Brush Up Your Proficiency

At noon, instead of cooking the dishes Wang Hao had taught her, his mother simply looked at the ingredients available at home and made a casual lunch, as thrift and frugality were her habits.

When Wang Lan saw Wang Hao, she kept looking at him with resentful eyes.

One reason was that she couldn't get in touch with Wang Hao, which made her a little anxious.

But more importantly, because Wang Hao had spoiled her palate, not being able to eat Wang Hao's cooking made her feel like her mouth was greatly wronged.

However, facing his sister's pouting face, Wang Hao could only helplessly indulge her and took the initiative to cook another dish. Finally, the disturbance caused by Wang Hao's late return subsided.

"You, you're just spoiling her like this! When she gets married in the future, if she's still so picky about food, she'll have a hard time!" Liu Zhi said with a smile, blaming the two children.

As someone who had experienced hard times, Liu Zhi was not particular about food. If her son's cooking skills weren't so good, making her want to change, she would have been satisfied with just filling her stomach.

Hearing her mother's words, Wang Lan immediately widened her eyes, expressing her dissatisfaction: "Mom, what are you talking about?"

However, her self-proclaimed majestic gaze was easily ignored by Liu Zhi.

Liu Zhi stopped criticizing them and began to talk about some family琐事.

"Have you heard? For tomorrow's college entrance banquet, the old Zhu's kid even invited their homeroom teacher."

Liu Zhi shared the news she had gathered, with a hint of envy in her words. After all, many people hold college entrance banquets, but being able to invite school leaders undoubtedly shows that the old Zhu's child is very outstanding.

"Yes, that kid has been smart since he was little. Old Zhu said he often ranks among the top few in the grade!" Wang Lin also chimed in.

In this village, the concept of knowledge changing命运 has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Many years ago, the slogan had been painted on the walls of the village. Now, this sentence has been deeply imprinted in everyone's mind, becoming a consensus.

For rural children, changing their命运 through the college entrance examination has almost become the only way out.

The result is that children with excellent academic performance, whether in the city or the countryside, are very popular.

Wang Hao sat silently aside, listening to his parents' conversation.

Recalling that he only cared about playing when he was young and did not study hard or strive for honors, he felt a little regretful, and a sense of remorse welled up in his heart.

However, Wang Hao thought again, why be so harsh on himself when he was young? At that time, he was just a child who didn't understand anything. Grasping the present is the right solution.

In the afternoon, Wang Hao first went to his grandfather's house, and then went to the bookstore in town.

He had obtained the reading skill in the morning, and now he was going to try how to use this skill and improve its proficiency.

Originally, after lunch, Wang Hao picked up Wang Lan's university textbook and read it for a while, but he was quickly confused by the complex content in the book.

Because he had graduated for many years, he had long forgotten some basic knowledge, even to the point of forgetting how to write some characters.

Moreover, after he pretended to read for a while, the cheat didn't give any prompts, which meant that this period of ineffective reading couldn't increase proficiency.

Later, Wang Hao tried to find a book on his phone that he could understand for testing.

The result was that although he understood the book on his phone, it didn't give Wang Hao a different feeling from the past.

The final result was still that no prompts appeared, indicating that the reading skill was not activated.

Several failed attempts made him a little discouraged.

Therefore, Wang Hao decided to go to the bookstore to find a way to improve his proficiency.

When he stepped into the bookstore, facing rows of books, his heart was filled with confusion. Books are the ladder of human progress, but he didn't know which books belonged to the first step.

He looked around, his eyes wandering over all the books, completely losing the composure he had in the kitchen.

It was summer vacation, and the bookstore was crowded with people, many parents bringing their children to read.

Despite the large number of people, the store was surprisingly quiet, as if even the noisiest butcher would become quiet and祥和 when he stepped into here.

Wang Hao slowly walked to a corner and randomly picked up a book - "The Little Prince". He was no stranger to this type of short story, and it was once one of his favorites.

After finding a secluded corner, Wang Hao opened the book and immersed himself in it.

Perhaps it was the effect of the skill, or perhaps the storyline was too attractive, he unconsciously immersed himself in the world of the book, and time passed quietly.

After an unknown amount of time, Wang Hao finally turned the last page and closed the book with lingering interest.

"Congratulations, you have successfully read for 1 hour, primary reading proficiency +1, current proficiency: primary reading 1/100"

The cheat prompt that Wang Hao had been waiting for finally appeared, but the result shocked Wang Hao a little.

It turned out that you had to read a book for an hour and be absorbed in it to gain one point of proficiency.

This made him, who had experienced the rapid leveling of cooking and erhu skills, feel a little unacceptable, as if the reading skill was not on the same dimension as the previous two skills.

Wang Hao couldn't help but complain, why should the skills given by the same cheat be treated differently!

"What kind of skill is this reading skill? The difficulty is so great!" Wang Hao muttered in his heart.

The appearance of this prompt seemed to be the reading skill arrogantly showing him its aloofness and uniqueness.

"Aloof is aloof, as long as I know the method, I'll level you up sooner or later." Wang Hao secretly made up his mind.

Although this skill seemed difficult to improve, he believed that as long as he kept刷下去, the reading skill should bring him a big surprise, after all, the greater the difficulty, the greater the ability.

After moving his body, which had become a little stiff from maintaining the same posture for a long time, Wang Hao suddenly realized a problem: he actually had a comfortable feeling when he was reading just now.

He had never had this feeling when reading before. Does this indicate that one of the functions of the primary reading skill is this? Wang Hao was a little suspicious.

Thinking divergently, Wang Hao thought that if he had this primary reading skill when he was in school, making him feel that reading was a comfortable thing, then he would have been a top student, and maybe he would have been the one who brought glory to his ancestors.
