Chapter 418 Everyone's having fish tonight
"Finally found it, these are the fragments."
"Oh, here, here, this is the explanation of that section."
"And here is the sequel to that article."
As Master Zhou turned the pages of his book, he muttered to himself. His demeanor made the little fellow outside the door afraid to speak, lest he interrupt the Master's train of thought.
Then, Wen Chengmo quietly winked at his companions behind him, "Shh!" He put his finger to his lips to remind everyone to be quiet.
Finally, the child didn't pick and choose a place, and sat down anywhere on the ground. He turned around and gestured to his friend behind him, telling him to sit on the ground and wait for the teacher to summon him.
Just like a relay race, one person passed it on to the next. Finally, it reached Zhou Ruirui. After the little girl sat down, she took Wenwen's hand and gestured for Wenwen to sit down with her and wait quietly.
Wenwen...
Uh, these kids aren't just going to sit here like idiots, are they?
What is this if not a waste of time? Who knows how long we'll have to wait? Besides, if the teacher is busy, we can go have some fun first and come back to ask him questions later. Why do we have to wait? That would be too foolish.
Seeing that the little ones were all sitting quietly, Wenwen decided to slip away unnoticed.
In fact, how could Master Zhou not know about what was happening outside? He just wanted to test the children's patience. He hadn't had time to pay attention until the opportunity came, so he decided to test them while he was at it!
Unexpectedly, Wenwen wanted to run away as soon as the test began.
Just as Wenwen was about to get up, she heard the Master's voice transmission, "Wen'er, what are your thoughts on this artifact spirit?"
Weapon spirit?
Could it really be this thing? Wenwen couldn't believe it.
As for her knowledge of artifact spirits, it all came from novels and TV dramas in her previous life. Those were all fabricated by people and could not stand scrutiny. They contained some fabricated elements and could not be called knowledge at all, so where did she get any insights?
Moreover, these knives were obtained as a reward from the spatial system; a whole box of them were given out at once, and they were all the same color and style, with no difference whatsoever.
To say that every knife contains a spirit is just too creepy. Even if she has the protagonist's halo, a box of knives, a box of spirits? That's impossible, absolutely impossible. She doesn't believe she has that kind of fate!
The protagonist's aura doesn't need to be too bright!
Wenwen forced herself to answer, "Master, my understanding of artifact spirits is practically zero."
"Ah."
The Master smiled and continued, "Approximately equal to zero doesn't necessarily mean it's zero. Just say whatever you know."
Wenwen pondered for a few moments before speaking, "Master, as far as I know, most weapons with souls are swords, meaning that weapon spirits generally reside on swords. Weapon spirits hidden in knives are rare, let alone a fruit knife. It's a bit hard to believe that such a small fruit knife could have such a spirit."
"And another thing, those fancy flying swords and luxurious daggers all have gemstones or jade inlaid on their surfaces, or have an exquisite scabbard. That way, the spirits of those weapons have a place to reside. You've seen and used this broken fruit knife of ours. What does it have? Just a broken plastic shell and a thin blade. You're telling me that there are spirits hidden inside? Aren't we just fooling ourselves?"
"But."
The Master said quietly, "Didn't you see it all with your own eyes? You were with them the whole time, weren't you?"
"Uh!" Wenwen choked.
Yes, she saw it with her own eyes; it all happened right under her nose, and she couldn't defend herself.
In fact, with her cultivation level, she had also seen the strange shadows that the children saw, but she just couldn't believe it for a moment.
"Among the books I bought in Xingyu City this time, I found some scattered words about artifact spirits. Although there weren't many, they were of some reference value."
The Master paced slowly in the room. He opened a book and read aloud softly, "Weapons with spirits can defend themselves autonomously, and can even attack enemies quickly simply by understanding their master's will. As the master's cultivation increases and breaks through realms, the weapon can also evolve along with the master's pace. Some powerful spirits can even use their own power to support and urge their master to cultivate."
"Wen'er, you know what to do about this last part, right?"
"Huh? Oh." Wenwen didn't want to understand, but what could she do? She might not seem very bright, but she was actually quite clever!
"Since you understand, let's take them to the river for hands-on practice."
Master Zhou laughed and said, "Let's try to hurry up, everyone will eat fish tonight."
Finally, the Master rambled on and on about various things, and specifically instructed that these things should not be revealed casually, but rather that everyone should discover them on their own, so that the spirits cultivated would better suit their own personalities and temperaments.
Wenwen...
Oh dear, she's really taken on a huge workload! She just wanted to sneak in a bite to eat some grilled fish, but she ended up having to cook grilled fish for the whole family. Ugh, so tiring!
No, the kids' group is only one group, they're not fast enough. Since it's a group fish-eating event, the girls' group and the older brothers can't be left out. Let's all give it a try, no one should be lazy. If they can all summon the spirits, they'll hit the jackpot.
Let the cheat code come even more fiercely!
If you can catch it, you'll be incredibly rich!
If she can't handle it, she'll just have to hold on to the end. The spirit will come out sooner or later; she has great confidence in the things produced by the space.
After thinking it through, Wenwen immediately stood up and hurriedly ordered, "Get up, get up, don't wait any longer. The teacher has arranged a new task for us. Go to the river to kill fish."
"Fifth Brother, take your squad, destination: riverbank, run!"
After saying that, she turned and ran away; she had to find her older sister and brothers.
You might think she would rush to find someone, but you'd be sorely mistaken.
Wenwen ran to a prominent spot in the middle of the square in front of the bamboo courtyard, took a deep breath, stood with her feet apart, hands on her hips, and shouted loudly, "Big sister! Big brother! Quick, gather some people and help!"
"Come help me!"
"Come help me!"
"Help me!"
"So busy—"
"Hey--"
The sound was so powerful that it made the birds in the trees within a hundred miles take flight, let alone the young men of Wencheng Sword who were fighting and wielding weapons in the training ground on the back mountain.
The Wenxia girls' group, who were originally heading back from Guoshan to Zhuyuan, were so frightened by the noise that they hurriedly rushed to Zhuyuan.
After a while.
"Hoo-hoo-little sister, what's wrong?" the older girls in the group asked with concern.
"Hey, I'm here, I'm here, little sister, your big brother's here, what's up?"
"Second brother is here too. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Suddenly, a large crowd gathered in the square.
"Brothers and sisters, let's go to the riverbank and talk as we walk."
So, along the way, Wenwen explained the whole story of the fish-killing production line to everyone, including the whole fish feast that the teacher had told them about that night.
Her words implied that only a small knife could be used to gut the fish. As for why, she remained tight-lipped, only saying casually at the end, "Use the knife more often, don't be afraid of cutting your hand. A little cut and a little blood is nothing."
As for why the matter of the spirit of the artifact is not revealed, it was at the request of the Master.
