Adam's Teaching

The next morning, as Altair was listlessly eating breakfast at the table, Vivian, sitting next to her, asked curiously, "Didn't you sleep quite well last night? Why do you look so exhausted today?"

"Sigh," Altair sighed, then slowly raised her head, paused, and thought for a few seconds, preparing to craft her answer to the question. But at that moment, her mind went blank, her reactions were always a beat slow, and when she thought about a question, it was as if she were looking through a layer of fog, unsure how to think or answer.

After several seconds, she slowly said, "I'll be like this for a while, so don't worry. I'm just using my consciousness to learn new knowledge."

As he spoke, Altair put down his knife and explained, "I won't have breakfast with you today; I'm going to catch up on my sleep."

After saying that, Altair didn't wait for Vivian's reply. Instead, he got up, turned around, left the restaurant, returned to his bedroom, drew the curtains again, and started to catch up on his sleep.

A few minutes later, after Altair fell asleep, her consciousness floated back into Adam's Bone Church.

When Altair's consciousness felt the blinding sunlight, she slumped her head and asked weakly, "Was it necessary?"

"I hope that every time I lie down these days, I'll end up taking lessons here."

Adam smiled and nodded, "Yes."

"This is all for your own good. You'll understand when you grow up."

"Learning isn't for me, it's for yourself."

Hearing these familiar words, Altair tilted his head slightly and chuckled speechlessly, "You little black devil,----"

Before he could finish speaking, Adam used his Psychiatrist abilities to forcefully suppress Altair's mental fatigue. He picked up a textbook and said to her, "Altair, please pick up your textbook and memorize this information by rote. It's all basic knowledge—you'll need it all—I'll arrange a mock exam for you later—"

On December 28, 1347, late at night, inside the Corpse Cathedral, Adam calmly looked at the exam paper before him and said, "You've done quite well; all my hard work as your teacher has been worthwhile."

"Then I, Grisha Adam, hereby declare you graduated."

Upon hearing this, Altair, sitting to the side, remained unmoved. He silently raised his left hand and extended his middle finger, praising, "Teacher Adam, your teaching is truly excellent. You must be a respected and wonderful father, your family must be harmonious, fulfilling, and loving, and your relatives and friends must be—"

On December 29, 1347, at dusk, Altair slowly awoke. After sitting up for a few seconds, she lay back down, covered herself with the blanket, and shakily rang the bell to call for her maids.

When she heard the knock, she casually said, "Come in."

Bending slightly, Altai recognized Irene and said, "Irene, go tell the boiler room to turn the fire up a bit; I'm feeling a little cold."

"Also, prepare some hot tea and desserts for me, and bring them over later. I'm a little hungry."

Irene nodded slightly and replied respectfully, "Understood, I'll arrange it right away."

Half an hour later, Altair struggled to get out of bed, sat on the sofa in the bedroom, drank hot tea, and ate some small cakes.

Recalling the unbearable days of the past ten days, she kept sighing, unsure whether to feel fortunate or despairing.

Grisha Adam, once half of the Great Old One Ancient Sun God and now the King of Angel, forced her to study psychology continuously while she slept, in order to enable her to create a psychological plague of "mass burnout" on her own. In just twelve and a half days, he taught her most of the psychology.

Although she gained a lot, she was also in despair during this period. Her Spirit Body studied at a high intensity for 24 hours a day for twelve consecutive days. Well, such days are hard to describe. Even in her previous life, before she transmigrated, she had never enjoyed such a good life!

In the evening, Altair sat at the dining table, enjoying his dinner with great pleasure.

Seeing this, Vivian asked curiously, "Has your studies ended for this period of time?"

Altair was too hungry to look up and reply, but simply nodded heavily in response.

After finishing the tender steak on his plate, Altair looked up at the table and selected another dish.

However, perhaps because he hadn't been eating normally recently, Altair was hesitant and didn't want to choose anything too greasy.

Seeing this, Vivian handed her plate to Altair and said, "I'm full, you can have yours."

Altair didn't stand on ceremony. After taking the plate, he said as he cut the food, "I think we should hire a new chef. I'm tired of many of his dishes."

Vivian smiled and said indulgently, "Okay, have you decided what kind of chef you want to hire? I'll make the arrangements in a couple of days."

Altair paused briefly, stopped eating, looked up and thought for a moment, then said, "Please hire a chef who specializes in Feynapotter cuisine; I'm craving spicy food lately."

"Hmm... let's hire another pastry chef from Intis. I don't know why, but I've been liking desserts more and more lately. And the head chef too—"

"How are you feeling?"

Vivian chuckled and said, "Sure, whatever you like."

After chatting for a while, Vivian said to Altair with a reluctant expression, "I won't be able to return to our Ancestral Land with you this year. At noon, I finished playing and digesting my Beyonder Characteristic Demoness of Affliction. I'm planning to go out soon to the South Continent to hold Advancement Ritual and become the ' Demoness of Despair '."

Altair hesitated for a few seconds before asking, "Why are we going to the South Continent? Can't we go to the North Continent?"

Vivian poked Altair's forehead with her finger, reminding him, "You've forgotten, the North Continent is entirely the territory of the Seven Gods. Wherever there are people and churches, there will be their spies."

"It's unlikely that a small city could gather 30,000 people, and in a large city, if a plague broke out among 30,000 people, it would definitely be discovered and they would face being wanted by the authorities."

"The situation is different in the South Continent. Although the traces of the Seven Gods can be found there, it has not yet reached the point where believers are everywhere, and a war is currently breaking out there."

"If the corpses are not properly disposed of after the war, epidemics can easily break out."

"With the outbreak of the plague, I only need to slightly enhance the virus, go with the flow, and reap the lives of some people who were going to die soon anyway. It's easy to get away with it that way."

"By the time the Mandated Punishers and Night Watcher discovered me, I had already completed my advancement and returned to the North Continent."
