Chapter 82 The invitation to the Genius Society has arrived! Please sign for it.

"It doesn't seem like divination is that difficult..." Lying in the library of the Tai Bu Division, Chen Li flipped through the books in his hands.

Divination: Lv2 (151/200)

Chen Li's Miraculous Forger profession has been upgraded to level three, which means that when Chen Li learns a skill, he can learn it to level three very quickly. In addition, Chen Li has been pretending to be a riddle person all day long, and he has accumulated a lot of Intellect Value. Therefore, Chen Li upgraded his divination skill to level two in just one morning.

The main reason he stopped being a quack doctor was because he had run out of medicine.

Mobius is Doctor in the field of biology, and it was already quite an achievement for him to be able to procure more than a hundred doses of medicine to treat kidney deficiency for Chen Li in such a short time.

Since Mobius wasn't a professional in this field, Chen Li decided to leave the professional work to the professionals.

Chen Li asked Dan Shu to get 300 doses of medicine that could both treat kidney deficiency and promote health.

Setting up a stall in the Xianzhou, it's clear that you still need to use the medicine from the Xianzhou!

As for how Dan Shu obtained these 300 doses of health-preserving medicine, Chen Li didn't care. Chen Li was now the nominal head of the Abundance Faction in the Luofu Xianzhou!

A boss should relentlessly pressure his subordinates!

If you can't get these 300 doses of health-preserving medicine, then you've betrayed the Path of Abundance!

Then don't blame Chen Li for destroying you on behalf of the Aeon of Abundance!

Oh no, I mean Dad!

The plan to destroy the Xianzhou was devised by my father.

This has nothing to do with me, Chen Li.

The plan to save the Xianzhou was devised by Chen Li!

It has absolutely nothing to do with my dad!

"You mean you learned divination in just one morning? And even read all these books?" After waking up, Qingque felt like the sky had fallen.

"Yes." Chen Li nodded frankly.

After Chen Li packed up his stall, Fu Xuan Chen Li him if he wanted to go with him to the Tai Bu Division to familiarize himself with the environment, saying that they might even meet the general who came to inspect.

Then Chen Li decisively refused and chose the library where he could slack off more.

"What 'King of Scrolls'?" Qingque was astonished.

"Isn't it because the knowledge I can access in the Tai Bu Division Library is all useful?" Chen Li said.

As the department responsible for calculating the entire Xianzhou's route and predicting good and bad fortune, the Tai Bu Division) possesses the most information and the largest amount of knowledge.

It has everything from iron smelting and gold refining to Starskiff piloting and manufacturing.

"How did you manage to learn all of this? Even if you were eating the books, you couldn't possibly learn it this quickly." Qingque simply couldn't understand Chen Li's desire to learn.

"For example, like this..." Chen Li said while demonstrating.

Chen Li lay down on a rocking chair, placed the book under his head, and slowly closed his eyes.

A short while later, Chen Li opened his eyes and gave Qingque a thumbs up.

"You learned it already?" Qingque asked incredulously.

"Just kidding, you actually believed me?" Chen Li smiled, then began reading the book very seriously.

However, Chen Li flipped through the book a little too fast, or rather, too fast.

"Wait, wait, can you even keep up with how fast you're looking?"

"You don't understand the blessing of the Aeon of Intellect," Chen Li waved his hand.

"Alright."

The higher the level of his Intellect Value, the faster Chen Li could read.

When Chen Li was working as a quack doctor, he often played quiz games with Bailu, so Chen Li's current reading speed has reached the level of quantum reading.

However, Chen Li needed some time to digest what he had read.

The knowledge of a province enters through the left eye and exits through the right eye.

Wait, digest?

"Qingque, what did you just ask me?"

"Can you keep up with reading so fast?"

"No, it's the sentence before that."

"Even if you were reading the book, you couldn't possibly finish it this quickly," Qingque said, spreading her hands.

"Qingque, you're simply a genius." Chen Li's eyes lit up.

"Uh, what do you mean?"

"Can I eat these books?" Chen Li asked, pointing to the sack of books in front of him.

"Theoretically speaking, this sack of books was given to you by the Great Augur, and they belong to you now. You can do whatever you want with them. But realistically speaking... Chen Li, are you really alright? Have you gone crazy from reading too much?" Qingque asked worriedly.

Qingque couldn't help but worry, because Chen Li hadn't yet given her the Miraculous Item that Chen Li had promised would allow her to slack off as she pleased.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony." Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Li directly picked up the table of contents of "Thirty Years of Calculation, Fifty Years of Divination," which Fu Xuan had personally given him, and stuffed a corner of it into his mouth.

After Chen Li's experiment lasted for 5 minutes, Chen Li finally understood something.

Eating books counts as eating!

However, there are two situations.

One possibility is that Chen Li has read the book. In this case, Chen Li can ensure that he remembers the knowledge in the book after just one glance, and that Chen Li can use the knowledge quite proficiently.

In this way, Chen Li can allocate all the Skill Points for the [Allocation] skill to reading speed, instead of allocating them to reading speed and comprehension speed.

Another possibility is that Chen Li has never read this type of book before; in this case, it's simply a case of "reading without understanding."

Both of these situations can help Chen Li increase his resistance to books.

Specifically, this manifested in Chen Li punching and kicking the extremely troublesome Grimoire in the deep library, under Qingque's admiring gaze.

