Post-Apocalyptic Survival Modpack

Chapter 138, Section 137: Daily Life

The Grand Master stood on the platform, calmly sharing his knowledge with the students. Remarkably, although his voice was not loud, everyone could hear him very clearly.

Its content is just the right depth, fresh enough, and practical.

Like everyone else, Wang Ji listened attentively from the audience, occasionally jotting down a few notes.

"very funny."

He offered his own assessment.

But it just doesn't feel very interesting.

It feels like learning basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division skills in elementary school.

Even if some of the clever ideas are interesting, or even involve some kind of fundamental calculation method, they are still really uninspiring.

After jotting down a few notes, Wang Ji stopped writing and leaned against the table, resting his chin on one hand, casually looking around.

At this moment, the hall was very quiet. Apart from the slight friction sounds, only the Grand Master's peaceful voice could be heard.

Wang Ji glanced around and suddenly saw a familiar face in the front row.

He was a young man in his early twenties, wearing an ordinary robe, and listening attentively like all the other students.

"Morin".

Naturally, Wang Ji called out this name.

Beside him, Lin Wa'en heard this murmur and was briefly drawn to it.

Following Wang Ji's gaze, Lin Wann exclaimed in surprise in a low voice, "Wow, you have sharp eyes! That's the Sage's friend and the Archmage's apprentice, Morin."

"I heard that the Grand Master once said publicly that he and Maureen are somewhat similar, and many people have nicknamed Mr. Maureen 'Little Master'."

Upon hearing this title, Wang Ji's lips twitched, feeling a sense of something inexplicable about it.

the other side.

As if sensing something, Morin suddenly turned his head and looked back with a puzzled expression.

All I saw was a group of students listening attentively, nothing else unusual.

illusion?

Seeing that the Grand Master was still speaking, Morin turned his head away, not bothering to delve into this trivial matter.

Wang Ji and the other man were startled when they were glanced at. They stopped talking and quietly went about their own business.

The morning was rather boring.

After listening to the Grand Master's lecture, Wang Ji attended two more classes with Lin Wa'en.

These are the basics of alchemy, and the language and construction of magical arts.

Wang Ji didn't just go through the motions in these two lessons; on the contrary, he enjoyed them immensely.

“It’s very interesting; these basic textbooks are completely different from Age of Empires.”

"The content is more complete, systematic and practical, and it has eliminated the unnecessary nonsense and misleading content of ancient books."

It's like straightening a crooked tree and pruning away the crooked branches that have taken away nutrients from the main trunk, thus forming a new, standard, healthy tree.

"I love watching it."

Wang Ji was engrossed in reading the new textbook, turning the page almost every few seconds, which made his classmates around him a little resentful.

Are you using a book to fan yourself?

Wang Ji smiled and said, "Yes, it's too hot."

His completely submissive demeanor left his classmates speechless.

However, Wang Ji did not continue in this manner. Instead, he slowly and attentively looked at the book, appearing very absorbed, and did not attract anyone's attention.

The morning passed quickly.

Study time is over.

It was noon, the time when the sun was at its strongest.

The sun hung high in the sky, its rays appearing somewhat distorted by the heatwave.

Inside the cafeteria, Wang Ji devoured a tender and juicy pork chop, then soaked bread in the thick soup, finishing it off in no time. The sight of him made onlookers feel choked with envy.

After finishing his meal, Wang Ji poured himself a glass of chilled juice, which he drank in one gulp, feeling quite refreshed.

"I don't feel full yet, let's have another one."

Wang Ji continued eating, looking as if he hadn't eaten in years.

Sitting across from him, Lin Wan couldn't help but say, "Slow down, bro, we're not short of food right now."

Wang Ji replied casually, "Yeah, I know, I'm just really hungry today."

Extremely hungry?
Actually, it’s not.

After finishing the first serving, Wang Ji knew that he was full; something was filling him up, probably his stomach or something.

