Looking at the four single beds in the dormitory, each with its own small cabinet at the head, Huang Ye couldn't help but sigh.
It's truly the cycle of fate. It's been less than five years since I left the university campus, and now I'm back again.
The amazing thing is that in academies of different natures in two worlds, I've encountered similar environments.
What is this? I thought I'd at least get a single room here, which would make it easier for me to cultivate. I didn't expect it to be a shared room for four.
What a lousy academy, so stingy.
After an hour, three books were also entered into the system.
Alright, time to study.
"System, bring up the hidden weapons textbook."
The knowledge about hidden weapons in the books far exceeds what the system recorded.
There are not only types but also firing techniques, not just manual but also mechanically assisted.
The most impressive is the chain hidden weapons set, capable of rapid fire, single fire, and group fire, with power at close range far exceeding an AK47.
Tang Sect's hidden weapons are indeed extraordinary.
Unfortunately, all high-level hidden weapons are only mentioned by name in the textbooks, without detailed introductions or blueprints.
These high-level hidden weapons are likely hard to come by.
Such weapons are already Tang Sect secrets, impossible for outsiders to know.
I must understand these high-level hidden weapons, including their firing methods, range, and coverage radius, so I know how to avoid them in the future.
It seems I need to get closer to the beautiful teacher, hopefully getting the blueprints. With the system, innovation is a small case.
If I can get a few ready-made high-level hidden weapons, even against a Martial Emperor like the City Lord, I might have a chance to win with the weak defeating the strong.
Huang Ye eagerly read the contents inside.
The three others, seeing Huang Ye's serious attitude, couldn't help but admire him.
Initially, they thought Huang Ye's way of reading was just playing around. Feng Yun quietly told the other two that this might be a unique method of the class monitor.
Now, sitting quietly, he looks more like a sage from outside the world. With a pot of boiling water behind him, he's like a deity descending to earth.
Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.
With such a selfless and serious attitude, they could only sigh in admiration.
Little did they know, Huang Ye had no choice. Without the company of the two girls, he felt empty inside.
Fortunately, these textbooks were useful, complementing the system's knowledge, making learning interesting for him.
He slowly entered a state of selflessness, his mind filled with darts, flying needles, and iron caltrops.
This method also alleviated the loneliness of not having the two girls around.
At the same time, Huang Ye made a decision to return once a week.
One reason was that he couldn't rest easy about the two girls; the other was that he truly missed them.
Especially the wonderful moments of dual cultivation, even if progress was slow, the feeling of cultivation was still good.
When unable to find a breakthrough direction, accumulation was also a good option.
Influenced by Huang Ye, the three others also sat on their beds to meditate and cultivate.
In less than half an hour, the three were swaying and meeting with the god of dreams.
Early the next morning, Feng Yun was the first to wake up. Seeing Huang Ye still meditating, he immediately sat up straight, entering a daydreaming mode.
The other two also gradually woke up, imitating Feng Yun and daydreaming.
As the sky brightened, Huang Ye opened his eyes. In one night, he had thoroughly read three hidden weapons textbooks, gaining a lot of knowledge about various hidden weapons.
Theoretically, he had made significant progress; now, he needed practical experience.
He looked at the three, each swaying on their beds.
Sigh! These ordinary folks, how can they compare to me?
Huang Ye smirked and prepared to go out to wash up.
"This academy is quite considerate, actually preparing toiletries," Huang Ye muttered to himself.
Seeing a set of toiletries under the bed, Huang Ye gave the academy a thumbs-up for the first time.
The three immediately snapped out of their meditation state.
"Boss, the washbasin is my gift to you."
"Class monitor, the water cup is my gift to you."
"Great one, the towel is my gift."
Huang Ye scratched his head. Wow, the plot twist is a bit fast.
"Thanks!" He said helplessly, carrying the washbasin out of the dormitory.
Seeing the water purification device outside, Huang Ye couldn't help but marvel at the ingenuity of the people here.
It was a large waterwheel, continuously scooping up river water passing through the campus, filtering it through a large trough.
Finally, bamboo pipes delivered it to lower areas, where the academy's various water needs were met.
After washing up, he went to the cafeteria for breakfast and then headed to the lecture hall.
Today, he had many questions to ask the beautiful teacher, but there was no opportunity before class.
Tang Xin arrived just in time for class.
"Hey, you there, why don't you have a book?" Tang Xin pointed at Huang Ye's nose and asked.
Damn, this girl's memory is terrible. She just made me the class monitor yesterday, and today she's forgotten my name completely.
"Honey teacher, my name is Huang Ye, not 'you there.'"
"Oh! Right, it seems to be Huang Ye." Tang Xin patted her trembling chest and said.
What a weirdo, is your memory stored in your chest?
No wonder the old saying goes, 'big chest, no brain.' This girl certainly has some assets.
"Where's your book? I think I made you the class monitor yesterday, so you're in charge of the books. Didn't Jiang Yun give you the key?"
"Honey teacher, even if you gave him two guts, he wouldn't dare."
"Then why haven't you taken them out? Can't afford them?"
Huang Ye paused, unsure how to answer that.
By now, some students were whispering below.
"The new class monitor is so pitiful. Judging by his clothes, he really might not be able to afford books," Student A said.
"That's right. Yesterday he took them out, but maybe after seeing the price, he returned them," Student B analyzed seriously.
"Very likely. Why don't we crowdfund?" Student C suggested.
Hearing these words, Huang Ye thought to himself, it seems these students are really impressed by me.
Sometimes being assertive works better than being patient.
If it weren't for yesterday's assertiveness, I'd probably be facing ridicule like the old man's class.
"Honey teacher, I... I really can't afford them," Huang Ye stammered.
"Wow!" The discussions below started again.
Tang Xin was also taken aback. She hadn't expected this, as her textbooks weren't expensive.
Each was only ten taels of silver, considered cheap in the academy.
Here, although some students came from ordinary families, those pursuing martial arts usually had decent family backgrounds.
How could this kid not even have that much silver?
This idiot, I gave you the key, couldn't you have taken them out first?
Tell me privately, and I wouldn't have asked you for money!
She glared at Huang Ye fiercely, just about to tell him to go get the books.
Suddenly, someone shouted from below, "Instructor! I have something to say."
"Spit it out! Don't waste class time," Tang Xin said irritably.
Huang Ye was shocked by Tang Xin's words. Is this really a teacher? Speaking so rudely.
But seeing that none of the students below showed any surprise, it was clear they were used to it.
"Teacher, I don't think Huang Ye is suitable to be the class monitor."
"What, are you questioning me?" Tang Xin's phoenix eyes revealed a cold killing intent.
"Instructor, I wouldn't dare. I fully supported your decision yesterday."
"But seeing him like this today, I think having a commoner who can't even afford books as our class monitor damages the class's image."
Huang Ye immediately recognized who this was.
Yesterday, when Jiang Yun left, some followers wanted to leave with him, but Jiang Yun scolded them back. This guy was one of them.
Yesterday, I made it clear that Jiang Yun wouldn't want these little brothers anymore.
Why is this guy opposing me now?
