After the college entrance exam, he began to become a male god of extraction.

Xu Qin had no idea what Li Yue was thinking.

But you think you can take all my achievements for just 50,000 yuan?

Xu Qinzhen just cursed at him directly.

He had just received 50,000 from Li Zilong a while ago, and then received another 5,000.

With his own savings, Xu Qin now has a total savings of over 80,000 yuan.

As a result, Li Yue wanted to take away all his efforts with 50,000.

At this price, it's better to let it rot in your hands.

In Xu Qin's opinion, "New City Year One" is not bad, otherwise he wouldn't have readers giving him tips every day. Xu Qin has received more than 30,000 tips now, and he estimates that he will receive more than 50,000 by the end of the month.

With nearly 200,000 favorites, the book's quality is clearly above average.

Furthermore, Xu Qin is not short of money at present, at least not the 50,000.

Copyright is something you can sell if you can, but it has to be for a reasonable price.

Regarding the price, Xu Qin also had his own ideas; two or three hundred thousand would be fine.

As a newcomer, Xu Qin didn't expect to be worth much.

In addition, the terms of the copyright sale must stipulate that the seller will receive a portion of the revenue from subsequent copyright operations.

For publishing houses, new authors typically receive 6% to 8% of the publishing revenue.

If it can't be sold, then it's not sold.

Ultimately, it comes down to this: Xu Qin is not short of money right now, especially not that 50,000 yuan.

Li Yue was also anxious after being scolded by Xu Qin, and the message to "return the favor" came quickly.

Xu Qin: "Happy!"

Xu Qin ignored the other party and left Li Yue standing aside.

But Xu Qin made a note of Li Yue from Xinyue Media.

The next day.

Xu Qin is going back to his hometown today.

"Be careful on the road!" Mom reminded me before I left.

Don't worry!

Xu Qin took the high-speed train back, and then took a taxi to the town after arriving at the station. His hometown village was not far from the town.

It took Xu Qin more than four hours to get from the high-speed rail station to the village.

It was already 3 p.m.

Xu Qin bought some things in town and then walked into the village.

In rural areas of China, there are often village information stations, where a group of middle-aged and elderly women sit and point and whisper.

When Xu Qin returned, he also ran into them.

"Whose young man is that?"

"From Ah Chong's family!"

"Achong's son?"

"Yes, that's Ah Chong's son, Xu Qin. Hey! What a handsome young man! He's so tall!"

"Who am I looking at? Oh, it's Ah Chong's kid! He's grown so tall and handsome!"

Xu Qin walked in from the village entrance, and he really stood out.

At the same time, the system responded.

[Searching for special items...]

[Special item discovered: Stool for the village intelligence station.]

[The special stool for the village intelligence station: Where there are people, there is a world of intrigue. This is a common feature of village intelligence stations, feared by countless people... This old wooden stool embodies over a decade of wisdom accumulated by the village intelligence station, possessing three outstanding characteristics!]

Three?

Xu Qin was suddenly startled.

[Extractable elements: keen observation, idle gossip, and intrigue.]

Xu Qin was stunned; these were three special characteristics at once!

But what are all these things?

Xu Qin glanced at it and the meaning seemed obvious from the literal words alone.

Especially gossip.

Then again, which village intelligence station in China isn't like this? Even a dog passing by gets a few words of criticism.

Xu Qin immediately went over.

"Hello, aunties, I'm from Xu Chong's family, my name is Xu Qin."

Xu Qin greeted him with a broad smile, as warm as a spring breeze.

"Oh my, we all recognize you! Everyone in your family looks like a movie star!"

"Where? Where?"

Xu Qin said modestly.

In rural areas, being humble is the way to survive; otherwise, you'll be gossiped about behind your back.

"Qin, are you in college yet?"

"I started university this year and will be going for military training at the end of August."

Xu Qin pointed to the bench. "Auntie, may I sit here?"

"Sit down! What are you standing for?"

The two aunties next to him quickly pulled Xu Qin to sit down.

At this time.

【Whether to extract? 】

coming.

"extract!"

Extraction successful!

[Gains: Observational skills, gossip skills, and the ability to scheme and plot.]

