Chapter 200: Little Fury learning to read (Part 2) As Lu Shu thought about how to communicate with little fury, he first wondered if there was any way to establish a telepathic communication. After all, wasnt this the case in movies and television dramas?

But in reality Lu Shu did not have such an ability up his sleeve, he wasnt even sure if such an ability could be exhibited by anyone in this world.

So he could only use a more realistic approach to this issue. Lu Shu intuitively thought of sign language, as little fury could not speak.

But Lu Shu looked at little furys fingers just as he thought of this idea. Squirrels, like humans, had five fingers but one of them was extremely small, hidden behind the rest of the fingers!

How could it display sign language?

Another issue was that Lu Shu didnt know sign language himself

Then the only way was to teach it to comprehend words on books!

Both Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu didnt have the capacity to do that as they had to attend school. Who could have so much time in the day to teach a squirrel to comprehend words?

Old man Li might have plenty of time, but Lu Shu felt that it was extremely inappropriate for him to bestow little fury to his care.

Lu Shu thought for a moment before bringing Lu Xiaoyu out. When he came back, he had a book-like object in his arms.

Little fury, come, come! I have something good to show you Lu Shu exclaimed.

Little fury naturally didnt want to go over

But thinking of the refresher fruit and Lu Shus abilities, it had no other choice.

It then came to Lu Shus side only to see him open this book-like object. A hidden screen lit up.

I spent hundreds of dollars on this thing. Youll have to treasure your opportunity to learn After all, some children dont even have the chance to learn even if they wanted to! Watch, Ill show you once. This is called learning words. It will articulate words and sentences and corresponding words will be shown. You just have to learn 40 words a day. Youll have to copy these 40 words ten times on a book which Ill check every day after school Lu Shu handed little fury a pencil upon finishing.

Little Fury was stunned! What sin did he commit to deserve this?!

From Little Furys distress,

Lu Shu was curious. Shouldnt Little Furys intellect be further developed after eating the refresher fruit? Why was its distress points still does it mean different living things contribute different points? Or will other beings only contribute distress points fully after they have truly awakened their full intellectual potential?

He wasnt too sure and could only wait and see. But Lu Shu wanted to give Little Fury more refresher fruits and see whats the limit for it although he was rather afraid that things might escalate beyond his control. Anyway, he had to proceed with caution.

Little Fury looked at the pencil and book in its hand and wanted to cry. Was this the price of being intellectually sentient? Can I surrender my intellect? Could you treat me like a normal squirrel

But it knew that there was no negotiating against this plan of Lu Shus.

At this moment, Lu Shu was still rambling on, Studying is a form of thinking and acquiring knowledge. It might not be able to bring you wealth or riches directly, but it could help you understand this world better. We always say that knowledge changes our fate, and knowledge changes your entire understanding and perspective of the world. Theres no future without education

From Little Furys distress,

Little Fury slumped onto the sofa with all its equipment. Please stop rambling on, I believe you alright? The pencil was in its hand and its head was hurting just from looking at the words on the screen.

Lu Xiaoyu then whispered to Lu Shu, Is it reliable?

Lu Shu responded merrily, Who knows if we dont try?

Who knows, maybe they could send Little Fury over to educate other rodents. If that happens, wouldnt spying and information collection be even more efficient? The mere thought of that happening was amazing.

But Lu Shu didnt plan on jumping the gun, and they could only approach this one step at a time. Firstly, they had to educate Little Fury.

Since the failure of swapping the test tubes, Lu Shu seemed to be more calm and reliable.

Lu Shu then noticed that throughout the process of Little Furys learning, it had been supplying Lu Shu with distress points continuously If it were to study about an hour every day, Lu Shu could probably earn an additional 2000 distress points daily

This was indeed a brilliant idea! He could kill two birds with one stone!

After settling this, Lu Shu then focused on training and suppressing his chi. The wave of chi reverberates once every hour, and with the increasing chi, Lu Shu found that there would be increasing difficulty suppressing it in future.

Lu Shu continued with his regime of having two chi fruits every day as one fruit was too little. He was also worried that eating too much at once might result in him losing control of his chi. The chi movement was the most intense right after he consumed the fruits every day.

He could still control the chi after consuming two fruits. More would probably result in him opening up his chi reserves.

He also considered saving up hundreds of fruits and eating them all at one go, but was worried he might be bloated to death This was not a game, in which experience points and pills could be eaten without a limit. He had to be careful even with two fruits, there would definitely be a problem if he ate so many at once.

Causing Lu Xiaoyus soul pig to explode was a small matter while him exploding, on the other hand, was a huge problem

In reality, Lu Shu was already very clear that it was not difficult to suppress the chi at any point in time. The difficult part was to always be attentive and cautious.

Lu Shu was someone who did everything to his best ability, so when Li Xianyi told him to accumulate his chi into the form of a cloud, then into a river and subsequently into an ocean, Lu Shu understood it as the bare minimum he should achieve.

How could he know that Li Xianyi was just spouting nonsense?

If Lu Shu found out the trick that was passed down from generations to Li Xianyi, what would he think

In the early morning the next day, Lu Shu went over to Li Xianyis yard again. While suppressing his chi and practicing the swordplay, the old man watched in silence, seeing that Lu Shus chi was about to surpass his own. At this point in time, it was impossible for him to admit to Lu Shu the lies he told.

However, there were ancestors who proved that the accumulation of chi could achieve the form of rivers and oceans which meant that Lu Shu could safely continue.

Since there was no risk, Lu Shu should just continue accumulating.
