
ReplyDeleteGuess what? my heart is bleeding right now. Damn you Zhang jian. :(
Gentlemen! Prepare your hearts on what to come.
Just endure And you will get enlightened.
他以前喝过酒精 With my limited Chinese due to being one I believe this sentence is "wo yi quan he guo jiu jing" 2 lazy to do accents and for a few don't know them xD. Am I close?😫
ReplyDeleteyour han yu pin yin is absolutely right!
DeleteAmelia is also one of the three beauties? Whoa that's mean Amelia's the Five Human Trashes, Three Beauties, and 12 Veterans of Legend. And Zhang Jian will be Five Human Trashes, Four Beauties, and 12 Veterans of Legend :v
ReplyDeletelol :3
