Chapter 149: Yellow Calendar

Seeing these five characters, Chen Mu's first reaction was:

How embarrassing.

When I first heard that Song Yu's group was called Qingbei and Yangbu'an named his ability Vector Launch, I also felt this way a bit.

Back then I thought they were quite good at playing.

But looking at it now, our Qiming isn't bad either.

The chronicle is out.

Should we next work on an era name? Appoint a historian?

Ziwei Dynasty? Junwei Emperor? Grand Historian Tang Jing? Commander-in-Chief Chen Mu, Master of Stables Du Jia Jia……

However, looking at everyone's reaction, it was either surprise or excitement, an air of shared pride.

Indeed, as the saying goes, one person's chuunibyou is embarrassment; a group's chuunibyou is the weight of history.

Opening that rough notebook, it detailed in detail the events from the disaster onward, the full 51 days before and after the founding of the Qiming Organization——

April 27, 20XX: A mysterious force acted upon humanity; the 11 survivors from Class 4, Grade 3 of Ziwei High School gathered in the classroom, abilities awakened, Luo Hui died.

【Detailed event description: At 2:44 p. m., humanity shrank; Dong Junwei searched everywhere for survivors and found the last survivor in the classroom, Chen Mu, in the northeast corner……】

April 28, 20XX: The remaining ten members unanimously agreed to leave the classroom and move to the storage room on the north side of the cafeteria.

【Detailed event description: After resting overnight……】

……

……

What happened in just 51 days was described in detail by Tang Jing from start to finish.

Without saying anything else, Chen Mu truly admired her memory to the point of prostration; she could recall exactly what happened each day down to the hour. He increasingly felt that the academic ace must have awakened some kind of intellectual enhancement ability, yet from some of her strange behaviors, it seemed there was more to it.

"Holy crap, it feels so formal."

"Like reading a history book……"

"If we someday unify the world, could I become a chancellor?"

"Tang Jing is the chancellor; you at most could be a eunuch……"

"Nonsense, Dong Junwei is the emperor—why would we need a eunuch?"

"……"

An A4-sized notebook was passed around among everyone; by the time it returned to Tang Jing's hands, it had become dirty and wrinkled.

The current paper is entirely made by Chen Mu changing its shape; its quality is actually poor, comparable to writing on grass paper.

But having paper and pen is already a qualitative leap.

Chen Mu carefully read through that so-called Qiming Chronicle, and not to mention, he gained quite a lot.

Because he buried himself in training almost every day, many trivial incidents among the other members were unknown to him before; looking at it now, this thing is actually not bad, at least it has great commemorative value.

Without mentioning unifying the world, just waiting for life to become comfortable and then rereading it would also make a great memoir.

As for recording history, Chen Mu still doesn't see any necessity; if it were the early days of living hand-to-mouth, he might even have opposed it.

But now the pressure to survive has lessened considerably, and since Tang Jing is enthusiastic about it, he went along with her.

Thinking of how Tang Jing had been acting mysterious and mystical these past few days, only to come up with this, Chen Mu still found it funny, a bit of making a mountain out of a molehill.

However, just as everyone was preparing to disperse.

"Don't rush, there's still another one."

"Huh?"

Chen Mu was also taken aback.

Only then did he recall that, according to Wei Dalei's account, Tang Jing should have been compiling a calendar.

So, this second volume is the calendar?

This thing actually seems somewhat useful.

Only saw Tang Jing take out the notebook with the top-flipping pages and place it on the table.

Sure enough.

When opening the first page, at a glance it was indeed a calendar.

【June 17, 20XX】

【Wednesday】

However, upon another close look, many characters were densely written underneath.

What can a calendar write?

Chen Mu leaned his head in to take a look, and was instantly dumbfounded.

【Lunar calendar metal rat earth year, leap fourth month, twenty-sixth day, water horse wood month, metal rabbit wood wall collecting day, today's phenology: silent tongue】

【……】

【Suitable: sacrifices, seeking wealth, signing contracts, marriage, forming alliances】

【To avoid: opening markets, setting up beds, burials, moving into a new home, breaking ground】

【……】

So.

This is an almanac?!

Everyone was momentarily dazed.

Tang Jing looked at everyone with a grin: "How about it?"

"Does this count as feudal superstition?"

Chang Junyan scratched his head and rubbed his feet, asking foolishly.

"It could also be called traditional culture..."

In high school, this is the stage when people love to argue, such as topics like traditional Chinese medicine, GMOs, martial arts, which often lead to near-fights.

Feudal superstition and traditional culture is also a dangerous topic.

But what exactly is an almanac? Students nowadays are actually quite unfamiliar with it, to the point that they can't think of anything to argue against it for a moment.

Moreover, since Tang Jing personally wrote an almanac, anyone who goes up to refute it would just be asking for discomfort.

The reputation of Tang the Great Demon King is not just hot air; don't look at her frail and unawakened self, but messing with you is a matter of minutes.

"So, from now on can we do things according to the almanac?"

"Sounds unreliable."

"Actually it's not bad; anyway, if you don't check the almanac you'll always make wrong choices."

"Let me see... today it's favorable to seek wealth; wanna go out for a stroll? Maybe we could even bring back a truck."

"And today it's also favorable for marriage; wanna find you a wife?"

"That would be great."

"……"

The trigrams Qian, Kan, Gen, Zhen in the almanac are incomprehensible, but the daily suitability and avoidance make a good topic.

Everyone flipped through it, laughing and chatting.

Chen Mu flipped straight to the end, seeing the last page dated October 4th, having written for about over a hundred days.

He laughed and asked Tang Jing: "Are these things you made up, or should they be written this way?"

Tang Jing said: "Almanacs actually come in types; mine is compiled according to the 'Xie Bian Fang Shu', considered the most authoritative and official version."

"This thing actually has an official version?"

Chen Mu couldn't be bothered to ask what the 'Xie Bian Fang Shu' was; he had always thought almanacs were nationally uniform from ancient times.

Who knew this thing also has pirated copies?
