Chapter 149: Complete Collection of Couplets

Bullshit Overlord?

*Go to hell, you are the Bullshit Overlord, your whole family is the Bullshit Overlord! *

Xu Que, who had run away after acting cool, heard the system's final notification sound and immediately resisted in his heart. The ghost title "Bullshit Overlord" was not as good as "Face-Slapper"!

However... since it could make the prices of goods permanently 20% off, Xu Que resisted symbolically for a few seconds, and then didn't make a sound!

And that sentence he said before going out, "This rain is born in heaven and dies on the earth. The process in between is life."

Actually, it was also a classic saying from the protagonist of a novel. Otherwise, based on his own culture, it would be impossible to say such profound and Zen-like words!

Everything was for the sake of acting cool. As for whether he could understand the meaning of the words, Xu Que didn't care at all. Anyway, he relied on experience to level up, no need to rely on enlightenment!

Walking to the corner, Xu Que summoned the system and entered the mall interface.

Sure enough, the prices of many products had changed, dropping a lot, and there were many new products.

The first thing Xu Que saw was the academic category. This category was newly added, selling various Four Books and Five Classics, Analects, Disciple Rules, etc., and even "One Hundred Thousand Whys" was there.

But what made Xu Que's eyes light up was that there was actually a "Complete Collection of Couplets" inside.

This made him overjoyed!

*Competing in couplets, hahaha! Now I can go back and act cool again! System, exchange a "Complete Collection of Couplets" for me! *

Xu Que bought the book immediately and used it without hesitation!

There was still a competition of couplets at the banquet later. Originally, Xu Que was completely ignorant in this regard, so he ran out while acting cool to avoid embarrassment later, but now, he had confidence again!

Swish!

As the "Complete Collection of Couplets" disappeared from the system package and turned into a beam of light entering Xu Que's mind, his knowledge was expanded again!

Including the "Three Hundred Tang Poems," this "Complete Collection of Couplets" not only gave him so many poems and couplets, but actually, the core was to use this prop as a carrier to give Xu Que the ability to write poetry and lyrics and compete in couplets.

Besides, in his previous life, Xu Que hadn't memorized fewer Tang poems and Song lyrics in Chinese class, so it was no surprise that a lyric by Xin Qiji suddenly popped out. Another day, he would bring out the domineering "only know how to draw a bow and shoot a big eagle" to shock these low-level cultivators in the cultivation world.

Since he had exchanged for the "Complete Collection of Couplets," Xu Que slowly digested the knowledge of couplets in his mind, the corners of his mouth raised, and he was in no hurry to go back, continuing to stand in the corner to check other categories in the system mall.

Except for one more academic category, many things had increased in other original categories of the mall.

For example, in the technique category, there were some strange books...

Xu Que, who considered his heart extremely pure, was immediately scared, silently noted the prices of several books, and then checked other categories.

However, when he opened the food category, he was immediately dumbfounded!

Some new products had been added to the food category, but the prices were extremely high, and unreasonably high!

Xu Que was angry at the time: "System, explain to me, why were those stinky tofu and instant noodles ingredients sold for 1 Acting Cool Point before, and now these new things you made are sold for 100 Acting Cool Points? Why don't you go rob someone?"

"This system's definition of product prices is absolutely fair, just, and open!" the system replied indifferently.

"Fair, just, and open? Damn, you even learned to act cool from me?"

Xu Que laughed angrily, indignantly saying: "Then tell me, why does a pack of cigarettes sell for 100 Acting Cool Points, and a bottle of beer also costs 100 Acting Cool Points?"

"Ding! Smoking is harmful to health!"

"What?" Xu Que was immediately dumbfounded: "What about beer?"

"Ding! Drinking alcohol easily leads to mistakes!"

"..."

Xu Que was immediately speechless. The system had reasons and evidence, and he really couldn't refute it.

However, smoking is harmful to health is one thing, but what kind of ghost reason is drinking alcohol easily leads to mistakes? Could it be that drinking a little alcohol would ruin my great cause of acting cool?

Damn it, it's clearly seeing that I have money now and wants to cheat me. Hmph, isn't it just 100 Acting Cool Points? I have plenty. If you don't let me buy it, I will buy it!

The more Xu Que thought about it, the angrier he got, and finally waved his hand and bought a pack of cigarettes!

"Ding! Congratulations to host for exchanging for a pack of 'cigarettes', consuming 100 Acting Cool Points! Do you need a lighter? After an 80% discount, it only costs 20 Acting Cool Points!"

"Damn! You are absolutely a profiteer system!"

Xu Que cursed angrily and left with a flick of his sleeve.

*Lighter? I don't need a lighter. I am a cultivator, I can pinch out a flame anytime! *

And in the hall of the building, after Xu Que left, it fell into a silence!

Everyone was deeply immersed in the meaning of Xu Que's words before he left, shocked to the extreme!

"Unexpectedly, just because of a rain, Brother Li could realize the principles of heaven and earth from it and say such profound words." Tang Liufeng exclaimed, whispering to himself.

A scholar also sighed with emotion: "It seems we all misunderstood Brother Li. Although he looks unrestrained, that is his true nature! In fact, he is indeed a talented person."

"Others laugh at me for being too crazy, I laugh at others for not seeing through. This passage is indeed his life portrait. Before I didn't understand him, now, I think I understand!"

"Not bad, although he is arrogant, those ten poems just now were truly eternal masterpieces! We may not like his personality, but we have to admit his talent."

"That 'the life of rain is life and death' gave me a great harvest. After closing for a few more days, I think I can break through the bottleneck. Brother Li is truly overflowing with talent!"

More and more scholars opened their mouths to speak, and they were standing in a fair position to acknowledge Xu Que's talent.

Those ten poems conquered many students. No one dared to say those ten poems were bad, no one!

Even Mo Yunshang sat in place with a dull face, full of horror. Even though he was full of disbelief and unwillingness in his heart, he couldn't say a word of refutation.

Those ten eternal famous poems, he couldn't find a single flaw. This meant that in the competition just now, he had lost, and lost miserably!

Lady Ya was even more shaken in her heart, completely stunned. She had never seen such a stunningly talented man, with extraordinary literary talent and an untamable personality, simply... fascinating!

In addition to Lady Ya's unique constitution, she was most unable to resist the talent of such a scholar. At this moment, her face was flushed and her heart was softening, looking at the empty entrance of the villa, feeling a taste that she couldn't describe.

And Xu Que's expressions of reciting poetry, whether unrestrained, serious, impassioned, or happy, were vividly in her mind, making her unable to forget for a long time.

However, in this scene, the only person who always remained calm was probably Young Master Zhao, the leader of the Four Talents of the Ming Sheng Academy, who was good at couplets.
