Chapter 150 Richard Parker

As a student, the biggest problem is to go to class. Even though Zhang Chu really wants to finish reading the novel "Bird Pi", unfortunately he has no time.

"System, is there anything that can give me a little more private time?"

If this continues, he has to go to class, do his homework, and read the original novel. When will he write "Youth Pi" be written? Zhang Chu was at a loss and had to find a system to see if there is a solution.

"The host can change the time flow rate with reputation value. The current time flow rate in the system is consistent with the outside world, and can accelerate up to 10 times. It requires 100,000 reputation value per hour!"

Zhang Chu was worried that he would not use up so much reputation. It was quite good to read original novels or movies adapted in the system. It only took 10 hours outside, which was quite time-saving.

He looked at his watch and said, "Please exchange it for an hour."

The reputation of 100,000 is not a problem for Zhang Chu, who is now rich and powerful. His previous speech at the opening ceremony allowed him to gain millions of reputation.

The only regret is that the speech given by the boy China is not complete. If he says the complete content, the world will probably question it. After all, the history of the two worlds is similar, but not the same.

Zhang Chu, who is worried about not having enough time, can now slowly check the content of the original work, watch the movie first and then the novel, and he has a clear understanding of the whole story.

The whole novel is narrated in the form of a middle-aged Pai recall. Pai is an Indian who runs a zoo when he was a teenager. When he was 16 years old, due to a change in his life, in order to make a living, Pai's father decided to sell the zoo and transport the animals inside to Canada for sale.

The whole family took a cruise ship to prepare to immigrate to Canada. However, on the way, they encountered a storm and the cruise ship sank and took away Pai's family.

In the storm, Pi climbed onto a lifeboat, and were saved by hyena, female orangutan, zebra, and an adult Bengal tiger named Richard Parker!

During the next 227 days of drifting at sea, Pi and the animals lived together on a small lifeboat. He witnessed the cruel scene of the hyenas eating zebras and female orangutans one after another, and later the hyenas were eaten by Richard Parker.

He had to fight with Richard Parker in a desperate situation, fighting each other but dependent on each other, and finally living in peace.

Along the way, they experienced the Man-Eater Island, witnessed fantasy events such as the giant squid and whale eating, and knew that the lifeboat drifted to the beach, and the fishermen were rescued, while Richard Parker walked into the jungle without looking back!

It is precisely because the whole story is too fantastic that the investigators of the insurance claim are skeptical about it, so Pi tells another version of the story about the chef, sailor, mother and herself.

This story is completely different from the previous sunny sea adventure story. It is as terrifying as hell. It sends anger to kill the mother's enemy and relies on eating human flesh to drift on the sea to survive the disaster.

The two stories make the whole novel full of mystery, and the open ending makes readers and audiences scramble to discuss which one is real.

After reading for ten hours, Zhang Chu felt dizzy all over. He went directly to the bathroom to wash his face with clean water to refresh himself.

"I'll have to take a good rest next time. Although the time flow rate has changed, the brain capacity has not changed."

This just made Zhang Chu read the novel in a hurry, and then he would combine it with the full text and Indian religious culture to slowly analyze and understand it.

When Zhang Chu was curiously searching for "Youth Pi" online, there were no search results, which made him feel much more relieved.

But when he searched for the name Richard Parker, he found that there were many results, and this person actually existed!

"It turns out that the name of Tiger Richard Parker also has meaning." Zhang Chu murmured to himself, he didn't know the background at all.

Richard Parker was a real person. During the Great Discovery in 1844, a British ship called "Mulberry" sank near the Cape of Good Hope in Africa, and the crew fled to the only lifeboat.

Huge waves, fierce sharks, shortage of food and fresh water challenges the crew's survival limits.

Among the four crew members, Richard Parker, who was only 17 years old, had no experience in sailing. When he fell ill and fell into a coma, the other three worked together to kill Richard Parker in order to survive and fed for the body, and were eventually rescued.

Therefore, in "Young Pi", the tiger is named after this name and then associated with similar plots, the metaphor in it is naturally very obvious.

This Bengal tiger is a symbol of human animal nature and evil. In the Western context, the name Richard Parker is often associated with drifting, cannibalism, and killing each other.

"There are so many details in this novel. It seems that it is not easy to be careless. You must study it carefully."

When he was watching the movie, he never thought about why the tiger wasn't called Peter Parker, but he wanted to call it Richard Parker. It wasn't until now that he understood everything!

Seeing that the class time was about to come, Zhang Chu quickly picked up his backpack, then rented a small yellow car outside the community, and ran towards the teaching building quickly.

...

"You might be asleep, are you?"

An Mi looked at Zhang Chu who was panting and asked in surprise.

They came to the classroom early to take a seat, but unfortunately they could only sit in the middle, and the front row was already occupied by others in advance.

After Zhang Chu had just parked the car, he climbed four more stairs. He heard the preparatory bell ringing when he sat down. He said with lingering fear: "I forgot about the time I read the book. Fortunately, there are shared bicycles outside, otherwise I would have been late."

Sun Ruiqi suddenly spoke, "Or we'll buy a bicycle tonight, it's inconvenient to not have a car."

There are special carports under the dormitory building and the teaching building for parking, but car theft is also rampant.

"Yes, I want to buy a dying flying car, it's so handsome! I wanted to buy it in high school, but unfortunately my family didn't let it go." An Mi said excitedly. He was strictly controlled since he was a child, and now he has finally gotten out of the cage, so of course he wants to make his own decisions.

Zhang Chu couldn't help laughing, "Flying to death means that people are dead, and the car will fly out. You should buy a cheaper car, otherwise you may be stolen in a few days."

Yan University’s campus is open to the public. Car thieves were once the most hated by Yan University students, and many new and good cars were stolen.

An Mi took advantage of the fact that the teacher had not entered the classroom, and he pursed his lips, "Okay, let's go to the west gate of Tsinghua University to buy it together tonight. It is said that there are many cars selling there, and there is also a warranty."

"Let's talk about it after class."
