Pretentious tyrant?
Screw you! You are the pretentious tyrant! Your whole family are pretentious tyrants!
Xu Que, who was running away after acting tough, heard the last notification from the system. He immediately resisted in his heart. The title "Pretentious Tyrant" was not even as good as "Pretentious Tyrant"!
But … since he could get a permanent 20% discount, Xu Que symbolically resisted for a few seconds, and then he didn't say anything else!
As for the sentence he said before he left, "This rain is born from the sky and dies on the earth. The process in between is life."
Actually, it was a classic quote from the main character of a novel. Otherwise, based on his culture, he would not be able to say such profound and zen words!
Everything was for the sake of acting tough. As for whether or not he could understand the meaning behind the words, Xu Que did not care at all. Anyway, he relied on experience to level up, not enlightenment!
Walking to the corner, Xu Que called out the system and entered the store interface.
As expected, the prices of many products had changed. They had dropped a lot and there were many new products.
The first thing that Xu Que saw was the academic category. This was a new section. There were all kinds of books, such as "The Analects of Confucius" and "The Hundred Thousand Whys".
But what made Xu Que's eyes light up was that there was a book called "The Complete Collection of Couplets".
This made him overjoyed!
"Couplets, hahaha! This time, I can go back and act tough again! System, exchange for a book called "The Complete Collection of Couplets"! "
Xu Que immediately bought the book and used it without hesitation!
There would be a couplet at the banquet later. Originally, Xu Que did not know anything about couplets. That was why he used the excuse of acting tough to avoid the awkwardness later. But now, he had confidence again!
Whoosh!
As the "The Complete Collection of Couplets" disappeared from the system inventory, it turned into a ray of light and entered Xu Que's mind. His knowledge was once again expanded!
Including the "300 Poems of the Tang Dynasty", the "Complete Collection of Couplets" not only gave you so many poems and couplets, but the core of it was to use this prop as a medium to give Xu Que the ability to compose poems and couplets.
Besides, in his previous life, Xu Que had recited many poems from the Tang and Song dynasties. Therefore, it was not strange that Xin Qiji's poem suddenly popped up. Someday, he would bring out Taizu's domineering "Only Know How to Shoot Eagles with a Bow" to shock these lowly cultivators.
Since he had redeemed the Complete Collection of Couplets, Xu Que slowly digested the knowledge of couplets in his mind. The corner of his mouth curled up. He was not in a hurry to go back, so he continued to stand in the corner and look at the other categories in the system store.
In addition to the academic category, there were many more items added to the original categories in the mall.
For example, there were many strange books, such as The Old Man Pushing Cart Style of Dual Cultivation, The Nine Heavens of Ice, Fire, and Flames …
Xu Que, who had always thought of himself as a pure and innocent person, was frightened to death. He silently noted down the prices of a few books and started to look at the other categories.
However, when he opened the food category, he was stunned!
There were some new products in the food category, but the prices were extremely high. In fact, it was so high that it was unreasonable!
Xu Que was enraged, "System, explain this to me. Why is it that the stinky tofu and instant noodles were only sold for 1 act tough point? Why are these new products of yours selling for 100 act tough points? Why don't you just rob a bank? "
"The system's pricing for products is absolutely fair and transparent!" The system replied plainly.
"Fair and transparent? Fuck me, you're learning to act tough from me? "
Xu Que was exasperated as he asked, "Then tell me, why is a pack of cigarettes selling for 100 act tough points and a bottle of beer costing 100 act tough points?"
"Ding! Smoking is harmful to your health!"
"What?" Xu Que was stumped, "What about beer?"
"Ding! Drinking alcohol can easily cause trouble!"
"..."
Xu Que was speechless. The system's reasoning was reasonable and he couldn't refute it at all.
But it's fine if smoking is harmful to your health, but drinking alcohol can easily cause trouble? What kind of bullsh * t is that? Do you think drinking alcohol can ruin my plan to act tough?
Damn it, you're obviously trying to scam me because I'm rich now. Hmph, isn't it just 100 act tough points? I have plenty of it. If you don't want me to buy it, I'll buy it!
The more Xu Que thought about it, the angrier he got. Finally, he waved his hands and bought a pack of cigarettes!
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for purchasing a pack of cigarettes. The cost is 100 act tough points! Do you need a lighter? After the 20% discount, it will only cost 20 act tough points! "
"Fuck! You're an unscrupulous system! "
Xu Que cursed as he flicked his sleeves and left.
A lighter? I don't need a lighter. I'm a cultivator and can easily create a flame!
...
...
After Xu Que left, the hall of the pavilion fell into a dead silence.
Everyone was deep in thought about what Xu Que had said before he left. Their hearts were filled with shock.
"Who would've thought that just a single rain would allow brother Li to comprehend the heavens and earth and speak such profound words." Tang Liu Feng exclaimed as he mumbled to himself.
Another student sighed, "Looks like we've wronged brother Li. Although he looks unrestrained and unrestrained, that's his true nature! In actual fact, he's a talented man. "
"Others laugh at me for being crazy. I laugh at them for not being able to see through me. These words are indeed a reflection of his life. Before this, I didn't understand him. But now, I think I do! "
"That's right. Although he's an arrogant man, the ten poems he recited are truly unparalleled! Even if we don't like his character, we have to acknowledge his talents. "
"That poem, 'The life of the rain is a matter of life and death', has helped me gain a lot. If I meditate behind closed doors for a few more days, I should be able to break through my bottleneck. Brother Li is truly talented!"
More and more students opened their mouths to speak out. They were all standing on the side of fairness and acknowledged Xu Que's talents.
Those ten poems had won over many students. Nobody dared to say that those ten poems weren't good. Nobody!
Even Mo Yun Shang's face was filled with shock as he sat where he was. Even though his heart was filled with disbelief and unwillingness, he couldn't say a single word to defend himself.
He couldn't find a single flaw in those ten poems. In other words, he had lost the duel just now. In fact, he had lost terribly!
Lady Ya was shaken to the core as well. She was completely stunned. She had never seen such a talented man before. His literary skills were extraordinary and he had an untamed and untamed personality. He was simply … mesmerizing!
On top of that, Lady Ya's unique physique made it impossible for her to resist the talents of scholars and poets. At this point, her face was flushed red and her heart melted. Looking at the empty entrance of the courtyard, her heart was filled with an indescribable feeling.
As for Xu Que's carefree, serious, impassioned, and joyful manner, the image of him reciting the poem was vivid in her mind. She was unable to forget it for a long time.
However, the only person who maintained his composure the entire time was the leader of the four great students from Bright Saints College, young master Zhao.
