Chapter 12

After all, although today’s problems were resolved, it still filled her with fear and anxiety.

If it weren’t for Todd Elsey today, or if he weren’t here, perhaps he really wouldn’t have been able to solve all these problems. So, this was the first time she felt so weak, the first time she felt utter despair.

She 。 She longs to become stronger.

Seeing Juliet Hazlitt hesitate, Todd Elsey had no idea what she wanted to do.

He frowned and said to Juliet Hazlitt, “Say whatever you want to say!!! What are you doing?”

“I think I must be strong!” Juliet Hazlitt said firmly.

Hearing this, Todd Elsey felt a bit embarrassed, as he now had no way to help Juliet Hazlit practice. He relied entirely on the synthesis system to do the work for him.

All of these were achieved through hard practice over time. That’s why Todd Elsey also frowned.

However, seeing Juliet Hazlitt here, he thought that Todd Elsey might not want to make it public.

Additionally, she had heard of various martial arts schools, so he couldn’t simply pass on his own martial arts skills to others without permission.

He had to say wrongly, “If not, then it doesn’t matter.”

Todd Elsey quickly shook his head and laughed. “No, I didn’t mean today. I just need to figure out how to teach you properly. It’s not too late yet. Let’s go to bed.”

After saying that, Todd Elsey fell into deep thought.

Fortunately, his synthesis system hasn’t been used yet. He should be able to synthesize some useful things! But where can the girls go to cultivate what they need?

Todd Elsey thought for a moment, then turned and walked over to a small stall downstairs. It was a small booth filled with all kinds of books.

It can be said that the feng shui techniques Todd Elsey used in the past were purchased from this stall. Todd Elsey looked around and finally settled on a copy of the “Jade Maiden Heart Sutra” and a copy of the “Nine Yin True Classic”.

In fact, it’s obvious from the get-go that these are fake. Most of the content in Todd Elsey’s books was made up out of thin air. Moreover, these books were bound together with small nails, which gives them a very informal appearance.

But then again, if everything were normal, how could such a martial arts script even exist in the first place?

Without hesitation, Bantod Elsi also took out 20 yuan and said to the stall owner, “Bro, I have both of these books.”

A glint flashed in the stall owner’s eyes. It was like two sharp swords shining in the darkness. The atmosphere around the stall was quite strange, but somehow, the stall owner was there.

“100 yuan!” said the stall owner, without saying a word.

But at this moment, Todd Elsey frowned. Spending 100 yuan on these two books makes no sense at all. Only a fool would buy them.

“At most 20 copies. You don’t even have the official manufacturers for these two books.” “I guess you wrote them yourself. They can’t possibly be sold for 100 yuan each.” Todd Elsey haggled.

“100 yuan. If you like it, buy it. If not, leave.” The vendor snapped the stall shut.

This surprised Todd Elsey a bit, because vendors usually try to get customers to leave. Isn’t this just normal haggling?

At that moment, I didn’t hesitate at all. Anyway, I didn’t need those 100 yuan. I took out a red banknote and placed it next to the vendor.

“I want this book!” Todd Elsey’s face was grim. Even when Todd Elsey was in a good mood, he would still seem awkward.

“Do you understand? It can contain some martial arts scripts,” the stall owner said suddenly.

Todd Elsey didn’t hesitate any longer. He said to himself, “If you don’t care whether I can read it or not, then I won’t use it for reading. I’ll use it for synthesizing things instead.”

Currently, on those bright days of the month, I can see that the street vendor’s eyes have changed—now carrying a very cold smile, as he watches Todd Elsey turn and leave.

Todd Elsey went home, opened both the “Broken Wire” and “Hardcover” books. Her expression grew more and more hesitant, but there was nothing she could do. After all, she also needed to synthesize that item herself.

“The Jade Maiden Sutra is supposed to be for women, right? What’s going on here? What kind of book is it, and what kind of energy does it possess?” Todd Elsey flipped through the pages casually, convinced that both books were completely worthless.

But there’s no other way. As long as you pay someone, you can use the synthesis system. Simply place the two books on the two platforms of the synthesis system, and in the next moment, you’ll hear the soothing electronic synthesis sound.

“Are the two yellow scripts synthesized?”

“Ding. It is recommended that the owner refrain from combining these elements and instead focus on breaking them down.”

“Ding. It is recommended that the owner expend 50% of their mental energy and add notes to the book.”

Hearing these words, Todd Elsey’s face suddenly turned pale. He hadn’t expected those two secret manuals to be real.

Does this mean that everything sold by the vendors downstairs is genuine? But it’s impossible to even think of checking with them.

Where did he get these two scripts from? As for the rest, it’s mostly evolution-related content similar to what’s discussed in “A Brief History of Time”. So, he can’t really be considered a great person.

Thinking of this, Todd Elsey murmured, “Then let’s add reading notes as well.”

After saying those words, Todd Elsey felt dizzy. Almost half of his mental energy was exhausted from drawing like that. It wasn’t good at all!

“Ding dong. Reminder: The owner is currently saving 0.1% of their mental energy. It’s recommended that the owner restore their mental strength as soon as possible. If it drops to zero, the main unit will be in danger!”

When it comes to electronic synthesized sounds, they seem quite relaxing.

“No, I have 50% spirituality. What about the remaining 0.1%?” Todd Elsey asked, rubbing his head in frustration.

“Ding dong. The warning to the owner: 50% of the damage per book. The owner’s mental capacity is 100.1%. Therefore, you haven’t died…”

Todd Elsey didn’t hear a word that came from behind the electronic synthesizer, because by then, he was already asleep in bed, in the darkness.

The next afternoon, when he woke up again, Juliet Hazlitt was sitting beside him. She looked a little anxious, staring intently at Todd Elsey in front of him, her eyes filled with concern.

This morning, when she got up, she saw Todd Elsey fall to the ground.

He didn’t know why. She wanted to dress Todd Elsey in the hallway. But it seemed like Todd Elsey was drunk at that moment.

If Juliet Hazlitt didn’t watch Todd Elsey and took a moment to breathe, she would know what he was doing.

Todd Elsey’s eyes opened slightly. As soon as they did, he saw that the person beside him was Juliet Hazlitt. He hesitated for a moment before asking, “What time is it?”

Juliet Hazlitt was unhappy. Lying beside Todd Elsey’s bed, she gently pounded on his chest with her hand and cried, “How can you sleep like this? You scared me to death.”

As she spoke, she wasn’t happy at all, with Todd Elsey still on her mind.

She was worried that something might happen to Todd Elsey. At that time, he too looked pale.

After all, Todd Elsey had saved her several times. Of course, she didn’t want anything to happen to him.

Seeing this, Todd Elsey hesitated for a moment. His mental energy had just recovered to around 60%. Although he was still tired, that was enough for him. He slowly stood up and said to Juliet Hazlitt with a smile, “I’m fine. You see, I’m still alive.”

After saying that, I noticed a hint of hesitation on Juliet Hazlitt’s face, along with a flicker of confusion in her eyes. She hesitantly asked whether Todd Elsey was worried about his own health.

But at that moment, Todd Elsey stood up immediately and began frantically searching his clothes for those two books.
