Chapter 1923 Elementary School Comprehensive Knowledge Essentials (Grade 16), A Future Without Dorae

Chapter 1923: Essential Elementary School Knowledge (Grades 1-6), A Future Without Doraemon
However, even though he understood this, Doraemon didn't say much about it.

It doesn't intend to define Nobita with heavy terms like "time node" or "history creator"; whether to Nobita or to it, he is simply Nobita Nobi, its most important friend.

So Doraemon simply listened attentively to what Nobita had to say, including his descriptions of the other world's members, his awe at the "future memories," and his longing for "points," or rather, the things in the shop.

When Nobita finally finished speaking and looked at it with a mixture of trepidation and anticipation, Doraemon nodded and then asked curiously:
"So, Nobita, do you want to use my gadgets to recycle them into 'points' and then buy what you need from there?"

It was neither surprised by the magic of the "points" cross-world trading system nor did it perceive any risks involved.

From Doraemon's perspective, this is essentially no different from him taking out gadgets from his pocket to help Nobita solve his problem.

Are many of the gadgets of the future capable of altering reality?

If we're talking about potential risks or "impacts," the Anywhere Door, the What-If Phone Booth, and the Dictator Button—if these gadgets were misused, the consequences would likely be far more terrifying and direct than any "power" Nobita could obtain from the chat group.

The key lies in the person using it, not in the source of the power.

It believes in Nobita and that even if Nobita gains new powers, he will not use them for evil or destruction.

Moreover, what Nobita really wants to exchange for with points is just elementary school knowledge, so what kind of impact could that have?
"Yes, that's right, so is Doraemon okay?"

Nobita looked at Doraemon expectantly.

"Okay!"

Doraemon said cheerfully.

"But let's make this clear first."

"You can't exchange dangerous or particularly important items; you have to discuss with me how to use the points you get."

"Even if you use points to buy knowledge, you still have to work hard to learn it yourself. Okay, we can see how it goes."

Doraemon paused halfway through his sentence, noticing Nobita's face suddenly fall, and considering Nobita's hopeless learning ability and the extremely cheap points required for those "future elementary school knowledge" points. He then waved his round hand helplessly.

"But at least you have to try to understand it, you can't just rely on rote memorization or... well, you know."

It originally intended to emphasize the importance of self-directed learning, but then swallowed its words.

After all, if points can be easily redeemed for clear and easy-to-understand knowledge, it might be a more efficient way for a child like Nobita with a weak foundation.

Forcing him to study hard like a normal child might only increase his frustration.

It decided to remain flexible on this issue and see how things go first.

"Yes! Thank you, Doraemon!"

Nobita smiled happily, the huge weight on his heart finally lifted; with Doraemon's support, he felt his confidence soaring.

"Then, let's try it out and see what's the most suitable thing to exchange for points?"

As Doraemon spoke, he reached into his magical four-dimensional pocket and began to rummage around.

Although his pockets contain countless amazing gadgets capable of changing the world and even the rules, Doraemon's thought process is very clear: safety first, caution is paramount.

Anywhere door? Shrinking/enlarging lamp? Time machine. Powerful gadgets flashed through its mind, only to be rejected one by one.

It trusts Nobita's kindness, but it understands Nobita's personality even better.

Impulsive, easily carried away, and sometimes ignoring the consequences.

If the items taken out for recycling are too powerful and yield a lot of points, it's hard to be sure that Nobita won't use them secretly.

After all, Nobita has a lot of "glorious history".

While we can believe in Nobita's inherent goodness, we shouldn't always trust him too much.

Doraemon muttered to himself, his round hand rummaging in his pocket, finally pulling out a handful of things—several small, propeller-shaped bamboo dragonflies.

"Let's try this one first."

Doraemon placed several bamboo dragonflies on the tatami mat.

"Bamboo dragonflies are inexpensive and very practical."

"I have quite a few spares here."

"Moreover, its principle is relatively simple and its function is clear: anti-gravity flight."

"Even if... well, if it is researched or copied, the harm is relatively controllable, at least it won't directly cause a world crisis like some props."

