After that, Li Wei spent most of his time in the library.
After all, studying made people happy.
Or rather, studying with cheats made people happy.
And Li Wei's efforts did not go to waste. After spending over half a month in the library, he acquired three skills: [Occultism: 30], [Linguistics: 20], and [Natural History: 10].
Although the values were all very low, having them was better than not having them. Besides, as long as he kept reading books on those subjects, the values would keep rising, wouldn't they?
[Occultism], needless to say, covered knowledge of various folk traditions, myths, and legends.
Through [Linguistics], Li Wei had now learned Francisian and Crontian as well. He could only use them silently, though: he could understand the writing, but he still barely knew how to pronounce anything.
As for how he learned them-well, Li Wei had a special trick for that.
First, you needed a dictionary.
Then you could find novels written in the language you wanted to learn, reading them while looking up the words. Keep reading, and eventually you would understand.
Of course, there was a knack to this. Not just any novel would do. If Li Wei had to recommend something, his first choice would be those secret histories of royal courts, the kind with long, detailed passages about nobles and maids, nobles and ladies, or nobles and young misses engaging in deep, probing exchanges and explorations in bathrooms, storerooms, bedrooms, and so on... Those made it relatively easy to stick with it.
After all, motivation was important when studying, wasn't it?
[Natural History] was a relatively broad discipline. Simply put, it involved studying plants and animals in their natural environments. Of course, it could be subdivided into [Botany] and [Zoology]. Although [Natural History] did not delve as deeply
