"Little brother, that's three cents."
"By the way, you're wearing a green robe, so you must be a student at the Imperial Academy, right? Why don't you buy a dictionary? It's a must-have for every scholar!"
"I have already obtained the title of scholar."
Chen Ping looked at the salesman who was diligently selling his products and replied apologetically that although he received a subsidy from the academy, it was only enough for daily expenses and he would not spend it arbitrarily.
The guy's smile froze, and he quickly changed his words, took out a dictionary, opened it, and tried to persuade him seriously.
"This treasure book is extremely useful to those who study. Why don't you read it? It will definitely be worth it!"

"Ghost, ghost!"
“Help! Help!”
"Shopkeeper, I'm not a ghost, I'm here to buy books..."
"...Do even ghosts have to study and take exams these days..."
Tian Shu was so frightened that his eyes rolled back and he fainted on the ground with a thud, leaving Zhou Bo scratching his head in confusion.
