Chapter 5 The Life I Want
How could I finish watching it in a month?
Hundreds of thousands of books, even if you read them in a minute, you can read them for 20 hours in a day, besides eating, drinking, urinating, and sleeping.
So calculate it, one book per minute, one hour is 60 books, multiplied by 20 hours is 1,200 books, and multiplied by 30 days is 36,000 books. There are hundreds of thousands of books in the entire library, and Zuo Xiaoyou can only read one tenth of them even if he is dead.
What should I do when facing this situation? Zuo Xiaoyou's solution is to only pick up the most useful books that are for him. Some books that are not very important or that are not read can be put aside. In this way, one-tenth of the number will be almost the same.
However, for one month, apart from reading time every day, and eating, drinking, defecating, Zuo Xiaoyou only slept for two hours a day. After a whole month, it would have consumed a huge amount of energy and energy. If it weren't for the support of almost infinite magic, Zuo Xiaoyou would definitely not be able to hold on.
After one month's period expired, Lin Ka personally came to pick up Zuo Xiaoyou. When he saw Zuo Xiaoyou's appearance was withered, as if he had been tortured by a hundred and 200-pound old ladies dozens of times, he was startled: "Xiaoyou, how are you? Are you okay?"
Zuo Xiaoyou leaned on the bookshelf, looking like he was about to ascend to heaven. When he saw Linka, he showed a colorless smile: "Teacher...you... are here..." After the words, he slowly closed his eyes.
Zuo Xiaoyou, Zuo. The whole book is over.
...That's impossible!
"The little brat actually fell asleep, which scared me." After checking Zuo Xiaoyou's condition and confirming that he was just over-exhausted and fell into a deep sleep, Linka breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled bitterly: "You kid are so strong and still work so hard. What should I do if I am a teacher? Alas! It's not a good thing for students to be too good."
...
When Zuo Xiaoyou opened his eyes again, it was already the third afternoon. What surprised him was that he did not sleep in a comfortable big house at this time, but in a carriage. The carriage was not fast, had good shock absorption performance, and was very stable, which was also the reason why he could sleep until he woke up naturally.
Just as Zuo Xiaoyou was about to get up, a joyful and familiar voice came from the opposite side: "Brother Zuo, you are awake!"
"Livia?" Zuo Xiaoyou sat up, looked at the beautiful blonde swordsman sitting opposite him, and rubbed his eyes: "Where are we? When is it now?"
"We are halfway to the Ice and Snow Kingdom." Livia said happily: "Brother Zuo, it's already the third day since Uncle Linka picked you up."
"Ice and Snow Kingdom?" Zuo Xiaoyou had no doubt about sleeping for three days. He worked hard for a month, and what was it like to sleep for three days in a daze. He was just surprised that he was taken to the carriage to the Ice and Snow Kingdom when he was asleep.
"What are we going to the Ice and Snow Kingdom for?" Although we probably know the reason, Zuo Xiaoyou still has to ask.
"The magic and armed fighting meeting of all races will be held in the Ice and Snow Kingdom." Livia patiently explained: "Because Brother Zuo is powerful in magic, His Majesty the King appointed Brother Zuo to represent the Kingdom of Babnica to fight the magic meeting, and I will represent the Kingdom of Babnica to fight the martial arts meeting."
Zuo Xiaoyou frowned: "Why do you want us to participate? Is there no one in the Kingdom of Babnica?"
Feeling the dissatisfaction in Zuo Xiaoyou's tone, Livia smiled and said, "The participants in the conference require that young people under 25 years old are not outstanding, so they chose us as their representatives."
"So that's it." Zuo Xiaoyou nodded and shook his head again: "But I am already 30 years old and cannot participate in the competition..."
"No, you can!" Livia chuckled: "Brother Zuo looks very young. Even if he is 20 years old, some people believe it. As long as we don't say it, who will know that Brother Zuo is already 30 years old?"
"..." Zuo Xiaoyou sneered: "I didn't expect that His Majesty the King would cheat in order to win. Could it be that the victory of this armed struggle is of benefit to the Kingdom of Babnica?"
