Once, I Wanted To Be a Good Person

   Chapter 20 20. Knowledge Paid

   Maybe seeing Fang Ze a little confused, Bailing sat up straight, then clenched his fingers and explained to Fang Ze patiently,

   "Agent Fang Ze, you have to understand. In this world, not only matter is valuable. Knowledge is also valuable."

   "Even, to some extent, knowledge is more valuable than material things."

   "After all, material things may only give you enjoyment for a short time, but knowledge can change your life."

   "So, I think that when a person wants to answer questions and gain knowledge, he should pay the same as buying goods."

   "And I call this model payment for knowledge."

  Fang Ze: .

  Fang Ze just wanted to applaud "quack quack".

   Good guy. Knowledge is paid for. Girl, are you also a traveler?

   While complaining in his heart, he looked at Bailing and spread his hands, "I have no money."

   Originally, Fang Ze asked Bailing a question, and she was just a little happy, but now when she heard Fang Ze said that she had no money, she was excited!

   She said with a smile, "You don't have it! I have it!"

   "I can lend you money, and then you buy knowledge from me."

   "When you have money, return it to me with interest!"

  Fang Ze: ? ? ?

   Why is this routine so familiar? Have you seen it in a previous life?

  Flower. Flower chant?

  Fang Ze was at a loss for a while.

   Is this girl a traveler or a business genius?

  Thinking of this, Fang Ze couldn't help but casually said, "Odd changes and even doesn't change."

  Lark: ? ? ?

  The girl looked at Fang Ze suspiciously, "What chicken?"

  Fang Ze gave an "oh" and said, "It's okay. How much interest did I ask?"

   The girl was indeed distracted.

   She counted silently with her fingers crossed, and then opened a palm, "Two cents!"

   "200 lini for one question."

   "You pay me back 240!"

   "Rini" is the currency of this world, and its purchasing power is about half of that of Fang Ze's previous currency.

   is 200 lini, which is almost equivalent to the purchasing power of 100 yuan.

   Therefore, the price of girl problem is not expensive, but the interest is quite high.

   But interest?

  Fang Ze touched his chin, and suddenly remembered that he was a criminal who was controlled by the task force. Where would he go to make money and pay interest?

  I have enough principal to pay it back, right?

   So. What are you afraid of when you owe money?

   I’m not sure. I’ll run away in a few days!

  Thinking of this, Fang Ze nodded without hesitation, "Yes!"

   Seeing Fang Ze's promise, the girl's eyes suddenly brightened, and she looked like she was full of money fans.

   Then she opened her lotus purse, took out a dozen 200 lini banknotes, and handed it to Fang Ze, "Okay. Then you can ask."

   Fang Ze raised his hand in a conditioned reflex, wanting to take the money.

   As a result, when he held the side of the banknote, he realized that he couldn't pull it.

  He looked up at the girl involuntarily.

   Tears flashed in the girl's eyes, like that, it wasn't like she lent money to Fang Ze, but Fang Ze wanted to rob her.

   Fang Ze could not laugh or cry, but he could only let go.

   Then he began to wonder what questions to ask.

   After thinking about it for a long time, he suddenly remembered the [Spiritual Awakening Method] obtained last night.

   He remembered that the description on the note at the time was: one of the ways to become an awakened one.

Since    is "one", there should be other ways, right? What's good or bad about each approach?

  Thinking of this, Fang Ze couldn't help but ask, "Sir Bailing, I want to ask, what are the ways to become an Awakened?"

   Hearing Fang Ze's question, Bailing glanced at him and asked curiously, "Do you want to be an Awakener?"

   Fang Ze asked back, "Is this a problem? I can only charge you 100 lini."

  Lark: .

   Sure enough, Bailing stopped talking when he mentioned money. She withdrew 200 Lini from her hand, stuffed it into her purse, and muttered in a low voice, "Hmph. It's stingy. Don't ask if you don't ask."

   But while muttering, she also explained the problem to Fang Ze, "There are three ways to become an awakened person."

   "Spiritual Awakening, Bloodline Awakening and Special Awakening."

   "There is no difference between these three methods, it only depends on whether they fit the individual."

   Although the girl is a fan of money, she is very serious and careful when she explains the problem.

   "To explain these awakening methods, we must first understand what awakening ability is."

   "Awakening ability is not created out of thin air. It is the concrete application of the [World Law] by creatures."

   "Some creatures are sensitive to the laws of the world, so through special methods, they can establish a connection with the world, and condense some of the laws that they can use, so they have their own awakening ability."

   "This method of connecting living beings with the world is called the [Spiritual Awakening Method]."

   "The ancestors of some creatures are awakened or calamity creatures, and their bloodline has left traces of the ancestors' use of the world's laws. After special methods, they can follow the traces and re-master the laws that the ancestors used to use."

   "This special method of stimulating biological blood is called the [Blood Awakening Method]."

   "And except these two, all other awakening methods"

   "Like some families hold potions and rituals to awaken specific abilities;"

   "Like depriving the extraordinary power of a Noble Phantasm, it merges into oneself;"

   "Like those who rely on belief in disaster creatures and high-level awakeners to obtain awakening ability;"

   "These all belong to the [Special Awakening Method]."

   "Because their essence is to seize, or borrow, the power of other extraordinary creatures and extraordinary objects."

  “.”

  “.”

  Fang Ze worked hard to remember what Bailing said.

   While remembering, he also sighed in his heart: the true value of these 200 lini flowers.

   I didn't expect this girl to be such a real person!

   And after the "jiligulu" was finished, Xiao Bailing looked at Fang Ze, and then counted with his fingers, "I just answered one, two, three, five questions in total."

   "Then I will charge you 1000 lini in total!"

   Speaking of this, she reached out from her hand, took out four more banknotes, and put them back in her purse.

   Fang Ze raised a question mark: ? ? ?

   "Wait a minute!", he asked, "Why five questions? Isn't it one?"

The    girl looked at him with big eyes and said innocently, "Five. Look, I answered your question first: there are three ways to awaken."

   "After that, I explained what the awakening ability is, and finally, I explained the three awakening methods separately."

   "This 1+1+3, isn't it equal to five?"

  Fang Ze: .

  Fang Ze admired it. This girl is simply a profiteer! As expected of people who can think of those business strategies in previous lives.

   This hand is a strong buy and a strong sell, and the use of scattered purchases is perfect!

but

  I’m a criminal anyway, and I don’t plan to pay back the money.

   So Fang Ze didn't bother to care about her.

   So, taking advantage of the girl's good mood, he asked again, "Then the second question. Will using these methods for awakening be successful?"
