I found another word whose meaning was a surprise to me:
| Word | Reading | Definition |
|---|---|---|
| 成见 | chéng jiàn | preconceived idea, bias, prejudice |
Because the hanzi are so common, it felt like I should have known the meaning of the word, but the real meaning was not what I imagined.
I continued the story a bit, I finished chapter 9. I like it so far, but it’s also not my favourite.
I finished Varka SQ, it was insane!! He got a crazy trial, I can’t remember any character having so much combat in their story! (though to be fair, there are a lot of SQ I haven’t done yet). I loved the last part a lot, the cutscenes were great too, and the combat was really cool. Thank goodness I haven’t played his story during his banner! Varka’s playstyle is so good 
Cleared Lucidscape! I always try to speedrun with my best characters. Teams were:
First half:
They cleared in 4 rounds. I did a retry, but I couldn’t clear in 3 rounds no matter what. Maybe the team is not optimal, because Fatutu didn’t do anything.
Second half:
Not sure what this team is exactly, but they cleared in 3 rounds no problem (Ezio is P5 and Charon P3). I didn’t play Cassandra at all.
There were only two character names in 神の言葉, so I’m not doing a character list. Even for Closet it was not really necessary.
I finished 神の言葉, another incredibly fascinating story. It’s kind of scary to think that someone can write so many unique yet equally impactful stories.
I really loved this one, the end was so striking and terrifying too… But what I loved the most is the protagonist, it was such an interesting character, not just his personality and how it made him struggle, but that he was aware of it.
I went through Lorentz Butterfly story. I found some parts interesting, some less, so I skimmed through them. I initially thought I would skip the whole character story, so I’m glad I went through it. But yeah, I don’t feel invested in this patch at all.
With Anki, my biggest struggle was to add cards regularly so that I could study new things every day. With my new flashcards, the struggle is to not add too many cards at once… It’s so easy now, I have popup dictionary on all the texts I import to the website, and I can add them to the flashcard from the popup window directly, so it’s tempting to simply add all the words I look up. And given that the sentence they’re coming from (as well as all the sentences saved on the website that contain the word) are shown as example sentences on the card, I also don’t need to worry about adding context.
Adding new words used to take so much time… 
I had started the last short story, 伊娃．瑪莉．克羅斯, then given up because it was too hard and I couldn’t follow well enough. I gave it another try while keeping an eye on the text this time, which makes it very easy. I listened to 1/3 already, I don’t know if I’ll continue to read along while listening, or try to listen only from now on. Now that I know the context, it should be easier.
「精彩到让人愿意失忆了再看一次的小说」可是最高的评价啊。你们也是这个级别的朋友。

Finished chapter 14 and the first part too! There are two parts in total in the book.
I’m halfway through the book now, still loving it very much!
I’m still in the middle of the second chapter… I love how almost each time we get to do a different activity or game. On the one hand, I’m happy to still have these to do, so I can also meet Columbina still, but on the other hand, will I ever get the glider… not before Snezhnaya that’s for sure…
Liu Song and Du Mingqiang go in a restaurant where four men try to attack him. Liu Song and his men capture them easily.
Luo Fei recalls the day when Chen Tianqiao was attacked, Yuan Zhibang was willing to tell him what he had done, but Luo Fei chose to keep his rendez-vous with Meng Yun rather than listen to him.
Luo Fei interrogates the four men who attacked Du Mingqiang and realises that it’s a set up by Mingqiang himself. The leader of the group is Chang Kai, a man who got away with killing someone with his car thanks to his family money and relations. Du Mingqiang attacked him relentlessly in articles and revealed his identity.
Knowing that he was protected by Liu Song, he purposely revealed his location to Chang Kai so that the police capture him. Liu Song settles the score with him, and Du Mingqiang offers to cooperate, which will give more freedom to Liu Song to participate in the team efforts to find Wen Chengyu.
Did a lot of exploration today, especially the part of the new region that’s the most South-East. I had completely overlooked that part and hadn’t even unlocked the TP! This brought my exploration of 风息山 to 84, and the total exploration of the two regions to 75%, so almost there! Next time I’ll explore a little bit more in the Temple of Space, reaching those 80% will be quite easy.
Did a lot of things in Genshin today, Nicole’s quest part 3, Prune’s Witch’s Homework (it was adorable!), some exploration, visited Columbina, and I just did the introductory dialogue of the new event (so happy to see Kazuha!! 
) but I haven’t started it yet.
I still haven’t done the new IT, but now I might as well wait for Lohen to be IT ready. I think that even at 70, he would be a big upgrade to my cryo roster!
Finished chapter 13, almost halfway through!
Luo Fei and Mu Jianyun study Chen Tianqiao’s complaint following the 1.30 case. He said that both his wife and himself have been attacked during the night at their home, then he was tortured into revealing the code of his safe. He said that his aggressor was Wen Hongbing’s accomplice. Nothing relevant was found on the crime scene.
Mu Jianyun thinks that Chen Tianqiao made the story up, but if it was that easy, Ding Ke would have spotted it. It seemed that, on the contrary, Ding Ke thought that the two cases were linked. At the same time, if the aggressor who took Chen Tianqiao’s money was Wen Hongbing’s friend, then the money could have paid for Zhang Cuiping‘s hospital fees, but we know she died soon after.
Luo Fei and Mu Jianyun visit the Chen Dayang, the doctor who took care of Cuiping at the time. He remembers that the family was poor, but after Wen Hongbing’s death, Zhang Cuiping said she had found enough money to pay for her operation, she explained it was money her husband had loaned to someone, and that she got the money back. But a policeman went and questioned Chen Dayang and Cuiping about it. Chen Dayang didn’t hide the money’s existence. After the policeman’s visit, Cuiping changed her mind and refused the operation. This visit hasn’t been recorded in the case file. Luo Fei shows Zhibang’s photograph and asks if he was the policeman in question. Dayang says he wasn’t, but he did come often take care of Cuiping.
Luo Fei and Mu Jianyun come to some conclusions: Cuiping didn’t want the police to know about the money, so she refused the operation. Because the money must have been illegally acquired, she could not legally give it to Chengyu so she entrusted it to her sister who must have kept it for herself while sending Chengyu to the orphanage after his mother’s death. Zhibang is certainly the man who stole the money from Chen Tianqiao, as a way to make up for killing Hongbing.
The identity of the policeman is still a mystery, Luo Fei tries to contact Huang Jieyuan to ask him about it, but he is not available (resting before one of the club’s “performances”).
Her character story 1 was so sad it made me cry. I kind of want to equip the bubble pistol gadget when she’s in the party, no actually I’m going to look at all the toy gadgets I have in the backpack and equip them all!
