"Take this banknote. Go buy whatever you need!"
After returning to the villa, Sun Mo took out a silver note and passed it to Dong He.
"Don't worry Master, I will definitely arrange everything."
Dong He's actions were natural and unrestrained. In the future, she would be a maid cum butler. She had to take good care of her master's daily needs.
"I didn't ask you to arrange everything. Just take good care of you!"
Even if Sun Mo had money, he had never thought of asking someone to serve him. It was pretty good to be alone.
Dong He smiled. She mustn't go against the clan head verbally, but she could do it with her actions. This was what her mother had taught her.
Master is always right!
Dong He was preparing to keep the banknotes, but when she casually glanced at them, she was frightened.
"One … one thousand taels?"
Dong He stuttered. This wasn't a small sum of money. Seems like her master's food and clothes were better than what she had imagined. She had to ask clearly. If not, if she bought something of a lower grade, she would surely be despised.
"Master, may I ask, what do you usually eat?"
"Let's go to the cafeteria!"
As Sun Mo spoke with Gu Xiuxun, he felt that Dong He was a little annoying. "You don't have to cook for me. I usually eat at the canteen or Ziqi will bring food over."
"What about the clothes? Which shop do you like? "
Dong He asked.
The clothes worn by the nobles were all custom-made and had specific tailors.
"The school will give out the winter and summer seasons!"
Speaking of clothes, Sun Mo felt a little helpless. The clothes of this era didn't have any special characteristics and were too conservative. Even prostitutes wouldn't expose their thighs.
Stockings and high heels?
Hehe, everything is possible in a dream!
"Uh, then how do we spend the money?"
Dong He had a dumbfounded look on her face.
"This is for you!"
Sun Mo warned, "Your activity range is limited to the first floor. Without my permission, you are not allowed to go to the second floor."
"Ah?"
Dong He was dumbfounded. (For me?) Was there a need to be so extravagant?
"Do you understand?"
Sun Mo frowned.
"Understood, Master!"
Dong He hurriedly bowed and agreed, but the shock in her heart wasn't over yet. (A thousand taels of silver for me to spend?) Isn't this too exaggerated? Even the young master of Old Master Zheng's family didn't have so much pocket money.
"Teacher, who is she?"
Li Ziqi came down from upstairs and felt a little astonished when she saw Dong He.
"A gift from Prime Minister Zheng!"
Sun Mo decided to give this girl her freedom after a period of time.
Given Zheng Qingfang's status, even if Dong He took out the contract to sell herself, she wouldn't dare to run away. Hence, there was no need to worry that she would steal the money in the villa and run away.
"Grandpa Zheng, why did you send a maid? I can do anything! "
Li Ziqi pouted. (Hmph, a man and a woman together. Who knows what Teacher would do?)
No, the teacher was a gentleman. He definitely wouldn't do anything. But would this woman seduce the teacher? After all, her teacher was so handsome and talented!
Dong He felt goosebumps from Li Ziqi's stare, but she didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction. She hurriedly bowed.
To be able to address Old Master Zheng as' Grandpa ', this girl's background was definitely not simple.
"This is Li Ziqi, my personal disciple. In the future, you have to listen to her words."
Sun Mo suddenly recalled that Li Ziqi was also a noble lady. Putting aside the fact that she didn't even have a maid to order around, it was truly a grievance for her to serve him tea.
"Teacher Sun, I actually didn't know that you are a famous artist."
Gu Xiuxun surveyed Sun Mo. "When are you free? Can you help me draw a painting?"
"Alright!"
Sun Mo nodded. Gu Xiuxun's figure was very fit and beautiful. This was especially so for her perky butt. She was very suitable to be a model.
"That famous painting earlier was really amazing. It's a pity that I won't be able to see it in the future."
Gu Xiuxun sighed. If it was Sun Mo's collection, she could still lend it to him. But now that it was in Zheng Qingfang's hands, given her status, she wouldn't be able to see it.
