Opening Class

Ma Feifei couldn't refuse this task; otherwise, it would be equivalent to mission failure, and the Analects would be taken back, resulting in a loss of ten million Spirit Crystal for Ma Feifei.

But if he actually does it... Ma Feifei himself doesn't even understand the meaning of the Analects, how can he teach others well? And there are three thousand of them!

Thinking of this, Ma Feifei sighed and ran into the system panel to ask for advice.

"You want me to teach others to read the Analects? At least let me thoroughly understand the book myself, right?"

Ding! The Analects has been delivered. Please check your mail. The system suddenly sent this message.

Ma Feifei nodded in satisfaction, looked at the newly published white book of the Analects in the drawer, picked it up, opened it and found that it not only contained the main text of the Analects, but also had densely packed small characters written below each sentence.

"Then I can just teach according to this book, right?" Ma Feifei suddenly thought.

Anyway, the system didn't require him to understand its meaning. When teaching, he only needed to make sure they understood it. Whether it was right or wrong, he could just refer to the annotation book later. Ma Feifei didn't need to think about it at all.

"Thinking about it this way makes things much easier!" Ma Feifei said, leaning on the table and fiddling with the Analects.

"But where are we going to find these three thousand people?" Ma Feifei pondered.

The number of people is not actually a problem. Although Dubian Town no longer has a million people as before, it still has six or seven hundred thousand. It is easy to find three thousand people to read the Analects from such a large population.

The most crucial point is that these three thousand people must have strong Wuneng; simply put, they must be quick-witted. Someone as stupid as Yun Qingyang is definitely not suitable; he would only hold us back and affect the progress of the mission.

"Yes, Yun Qingyang, the mother dragon, should be crossed out. She can't participate." Ma Feifei picked up a piece of paper, wrote the three characters "Qingyang" on it with Ballpoint Pen, and then highlighted them in a big letter.

"I wonder if Gongsun Qiong and Zhao Xiaodao will be free to participate. They're quite intelligent. Zhou Zhuling and Zhou Guanyu have also returned to Dubian Town, so we could let them participate too. Zhang Yunji can also be included..."

Ma Feifei wrote down everyone he knew on a piece of paper, and eventually found that he had only drawn Yun Qingyang among the people he knew; the others were all intelligent.

"You're really stupid!" Ma Feifei poked at the three characters "Qingyang" with Ballpoint Pen, shaking his head and sighing.

However, it's clear that relying solely on Ma Feifei to gather three thousand people is insufficient; the most direct approach is to select from a large pool of cultivators.

So in the afternoon, Ma Feifei flew to the Wantong Trading Market across the street.

Then, less than an hour later...

Thanks to the promotion by Wantong Trading Market, the news that Ma Feifei, the owner of the Mysterious Bookstore, was about to open a class and recruit students spread throughout Dubian Town.

"The owner of the Mysterious Bookstore is going to give a lecture? What will it be about?" The Wantong Trading Market was in chaos as everyone was asking the officials about Ma Feifei's lecture.

"It's about a book that hasn't been released in Bookstore yet, called the Analects," the official representative replied with a smile.

"What qualities does this the Analects represent?" the crowd asked.

Currently, the quality of books in Mysterious Bookstore has become a major concern for everyone.

"Epic-grade," the official lady replied.

"What is Epic-grade quality? I've never heard of it." Everyone looked at each other in confusion.

"It's one tier higher than Yellow Quality book," the official staff member said.

"Hiss!" Upon hearing this, everyone gasped, their faces filled with shock.

"I want to register"

"I want one too!"

"I want to become the shop owner's student."

The mere mention of Epic-grade instantly sparked a frenzy of registrations.

However, to everyone's dismay, the official representative revealed the requirements for registration.

First: A total of three thousand students will be enrolled this time.

Second: Registration requires a fee of 10,000 Spirit Crystal to enter the second round of testing. After successfully passing the second round, one can become the shop owner's student.

Third: Applicants must be of high intelligence and have strong Wuneng. Those who are too dull should not apply, lest they be eliminated in the second round of interviews, and their application fees will not be refunded.