嗏

In my dream last night, it seemed like I hadn't eaten normally like this in a very, very long time.

It makes me really want to eat more today. "Delicious!"

Wang Ji rubbed his stomach and said something.

Lin Wa'en stared blankly and said, "We eat here eight out of ten days a year. I'm so tired of it. Did they change the chef today?"

After thinking for a moment, he exclaimed, "Give me one just like his!"

After a while.

The two walked out of the cafeteria one after the other. Wang Ji looked refreshed, while Lin Wa'en, burping, slowly walked out while holding onto the door frame.

"It has to be you, bro. You eat so much and your belly doesn't get bigger. If I had eaten one more serving, I would have almost died of overeating in the cafeteria."

Wang Ji said earnestly, "If you read more books and exercise more, you'll be able to eat this much too."

Lin Wa'en said awkwardly, "I understand the importance of exercise, but does reading also aid digestion?"

Wang Ji: "Probably, reading is mentally taxing, and the brain consumes energy."

After saying that, he added, "Once you become a first-level novice sorcerer, you will also get hungry when constructing spells, because ultimately, it all consumes energy."

Lin Wa'en was stunned, and couldn't help but blurt out in his hometown dialect: "How do you know so much?"

Wang Ji patted him on the shoulder: "Read more books."

Then he asked, "What are your plans next?"

"Next?"

Lin Wan patted his stomach and said listlessly, "Let's go back first. I really need to get some sleep to digest."

"On such a hot day, after eating so much, it's perfect to go back to a cool room and take a nap."

"alright."

The two said goodbye.

Lin Wa'en returned to his resting place, while Wang Ji stood there for a while, thought for a moment, and then also walked towards his own place.

It was very hot, but Wang Ji seemed not to feel the temperature at all, nor was he sleepy.

At this moment, Wang Ji had a feeling that he didn't really need to rest, but recalling the past, he seemed to return to his residence to sleep every day without fail.

But in that dream…

Thinking of this, Wang Ji's thoughts came to a halt.

It was just a dream, why do I keep thinking about it that way?
As my thoughts wandered, I arrived at the accommodation area.

There was a letter placed on the door of my room.

"My letter?"

Wang Ji took the letter, went into the house, opened it, and began to read.

This character looks somewhat familiar.

The sender of the letter was...his own father.

"Wang Ji, how have you been lately? Are you settling in well at the Alchemy University? It's been a while since you left the village for River Bend City. Your mother and I haven't seen you in ages. Come back and visit when you have time, and let us see how much you've grown."

The letter was short, just a few words, and along with it came a golden ear of wheat from my hometown.

It symbolizes a bountiful harvest and good health.

"It's been a long time since I've been home."

Wang Ji put away the letter, made his travel plans, and decided to go home for a visit during his next holiday.

Noon passed quickly.

With no plans for the afternoon, Wang Ji spent the time in the library, quietly and leisurely passing the time until evening.

The sun had set, but the city remained bright.

The lights never go out, and the night is as lively as the day.

Want to go out for a stroll?
An idea arose in Wang Ji's mind, and just then Lin Wa'en came over and brought up the idea.

So Wang Ji didn't stay any longer. He stood up, told Lin Wa'en, and went to put the books back in their original places.

"How are you?"

Just as Wang Ji put the book back, he heard a deep, aged voice beside him.

Turning around, I saw an elderly man whose face naturally appeared somewhat serious, yet he tried his best to wear a kind smile.

Great Master?
The unexpected encounter left Wang Ji momentarily at a loss for words, and he could only awkwardly reply, "It's fine."

Osvid nodded without saying anything more, as if it were just a casual question. After asking, he looked away and scanned the bookshelf, looking serious as if he were searching for something.

Seeing the Grand Master so engrossed, Wang Ji didn't say anything, simply straightened the book, and left.

Between the bookshelves.

After Wang Ji left, Oswald lowered his head slightly, and the smile on his face disappeared.

Looking at that retreating figure, I let out a soft sigh.
