Lethal Stunner: Kicking Off with Five Beast Husbands

Chapter 247: Chapter 247 Stuffing Knowledge into the Brain

"Class? Teaching how to pilot warships and kill the Insect Clan?" Caicai asked, puzzled.

"Not just that," Xiao Jinsheng replied. "There are also cultural lessons."

After the apocalypse, the females on the Mist Continent fared better; they received systematic education in shelters.

But it was different for the Beastmen. They only studied for three years before being driven out to fend for themselves.

After leaving the Terminal’s control, whether they continued to study depended entirely on them.

The world they lived in was all about fighting and survival, so they leaned more toward learning survival skills.

Xiao Jinsheng found that among the Beastmen, very few had the cultural knowledge of her nine Beast Husbands.

"We’re not teaching anything too profound," Xiao Jinsheng explained. "It’s just bringing some knowledge from my previous world here, so everyone can be filled with positive energy and use emotions to resist the Terminal."

It might not completely balance against the Terminal,

but at least, after the Superpower Levels improved, they wouldn’t be as passive if they ever faced the Terminal.

Even if they died, they couldn’t let the Terminal kill them so easily.

So Xiao Jinsheng tasked Caicai with finding books from her past world on psychology, morality, and similar topics.

Then, through the Star System Map, she distributed them to every survivor bound to an Intelligent Brain.

After fighting the Fog Corpses, they could have a look.

After killing the Insect Clan, they could study a bit.

This knowledge—surely, at least some of it would make its way into their minds.

"If others need to learn, you also need to study properly," Lou Yan Zhi’s voice traveled slowly closer from afar.

Yu Yunxiao looked at him suspiciously. "Didn’t you leave?"

Xiao Jinsheng had bound an Intelligent Brain to each of her Beast Husbands. Lou Yan Zhi had insisted on a binding slot too, saying he wanted to stroll outside the castle.

With his Fifteen Star strength,

and riding a cockroach mount,

even when he encountered Fog Corpses or the Insect Clan, they were the ones fleeing for their lives.

But somehow, every time he left, he would return not long after.

"There are too many people outside," Lou Yan Zhi replied.

During his days of being Long Aotian, he’d gotten used to avoiding people.

Even though he no longer needed to act as Long Aotian, Lou Yan Zhi still disliked meeting others.

He missed the Insect Clan.

But the moment he thought about meeting them, he couldn’t stop himself from drawing his sword.

And so, the idea of playing with the Insect Clan was dismissed.

Staying in the Demon Territory freeloading off meals seemed better.

"I’ll teach you something in exchange for meals," Lou Yan Zhi slumped on the sofa, speaking lazily.

"Swordsmanship?" Xiao Jinsheng asked.

"Swordsmanship is already part of the deal for unbinding my system," Lou Yan Zhi said, gazing at the jewels embedded in the ceiling. "You need to learn to cultivate spiritual power."

As soon as he said this, Que Zelian and Yu Yunxiao both looked at him warily.

Feeling the hostility in their gazes, Lou Yan Zhi sat up from the sofa, confused. "What are you staring at me for?"

"I’m not begging for charity. What’s wrong with trading skills for some food?"

"Is living off skills shameful?"

"Who are you looking down on?"

Faced with Lou Yan Zhi’s aggressive questioning, Que Zelian calmly responded, "Is the spiritual power you’re talking about different from the Mist Continent’s way of improving spiritual power?"

"Across countless worlds, isn’t strength ultimately pursued through various means?" Lou Yan Zhi countered.

Not wanting to continue scrounging for meals forever,

Lou Yan Zhi straightened his posture and earnestly explained, "Something’s wrong with the spiritual power on the Mist Continent."

"I just saw some transported females outside," noveldrama

"and I realized that your spiritual power has been tampered with."

"It’s like in the Cultivation World—someone with a Water Spirit Root forcefully turned into having a Fire Spirit Root. Naturally, this creates conflict with the body."

"And your spiritual power improvement doesn’t use the Mist Continent’s Star Stone energy either."