Grade: Silver.

Three silver medals in one go?

Xu Qin was stunned, which was no less than a windfall.

[With keen eyesight: Your vision will reach 5.4.]

[Gossip: You're quite adept at discussing others' rights and wrongs behind their backs.]

Intrigue and power struggles: Palace intrigue is also a skill, an essential ability in complex environments.

Xu Qin glanced at the three traits. Only "Seeing in All Directions" could be kept. The other two could be used to synthesize the gold traits later, since they were indeed not very useful.

"Qin, are you in college yet?"

"I'm ready. I'll report for duty at the end of August, and then it'll be military training."

"What university is it?"

"What score did you get?"

"676 points, went to Jiyu University."

"Wow! That's amazing, 676 points! Your neighbor, Xu Weijian, his son Xu Lihai, isn't he your cousin? He had a celebration a few days ago to celebrate his college entrance exam. He scored 615 points, and you scored so much higher than him!"

"Ji Yu University, this school is amazing!"

Rural women may not know some lesser-known universities, and may not even recognize many key universities, but they will definitely know the most famous ones, including Chizhou University.

Upon hearing Xu Qin's scores and the university he was admitted to, everyone was quite excited. Their expressions towards Xu Qin changed, and they all said that he had a bright future and was as capable as his father.

"Qin, do you have a girlfriend yet?"

"Auntie, I have a girlfriend."

Even though Xu Qin doesn't have a girlfriend, he has to say he does, otherwise he'll be introduced to one soon.

Moreover, news spreads easily in rural areas, and in a couple of days, people from the neighboring village might come to propose marriage.

It's not that we're trying to arrange a marriage for Xu Qin just because he got into a good university, but rather that Xu Qin's appearance and his prestigious university background make him truly exceptional.

You should know that when Xu Qin returned during his senior year winter break, he was approached by matchmakers.

The village of Xu Qin has only two surnames, with a total of 126 households: 53 households with the surname Xu and 73 households with the surname Li.

Xu Qin spent almost half an hour at the village intelligence station before finally managing to slip away.

"My eyesight has improved a lot."

After leaving the village intelligence station, I walked a distance and decided to test my eyesight.

During his senior year physical examination, his right eye was 5.0 and his left eye was 5.1, indicating a clear decline in his vision.

But now my vision is 5.4, which is much clearer.

5.4, ​​a range not found on the visual acuity chart, represents a level of visual acuity close to the theoretical limit, which very few people can achieve.

Simply put, when facing the bottom line of the eye chart, an average person with 5.0 vision can see it clearly from five meters away, but Xu Qin can see it clearly from 12 meters away.

"It seems this trip back to the village was the right decision."

"I'm still missing a silver trait that I don't need. Once that's done, I can synthesize a gold trait."

The remaining two properties are not very useful; it would be a waste not to use them for synthesis.

Xu Qin arrived at his family's old house without realizing it, where his grandfather usually lived.

Xu Qin's father had four brothers, and they had all separated their households.

Grandpa lives in the old house, and sometimes he stays at his sons' houses, depending on his mood.

As for the old house, it's not a typical mud-brick and tile house from decades ago in the countryside, but an old house, though not very large.

Xu Qin's great-grandfather was a Jinshi (a successful candidate in the highest imperial examinations) in the last imperial examination of the Longhan Dynasty, but he did not become an official. War broke out as soon as the results were announced. At that time, his great-grandfather was a passionate young man. Upon hearing that the country was in trouble, he abandoned his pen and joined the army without hesitation, shouting that he wanted to protect his country.

After the war ended, my great-grandfather was lucky enough to come back alive, but he lost a leg and went blind in one eye, but thankfully he was still alive.

Because he was traumatized by the beating, my great-grandfather took a sum of money and returned to the village, married a woman, became a schoolteacher, and simply stopped caring about worldly affairs.

This house is quite old now, over a hundred years old. It was built during my great-grandfather's time and has been repaired many times since.

There are three sycamore trees outside the courtyard, planted by my great-grandfather. Now they stand tall and lush.

Under the shade of a tree, Grandpa was lying in a rocking chair, fanning himself to cool off, while a few sparrows hopped around on him.
