Chapter 309: Learning for the Rise of Zhulu Kingdom

The passage of time in the simulator is different in different eras.

For example, in the last era, ten years in the Yao clan world was equivalent to one day in the current world.

But after the second era update, it takes twelve years in the Yao clan world to be equal to one day in the real world.

The Yao clan unified the calendar, making the passage of time in the pixel world clearer and more intuitive.

Lu Yao found Shi Bao.

Shi Bao is now an octogenarian. He returned to Yancheng from Baibao and worked part-time as a mathematics lecturer in the School of Engineering. He is still the prophet who is most integrated with the masses.

The old prophet was leaning on a cane and giving a lecture in a small room: "The relationship between numbers and words is inseparable. It can be traced back to the "Brief History of Tribes" recorded by the astrologer Shah Khan."

"In the Tribal Trading Code written by Shang Li, numbers have officially become a science. Every number is given a special meaning and can represent everything we see and are familiar with."

"But the development of mathematics has always been tortuous. The Yao people have made continuous breakthroughs in various fields, but this ancient basic knowledge has stagnated for a long time and has not formed a rich system."

“Who can tell me why this happened?”

Shi Bao looked down at the stage.

A student raised his hand.

“Because math is too hard!”

This caused many people to laugh.

“That’s right.”

Shi Bao asked, "Anything else?"

Another student said, “I think it has something to do with the divine book.”

"Oh? Tell me more about it."

Shi Bao motioned for the other party to continue.

The student stood up and said, "God Yao bestowed upon us a gift. The divine book that records many divine texts has been tried by many Yao scholars to decipher, but to no avail."

"I looked through the relevant records in the library, which said that scholars are mainly divided into two schools. One is dedicated to studying the divine text in the book, and the other is focused on deciphering the divine runes in the book."

"Each of those divine texts and divine symbols is extremely mysterious and profound, and the divine book needs to be linked together to be truly understood. Three eras have passed, and scholars still have no idea how to solve it."

"The characters and words on the divine book also caused numbers and words to stagnate for a long time, because going further might be the realm of gods, which is not an area that humans can touch. Out of fear and worry, most scholars would stop."

Shi Bao asked him, "Did you come up with all of this yourself?"

"Yes."

The student said: "I also often go to museums, hoping to get inspiration from the sacred books. But... it's too difficult."

Lu Yao remembered this 16-year-old student.

His name is Jiujian, which is a very sharp name.

The one who said that math was too difficult was a female pixelated person named Shang Meng. She sat in the last row, her head was a mess, and she seemed to be having trouble following the thinking.

Shi Bao leaned on his cane and said, "I don't know what is recorded in the sacred book. But the birth and progress of mathematics actually came from disasters."

"Everyone should know that the appearance of the disaster beast caused the Yao tribe to go through a very difficult period. Many people died due to floods, droughts and landslides."

"At this time, we only know how many people were killed by the disaster, but we cannot make people who have not experienced it realize how terrible natural disasters are."

“However, the combination of numbers and letters can do it.”

“The flood killed two people, and that’s how it was described and recorded in the past.”

He paused and said: "The flood caused the death of two people, one of whom was a 6-year-old child and the other was the child's 26-year-old mother."

"What's the difference between these two sentences?"

Shi Bao looked at the students around him and said, "The latter is more accurate because the combination of numbers and words can convey things that cannot be seen with our own eyes more accurately. This is a simple application of mathematics."

"The higher level of usage is to design and build houses, make metal farm tools, and even buy food in your daily life. For example, there are two adjacent streets, East Street has 2 meat patties and 1 seashell, while West Street has 4 meat patties and 3 seashells. What would you choose?"

"West Street, of course!"

Amidst the unified voices, there was a discordant statement: “I vote for East Street!”

The speaker is a business geek who previously found math difficult.

She said: "One person can only eat one meat pie. Normally, one meat pie is enough for an adult. If you go to West Street to buy it, you have to pay 3 more shells, and there is a lot of inventory pressure."

"The meat patties can't be kept for too long and have to be eaten within two days, so the three for four seashells is a thin profit margin for the merchants and should not be considered by the buyers."

Lu Yao could only say that she was indeed a child of a merchant family. She might feel painful when discussing pure mathematics, but when it came to specific business matters, her reaction became sharp.

"You are all right."

A smiley face appeared above Shi Bao's head. "The reason why we chose West Street was purely based on price. The reason why we chose East Street was based on more complex conditions and analysis. There is mathematics behind them. You came to different conclusions because you used different numbers and words as references."

“That’s where mathematics comes in.”

"You are the future of the Yao clan. You will plan your own future. I believe that you will also calculate the width and depth of the ocean. One day, you will even be able to measure the sun in the sky..."

“I hope you will not forget mathematics. It will not deceive you. As long as you learn it, it will give you results.”