"Of course there are benefits." Livia said: "The advantage on the surface is the champion prizes Crystal Heart and Ice Crystal Sword. Both of these treasures are very rare in the Holy Demon Continent. The magicians get Crystal Heart and the warriors get Ice Crystal Sword, and they can challenge them higher-levelly. Of course, this is irrelevant to a country, but after winning, it will have a huge boost to the country's reputation."
Speaking of this, Livia said: "His Majesty the King believes that Brother Zuo can win the championship in the Magic Competition, but I am not confident of winning the championship in the martial arts competition, so His Majesty the King's bottom line is the Crystal Heart, and the Ice Crystal Sword is trying its best to win."
"This is really..." Zuo Xiaoyou shook his head, stretched his waist, opened the curtains and looked at the scenery outside the car window. It was already snowy outside, and the knight guards along the way were all wearing thick armor, which looked cold. But the carriage was as warm as spring, and it must be the effect of magic.
The news that Zuo Xiaoyou woke up soon reached the ears of Princess Orina, Princess Fioya, Linka, Ulis, and Parker, the main character who triggered Wu Lai to win the title of Elsinke Destruction in the original work.
When it was evening and the convoy was about to set up camp, these people walked out of the carriage and greeted Zuo Xiaoyou happily.
"You boy finally woke up." Lin Ka was very happy, but he complained: "I have been sleeping for three days. If I really don't wake up, I want to use lightning to wake you up."
"Don't have to be so poisonous!" Zuo Xiaoyou looked scared and said with a smile: "I've made the teacher worry with everyone."
The elegant and quiet Princess Fei'a made a rare joke: "I'm not worried, and I even wish Mr. Zuo Xiaoyou would sleep for a few more days, it would be best to sleep until the end of the magical and martial arts conference of all races, so that our principality of Lein has hope of winning the magic competition."
Everyone laughed and knew that Princess Feiya was joking. There were not many young magicians in the Principality of Rein. In the past, the champions of the magic competition were basically handled by the elves. Even if they were not elves, they must have been captured by the wizards of the Ice and Snow Kingdom. There was no chance for the other three human countries.
But this time, Zuo Xiaoyou suddenly appeared. I believe that after the game starts, the chins of all races will be shocked.
While everyone was laughing, Zuo Xiaoyou asked expressionlessly: "I want to know why I want to fight on behalf of the Kingdom of Babnica?"
The laughter stopped and everyone's faces changed. Princess Fioya and Parker took two steps back. It was not their country's business anyway, so it was just a fun time.
Princess Orina's face was a little more arrogant: "It is an honor for countless people to fight on behalf of the Kingdom of Babnica. Don't you think so?"
Zuo Xiaoyou glanced at her and said lightly: "I'm sorry, I'm not from the Kingdom of Babnica, and I don't have the obligation to fight on behalf of Babnica."
"you……"
"Princess Orina, let me talk to him!" Linka interrupted Orina's words. As the great sage of the Kingdom of Babnica, Linka's words were still very important. Orina nodded, then snorted and went back to her carriage to rest.
"Zuo Xiaoyou, you are my student." Linka smiled and said, "I am the great sage of Babnica. As a student, shouldn't you contribute some effort to the teacher!"
"It is necessary to contribute to the teacher." Zuo Xiaoyou nodded, but then said: "But it involves the interests of the country and race, please think twice."
"..." Linka smiled bitterly: "Just think it's reading for a month..."
"That's the reward I received for saving Princess Orina." Zuo said: "Teacher, if this competition is to repay you for your teachings in the past period of time, I can go to the battle."
The subtext is: But after the competition, the friendship between you and me will no longer exist.
Linka sighed, not knowing what to do.
As Linka’s friend and another teacher at Zuo Xiaoyou, Ulis said: “Zuo Xiaoyou, do you like Livia?”
"Ah!?" Not only Zuo Xiaoyou, everyone present was shocked. As the person involved, Livia was even more shocked and embarrassed: "Dad, what are you talking about!"
"I'm not talking nonsense." Ulis laughed and said, "You are my daughter, why don't I know what you are thinking."
Livia was so embarrassed that her face turned red and she glanced at Zuo Xiaoyou shyly. Seeing Zuo Xiaoyou also looked at her, she immediately lowered her head and stomped her feet and ran away from a distance.
"Okay." Ulis said: "Zuo Xiaoyou, you should know what I mean, what do you think of Livia?"
