Chapter 29: This is how a winner in life wins?
The more Lü Yao studied the alchemical knowledge provided by the system, the more engrossed he became.
Lu Yao didn't know where the knowledge in this system came from, but it was very advanced.
Although the alchemy faction developed later, its limits, achievements, and philosophies are very advanced in the world in which alchemy exists.
The only thing that bothered Lü Yao was that much of the knowledge contained within was too difficult to understand.
of course.
Lü Yao also knew.
The essence of this problem is not a problem of the alchemy school, but a problem of Lü Yao's own talent and comprehension.
Without the help of the "life winner," Lü Yao wouldn't have been able to learn the basics of alchemy in a short time, let alone master the basics of alchemy. He would have needed an unknown amount of time just to get started with a single book, "General Knowledge of Alchemy."
To tell the truth.
Being a winner in life is already amazing.
But the problem is that life's problems often catch you off guard.
That's Lu Yao's current situation.
Or rather, his current situation is partly a result of being a "winner in life".
The saying "the tallest tree in the forest will be felled by the wind" probably means the same thing.
It took Lü Yao more than an hour, but he still couldn't get through a single paper on "materials transformation analysis" until his head started to ache, at which point he had to stop studying.
If even the basics of alchemy are this difficult, I can't imagine what it would be like if the system directly injected the entire knowledge of the alchemy school into my brain...
Perhaps the brain would melt instantly like cream under the onslaught of such a massive flood of information.
From this perspective...
The system's segmented feeding method allows Lü Yao time to ponder and study these contents, which is a form of protection for Lü Yao.
But since the system is so powerful, why the hell doesn't it just upgrade itself to become Homelander?
Am I not a winner in life?
Making me invincible isn't out of the question!
As Lu Yao lay back in his chair, rubbing his temples, he thought to himself, "Sure enough, there's no limit to how lazy a person can be. If you get a thousand coins, you want ten thousand; if you become emperor, you want to become an immortal... This saying is truly the ultimate truth."
No wonder laziness is one of the seven deadly sins.
As Lü Yao raised the level of his alchemy scholar, he needed more and more experience, and the general experience he received from breathing every day was no longer enough.
So ultimately, the crux of the problem lies with those who are winners in life.
Without unlocking and upgrading the main career level of the system, the other aspects are becoming increasingly difficult to progress.
After a moment of thought, Lü Yao understood.
He was wrong.
He's like a cultivator in a fantasy novel, obsessed with alchemy and swordsmanship, forgetting that improving his cultivation level is the most important thing.
Thank goodness.
Life has a fairly high margin for error, and Lü Yao realized his mistake relatively early.
So, what I should do now is to quickly max out my reputation.
But prestige can only be built through victories...
and many more!
Thinking of this, Lü Yao suddenly slapped his forehead and couldn't help but curse himself, "Idiot!"
What a winner in life!
From the very beginning, the solution to the system was in the system's name.
However, he was misled by that idiot Li Qi'an and thought that only winning the battle counted as a victory.
But since we're going to win anyway, why not win?
Thinking of this, Lü Yao got up and left the alchemy workshop on the second floor, and went to the door of the attic room to knock on Nangong Lili's door.
"Knock knock knock..."
Nangong Lili's voice came from behind the door: "What?"
Lü Yao: "No way."
Immediately following were heavy, slightly angry footsteps approaching the door. Nangong Lili flung the door open and said rudely, "What do you want to do so late at night?"
Lu Yao pushed open the door and went in: "I need your help with something."
At this moment, Nangong Lili had changed into... well, a cute but form-fitting pajama set. The small pajama T-shirt and small pajama pants made her look very approachable.
In addition, Nangong Lili has a slender and petite figure, but she is well-endowed, which makes her look very curvy and bouncy.
Nangong Lili crossed her arms and approached Lü Yao with a slightly provocative and teasing look: "Oh? What kind of help do you need so late at night?"
Lü Yao laughed and said, "Let's play rock-paper-scissors."
Nangong Lili: "Huh?"
Lü Yao reiterated confidently, "Rock-paper-scissors, you know how, right?"
Nangong Lili was completely dumbfounded: "Are you sick in the head?! Are you out of your mind?!"
Lü Yao laughed and said, "I'll leave if you beat me three times."
Nangong Lili's face twitched: "Fine! I'll beat you three times in a row."
As she spoke, Nangong Lili took a step back and began chanting, "Rock, paper, scissors!"
As the sound of "paper" fell, Lü Yao and Nangong Lili threw punches at the same time. Lü Yao threw paper, while Nangong Lili threw a fist.
Just then, a system notification appeared before Lü Yao's eyes:
[Reputation from Nangong Lili +10]
what!
The moment he saw the system notification, Lü Yao felt as if his cerebral cortex had relaxed.
Is this how a winner in life wins?
I really was overthinking things before.
After winning the first round, Nangong Lili didn't take it seriously. Although this kind of game also depends on skill and psychological warfare, it's impossible for anyone to win all the time.
So Nangong Lili continued, shaking her fist as she spoke, "Rock, paper, scissors!"
this time.
Nangong Lili continued to play stones, while Lü Yao continued to play cloth.
[Reputation from Nangong Lili +10]
After seeing Lü Yao win two rounds in a row, Nangong Lili became noticeably more serious, rubbing her hands together: "Rock, paper, scissors..."
This time, Nangong Lili still refused to believe in the superstition of the Stone, and Lü Yao once again predicted Nangong Lili's prediction.
[Reputation from Nangong Lili +15]
Huh?
They actually increased?
When Lü Yao looked at Nangong Lili again, it was clear that Nangong Lili had become serious.
This is also a situation that easily occurs when playing rock-paper-scissors. Although rock-paper-scissors is a very simple game, so simple that even five or six-year-old children can play it, when someone can beat you several times in a row, then this simple game changes.
When repeatedly defeated in complex matters, people can always find excuses to comfort themselves.
That's difficult, after all.
But when someone loses three games in a row while playing such a simple game, the person who has lost several times in a row will have their competitive spirit completely ignited.
Nangong Lili's competitive spirit had clearly been ignited. She frowned, clapped her hands, and said, "Again!"
"Rock, paper, scissors!"
This time, Nangong Lili finally changed into cloth.
But Lü Yao once again anticipated Nangong Lili's prediction about him, so Lü Yao played the scissors.
[Reputation from Nangong Lili +20]
Hey!
Five more points?
interesting.
Lu Yao was secretly delighted.
Nangong Lili, who had lost the game of rock-paper-scissors again, was already a little flushed. She gritted her teeth and said, "Again!"
But Lü Yao stopped and said with a smile, "It's getting late, let's go to sleep. We can play again tomorrow."
Nangong Lili: "???"
Are you even a human being?
