Chapter 90: The Stanford Collection

Stanford's two-month semester model made Bella very uncomfortable, and many things in learning have just been started, and before she has entered the state, it will be the end of the semester! Time is tight and there are many tasks, but with the addition of her good looks, she has gradually opened up the situation in several clubs.

Fencing is a sport that ordinary students can't actually touch, and in their spare time, playing baseball or rugby is over, who practices this thing!

For example, Bella's roommate, Heather's classmate who also attended her game, played with a 3,000-turn chainsaw, but fencing? Sorry, I've never heard of it! According to the big murderer, such a thin metal stick is far inferior to a chainsaw, with limited lethality, and many rules, which is not practical at all.

I can't figure out why the swordsmanship I inherited from the pirates has become synonymous with elegance now that it has been transformed. However, Bella can also understand that this is similar to the saying in the desolate world, the more people who can fight, the more they are 'blessed, pure and virtuous'.

Fencing is similar to equestrianism, and it is a bit of a gold on the face to say that it is an aristocratic sport, but a bunch of people still rely on this sport to be elegant.

Many wealthy people who graduated from Stanford are sponsoring fencing clubs in order to label themselves as cultivated.

Rich! Fencing clubs are rich!

After the competition, the organizers loudly announced that they were going to throw a party.

It's too unusual not to party here, even Barbara, who was beaten like a melon and had a depressed face. Miss Morse couldn't turn down an invitation to a party either.

The organizers borrowed a villa for the evening party.

It's already chilly in San Francisco in December, but the party scene is very hot, and no one will come to the party wrapped in a cotton coat, Bella has changed her fencing suit and fencing shoes, and is wearing a white knit sweater and printed long skirt, with a pair of sandals underneath.

After playing a casual game of snooker, she sat at the bar and watched a bunch of people playing, and from time to time someone came over to talk to her.

Bella is also selectively screening, and if she can talk about it, she will say a few more words, and ignore it otherwise.

She felt like she was slowly turning into Victoria. Hand's kind of personality is completely watching people put down dishes, but it's not okay not to do this, making friends with those who are worth befriending, this will save her a lot of time, she doesn't want to delay too much energy in interpersonal communication, let alone enter politics, find a relatively upper-class circle to mix in and it's over.

"Your swordsmanship is so good, have you been practicing it since you were a child?" Barbara in a camisole. Morse sat beside her and asked curiously.

Said that the ancestors appeared and passed on to me through the spiritual sea? No one believed this, and Bella nodded.

"Yes, I've been practicing since I was a kid and I've been practicing for many years."

The two chatted while drinking, the ban on not drinking alcohol at the age of 21 has long been in vain, and the people in the United States who really abide by this law are as rare as giant pandas, as long as they are not discovered, then there is nothing.

"Your parents are both police officers? That's pretty good...... My parents are both soldiers, and my family has been military for four generations, and I am the only one who is a woman......" Barbara poured out her grievances.

Her family background is similar to Bella's, and Charlie and Samantha actually served in the army, becoming sergeants after retiring from the army.

Barbara's family has been in the army for four generations, and she has a certain common language with Bella, and in a way, they are an alternative 'military household'.

At the social level, the United States does not pay much attention to this class.

Sociological research reports believe that 80% of people are middle-class, but in Silicon Valley, they have their own definition of the middle class, they believe that only IT elites, professors, and doctors are middle-class, which is the pillar of society.

The two didn't say it explicitly, but they understood each other's meaning inside and outside the words, discrimination! Discrimination is everywhere in this country!

It is because there is too much discrimination in all aspects that many people put this word on their lips.

Barbara kept talking to her, taking the opportunity to stop those suitors, and Bella had similar thoughts, and the two had a gossip about not having a match.

The party at Stanford was relatively well-behaved, and by ten o'clock, Bella got up and left.

After going back to the dormitory to change into casual clothes, rinsing her mouth again and again, and after confirming that there was no smell of alcohol, she went to the library with her bag.

The librarian showed a professor the borrowing signature, and after the other party confirmed, he called two strong men to use a small cart to take out an ancient book from the library's storeroom.

A very large and thick book, shaped a bit like the pirate code in Pirates of the Caribbean, like a door panel, it needs to be carried by two people and pulled by a cart before it can be taken out.

This is a rare ancient book in the Stanford Library, called the Gutenberg Bible, which is also known as the Forty-Two Chapters...... No, it's forty-two lines of the Bible!

This is Johnny. Gutenberg's 1,282-page Latin Bible, printed in 1454 using movable type, was so thick that it was no problem to smash an individual.

At that time, a total of 180 copies were printed, and less than 50 are surviving today, and such a precious ancient book cannot be borrowed even if it has the professor's signature, and the book cannot leave the library, so she can only read it in the library.

Even though it was already ten o'clock in the evening, the library was still brightly lit and there were a large number of students studying here.

Bella's book is a bit big and too old, coupled with her beautiful appearance, occasionally a few passing students will look at it in surprise, but no one thinks it's wrong, the wind of freedom is blowing! Feel free to learn whatever you want.

Bella plans to spend a vacation learning from the book, building her foundations, and developing new psionic spells.

Her Latin skills were still in her infancy, and reading the Gutenberg Bible was a bit difficult, which required more time and effort.

When she encounters some difficulties, she will also ask the Wen family father and son by email, when it comes to the knowledge in the Bible, it must be the church that the church is best at, but it is really a bit out of place for her heretic to go to the church, so it is not impossible to retreat and find a demon hunter to solve her doubts.

The witcher has a lot of knowledge about exorcism, and he stays at the level of 'knowing it but not knowing why it is', drawing magic circles, sprinkling salt, and then going up recklessly! Today, it's crude, but there are some tricks to learn from.

No need to think about social issues, no need to do grade point counting, Bella is crazy about learning all kinds of knowledge, even Natasha refuses to ask her out to go shopping, she is ready to soak in the library these days until Christmas!
