Reborn to be a God of Reading

C2 – Performance Begin!

Lachlan threw away all distracting thoughts.

With that, Lachlan focused his mind on the system.

Just now, the system had issued a mission, but he had yet to take a closer look at it.

“Mission issued.”

“Punish Gregory and avenge you!”

“Mission Difficulty: One star.”

[Mission Reward: 5 points of the Mental Energy.]

He could get the reward?

Without any hesitation, Lachlan accepted the mission.

However, what was this Mental Energy?

“Cognitive Energy is related to the user’s authority in the system. Only by increasing the level of the user’s cognitive energy can the user read more advanced books and obtain stronger skills.”

Lachlan nodded his head, “So that’s how it is!”

At this moment, the system rang again.

“The host has accepted the mission for the first time. The reward is to activate the Roulette!”

Immediately after, a colorful roulette appeared in front of Lachlan.

Lachlan’s mind moved slightly, “Stop!”

“The reward for the host’s special skill: Reading ten lines at a glance.”

“Reading ten lines at a glance: One glance is enough to read ten lines of text.”

Lachlan accepted the reward excitedly. He was more confident in the exam in the afternoon.

Now, he could imagine the look of Julius’s tears.

Lachlan’s consciousness entered the Library Ocean. It was a white space, with books on the ground, as vast as the sea.

He took a deep breath and felt refreshed. This place was filled with the smell of knowledge.

The basic knowledge of high school was at Lachlan’s feet, and he could easily obtain it.

There were hundreds of thousands of books in high school, which was an extremely vast area.

If he wanted to enter a higher level area, he would have to rely on his stronger cognitive energy.

At this point, Lachlan had completely understood the system.

“It seems that everything depends on the cognitive energy. Then, I must complete the mission perfectly.”

The afternoon exams began.

This time, it was a joint examination of six schools. The teachers in the examination hall were all from other schools. Moreover, there were one teacher in front and one in the back. This was an extremely high standard examination.

In his previous life, Lachlan had taken a great risk to find an opportunity to pass the answer to Gregory. However, Gregory did not cherish it at all and directly reported Lachlan for plagiarism.

The evidence was conclusive, and Lachlan’s results were all invalid.

Not only was he reported by the entire school, but he was also treated as a negative example by all the high schools in the city.

For a time, he was notorious.

If it wasn’t for the fact that Lachlan had been pleading for him, he would have been fired.

Of course, even if he hadn’t been expelled, the punishment in his record would have been his entire life.

This time, he had caused his previous life’s death. He must make Gregory pay the price.

“Lachlan, remember not to write your name. When the time comes, we’ll exchange the exam papers directly.”

Gregory’s face was full of smiles.

He hated Lachlan to the core. If it wasn’t for the 20,000 yuan, he wouldn’t have knelt down to Lachlan.

From the moment he knelt down, he had decided that this time, not only would he make Lachlan a cheating student, but he would also teach him a lesson. His cousin was doing well in Ellsworth High School.

“Don’t worry, I will finish the exam as soon as possible.”

Lachlan smiled cruelly as his plan began.

“Thank you, Martin.” Gregory said with a smile.

The exam began.

Everything went according to plan.

Lachlan took a few seconds to look at the exam paper, and the answer was already clear in his mind.

He quickly wrote the answer on the paper.

After about ten minutes, Lachlan had finished the entire exam paper.

It was like an adult answering a question of one plus one equals two. He did not need to think at all.

There was no challenge, so he decided to continue reading.

Lachlan once again focused his mind on the system, preparing to start studying other books.

Lachlan roughly looked around and found that there were countless categories in Library Ocean.

[Knowledge Category]

[Martial Arts Category]

[Medicine Category]

[Music Category] and so on.

The high school syllabus was categorized into the [Knowledge Category], and what Lachlan was most interested in was the [Martial Arts Category].

He once dreamt of exploring the world.

He looked at the Library Ocean.

[Phoenix Soaring Strike]

[Crescent Swan]

[Twilight Tiger] and so on.

These were all godly skills in wuxia novels. If he could extract them, he would be very happy!

However, he only knew after reading that these words were obscure and hard to understand. He could not understand anything even after reading them once.

“System, extract the skill of [Twilight Tiger] for me.”

“Extracting failed. Your cognitive energy is not enough to control the skill of [Twilight Tiger]. If you forcefully extract it, you might become a retard.”

Lachlan smiled in embarrassment.

He did not expect that his first attempt would fail.

Indeed, martial arts had a history of thousands of years.

It was impossible for him to succeed in one go.

It seemed that it was impossible for him to directly read the martial arts secret manual to extract the skill.

Then, he would start reading the wuxia novels. After all, the martial arts in the wuxia novels were all-encompassing. Perhaps there was a martial art that was suitable for Lachlan.

Lachlan started to read the “Cradle, Coiling Dragon, and other wuxia novels.”

Sure enough.

A crisp sound rang out in his mind.

“Discovered skill: Taichi Technique level 1. Do you want to extract it?”

“Extract!”

Suddenly, a few fist techniques that seemed to be inborn appeared in Lachlan’s mind.

The first level fist technique was extremely simple. This was the foundation of the fist technique, and the palm was used as the attack.

Although the attack method was simple, it was the most fatal move.

Suddenly.

A few rapid sounds attracted everyone’s attention, including the two examiners.

Gregory took the opportunity to whisper, “Martin, I asked someone to set up a few firecrackers outside to attract the attention of the teachers. Now is the best time to give me the exam paper. Hurry up.”

Lachlan pretended to be timid and nodded. He stretched out his hand and said, “Hurry up and give me the exam paper!”

“Aren’t we exchanging test papers?” Gregory was stunned.

“If you don’t give me the exam paper, how can I give it to you? Hurry up. Don’t you want to get a high score?”

Gregory smiled bitterly.

He did not do it for the sake of getting a high score. He did it for the sake of reporting that Lachlan had plagiarized.

Furthermore, Lachlan had only written ten minutes of questions and was still sleeping. It was impossible for him to get a high score.

There was no other choice. Gregory had no time to think.

Gregory could only give the exam paper to Lachlan first. Gregory was prepared to directly report that Lachlan had exchanged the exam paper with him and plagiarized it. If they failed together, they would fail together.

In any case, as long as Lachlan’s results were invalid, he would be able to get the twenty thousand yuan from Julius.

When Lachlan received the exam paper, the corner of his mouth raised into a sinister smile.

Next, it was his performance time.

Suddenly.

Lachlan slammed the table heavily, turned around, and pointed at Gregory: “Teacher, he cheated!”

Gregory immediately felt dizzy.

What was going on?

Lachlan had reported him?

The two invigilators’ expressions changed, and they quickly walked over, “What happened?”

Lachlan said loudly, “Teacher, Gregory just wanted to forcefully exchange the exam paper with me. He wanted to take my results. This is the blank exam paper that he gave me.”

Lachlan waved the exam paper in his hand.

Gregory’s exam paper was almost blank, but he had answered a few questions. This was the only question he knew.

It was over.

Gregory’s face stiffened.

He did not expect that Lachlan would report him.

Right now, he felt as if he had eaten a dead fly.
