Chapter 122: 121, Qinghe Fund (Fourth update, asking for monthly pass)_1

While Ren He was waiting for his punishment mission, Elder Zhou suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "What did you say in the second half of your sentence? Say it again!" Elder Zhou suddenly felt that the latter part of Ren He’s words was very interesting; it was like opening a window, illuminating the vague thoughts that had lingered in his mind!

Ren He’s face turned green. Elder Zhou, I’m already scared out of my wits, and you want me to repeat it? Are you wishing for my swift demise... He mustered his courage and said, "If the youth are wise, the nation is wise; if the youth are strong, the nation is strong; if the youth make progress, the nation moves forward."

"Profound!" Elder Zhou suddenly praised, "This sentence is simply too profound! Did you come up with this yourself? Are there any articles related to it?"

There were articles indeed, but writing them wouldn’t just mean completing a mission; they wouldn’t earn much money either. Ren He hesitated... No, wait, such things could definitely be used to obtain exemptions. Since it’s about sacrificing profits anyway, why care about whether there are earnings!

It was at that moment that Ren He had a sudden epiphany. He remembered many classic works in his memory that were not suitable for making money. If it had been before, he would never have bothered with such thankless tasks, but now it was different. Ren He could freely use them in exchange for exemptions!

The Divine Punishment System probably agreed with this reasoning in advance, Ren He could almost be certain of it. Competing in wit and wisdom with the Divine Punishment System with his little cleverness was truly overestimating himself. If it wasn’t truly beneficial, why would the Divine Punishment System agree, right?

"I do have a work, called ’China’s Youth Speak,’ but it won’t be available for a while, and you can count all the manuscript fees into the Qinghe Fund," Ren He decided to finish the current stage of his mission and then write ’China’s Youth Speak.’ After all, ’China’s Youth Speak’ was indeed meaningful, and it had greatly shocked him when he first saw it.

"I didn’t expect you to have truly elevated your awareness," Zhou Wumeng said happily, "This isn’t something we can discuss clearly over the phone. Wait for me, I’ll fly to Luo City in the next few days to discuss this matter with you. We must do this good deed well. Ren He, if this really succeeds, your merit will be infinite."

Merit being infinite and such were all intangible; what mattered to Ren He was obtaining the exemption. And he had once had the opportunity to spend a month in a truly impoverished area as a volunteer teacher for a life experience. The schools there were dilapidated, with no plaster on the walls, and instead of steel reinforcement, the walls were simply piled up with earth!

The students there had to walk more than ten miles of mountain roads just to get to school, and there was even a river to cross. Even in late autumn, the children needed to wade through the river. The coldness of the water was such that Ren He was reluctant to even dip his hands in to wash them—it was too cold!

The children couldn’t go back home for lunch. Eating a bit of corn in the classroom was their midday meal. That kind of heartache was unimaginable for city kids.

So Ren He understood a truth back then: the world was far from as simple as he had imagined, and equality for all was nothing but an empty talk.

Now, considering that he could also do his bit to help those children, to build primary schools in reasonable locations so they could have a bright and proper learning environment, his heart felt warm.

And there was a reason for choosing the Three Character Classic. After all, it couldn’t sell movie rights, and even though its revenue seemed higher than that of ’The Divine Book,’ it had the lowest ceiling. ’The Divine Book’ surpassing it was just a matter of time, and its rights were what really mattered.

Now that the Qinghe Fund was making some headway, it was time to think about how to complete the current three missions.

The third mission, to complete a total of 36 drifting moves, was the simplest for him: just film a few runs back and forth on the video slope. Besides, the Divine Punishment Mission didn’t specify any speed requirements for drifting through turns, making it even simpler: a drift at the speed of 23 mph also counted, completely safe.

The second mission, to surpass 100 motor vehicles, wasn’t difficult either. Just find a main road in the city, and during a traffic jam, easily overtake a hundred vehicles... Who hasn’t been overtaken by a bicycle while driving, right?

The most challenging was still the first mission, because it was too particular about the location. To reach a speed of 100 kilometers per hour, there had to be enough slope. Additionally, the total length needed to be long enough for about half an hour’s worth of high-speed biking— at least thirty kilometers of road!

Actually, the most famous place in the country for downhill road cycling is the Heavenly Road of Heavenly Gate Mountain in Zhangjiajie, with an elevation drop of 1100 meters and a total of 99 bends, thus nicknamed Heavenly Road. It even includes several hairpin turns!

Many people have heard of the term hairpin turn, but not everyone knows what kind of bend qualifies as a hairpin turn. Ren He had heard about the five consecutive hairpin turns of Mount Akina from "Initial D" in his previous life, and that’s how many people came to know about it.

Hairpin turns, those are bends with a curvature nearing 180 degrees, like the angle of a hairpin! These types of turns are the most dangerous when drifting!

The thought alone made Ren He itch with anticipation; he knew he would eventually make a trip down that Heavenly Road for a downhill rush.

But clearly, now was not the time; his choices were limited to the areas around Luo City... But where would be suitable?

That’s it, Mount Laojun in ZC county with an altitude of 2193 meters!

This indeed was the best spot for now. Ren He had decided to complete his mission there. It was only a two-hour drive from Luo City, and he could also take Yang Xi along for some fun. After all, neither of them were students plagued by academic troubles anymore, they could enjoy their leisure time while others were buried in their studies.

Not having to study hard must be the coolest thing about student life... It’s like everyone else is cramming for college entrance exams, and you’ve been guaranteed a spot half a year in advance. The teacher seriously tells you that you no longer need to study, but you mustn’t disturb the other students and wishes you a good time...

What a feeling! So transcendent!

You exist beyond the three realms, not confined to the five elements. While you all struggle, I’ve already easily stepped over it, and it brings me so much joy to see you all studying hard...

Ren He was that kind of jerk—if he could have had a guaranteed spot in his past life, he would have happily sung "The Hero Song" in front of all the hardworking students: "The stars in the sky belong to the Big Dipper, yes! Everyone has it, I have it, you have it, we all have it!"

Unfortunately, in his past life, he wasn’t granted such privilege...

But being reborn allowed him to finally relish the experience, realizing it was truly amazing! Forget about middle school exam questions, even the college entrance exam questions were etched in his brain!

However, it was slightly unfortunate that he couldn’t flaunt this because, for one, it was a kind of supernatural phenomenon, and secondly, if he got too cocky and it led to them changing the exam questions, he would not only screw himself over but Little Fatty Xu Nuo as well...

Could you really expect Xu Nuo to get into a university based on his own merit? Getting into a community college was already a stretch!

When Ren He slipped a note to Yang Xi mentioning a weekend trip to Mount Laojun, her eyes sparkled. Their last trip to White Cloud Mountain to see the sunrise had been ruined by the dawdling of their classmates, and although Yang Xi didn’t say much, it was still a regret.

Now, the idea of watching the sunrise with Ren He seemed even more meaningful. This was probably the first time the two of them were going to watch a sunrise together.
