Longevity starts with learning

Entering the mine, it was another day of one carrot and one pit.

For Chu Mu, it was... a book, a morning, and an afternoon.

As the number of words he knew increased, Chu Mu could clearly feel that his progress in learning words was also slowly accelerating.

The system similar to the Chinese characters in his previous life increased the difficulty of learning, but to some extent, it also made it easier for Chu Mu to think logically about it. After all, the original owner was simply illiterate, and he still knew clearly how to read and say it.

One day passed quietly in the book.

For the next ten days, life was still as regular as before, without waves or changes.

Arriving in the morning, returning at sunset, reading, practicing martial arts...

Time passed slowly in such a regular and abundant manner, and the little coolness left in the autumn wind also completely turned into the coldness of winter as time passed.

...

"It's snowing..."

Under the eaves, Chu Mu looked up at the sky. Wherever he looked, there were snowflakes all over the sky, and a thin layer of white frost had already covered the courtyard.

Chu Mu tightened his clothes, turned around slowly, and walked into the room.

The charcoal fire in the room had already been lit, and along with the flickering flames, the rolling warmth was also rising in the room.

Chu Mu walked to the charcoal fire and sat down, picked up the book on the table beside him, and flipped through it silently.

It has been more than half a month since I started reading. Although I have not yet fully achieved my learning goals, I can barely read this enlightenment book despite my stumbling.

This reading is naturally not the reading that I couldn’t read a sentence fluently like before, but a reading that roughly understands its meaning.

Although there are still some stumblings, at least the hat of illiteracy can be taken off.

Walking on the street, Chu Mu can recognize those signs, not like reading a book from heaven.

It took nearly half an hour to finish flipping through a book. Chu Mu held the book and recalled it carefully for a long time before closing the book.

He looked around the room, then habitually chanted in his heart, and the light curtain panel emerged.

The light curtain panel at this time has a lot of differences in the values ​​compared to half a month ago.

[Name: Chu Mu. ]

[Skills:

Basic swordsmanship (beginner) 93/100]

[Spiritual brilliance value: 432.6%]

Looking at the values ​​on the panel that have changed greatly, Chu Mu couldn't help but get a little excited.

The proficiency of basic swordsmanship naturally comes from daily diligent practice.

Except for the unfamiliar stage when just practicing, it can basically increase by six or seven points every day, and sometimes even more than ten points.

However, as the swordsmanship becomes more and more proficient, the increase in skill proficiency has become slower and slower.

In recent days, even if Chu Mu has increased the time of practice, the proficiency increased by only two or three points a day.

Such changes, Chu Mu naturally guessed.

After all, his proficiency value is only a specific reflection of the progress of practice, not the proficiency panel in the online articles he read in his previous life, which can be improved unlimitedly.

As for this sword technique, except for the memory of the original owner, Chu Mu is undoubtedly the first time to contact it. He is not a genius and obviously cannot learn it without a teacher.

All along, he has been practicing one sword at a time with great effort, and everything depends on his own thinking.

Under such circumstances, it is obviously normal for the proficiency to increase more and more slowly.

As for the growth of "Spiritual Brilliance Value", it is much more normal. In twelve hours a day, he spends at least five hours reading and practicing martial arts. Converted into hours, it is ten hours of concentration a day.

Long-term concentration naturally brings about a surge in "Spiritual Brilliance Value". On average, it can basically increase by about 30% every day.

Limited by the progress of reading and literacy, Chu Mu is reluctant to waste "Spiritual Brilliance Value".

As for this sword technique, Chu Mu plans to practice it by himself until he is close to a breakthrough, and then use "Spiritual Brilliance Blessing" to break through in one fell swoop.

Therefore, the "Spiritual Brilliance Value" accumulated in the past half month has been saved.

Of course, the fundamental reason why Chu Mu dared to keep saving it was also due to the whimsical idea in the mine.

Although the spiritual brilliance value was wasted in vain, it also made him know that the state of "Spiritual Brilliance Blessing" can be cancelled at any time, rather than saying that once it is turned on, it must be consumed.

It is precisely because of this that Chu Mu dared to keep saving it. Otherwise, Chu Mu would not dare to try it. After all, the feeling of being drained by the first "Spiritual Brilliance Blessing" is still vivid.

"Reading, practicing martial arts, then read first."

Chu Mu glanced at the "Spiritual Brilliance Value" on the light screen panel, and made a decision in his heart. Saving it will not produce offspring, and using it in time is the kingly way.

Chu Mu sat down behind the desk, and the enlightenment book that he had read countless times was also held in his hand again.

Chu Mu looked serious and focused, just like usual, but this time, there seemed to be a little more elusive depth in Chu Mu's eyes.

He turned the pages of the book one by one, and the speed of turning the pages was obviously much faster than usual. He read ten lines at a glance, one page after another.

If Mr. Chang from the private school saw this scene, he would definitely scold him.

Swallowing a book without thinking, knowing only the words but not the meaning, is a taboo in reading.

Although Chu Mu read books only to learn to read, he also cares about it. After all, in the ancient language system, every word is a pearl. There is a world of difference between learning to read and understanding the meaning.

However, in a sense, Chu Mu was just swallowing the whole thing during the half-month of reading. His biggest goal was to learn the words, not the meaning. However, this swallowing was covered by Chu Mu's seriousness.

And now, under the "spiritual light blessing", the half-month of swallowing the whole thing is also about to bear fruit.

As the pages of the book turned, Chu Mu's mind was also turning rapidly. The knowledge in the book, what Mr. Chang said in class, and all the knowledge he had learned were all intertwined and bursting out at this moment,

learning the words... understanding the meaning.

The knowledge learned for more than half a month, as well as all the swallowing, were also quickly integrated at this moment.

I don't know how long it took, when the book was closed, the mysterious depth in Chu Mu's eyes also dissipated.

Chu Mu was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes looked at the light screen panel in his field of vision.

[Name: Chu Mu. ]

[Skills:

Basic swordsmanship (beginners) 93/100]

[Spiritual brilliance value: 220.3%]

Then, Chu Mu seemed to remember something, and immediately turned his head to look at the hourglass on the table.

The time division in this world is the same as in the ancient times of the previous life, all divided by hours. The twelve hours of a day are Zishi, Choushi, Yinshi, Maoshi, Chenshi, Sishi, Wushi, Weishi, Shenshi, Youshi, Xushi, and Haishi.

One hour is equivalent to two hours in the future, and under the hour, the time unit is Ke, and a quarter of an hour is approximately equivalent to fifteen minutes in the previous life.

The hourglass in front of him has three scales on it. When each interval is leaked, it means that a quarter of time has passed.

At the moment, the second interval of the hourglass has leaked more than half, and only a little is left.

Chu Mu remembered that before the "Spiritual brilliance" blessing, the "Spiritual brilliance value" was more than 430%, and now the "Spiritual brilliance value" is more than 220% left.

In other words, the blessing time for 100% of the "Spiritual Brilliance Value" should be about a quarter of an hour...