Seeing this scene, Lu Yao thought of the "Advanced Mathematics" in the Yancheng Museum.

Maybe in the future of the pixel world, there will really be a mathematician who will decipher it, allowing the tool library of the higher-dimensional world to truly unfold in the lower-dimensional world.

…

Lu Yao clicked the mouse and switched the screen back to the Sand City.

Shi Bao developed the subject of mathematics, which was a slight distraction.

At present, Lu Yao’s focus is on the issue of talent flow between the two divine kingdoms, the Yao clan and the Ring Realm group.

He looked down at the sky above Sand City and quickly found the migrant workers from the foreign kingdom of God in Sand City.

Lushan and Zhuhu and their group from Zhulu Country were planting cacti and building desert huts in the north of the city. They had gradually come to terms with the cacti with their backs, but they couldn't communicate in the same language, so they still had to rely on [Blast Furnace Honey Wine].

Compared with these two, the other reed dwellers were complaining bitterly.

"It's so hot, it's like a furnace in here."

“Brother Lushan, since no one sees us, let’s just take a break. The cacti are doing the work, and they are not afraid of getting tired at all.”

"That's right, there's so little water here, and it's hot and dry. I'm dying of thirst."

Facing the complaints and requests of his fellow tribesmen, Lushan said: "Everyone should work honestly and remember not to be lazy."

Zhu Hu was even more ruthless: "If you can't bear the hardship, then go back as soon as possible and don't bring shame to Zhu Lu Country. Sand City is not a place for you to come and enjoy, you'd better understand it!"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The reed farmers no longer dared to complain and just worked hard.

Lushan comforted him, saying, "Fellow countrymen, we are here to learn. The knowledge of planting, construction, smelting, and exploration here is what Zhulu Kingdom urgently needs."

"We will face very difficult tests, but I hope everyone can remember to study for the rise of Zhulu Kingdom!"

“All the knowledge, skills and experiences here may have a huge impact on the Kingdom of God where we live, so we must seize every opportunity to learn.”

"We came to Sand City not to stay here, but to go back and build our own Sand City in Zhulu Country!"

These words calmed the reed dwellers' annoyance, and they all became serious.

Lu Yao moved his view again and looked at the only ghost in the ghost world, the ghost doctor Bingjiao.

At this time, Bianjiao was receiving treatment.

Three Yao doctors wearing ghost armor surrounded him and placed him on a bed.

All the doctors in Sand City are ghost scholars.

One of the doctors asked him, "How do you feel now?"

"I feel... much more comfortable. I no longer feel weak and sleepy. It's just that after the injection of the medicine, my whole body is a little itchy, and the wound hurts a little."

The weakness on Bingjiao's head has disappeared, and his health points have recovered from 161 to 172.

"It seems that the [Blood Mixture] is indeed effective."

"However, we are using a mixture of poisonous blood bred with Aedes mosquitoes, which may have side effects and require long-term observation."

"The Funeral Clan is very close to the Ghouls. Perhaps it would be better to make a [Blood Mixture] based on the Ghouls' blood."

"To find the special blood source, we can only ask the mayor for help."

"You can also try other medicines and do a control course of treatment."

Bingjiao saw the Yao Clan doctors discussing something, and a confused look appeared on his forehead: "...I thought I was here to treat ghosts, but I didn't expect to become the one being treated by you."

A ghost scholar said: "Doctors cannot heal themselves. Everyone has their own specialties. When we were in the old empire, we often dealt with various difficult and complicated diseases. The Bo people fought wars for many years in the past, and their weak medical system could not withstand the losses of war."

"Have a good rest, pay attention to your physical condition at all times, and call us if you feel any discomfort."

The doctors said and left.

Bingjiao was lying alone on the bed, with an oval-shaped thought box floating above his head.

"The Yao tribe can actually cure this terminal illness. Lord Buluo is right. From now on, no one will die from the funeral tribe because of treating ghosts..."

"But why is this happening? The ghosts here are completely different from those in the ghost world."

"What is a potion? I have no idea."

“Are there so many kinds of medicine in this world?”

“Am I a doctor or a patient?”

“Is my job to be a healer or a researcher?”

Questions popped up one after another above the heads of the pixelated figures of the funeral tribe.

…

Lu Yao yawned and glanced at the time.

It’s twelve thirty-two in the middle of the night.

It's time to rest.

Just as he was about to get up and wash up, a reminder popped up in the simulator.

[Pasha found the Longxu Passage: Zhou Island. ]

【Positioning completed.】

Lu Yao was cheered up and immediately entered the world-dimensional space.

On the coordinate system displayed on the dashboard, a yellow light spot is quite eye-catching, and it is very close to the green dot of the Yao clan's vortex world.

The location given by Pasha showed that the channel world called Zhou Island was just ahead.

However, in the realm of world-dimensional space, there is only black nothingness.
