I Have Unparalleled Comprehension-Chapter 6

Buying Books

As for what would happen when the government officials came and found that this place had already turned into ruins, it had nothing to do with them.

…

Sheng County was a remote county in the Jingyun Division of the Great Chu Country.

The division of geography in Great Chu was very simple. It was divided into four parts of the Jingzhou Prefecture division, from large to small.

In the division, there were many small counties.

Sheng County was a remote county. However, although it was small, it had everything.

It had everything needed. One could even find a brothel here.

At this moment, a group of people had just come out of the county office of Sheng County.

Xu Bai walked in front, followed by a group of bodyguards.

Just as he had expected, the county magistrate only asked a few questions before they were dismissed.

Xu Bai was used to this.

In this day and age, there was someone who managed things, there would be someone who didn’t.

The county magistrate of Sheng County was in between.

If one were to say that he wasn’t managing things, he was. For example, the Raging Tiger Bandits. The county office had sent people to surround them many times.

It was not entirely true that he was managing things either. If he really wanted to destroy the Raging Tiger Bandits, he could have just surrounded the mountain. However, the county magistrate of Sheng County did not do that.

Xu Bai didn’t know the reason, but he knew that he had gotten away with it this time.

As he walked on the street, Xu Bai was curious about everything.

The memories in his mind were just memories, but seeing it with his own eyes was different.

The experience of watching things from a movie was obviously incomparable to going to the actual venue personally.

There were hawkers on both sides of the street, and it was really noisy.

Although Sheng County was small, it was still lively.

As he walked along the street, Xu Bai became more and more curious. From time to time, he would look left and right.

Most importantly, there was a group of bodyguards behind him. He was walking in front, making him look like a rich young master bringing a group of evil slaves. Everyone avoided him.

“Brother Xu, where are we going?” One of the bodyguards finally couldn’t help but ask.

They just strolled around, not knowing when it would end.

The thing was, that no one dared to say anything. After all, the image of the figure who had wielded a saber in the Raging Tiger Bandits was too deep-rooted in their minds. Even now, they were still terrified when they thought about it.

So many lives were lost just like that. It was all done by this person. Wasn’t it terrifying?

Xu Bai held the handle of the Ghost Head Saber and looked at the very old middle-aged man. He touched his face. “Am I very old?”

This was a subconscious question, but the middle-aged bodyguard broke out in cold sweat.

“No, no, Brother Xu, I mean… it’s…”

The middle-aged bodyguard could not form a response after a long time.

How could he have thought that this fiend would ask such a question? He really could not answer.

That saber seemed to be very fast. Would it cut his neck directly?

The more he thought about it, the more afraid he became. He broke out in a cold sweat.

“I’m not going back,” Xu Bai suddenly said.

“Huh?” The middle-aged bodyguard was stunned.

“The head of the Bodyguard Agency is gone, and the Bodyguard Agency has suffered heavy losses. I don’t want to work anymore,” Xu Bai said.

He really didn’t want to work anymore.

He now had the golden finger, and the ten or so silver ingots were enough to spend for a while. He did not intend to be distracted for the time being.

Moreover, the reason was very good. Because of this reason, he was afraid and therefore decided to quit this industry.

“Then… Brother Xu, the rest of us will go back first?” The middle-aged bodyguard mustered his courage and asked.

“Go back then. By the way, remember, you have all taken the money. The matter that you had broken the rules of this industry, you can’t tell anyone,” Xu Bai said meaningfully.

The bodyguards hurriedly nodded.

They all understood. This was equivalent to someone who did not know how to swim getting on the boat. Moreover, the boat had been rowed to the middle of the sea, so it was impossible to return.

Xu Bai waved his hand and told the bodyguards to leave quickly while he continued to stroll on the streets.

It was worth mentioning that the martial arts style of the Great Chu State was valiant. Even though he was carrying the Ghost Head Saber, the people around him did not show any surprise.

At most, they would take a few more glances. That was all.

In fact, Xu Bai even encountered a few people with long spears on their shoulders. They were extremely conspicuous, and the people around did not take them seriously.

It was normal for people who traveled the martial world to carry a saber.

After walking around for a while, Xu Bai stopped somewhere.

The bank.

He originally wanted to walk around again. When he passed by the bank, he remembered that there were still more than ten silver ingots in his bag. He wanted to exchange them for smaller pieces in the bank so that he could use them later.

Regardless, the county office was really useless. They did not even look at their baggage. When they heard that it was related to the Raging Tiger Bandits, they casually asked a few questions and ended the matter.

Of course, before entering the county office, they had already hidden the silver and only took it back after coming out.

At this moment, there were not many people in the bank. Only the teller was at the counter.

However, before that, Xu Bai was not in a hurry to enter. He first found a remote corner and took out an ingot of silver. After chopping it into pieces with the Ghost Head Saber, he brought the scattered silver to the bank.

Most of the broken silver in the Great Chu Kingdom came from this. Ordinary people used scissors to cut it themselves, but Xu Bai directly sliced it.

There was a difference between official silver and private silver. The silver in the wooden box was private silver. Xu Bai could use it without any worries.

After entering the bank, he exchanged for a small bag of copper coins and put the remaining silver into another bag.

After doing all this, Xu Bai was not in a hurry to leave.

“Teller, do you know a place in Sheng County that sells books?” Xu Bai took out a piece of silver and placed it in the teller’s hand.

The teller had been keeping track of the accounts. When he heard this, he weighed the silver in his hand and his eyes lit up. “The west side of the county. If you follow this road, you’ll see a bookstore.”

Xu Bai nodded and thanked him before leaving the bank.

Along the way, he did not wander around. Instead, he widened his eyes and looked around to see if there were any progress bars.

Unfortunately, he did not find anything noteworthy like he had at the Raging Tiger Bandits.

Since he did not trigger the cheat, he would create the conditions himself.

Xu Bai thought about it. Since it was comprehension, it should be useful to read books. Hence, he asked for the location of the bookstore in the bank just now.

Most of the bookstores in the Great Chu Country did not sell books.

Most of the things sold here were other things.Books were only sold as a secondary merchandise.

When Xu Bai found the bookstore while walking along the road, he saw that the entrance of the bookstore was slightly deserted.

Although it was cold and gloomy, there were still a few customers, but they were not here to buy books.

After Xu Bai walked in, he went straight to the bookshelf and started flipping through the books on it.

The owner of the bookstore did not ask further. He was still greeting the customers.

Xu Bai flipped through a book as he walked.

“Nothing in this book”

“Nothing in this book, too.”

He kept flipping through the books and returned it back when he didn’t see the progress bar.

From the leftmost side of the bookshelf to the rightmost side.

When Xu Bai flipped through the last book, he stopped.

There was a light golden progress bar on the book.

“Got it!” Xu Bai was overjoyed. Before he could read the title, he took the book and walked to the counter of the bookstore.

“Boss, how much?”

The owner of the bookstore was originally greeting customers. When he heard Xu Bai’s voice, he looked at the book on the counter with a puzzled expression.

It was rare for someone to buy books, but there were always a few scholars.

If Xu Bai was only buying books, he didn’t really care.

But the title of the book…

The bookstore owner felt the need to double-check.

“Sir, are you sure you want this book?”
