Chapter 606 The World of High Martial Arts (5)
Thinking about the pitiful points on his teacher's card, he knew he would never have the chance to read all the books in the library in his lifetime.
When she woke up, Wangyou felt refreshed and invigorated, and then she felt as if she had made another breakthrough.
She's already at the peak of Martial Venerable, just one step away from entering a new realm. Wangyou doesn't plan to break through any further for now; she'll wait until she turns eighteen.
As expected, Wangyou got a perfect score in the final exam and won first place, earning a full scholarship.
The next step was to visit various battlefields for observation, which was a rare opportunity.
Of course, not everyone can go; only those who rank in the top 100 can participate. Out of thousands of students in a grade, perhaps only a hundred can go.
Wangyou, Huang Youran, and Tina teamed up to follow the warriors who were expanding their territory and collect supplies. They even came into contact with storage devices that the warriors couldn't access in their daily lives.
This was the first time they had seen the corpses of alien beasts, and the first time they had witnessed the cruelty of war. Although they were protected by some of the warriors, it did not mean that they were completely safe.
"Come on, come on, there's a patch of Spirit-Returning Flowers over there, why isn't anyone picking them?" Wangyou pulled Huang Youran and Tina toward the place full of small white flowers.
"This is a Spirit Returning Flower. Aren't Spirit Returning Flowers yellow?"
"The fully mature ones are white, and the white ones are more potent than the yellow ones. I saw them on the last few shelves of the bookshelf," Wangyou explained, and quickly started digging.
"Are you sure this is a Spirit-Returning Flower?" several soldiers asked in disbelief.
"I'm sure I saw it on the last few floors of the school library."
"Let me test it." The young soldier took out a special instrument for testing spiritual flowers and herbs. After the test, his face looked rather grim. How much had they missed over the years?
After the test, the soldiers no longer thought the girls were fooling around, and quickly squatted down to pick the fruit.
"You Ran, Tina, hurry up and pick them. Maybe we can use them to exchange for something later."
"Hmm." The pampered young lady completely disregarded her image as she dug up the Spirit Returning Flower.
The Spirit Returning Flowers sold on the market are yellow, but extremely rare. Moreover, the appearance of the yellow Spirit Returning Flower is completely different from its white form, which makes the Spirit Returning Flower valuable but unavailable.
Wangyou also found it strange. Luckily, she had finished reading the book, otherwise she would have missed out on this incredible fortune. Who would have thought that the introduction to the Spirit Flower was placed at the very beginning and at the very end?
Everyone knows that the later books are more precious, but you can't read the later ones until you've finished reading the earlier ones, even if a martial arts master comes. Wangyou wondered if their school's library was really built by human hands.
The warriors cleared out the monsters in front, while the others followed to collect supplies. Wangyou felt that there were usable things everywhere on the ground, many of which had been trampled and broken.
You Ran and Tina felt a pang of heartache watching this. They had read quite a few books and naturally knew a lot about plants and herbs. They were digging up herbs without any regard for their young lady image.
The soldiers following behind the three were exhausted. According to them, each of the weeds on the ground had its own use, but they had never recognized them before.
Are the three of you really first-year high school students?
"It's the real deal, we just read a lot more books," Wangyou said modestly.
"If only we hadn't been so lazy back in school." What the soldiers didn't say was that they should have studied more, even if it meant earning more points. Now they didn't even have the chance.
"Which class are these three students in?" an elderly man who was secretly observing asked.
"They are students in Class 9 of the first year of St. Mary's High School."
"High school freshmen are actually going to the library to study. Judging from their appearance, they didn't just casually read a few books, but memorized them word by word. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to remember them so clearly. Mark them down and pay special attention to them. Some of them may have awakened their martial arts power ahead of time."
"Yes."
Wangyou could sense that someone was in the shadows, but since this was a kind of observation and learning, there was definitely someone watching from the shadows, so she didn't take it to heart.
The group happily collected supplies, and one of the young soldiers took photos to record the information and send them to his superior, hoping that other teams wouldn't miss out on the good stuff. Good stuff is something everyone needs.
The observation lasted for three days before they had to return, as they would encounter even more dangerous beasts ahead, and their safety might not be taken care of then.
Wangyou was somewhat reluctant to leave, contemplating whether to reveal that she had awakened the power of a martial artist. This battlefield was much more interesting than watching those brainless thieves who seized power and defied authority at school.
But Wangyou only thought about it for a moment. She heard that people who turn eighteen every year receive a special benefit when they awaken. As for what it is, no one knows except the person involved, but Wangyou didn't want to miss it.
The various rare and exotic herbs that Wangyou and her companions brought out earned them a considerable amount of points from the official sources. These points included not only those earned from picking plants but also those earned from discovering undiscovered plants.
The three of them essentially got the points early; otherwise, they wouldn't have received them until the start of their second year of high school.
Wangyou has 13,200 points, which is more than many veteran warriors.
Tina has 3,300 points, and Huang Youran has 3,800 points.
Although they can't compare to Wangyou, it's because they haven't read as many books as Wangyou.
"I'm going to live in the library this summer," Huang Youran said resolutely, clenching her fist.
"Then you might be disappointed. We're not first-year high school students anymore. We'll be second-year high school students when school starts, so the library probably won't be open to us for free anymore," Wangyou said, expressing her guess.
How will you know it won't work if you don't try?
When the group returned to school, they went to the library and asked around. They learned that in the future, they would have to use points to redeem books in the library. Moreover, the library's books had been cleaned, which meant that even if they used their points to enter, the books they saw might be ones they had already read.
Furthermore, the points system charges are based on age: 1 point per hour for 16-year-olds, 10 points per hour for 17-year-olds, and 100 points per hour for 18-year-olds.
This method of collecting points is unreasonable, but the rules weren't set by humans, and there's nowhere to reason with or complain.
Are you two still going in to take a look?
"I'll go home first and come back when I've thought it over," Huang Youran said after a moment's thought.
“Points are hard to earn, and who knows if we’ll have another chance to go out? I want to go back and discuss it with my parents,” Tina said seriously.
“Well, that’s good. I plan to go back and copy down the contents of the books I’ve read before, just to reinforce my knowledge,” Wangyou added.
"Why copy? Can't you type it out?"
"No, this can only be copied by hand. You two can try it too. Maybe we can make a fortune with these books in the future."
“That makes sense, but my handwriting isn’t very good. I’ll have to practice it when I get back,” Tina said with a smile.
