Clapping followed.
The noise annoyed the audience who were listening quietly, so they turned to stare at the newly arrived visitor.
Oh no, it’s the principal!
The students and staff instantly stopped staring. To not embarrass the principal, they started clapping too.
“Great, this is great!” The principal looked excited. He looked around for a seat, but there were no vacancies.
The cafeteria lady stood up and said, “I need to go. Principal, please sit here.”
The principal nodded with satisfaction. He decided to give her more responsibility in the cafeteria.
Xia Yu hesitated. He decided to pretend he didn’t see the principal. After a short break, he picked up the violin.
Xia Yu’s violin skills were as amazing as his piano skills, but the principal wasn’t as excited. The man didn’t smile again until Xia Yu started playing the piano again.
The cultural festival ended by 2:40 p.m. The principal stood up and told Xia Yu, “Next Monday, come see me in my office.”
“???”
What do you want?
Xia Yu grew nervous as he watched the principal leave.
“Xia Yu, don’t you have work after this? Hurry and go,” the class leader said.
He didn’t need to worry about the clean-up work. The rest of the class would take care of it.
After working until 5:30 p.m. at the coffee shop, Xia Yu went home.
He opened the skills panel. His Cleverness had increased to Lv 2.
So using the piano and violin did increase his Cleverness level.
But since he wasn’t only training his Cleverness, it wasn’t as efficient.
With a Lv 2 Cleverness, Xia Yu would be even better at playing the piano and violin now.
However, this wasn’t the point. The point was, he could go to Xu Youxiang in the early morning, and finally, start to learn programming.
The Xia family’s internet empire started now!
At midnight, he eagerly pressed the play game button.
Xu Youxiang, launch!
He thought Xu Youxiang would be asleep now. But he saw a notebook computer in front of him.
On the screen was an internet forum where Xu Youxiang was replying.
Xia Yu looked at the posts and closed his eyes again.
There were hundreds of posts, all filled with shouting.
“What happened?” Xia Yu scrolled up, wanting to find the start of the fight. But he couldn’t find the beginning, as the first posts were already deleted by the forum moderator.
“What else could it be? A cripple cussing people online!” Xu Youxiang didn’t explain.
Based on the bits and pieces of leftover posts, Xia Yu could tell the other person started the fight. It was about whether a bag of chips should be ripped open or torn open with teeth.
What kind of crazy fight was this?
“Why bother arguing with him? Just use your hacking technology and delete his account,” Xia Yu said.
“…” Surprised by Xia Yu’s harsh words, Xu Youxiang didn’t know how to answer.
Xia Yu shook his head.
Even though she was moody and liked to curse people, she was innocent, just like the way she looked.
“Alright. You got the 100 thousand yuan I sent you, right? You have to keep your word.” Xia Yu planned to study programming.
Xu Youxiang was quiet for a bit before telling him, “It’s in the closet.”
The closet? You put your programming materials in the closet? No wonder I couldn’t find it.
Going over to the bed, Xia Yu propped the crutches under his arms and moved to the closet. Leaning on the wall, he freed one arm to open the closet.
He saw many kinds of dresses.
These were real dresses, full of laces and ribbons, showing intricate workmanship.
She was into girly clothes? These clothes must cost at least 10 thousand yuan.
However, where were the programming books?
Xia Yu checked the closet inside and out, still not finding any books.
“Where are the books?” Xia Yu asked Xu Youxiang.
“What?” She asked, “What books?”
“Programming books,” Xia Yu answered.
“… let me ask you, what do you need my body for?”
“To learn programming. Did you think I wanted to take advantage of you? Wasn’t I trying to learn the first time I came over?” Xia Yu looked resigned. “I don’t know how you misunderstood. I already proved I was a girl like you. I’m not interested in your body. I just want to learn!”
“I thought you wanted to wear dresses with my body.” Xu Youxiang’s words held a little mortification.
Swapping bodies just so he could wear dresses with someone else’s body?
Xia Yu couldn’t understand Xu Youxiang’s logic.
“If it’s beginner programming, you can find stuff online. I’ll tell you the book to search for.” Xu Youxiang started to teach.
Xia Yu returned to bed, opened the notebook computer, and began learning.
He didn’t use the experience prop immediately.
Thinking of the experience prop, he felt guilty for using so many of them yesterday morning. He didn’t think Xu Youxiang’s issue would be fixed so quickly.
There was only half an hour left of the three 2x experience prop, and one-and-half-hour left of the 5x experience prop.
Trying to be less emotional, after he figured out the basics of programming, Xia Yu started to practice.
It was convenient that, in this world, the Han language was the programming language. But he still couldn’t use it well at first. It was very different from spoken Han, so as to prevent controversy.
It was then that he turned on the experience prop.
After using up all of the experience prop, Xia Yu achieved Programming Lv 1. He was much slower at this than learning piano with An Siyao. One, programming included more knowledge than piano-playing; two, Xu Youxiang’s programming wasn’t as good as An Siyao’s piano-playing.
Xia Yu wasn’t happy with his speed, but Xu Youxiang was amazed.
“You learned so fast. Are you sure you’re not pranking me?” Xu Youxiang asked.
“I have tricks of my own,” Xia Yu said.
Xu Youxiang seemed doubtful. When she was teaching him programming fundamentals, she could feel that Xia Yu was a novice. He didn’t improve in one go, he just learned very quickly.
“With my speed, when can I develop my own cell phone app?” Xia Yu asked eagerly. His bank account balance was pathetically low.
“Make cell phone apps? You can do it now,” Xu Youxiang answered.
“Really?” Xia Yu was pleasantly surprised, but he was also uneasy.
“But we don’t know how many years it’d take, and how many bugs the app would have,” Xu Youxiang continued.
Not even seeing her face, Xia Yu knew she was laughing evilly.
Xia Yu reached out his hand and rubbed it on his thigh.
“What are you doing?” Xu Youxiang panicked.
“Revenge!” Xia Yu said stoically.
