After Switching Bodies, the Mad Overbearing CEO Takes Over the Entertainment Industry-Chapter 68 - You Are My Only Brother

Chapter 68: Chapter 68 You Are My Only Brother

Feng Juanjuan burst out laughing, her gaze shifting to the expressionless Qin Jiangsheng, unable to hide her disappointment.

“Qin Jiangsheng, let’s go. The task is about to begin.”

This time, the task was in a large room set up like a classroom, with a total of ten tables, each covered with their high school study materials. The task was to memorize as much as possible before the candles went out, and whoever did best would receive the greatest reward.

At the end, a professional teacher would check their recitation by picking at random.

As soon as Ji Weinan entered the dilapidated classroom, he felt like dropping dead on the spot. There were also four candles of varying thinness on the table, gradually growing longer to correspond with time intervals—one half-hour, one hour, and so forth—possibly testing how long you could endure.

The longest candle would burn out after two hours. If you could memorize the study materials before the smaller candles extinguished, you could get the reward faster.

...

Ji Weinan’s gaze fixed on the thickest candle, feeling his fate would linger beyond this candle.

Quan Jingyou and Ji Weinan, this pair of unlucky brothers, chose to sit together. Quan Jingyou said, “Weinan, do me a favor, help me connect with your sister.”

Ji Weinan: “???”

What bridge? The Lover’s Bridge?

His eyes nearly shot fire: “You animal, my sister is only seventeen, and you want to be my brother-in-law? Dream on!”

Quan Jingyou: “???”

Then he realized what he meant, as only Gong Yu knew he wanted to become Ji Tian’s apprentice. So he became bashful again: “No, I mean, I want to be her disciple, to learn skills from her.”

Ji Weinan was at a loss for words: “Learn her venomous tongue or her slacker skills? Stay away from her, laziness is contagious.”

But Quan Jingyou was deadly serious: “No, I want her to teach me gaming. My dream is to enter the eSports arena and become a professional player.”

[Am I deaf? What did Quan Jingyou say? So originally he meant to take Ji Tian as his master to learn skills?]

[Exactly, I’m dying of laughter… what can you learn from her? She’s all brawn, no grace, manlier than any guy, and with Quan Jingyou’s slight build, don’t break under Ji Tian’s hands.]

[The funniest joke I’ve heard this year. Ji Tian with her ‘Iron Hands’ playing games? I think she’d be better at smashing screens.]

Given Quan Jingyou’s skills, Ji Weinan could gouge out his own eyes. He relaxed and then frowned again, finally speaking earnestly: “Ah Jing, there are millions of dreams out there, if this one doesn’t work, switch to another. There’s always something suited for you, professional might not be for you, amateurs might be a better fit.”

“…”

Why does everyone look down on him?

He was really serious about this, it was his dream, he knew he wasn’t skilled, but he could learn, of course, assuming Ji Tian would teach him.

“Brother Nan, please, you’ve always wanted the limited edition Vui console, right? I managed to get one, what if I gave it to you if this works out?”

Ji Weinan paused for a moment, then firmly patted his shoulder: “I was a bit loud just now, you’re totally suited for going professional. But leave this small matter of her teaching you to me, get the console ready, I’ll come over to check it.”

[I’m dying of laughter, Ji Weinan really has a knack for comedy, he might as well make a career in the entertainment industry with that, I’d definitely follow his shows.]

[That was a faster turnaround than flipping a book, now I’ve seen everything.]

[Quan Jingyou: Having you is my blessing. I’m suffocated on behalf of others again.]

Quan Jingyou, with tears welled up in his eyes: “Brother Nan, you’re my only brother.”

Ji Weinan twitched his lips, hoping his real brother didn’t hear this; he was worried Quan Jingyou would get killed when he went home after the show.

Except for them, other top students had begun to memorize.

Especially Shen Zhiyi, since this related to their survival for the next two days, she needed to put her all into it. Her system could enhance Life Value, Beauty Value, tenacity, Body Shaping, and Popularity, much like a system everyone adored.

However, with 008 recently absent, she had been relying on her own efforts, reaching nearly twenty in Internal Competition Value. She had basically stacked it all on Beauty Value. In her view, to gain more attention, only beauty could accomplish that, but fortunately, she had a genius brain. Being able to read ten lines in one glance wasn’t an exaggeration; she memorized things very quickly.

Ji Tian was the last one to enter the classroom, and sitting at a desk in a group was Qin Jiangsheng, his gaze fixed on the flickering candle, seeming lost in thought. When Ji Tian arrived, he lifted his gaze, staring fixedly at her.

Ji Tian had been away for a day, utterly exhausted, and just wanted to finish, crash on the bed, and sleep, not caring about anything else.

She looked at the burning candle, quietly opened her book, and since her Wisdom value had reached three, she felt her mind was like it was on cheats; she memorized extremely fast, as now, flipping open a page, the content of the first page was imprinted in her mind, painfully unforgettable.

She didn’t want to study, didn’t want to study at all.

She flipped through the whole book from beginning to end, and the room was so quiet that only the sound of pages turning could be heard; the candle in front of her had only been burning for about three minutes.

She felt so irritated that she puckered her lips and blew one out.

Great, no one minded her.

The second candle was a bit far, and she couldn’t blow it out, so she picked up the material and slammed it down on it, snuffing all the candles with the force of the wind.

Ji Tian smiled as she stood up, “Alright, the candle is out, I’ve finished studying, I’m going to take the test now.”

Ji Tian quickly tidied up the table, scared of being late and not being able to return, more eager than when she had arrived.

Everyone: “…”

Yan Ming: “…”

Staff: “…”

[Is that even possible?! What did she learn? Just flipped through all the books and then deliberately snuffed out the candle?]

[Candle: Good thing it went out quickly, almost made her study.]

[Huh? Studying for so long, does she have no regard for her life?]

[Candle: What’s she busy with, planning to take a double PhD exam by studying so much?]

[Studying so fast, she must be preoccupied, probably wanting to rush home and sleep soundly on a 200-square-meter big bed.]

The entire barrage was shocked by Ji Tian’s crafty maneuver, buzzing with discussions.

Not just the barrage, but everyone in the classroom was startled.

Then Ji Weinan saw her successfully come out from the neighboring professional teacher’s room, a wise light emitted from her eyes.

He had understood; he needed to go back and rest.

So, following her example, he snuffed out the candle and rushed next door for evaluation, only to be sent back after five minutes to consolidate.

In his heart, he had an MMP, unsure whether to say it or not.

He protested loudly, “Why can she leave like that, and I have to be detained? This isn’t fair!”

The professional teacher’s expression was also strange, finally saying, “If you can recite even the punctuation of paragraphs from the text like she did, I’ll let you leave.”
