This was the first time Ethan had devoured a jade piece! After all, a jade pendant was just a stone at the end of the day. But he never expected it to taste like this!
"I wonder if other jade pieces taste the same. I must find time to try them!" Ethan thought to himself.
He carefully examined his body and found that there seemed to be no special changes.
Previously, when he swallowed his mobile phone, the garbage in his body could produce stinky farts; when he swallowed the books he was familiar with, most of them could be digested, but if it was beyond his capacity, he would have diarrhea. But now, after eating this jade pendant, there was no reaction at all, which was somewhat unexpected to Ethan.
After a while.
"Oh my god! What's going on? This thing is actually in my stomach, and it's still a complete jade pendant! Except for the character 'Jin' which is gone, everything else is the same as before!" Ethan looked inside his body and, seeing this, didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
This jade pendant was originally a hard piece. When it was in his mouth, he felt and tasted nothing, as if he had eaten air. But after it reached his stomach, it regained this form again. This was really abnormal.
"Hmm?"
Then, Ethan saw an even more incredible scene.
The light dots scattered between heaven and earth actually represented the luck of every person, every item, and every matter. But now, these scattered luck, like rivers flowing into the sea, rushed towards his body.
To be precise, it was not towards his body, but towards the jade piece in his body! What was going on?
"So much luck?"
Looking at this luck, Ethan felt as if gold was falling from the sky.
"I'll take it!"
Ethan hurriedly and frantically activated his Devouring Heavenly Skill, wanting to absorb all this luck.
But, in the end, he couldn't keep it at all.
Most of this luck, just like the fate of this jade pendant in reality, mostly dissipated.
"What's going on? All in vain?" Ethan was extremely angry.
If he had known this would happen, he shouldn't have devoured this jade pendant. He might as well have sold it directly and could have bought some other useful things.
"Hmm? There's still some left!" Ethan, who was in the middle of being annoyed, carefully felt it again and found that his luck was much more than before he devoured this jade pendant.
"At least a little can be retained! Moreover, it seems that the speed at which I draw luck from heaven and earth has also increased a lot, as if it has increased more than ten times! This speed is simply astonishing!"
As this luck was absorbed.
Ethan carefully sensed and found that he already had two strands of luck on him.
Just by devouring a single jade pendant, the luck he obtained was equivalent to what he had accumulated over so many years. This feeling was simply wonderful.
Gurgle, gurgle!
At this moment, a growling sound came from his stomach. The sound was like the beating of a drum.
"Hungry! Hungry again! Haha... Eat! Eat right away! This time I'm going to eat myself into a top student!" Ethan said very arrogantly.
Then, he immediately rushed to the Three Flavors Bookstore.
"Boss, give me one set each of high - school math, physics, chemistry, Chinese, English!" Ethan said very generously.
Peter Fat, the owner of the Three Flavors Bookstore, was stunned.
Because Peter Fat often bought vegetables from Ethan's mother, he knew Ethan relatively well.
He knew that this guy's academic performance was not good. Although the bookstore was not far from Ethan's home, Ethan had never come here to buy books in all these years.
What was wrong with this guy these two days? Had he gone crazy?
"Are you planning to repeat a year?" Peter Fat asked Ethan.
He knew that Ethan was in senior three this year, and the college entrance examination was coming soon. It could be said that these things were no longer of much use.
The only explanation was that Ethan was going to repeat a year, bought these books, and was preparing to use them next year.
"Who's going to repeat a year? I'm going to be the top scorer in the college entrance examination!" Ethan said full of confidence.
Then, his tone changed, and he said to Peter Fat of the Three Flavors Bookstore, "How about it? Give a discount to the future top scorer in the college entrance examination? When I become the top scorer, you can use my title as the top scorer for advertising!"
"You? Become the top scorer in the college entrance examination? Hehe... This joke isn't funny at all! In this world, something like a sow climbing a tree might happen, but you becoming the top scorer in the college entrance examination will never happen!" Peter Fat mercilessly taunted.
"Don't underestimate people! I'm telling you, just because of what you said just now, if I become the top scorer in the college entrance examination in the future, Peter Fat, you are not allowed to use my name for publicity!" Ethan said.
"Cut! Who cares!" Peter Fat said disdainfully.
However, then he changed the topic.
"Aren't you in the same class as Sophia? If you can persuade Sophia to do advertising for me, I'll waive the cost of these books for you!" Peter Fat said with a sly smile.
In Sunny County, anyone who knew a little about the examinees knew Sophia and was full of confidence in her.
As the owner of the bookstore, Peter Fat naturally wanted to use her name for publicity, but he had tried many times without success.
"Don't have time!" Ethan refused without hesitation.
"If you don't have the ability, just say so. Don't beat around the bush and say you don't have time. Who are you kidding? It's not that I'm looking down on you. I guess although you've been in the same class with her all this time, you've never even said a word to her, right? That's right! She's a top student, and you're a poor student. How could you have anything to say? Moreover, I heard that she's about to participate in the Global Elite Training Camp for Famous Schools. By then, if she's really admitted in advance by these famous schools, you won't even have the chance to meet her in the future, right?"
Peter Fat said with a mean mouth.
"You talk too much nonsense! Hurry up and calculate. How much is it?" Ethan said impatiently.
Seeing that Ethan was angry, Peter Fat showed a victorious sly smile on his face.
"The original price of these is six hundred! You're lucky, kid. Coincidentally, the country is preparing for reform, and these textbooks will be different next year. This is also the last batch, so they are sold at a reduced price! You can take all of them for one hundred yuan!"
After paying, Ethan left.
When he reached the door.
"Peter Fat, now, while there are still many people who haven't bought my advertising rights, you still have a chance! If after the college entrance examination, I become the top scorer, by then, when many people come to me, don't blame me for not warning you!" Ethan said.
"Go, go, go... Are you really addicted to daydreaming? If you can be admitted as the top scorer in this life! I'll give you my ancestral illustrated version of 'The Plum in the Golden Vase'!" Peter Fat said harshly.
...
Ethan carried a large stack of books and returned home.
"Open the books!"
Ethan blew a breath.
Dust - cleaning Wind!
Whoosh!
A gust of wind appeared, and then, it felt like the whole book was fluttering, lighter than before.
Whoa!
"The power of this Dust - cleaning Wind has increased again!"
"If in the future, as my skills improve, will blowing a breath be able to blow off other people's clothes?
If I see a beautiful woman... and I accidentally blow a breath... that scene would be simply... hehe..."
Ethan chuckled a few times and then opened those textbooks.
"Let's start with you! High - school freshman math!"
"The taste is so - so.
It tastes about the same as a steamed bun."
Although he could eat it, it was still a bit difficult to eat it dry.
Two minutes later, an entire book was eaten.
Then, it was Chinese, English, physics, chemistry, and biology textbooks.
This time it took a bit longer.
It actually took a full hour.
"Although it was a bit difficult to eat, the digestion and absorption were not bad! A full 98% was absorbed! The effect is quite good!" Ethan said in surprise.
This so - called 98% digestion and absorption does not mean that one can only get 98 points in a 100 - point test, but that one can get at least 98 points in a 100 - point test.
"The content of sophomore year is even more difficult to eat!"
Ethan felt a bit of a toothache. Eating sophomore - year content felt like gnawing on a bone.
It was extremely difficult.
The sophomore - year content took a total of two hours.
95% was digested and absorbed.
This situation also made Ethan extremely satisfied.
Then, Ethan turned his eyes to the remaining small stack.
That was the content of senior three.
