Chapter 609 The World of High Martial Arts (8)
"Dad, I want to eat pork ribs, and I want them to be sour and spicy."
"Okay, Dad got it. I'll go buy groceries now."
The nanny was temporarily laid off, so the couple happily went grocery shopping together.
That evening, Wangyou finally got to eat the dinner she had been longing for.
"Dad, your skills haven't diminished at all over the years."
"Of course, eat more if you like."
"Sigh, when will I be able to inherit your amazing cooking skills, Dad?!"
Upon hearing this, the Ouyang couple fell silent. After a long while, Ouyang Shaofeng said, "Daughter, you are the person with the highest martial arts skills in our Great Xia. How can you cook? Listen to me, a master should have style. You can't do such down-to-earth things."
"Father, does the Martial King need to be down-to-earth?"
"No, that won't do. Dad is doing this to celebrate for you. You never knew I had time to cook before."
"Alright then." Wangyou buried her head in her food and continued eating. She knew her cooking was terrible, so there was no need to persuade her like that.
From that day on, Wangyou became busy and rarely went to school anymore, because it wouldn't be of much use; she needed to rely more on practical experience outside the school.
The completeness of the herbal medicine collection ensured that the soldiers on their expeditions never missed anything good, and it also significantly boosted the overall strength of the army.
Wangyou also developed new hobbies: alchemy and weapon crafting. When she had materials, she would fill her furnace with them and craft them; when she didn't have materials, she would use less.
While refining pills, I discovered something else: the highest-grade pills here were actually only level three pills; most of them were potions, which were half as effective as pills.
Although Wangyou has memorized the complete alchemy method, it will still take a considerable amount of time to learn it.
There's nothing that can be done about this "Forget-Worry" person. After all, she doesn't know how to teach, because she has absolutely no experience to share. If you insist on having her impart knowledge, it can only be based on intuition.
She did want to compile a systematic summary of the information, but she soon discovered that this approach wouldn't work, because as soon as she finished assembling it, it would disappear without a trace.
But no one had entered or left her room, and the book seemed to have vanished into thin air.
Wangyou simply gave up. It wasn't until much later, when she was strolling through the library, that she unexpectedly found the alchemy manual she had compiled on the bookshelf, which was placed in the middle shelf.
After Wangyou left, she told the others about it and gave orders to a few clever novice martial artists, telling them to study hard and try to memorize the alchemy manual, in order to get reimbursed for their points.
Having gained immense benefits from the awakening ceremony, Wangyou persuaded those above her to not bring back anyone who prematurely awakened martial arts power, but instead to lock up their released martial arts energy and let it grow freely.
After studying it for a long time, Wangyou discovered that although the rules were strict, they were not without loopholes.
Wangyou decides to implement a grand plan: to create dreams.
Using her Martial Saint powers, combined with the golden substance she obtained during the awakening ceremony, she created a dream for all the teenagers of the Great Xia Dynasty. In the dream, they were told that they must read as many books as possible in the library before the end of their first year of high school, and ideally memorize them all. If they could read them all, the next Martial Saint could very well be them.
After working almost like a brainwasher for most of the night, Wangyou felt her forehead throbbing and fell asleep immediately.
A few days after waking up, many people found that their children had suddenly taken to memorizing texts. When asked, they said they had a dream, but they couldn't tell the content of the dream and could only bury themselves in memorizing texts.
As the martial arts cultivation of Forget-Worry increased, she was able to see more and more rules. She then discovered that there was actually a very strong power of rules in the library. It was these power of rules that made it possible to copy the books here even if one could memorize them, and one could not even write down the key contents.
Wangyou didn't understand why this was happening. Did they want to use the alien beasts to completely wipe out humanity? But that didn't seem to make much sense.
Forget-Me-Not would stop thinking about things she couldn't understand. She spent ten years in the library, thoroughly understanding all the rules there, and then set about modifying them.
The library books can be borrowed and copied, but only by citizens of the country.
If others use special means to borrow the book, they will not be able to see a single word and will be blacklisted by the library.
Don't underestimate this small change; it has made Xia Kingdom's resources much more abundant and diverse.
With military and technological development progressing in tandem, the Xia Kingdom quickly surpassed all other nations. As for what other countries thought or what they wanted to do, that was no longer a matter for the Xia Kingdom to concern itself with, but rather a matter for the nation to manage.
Feeling that the world no longer needed her, Wangyou packed her things, made up a story that she was about to shatter the void, and left.
Back in the space, Wangyou felt a bit of a headache. She checked her soul and found nothing wrong. She figured she hadn't rested well, so she gave herself a break.
Wangyou woke up after sleeping for an unknown amount of time and saw the letter left by Duobao and Jin Jinli. The two described in detail what they had done in the small world, which made Wangyou a little envious.
They target those cannon fodder or supporting characters who are treated unfairly in the small world, and use their way of defying fate to fulfill these people's wishes and gain merit.
That's a good idea, but apart from reincarnation, Wangyou doesn't have any other bodies that are suitable for her. This path won't work for her, so she should just choose a different world to play in.
She glanced at the drab Pangu statue, and realized that Wangyou had taken half of the merit. She wondered if her brother had eliminated her half of the troublesome love.
Having done all this, Wangyou entered the small world again.
……
China, Yunnan Province, Taoist temple.
"Wangyou, it's time for you to come down the mountain. Don't stay cooped up here all the time. It's not suitable for young ladies like you," an old man with a sage-like demeanor earnestly advised the girl at the table who was biting into a chicken leg.
"Old man, do you really not need me to stay with you?"
"No need, this old man can handle it all by himself. You should hurry down the mountain and call your brothers if anything happens, otherwise you'll develop some kind of depression if you stay any longer," the old man said matter-of-factly.
"I understand. I'll leave after I finish eating."
"Okay, by the way, once you get down the mountain, you can look for your biological parents, but don't let them bully you."
"I know, I'm not stupid, and besides, I never planned to acknowledge any relatives!"
After eating and drinking his fill, Wangyou carried a small cloth bag and went down the mountain.
Deep in the mountains and forests, a group of people dressed in black J-suits and another group dressed in camouflage were moving quickly through the jungle, while ahead of them was a group of vicious terrorists.
"I was too hasty. I should have gone out tomorrow. It's so remote in the mountains, and it will get dark soon. I'll have to find a place to stay, which is such a hassle." A girl, about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a Taoist robe, slowly moved forward while patting the branches in front of her.