"Famous painting?"
Li Ziqi's ears trembled. She took the opportunity to hug Sun Mo's arm. "Teacher, you couldn't have been drawing earlier, right?"
"It's even a famous painting?"
Gu Xiuxun clicked her tongue in wonder. "Sun Mo, is there anything you don't know?"
"Giving birth!"
Sun Mo finished speaking.
The three women started. After that, they burst out laughing.
After laughing, Li Ziqi frowned. "Grandpa Zheng took that famous painting away?"
After receiving an affirmative reply, Li Ziqi walked out. (I have to take a look at my teacher's famous painting no matter what.)
(Damn, I'm actually not the first to see it. Also, I wasn't present at the scene. How can this do?)
At the thought of this, the little sunny egg felt very disappointed. She hoped to be able to witness every moment of her teacher's glory!
...
Gu Xiuxun came here this time around because she wanted to communicate with Sun Mo and form a mutual aid group.
"Let's see how Fan Yao's standard is first. If it's too bad, we'll just make him a figurehead and do it ourselves!"
The masochist's goal was very high. She wanted to become the champion in this newbie competition.
Sun Mo agreed. He was someone who wanted to be strong. Even if he didn't become the champion, he wanted to at least be in the top three.
After sending Gu Xiuxun off, Sun Mo entered the Wind King Hall. He found the papaya girl and started to open the treasure chests.
The silver treasure chest that Ma Sui contributed was opened, leaving behind a book that was shrouded in golden light.
Ding!
"Congratulations, you've obtained the Encyclopedia of Basic Knowledge of the Study of Spirit Runes. Proficiency index: expert-grade!"
"..."
Sun Mo wanted to curse. "Why didn't you give it to me earlier?"
During this period, Sun Mo woke up early and slept late, taking out quite a lot of time to learn the study of spirit runes. He had just finished reading the basics when he opened this encyclopedia.
"You can choose not to learn it!"
The system directly retorted with regards to such complaints.
"Only a fool wouldn't want to learn it!"
Sun Mo's lips twitched. The knowledge he learned on his own would be forgotten with time. However, he discovered that the knowledge given to him by the system could be remembered for a very long time.
"Quickly learn it for me!"
Sun Mo urged.
The book shattered into flowing light and gushed into Sun Mo's mind. The vast amount of information was branded into his mind.
Ding!
"Congratulations, you've grasped the basic knowledge of the study of spirit runes. Proficiency index: expert-grade!"
Sun Mo's head hurt a lot. He sat down and started to memorize this knowledge. After that, he discovered a problem.
"System, why is there so much basic knowledge?"
The Central Province Academy was once one of the Nine Greats and had a foundation. For example, the books in the Great Library were very comprehensive.
The study of spirit runes had long since been categorized. Grandmasters who specialized in the study of spirit runes in the past had written out a systematic learning plan.
The teachers now just had to follow the plan and teach the students in an orderly manner!
However, Sun Mo discovered that the Encyclopedia of Basic Knowledge given by the system was too comprehensive. It was ten times more than the basic syllabus commonly used in the Central Province Academy. Moreover, some of the contents were considered middle-grade knowledge by the school's standards.
For example, in the system's categorization, calculus was considered middle-school knowledge.
"Is there a mistake?"
Sun Mo doubted.
"Please take note, the system will definitely not make a mistake."
The system reiterated!
"The aboriginals of the Nine Provinces have too little understanding of the study of spirit runes. The syllabus of knowledge they listed is one-sided!"
When Sun Mo was learning, he would occasionally have some doubts, but he couldn't find an answer. But now, the basic knowledge in his mind was sufficient to answer all his questions.
It was like a mathematical theorem. If you only learned ten of them, there would naturally be some questions that you couldn't answer. But if you learned twenty of them, not only would you be able to answer them, but there would also be more ways to solve them.
