Chapter 33



Shen Cui was puzzled and was about to click on the drawing to take a look.

However, the system gave her another prompt - [Viewing the drawings will be deemed as activating the subsequent tasks. The system will release the subsequent tasks within ten days. Do you agree? 】

Just as she was reading this, there was a sudden commotion outside.

This time the scene was even bigger, with a middle-aged man leading a group of people and several horse-drawn carriages behind him.

It's like someone moved.

Wei Xi had just served tea to Lao Buyu when he heard the noise. He looked outside and said apologetically, "It's my housekeeper. He must be bringing me something."

As they were talking, the middle-aged man leading the group came in, bowed and said, "Excuse me, Master, and Madam Mu. The eldest young master asked us to bring some things to the second young master."

Needless to say, this was also Wei Shu's arrangement.

The servants quickly filed in and took out some things Wei Shu needed for daily study and placed them one by one.

The room suddenly became cramped, so Shen Cui didn't continue to check the drawings. She just waved to Mu Erpang to go out with her first.

Wei Xi watched the servants busying in and out, moving everything from pens, ink, paper, and inkstones to desks and bedding into the old house.

In comparison, Mu Erpang, who came earlier than him, had very little.

As he watched, his face darkened. Seeing this, the housekeeper consoled him, "The eldest young master has already agreed to let you study here. Please be considerate of the eldest young master. Only when you have good food and accommodation, the eldest young master and the master and mistress in the capital can rest assured, right?"

Wei Xi naturally knew this, otherwise he would have stopped anyone from entering.

But this kind of behavior is bound to make people unhappy.

Seeing Shen Cui and Mu Erpang leave, Wei Xi felt even more depressed.

He gave up his seat, limped slowly into the house, and leaned against the window in silence.

Soon, he heard the sound of the window being knocked again.

He opened the window a crack and saw Shen Cui and Mu Erpang appear outside again.

Both mother and son had a square scarf tied around their noses. Mu Erpang was holding a branch in his hand, on which was hooked a purse of whose original color could not be seen.

Shen Cui smiled and asked him, "Is this your purse?"

Wei Xi breathed a sigh of relief for some reason, and smiled gently, "Madam, why are you still looking for this?"

"You said you didn't know where you fell, so I guessed you fell into that hole. I went over to look for it, and sure enough, it was there."

Mu Erpang's eyes sparkled, and he took credit for it: "It was my sharp eyes that discovered it!"

Shen Cui glanced at him and said, "I went down and got it out!"

The hole was so narrow that an adult man and a little fat boy like Mu Erpang couldn't get in. Fortunately, she had lost some weight recently, so she could go down so easily.

Mu Erpang touched his fat belly and smiled embarrassedly.

Chen Cui turned to Wei Xi and said, "As long as it's yours, it's fine." As she said that, she took the branch, asked Wei Xi to stand back a few steps, and poured the silver and banknotes inside onto the windowsill.

Isn’t it said that Wei Xi is rich? In his purse, which he didn't pay much attention to, there were also several pieces of silver ingots and several silver bills of considerable value.

"You keep the money yourself. I'll wash the purse and give it to you later."

Shen Cui said, and took out a small bottle from her arms.

The bottle naturally contained medicinal wine. The old doctor in front said that it would be best to rub Wei Xi's feet with medicinal wine.

Last night, Chen Cui and Lao Buyu both asked about his injury, and he just said that it didn't hurt much. Today, Wei Xi even said that after resting for a night, his foot didn't hurt anymore, and he seemed to be able to walk normally. But he had already become the No. 2 training target recognized by the system, and Shen Cui could see his relevant information, and then she realized that he was lying———

He only scored 55 points in the physical fitness column, and it was written in brackets that he was injured and had a serious tendency. If he was not taken care of, it could cause serious consequences.

It turns out that he is a kid with a weak physical condition, but he is also stubborn and strong-willed.

Chen Cui did not expose him directly, but spent 10 shopping points to buy a bottle of medicinal wine from the system mall.

The medicinal wine produced by the system has a bottle that looks much like the products of our time, but the contents are the product of advanced civilization. The description says that although it is only for a single use, it can greatly relieve bruises, strains, or sprains.

"This is what my husband prepared when he was at home. It would be a waste to leave it alone. I heard from the doctor that your foot injury would be best rubbed with medicated oil or wine, so I dug it out at home with great difficulty. Alas, it's a pity that you've already recovered. Isn't it the wrong time to bring it here?"

Wei Xi had been weak since childhood, and what he feared most was seeing others' overly concerned or compassionate eyes, but at this moment he couldn't bear to disappoint the benefactor who had saved him, so he immediately said, "It would be better if Madam didn't say anything. If you did, my feet would really feel a little uncomfortable."

As she said that, Shen Cui stuffed the bottle of medicinal wine directly through the window, "Then you can rest by yourself, we will go back and change clothes first, and come back later."

As the mother and son spoke, they waved to him together.

Wei Xi took the bottle of medicinal wine, pulled out the cork, and couldn't help but think of what Wei Shu had just said to him -

"Why do you think I didn't tell you where Master Lao is? Do you know whose house this is? This is the Mu family, the home of Mu Yunchuan's stepmother and brother!"

"I met his brother once before, and his character is pretty good. But her stepmother has done so many evil things, just ask everyone in the academy, who doesn't know?"

