The white cat in my arms narrowed its eyes.

...What a white cat.

The white cat lazily flicked its tail. "Look, what are you looking at? What can you see?"

This old man does have some abilities, but to him, it's just a bigger ant appearing in the ant colony.

The old man casually asked Lin Fuxia, "What do you want to learn?"

Lin Fuxia said: "I have some materials and want to make a very powerful weapon. What should I learn?"

The other party looked at her and then threw out a few signs.

Lin Fuxia took a look, blacksmith, collection, identification...

What is this? It doesn't seem to have anything to do with making weapons.

The old man said sternly, "A blacksmith learns to forge. If you don't know how to gather materials, how can you collect them? If you don't know how to identify materials, how can you know whether they are good or how to use them?"

...It seems to make some sense.

But Lin Fuxia was a little unwilling: "Are there no more targeted courses, and it would be best if I could graduate quickly?"

The old man sneered: "People in this world only think about taking shortcuts and don't study the basics solidly. How can they go far?"

"...If I sign up for all three, will the class times conflict?"

"No conflict, I'm the teacher anyway?"

"Ah..." Lin Fuxia looked around. No one else showed up after such a long time. "Are you the only teacher here?"

"They have no money, so they all ran away!" The old man sneered, and his yam beard twitched. "I am the only one left. You may be the last student in this school. It will be closed down in the future!

Lin Fuxia thought to herself, you don’t have to worry about this, just worry about whether you can handle it alone in the future.

The old man asked impatiently, "Are you going to study or not? The tuition for each course is three gold coins, and you can finish it in a month."

A month? That would be such a waste of time. But the tuition for this month is only three gold coins, which is a bit too cheap.

Looking at the tattered clothes on the old man, Lin Fuxia moved closer and whispered, "Teacher, I have money but no time. Can you recommend me a high-quality direct course? I want to take a shortcut."

The old man looked at her, clearly interested, but still unconvinced. He sneered, "How rich are you? Can you renovate the entire school?"

Lin Fuxia asked: "How much does it cost to renovate it?"

"Renovate it, build at least three more teaching buildings, two dormitory buildings, and a cafeteria, five thousand..." The old man stretched out his hand and slapped it, "No, ten thousand gold coins!"

Lin Fuxia thought that although ten thousand gold coins were a lot, she could still afford it. She would ask Ron later and even if it was a little short, it wouldn't be much.

She said, "Okay, but I want some shares. I want 30% of your school's future profits."

The old man stared at her intently, his somewhat cloudy eyes, like a pair of eagle eyes, particularly sharp.

Lin Fuxia was secretly alert, holding the cat in one hand and touching the dagger with the other.

The next moment, the old man slapped the table and said, "Deal, you give 10,000 gold to the school construction, and the school will give you 30% of the shares. No regrets! Take it, your shortcut!"

Lin Fuxia looked down and saw a skill book, "Forging Fusion Technique".

Lin Fuxia: “…” Damn, the NPC actually has a skill book!