Fourth: After successfully passing the re-examination, you must undergo a four-month study period. During this period, you may not leave Dubian Town and may not miss any class without a valid reason. Violators will be severely Punishment, and may even face life-threatening consequences.

"Ten thousand Spirit Crystal for registration! That's too expensive." Upon hearing this, most people immediately gave up the idea of registering. Ten thousand Spirit Crystal was a huge sum of money for many cultivators.

"Yeah! And it's just the registration fee. What if I don't pass the second round? Wouldn't that be a double loss?" Some people shook their heads and gave up the idea of participating.

Of course, with such a large number of applicants, even if most people give up registering, that small group would still be enough to fill the 3,000-person quota.

As for the third point, which says that those who are too stupid shouldn't come, that's a joke. Anyone who gives up on signing up because of the third point is truly stupid.

And so, a wave of enthusiasm for enrolling in lectures swept through Dubian Town like a whirlwind.

By the second day, the number of people who had signed up had exceeded ten thousand!

Ma Feifei has already made a fortune from the registration fees alone.

In this collaboration with Wantong Trading Market, Gongsun Qiong only symbolically received 10% of the labor cost, while the remaining 90% belonged to Ma Feifei.

The 10,000 people brought Ma Feifei a total of 90 million Spirit Crystal.

Ninety million! With his existing assets, he's now a multi-millionaire, which makes Ma Feifei very happy.

Ding! A reader has successfully triggered Book Instance Grave Robbers' Chronicles.

Ding! The probability has been successfully triggered. Congratulations, host, you have gained the right to enter the instance together. Before your fellow readers enter the instance, you need to decide whether to enter.

Just as Ma Feifei was reveling in his newfound wealth as a billionaire, two prompts came to his mind.

Immediately afterwards, a beam of golden light shot out from a corner of the Bookstore, and a golden token appeared on the long table.

"What's this?" Azi looked at the token that had suddenly appeared, picked it up, glanced at it, and said, "A dungeon activation token?"

The one-armed man frowned and said, "Just now, a message appeared in my mind saying that I triggered a dungeon in the book, and I can gather a team of four to enter the Tomb of the Hegemon dungeon within three days. It will be invalid after that time."

"The Tomb of the Hegemon!" Upon hearing this, Azi's face lit up with joy, and she exclaimed happily, "Big brother, you're amazing! You actually triggered the Tomb of the Hegemon!"

"Brother, Azi, what is the Tomb of the Hegemon?" Taishan asked in a deep voice.

"You big idiot, didn't you see the notice board in the shop? That's a unique dungeon in this Grave Robbers' Chronicles. As long as we clear the dungeon, we can get a lot of rewards, and maybe even an eighth-tier spirit sword," Azi said happily.

Miss Liu Ying's eighth-tier spirit sword has truly amazed everyone, becoming the most enviable item to date in the Mysterious Bookstore.

"This Grave Robbers' Chronicles and that Legend of the Swordsmen of Shu Mountain are of the same quality, so the rewards shouldn't be too bad either. However, this book is newly released, and there's no one to guide us, so we don't know how dangerous it is inside," the one-armed man said with some concern.

Since people learned from Pokémon that death in the book world is true death, it has instilled a sense of caution in everyone, especially regarding unknown book worlds where the level of danger is completely unknown, which inevitably makes people afraid.

"Oh dear, brother!" Azi couldn't help but complain, "Every opportunity we've had in the past has come at the cost of our lives, but you've never backed down! Why are you hesitating this time?"

The one-armed man thought for a moment and agreed with what Azi said, nodding. But then he added, "However, this instance requires four people to enter, and we only have three, so we can't get in."

"Just find another one," Azi said, slapping the table and standing up.

The golden light had already attracted a lot of attention, so when they saw Azi stand up, everyone looked at her with confusion.

"My older brother just started a dungeon from The Grave Robbers' Chronicles, and we're short one person. Anyone want to check it out? Sign up!"

After Azi finished speaking, she looked at everyone with high spirits, imagining that the next moment these people would beg her to choose them. But she found that everyone was still looking at her, and no one was willing to join Azi's team.

"You don't want to go in?" Azi asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Yes," someone replied.

"Then why didn't you sign up?" Azi asked.

"I'm afraid you'll kill me inside."
