Afterword
The Mysterious Bookstore opened for business the following day.
After yesterday's Luan Feng incident, book lovers who went to Bookstore today specifically looking for Yellow Quality books have gone a bit crazy.
Basically, the first thing everyone does when they enter is run towards the second bookshelf. If you encounter someone trying to snatch a book from you, tripping them up is inevitable.
With a 'bang,' a cultivator was running too fast and tripped halfway, falling face-first to the ground and getting covered in dust.
"Haha!" The cultivators outside couldn't help but laugh out loud when they saw this scene.
"Who is it!" The cultivator was furious, his face turning pale.
He's someone important, after all. How will he ever face anyone again after what just happened?
Most importantly, Spiritual Power cannot be used in Bookstore, so everyone is just like ordinary people. If you are not careful, it is really hard to guard against such situations.
Unfortunately, there was no surveillance or anything like that in this era, so he was destined to get away with it for nothing.
In just a short while, all the Yellow Quality books on the second bookshelf were taken.
"Shopkeeper! I want to report this!" The cultivator was furious! He shouted as he saw Ma Feifei come out.
"Huh?" Ma Feifei had just gotten up and still had a slightly lazy look on her face. She was caught off guard when someone started talking to her.
"Shopkeeper, someone ambushed me in the Bookstore just now," the cultivator said with a wronged expression, pointing to his clothes, which were covered in dust.
Ma Feifei carefully examined the dust on the cultivator's clothes, thought for a moment, and then said to Yun Qingyang, who was checking tickets at the entrance, "Yun Qingyang, how many days has it been since you cleaned the Bookstore?"
"I'm not a handyman!" Yun Qingyang turned her head and said fiercely. Ever since Ma Feifei tricked her into buying Great Qin Sheng yesterday, Ma Feifei has become the most unpopular person in Yun Qingyang's mind, without exception.
"Shopkeeper!" The cultivator felt even more aggrieved when he saw that Ma Feifei was still concerned about the cleanliness of the Bookstore at a time like this.
"Oh, oh," Ma Feifei quickly responded, looking at the book lovers inside and outside the Bookstore with a serious expression, and said, "Attention everyone, I hope that all of you will read in a civilized manner in the future and not let this happen again, otherwise you will be blacklisted by the Bookstore and will never be allowed to enter Bookstore again."
This matter must be taken seriously. After all, everyone is a customer, and as the saying goes, the customer is king. Even though Mysterious Bookstore can be considered to have a monopoly on this industry, as a businessperson, one must still show customers the most basic respect.
Seeing Ma Feifei so serious, the book lovers inside and outside the Bookstore immediately felt a pang of anxiety and remembered this rule.
Being blacklisted by Bookstore and permanently banned from entering Bookstore is Punishment that seems far too severe at this stage! Especially after Luan Feng's book became a classic yesterday.
In the past, we fought and killed, braving wind and rain, struggling on the edge of life and death, and yet we weren't guaranteed to gain many opportunities. How arduous was that?
Now, I work nine to five every day, sitting in Bookstore reading books and drinking tea. Cultivation techniques, martial arts skills, and spiritual weapons are all within easy reach. How comfortable is that?
Therefore, it's impossible for me to break the Bookstore's rules; it's absolutely impossible in my lifetime.
After calming the cultivator down, Ma Feifei glanced in Li Bieli's direction and saw him engrossed in reading the "Prescriptions Worth Thousand Gold Formulas." She didn't disturb him, but instead went to Crown Prince Yan and asked, "How is it? Any Harvest?"
After the incidents involving Lin Wuchi and Li Beiguo, Ma Feifei realized that not all tasks need to be completed within the world of the book. Therefore, Ma Feifei still needs to keep a close eye on Crown Prince Yan's reading progress so that he can promptly discover how to complete the task.
It was also because of Luan Feng's ascension to sainthood yesterday that Crown Prince Yan's confidence in the Mysterious Bookstore increased significantly, so he was in a very good state and paid extra attention when reading.
Upon hearing Ma Feifei's inquiry, Crown Prince Yan stopped reading and replied, "This book is truly excellent. It contains many methods for governing the country that I had never heard of before, and I have benefited greatly from it."
Ma Feifei nodded and asked, "And then?"
Crown Prince Yan was taken aback, somewhat confused.
Seeing Crown Prince Yan's expression, Ma Feifei knew he hadn't grasped the essence yet, so she said, "It's alright, keep reading, take your time, no rush."
After saying that, Ma Feifei turned around and walked towards private room number one.
On the way to private room number one, you could still hear Ma Feifei muttering to himself, "I wonder when the Bookstore will be able to expand its staff. We have bodyguards, doormen and ticket collectors, all we need is a janitor."
On the Green Grassland, Ma Feifei stood on a high platform, looking down at the three thousand students below.
"It's been over a month since you all started studying the Analects. The exams a few days ago have shown me that you've memorized the Analects thoroughly. Now, all you need to do is understand the meaning of the Analects to complete your studies and you'll receive even more rewards for your cultivation."
A commotion broke out among the three thousand students below, their faces filled with surprise and delight.
If their previous study of the Analects was driven by interest in this Epic-grade text and a desire to meet Ma Feifei under the guise of a teacher-student relationship, then their current study of the Analects is truly heartfelt. It's not just because the Analects does teach them many principles of conduct, but more importantly, because studying the Analects can lead to a significant increase in their self-cultivation!
In just one month, the cultivation level of three thousand students increased by an average of one rank!
Keep in mind that the average cultivation level of these three thousand students is already at the Spirit King realm!
Advancing one level to the Spirit King rank in just one month is already quite extraordinary.
Ma Feifei raised his hand to quiet the three thousand students below. Ma Feifei said, "I have already taught you the annotations for every sentence in the * the Analects * and had you write them down; so there is really nothing more I can teach you. To truly understand the meaning of the * the Analects *, you must rely on yourselves."
Ma Feifei spoke a very true point: he himself didn't understand the Analects. He could only explain all the meanings of the text to everyone according to the annotations and have them take notes. But for them to truly understand the meaning, that was entirely up to them.
The system provides a standard answer on how to judge whether people have truly understood the principles taught in the Analects.
Looking at the three thousand students below, Ma Feifei continued, "So, over the next two months, your teacher will assign you a task."
"What do you mean?" The three thousand students below looked at each other in bewilderment.
Ma Feifei picked up the Analects from the table, pointed to it, and said, "Over the next two months, you will be transported to various corners of the Azure Dragon Continent, carrying your copies of the Analects, to travel throughout the Azure Dragon Continent and comprehend the eight principles contained within: morality, self-cultivation, conduct, teaching, etiquette and music, politics, criticism, and character. Of these eight principles, you only need to comprehend three to complete the task assigned to you by your teacher."
"Your teacher will give you one day to prepare. Your travel mission will officially begin tomorrow!"
