3 Burning knowledge alcohol lamps

"Lie flat?"

Hearing this, Link couldn't help but tighten his heart, and his pupils contracted.

On the continent of Standy, people pursue knowledge and advocate learning, and have always believed that people should continue to struggle to improve themselves and achieve the progress of all mankind through competition for the survival of the fittest.

The survival of the strong is a law recognized by all.

Therefore, almost "lying flat" is almost a sin in itself!

"No, people should work hard to study when they are alive! How can you lie flat? Link shook his head like a rattle, and immediately refused sternly.

The resident spirit, who claimed to be the old book "The Philosophy of Lying Flat", was not in a hurry to explain, and was silent for a while before the old voice came again: "Young man, what do you think is lying flat? ”

After thinking about it, Link said: "Lying flat is to do nothing, learn nothing, do nothing all day, eat and wait for death!" ”

Link expressed his understanding.

"Hahaha, that's a mistake," the old man replied with a smile, "What you said, it's a lying corpse, not a lying flat." ”

"Lying corpses? Lying flat? Isn't that pretty much the same? Link was a little confused.

"Lying flat doesn't mean doing nothing, learning nothing. If you don't do anything, won't you starve to death? The old voice continued, "Lie flat, but pay attention to the word 'skill'." Never stand when you can lie down, never lie down when you can sleep, never struggle when you can have fun, hey, just play! Just enjoy! ”

The old man's voice became more and more excited, and he said to the so-called "lying flat" philosophical head.

"Sounds cool!" Link's heart began to waver a little.

However, shaking his head, Link quickly cleared the "evil thoughts" in his heart and asked a very realistic question: "Is it true that people won't be beaten to death by living a life like this?" Can lying flat really make you stronger? ”

"Uhh

"Try it, anyway, you are already doomed to have no hope in life in ordinary knowledge and cultivation, now you won't lose if you try it, if you can't become stronger, then you will die, and the old man will not stop you!"

"How about it, young man, why don't you give it a try? Hey, hey, hey! The voice that claimed to be the host spirit in the book was seductive, lighting another fire for Link.

Pursing his lips, Link blushed, "It's done!" ”

"Sir, how should I do it, how should I 'lie flat'? Also, I don't know your old name? Link asked with a solemn bow.

"The old man is the host spirit of this great philosophical book, the world once called the old man 'Ban Lao', but the world is reincarnated, the past is not there, this name the old man does not want to hear, now, you call me 'Lao Ban'."

Without waiting for Link to answer, the "old class" spoke again: "Next, I need you to spend half a month studying this great philosophical book, what you can achieve in the future on the way to 'lying flat' depends largely on your study and understanding in the past half a month, everything depends on yourself..."

......

Time flies, and the Lin family's mid-term academic assessment has only passed for more than half a month, and when people are still talking about evaluating Link's performance as a scumbag that day, Link himself is undergoing unknown changes.

In the past half a month, Link, who usually soaks in the library all day long to "do useless work", is bored in his humble courtyard all day long, except for the day when he receives the monthly payment as usual in the middle of the month - the day when a school coin is received, it is rumored that some children of the Lin family have seen Link in the family supply and demand office, and no one has ever seen Link.

However, no one really cared about Link, after all, in their eyes, Link now is just a joke after dinner.

Until the second month,

this day.

A familiar figure finally came to the first floor of the library.

"Yo, isn't this the big waste Chai Link in the family? I haven't seen you for a few days, and I thought you died somewhere, so you scumbag is still alive? ”

"Tut-tut! Is he too embarrassed to come to the library? Such rubbish, why don't you die! If I were him, I would have failed the assessment, and I would have consciously found a crack in the ground to get in! ”

"Don't learn, Link, you're just learning for a lifetime, and you're a scumbag! To be a man, you have to accept your fate! ”

"Hahaha..."

As soon as Link appeared, he attracted the hostility and ridicule of his peers in front of the library.

While sneering, several young men with tall horses and strong knowledge and cultivation levels stopped in front of Link with unkind faces.

In other words, Link's slightly fair and immature little face would definitely be flushed red at this moment, clenched a pair of fists, and then angrily let out a similar "Humph! Wait for me, one day I will definitely surpass you in my studies! "Cruel words,

Then, often beaten up at the end of the beating, at that time, Link would always lament that God was unfair and treated him too thinly!

But not anymore,

"Yes, yes, you are so right, I can't help but applaud you, pop!"

Today's Link is like a different person, in the face of everyone's ridicule, not only did he not see any anger on his still immature face, but greeted him with a smile, and even couldn't help but "snap" and applaud.

"Link... You? Everyone was obviously a little stunned by Link's reaction today, and they were not prepared for a while.

Link continued to lick his face and said with a grin, "Ah! A few future gods of learning, could you please give me a little bit of the way for the scum of learning? ”

"Of course... Absolutely... It's our fault, we shouldn't be in the way of Link..."

Link smiled equally politely and said, "So, Link is grateful!" ”

With that, Link strode into the library while everyone was still a little stunned.

The Lin family's library has a total of 27 floors.

On weekdays, only the first to seventh floors are unconditionally open to the children of the Lin family to read, and if you want to enter the eighth to seventeenth floors to study, you need fifty study coins, and then up, if you want to enter the eighteenth to twenty-seventh floors to read books, you need at least one hundred study coins!

On weekdays, Link can only be found on the first to third floors of the library.

For no other reason, the principles contained in the books on the first to third floors are relatively easy to understand, and the knowledge energy in them is relatively easy to absorb.

Above, the knowledge points mentioned in the book involve Link's knowledge blind spots.

