Chapter 8: Victor the Scholar

Playtime, 8 a.m.

Since the soldier's training will be on the first day of the next month, and there are still twelve days to go, Chu Wei plans to take advantage of this time to increase some intellectual castes.

The promotion of intellectual caste, in the small number of strategic information revealed on the official website, only one way to go to the academy to learn can improve one's intellectual caste. Therefore, after entering the game, many players work hard to accumulate money to obtain the qualification to study in the academy.

It's just that the academy fees in each city are extremely expensive, and the process of accumulating money alone will waste a lot of players' time.

Chu Wei didn't have enough money to study at the academy, but after thinking carefully about this improvement model, he had a new conjecture.

The improvement of intelligence depends on the acquisition of knowledge, so if you go to some non-formal teachers to study, can you also improve your intelligence?

With this idea in mind, Chu Wei planned to experiment with it.

After entering the game, Chu Wei went to the tavern and asked the bartender if there were any scholars nearby, preferably if he couldn't even eat.

The bartender thought for a moment and told Chuvi a name, Victor. A down-and-out scholar who is addicted to alcohol but can't even pay the rent, the only way to earn money is to rely on teaching some civilians to learn words, but after all, the people who want to learn words are in the minority, so the money earned is difficult to support even himself.

Hearing the bartender's words, Chu Wei was very satisfied, and after asking the address, he bought a large pot of wine and walked out of the tavern.

Following the address given by the bartender, Chuvi came to the nearby street, which was the poorest place in the whole city of Bis, the streets were a little dirty, and the houses on the side of the street were a little low.

Chu Wei walked to a house and knocked on the door, and after a while, a loud voice rang out: "Are you here to ask for rent again?" I don't have any money right now, so you can come back in a few days. ”

Chu Wei smiled and said, "I'm not here to ask for money, I have something to find Mr. Victor." ”

Chu Wei's words fell, and there was a knocking sound inside, and then the door was slammed open, and a tall figure appeared in front of him, staring at Chu Wei with his eyes, and asked, "You are looking for me?" What's the matter? ”

Victor is very strong, about the same height as himself, more than 1.8 meters, with a horizontal face, and a very fierce look, he really doesn't look like a scholar.

Chu Wei didn't answer immediately, but took out the wine behind him and shook it in front of Victor's eyes.

Victor's eyes were immediately attracted by the wine, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, obviously wanting to get the pot of wine.

Chu Wei was a little amused, threw the wine jug over, and after being caught by Victor in a hurry, Chu Wei said, "Mr. Victor, do you want me to go in first?" ”

"Of course there is no problem." Victor laughed and pulled the door out of the way.

Chu Wei walked into the house and immediately smelled a smell of decay, as if the house had not been inhabited for a long time. And the interior of the house is very messy, all kinds of miscellaneous items are placed casually, the sofa in the living room is covered with dust, and there is a white spider web in the corner of the roof.

Seeing such a scene, Chu Wei regretted it a little in his heart, but he still followed in.

Victor sat on the sofa, opened the wine jug, poured it hard, and then let out a long groan, looked at Chu Wei, and said, "Say, you came with a good wine, you must have asked me, what is the matter?" ”

Chu Wei smiled and said, "I want to learn from Mr. Victor. ”

"Knowledge?"

Victor's face was a little strange and asked, "Do you want to learn words?" ”

Chu Wei shook his head and said, "Not only words, but also some specialized knowledge, teach me everything you know, and I will pay you." ”

Victor's eyes lit up a lot when he heard the word "reward", but he pretended to be calm and said, "If you want to study with me, it will cost a lot of money." ”

Chu Wei felt a little funny, NPCs can even find ways to capture and indulge, and the level of wisdom is too high, so he said: "Uncle Victor, if it really costs a lot of money, then I won't come to you, wouldn't it be better to go directly to Biss City Academy?" Although I am not from Beth City, I know your current situation, and I came to you because I wanted to be cheap. ”

Hearing Chu Wei's words, Victor's face froze, he coughed, and said, "I am indeed a little poor now, but I used to be a well-known scholar. ”

"A well-known scholar?" Chu Wei raised his eyebrows.

