The Artifact Forger from the Beginning of Collapse

"My Lord, I'm here!" a panting voice rang out.

Fu Xuan, Chen Li, and the others turned their heads and saw Qing Que struggling to walk towards them, holding a book in one hand and a burlap sack in the other.

"It's finally here. It's been so slow," Fu Xuan complained.

Chen Li has already treated more than 20 patients, and you're only arriving now? Why didn't you come any later?

While Chen Li's rapid pronouncements about kidney deficiency might be partly to blame, Qing Que was indeed slow.

"Here you go, Chen Li. This is what you need to learn." Fu Xuan took the thick book from Qing Que and handed it to Chen Li.

"Chen Li?" Qing Que, who was exhausted, suddenly looked up when she heard this name.

Chen Li was always referred to as "Dad" on the Immortal Ship, but the only name he left with Qing Que was Chen Li.

Chen Li adjusted his glasses and then gave Qing Que a friendly smile.

"Yes, that's me."

"Huh?" After Chen Li personally admitted his identity, the effect of the disguise glasses on Qing Que instantly weakened.

After realizing Chen Li's true identity, Qing Que looked at Chen Li and then at Fu Xuan.

What's going on?

"You two know each other? Perfect. No, not good. Chen Li, if you encounter anything you don't understand, you can ask me, or you can ask Qing Que when I'm busy, but please don't pick up Qing Que's bad habit of slacking off. Don't waste the blessing the Star God of Wisdom has bestowed upon you." Fu Xuan said to Chen Li very seriously.

"Qingque, Chen Li is a trainee I just recruited for the Divination Bureau. You mustn't corrupt him," Fu Xuan then said to Qingque.

"Who? Me?" Qingque pointed to herself in disbelief.

You mean, I, an ordinary diviner, would corrupt a blasphemer who caused a ruckus at the Six Imperial Conference, colluded with the Medicine King's secret teachings, and even planned to seize the current Marshal of the Immortal Ship?

"What? Do you have any objection?"

"No." Qingque shook her head frantically.

"Master, are these all the books I need to study? They look quite thick." Chen Li asked, holding the book that was thicker than a brick.

“No, this is the table of contents. Those are the books you need to study.” Fu Xuan shook his head and then pointed to the sack that Qing Que had dragged over.

"???"

"Do you still have the confidence to say you'll surpass me within 10 years?" Fu Xuan crossed his arms, quite pleased with the surprised expression on Chen Li's face.

I've read more books than you've eaten rice.

"Tch, I'll surpass you in three days!" Chen Li said in a low voice.

Here it comes, the most classic part is about to begin!

Distribute points, add more!

"It doesn't seem like divination is that difficult..." Lying in the library of the Grand Diviner, Chen Li flipped through the books in his hands.

Divination: Lv2 (151/200)

Chen Li's Oddity Forger profession has been upgraded to level three, which means that when Chen Li learns a skill, he can learn it to level three very quickly. In addition, Chen Li has been pretending to be a riddle person all day long, and he has accumulated a lot of intelligence points. Therefore, Chen Li upgraded his divination skill to level two in just one morning.

The main reason he stopped being a quack doctor was because he had run out of medicine.

Mebius is a PhD in the field of biology, and it was already quite an achievement for him to be able to procure more than a hundred doses of medicine for treating kidney deficiency for Chen Li in such a short time.

Since Möbius wasn't a professional in this field, Chen Li decided to leave the professional work to the professionals.

Chen Li asked Dan Shu to get 300 doses of medicine that could both treat kidney deficiency and promote health.

Setting up a stall in the Immortal Boat, it's clear that you still need to use the medicine from the Immortal Boat!

As for how Dan Shu obtained these 300 doses of health-preserving medicine, Chen Li didn't care. Chen Li was now the nominal head of the Abundant Faction in the Luofu Immortal Ship!

A boss should relentlessly pressure his subordinates!

If you can't get these 300 doses of health-preserving medicine, then you've betrayed the Abundant Destiny!