Doraemon pondered that the bamboo copter was a relatively "gentle" and common gadget, making it suitable for testing the mechanism of the "recycling" function and the value of the points.

"Okay! We'll use this one for now!"

Da Xiong had no objection. He actually thought the bamboo dragonfly was a good fit, and the group leader had also said that the value of the bamboo dragonfly was enough for him to exchange for elementary school knowledge.

"Chat group, reclaim the bamboo dragonfly in front of me."

Nobita steadied himself and, following the information in his mind, issued commands to the chat group in his head.

His heart was racing; he was both excited and nervous, wondering how things would turn out.

Almost the instant his thought crossed his mind, a soft halo enveloped the small bamboo dragonflies on the tatami mat.
The halo flashed and disappeared so quickly that it seemed like an illusion.

At the same time, Nobita clearly "heard" a clear notification sound ringing in his mind:
"Ding, recyclable item detected: 'Bamboo Dragonfly (22nd Century General-Purpose Personal Anti-Gravity Vehicle)' x4. Evaluating value."

"Assessment complete."

"This item incorporates stable antigravity field generation technology, high-efficiency micro-energy technology, neural connection adaptation technology (simplified version), and basic force field protection technology."

"Recycling value: 2000 points in total. Confirm recycling?"

Two thousand points?

Nobita's eyes widened instantly. Although he was mentally prepared, the fact that four spare bamboo dragonflies could be exchanged for 2000 points was still far beyond his expectations.

Does this mean that a bamboo dragonfly is worth 500 points?

As the group admin previously revealed, ten points can be redeemed for elementary school knowledge.
This is such a great deal!
"Confirmed! Recycling confirmed!"

Da Xiong hurriedly shouted in his heart, afraid that if he was a step too late, this "huge sum of money" would fly away.

"Recovery confirmed."

As soon as the notification sound ended, the four bamboo dragonflies on the tatami disappeared, as if they had never existed.

In Nobita's chat group interface, the points balance that was originally displayed as "0" instantly jumped to "2000".

"It has already been recycled."

Nobita said to Doraemon.

"Yes, I saw it, but I didn't find anything."

Doraemon stroked his smooth chin; although he had been paying attention, he hadn't noticed anything.

However, given that it is an existence capable of connecting all the heavens and myriad worlds, it is not surprising that it possesses such means.

"Did you get the points?"

"Hmm! 2000 points!"

Nobita nodded excitedly, his face beaming with uncontainable joy.

"Doraemon, one bamboo copter is worth 500 points! Ten points can be exchanged for elementary school knowledge! We're rich!"

"Let's try it out and see how it goes."

Doraemon, also somewhat expectant, spoke to Nobita.

"it is good!"

After responding, Da Xiong eagerly found what he needed in the chat group shop.

"Item to redeem: 'Elementary School All-Subject Knowledge Compendium (Grades 1-6)', requires 10 points. Confirm redemption?"

"confirm!"

Nobita didn't hesitate at all.

The moment he confirmed it, an extremely peculiar feeling descended upon him.

There was no pain like a book hitting your head, nor was it like the brief feeling of fullness after swallowing "memory bread".

Instead, it was a cool, gentle flow of information, like a spring stream, that naturally "flowed" into the depths of his mind.

Mathematics: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, decimals, simple geometry and logic; Chinese: hiragana, katakana, kanji, grammar, reading comprehension and basic writing; Social studies: Japanese geography and history, civics.
Natural phenomena and basic physical and chemical concepts in the sciences; even the fundamental principles of subjects such as music, drawing, family, and physical education.
From first grade to sixth grade, all the knowledge points that he used to find confusing in class and frustrating during exams have now become crystal clear.

The knowledge was not rigidly piled up, but integrated in an easy-to-understand way, as if he had already learned it a thousand times, but now it was being reawakened and firmly imprinted in the depths of his memory.

Some concepts that were previously obscure and difficult to understand can now be understood with a little thought; the stroke order and structure of some Chinese characters that I could never remember are now clear to me.

Nobita instinctively covered his head, but he didn't feel any discomfort.

On the contrary, an unprecedented feeling of fullness and groundedness filled his mind.

He "knew," he truly "knew," and it was an almost instinctive, unforgettable "knowledge."

