my slow journey to infinity

Chapter 125 Master Xiao Chen

Late at night, Wuya Bookstore.

After the sword master Hang arranged Wang Shui's residence, he waved and left.

Wang Shui did not rush to study, but instead browsed the entire bookstore first.

This is a thirteen-story wooden high-rise building. The first floor is the largest and becomes smaller and smaller as you go up.

The decoration here is simple and very clean and tidy, but there is always a clear sense of vicissitudes of life.

The "book collection area" on the first floor has a large number of books.

Inside the huge corridor, there are many semi-open rooms without doors, and each room has a classified door number at the door.

About two steps inside there are rows of bookshelves.

These bookshelves are basically made of dark brown hardwood, with thread-bound books and loose-leaf albums of various types of paper on them, as well as knowledge carriers such as bamboo slips, stone flakes, and metal plates.

On the first floor of the Book Pavilion, the rooms [Cultivation], [History], [Miscellaneous Talk], and [Untrue Records] are the most full of things.

There are even newly expanded areas in these rooms.

Those entry-level cultivation books were piled on the low bookshelf as soon as you entered the [Cultivation] category.

Not only were they printed in many copies, but their binding method was also a relatively modern thread-bound perfect binding method, and they looked like privately printed booklets.

Wang Shui found three books: "Taihe Yuanqi", "Qi Yu Shen" and "Qi Qi". They were a bit thicker than Wang Shui expected.

He flipped through a few pages and found out that there were many previous interpretations included.

Wang Shui took a copy of all entry-level books and threw them into the awakened person's space.

There were no special restrictions here, but Wang Shui didn't want to steal anything. He just threw it into the storage space for convenience.

Separated from the residential area and the "book collection area" is a "school area", which should be a place for public reading.

The tables and chairs in the "Study Area" are not regular and come in various shapes, but they are still orderly and well-proportioned in the chaos. Someone has placed them harmoniously.

Wang Shui even saw a sofa and a small table inside. It seemed that the disciples of the past generations had moved them here themselves?

There was a wide staircase leading to the second floor in the "school area". Wang Shui did not hesitate and went directly to the second floor and the higher floors after that.

The room above is much smaller.

Starting from the fifth floor, the books are no longer classified, and the annotations become fewer.

Wang Shui casually opened a book called "Four Yuan Jade Mirror: The Study of Divine Interpretation". The notes next to it often mentioned that if you want to understand this part, you need to read which book first.

The ladder of the library is like the ladder of learning and progress. Each level becomes more difficult and abstract, while the more simple and elementary knowledge below is the solid foundation for the higher floors.

Wang Shui wants to go to school.

However, he still insisted on coming to the thirteenth floor.

Here is a small pavilion of about fifty or sixty square meters, surrounded by large transparent wooden windows. The mountain breeze and moonlight pass through several sets of hardwood furniture and four bookshelves that are used as walls.

It was quiet and profound, so uncomfortable.

There are not many books here, and a faint glow protects the bookshelves in an almost open-air environment.

Wang Shui did not reach out to take those books, because someone was reading behind the innermost desk.

It was a girl with a black single ponytail, only about eighteen or nineteen years old.

She was wearing a simple and elegant light ink satin dress and a long black cloak. It seemed that her thin clothes could not resist the cold mountain wind, so she hugged her bare feet in her arms, and her whole body was He curled up on the cushion of the large wooden chair.

Like an elegant black cat.

The other party seemed to be attracted by the content of the book and felt Wang Shui's gaze, so he reluctantly looked up.

Her ivory-like skin glowed coldly in the moonlight, and her delicate facial features gave her a hint of cunning in her quietness.

"Did you actually chase me here, Awakened One?"

Ok? !

No, wait a minute! ?

She was obviously an ancient beauty, but she said something that made Wang Shui feel cold from the back of her head to her heels.

"Wait a minute, I'm just passing by to study and don't know you." Wang Shui immediately explained as fast as he could.

He was very afraid that reality would develop into a battle mixed with misunderstandings. In the opponent's petite body, an unknown aura was rising, and it soon broke through Wang Shui's cognition.

Sylvia also turned her perspective. She helped Wang Shui share a lot of pressure, but she didn't know the person opposite.

"It turns out to be the same kind. Ha, another one."

In the last second, the surrounding bookshelves began to creak inexplicably.

But the next second, the cold mountain wind blew everything away.

Able to negotiate, not crazy, but definitely not a local.

While thinking at high speed, Wang Shui took half a step back and took a deep breath. A trace of cold sweat broke out on his body.

In a trance of mixed pressure, the figure behind the huge desk had disappeared. After a moment of recovery, a plain white jade hand was placed on Wang Shui's shoulder.

