Mentor Theory had spread widely in this world, so Lu Ping'an wasn't particularly surprised when he saw this fisherman village boy producing a hand-copied abridged book.

"...The Extraordinary World is even more despairing than the Dark Age of the Eastern Country; the weaker are destined to remain weak."

However, it was indeed changing many things.