As he revised this knowledge, Sun Mo discovered that a small portion of it wasn't available in the books in the Great Library. He didn't know if the Central Province Academy didn't have this knowledge or if the other schools didn't have it.
If they didn't have it, then the value of this Encyclopedia of Basic Knowledge would be inestimable.
"I really want to get my hands on the middle-grade and high-grade spirit runes as well!"
Sun Mo sighed. This feeling was as though a fishbone was stuck in his throat. It felt very uncomfortable.
Swish!
The system seemed to have become a caring elder sister again. The shelves opened up, and a dazzling collection of books could be seen on them.
[Basic Introduction to Alchemy]
[Special Uses of 1,000 Types of Medicinal Materials]
[Decryption of Rare Weaponsmithing Materials]
[Mid-grade Spirit Rune Knowledge Summary]
...
Sun Mo glanced through ten lines with a single glance. After that, he couldn't stop his saliva from drooling. He really wanted every single one of them! However, when he saw the price, he was stunned.
Each of them cost 20,000 to 30,000 favorable impression points. The cheapest one cost at least 10,000 points.
"Knowledge is priceless. Moreover, after you obtain these books, they will immediately be converted into your knowledge."
The system explained.
Sun Mo nodded. That was true. Even if they were at the elementary-grade, they would bring him a lot of improvements.
"Seems like I have to work hard to earn favorable impression points!"
To Sun Mo, the value of great teacher halos was the highest. Hence, he decided to temporarily postpone buying these books. He would first accumulate 50,000 points and buy that Complete Focus.
Ding!
"Congratulations, because your prestige connection with Zheng Qingfang has risen, you are rewarded with 1x silver treasure chest. Please continue to work hard!
"Congratulations, because you have obtained Dong He's respect and admiration, your prestige connection has risen, you are rewarded with 1x black-iron treasure chest!"
Sun Mo patted Lu Zhiruo's head and instructed the system, "Open it!"
The black-iron treasure chest opened, and a ball of bronze-colored light appeared.
Hu ~
Sun Mo whistled. It was a time emblem!
The second treasure chest gave him a lover protection potion. Given the quality of a silver-colored potion, it was a little disadvantageous. However, one had to be content with what they had.
Sun Mo hesitated a little. He didn't use the time emblem to increase the proficiency level of the Wind King Divine Steps. Instead, he saved it for emergencies.
After that, he took inventory of his items. There was still a purple mysterious treasure chest that he hadn't opened, as well as over 100 lucky treasure chests.
"I'll open 10 first to calm my nerves!"
After that, Sun Mo obtained nine piles of dark soil and a small bag of dark fertilizer.
"F * ck your mom!"
Sun Mo felt depressed. As expected, without Lucky Emperor Lu, he wouldn't be able to open anything.
Time passed by in the blink of an eye.
November 26th, 9 in the morning.
The representative group from the Central Province Academy was about to set off.
The school didn't stop classes, and there was no send-off ceremony either. This was An Xinhui's request. She didn't want to waste the students' time because of such matters.
In the past, the Central Province Academy's tradition was to wear school uniforms. But this time around, the representative group was wearing orange-yellow cultivation clothes and black wolf-skin boots. In addition, the style of these clothes was very strange. Hence, everyone was discussing it.
"I heard that this uniform was designed by Teacher Sun?"
"It looks so strange, but it's quite easy to wear. It's also convenient to move around."
"The two words' Central Province 'on the left chest are so domineering. But isn't it a little arrogant?"
The students mumbled. Usually speaking, only famous schools that had the qualifications to represent a province would be able to embroider the name of the province on their clothes.
In the past, the Central Province Academy would definitely have the qualifications. But now...
Once they couldn't obtain good results, it would be very embarrassing to do this.
"If you don't even have this little bit of confidence, you can leave the group now!"
When Ying Baiwu heard this, she was unhappy and directly retorted. Someone actually dared to doubt her teacher's design? Absolutely not!
