"Take One Hundred Million for Fun"
"There doesn't seem to be much change?"
Jiang Xiaobai looked at the dark gold scan icon, aimed at a book that had just been scanned, and clicked scan.
"Wudang Tai Chi."
"Type: Martial Arts Secret Book."
"Belonging: Unknown."
"Holder: Wang Wu."
"Rarity Degree: AA Level."
"Storage Status in Bookstore: Not Collected by the Bookstore. The host can obtain a hundredfold return by reading."
"Potential Attribute: There is a 4.3% error description in the version content. It can be repaired. After repair, the host can conduct self-study."
"Repair: Yes. 4.3 million is required to consume."
"Repair: No."
The last two items were in a translucent state.
"Hey, it's really more advanced than before. It can even identify errors and repair them."
Jiang Xiaobai was delighted. Seeing that the required money was not a lot, he clicked repair. With a whoosh, a golden light flew out from the mobile phone and entered the book. This book rippled with circles of golden ripples. After lasting for three to four seconds, the ripples disappeared.
He picked it up conveniently and started flipping through it. The content of the book was not much and it was also quick to read. It was finished in less than ten minutes. The content of this Tai Chi mainly consisted of some basic skills and fundamental techniques. It wasn't a true martial arts secret book. Unfortunately, this required him to practice by himself, unlike the rewarded skills which could be mastered after clicking to use.
After carefully pondering, he felt that with his current martial arts foundation, if he practiced, he could become decent in a month. However, to reach the stage of complete mastery, it was impossible without several years.
This was the biggest difference between system rewards and self-study.
Putting down this book, he then scanned another one.
"Qingcheng Sleeve Universe"
"Type: Martial Arts Secret Book."
"Belonging: Guanyun Pavilion of Qingcheng Sect."
"Holder: Wang Wu."
"Rarity Degree: AA Level."
"Storage Status in Bookstore: Not Collected. The host can obtain a hundredfold return by reading."
"Potential Attribute: There is a 76% error description in the version content. It can be repaired. After repair, the host can conduct self-study."
"Repair: Yes. 76 million is required to consume."
"Repair: No."
...
"Can't be, there are so many error descriptions? The repair cost is over 70 million?"
Jiang Xiaobai was shocked by this value and decisively gave up the repair. 70 million was not a small number. How many books would he have to read to obtain so much return.
He then scanned some more books. The qualities of these books were all double-A and more or less had some correct content. He didn't repair any more and felt it was not very meaningful. Because even if he spent a huge price to repair them, there was no time to practice. Unless these books could be like the rewarded skills where one click would lead to complete mastery. Reading these books was just like expanding knowledge except for increasing the return.
Since he had a good understanding of this scanning function, it was time to start reading seriously...
Jiang Xiaobai put down his mobile phone, adjusted a lying position, and started reading gracefully.
As one book after another was read, he had a general understanding of all kinds of martial arts from various schools in the current world. Although he didn't truly master any one, his overall understanding of the word "martial arts" became deeper.
Meanwhile, the money in the personal center was also increasing rapidly... 10 million, 15 million, 20 million... 25 million...
He didn't know how long he had been reading until his stomach growled. He put down the book in his hand and looked at the time on his mobile phone. Oh my god, it was already six o'clock in the morning the next day. If he remembered correctly, he didn't have dinner yesterday afternoon.
Feeling not very tired yet, he decided to order takeout and continue reading.
One book after another was read again. After the takeout arrived, he ate the takeout and continued reading...
One hour, two hours...
Countless hours passed again... When he was hungry, he ordered takeout. After eating the takeout, he continued reading. When he was really too tired, he took a nap... After waking up, he continued. He was almost immersed in the ocean of books, the ocean of history, and the ocean of martial arts.
One day, two days, three days, four days, five days...
For a whole week, a full suitcase of books was finally finished.
During this period, he received two calls and a few WeChat messages from two people.
One call was from Wang Dong. He asked him two things. One was that the Securities Practitioner Qualification Examination they both signed up for was coming next week. How was the book reading going? The second was that the video of Jiang Xiaobai beating Ma Shengli and kicking Wang Wu went viral on the Internet. There were also many rumors that followed. The content of the rumors was that Jiang Xue abandoned her police boyfriend Jiang Xiaobai in order to return to her biological father Jiang Shulin. Wang Dong asked if it was true that he was in a relationship with Jiang Xue. Jiang Xiaobai replied with a yes. Wang Dong comforted him a few sentences and hung up the phone.
The other call was from Liu Guozhong. He said that his daughter watched his video and heard about his related deeds. She especially admired him. Her birthday was coming and he invited him to attend his daughter's birthday banquet next week.
There were two WeChat messages. One was from Bai Xue, which was a comforting (courting) text message sent because Jiang Xue "abandoned" him.
The other one was from Bai Jie. First, she expressed sympathy, then comforted him a few sentences, and then asked when he had time to give her acupuncture?
Actually, he wasn't sure in his heart. Jiang Xue had been away for so long without making a call or sending a WeChat message.
Was his intuition true? Was he "abandoned" by Jiang Xue?
...
"Beep!"
A message was sent from the Golden House. After clicking to open it, the cumulative reading exceeded 10 million words, obtaining the honorary title of "Handle with Ease" and a reward of 50 million.
"50 million?"
Jiang Xiaobai directly clicked to receive and 50 million arrived in the personal center. Clicking on the personal center showed that the available withdrawal amount was 478 million!
"One, two, three, four... Five, six, seven... Eight, nine? Nine-digit deposit..."
Jiang Xiaobai rubbed his eyes and counted again. There was no problem. It was indeed nine digits...
"Unexpectedly, I, Jiang Xiaobai, also have a moment when my net worth exceeds 100 million!"
After sighing, Jiang Xiaobai clicked on the mall. Two items appeared in the mall: Perspective Talisman (valid for ten minutes), Hundredfold Strength Pill (lasting for half an hour).
"What are these things?"
Jiang Xiaobai stared blankly. These two things gave people a strange feeling. He remembered that many male leads in YY novels would have such a magical special ability and then stand on the street to enjoy the scenery (beauties). Looking at the unit price, it was actually one million. This price was a bit fierce. It wasn't worth spending one million for ten minutes. After hesitation, his net worth was over 100 million. He didn't care about that one million small money, right? What if it was needed in the future?
So he clicked to purchase.
Then looking at that "Hundredfold Strength Pill", the unit price was also one million. He thought about what this thing was useful for? When fighting, martial arts skills and internal energy were used and there was no need for this hundredfold strength. If it wasn't used for fighting in other places, this thing only lasted for half an hour... The effect wasn't very great either.
"Buy it too. What if it's needed."
Jiang Xiaobai then clicked to purchase.
After purchasing, these two items appeared in the personal package column of the Golden House. It seemed that in the future, as long as needed, just open the personal package column and click to use. It was very simple.
"I've earned so much money. Should I squander a little to reward myself for the hard work of this week! Withdraw one hundred million first to have some fun?"
