Chapter 14 Dictionaries
Quick, let go, I'm going to suffocate. I'm fine, but I'm in a bad mood. Ace struggled weakly.
Oh. Marina hurriedly let go of Ace, What's the matter, was it rejected by some girl?
I'm still a kid, Ace said dissatisfiedly, I'm working on a dictionary recently, and some difficulties won't be solved for a while, I'm just in a bad mood.
Mom doesn't know what a dictionary is, but I know my son is the smartest, and he will definitely solve it. Now you hurry up and eat, and I will clean up. Marina said dotingly.
Ace finally uncovered a corner of the mysterious veil of the extraordinary world. For the first time, he began to write a diary in this world, using the words of his previous life.
In his diary, he recorded in detail the formula of the Ace version of the wisdom potion, the formula of the poison, the data of the mouse experiment, and the dosage and changes of the edible potion. Finally, he wrote in the diary:
Although I have successfully achieved spiritual interference with matter, I can't explain this phenomenon. I can't indulge in the joy of obtaining extraordinary power, I should calm down and think about it.
Which ingredient in the wisdom potion played a decisive role? Are there any alternatives or better competitors? Why can spiritual power interfere with matter? What exactly is a monster? Why is there supernatural power? What is the essence of transcendence? Why cross? Why are the two worlds different?
I should ask a few more why. Although I can’t answer it now, as long as I persist in objective and neutral research, one day I will explore the truth of the world and answer the above questions one by one.
After a few days of experiments, Ace discovered that once this mind-like ability is overused, he will have a splitting headache. But every time you use it with all your strength, your ability will improve a little. After constant experiments, Ace found out a simple way to enhance mental power, which he called the mental power exercise method.
Use mental power to drive as many items of different types as possible, until the mental power is almost exhausted, stop, and let the spirit rest. Then eat a lot of meat and maintain an ethereal (trance) state, and the recovery of mental power will be accelerated, and the upper limit will be improved to a certain extent.
In essence, it is similar to ordinary people exercising. Physical exercise is to achieve the purpose of strengthening the body through high-intensity exercise and balanced nutrition. The same can be said for mental strength.
This should only be the most superficial method. Perhaps the extraordinary creatures have a better method, and perhaps they need to capture some living low-level monsters with special abilities for experiments, Ace thought.
He can't wait, but the time is still immature. After all, he is not an adult, and his fighting skills are not perfect enough. Even if he wants to be a demon hunter, he is not qualified. As for buying live low-level monsters, it is even more difficult because he doesn't have enough money.
Ace thought about it calmly, and decided to compile the dictionary first, and promote it to the Department of Culture and Education through Mr. Peter, so as to win the city-state's reward.
After a substantial increase in mental power, Ace's overall comprehension, association, memory, and response have all been greatly improved. In the past, he could only remember the outline after reading it carefully, but now he can quickly memorize and understand the whole text after only one reading. A lot of things are clear.
Peter has said many times that it would be a pity not to specialize in academic studies for Ace.
At the end of October, at Peter’s villa in the first block, Peter and Ace completed the final proofreading of the first edition of the “Common Vocabulary and Common Language Dictionary”,
The cover of this book says that Peter and Ace co-authored it, and the title page reads, Dedicated to every scholar who yearns for knowledge and loves wisdom.
Looking at the newly released dictionary, even a serious person like Peter showed a gratified smile.
This is a book that changes the way of learning. It is a very basic reference book. Both our teachers and students will leave their names in the history of the city-state of Medimus. As this book spreads slowly, scholars in other city-states will also know and use it. Compliment us.
Starting today, you are a qualified scholar, and I will apply for the status of a scholar to the Department of Culture and Education for you.
Citizenship matters are also nothing to worry about. Peter said kindly to Ace.
Everything is thanks to the teacher. Ace replied with a slight bow.
This is an epoch-making masterpiece, plain and important. The goddess of wisdom said that reading a good book makes people wise, humble, full of confidence, and books are the source of wisdom. This dictionary will redefine learning. The ship that sails the seas of knowledge.
Dawen instructor Gailao spoke highly of the birth of the dictionary. He is a close friend of Peter and is very satisfied with the Common Vocabulary and Common Language Dictionary co-authored by Peter and his students.
Ace's father's bitter citizenship will also be resolved. Ace won the gold city-state contribution medal issued by the Department of Culture and Education, which is equivalent to beheading a hundred people. At the same time, he was recognized as a city-state scholar by the Department of Culture and Education. This is a special public position that enjoys special allowances and a high status. He was awarded a two-story villa with only a front yard in the first block. As long as three years have passed in this way, Ace can become a full-fledged citizen.
Ace's family moved into the first block, and Romon looked at the new home in the first block, tears rolling in his eyes uncontrollably.
What he failed to do, his son did it for him. The glory of the ancestors has not declined. Starting from Ace, the three generations of generals have been citizens. Marina is also very excited, her son's status is getting higher and higher, and his ability is getting better and better. As a mother, she feels very proud.
A few days later, Peter's study.
Ace, you don't have to pay tuition fees in the future. I think you can become a teacher. The standard for my disciples to become a teacher is to pass the city-state professional examination. I think you can easily pass the city-state language professional examination and get a language practice badge. Of course, if you I still want to study medicine, and I will recommend you to study medicine with Tylos early next year.
I will take the language professional exam, but I still hope to become a great doctor. Saving lives and healing is my lifelong ideal. I heard that Dr. Tylos must start as an apprentice. I may not have enough time. I hope To be able to hire a doctor to study three days a week.
Ace already had a steady stipend that could afford a tutor.
Haha, don't worry. You are a city-state scholar, how can you be an apprentice again. I will make an agreement with Tylos, you go to him three days a week to learn medical skills, and you don't need to do chores. The tuition fee may be more expensive, but it is impossible Learn for free like an apprentice.
Everything is up to your arrangement. Teacher Peter, I have a suggestion. Dictionaries are of great significance to students, and there must be many people who need them. Even if we strictly prohibit them, we can't avoid piracy. Why don't you just open the dictionary in the Cultural and Education Hall, Free copying is allowed for all.
This is indeed conducive to the spread of dictionaries, and we can gain a lot of fame, but we lose the benefits we should have, which is not in line with my philosophy.
I have a method to make up for our losses. After observation, I found that nobles often use heraldic seals to sign their seals. Why don't we extend this method to books? We can not copy books, carve wooden seals of dictionaries, and directly Printed dictionaries. This is efficient and uniform, and as long as the engraving is correct, all printed dictionaries will be accurate. Who will copy themselves, as long as the workmanship is good and the price is reasonable?
Ace, you really have too many wonderful ideas. Sometimes I really want to blow your head to see. We can invest together, and you are in charge of management. How about half of the proceeds?
Never a pedantic man, Peter had enough business sense to see that this was a good way to go.
(If you think it's not bad, hope to collect this book, and vote for a few recommended votes!)
