Chapter 14 Dictionary

"Hurry, let go, I'm going to be suffocated. I'm fine, but I'm in a bad mood." Ace struggled powerlessly.

"Oh." Marina hurriedly let go of Ace, "What's the matter? Was it rejected by some girl?"

"I'm still a child," Ace said dissatisfied, "I've been working on a dictionary recently. Some difficulties will not be solved for a while, and I'm just in a bad mood."

"Mom doesn't understand what a dictionary is, but I know my son is the smartest and will definitely solve it. Now you hurry up and go to dinner, I'll clean up." Marina said with a doting face.

Ace finally lifted a corner of the mysterious veil of the extraordinary world. He began to write a diary in this world for the first time, using the words of his previous life.

In his diary, he recorded in detail the formula of the Ace version of the smart potion, the formula of poison, the data of mouse tests and the dosage and changes of the edible potion. Finally, he wrote in his diary:

"Although I have successfully achieved spiritual interference in matter, I cannot explain this phenomenon. I cannot indulge in the joy of obtaining extraordinary powers, and should calm down and think about it.

Which component of the wisdom potion plays a decisive role? Is there any alternative or better competitor? Why can mental power interfere with matter? What exactly are monsters? Why do they have extraordinary power? What is the essence of extraordinary? Why do they travel through time? Why are the two worlds different?

I should ask a few more questions. Although it is impossible to answer now, as long as I insist on objective and neutral research, one day I will explore the truth of the world and answer the above questions one by one.”

After several days of experiments, Ace found that once this ability similar to mind power is used too much, it will cause a splitting headache. However, after using it with all your strength, the ability will be improved a little. After continuous experiments, Ace found a simple method to enhance mental power, which he called the mental power exercise method.

Use mental power to drive as many items of different types as possible until the mental power is close to exhaustion, stop and relax and rest. Then eat a lot of meat and keep an ethereal (daily) state. The mental power will be restored at a faster speed and the upper limit will be increased to a certain extent.

In essence, it is similar to mortals' physical exercise. Physical exercise is to achieve the purpose of strengthening the body through high-intensity exercise and balanced nutrition, and mental power can also be like this.

This should be just the most superficial method. Perhaps extraordinary creatures have better methods. Perhaps they need to capture some living low-level monsters with special abilities for experiments, Ace thought.

He was already a little impatient, but the time is still not ripe. After all, he was not an adult and his fighting skills were not perfect enough. He was not qualified to be a witch hunter. As for acquiring living low-level monsters, it was even more difficult and he didn't have enough wallets.

Ace thought calmly and decided to compile the dictionary first, promote it to the Cultural and Education Hall through Teacher Peter, and strive for the rewards from the city-state.

After a significant improvement in mental power, Ace's overall understanding, association, memory and reaction have been greatly improved. In the past, reading books carefully once could only remember roughly. Now, as long as you just need to repeat them, you can quickly memorize and understand them all, and many things can be understood at one point.

Peter has said many times that Ace has made great progress and it would be a pity not to specialize in studying.

At the end of October, Peter's villa in the first block, Peter and Ace completed the final proofreading of the first edition of the "Dictionary of Common Vocabulary Common Words",

The cover of the book is written, written by Peter and Ace, and the title page says, "Dedicated to every scholar who yearns for knowledge and loves wisdom."

Looking at the freshly released dictionary, even people like Peter who are more serious in daily life showed a gratifying smile.

"This is a book that changes learning methods, a very basic reference book. Our teachers and students will leave their names in the history of the Medemus city-state. As this book slowly spreads, scholars from other city-states will also know and praise us.

From today on, you will be a qualified scholar. I will apply for academic status from the Department of Culture and Education for you, and there is no need to worry about citizenship." Peter said kindly to Ace.

"Everything is here to go, the teacher." Ace replied with a slightly bow.

"This is an epoch-making masterpiece, plain and important. The goddess of wisdom said that reading good books makes people wise and humble, enrich themselves and confident, and books are the source of wisdom. This dictionary will redefine learning, it is a ship for beginners to navigate the ocean of knowledge."

Dawen instructor Gailu highly praised the birth of the dictionary. He was Peter's close friend and was very satisfied with the "Dictionary of Common Vocabulary" co-written by Peter and his students.

Ace's father's resentment in citizenship will also be resolved. Ace received the gold city-state contribution medal issued by the Cultural and Educational Department, which is equivalent to the great merit of beheading a hundred people. He was also recognized by the Cultural and Educational Department as a city-state scholar. This is a special public office, enjoying special allowances, a high status, and rewarded a two-story villa in the first block with only the front yard. As long as this lasts for three years, Ace can become a formal citizen.

The Ace family moved into the first block, and Romon looked at the new home in the first block, and tears couldn't help but roll in his eyes.

What he did not do, his son did for him, and the glory of his ancestors did not decline. From Ace, all three generations of people will be citizens. Marina was also extremely excited. Her son's status was getting higher and higher and his ability became greater. As a mother, she felt very proud.

A few days later, Peter's study.

"Ace, you won't have to pay tuition in the future. I think you can get a teacher. My disciple's standard for getting a teacher is to pass the city-state professional exam. I think you can easily pass the city-state language professional exam and get the language practice badge. Of course, if you still want to study medicine, I will recommend you to follow Tyros to learn medical skills early next year."

"I will take the language major exam, but I still hope to be a great doctor. Saving lives and helping the wounded is my lifelong ideal. I heard that Dr. Tyros must start with an apprentice. I may not have enough time and hope to hire a doctor to study three days a week."

Ace already has a stable special allowance and can afford the cost of hiring a tutor.

"Haha, don't worry. You are a city-state scholar after all, how could you become an apprentice again? I will agree to Tyros that you go to his place to study medical skills three days a week and don't need to do chores. The tuition may be relatively expensive, and it is impossible to study for free like an apprentice."

"Everything is subject to your arrangement. Teacher Peter, I have a suggestion that dictionary is of great significance to scholars and there are definitely many people who need it. Even if we strictly prohibit it, it is impossible to avoid stolen recordings. It is better to just open the dictionary in the Cultural and Educational Hall and allow everyone to copy for free."

"This is indeed conducive to the spread of dictionary, and we can also gain a lot of fame, but it loses the benefits we deserve, which is not in line with my philosophy."

"I have a way to make up for our losses. After observation, I found that the nobles often use heraldic seals to sign seals. Why don't we promote this method to books? We can print dictionary directly without copying books, engraving the wooden seals of the dictionary, and directly printing dictionaries. This is both efficient and unified. As long as the carving is correct, all printed dictionaries are accurate. As long as the workmanship is well done and the price is reasonable, who will copy them by himself?"

"Ace, you have so many wonderful ideas. Sometimes you really want to slap your head. We can invest together. You are responsible for the management. How about half of the profits?"
