Chapter 362: Lots of Reading (2/2)

Bang!

Gravis fell onto his back as he finished reading the last word. He was finally done! If Gravis were only reading it, he would have been done about two months ago, but he was reading very slowly. After all, he had to remember everything in detail.

The contents of the book were very detailed and descriptive. There were even diagrams and descriptions of how the specific material looked when magnified many times. Apparently, when one magnified any material enough, they would find that matter was also just Energy.

Energy was Energy, and matter was Energy. This meant that everything was Energy. Were space and time also Energy? Was Gravity also Energy? Gravis wasn't sure, but it seemed that way. He had also seen and recognized some similarities and patterns between different materials. Gravis felt like he was on the cusp of understanding something, but he just couldn't make the connection.

”You done?” his father asked.

Gravis sighed in exhaustion. ”Yes. I'm done.”

”You remember everything?” his father asked again.

Gravis nodded. ”Yep.”

”Good, then let's get onto the next topic,” his father said.

Gravis furrowed his brows and lifted his head to look at his father. ”You won't test me?” he asked.

”Why?” his father asked.

Gravis sat back up again and scratched the back of his head. ”Well, what if I didn't remember everything?”

”But you said you did,” his father said, evenly.

”Yes, but what if I only said that to stop reading?” Gravis said.

”Would you do something like that?” his father asked.

Gravis scratched the back of his head more. ”No,” he said.

”There you go. Testing you is a waste of time,” his father said.

Gravis sighed. He had realized by now that his father was logical to a fault. Gravis scratched his chin in thought. 'Maybe that's where I got some of my personality from?' he asked himself.

Whooop!

A Jade Token appeared in front of Gravis.

”This Jade Token has the information for all possible alloys for the materials. It's about 18 times the content,” he said.

Gravis' eyes widened. ”I already read for so long. Do you intend to keep me here forever?” he asked.

His father just blinked with a bored expression. ”This shouldn't take more than a couple of hours,” he said.

Gravis' eyes widened. ”That fast? But didn't you say it was 18 times the content?” he asked.

”Yes, but the Jade Token will directly push the information into your Spirit. You just need to slowly get used to and comprehend it. As I said, it shouldn't take more than a couple of hours,” his father said.

Gravis grabbed the Jade Token and looked at it with furrowed brows. Then, he looked at his father.

”Why didn't you just give the information about the materials to me in a similar way? After all, you said that the reading was mostly for training my concentration. I have trained my concentration to the highest point it can reach when I was only 10% into the book. Couldn't you have just given me a similar Jade Token then?” Gravis asked.

His father blinked with a bored expression again. ”You knew the point of that exercise, and when you've reached that point, there was no reason to continue reading. I could have given such a Jade Token to you.”

Gravis' ruffled his hair in frustration. ”And why didn't you?”

”You didn't ask.”
