My health recovery is incredibly fast.

The lunch break is from 12 noon to 1 pm.

The time slots after 1 p.m. are arranged by the individual instructors.

Xia Zuo will stay in the poison alchemy zone until 8 p.m.

Saturday morning is for a general alchemy course.

The afternoon and evening of the day, as well as the entire day of Sunday, are rest days for new students.

If attending classes only grants experience points and doesn't increase spirit attributes, then at most, once you start school, your average daily reading time will be reduced to less than 4 hours, and it will take 500 days to reach 9 points of spirit.

To quickly improve your Spirit attribute, you need to level up as soon as possible and allocate your free attribute points to Spirit.

This brings us back to the efficiency of experience acquisition.

Having free attribute points in hand will keep you calm in the face of adversity!

Chapter 7 Classical Texts (Part 2)

Xia Zuo got out of bed, opened the wardrobe, put on the schoolbag provided by the university, and left the dormitory.

He planned to go to the library, explore all the books in the collection, and record all the combinations of books in the collection.

Harvest the bonus experience from the Collector's Edition in order of increasing complexity.

The books in the university library can be borrowed at will.

Those scriptures unsuitable for the monks' servants to read were collected in the archives and in the private studies of various professors.

Xia Zuo returned to the castle hall, found the correct signpost, and walked a short distance under the orange light to reach the library.

There are more than twenty bookshelves here, made of solid wood, with a simple and elegant style. They are spaced 3 to 5 meters apart to leave a passageway for students to walk through.

A row of giant alchemical lamps hangs on the ceiling, which is over ten meters high.

Soft, warm yellow light radiates from the transparent glass lampshade, illuminating every corner of the library.

The walls feature glass bay windows that extend from the entrance into the reading area deep within the library.

Outside the window is a tranquil view of lake and green space.

Xia Zuo stepped onto the dark red carpet, which had excellent sound absorption properties, and walked to the nearest bookshelf, looking up at it.

Each bookcase here is five or six meters high, divided into more than a dozen rows of bookshelves from top to bottom.

The bookshelves, which are about the same height as a person, display a list of books for trial reading, while the higher shelves store copies.

With a mage servant who has an innate affinity for the library, one can communicate directly with the elemental servants in the library and have them take copies of books from the high shelves to read.

The monk's servants, who were trained to be friendly, would then have to push the ladder themselves to retrieve the copies.

The ladder leaning against the wall, and most of the copies on the bookshelf, are brand new.

It was clearly prepared by the university specifically for its large number of students who were brought into the university to develop a positive attitude.

Even freshmen with a strong spirit know the benefits of reading.

There were already quite a few people wearing brand-new school uniforms reading in the library.

They strolled among the bookshelves, searching for classics that interested them.

Xia Zuo's movements of taking a step and then stopping were not at all abrupt.

He started looking at the first bookcase in the first row.

The detection technique followed his gaze as it slowly swept over the hard-covered books.

Occasionally, I would pick up a book, open it to look at the table of contents, nod as if I were interested, and then put it back to align with the book next to it.

About an hour later, Xia Zuo casually picked out a copy of a classic book and sat down in the least crowded corner of the reading area in the library.

He propped his left arm on the table, used his left hand to support his forehead, shielding his bewildered gaze as he looked at the information on the golden finger, and aimlessly flipped through the pages of the book with his right hand.

When arranging the library, the university classifies the books according to their subject.

It greatly reduces the burden of examining the collection of classic texts and saves the time and effort of tedious sorting.

Among the many classic texts, the most numerous and easiest to learn from are those about people.

(Continued)

..

Each book in the category of biographical classics has numerous interconnected combinations. The number of books that need to be memorized within a combination is small, and there is a high degree of overlap between the combinations.

Memorizing one book allows you to simultaneously achieve the completion rate of several combinations.

Xia Zuo did a quick calculation and found that reading the book "Celebrities of Starry Night City" would allow him to gain progress equivalent to more than a dozen book combinations at once.

If you memorize all the classics in the Starry Night Kingdom's Chronicles series according to the book list of Book Combination 5, you can complete 6 book combinations at the same time and gain a total of more than 300 experience points.

Books about historical figures are undoubtedly the best value for money.

The second most cost-effective category is topographical classics.

Secondly, there are ecological classics, which require a huge amount of memorization but have the lowest efficiency in acquiring experience.

Xia Zuo stroked his chin and slowly nodded, having made up his mind.

Let's start by memorizing the most cost-effective biographical classics.

As for books on topography and ecology, these two types of books will be used in later classes, and we will memorize them then.

He put the book he had picked up back on the bookshelf and began searching for biographies of famous people in Starry Night City.

..

"Xia Zuo."

Mars's deliberately lowered voice suddenly rang in my ears.

Xia Zuo jolted awake, breaking free from his book. He stared blankly at the other person's hair for a moment, then turned his head to gaze at the midday sun outside the bay window.

Two hours have already passed; time flies when you're reading.

Since discovering that reading can provide experience, he has become increasingly skilled at memorizing knowledge points from books, and before he knows it, he is immersed in the ocean of knowledge.

Even Mars, a senior student who grew up surrounded by books, admired this passionate attitude towards reading.

He blew a strand of hair off his forehead, opened his pocket watch to show the other person, and gestured as if he were eating.

No noise is allowed inside the venue.

The two communicated briefly using sign language before leaving the library and entering the castle's main hall.

"I didn't need to guess to know you were reading in the library. I came to find you as soon as it was lunchtime."

Mars waved his arm toward the wall, and a fragrant doorway appeared on the wall.

The restaurant at Starry Night Castle is half open-air and half indoors.

At the central round table, there are fruits, desserts, and drinks waiting to be served, with long benches and booths scattered around.

Mars led Xia Zuo to sit down at a square table, skillfully ticked several items on the menu, and rang a copper bell to summon his elemental servants.

The menu was taken away by something invisible, floating in the air towards the kitchen. Behind the glass panel in that direction, many spatulas and spice bottles were fluttering about.

Xia Zuo stared intently at the bustling scene in the kitchen.

I fantasize about controlling elemental minions and making hundreds of dishes at once. If the experience bonus for commoners hadn't been reduced, how much experience would I gain?

Unfortunately, this loophole was patched by the cheat code beforehand.

A moment later, two plates of sizzling steak with vegetable soup wafted over from a distance and were placed on the table.

"Mars, who controls these elemental servants who act as cooks and waiters?"

As Xia Zuo asked, he cut a piece of beef hind leg and put it in his mouth. The meat was tender, with a good balance of fat and lean, and it was cooked to medium-rare.

Mars took a sip of vegetable soup and wiped the water from the corner of his mouth with a napkin:

"Nobody controls them."

"These elemental servants are products of the discipline of elemental representation, and they operate on their own according to the pre-set plan during their creation."

"When you take the Elemental Manifestation class in the future, you will also have an elemental servant. If you have good talent, Professor Bethel might give you a few more."

The library of the mage's servants contained no texts related to the concrete representation of elements, suggesting it was an exceptionally profound and difficult-to-understand subject.

Chapter 8 Dispersion of Elements

Mars slowly and methodically cut the steak, paused for a moment, and said:
