Chapter 15 On the Villain's Values
Question: How can one become rich if he travels back to ancient times?
Answer: Reciting ancient poems, copying famous books, and inventing things.
In fact, Wei Changtian really wanted to make inventions like the protagonist of the online novel, including glass, cement, gunpowder, and even steam engines, to bring the glory of science and technology to this backward world.
But the fact is, these things are a bit too professional for Wei Changtian. If he has to invent something... black stockings, short skirts, and high heels?
Sure enough, lsp is the primary productive force.
Since I can't invent something, I can only take the first two paths.
Fortunately, Wei Changtian had received a solid nine years of compulsory education, and had some knowledge of the artistic treasures of the 5,000-year-old Chinese civilization in his mind.
It's not the right time to recite poems, but it's okay to copy books.
Anyway, it’s all about making money, so the sooner you start, the better.
As for which of the four great classics to copy... I can't remember "Dream of the Red Chamber"; "Water Margin" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" are too low-level and do not fit the setting of this world; only "Journey to the West" can be considered good.
“…”
"...This golden cudgel weighs 13,000 jin and is the treasure of the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea. However, the Dragon King does not know its wonders..."
"…Just like that, Sun Wukong hid the golden cudgel in his ear and thus obtained this handy weapon…"
Wei Changtian lay on the bed and talked about whatever he thought of. After a while, he came to the part where Sun Wukong got the golden cudgel.
And the number of listeners around him increased.
Originally there was only Lu Jingyao, then Qiuyun and Yuaner joined, and later on, a little girl and a big black dog appeared.
"...Let's stop here for today."
After smacking his dry lips, Wei Changtian turned his head for the first time and was immediately frightened by the four girls and one dog who were looking at him straight in front of him.
"No, when did you come?"
"ah……"
Qiu Yun came back to her senses and lowered her head in embarrassment: "Yuan'er and I just came in to add oil to the candles, and we stayed because we found it interesting."
"Oh, what about you?"
Wei Changtian looked at Wei Qiaoling who was lying on the big black dog's back: "What are you doing here?"
Wei Qiaoling was still immersed in the world of Monkey King, her eyes wide open: "What happened next? What happened after he got the golden cudgel? Big brother, please continue!"
"I'll talk about it tomorrow."
Wei Changtian said helplessly: "If you want to listen, come early tomorrow."
"oh……"
Wei Qiaoling shook her head with some regret, and finally remembered the important matter: "Oh, brother, it was Daddy and Mommy who asked me to come here! They asked me to give this to you!"
"Big ghost! Spit it out now!"
“Ouch!”
The big black dog let out a scream, then quickly opened its mouth as if relieved, and then a porcelain bottle quietly slipped from the dog's mouth to the ground.
“…”
Wei Changtian and Lu Jingyao were both stunned, but Qiuyun and Yuan'er looked as if they were used to it and picked up the bottle with a handkerchief.
"Daddy told you to take one pill a day, and your wound will heal faster!"
Wei Qiaoling boasted proudly, "I overheard Daddy talking to Mommy! Do you want to listen, big brother?"
Wei Changtian was stunned for a moment: "Go ahead..."
"Um!"
Wei Qiaoling reported truthfully: "Dad said that this time the Wei family will lose all their face because of you. Mom said that's what happened!"
"Then Daddy said that it would be good for you to get a little spanking, and Mom said Daddy is talking nonsense!"
"Then Daddy said Mom was right. Mom said she would punish Daddy by making him be on top that night..."
"Stop! Stop it!"
Seeing Qiuyun and Yuan'er trying to hold back their laughter, Wei Changtian quickly waved his hand to interrupt them, saying, "No need to say more!"
"What's wrong..."
Although Wei Qiaoling was a little confused, she pouted and didn't say anything else.
She deliberately dawdled for a while, but when she saw that there was indeed no more monkey story to listen to, she lost interest in staying here.
"Brother, the big ghost and I are going back!"
