Episode 4: The Fastest Learning Speed in History
"Mom, I'm back!" As soon as he entered the door, Li Yan saw the breakfast already prepared on the table. Although it was just ordinary meat porridge and salted vegetables, it gave him a long-forgotten unusual feeling.
"Xiao Yan, you're back." Seeing Li Yan, Li Ping's face was filled with surprise and delight, and she couldn't help but ask excitedly: "Your body..."
"There's nothing, just that I got rained on yesterday and suddenly felt a lot clearer in the head." Seemingly sensing Li Ping's excitement and joy, Li Yan couldn't help but feel a twinge of guilt. After all, her son had long since passed away, and she was only borrowing his body and continuing his memories. In the end, the current Li Yan was still a different person from the previous one.
But this matter, he couldn't mention it explicitly, so when facing Li Ping's questioning, he could only lightly gloss over the incident.
"Ah, ah!" Upon hearing this, Li Ping nodded excitedly and repeatedly, her face filled with a look of surprise and delight. If she hadn't known Li Yan's personality, at this moment, she would have already hugged him tightly and burst into tears.
Breakfast passed in the faint conversation between the two, feeling the warmth that came from Li Ping's infinite motherly love. At this moment, Li Yan suddenly felt a little fortunate, fortunate that the previous owner of this body was an idiot, no one had ever really understood him, so now even if he had changed himself, Li Ping hadn't noticed anything wrong, and in this way, he could continue to possess this motherly love, this warmth...
"Now that I've taken over your child's body, let me become your child instead." Li Yan thought to himself silently, and only at this moment did he feel that he had truly completed his reincarnation. Some things, perhaps, can only be cherished after they are lost.
Fortunately, next week is the second mock exam for the whole school, so this is a rare weekend break. This way, he has at least two days to adapt to his new identity.
Mother Li Ping finished her breakfast and left the house to sell vegetables at the vegetable market. Lunch was already prepared and placed in the cabinet, so she wasn't worried that Li Yan would go hungry.
Looking at the empty and only one-person home, the area is not large, nor luxurious, but very simple, gave Li Yan a very secure feeling.
Back in his own room, Li Yan sat down at his desk and casually pulled out a thick book that was several inches thick. It was the medical book "Ben Cao Gang Mu" that he used to read often. Although his body couldn't keep up with his mental reactions, his thoughts were still very clear. So, over the years, he had never given up on treating himself. The extracurricular books at home were also mostly related to medicine.
As he flipped through it casually, Li Yan couldn't help but smile to himself. It seemed that he had underestimated the people of this planet after all. The medical techniques related to yin and yang, five elements, and the birth and death of a hundred herbs were incredibly profound, not inferior to many developed planets. Of course, compared to what Li Yan possessed, there was still a huge difference between heaven and earth.
For thousands of years, apart from cultivation, whether it's ancient herbal medicine or the most advanced medical technology, even if he just has a slight understanding, it is enough to surpass ordinary people by several times or even dozens of times.
However, Li Yan still patiently flipped through the entire book and memorized it. After all, as a loose immortal with a strong yuan soul, he had a photographic memory, which was just a basic thing for him. He only remembered these knowledge to confirm some basic uses of certain medicines. These herbs, even if they were of the same type, but on each planet, their names and even medicinal properties were different.
He then went on to finish all the extracurricular medical books he had, and in his mind, the knowledge was like a supercomputer, memorizing, absorbing, and reorganizing the knowledge, eventually becoming what he needed.
However, this is not enough. After all, his current identity is that of a third-year high school student who is about to take the college entrance examination. Since he has already been reborn, Li Yan naturally does not want to perform poorly, otherwise, the reputation of an eight-lifetime loose immortal like himself would be utterly lost.
Although I received the memories of that person, it's clear that their intelligence wasn't any lower than a normal person. However, because their body was too weak, they didn't retain much knowledge. Now, everything has to be started all over again.
He casually picked up his school bag, took out all the textbooks and exercises inside, and Li Yan simply flipped through the textbook. The content inside, including the notes, was memorized by him without missing a single word.
However, compared to subjects like language, history and politics, English and mathematics are slightly less effective when it comes to rote memorization. After all, English has listening comprehension, writing, vocabulary, speaking, grammar, while math requires not only remembering formulas but also mastering the methods of using them and truly understanding their practical applications.
Moreover, after all, what he remembered was only the knowledge of the third year of high school, which had great limitations. Whether it was above or below, these pieces of knowledge were extremely fragmented. In this way, even if Li Yan was incredibly talented, wanting to deduce a planet's civilization with his own strength alone seemed somewhat too difficult.
Indeed, if Li Yan didn't mind spending a year and a half to deduce such a not-too-complicated civilization system, it wouldn't be a problem. But the key is that he doesn't have enough time now. After all, it's already almost April, and there are only two months left until the June college entrance exams. Relying solely on deduction won't be enough to meet his needs.
And next week is the second mock exam, he doesn't want to be like that person again, always at the bottom and being looked down upon.
Fortunately, although it was a bit troublesome, all of this couldn't stump Li Yan. Wanting to speed up his understanding and grasp of these subjects wasn't entirely impossible either. At the moment, he rummaged through boxes and cabinets, looking over all the textbooks and books that had been left behind from elementary school to high school.
This knowledge, from shallow to deep, step by step, is like a ladder. After Li Yan memorized it all, he could naturally connect them together and form a perfect connection.
Then, Li Yan Yuan's mind dispersed and these memorized things went through the memory of the sea of recognition, absorption, then deduction and combination, eventually becoming the knowledge he grasped.
To verify the knowledge he had memorized, Li Yan picked up the exercises from before and with a quick glance, he immediately discovered that for the previous person, the questions were as difficult as climbing to heaven, but for himself, they seemed extremely simple, almost without needing any thought or calculation, the answers could be easily obtained.
He did several sets of exercises, whether easy or simple, and found that almost all the questions were no longer a problem for himself.
"The knowledge and civilization on this planet are only primary, but it's good to have a great memory!" In less than an hour, Li Yan had acquired knowledge that ordinary people might not be able to grasp even after studying for ten or twenty years. To be honest, he felt quite accomplished.
However, Li Yan was not satisfied with that. These knowledge and the ones he had before were more or less related to each other. So, after lunch, he put aside his books and used the basic knowledge he learned from them to deduce higher-level knowledge. With the support of his strong yuan Shen, this seemed like an impossible task for others, but for Li Yan, everything was as smooth as water flowing into a canal.
Just like this, in Li Yan's relentless pursuit, time had unknowingly slipped away into the evening...