Seeing Chu Wei's expression, Victor knew that he had said too much, so he quickly changed the topic and said, "Let's talk about the remuneration directly, one silver coin in an afternoon, this is the price I used to teach students." ”

Chu Wei thought about it, and also felt that the price was quite reasonable, he could study for several hours in an afternoon, which was enough for himself, even if he asked for a tutor in reality, the price was higher than this.

Chu Wei agreed, and Victor was also a little happy, and said: "One silver coin in an afternoon, before you come every day, you have to pay me the day's reward first." ”

Chu Wei didn't answer immediately, and Victor hurriedly said, "You don't have to worry about my ability, it's still no problem to teach you." ”

Chu Wei nodded and agreed to Victor's conditions, Victor asked Chu Wei about the level of knowledge he had now, and learned that he didn't know words at all, so he first planned to teach Chu Wei the words of this world.

In the game, the Epic Continent has a unique language and script, there is a system, you can communicate with the aborigines without barriers, and the fonts you see will be automatically translated into the language you master.

But it is only limited to a small part of the situation, Chu Wei once saw a book in the Epic Continent in the mining area, and the system did not automatically translate it, but reminded himself that he did not grasp the text of this world, so he could not watch it.

Therefore, Chu Wei plans to learn in person, and once he has mastered the words, he can read a large number of books, and he should be able to increase his intelligence.

The appointed time was in the afternoon, and after Chu Wei had lunch in the game, he walked towards Victor's house.

At this time, Chu Wei also found a problem.

There are still twelve days left before the soldier's training, and twelve days of study will cost twelve silver coins. He still has eighteen silver coins now, that is, he only has six silver coins to use, an average of fifty copper coins per day.

If you are in the town of Verdes, fifty copper coins are enough, but the spending power of Biss City is much higher, and if you don't have a place to live, you will need thirty copper coins a night just to live in a hotel, and your own money may not be enough for your own expenses for twelve days.

Thinking of this, Chu Wei rubbed his hair, he already had an idea in his heart, but he didn't know if it was okay.

Chu Wei walked to the door of the Victor family and knocked on the door.

Victor opened the door, saw Chu Wei, and muttered: "It's so early, and it won't be until the end of the afternoon, then I'm going to suffer." ”

Chu Wei rolled his eyes and said, "Uncle Victor, the reward for a silver coin is not so easy to earn. ”

Victor sighed and said, "It's really a time has passed, I thought that silver coins would not be taken into account back then, but now I am whispering for a silver coin." ”

Saying that, Victor shook his head, Chu Wei heard his words, and knew that he should not be an ordinary person before, according to the general rest strategy, now if you ask yourself, you should be able to get a task, but here it is different, if you think according to the thinking and emotions of normal people, now the relationship between himself and Victor is too general, and he is not qualified to know the hidden secret.

"Come in."

Victor kicked away a broom behind the door and let Chuvi into the house.

Although it was not the first time to enter Victor's house, I was still shocked by the mess of the house.

"Let's go to the study."

Victor led Chuvi to the back of the house, opened a door, and walked in first.

"Study?" Chu Wei followed behind him and entered the room with questions.

In Chu Wei's opinion, Victor is so poor now that he should not prepare a special study.

But when Chu Wei saw the books on the three walls and the very clean room, Chu Wei's eyes widened.

The room was large, with layers of wooden planks nailed to the three walls, on which were placed thousands of books.

The room was very clean, a world away from the living room, and there were two chairs and a small square table in the center of the room.

Victor sat on a chair, saw Chu Wei's surprised look, and smiled: "Isn't it surprised?" ”

Chu Wei nodded, a trace of sadness flashed in Victor's eyes, and he said with some self-deprecation: "I am a scholar, and I have been accompanied by books since I was a child, no matter what, I will not let these old fellows fall with me." ”

Hearing Victor's words, Chu Wei was a little moved in his heart, and he no longer had the slightest doubt about Victor's true talent, a person who regards books as a partner rather than a tool, even if he seems down, is obviously not an ordinary person.

Chu Wei sat on another chair, looked at the clean environment, and said, "Mr. Victor, you have so many books, I believe you will be a good teacher." ”

Victor laughed, looking a little proud, and said, "Of course I will be a good teacher, okay, let me start teaching you." ”

Chu Wei sat up straight and began to study the text with this scholar with a mysterious past.