Then don't blame Chen Li for destroying you on behalf of the Abundant Star God!

Oh no, I mean Dad!

The plan to destroy the Immortal Ship was devised by my father.

This has nothing to do with me, Chen Li.

The plan to save the Immortal Ship was devised by Chen Li!

It has absolutely nothing to do with my dad!

"You mean you learned divination in just one morning? And even read all these books?" After waking up, Qingque felt like the sky had fallen.

"Yes." Chen Li nodded frankly.

After Chen Li packed up his stall, Fu Xuan asked him if he wanted to go with him to the Taibu Si to familiarize himself with the environment, saying that they might even meet the general who came to inspect.

Then Chen Li decisively refused and chose the library where he could slack off more.

"What 'King of Scrolls'?" Qingque was astonished.

"Isn't it because the knowledge I can access in the Tabernacle Library is all useful?" Chen Li said.

As the department responsible for calculating the entire celestial ship's route and predicting good and bad fortune, the Taibusi (太卜司) possesses the most information and the largest amount of knowledge.

It has everything from iron smelting and gold refining to starship piloting and manufacturing.

"How did you manage to learn all of this? Even if you were eating the books, you couldn't possibly learn it this quickly." Qingque simply couldn't understand Chen Li's desire to learn.

“For example, like this…” Chen Li said while demonstrating.

Chen Li lay down on a rocking chair, placed the book under his head, and slowly closed his eyes.

A short while later, Chen Li opened his eyes and gave Qing Que a thumbs up.

"You learned it already?" Qingque asked incredulously.

"Just kidding, you actually believed me?" Chen Li smiled, then began reading the book very seriously.

However, Chen Li flipped through the book a little too fast, or rather, too fast.

"Wait, wait, can you even keep up with how fast you're looking?"

"You don't understand the blessing of the God of Wisdom," Chen Li waved his hand.

"alright."

The higher the level of his intelligence, the faster Chen Li could read.

When Chen Li was working as a quack doctor, he often played quiz games with Bai Lu, so Chen Li's current reading speed has reached the level of quantum reading.

However, Chen Li needed some time to digest what he had read.

The knowledge of a province enters through the left eye and exits through the right eye.

Wait, digest?

"Qingque, what did you just ask me?"

"Can you keep up with reading so fast?"

"No, it's the sentence before that."

“Even if you were reading the book, you couldn’t possibly finish it this quickly,” Qingque said, spreading her hands.

"Qingque, you're simply a genius." Chen Li's eyes lit up.

"Uh, what do you mean?"

"Can I eat these books?" Chen Li asked, pointing to the sack of books in front of him.

“Theoretically speaking, this sack of books was given to you by the Grand Diviner, and they belong to you now. You can do whatever you want with them. But realistically speaking… Chen Li, are you really alright? Have you gone crazy from reading too much?” Qing Que asked worriedly.

Qingque couldn't help but worry, because Chen Li hadn't yet given her the rare item that Chen Li had promised would allow her to slack off as she pleased.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony." Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Li directly picked up the table of contents of "Thirty Years of Calculation, Fifty Years of Divination," which Fu Xuan had personally given him, and stuffed a corner of it into his mouth.

After Chen Li's experiment lasted for 5 minutes, Chen Li finally understood something.

Eating books counts as eating!

However, there are two situations.

One possibility is that Chen Li has read the book. In this case, Chen Li can ensure that he remembers the knowledge in the book after just one glance, and that he can use the knowledge quite proficiently.

In this way, Chen Li can allocate all the skill points for the [Allocation] skill to reading speed, instead of allocating them to reading speed and comprehension speed.

Another possibility is that Chen Li has never read this type of book before; in this case, it's simply a case of "reading without understanding."

Both of these situations can help Chen Li increase his resistance to books.

Specifically, this manifested in Chen Lineng punching and kicking the extremely troublesome magic books in the deep library, under Qing Que's admiring gaze.

"You still need to read books. Reading is good." Chen Li grumbled to Qing Que while eating a book.

"You call this reading?"
