Chapter 23: Curiosity Kills
Chapter 23: Curiosity kills
"Don't ask what you shouldn't. Tong Hao said sharply.
"Thank you for understanding. Let's go. ”
Tong Hao and Liu Zifei followed Geng Wan'er to a study, "Let's study here! I'll go downstairs and get you some fruit." ”
"Brother Hao, what do you say their family does?
"Didn't you just tell you not to ask?"
"But I'm curious!"
"Curiosity kills people, don't you know?"
"Okay, I'll shut up. ”
When Geng Wan'er reappeared, she already had an extra fruit plate in her hand, "I've kept you waiting!"
"It's okay, let's get started. Tong Hao said.
"Ding!mission posted!Ask the host to read all the books on the shelves before lunch. The check-in system is activated when the task is completed. ”
As soon as Tong Hao entered the study, he noticed the bookshelves placed around the room, and there were many yellowed books on the shelves, which looked like ancient books.
"Wan'er, can I take a look at the books here?"
"Absolutely. These books have been here for a long time, and I don't understand them at all. ”
"Oh?" Tong Hao became even more curious about these books. Geng Wan'er couldn't understand it.
Tong Hao casually picked up a book on the bookshelf and flipped through it, "It's actually Chinese characters!"
"Brother Hao, what are you talking about?" Liu Zifei heard Tong Hao's words.
"Nothing, you two review first!"
Liu Zifei made an OK gesture at Tong Hao, thinking that Tong Hao was creating opportunities for him and Geng Wan'er.
The language used in this world and the world in which Tong Hao lives are two different languages. When he woke up, Tong Hao had the language system left over from Tong Hao in his previous life, otherwise he would not have been able to adapt to life here so quickly.
The text used in this world is a kind of writing similar to pinyin, but this kind of alphabet Tong Hao has never seen before.
Turning the first page, Tong Hao felt a little like an oracle bone inscription, Tong Hao couldn't understand it at all, so he simply skipped it. A dozen pages later, Chinese characters appeared on the tree that Tong Hao could barely recognize.
Tong Hao knows the law of the evolution of Chinese characters: oracle bone inscription - golden script - seal script - official script - regular script. If Tong Hao guessed correctly, these words should be official books. The subordinate change is a major reform in the history of the evolution of Chinese characters. The previous pictorial characters have gradually moved closer to the current simplified Chinese characters, and the Chinese characters have become more convenient to write.
Tong Hao read dozens of pages and found that these were some ancient myths and legends, some of which Tong Hao knew, and some Tong Hao had never heard of. Houyi shoots the sun, Kuafu chases the sun, Jingwei reclaims the sea, and Chang'e runs to the moon...... These well-known stories on the earth have been perfectly preserved in ancient books. Whether it's to complete a task or to gain knowledge, you can't go wrong with reading these books.
"Wan'er, Zifei, you two learn, I want to see the books here. Tong Hao explained to Geng Wan'er and Liu Zifei.
"Can you read these books?" asked Tong Hao in surprise.
"I want to try. ”
"Don't force yourself, you will have a headache after watching for a long time. ”
"I see. ”
Geng Wan'er hadn't studied these ancient books, but every time he saw them for about ten minutes, he would have an unbearable headache, and after trying them a few times, Geng Wan'er simply gave up these books.
Tong Hao, who has the ability to never forget, naturally reads these books, and after reading a few books, Tong Hao feels that some of the content in them has a certain connection with the books in the pocket library, in order to complete the task, he didn't think so much, and then he can find time to slowly decipher the unsolved mysteries of these books.
Time passed minute by minute, and Geng Wan'er peeked at Tong Hao more than once. She found that Tong Hao not only did not have a headache, but looked more like God. Such a serious Tong Hao Geng Wan'er couldn't bear to be disturbed.
Half an hour, an hour, two hours, and three hours passed, and Geng Wan'er heard Tong Hao sigh, "I'm finally done." ”
"Finished reading it so soon?" Geng Wan'er had to praise Tong Hao's speed.
"Almost!"
"It seems that you are really powerful!" said Geng Wan'er.
"What's the matter? Not to mention reading it, every time I flip through these books, I get a terrible headache in less than ten minutes. ”
"I'll read it too. Liu Zifei, who was doing her homework, also joined the team of small talk.
"Here you go. ”
Liu Zifei took the book in Tong Hao's hand, "What is this? Why can't I understand it?" After a few more minutes, "Why does my head hurt so much?" Liu Zifei suddenly shouted.
"Close the book. Geng Wan'er quickly closed Liu Zifei's book.
"What kind of book is this, and why is this happening?" Liu Zifei just felt a terrifying aura spreading towards his brain.
"I don't know, it's an old book that my grandfather brought back from outside, but no one can read it. Even just reading these books gives you a headache. Geng Wan'er explained to Liu Zifei.
"Why do you keep such an evil book? Just throw it outside and burn it. ”
"Grandpa said that these books must be kept, and no one should touch them. ”
"Tong Hao, why haven't you seen anything for so long?" Liu Zifei looked at Tong Hao dissatisfied.
"Maybe it's luck!"
"The devil believes you!"
"Be careful next time. Remember, curiosity kills. If you don't have Wan'er this time, maybe what will happen to you?" Tong Hao accused Liu Zifei.
Liu Zifei suddenly realized that Wan's goddess saved him, and he hadn't thanked her properly!
"Wan Sons and Daughters, thank you for your great kindness. I will definitely repay you for saving your life, and today you will say a word to my Liu Zifei, and I will not give up. Liu Zifei expressed her ambition.
"It's just a gesture. I don't need you to go to the trouble for me. ”
"I must repay this kindness. Liu Zifei insisted.
Geng Wan'er didn't talk to Liu Zifei too much, and secretly sighed: How good would it be if the person just now was Tong Hao?
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully activating the check-in system, which is valid for seven days!
"Check in. "The check-in mode of the system is a little different from the check-in mode that Tong Hao used to play the game before.
There are a total of nine cards in front of Tong Hao, each card has numbers of different sizes written on it, and you can get the corresponding number of college entrance examination orders by drawing a few numbers. At the end of the seven-day check-in, Tong Hao can use these college entrance examination orders to go to the mall to exchange for the corresponding items.
The system is getting more and more interesting!
Tong Hao chose his lucky number 9, which is the last card. After the voice fell, a ray of light flashed in front of Tong Hao's eyes, and the card he had just selected gradually flipped over as the light disappeared: 2
The number 2 is written on the card, which means that Tong Hao can get two college entrance examination orders this time.
It's bad luck to sign in for the first time!
