Chapter 582: Chapter 239: My Son is a Treacherous Minister (Part 15)_3
So many essential skills for transmigrators, professional and detailed, even after researching various materials beforehand, it’s not certain that one could remember so much, so reliably.
The key is that these technologies are really not just generic online stuff, but are magical tools that can play an important role in the world of novels.
This is a genuine Skill Book formed by the fusion of the databases of numerous web novel authors, and He Tiantian only spent 1 point, oh no, the mall just priced it at 12 points, totally not a rip-off!
He Tiantian pouted. No matter how eloquently Student Xiao D spoke, she still felt it was not worth it—it was just the notebooks of web novel authors, how did it become a Skill Book?
Skills, skills, it has to be the kind of scarce knowledge that can’t be learned in reality.
But these—
Er, He Tiantian carefully revisited the data bank in her mind, and suddenly realized, it wasn’t really that bad.
Some knowledge was augmented by the plot of the novel world.
If He Tiantian used technology from the real world, she might not succeed.
But, if she used the "data" created by the web novel authors, it seemed she could realize it in the novel world.
For example, the knowledge and technology involved in hybrid rice were too much; at least in ancient times, it was very difficult to succeed.
However, if He Tiantian used the methods provided by the Skill Book, she could replicate it.
So to say, the core value of this "How to Thrive in Ancient Times" is not the data itself, but the script enhancement given by the Dian Niang System.
Just like in a martial hero novel, He Tiantian could easily cultivate Inner Strength.
Whereas in reality, even using the same martial arts, cultivating Inner Strength would take years or require some auxiliary means.
After figuring these points out, He Tiantian privately resigned herself, but on the surface, she still had to put on an unwilling appearance, "What you said, I could learn by reading a few more transmigration web novels!"
Student Xiao D: ...
With He Tiantian saying so, it even seemed quite reasonable.
The Dian Niang Mall seemed really a bit, uh, actually using their signed authors’ notes to make money.
"..." Student Xiao D felt guilty, its fluffy body somewhat drooping.
Seeing the situation turned better, He Tiantian feigned helplessness with a sigh, "Alright, let’s just drop it this time. But, Student Xiao D, you must relay my feedback to the system."
"If it’s a product meant for making money, it shouldn’t be so perfunctory. If it’s called a Skill Book, it should provide genuinely good technology!"
Upon hearing He Tiantian so agreeable, Student Xiao D, not thinking too much, hurriedly nodded, "OK, Ok, I’ll suggest it to the system!"
Finally calmed down the formidable big boss.
He Tiantian:... well, as long as you’re happy.
...
A month later, Prince Consort Guo submitted a memorial, stating his old injuries had flared up, unable to lead troops at the border, and wanted to return to the Capital City to recuperate.
The Saint was secretly delighted, but outwardly, he had to retain him repeatedly.
Prince Consort Guo, on the other hand, resolutely resigned.
Brother-in-law and nephew thoroughly acted out the "three refusals and three retentions" drama, making everyone in the Imperial court know that the Saint and Duke Wei had no suspicion between them, still as close as dear relatives.
Ahem, no, as good relatives.
The Saint thus decreed, summoning Duke Wei Prince Consort Guo back to the Capital City, and ennobled Guo Dalang as General to continue commanding the Guo Family Army.
The Saint and the Guo family seemed to have reached some level of balance, and their relationship was no longer a tense opposition.
Following this, the Saint "suddenly" remembered that Prince Consort Guo had a son-in-law serving as an official in the Capital City, in order to showcase the Royal Family’s favor towards the Guo family.
The Saint promoted Prince Consort Guo’s son-in-law He Xi to Vice Minister of Ministry of Revenue, Standard Fourth Rank, truly becoming a powerful official, a qualitative leap as a Capital City official.
The key was He Xi was only twenty-two years old, yet occupying such a high position, definitely a promising future.
For a time, the Guo family was exceedingly prominent.
And He Xi also became a new favorite of the Imperial court, highly favored by the Saint.
He Xi was elated, filled with grand ambitions he wanted to display.
However, before he even had the chance to go to the Ministry of Revenue full of aspirations, his own mother poured cold water on him—
"My son, do you really think it’s because the Saint values you?"
"Even I, an uneducated old woman, know that the Saint is compensating the Guo family, putting on a face for Duke Wei Mansion!"
"If you really take this trivial favor as an imperial order, that would be a joke!"
He Tiantian straightforwardly burst the bubble hiding the truth.
"Ding! He Xi’s hatred value +3!"