"I noticed something," Lou Yan Zhi lifted his gaze toward Xiao Jinsheng. "Your spiritual power growth depends on emotions, doesn’t it?"

"Ahem, yes," Xiao Jinsheng hid her discomfort and replied flatly, "It’s influenced by positive emotions."

"But the Terminal you’re fighting controls emotions," Lou Yan Zhi chuckled lightly. "Are you not concerned that relying on emotions for spiritual power growth might be yet another trap planted by the Terminal?"

With that, all three of them instantly became alert.

This issue—they genuinely hadn’t considered it before.

"I have a Cultivation World spiritual power cultivation secret manual. It uses the original force of your local world to grow. I can teach you," Lou Yan Zhi raised an eyebrow. "Do you want to learn?"

"Yes!" Xiao Jinsheng nodded firmly.

No matter what,

it was always good to learn another skill.

Take Lou Yan Zhi as an example—kicked out of the system with nothing to his name, penniless now—

a skill turned out to be the only thing he could rely on to avoid begging.

If he hadn’t gained skills, he’d only be able to eat the food that his cockroach mount scavenged for him.

"But aren’t you from the Cultivation World? Why do you still need to eat?" Xiao Jinsheng asked curiously. "Don’t cultivators practice fasting?"

"You sure know a lot about the Cultivation World," Lou Yan Zhi said, piqued.

"Because I love learning," Xiao Jinsheng nodded resolutely.

"Then let’s start learning now," Lou Yan Zhi, now in a good mood, didn’t feel like slacking anymore.

As he got up, he noticed the airplane ears on Yu Yunxiao, who was staring at him.

He tilted his head in confusion. "Do you want to learn too?"

"If you want to learn, that’s fine," Lou Yan Zhi pondered, coming up with an idea. "Let’s make a deal—give me one million 20-star Healing Potions, and I’ll teach you."

"Healing Potions?" Yu Yunxiao was puzzled.

"In the Interstellar World, Healing Ability Users can store their healing power in containers and sell it, " Lou Yan Zhi explained.

"They’re portable and can be used in emergencies."

After all, it’s impossible to assign a Healing Ability User to every single person.

But everyone could carry a Healing Potion.

One million 20-star Healing Potions.

Lou Yan Zhi was confident.

These potions, once taken back, would be his ticket to a comeback.

"The Mist Continent caps at Fifteen Stars," Yu Yunxiao reminded him.

"Of course I know," Lou Yan Zhi replied. "That condition applies only if you’re still alive."

If you managed to survive this Terminal battle or the Insect Clan invasion,

judging by the talent of Xiao Jinsheng’s Beast Husbands,

reaching Twenty Stars would be easy.

If you didn’t survive,

what difference would it make whether the Healing Potions were 15-star or 20-star?

If you’re dead, you can’t collect goods anyway.

Yu Yunxiao fell into deep thought.

Even though he lacked spiritual power on the Mist Continent,

from what Lou Yan Zhi said, it was clear that in the Cultivation World, anyone reaching a certain level of strength would cultivate spiritual power.

That also meant, by following Lou Yan Zhi’s method,

he too could cultivate spiritual power.

But the question was...

Why should he spend one million Healing Potions on a learning opportunity he didn’t really need?

"What’s the dosage in each potion?" Que Zelian asked cautiously.

Xiao Jinsheng and Yu Yunxiao nodded along with him.

"Ahem," Lou Yan Zhi turned his head awkwardly.

"What are you all doing?" Caicai’s curious voice cut in from the side.

After hearing Xiao Jinsheng’s explanation that Lou Yan Zhi wanted to trade cultivation techniques with Yu Yunxiao for one million 20-star Healing Potions, Caicai was outraged.

"You’re asking for the moon and bullying an honest cat!"

Caicai waved a big green onion leaf and swatted at Lou Yan Zhi:

"Across all the planets in the Interstellar World, there are only ten Healing Ability Users who’ve reached 20 Stars!"
