Chapter 945: Chapter 42: Child of Fortune! 100 Ways to Use It_3
"What a good boy, you’re so polite," praised the Artifact Spirit endlessly.
Is that even possible?
Everyone in the Wang Family, including Wang Shouzhe, was a bit stunned. Wang Anye casually acted cute and lamented a bit to the Artifact Spirit, and he got an extra bottle of Basic Bloodline Talent Improvement Liquid.
This stuff wasn’t very plentiful initially at the "Thirty-seventh Recruitment Point," and over the years, it had long been depleted.
Even though everyone guessed there might still be some in the Divine Martial Army’s Recruit Training Camp, they didn’t expect to get one right upon arrival at the camp.
Wang Shouzhe gave a look to his nephew Wang Zongchang, who immediately understood and said to the Artifact Spirit, "Miss Artifact Spirit, I see those cleaning puppets are beyond repair. How about I help you throw them out of the camp to earn some change, so they don’t offend your eyes?"
"Absolutely not, even if they’re trash, they belong to the Divine Martial Army. They must go through the formal process for disposal, and then be handled uniformly by the military’s specialized agencies," the Artifact Spirit strictly refused, "You’re an adult asking me for trash to sell? Shame on you..."
Wang Zongchang’s face was burning from the scolding, but luckily his face was dark, so it didn’t show, and he immediately shyly hid behind Wang Shouzhe.
Wang Shouzhe also let out a sigh of relief.
Luckily he didn’t speak up himself, or he’d have been scolded, too. It seems this Artifact Spirit doesn’t have much patience for adults but is quite caring towards children.
At that thought,
Wang Shouzhe’s gaze fell on Anye.
Wang Anye felt a bit bitter inside.
As the Young Clan Leader of the Wang Family, the small shoulders had to carry the hopes of the entire clan, it was truly tough.
For the family’s future, he had to form an alliance marriage with the Little Princess, act as a nanny for a delinquent girl, break formations, find a master, and now he even has to moonlight as a beggar asking for things...
"Beautiful, lovely, gentle Miss Artifact Spirit," Wang Anye skillfully flashed a smile.
His smile was charming, like the morning sunlight, full of vitality.
"There are a lot of kids at home without any Bloodline Talent Improvement Liquid. Can you give me the broken cleaning puppet to sell for some money?"
"Oh, such a poor child, your family is too poor. According to the rules, I can’t. But as the great Saint Emperor once said, every child in the dynasty is like his own and should be carefully protected," the Artifact Spirit thought for a moment and said, "Giving it to you outright breaks the rules. But how about this, I’ll give you some simple math problems suitable for a child your age, and if you solve them, I’ll give it to you as a reward."
"Thank you, Miss!"
Wang Anye smiled very confidently.
His academic performance was not to be compared with the likes of Wang Yingxuan, Wang Yingqi, or even the super dunce Wang Lilong.
However, having grown up with influences around him, Wang Anye inherited the cautious family tradition well, quickly putting away his smile and showing a pitiful expression: "But, sis, be gentle, my math isn’t very good."
"Don’t worry, don’t worry, sis is just looking for an excuse to give you some trash to sell," the Artifact Spirit’s voice was filled with gentle care, "The cafeteria is right over there, just do a few simple math problems there."
"Thank you, Miss!"
Wang Anye smiled meaningfully.
This is it! I, the Seventh Young Master, am indeed clever. Math problems are way better than the Sword Intent I spent ages comprehending.
The Wang Family members exchanged glances.
Is that really possible?
If Anye really worked on winning over Miss Artifact Spirit, acting cute daily, could he possibly empty the Recruit Training Camp dungeon?
Under the guidance of the Artifact Spirit, everyone entered the recruit cafeteria.
After years of disuse, the cafeteria’s environment was somewhat messy.
Everyone worked together, some sprayed water, others created wind, and in no time, the recruit cafeteria was spotless.
To commend their contribution to the camp, each of them unexpectedly received a few contribution points.
It’s unclear what these contribution points can exchange for? A Tier Seven Treasure Pill? A Divine Power Spirit Treasure? Rare Spirit Species? A Purple Mansion Puppet?
Heh, just thinking about it seems impossible.
However, Wang Shouzhe did take a fancy to the cafeteria tables and chairs; though they were very old, one could tell they were made of excellent materials.
It’s uncertain what kind of Spirit Wood was used for those tables and chairs, but even after ten thousand years, they hadn’t rotted. Taking them back for repair and dismantling could yield quite a bit of rare lumber.
However, he just arrived at the camp and still needed to get familiar with things, so he suppressed the impulse to take everything home for now, planning to see how things developed.
Afterward,
everyone gathered to watch Wang Anye’s test.
As expected, Miss Artifact Spirit was very considerate of Anye and only gave him three questions. According to her, any child with normal intelligence who attended basic education could easily solve them.
Wang Anye started answering with full confidence, and then... he was dumbfounded. What the... what is all this?
Wang Shouzhe glanced over and immediately broke out in a bit of sweat.
These questions aren’t simple at all; they seem as difficult as elementary school math olympiad problems from a previous life. Unless it’s a naturally gifted genius, without professional training, it’s hard to solve even one of them.
While the Wang Clan Academy does have some arithmetic, the kids Anye’s age are taught only basic arithmetic, at most covering some simple operational laws and practical problems.
Even if Wang Shouzhe himself tried, he’d likely be flummoxed.