The other party used his index finger to wipe a thin layer of sweat from Wang Shui's face, and then teleported back to the desk.

Invisible, insensible.

Wang Shui couldn't even tell whether the opponent relied on speed or space ability.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not a bad person, I'm just a little irritated by your high-level awakened people. I didn't expect that I was discovered twice after hiding in this fragmented fantasy world. It seems it's time to leave. "

With that said, the girl had stood up from the chair. She had been floating in the air, and her long cloak slipped down, completely covering her body.

"You can enter and exit this world at will?!"

"Of course, as long as you find...well, it's broken, I almost forgot, this world is undergoing a "proxy war", and you can't leave even if you find the protagonist..."

The girl was suddenly stunned and sat back on the chair with some slump.

"We can only wait until you are done fighting, but I warn you not to do anything near me that will attract the attention of the system. Although I am not a murderous warmonger like you awakened ones, I still have a temper!"

It's great that you're not bloodthirsty!

Wang Shui's hanging heart was mostly relieved. He quickly sorted out his mood and tried to dismantle the other party's communication habits in order to choose an appropriate way of communication.

He had so many things to ask.

The other party seemed to be a very powerful boss, and her aura reminded Wang Shui of Li Junqing, the leader of the demon hunters in the real world.

"You just seemed to say that we are the same kind?"

Wang Shui forced himself to stay calm and sat on a desk on the side as calmly as possible.

He took out a copy of "Qi Yu Shen" from the space and placed it in front of him, as if he wanted to read it here, but in fact he just wanted to sit down and find a chance to talk.

"Huh? Don't you feel it yet?" The girl raised her right hand, gently twirling her index finger and thumb. Her fingertips were filled with aqua regia.

Feel? What does it feel like?

"Master of Knowledge, you idiot! You entered my library. Didn't you realize that this place was built with my spiritual power? Oh, you are only at the second level. Alas, you are really stupid and weak."

"You are also the Knower!"

This time, Wang Shui was really shocked.

The previous information about other knowledgeable people was either mentioned by others or recorded in books. This was the first time for Wang Shui to see living similar people.

Wang Shui's many questions all turned into curiosity about his kind. He was very curious about the actual difference between other knowledgeable people and him.

"It's normal to be shocked. There are indeed very few of our kind. Even I have only seen five, oh, including you, six. We have no connection with each other, but everyone loves knowledge, except With strong negative traits such as [Jealousy] and [Hungry], everyone can still get along well with each other.

Well, let me see your, hiss - arrogance, a new arrogance, the previous one seems to have died decades ago. Your character is too picky and grows too slowly. "

It was sweat, and the Savior girl read the message from the sweat of Aqua Regia.

"May I ask, what is your personality?"

"It's really presumptuous, so I won't tell you!" The girl suddenly smiled slyly, and then licked her fingertips.

"Wow, with such a wealth of alchemy knowledge, you should be at the master level, right? The second is botany, extraordinary plants, almost at the master level.

Well, this flavor is space knowledge. It seems that you not only learned space magic in this strange world, but also gained a lot of your own opinions.

The magic system is so confusing. You seem to be quite knowledgeable in soul magic. What is [Thinking Lock]? "

Wang Shui was so surprised that he opened his mouth wide...

The girl whose name was not yet known came to Wang Shui's side again, and Wang Shui shrank behind the large chair in fright.

After all, he is just a small second level.

"You are only at the second level, but the knowledge you master is so extensive and profound. Is [Arrogance] so strong?"

"Um, I... I'm a newcomer! Shouldn't I be suspicious?! So, what's your personality? You can actually read so much information from my sweat?!"

Wang Shui dared to continue asking.

"Hey, I'm not telling you!"

The girl returned to her seat again, and then began the good-teacher mode common to all knowledgeable people:

"Let's talk about you, you have the smell of "stars" and "qi" in your body, so you come here to find a way to cultivate the origin of life? "

"Yes, my physical fitness is stuck at the extreme value of ordinary humans. Due to the limitations of my talent, it is difficult for me to improve myself through "not being a human being". And "Qi", or "True Yuan", can improve me. Approved by the Knower. "

"Your idea is very correct. The improvement brought by practicing "Qi" will indeed not change the nature of a person. It is just a kind of perfection of life, a kind of returning to nature, just like me.

However, my character only restricts me from using the career system, but it does not restrict me from improving myself, so I don’t have the same experience as you.

No wonder you didn't find the problem with this bookstore. It turns out that the [Perception] attribute is not enough. The cultivation system is very suitable for you to use to improve your own attributes. "

At this time, Wang Shui had already stood up. He bowed and bowed, and then said:

"I hope you can give me some advice."

"Well, that's easy to say." The girl also picked up the tone of her elders and seemed to agree happily.

