Chapter 196 -147 Scholar Registration Assessment, Knowledge Grating!_2

“[You stride forward, quickly crossing the hallway, to arrive in a spacious hall.]

[There’s an elderly scholar sitting behind the reception desk in the hall, wearing a Bachelor’s hat and robe.]

[Upon your arrival, the numerous eyes densely covering its face all pop open, showing a hint of excitement in many of their gazes.]

[This is your first encounter with the form of the ‘inquisitive registrar from the Multivision Association’, its numerous eyes make your hairs stand on end. All you feel is dizziness and your soul being flooded by chaos and knowledge.]

[You have gained knowledge, and your knowledge has increased by 500! Current knowledge: 1000/2700]

[Upon seeing your face, the ‘inquisitive registrar from the Multivision Association’ scoffs.]

[It tells you that this is the enrollment hall for the Polyvision School Association, a noble place where scholars register their identities. As a brutish warrior like you, entering here is simply an insult to this sacred hall.]

[You should leave while it is in a good mood, otherwise it will call the guards to kick you out.]

Lin Xun chuckles. All the guards have already been turned into his experience points, so who is there to call?

The NPC in front of him seems to be part of a quest, so he doesn’t rush to attack.

Following the ‘inquisitive registrar from the Multivision Association’s’ statement, his current possession of the Earth Giant’s shell doesn’t seem to trigger any events.

Lin Xun opens his shell tab and changes his shell.

[You possess the shell of the ‘Yellow Bishop from the Fallen Church of the White Moon!’]

[The ‘inquisitive registrar from the Multivision Association’ takes notice as you change forms into one that looks much more intellectual. Its eyes light up and it quickly asks you if you want to proceed with the scholar registration process?]

[Knowledgeable apostle, do you want to register as a ‘scholar’?]

As expected, by changing into the mage shell, he is able to trigger the corresponding event.

Of course, he chooses ‘yes’.

[Hearing you want to register as a scholar, the ‘inquisitive registrar from the Multivision Association’ smiles.]

[It explains to you that a scholar is someone who has passed the association’s examination and has been awarded merit. Once you pass the examination, you can receive a certificate and badge issued by the Polyvision School Association, and become a highly regarded scholar in the eyes of the world.]

[However, you first have to pay a registration fee of 1000 spirit points.]

[Do you want to trade with the ‘inquisitive registrar from the Multivision Association’?]

The option before him is trade, not give, which means that even if Lin Xun kills the registrar after handing over 1000 spirit points, the traded spirit points will not fall.

He had just killed a giant monster and gained thirty thousand, his savings had reached over ninety thousand. Giving away thousand spirit points is nothing.

[You hand over 1000 spirit points to the ‘inquisitive registrar from the Multivision Association’.]

[The ‘inquisitive registrar from the Multivision Association’ hands over a form and a quill, asking you to fill out your personal information.]

[Looking at the unfamiliar characters on the form, you fall into deep thought…]

Hold on, could it be that the yellow bishop is illiterate?

This illiteracy doesn’t mean that the yellow bishop can’t read, it simply means he is unfamiliar with the written language of this world.

All the information he had received was displayed in system text, so Lin Xun had overlooked this.

In his shell tab, he still has a factory owner’s shell from this world and a guard’s shell he just picked up.

But the factory owner’s shell is unusable and would need 1 soul strength to restore, and as for the guard’s shell…

Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.

Murdering the door guard and then using the guard’s shell to register as a scholar will likely cause the registrar in front of him to turn hostile, right?

For a moment, Lin Xun didn’t know what to do, and was left dumbfounded.

[Seeing your reluctance to write, the ‘inquisitive registrar from the Multivision Association’s’ face changes. It coldly questions you, did you really come to register as a scholar without knowing how to read?]

[Illiterate apostle, what should you do?]

[1. Get angry and swear loudly, ‘What’s wrong with being illiterate? Did the illiterate eat your rice?’ And raise your ‘Thunder Dragon Staff Spear’ to pierce its hateful face.]

[2. Admit with shame and softly say, ‘My family is particularly difficult. My mother told me from a young age that a poor child has to become the breadwinner early, so I had to drop out of school to work…’. Try to gain the registrar’s sympathy by telling a sob story.]

