231 Silver Wolf (1/2)
When Happy sat among one hundred students and listened to the sound of them reading out loud, he felt as if he had left the world of martial artists. The atmosphere was incredibly calm and peaceful.
He held a book in his left hand while sitting among the students in his blue robe. He flipped through it quietly and read the lines while noting some things down with his right hand. He never stopped, as if he had used some sort of hack. His written lines were neat but wild, and his words quickly covered the white sheet of paper.
The developers of the game had not created a programme that would make the players practice their calligraphy in the game. Hence, as long as the players paid attention and read the words, they would naturally write the words on the paper instead of having to do it themselves.
It was a very quick way to obtain Comprehension points, since it was much faster than practicing and pushing a martial art to Grandmaster Realm. Hence, the players sometimes needed to stay patient and spend time reading and writing.
For the sake of fairness, even if a player paid a lot of money to increase their Comprehension, they would need to read the books before their Comprehension would increase. The system only helped them write down the words.
Ding!
There was a clear sound of the notification from the system.
”Successfully learned the Three Character Classic. Comprehension +1.”
The first book swiftly vanished from Happy's hand.
Hey did not find it strange and picked up another book from the table, flipped open the first page, and began reading it out loud.
Books like the Three Character Classic contained the easiest and most concise academic knowledge. The time required to read through them once was also the shortest. The others would require at least half an hour while some even up to two hours! Hence, reading and writing became the main theme of Happy's life that day.
He did not go to classes in reality, but instead came to the game to read and write. Many people would find it hilarious and strange.
”The Osprey sings on the small island in the river. A kind and beautiful girl is the ideal partner for a boy.”
Since Happy had experience from his previous life, he could easily read aloud many of the sentences, and he did so with great ease. He finished reading and writing the entire book in one go and looked like one of the NPC students who served as a background beside him.
Happy did not notice that the players further away had already become dumbstruck.
They could be considered as old timers in the private school, and when they were free, they would come there to chat. However, they had only met a handful of people who came to the school to study. Most would just quickly glance at the books and would run away after they saw the exorbitant prices. Sometimes, a rich person would drop by and read Three Characters Classics, but they would be defeated by the prices after that too.
None of them were like Happy.
He had a pile of stupidly expensive books in front of him while he waved his brush and wrote at a moderate pace. He looked as if he wanted to spend all his money in the school.
But even if he wanted to spend his money, he needed to actually have it first.
The six people were completely intimidated by Happy's presence and bearing! They held their breaths and did not even dare to breathe loudly while whispering into each other's ears to try and guess his identity.
”He bought around ten of them… That's at least five hundred thousand, maybe six hundred thousand taels of silver.”
”If we convert it to RMB, that's tens of thousands. This brat sure is willing to spend his money. Isn't it better to just buy a few high-tier martial art manuals if he's so rich? What's the point of pushing his Comprehension so high now?”
”Who knows? Besides, how would you know if he doesn't have any high-tier martial arts? Judging by his bearing, he doesn't treat money as anything. Tsk, tsk, when can I also be like him?”
”The likes of you? You waste your life when you have nothing to do! If I have to say, you can forget about it in this life, that is, unless there is an inflation!”
”Shut your trap.”
While the group chatted, it gradually lost its interest in the stranger who continued to read without looking at anyone. The six bent over their tables and continued to spend their time in boredom.
Throughout it all, Happy never stopped. He was completely immersed in reading and writing, and the books on his table vanished one after another.
