Reborn in the ’80s as a Group Favorite Bigshot – Chapter 18

Chapter 18: You are Amazing

After the two left, the scholarly-looking old man said, “This little comrade is not bad.”

Teacher Lu had the best impression of Song Chu. “I told you she’s different from the rumors. She’s a nice and warm-hearted little comrade. I don’t know why people say such terrible things about her.”

Old Gu nodded. “She does seem quite nice.”

He added with a smile, “Her character is different from the rumors, but her courage is about the same. She is indeed very bold.”

Besides daring to go up the mountain and kill a large python, she also dared to come to the cowshed and ask Old Zhao to cook for her and have her second brother become his apprentice. This took a lot of guts. After all, they were considered “bad elements,” and not many people dared to interact with them.

On their way back, Song Chu and Song Lao Er, as expected, didn’t encounter anyone. Everyone had gone to Fang’s house to join the excitement.

Shortly after they returned home, Tang Feng came back, looking triumphant.

Song Chu poured her a glass of warm water. “Mom, you must be tired.”

Looking at her, there was no need to ask. Her mother must have won the argument. Her undefeated record in village quarrels was not just for show.

Tang Feng took the cup and finished the water. She was indeed thirsty from all the yelling. Her daughter was so thoughtful.

“I can’t let anyone bully you.” Tang Feng hadn’t seen Fang Yue Lan today. Otherwise, she would have slapped her across the face.

“That little brat slanders even her parents and siblings behind their backs. She’s got a bad character. Don’t ever listen to her sweet talk and make up with her again,” Tang Feng said.

The Fang family’s conditions weren’t that great, but after her daughter made a fuss, they still let Fang Yue Lan attend junior high school. This showed that they weren’t the kind of family that liked to mistreat their daughter.

Otherwise, why would they compromise? After all, her daughter wasn’t a village cadre.

But Fang Yue Lan spoke ill of her family behind their backs, which proved she was an ungrateful wretch.

Song Chu had similar thoughts. “Mom, I definitely won’t interact with her again. Don’t worry.”

When the rice was cooked, Song Chu went to deliver food to Gu Yue.

Entering the educated youth spot, she saw a man and a woman cooking.

Originally, there were a few people standing under the eaves talking, but when they saw Song Chu, they immediately turned and went back to their rooms in fright.

The two people cooking were nervous when they saw her enter.

The man forced a smile. “Comrade Song, hello.”

He had witnessed Song Chu carrying the headless snake back today. Just thinking about it made his scalp tingle. He had completely classified her as a tigress not to be provoked.

Although she was very pretty and easy on the eyes, they didn’t dare to get close to her.

The female educated youth had also seen Song Chu carrying the snake back. She thought Song Chu was a female demon. Fortunately, she hadn’t offended her like Educated Youth Jiang did.

“Song, Comrade Song, hello.” She looked up, her voice a little soft, and also forced a smile.

Song Chu found it a bit funny. “Hello, comrades. Don’t worry, as long as you don’t provoke me, I won’t do anything.”

“I’m a good person,” she added.

The two: “…” This woman is really shameless.

Song Chu didn’t pay them any more attention. Seeing that Gu Yue’s door was open, she walked straight in.

She saw him still sitting on the bed reading a book, but this time it wasn’t a high school textbook but a book on physics and mechanics. It looked quite old and was probably found at a recycling station or somewhere similar.

Gu Yue put down the book, a smile spreading across his handsome face. He had obviously heard what she said outside. “You’re here.”

“You studied science?” Song Chu took out the bowls and chopsticks from the basket and placed them on the table.

Gu Yue smiled and said, “Yes, I studied science. I like math and physics the most.”

“Do you know how to make machines?” Song Chu glanced at the book he put down.

Gu Yue replied, “I have a lot of theoretical knowledge, but I haven’t had a chance to put it into practice. I don’t know if I can actually make anything.”

◈◈◈

“You can try when you have the chance,” Song Chu said, touching her chin.

If this guy was good at science and could make machines, it would be very helpful for her plans to develop the village.

Gu Yue, not knowing what she was thinking, tentatively asked, “Do you mean using that laboratory to try it out?”

“It’s not impossible. The equipment in that laboratory is quite advanced and sophisticated. You can use it in the future.” He didn’t mention it, Song Chu almost forgot that there was a lot of equipment in her laboratory that could be used.

Unfortunately, the original items in the laboratory couldn’t be taken out. They could only be used inside.

But fortunately, things from outside could be taken in and out freely. She had already tried it on the mountain.

Gu Yue’s eyes deepened, and his smile became more pronounced. “Then I’ll have to trouble you to teach me how to use them.”

He had been studying the laboratory in his mind all last night, and today he accidentally managed to enter it.

He also discovered that the various experimental equipment inside was too advanced. He had never seen them before, let alone heard of them.

He used to frequently visit the physics institute in the capital to study and had seen the best experimental equipment there. But compared with the ones in his mind, they seemed too crude and inferior.

Therefore, he speculated that the things in this laboratory might not belong to his era but were the products of a new civilization.

Song Chu didn’t know what he was thinking. Otherwise, she would have been amazed at how clever he was, being able to deduce the truth just by looking at the experimental equipment.

“You can tell that I know how to use them?” Song Chu raised an eyebrow.

Gu Yue chuckled, “Aren’t these your things? If you don’t know how to use them, who would?”

Song Chu laughed. “You’re quite smart.”

“Your foundation is too poor. Even if I taught you now, you wouldn’t be able to use them,” she said truthfully.

The equipment in the laboratory included not only the most advanced ones from before the apocalypse but also those improved by the research institute after the apocalypse. Even with Gu Yue’s intelligence, it would be difficult for him to understand them given the current level of technology.

For example, he definitely wouldn’t know how to use computers and analyze data.

In this era, the development of computers worldwide was still in its early stages, let alone their widespread use.

Gu Yue, having seen it with his own eyes, knew she was telling the truth. “Then I’ll learn slowly. There will always be a day when I can use them.”

“You went in?” Song Chu, being highly intelligent herself, quickly caught on.

Gu Yue nodded. “Yes, today I kept thinking about going in to take a look, and I accidentally went in.”

“…” Song Chu was speechless. If this person were in the apocalypse, he would most likely become a prominent figure.

She hadn’t even taught him how to use his psychic power to enter the laboratory, and he had already figured it out on his own.

“You are amazing,” she said sincerely.

Gu Yue smiled. “Thank you for the compliment.”

“Does this mean I can also go into your half of the laboratory to read books?” He was more interested in this.

Especially after guessing that these might be books from a new civilization, his thirst for knowledge grew even stronger.

Song Chu found that this person was definitely an academic god level, or else why would he be so interested in the books in her half of the laboratory.

“If you can enter yours, you can enter mine,” she said, not bothering to beat around the bush.