"..." Zuo Xiaoyou was silent for a moment and said, "Livia is a very outstanding girl..."
Ulis smiled and said, "I knew you can't resist Livia's charm."
"That……"
"But I always treat her as my sister." Zuo said: "What's more, I'll be back to Earth sooner or later. I don't want to have too much involvement with too many people in this world."
Ulis was choked. If he had a handful of ak47, he would be given a shuttle.
"There are so many spaces in another world, who knows if you can go back in your life?" Ulis said angrily: "If you can't go back until you die, won't you marry and have children?"
Zuo Xiaoyou frowned: "Teacher Ulis, you said you should find a way to get me back."
"Uh, this... cough cough." Ulis was embarrassed and gave Linka a look of 'I have no choice'.
Linka said with helplessness, "Of course we will find a way to send you back, but this is not simple. Maybe it will take three to five years to be lucky. If you are not lucky, you may not be able to find the direction of the earth even if you die. Ulis is also planning ahead."
He paused: "Livia is a good girl. She believes in you and you know what you think. If you can be together, Ulis and I will be happy to see it. What's more, even if you are together, we have found your way back. You can also bring Livia to life, which does not prevent you from being together."
Zuo Xiaoyou shook his head: "This is too sudden, I haven't thought about it so much." He paused: "If possible, I hope to find a place to live quietly, and then try my best to study space magic and find the way home as soon as possible."
Linka said nothing now.
"Ahem, can you listen to me?" Parker stood up and gave Zuo Xiaoyou a kind-hearted smile.
Everyone looked at him, Zuo Xiaoyou nodded: "Please speak."
"Well, that's what I think." Parker said: "I heard from Teacher Ulis that the earth where Brother Zuo is located has no magic power, so you, who have eaten countless spiritual fruits, are just a very ordinary person on Earth."
Zuo Xiaoyou looked at him calmly: "So what?"
"But you have endless magic power in this world." Parker said: "Look, you are just an ordinary person in your own world, but you can become a great magician that everyone admires in this world. No matter how you look at it, it is better to live here! And Livia is one of the top ten beauties in the Holy Demon Continent, the dream lover of men all over the world. Think about it, wealth, honor, status, beauty, as long as you stay in this world, you will have whatever you want, why bother back to the earth and be an ordinary person for an ordinary life!"
“…”
Seeing Zuo Xiaoyou remained silent, Fei Ouya also persuaded: "Mr. Zuo Xiaoyou, although I shouldn't say anything more with your relationship, I think Parker is right. In this world, you can get everything you want, so why bother to go back and be an ordinary person in the crowd!"
Zuo Xiaoyou showed a hesitation.
"Xiaoyou, Princess Fei'a is right." Seeing Zuo Xiaoyou shaken, Linka struck while the iron was hot: "As long as you can win the magic competition championship on behalf of the Kingdom of Babnica, I will ask Your Majesty to give you a Marquis, and give you a luxurious mansion and a fiefdom, so that you can do what you want on your fiefdom. Isn't that great!"
"That's right." Ulis also persuaded: "Only with a title, mansion and fiefdom, you can support Livia. Then let Livia give birth to a few children for you. You can live here with peace of mind, study space magic, find your way home, whether to go or stay, and it's not too late to make a decision."
Ulis's words touched Zuo Shizhi. If he could really get everything in this world, then returning to the earth was not his urgent choice. On the earth, he was alone, except for having to sing an incense stick for his parents every year on Qingming Festival, and there was nothing to worry about. Moreover, there was no magic on the earth. When he returned, he was just an ordinary person who went with the flow. Maybe he would marry an ordinary woman to live in the future, and then give birth to two children in ordinary times, then raise children in ordinary times, and eventually die in ordinary times. Is such a life really what he wants?
"Okay!" Zuo Xiaoyou said: "I can fight on behalf of the Kingdom of Babnica, but don't talk about Livia anymore. I'm not mentally prepared."
"You boy." Seeing Zuo Xiaoyou agree, Linka and Ulis breathed a sigh of relief, but Ulis was very unhappy: "Others can't chase after Livia, but this time Livia will give you a gift, but you refused repeatedly. Do you look down on Livia?"