[3. Bribe secretly, unabashedly say, ‘I was up all night reading a few days ago and accidentally injured my hand, so now I can’t write.’ and secretly hand over a thousand spirit points to the registrar.]

With a twitch of his mouth, Lin Xun chooses the third option.

Problems that can be solved with spirit don’t really count as problems.

[You dig out a thousand spirit points, hide them under the form, and hand them along with the form to the ‘Multivision Association’s Knowledge-seeking Registrar’…]

[It silently takes the form and spirit, its gaze firmly fixed on the unaltered form…]

[After a long while, it exclaims in admiration, what beautiful writing! And hands you a square card…]

[You have obtained the ‘Scholar Qualification Certificate’ (Trash)!]

[‘Multivision Association’s Knowledge-seeking Registrar’ tells you that you should head to the other side of the first floor of the Association Building next. That’s where the ‘Scholar Qualification Exam’ is held. Only by passing the exam can you become a true ‘Scholar’!]

Lin Xun scratched his head, was there going to be an exam?

He just hoped it wasn’t a written test, or else he’d have to pave his way with spirit again.

Looking at the registrar in front of him, he hesitated for a moment and didn’t kill him to obtain the Shell of the registrar.

[You quit the ‘Scholar Registration Hall’, bringing your ‘Combat Angel – Valkyrie’ with you to the reception hallway.]

[What will you do next?]

Lin Xun, following the procedures for scholar registration, elected to enter the corridor on the right of the hall.

[You step into the corridor on the right and soon cross it, arriving at an exam venue filled with desks.]

[There are three elderly examiners seated in the venue. One of them stands up as you enter, raising a hand. An eye in their palm studies you.]

[Meeting the ‘Multivision Association’s Knowledge-seeking Examiner’ for the first time, the eye sends chills down your spine. You feel dizzy, and chaotic knowledge is poured into your soul.]

[You have gained Knowledge; your Knowledge increases by 450! Current Knowledge: 1450/2700]

[‘Multivision Association’s Knowledge-seeking Examiner’ loudly questions you on your unannounced entry into the sacred exam venue.]

[You bring out your ‘Scholar Qualification Exam Certificate,’ showing that you are there for the Scholar registration examination.]

[It nods and begins explaining the exam procedures to you…]

[The first segment of your examination involves gaining knowledge from books. The more knowledge you gain from books, the higher your score.]

[‘Multivision Association’s Knowledge-seeking Examiner’ pulls out a book and hands it to you…]

[You have obtained the ‘Book Containing Some Knowledge’*1]

Lin Xun has 8 more books like this in his inventory. Reading books without the special eyeballs in native Shell earns him 10 points of Knowledge each.

If he reads the books with the ‘Eye of the Ancient Wisdom White Dragon’ as an Earth Giant, he can gain 50 points of Knowledge, a fivefold increase.

However, he can’t change into an Earth Giant’s shell now. He’s afraid that the examiners will accuse him of being a brute, evicting him from the exam venue.

After implanting two types of eyeballs, the Yellow Bishop also has the skill to enhance Knowledge. It is also effective for the Bishop to have the book reading effect in the Bishop’s shell.

[You open ‘Book Containing Some Knowledge’ and start reading, absorbing its knowledge…]

[You have gained Knowledge; your Knowledge increases by 45! Current Knowledge: 1495/2700]

[‘Multivision Association’s Knowledge-seeking Examiner’ nod at you approvingly, giving you an excellent grade and then returning to their seat.]

[The second Examiner comes forward, telling you that the second part of the exam involves understanding knowledge techniques from a scroll they will give you.]

[The more advanced the skill you comprehend, the higher your score.]

[The Examiner then hands you a scroll filled with characters…]

[You have acquired the Scroll of Knowledge Techniques]

Lin Xun opens his item column.

[The Scroll of Knowledge Techniques – A worn out parchment scroll filled with mysterious characters that flicker with pure white light. When used, you will comprehend a strong protection skill named ‘Knowledge Grating’!]

Lin Xun’s eyes widen.

Knowledge Grating!

He’s had his eye on this powerful defensive skill for a while, and never thought he’d acquire the skill during the Scholar Examination.