"You still need to read books. Reading is good." Chen Li grumbled to Qingque while eating a book.

"You call this reading?"

"I'm thinking about it in my mind," Chen Li said casually.

In Chen Li's Chen Li, the most important thing about the ability to "eat books" is that it saves Chen Li some brainpower.

Memorizing knowledge is not the same as learning knowledge.

Learning is harder than memorizing.

Reading and trying to understand at the same time left Chen Li feeling dizzy and confused all morning.

But now that's not necessary. Chen Li only needs to remember, and he can "digest" what he understands by eating.

Moreover, this also allows Chen Li to appreciate the beauty of knowledge.

The sunset glows and the lone wild goose fly together; the autumn waters blend seamlessly with the vast sky.

When I was reciting this sentence, I just felt a little cool.

But only by truly understanding it can one appreciate how exquisite this poem is!

People often joke that they encountered the most beautiful poetry at an age when they couldn't understand beauty at all. It's a classic case of "a wild boar can't eat fine chaff."

Experiencing the beauty of knowledge sounds strange and is of no use to Chen Li.

But What If we add "Sincere Heart"?

The Knight of Beauty Argenti possesses a childlike innocence. Under his tutelage, Chen Li acquired Sincere Heart, though he was slightly inferior.

But in the future, Chen Li may even surpass Argenti.

Because Chen Li now felt that Qingque was lying listlessly on the desk in the library, had a kind of "non-action" beauty about her.

"Uh, Chen Li, why are you looking at me like that?" Qingque asked, feeling a little embarrassed by Chen Li's stare.

"I'm just trying to understand non-action," Chen Li said.

"Hmm, do you also want to embark on the path of slacking off? I'll teach you. First, you need to learn how to fight Imperial Jade Pillar of Shame. Let me tell you, a life without fighting Imperial Jade Pillar of Shame is absolutely boring." Qingque instantly became interested.

"...Okay, that sounds interesting." Chen Li nodded.

"Great! Finally, I have a card-playing buddy in the library!" Qingque cheered.

"Oh, by the way, Qingque, if you're really bored in the library, I can recommend a way to pass the time," Chen Li said.

"Let me tell you, I finished all my work before I started slacking off, so how can you say I was bored? I was just making good use of my time." Qingque denied that she was slacking off.

"... If you don't want to hear it, then forget it."

"Listen, listen, listen."

"Because I haven't crafted Miraculous Item for you yet, I haven't added you to the Miraculous Item group on my Friends Circle. Now that I've added you, you can create a mini-game program in the group. You can then play online against the Imperial Jade Pillar of Shame. Although it won't be as exciting as playing offline, at least it can relieve some boredom," Chen Li said.

Although there is no feature to create games on Friends Circle yet, you can upload games by scanning a QR code.

This is equivalent to uploading the data to the group file.

For example, there are already many online games uploaded by Houraisan Kaguya in the Miraculous Item group, but unfortunately no one plays with her.

Chen Li had been trying to find her gaming partners, but hadn't been able to.

Yes, I'll definitely look for it today!

"Interesting..." Qingque became interested in this.

"Beep beep!" Just as Chen Li pulled Qingque into the Qi Wu group and saw the group full of people copying and pasting photos of the newcomer in women's clothing, but instantly losing interest after learning that Qingque was a girl, Chen Li's communication device rang.

"What's wrong? Robin, is something the matter?" Chen Li directly answered the emergency communication sent by the Miraculous Forging Guide.

Chen Li has already told many people that they should use the communication module of the Miraculous Forging Guide to contact each other only if there is an emergency, and use their Friends Circle to contact each other if there is no emergency.

Because you can read Friends Circle without replying.

This is especially true for the Sparkle that bother me every morning and on Sunday.

"Chen Li, something's happened."

"What's wrong? It can't be that someone is causing you trouble because of the Sleepless Night, right? Didn't I clearly put all the Erudition?" Chen Li asked, puzzled.

"Hmm?" Qingque, completely unconcerned, turned her head and glanced at Chen Li.

What did I just hear?

"No, that's not it. It was King Screwllum of Screwllum Star who came to me with an invitation from the Genius Society," the Robin said nervously.

"Huh? Miss Robin, you've been invited to the Genius Society?" Qingque, who was already quite surprised to see that the person in the video was the famous singer Robin, was dumbfounded.

Could it be that Chen Li accidentally took me away from the original timeline?

The famous singer Robin has started to pursue scientific research and academic excellence.

Isn't she afraid of her career collapsing because of her falsified academic credentials?

She's so brave!

"It wasn't me. He's looking for Chen Li. Since he can't find Chen Li, he can only come to me." Although the Robin didn't know who the Qingque was, he still answered the Qingque's question.

"Oh, I remember now. The Erudition did mention this to me." Chen Li slammed his right fist against his left palm, as if he had remembered something.

The invitation from the Genius Society was personally sent by the Erudition, who probably really wanted to keep Chen Li in his notebook and pay close attention to him. However, at the time, the Erudition didn't provide any contact information or anything like that.

Perhaps he was speechless because Chen Li kept pestering him to help take away the trash from the concert venue?

Therefore, Chen Li felt that the Erudition might have changed his mind and didn't want him to join the Genius Society, lest he ruin the Genius Society's reputation.

Now that I think about it, it seems the Genius Society really isn't afraid of having its reputation tarnished.

Because it has absolutely no reputation!
