After the meal, Song Yan made an excuse to send Li Lei away. He came to the grove of the school, called out the system interface and did the lucky draw.
This time, he won a skill at the same level of Extraordinary Retentive Memory —Better Comprehension and Calculation.
Once he turned on the Better Comprehension and Calculation, his capabilities of comprehension and calculation would be enhanced by dozens of times in the coming two hours.
Though Song Yan was a student of liberal arts, he also had to study Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. He had only 75 Mental Capability points at the moment, and his capabilities of comprehension and calculation were below average. Therefore, this skill arrived at the right time.
After school, Song Yan's uncle called him and asked him to have supper in his house while he was cleaning the classroom.
He went to the shopping mall first. He spent 2,000 yuan on two cartons of cigarettes and two bottles of wine for his uncle and 2,000 yuan on a coat for his aunt-in-law. Mean as Yang Yanli was, she had never pocketed a portion of his living expenses.
After thinking, Song Yan went to the jewelry store and spent 6,000 yuan on a small jade Buddha statue for Song Xue.
"Song Yan, you're back." Song Shize opened the door. Suddenly, he saw the presents in Song Yan's hands and asked with a frown, "Why did you buy these?"
Song Yan became a little nervous and explained, "Uncle, I helped the policemen catch two wanted men. They gave me a money award. So I bought some gifts for you and aunt."
"Come in. Save that money for yourself. You must not spend money wastefully."
"Uncle, I get it." Song Yan immediately nodded.
It was an exceedingly good supper. Yang Yanli put food to Song Yan's bowl from time to time, and the latter was overwhelmed by an unexpected favour.
After supper, Song Shize got Song Yan to his study and exhorted him to study hard. Song Shize also asked Song Yan to spend the night here.
However, Song Yan had to play piano in the café in the evening. So he made an excuse that he didn't bring his books here and had to review the knowledge for the monthly test. Then Song Shize had to let him go.
Yang Yanli saw him out for the first time and praised him.
Song Yan believed that was because the coat worked.
Yang Yanli had sharp eyes. Before the supper, she examined the coat and knew it costs above 2,000 yuan at least. Together with the cigarettes, wines and jade status, Song Yan spent at least 10,000 yuan. Yang Yanli felt Song Yan was not an ungrateful person. She disliked Song Yan before, but now she changed her mind.
Song Yan went to his dorm, changed his clothes and trotted to the café. He asked Meow and found it needed 2,000 Fame points to do the next lucky draw.
After the lucky draw, he had 929 Fame points left, which meant he still needed to get more than 1,000 points.
It was not easy to get 1,000 points. If the policemen didn't praise him in front of all the students and teachers, he wouldn't be able to earn 1,000 Fame points in a month.
Song Yan arrived at the café, which was fully occupied.
He looked around, but didn't see Xiang Feifei. He was a little disappointed.
After the performance, Zheng Yun, the competition organizer, came to him again and asked him to fill in a registration form. She told him the competition would be started on the 15th of this month.
Song Yan lived a busy and meaningful life in the coming few days. He took classes, listened to music online, played piano in the café and studied with the two skills of Extraordinary Retentive Memory and Better Comprehension and Calculation.
With the help of the two skills, he had been making steady progress day by day. It was worth mentioning that Han Sha took over Yan Weimin's position to serve as the head teacher of Class 9. All students of Class 9 were thrilled.
Time flies. It was time for the monthly test. Song Yan could hardly wait to prove himself after he had been preparing for it for a long time.