Wei Changtian had been eager for the young lady to leave quickly, and nodded quickly: "Okay! Let's go! Qiuyun, Yuan'er, send Qiaoling back!"
"Yes, sir."
The two girls left the clean porcelain bottle behind, then pushed the door open and left with Wei Qiaoling...following them was a big black dog that almost blended into the night.
"cough!"
Looking at the somewhat surprised Lu Jingyao, Wei Changtian said awkwardly: "Well, children speak without restraint. Qiaoling is actually quite cute..."
"Big ghost!"
Suddenly, a distant and dissatisfied shout came from outside the window.
"Monkeys can become gods! How can you be so stupid!"
"Look at what I am doing, change now!"
“…”
Wei Changtian: “Haha.”
…
"In fact, the people of the Wei family are not what I thought before."
In the room, Lu Jingyao poured out a round and shiny pill from a porcelain bottle and handed it to Wei Changtian along with a cup of herbal tea.
Wei Changtian swallowed the pill and asked with a smile: "Why? Did you think that everyone in the Wei family was a demon who would kill people every other sentence?"
“It’s not that exaggerated.”
Lu Jingyao hesitated and said, "But rumors in the market..."
"The rumors are all true. My parents, as well as me, have killed many people."
Wei Changtian made no secret of it: "And many of them really didn't deserve to die."
“…”
Lu Jingyao couldn't believe that Wei Changtian could say such a thing so calmly. She couldn't control her emotions for a moment and blurted out, "You, don't you feel guilty?"
"Guilt?"
Wei Changtian was not angry. He just pointed at a bunch of fluff on Lu Jingyao's collar and asked, "What is this fur?"
Lu Jingyao looked confused: "Snow Fox."
Wei Changtian continued to ask: "Do you feel guilty for wearing clothes made of snow fox fur?"
Lu Jingyao was so smart that she immediately understood what Wei Changtian meant.
There was a trace of struggle in her eyes, and she argued softly: "But this is a beast..."
"What about beasts?"
Wei Changtian smiled and said, "Isn't it life? Including the pork, beef, fish and duck you eat every day, aren't they all life?"
"Have you ever felt guilty when you put meat into your mouth?"
“…”
Lu Jingyao was silent now. She felt that what Wei Changtian said made some sense, but she couldn't accept it no matter what. In the end, she could only stammer.
"sophistry……"
"Whatever you think."
Wei Changtian said calmly: "I just want to tell you that in the eyes of some people, the weak are just beasts."
“…”
Lu Jingyao suddenly widened her eyes and murmured, "But, this shouldn't be the case..."
"Maybe I shouldn't."
Wei Changtian thought that this woman didn't have much ability but had a lot of ideas, and said one last thing.
"But this is something that only the strong can decide. No matter how the weak blame or pray, it is useless."
"If you want to change the rules, you have to defeat the people who make the rules first."
…
the next day.
Just as the sky was getting light, Wei Changtian, who had been fighting in his dreams all night, was awakened by the barking of a dog.
When I opened my eyes, it was indeed the little girl Wei Qiaoling.
"Brother, brother! Hurry up and get up and tell a story!"
"Tell a story?"
Wei Changtian looked at the sun that was only halfway up outside the window, and said with a smile: "Qiaoling... I asked you to come earlier, but not this early!"
"ah?"
Wei Qiaoling suddenly became unhappy and rolled on the ground: "No no no! I want to hear the monkey's story!"
Wei Changtian hurriedly advised: "Be obedient, be obedient. Big brother has something to do today. I will tell you when I come back in the afternoon."
Wei Qiaoling pouted and asked, "What could possibly happen to you, brother?"
"this……"
Wei Changtian was stuck for a moment.
I can't say that I'm going to continue to embarrass the Wei family.
But when he looked up and saw Qiuyun and Yuan'er standing at the door holding copper basins and waiting to come in to wash and change clothes for him, he suddenly had the answer in his mind.
Perhaps he wanted to become stronger before just to deal with Xiao Feng.
But now...