"She is willing to treat a man like Mu Yunchuan cruelly. How can you get away with anything under her nose? I think you are really blinded by greed. Don't turn around and help others count the money after you are sold out!"

The taste of the medicinal wine was very special, but not bad. He sat on the kang, poured the wine into his hands, and slowly rubbed it on his ankles.

Soon, I felt a little warmth around my ankles and felt much more comfortable.

"I want to teach you that in this world the truth is not what others say." Wei Xi whispered to himself.

After delivering the medicinal wine, Shen Cui went home.

I haven’t even looked at the blueprint of the academy rewarded by the system!

After sending Mu Erpang back to his room to change clothes, Shen Cui went to read the text introduction in the system first.

[Item name: Academy blueprint.] 】

[Item introduction: Build an academy according to the blueprint. Reading in the academy can enjoy random benefits, including but not limited to 'peace of mind', 'determination of mind' and other states that make reading more efficient, or increase qualifications or physical fitness values, mood values. Moreover, the host can see the whole picture of the academy at any time and supervise the trainees to study seriously. 】

This is equivalent to changing from the previous single-target gain to a group gain!

But Shen Cui thought that building this academy would definitely not be cheap.

This is a system where a set of tables and chairs costs 500, and a special candle costs 200!

How much does this college cost? It must be tens of thousands?

The system also said that once the blueprint is activated, the construction task will be issued within ten days. Could it be that the task was to complete tens of thousands of shopping points for her within ten days? Now that she has advanced to a higher level, she only gets 300 for each mission!

The system smiled helplessly and said: [Host, don’t think so badly of me. This is part of the main quest. Just like the previous quest, it does not require the host to spend shopping points in the system. You only need to make real efforts. It's just because the construction of the academy requires advance deployment, so the system first sends the blueprint to the host as a reward for the previous task, allowing the host to make arrangements early. 】

Chen Cui let out a long breath, [Why didn't you tell me earlier? I was worrying about it for nothing. It turns out to be a free thing similar to the system teaching aids. 】

As she spoke, Shen Cui opened the drawing.

[Academy Blueprint: Level 1 (level is determined by the total number of students in the academy and can be manually upgraded by the host). 】

[How to use: Just build according to the drawings.] 】

Then there are the construction requirements. Because it is a first-level blueprint, this level of academy does not require anything grand and heroic. It needs to build a classroom, a student dormitory, a teacher dormitory, a leisure activity area...

The old house of the Mu family was quite spacious, so Chen Cui quickly began to plan. The most spacious main room would be used as a classroom. Mu Erpang's desk was currently placed there, so all they had to do was move away the other clutter.

There was no need to build a special dormitory, as Lao Buyu and Wei Xi already slept in separate rooms, one in the east and one in the west.

As for the leisure and activity area, Shen Da and Shen Er agreed to come together to help renovate the old house during the next holiday. At that time, they would help sweep the yard, throw away some old stuff, and free up a piece of space which can be used as a leisure and activity area.

Isn't this mission given in vain?

Chen Cui couldn't help but curl her lips, and the next moment she saw the last thing required by the blueprint - a plaque with the name of the academy (of a normal size that can be clearly seen).

This...this requires hanging up the sign!

She thought she could just plan it secretly. Hanging up a sign doesn't mean announcing to the world that she has opened a college!

In the village school, the old scholar took more than twenty children to study together, but no one dared to say that their home was a school.

Her situation is really bad. A college consisting of one teacher, two students, and a parent who accompanies their children to study is really shameful!

The system said: [If the host is in trouble, do you need my help...]

Shen Cui immediately said no!

Of course not. Putting aside the shame, this mission is easy, costs little, does not require any shopping points, and the rewards returned are quite generous.

Moreover, this academy can be upgraded, and it can be upgraded manually. Since the system has marked this point, it is estimated that it will not force her to upgrade through tasks in the future. If she is able to expand the scale in the future, she should enjoy more benefits.

You'd be a fool not to do this mission!

[Okay, I won’t tease the host anymore. This task cannot be skipped. So host, don't feel embarrassed. Can the help you provide them be less than that provided by other academies? 】

It's no wonder that the system's words hit the nail on the head. Shen Cui suddenly felt justified.

Yes, an academy is not called an academy only when there are many people. Can a place for teaching and educating people not be called an academy just because there are few people?

Not only does he have Lao Buyu, a famous teacher certified by the system, but he also has a system as logistical support, providing high-tech products that are thousands of years ahead of the world to assist them in their studies.

I am fully qualified to build a college!

Later, Chen Cui accompanied Mu Erpang to the old house again. She first sent Mu Erpang away and asked him to go to the house to see Wei Xi. Then she said to Lao Buyu directly: "I want to ask the teacher to help me come up with a name that is suitable for the academy. It would be best if the teacher wrote it in large characters directly, and I will ask someone to do it."

This kind of thing, such as naming people or naming stores, was something that Lao Buyu, who used to be poor, often did, and he has become an expert at it.

He walked directly to the table, pulled out a piece of rice paper, and asked Chen Cui, "What kind of person is the headmaster of that academy? Tell me roughly what his requirements are, and I will think of one now."

Shen Cui touched her nose and said, “The headmaster… is probably someone like me.”

The brush in Lao Buyu's hand fell onto the paper with a plop.