But today, Link has come directly to the seventh layer!

"Link?"

A girl in pink was just about to leave from the entrance of the seventh floor, when she happened to rub shoulders with Link, and after recognizing it, turning around, the girl subconsciously called Link's name.

Seeing this woman, Link froze and responded politely with a smile; "Sister Lin Tong, I haven't seen her for a few days, my sister is really getting more and more beautiful!"

Link was not hesitant to compliment.

Seeing Link's expression at this time, Lin Tong frowned good-looking, and only felt a little disgusted in his heart, "Link, this is not the place you should come, let's go down." ”

Without waiting for Link to respond, Lin Tong's brows furrowed deeper, and said: "Link, there are less than five months before your birthday, and you will also be sixteen years old at that time, according to the Lin family's family rules, if you are sixteen years old, you will not be able to get a 'good' or above evaluation in the next academic assessment, and you will be assigned to the family's industrial workshop to engage in miscellaneous labor, at that time, you will be able to see the end of your life almost at a glance, although it is a bit cruel to say this, but after all, this is the reality, you should also be very clear, right?" ”

For some reason, Lin Tong, who used to study with Link in the library every day, is now more and more unaccustomed to Link.

"Yes, yes, Sister Lin Tong, you said it so well! Brother, I'm ready to lie down, sister, you have to work hard, study hard to surpass everyone, when the time comes, my brother will lie down and cheer for you! Hey! Hey, hey, hey! Link had a smile on his face, harmless to humans and animals.

"Shameless and incorrigible." Stared at Link for a while, shook his head, and left such a comment, Lin Tong turned to leave.

Lin Tong left for a long time, and after his figure completely disappeared in the library, the corners of Link's mouth curled, his slender eyes narrowed, and the depths of the pair of pale red pupils in his eyes seemed to flicker with a strange light, "I didn't have a choice before, but now, I want to choose to be more comfortable." ”

Link didn't stop, and didn't care about the strange eyes of others, shuttling back and forth through the bookshelves on the seventh floor of the library, and then chose two science knowledge books that were very obscure just by looking at the cover, and brought them to the counter in the center to settle the bill.

"Elder, I have you to help me temporarily remove the imprint of the two books, I want to rent these two books for three days, a total of but study coins, you can count them!"

As he spoke, Link took out twenty worth of study coins from his bosom and handed them to the counter.

......

It was night, the moon and stars were scarce, and the Lin family and Link were alone in the dilapidated courtyard.

The candlelight flickered.

"Old class, you can teach me a little slower later, I can rent these two books, which can be regarded as spending all my school savings!" Link gritted his teeth, his face full of pain.

"Come on, those twenty school coins were obviously given to you by the girl doll in the library today! Return your own, cut! On the table, the wiped very clean "Philosophy of Lying Flat" automatically turned the page, and the voice of the old class came from the book.

"You know that, too?" Link said subconsciously.

"Cut!" The old class snorted, and his tone was very proud, "Your Lin family is such a small place, what can't the old man know?" It's just up to the old man to see if he wants to. ”

Link nodded, and couldn't help but admire this mysterious "old class" more and more, and become more and more curious.

"Okay, Link, you've also read the great book "The Philosophy of Lying Flat" for more than half a month, tell me your understanding first."

Old Ben smiled and threw the question at Link.

Link thought about it for a while, and then summed up his opinion: "First of all, lying flat does not mean not studying, but the most efficient learning, the most shortcut learning." Once you've reached your goal, don't waste a little extra time enjoying it. ”

"The means of lying flat to become stronger can be to rely on external objects, and every point of strength of external objects can reduce their own efforts. With the help of external objects strong enough, you can completely lie flat without effort, and pay attention to the word "cool", so that you can enjoy the satisfaction of the maximum conditions. ”

"Well, it's very good, you have comprehended the first realm of the 'Lying Flat Philosophy', which is not easy for you who are new contacts." For Link's answer, Lao Ban did not skimp on his praise and recognition.

"Then, then, let the old man, the host spirit of the great book of philosophy, guide you on the shortcut to 'lying flat philosophy'.

Whew!

Whew!

After the old class's voice finished speaking, gusts of wind suddenly came out of thin air in the almost airtight room, and the pages of the book where the old class was boarding turned one after another, and a little red light flashed, and a mysterious power emerged from between the pages.

"Link, follow my consciousness, concentrate and watch carefully!"

Lin Ke didn't dare to slack off at the instructions of the old class, and immediately concentrated his mind and concentrated his attention to a high degree, the green tendons on his forehead protruded, and beads of sweat the size of beans broke out.

Hiss!

"This process will be painful, but you have to persevere!"

With the reminder of the old class, the energy above the book of philosophy flashed a strange red light, and then it seemed to outline an arc of mystery and obscurity under the traction of a force of will!

This process is slow, but clearly ongoing.

Link's consciousness seemed to be scorched by a raging fire, and he was bombarded with a thousand hammers, and he almost lost his mind and fell into a coma in agony.

"If you fail, the result will be doomed!"

At the critical moment, the voice of the old class sounded in his ears again.

Link gritted his teeth, a little scarlet blood spilling from the corners of his mouth.

Without words, Link gave his own answer with his actions.

......

The next day, until dawn.

"Knowledge alcohol lamp! Coagulate! ”

A hoarse low cry announced the end of this hellish and painful graduate school entrance examination process.

A delicate and mysterious alcohol lamp vessel was finally formed, and it was suspended in the void and burned strangely!

"Poof!"

At this point, Link spurted out a mouthful of blood, and the whole person was paralyzed to the end, fainting.

......
