Chapter 305 System Forum
But this kind of thing was not something that Mr. Bai or Mr. Zhuang could control, so they only discussed it briefly and then talked about this year's harvest.
Mr. Bai really suffered heavy losses this year. He was already in a bad mood, and today, seeing his youngest son being so naughty, his mood became even worse.
He asked a few questions about Bai Erlang's studies, then turned to talk to Mr. Zhuang about Bai Dalang.
Bai Dalang was one of Mr. Zhuang’s first students. He is now studying at the Mianzhou Prefecture School. Mr. Zhuang also contributed to it at that time.
Of course, he only introduced the person to Mr. Bai, and it was Mr. Bai's business to figure out how to get the person into the government school.
Compared to Bai Erlang, Bai Dalang is a diligent and studious person, and he is also relatively intelligent.
But Mr. Bai felt that his eldest son was still a little behind his nephew Bai Shan, so he asked Mr. Zhuang, "Sir, do you think Shanbao should go to the county school first and then the prefectural school like Dalang, or should he go directly to the prefectural school?"
This means starting to plan for Bai Shan.
Mr. Zhuang pondered for a moment and said, "That child is intelligent, but he's also arrogant and unruly. It would be better if he stayed in the countryside for a while to tame his temper. When he's older, it would be better to let him take the college entrance examination directly."
Mr. Zhuang laughed and said, "Although Mianzhou Prefecture School is good, it is far inferior to Yizhou Prefecture School."
Mr. Bai's eyes lit up, and he subconsciously straightened his back and asked, "Can Shanbao directly take the entrance exam for Yizhou Prefecture School?"
Mr. Zhuang smiled and said, "With his talent, as long as he doesn't go astray in the next five years, it won't be difficult."
Mr. Bai became excited and was no longer angry with his youngest son. He laughed happily.
When he returned home that night and saw his trembling little son, he kindly patted his head and told him, "Play if you want to. Go play with Shanbao and Manbao more. But you are not allowed to disturb them when they are studying, understand?"
Bai Erlang nodded confusedly, and then didn't sleep well that night.
The next day, with dark circles under his eyes, he went to talk to his two friends and said, "It was so painful. I couldn't even close my eyes when I was sleeping, for fear that my dad would rush in and beat me up while I was sleeping. I woke up twice in the middle of the night. Sigh~~"
Manbao and Bai Shanbao looked at him with disdain, "Does your father have to choose to beat you when you're asleep?"
Bai Shanbao also nodded, "Uncle is not that boring. If he reaches out to grab you, do you think you can escape?"
Bai Erlang thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I can't run away, but why didn't my father beat me yesterday?"
Manbao guessed, "Because he loves you? Is he reluctant to let you go out of his father's heart?"
Her father couldn't bear to beat her.
Bai Shanbao, however, was a bystander and said, "Maybe it's because he thinks you're beyond help."
Bai Erlang puffed out his cheeks, snorted, and turned away.
Manbao and Bai Shanbao looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.
Suddenly, a series of jingling sounds rang out in Manbao's mind. First, Keke announced a message, "The Poria cocos entry is complete, and the host will be rewarded with 200,000 points. The tree sparrow entry is complete, and the host will be rewarded with 200,000 points. An unknown bird species has been discovered, and the entry is yet to be confirmed by the research institute. The host will be rewarded with 10,000 points in advance..."
Before Manbao could even react with surprise, Keke continued, "The Alliance Supreme Court has approved the access of major research institutes to the Encyclopedia, and the opening of channels between the various worlds and the Alliance. The forum is now open. During this period, the transportation and maintenance costs of transactions between system owners and the Alliance will be borne by the major research institutes, while transactions between the various worlds will be shared equally by all system owners. Host, would you like to open a second channel to the forum?"
Manbao:...She understood the first part, but not the second part.
Seeing the confusion in her eyes, Koko knew that the host didn't understand something. There was nothing he could do, as the host was young and had this problem, so he could only explain it in more detail.
Of course, it was introduced after the forum was opened.
A black interface appeared in Manbao's mind. Before she could ask what it was, red, green and yellow words suddenly appeared on the interface.
There were all kinds of text, and then the next moment, all of them turned into the Chinese characters she was familiar with. The first one was, "Looking to buy a copy of 'Novel Collection' from the 21st century of the Earth Era."
Manbao clicked it subconsciously, and saw a lot of words popping up below instantly.
"What's the use of that thing?"
"Studying ancient literature? They say only people with nothing better to do would study this kind of thing. Can it even make a living? Resources are already scarce, and yet they're still using them to buy this kind of stuff."
"A bunch of idiots, thinking life is just about eating and having sex? Can people without spiritual civilization still be called human beings? I'm trying to find the introduction to "The Glory of the Lin Family," one of the greatest works of the 21st century, in that book..."
Unfortunately, no one listened to what he said, because the floors were quickly stacked up and Manbao could no longer see the information above.
She exited and looked at the constantly refreshing red, green, and yellow text on the interface again. She asked, "So, can I just sell the things I get to them directly in the future?"
"No, the encyclopedia is still collecting new species. After the encyclopedia includes them, it will issue a task, and the research institutes that draw lots will conduct research on the species." Koko said, "But some research institutes or researchers are very interested in the target species after seeing them, but they didn't draw the lottery. They can contact the host on the forum and trade. The encyclopedia will take a portion of the transaction points, and I will also get a commission. The rest goes to the host."
Koko spoke in great detail about this aspect. Because it is impossible to expand the species included with the host's current capabilities, their income mainly depends on quantity and is maintained by the animals and plants that have already been included.
"The host only needs to provide the encyclopedia with one target object. In the past, if the encyclopedia didn't have an entry for a given object, the host would need to add more. There was almost no compensation for these extra objects. But now with the forum, if one target object isn't enough, they can only contact the host and purchase it from the host by paying points."
Manbao's eyes sparkled as he asked, "Are there many points?"
"I don't know, because the forum has just opened. It's a free market, and many of the objects are unique, so there's no fixed price. But I don't think it's too low, but it won't be higher than the inclusion points given by the encyclopedia."
Because the price given by the encyclopedia is the most fair. It has a main system to calculate the value of the target object. Unless there are special circumstances, no research institute or researcher will offer a price higher than that of the encyclopedia.
Manbao quickly saw a subtitle flashing on the interface, and alarm bells rang in his heart, "I just saw someone looking to buy plants. What if other system hosts also have the things I included?"
"No," Keke said with certainty, "There won't be two identical systems that catalog creatures. So even if another host has something like that, they can't trade it. For the sake of system security and to protect the rights of the system, the main system has established strict regulations for the forum."