In fact, Wang Shui originally wanted to say - you saw my real details, and you deliberately told me to scare me and tease me. In order to make up for this impolite behavior, you didn't teach me how to cultivate?

But the other party is obviously a soft-spoken guy, and he seems to be being hunted by the system. Naturally, Shui Wang will not go against his will and flirt with the cat.

"I'm in Wang Shui. I haven't asked the teacher's name yet."

"Hmph, do you want to find my information through my name? You are also a bad guy with complicated thoughts.

However, it’s okay to tell you that as a teacher, I will never change my name or surname, and one of the [Ten Commandments of Gray Mist] [Phantom Mist Society] lifelong scholar-"Chen Chen" is the one! "

Master Chen is not only a good teacher, but also quite a bit of a charlatan when it comes to conversation.

"Then I'd like to thank Master Chen first. Unfortunately, I'm only at the second level, so I don't have any gifts or tuition. How about Master, please leave me your contact information, and I'll repay you when I'm a student?"

"Okay~"

I don't know if Master Chen is overconfident or if she just doesn't have this string in her mind. She doesn't seem to care about Wang Shui's identity as an awakened person.

"So, I can start learning now. Is there any arrangement for the order of learning? Master Xiao Chen?"

"Why did you specifically add the word 'small'?"

"Well, I just see that the master is very young, nothing else."

"You——彳亍! You first read all the books below the tenth floor, and then you are qualified to be taught by me.

It’s not just a memory! You have to really understand those books. If you haven't finished studying them before the end of this world, then don't come to me. "

Wang Shui's somewhat deliberate behavior was indeed deliberately testing Master Chen's character.

Although the other party is very generous and even a little out of touch, as a veteran in the social field, Wang Shui can clearly sense the other party's barriers——

Teaching is okay, chatting is okay, but don’t mention your life experience.

Wang Shui's test was not to explore the details, he was just to please Master Xiao Chen and learn more things in the future.

As for the secret behind the master, what does it have to do with him, a transparent person in the current life, and the future wage earner of the Russell family?

The system's pursuit of Master Xiao Chen is the system's business.

However, Wang Shui's temptation was not all about seeking death. As for why Master Xiao Chen was suddenly sensitive, it was because when Wang Shui called "Xiao", he secretly looked at the other person's figure.

I believe that with Master Xiao Chen's strength, she should be able to detect it. Master Xiao Chen's reaction shows that she is not living in a long-term self-isolation environment.

Someone must have complained about her figure, or she had been concerned about it, so she reacted immediately.

Experience tells Wang Shui that he cannot leave now.

Even if Master Xiao Chen is a little angry, leaving now will only make the newly harmonious relationship even more alienated.

Many times, feelings between people change very quickly.

Wang Shui turned the book he had taken out to the first page and began to read it seriously.

However, Wang Shui knows how to multitask, and he still has room for distraction when reading such an entry-level book.

"Master, is this entire "Wuya Bookstore" an illusion created by your spirit? "

"Oh, it's normal for low-level people not to understand. This is not an illusion, but the embodiment of my rationality.

[Rational Void] Have you seen it? There is a hollow ball spinning around in that black void starry sky. That ball represents all the knowledge you have mastered. "

"I've seen it."

"By the way, after you master that ball and turn it into a star in the void of reason, you will have entered the extraordinary world. Well - you can do it at the third level, no need to rush.

After that, as long as your spirit, or spiritual power, is strong enough, you can manifest the things on your stars in reality. "

Wang Shui had seen similar statements in some information, but he had only thought of manifesting the "hollow extraordinary ball".

In fact, he can now summon some of the rings that make up the ball to increase his power.

For example, the ring turned into the "Gate of Truth" can enhance his alchemy just like the Gate of Truth.

"Looking at you, you seem to know what's going on. Yes, this bookstore contains all my knowledge."

"What about this [School Mountain] and the [Double Dragon Sword Sect] here?"

"Of course it was my fault. I saw that there were related civilizations in the Far East of this world, and I secretly participated in world editing in the early stages of world building.

I edited this sword sect just to cover up. In fact, only "Wuya Bookstore" and "Book Sword Mountain Rain Pavilion" belong to me here. When I leave, all the spirit swords will be recycled. You kid, don't think about becoming The sword master! "

"Ah? I'm your biological student, don't I have a spiritual sword?!"

"Get lost! Who is your biological child! I have the final say on my spiritual sword!"

As soon as Master Chen finished speaking, a black light shot up into the sky from the "Shu Jian Shan Yu Pavilion" next door, but then quietly broke through the sky.

"Ah! My spirit sword!"

Master Xiao Chen hurriedly stood up, but he could only watch the spiritual sword leave this world alone.
