Chapter 354: Speed Up or Slow Down

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After that, she took a history class and a language class. These two classes mainly relied on understanding and memory.

Lauren always had a good memory. Some of the rewards from previous missions could help enhance her memory. For example, the reward from that mission—memory pill.

After taking the memory pill, Lauren’s memory would become much stronger. However, Lauren did not need to rely on this. Her memory was already very good. This was one of the prerequisites for her to be chosen as the host.

Of course, the prerequisite was that she could memorize things by heart. There was nothing in the world that could be easily obtained without effort. Lauren was very willing to put in the effort for the sake of knowledge.

Basically, Lauren could recite a long text paragraph word by word after reading it two or three times.

After these few classes in middle school, Lauren was going to attend the last class in the high school section.

As soon as the class bell rang, Lauren took out the accelerator from her spiritual consciousness. In her spiritual consciousness, the accelerator looked like a pair of shoes.

Normally, once she wore this accelerator, it would start to work. However, Lauren sensed that she did not speed up. Instead, she walked much slower than before.

“Is this really an accelerator? It even made me slow down!”

Divine Nine always appeared at the right time.

[System Divine Nine: Host, that’s why I said you have to level it up. The key is that once you wear this accelerator now, you won’t be able to take it off in five minutes.]

“So, I have to wear these shoes that make my speed slow down for another five minutes? But there’s only a 10-minute break between classes!”

[System Divine Nine: Host, you can only hope for the best. However, these teachers probably won’t mind if you’re late, right? You’re a new student after all.]

“Divine Nine, this isn’t much of a consolation.”

At her wit’s end, Lauren had no choice but to wear this “speed reducer” and slowly move forward.

When Lauren was using this accelerator, from the perspective of others, she was still moving normally, so she wouldn’t arouse any suspicion.

Of course, there were still some loopholes. If Lauren met someone at a certain place and that person greeted her, then that person would follow her speed and arrive at her destination.

“This means that if the real me has already reached the third floor, but in everyone’s eyes, I am still on the first floor. If someone were to greet me on the first floor, would that person instantly follow me to the third floor, because he would be connected to me after he touches me?”

How awkward!

[System Divine Nine: Yes, Host. Therefore, when you use the accelerator, be careful not to let others touch you. Try to avoid greeting others. Otherwise, it will affect others and may cause them to be suspicious and puzzled.]

“Alright, but your design is too unreasonable! The more reasonable design should be that if that person saw me, then I would return to that place. If someone bumped into me on the first floor, then the real me should return to the first floor from the third floor. This way, it won’t arouse the suspicion of the outside world.”

Lauren complained about the design of the accelerator as she moved slowly.

[System Divine Nine: This accelerator was originally designed for us to complete our mission. In order to seize every second and prevent those ghosts from escaping, this accelerator was designed in this way. If someone touches you and you have to return to the starting point, then the mission may never be completed.]

“Alright, but the speed of this accelerator is too slow!”

Like a tortoise, Lauren slowly moved forward for five minutes. There were still five minutes left before class started, so she had no choice but to sprint forward with her short legs.

When the students in the corridor saw that a little girl had suddenly appeared in their school, they were very curious and gathered in small groups at the side.

“Hey, who is this kid? Why is she in our school?”

“That’s right! Who brings their younger sister to class?”

Lauren was not in the mood to care about this at the moment. All she wanted to do was to rush forward.

She was going to Grade 12 Class 1 in high school. It was her favorite math class, so she did not want to miss it at all. She ran as fast as she could and finally reached the building before the bell rang.

She stopped to rest for a while.

Just like in senior high school and other places, she attracted everyone’s attention.

“Lauren, what are you doing here?”