Doraemon carefully observed Nobita's reaction and, seeing the pure and bright joy in his eyes, knew the answer.

It checked Nobita's brainwaves and physiological state, and everything was normal, even more active and stable than usual.

This method of knowledge transmission appears to be safe and efficient, and it seems to genuinely promote understanding rather than mere memorization.

"Great, Nobita!"

"It seems that this 'points redemption' system is really useful!"

Doraemon was happy for him too.

"However, you have the knowledge, but you still need to practice and apply it yourself, otherwise it will just be empty talk."

"Ok, I know!"

Da Xiong nodded vigorously, his confidence soaring like never before.

"I feel like I could finish all my homework right now! No, I just want to try doing some practice problems!"

Without hesitation, he walked to the desk, grabbed his workbook and pencil case, and started working.

The phrase "writing with divine inspiration" couldn't be more fitting for Nobita at this moment. Problems that used to require him to bite his pen and rack his brains for ages, drawing countless chaotic line segments and possibly arriving at the wrong answer, are now solved by him with the steps as clear as if they were drawn with a ruler.

Numerical calculations are fluent and fast, formulas are applied accurately, and even unit conversions and understanding of questions that I used to get confused about have become a breeze.

"Easy, easy, so easy!"

"Is this really a problem that usually stumps me? It feels as simple as 1+1!"

"I can't believe I used to be so stupid."

"The answer is so obvious, where did I get stuck before?"

After finishing one page, Nobita turned to the next, his hands moving without stopping, his tone filled with amazement at his "past self" and a hint of slight disdain.

"But that's all in the past!"

"I'm smarter than ever before! I feel like my brain is glowing! No, it's working at high speed!"

He became more and more excited as he wrote, and wrote faster and faster, unable to stop smiling.

The sense of accomplishment from overcoming difficulties and writing smoothly was something he had only occasionally experienced before when he used tools to cheat, and it was far less real and reassuring than it was now.

This is an ability he acquired through his own "learning," a power that truly belongs to "Nobita Nobi"!

Doraemon stood to the side, initially surprised, then his expression turned to one of relief and amusement.

It watched as Nobita "brushed" his homework with astonishing efficiency. Although his handwriting was still somewhat messy, the accuracy of his answers was obviously extremely high.

It doesn't even need to take out the "answer chalk" to compare; just by looking at Nobita's smooth problem-solving process and confident expression, it knows the result.

"But are the effects really that immediate?"

"It seems that the 'knowledge essence' is not just about memorization, but also about improving basic understanding and application skills. This technology is quite impressive."

"but."

Seeing Nobita's smug expression, as if he were about to float away, it couldn't help but remind him:
"Hey, Nobita, it's good that you know how now, but don't get too cocky."

"Moreover, elementary school knowledge is just the foundation; there are middle school and high school knowledge to follow."

"I know, I know!"

Da Xiong didn't even look up; his mind was completely absorbed in the pleasure of "crushing" the homework.

"After I finish all this, I'm going to find all the previous test papers and redo them!"

"I'm going to surprise my mom and teacher! Hehe!"

He could already picture himself easily getting a perfect score on his next exam, Shizuka looking at him with adoration, his mother happily rewarding him with the latest manga, and even Gian no longer daring to mock his grades.

Just thinking about it gives him a lot of motivation.

Looking at Nobita's energetic back, Doraemon smiled and shook his head, but he was also genuinely happy for him.

Whether it's through points or gadgets, Doraemon believes that as long as Nobita can build self-confidence, that's good.

Its core mission, coming from the future, is to help Nobita achieve happiness, isn't it?

But it is ultimately a robot from the 22nd century.

Its companionship is not without end.

Sewashi sent it to improve Nobita's current situation, thereby changing the Nobi family's future poverty and allowing Sewashi himself to live a better life.

This goal has been slowly progressing since the moment it arrived, through various tools and through daily interactions and influences.

But one day, when Nobita truly grows up and no longer needs its meticulous care, and when history is guided towards a sufficiently stable and happy future, perhaps that will be the time for it to leave.

So it was really happy for Nobita that he was able to join them.
