Chapter 4: Teaching Through Video

Translator: Zayn_

When I returned to the dormitory, I still couldn’t think of a solution. I sat on the bed absentmindedly.

“Luo, you’re back. How’s your tutoring?”

My roommate, Liu Fei, came over and put his arm around my shoulder to greet me.

“It’s not bad, right?”

I replied lazily and looked at him. “What are you doing?”

“What else can I do? I’m just watching videos!” Liu Fei showed me his phone and motioned for me to look at it with him.

“The vlogger I’m following hasn’t been updating recently. I’m just browsing to see if there are other interesting videos.”

I glanced at Liu Fei’s phone. It was a comedic vlogger. Liu Fei liked to watch such things.

“There are so many vloggers. Just find another one you like.”

I replied absentmindedly.

“You’re right, but you don’t look very happy. Do you want to watch it together?” He asked.

“Thanks, but I still have things to do.”

I rejected Liu Fei’s kindness, picked up my phone, and lay on the bed… Wait a minute!

Video!

If I upload a tutorial video, will there be many people learning from me? Then I can level up quickly.

“Liu Fei, you really are my inspiration.”

I thanked Liu Fei from the bottom of my heart.

“Ridiculous.”

Liu Fei mumbled.

I didn’t have the time to bother with him. I quickly browsed through the teaching videos on YouTube and watched them seriously.

I didn’t have any experience in making videos, so I had to learn from others.

After watching hundreds of videos, I finally started to make them.

What should I use for the video content? I definitely couldn’t use Elementary Math.

So, I flipped through the university textbooks and found an advanced mathematics problem. I recorded the process of solving the problem in detail, edited it, and made a video.

I registered a YouTube account and uploaded the video I had just made.

Of course, I didn’t forget to add a caption.

“Free answers to all kinds of difficult questions. If you have any questions, you’re welcome to leave a message in the comments section.”

After I posted it, I suppressed the urge to watch it every minute and fiddled with my phone in boredom.

But soon, I didn’t have the time to be bored. Liu Fei pulled me to play games.

“Luo, you should relax. We’re short of one person. Hurry up.”

I took a look at the video and saw that no one left me a message, so I happily joined Liu Fei’s team.

Three hours later, I stopped the ashen-faced Jerry, who had lost terribly, from asking for another round.

“I’m tired, I’m tired! You guys go ahead!”

Liu Fei looked at the results and, for once, did not try to stop me from playing. “Alright, Luo, if you don’t want to play, I won’t either. But you have to believe that we’re just unlucky.”

As I unlocked my phone, I replied perfunctorily, “Yes, yes, yes. You’re very good. It’s just that the teammates you’re matched with are noobs.”

I scrolled through the video and found that there were more than zero replies. Someone really did comment on it.

I mumbled, “I hope it’s a question and not some boring spam.”

[ What are the classifications of the German passives? ]

My eyes brightened. It was actually a German grammar question. Although my German wasn’t good, I could answer this question.

I picked up my phone, thought about my words, and posted the answer in the comments section.

[ German passives are divided into process passives and state passives. The content of the two passives is different. The process passive expresses the process of action, while the state passive expresses the state produced by actions.

In German, these two passives not only emphasize different content, but also differ in composition form.]

After I answered, I checked again and there were no mistakes.

I waited for a while, but there was no system prompt.

I couldn’t help but wonder if the person who commented didn’t understand it.

That’s impossible!

I opened up the system interface and saw that my comprehension was still at 20%. This question wasn’t difficult. As long as the other party wasn’t an idiot, they would definitely understand.

Had that person not seen my reply?

Or could it be that this learning method was not recognized by the system?

Just as I was feeling apprehensive, a familiar notification sound suddenly rang in my head.

[ Ding! Congratulations to the host for teaching Li Yan ‘German grammar’. You have received a 10,000-fold critical hit and are rewarded with German Level 8,1 credit point, and 20,000 experience points. ]

Oh my God, Level-8 German!

Even though I was mentally prepared, I was once again shocked by the system’s reward.

One had to know that the Elementary Math Olympiad questions were still in the scope of elementary school, but it was a different story for Level-8 German.

My German was so-so. I was usually not very interested in German, but now I’d learned all the knowledge of Level-8 German just by answering a question.

How could this not be shocking?

I impatiently received the reward, and the knowledge of Level-8 German appeared in my mind.

This is knowledge that truly belongs to me. How exciting!

I was excited not only because I had Level-8 German knowledge, but also because this had proven that answering other people’s questions online could also earn me rewards.

Although I didn’t get any money from this method, I was full of confidence.

After gaining knowledge, would I not have money?

I’m Level 8 in German. I can make a lot of money by just looking for a translation job!

However, I was not in a hurry to earn money. I would work hard to improve my knowledge.

To the first person who asked me a question, I enthusiastically replied with another comment.

[If you have any other questions, you’re welcome to comment and ask me. No matter what the question is, I can give you the most perfect answer.]

I looked at my comment in satisfaction. The other party replied quickly as well.

However, this time, it was not a simple grammar problem.
