<h4>Chapter 107: Copying Books</h4>
Qin Liu looked very sensible and honest, like a bunny.
Xie Qiao copied her. She held her head slightly low and looked respectful.
“The final examination ising, so many students are copying books. There are only these genres to be copied now.” The teacher took out a piece of paper with the genres.
Qin Liu looked troubled. “Bad news, Sister Xie. Look at these. They’re not easy…”
“What are these?” Xie Qiao was rather surprised.
“Foreign text, no? Look at this one. It should be from Zhoi. This is from Chouyou, this is from Dongye, and this is the Nanman people’s text. They’re difficult!”
Difficult?
Xie Qiao pursed her lips.
“How many silver beans… to trante this?” asked Xie Qiao.
The teacher stopped reading after hearing that, lifted his head, and looked at her. It was uncertain whether he was smiling. “Five silver beans per page.”
Xie Qiao frowned. “Didn’t you say that tranting these is lucrative?”
Qin Liu was rendered speechless. She pointed at a pamphlet aside. “Look at that. Books like this only have a couple of words on a page… If you’re really familiar, you can trante it very fast.”
Xie Qiao’s eyes lit up.
She had no idea which to choose.
Xie Qiao looked at the teacher and asked, “Can I pick the Zhoi one?”
Zhoi was far away from Qianyuan. Although there was an ocean between them, the two countries traded frequently, and they had a close rtionship. It should be normal that one was familiar with thenguage.
“Of course you can, but there’s a stipted time. Also, we’ll need 10 silver beans as a deposit. If you fail toplete your task, the deposit will be confiscated. If the book is ruined, you’ll need to pay 1,000 silver beans aspensation.”
Xie Qiao felt ufortable in her chest. These silver beans seemed like they could be spent easily…
She had her head filled with those expensive silver beans.
Qin Liu was a little dumbstruck. “You’re familiar with this as well? The text is very difficult. Very few people in the academy know thisnguage…”
“Why? Aren’t there many people who came from Zhoi?” Xie Qiao was confused.
“There are many. However, the people from Zhoi are stingy. They’re very business-minded, and they basically won’t share their personal skills. They’re familiar with our country’snguage and text, and they blend with us when theye here. However, we know very little about them,” exined Qin Liu.
The books they had purchased from them hade at a high price. There were things from Zhoi that were worth learning.
Therefore, they would spread the knowledge when they found out something useful from the trantion and copying.
Xie Qiao found out that the era she was in was very different from her past life’s ancient times.
At least, the aspect of learning about foreign cultures was much more outstanding.
The teacher asked again, “So are you copying or not?”
“I am,” Xie Qiao nodded. She wanted to make silver beans.
As soon as she was done speaking, the teacher took out a book immediately and ced it in her hands. “This book has a total of 40 pages. You’ll be given 200 silver beans after tranting it. The dateline is within seven days. Can you do it?”
“Yes.” Xie Qiao nodded. “How do you guys make sure that my trantion is urate or not?”
“Someone will check through a few pages when you’re done. Your deposit will be confiscated if there’s a mistake. The tranted book will have your name written on it. It’ll be circted around in the future. If there are mistakes…” The teacher smiled.
Xie Qiao was enlightened. If there were mistakes, she would be embarrassed.
She would not allow herself to be humiliated like that. She had no other talent these years. However, she dared to call herself No. 1 when it came to copying books in peace.
Therefore, she epted the task directly.
Qin Liu picked one that was suitable to her immediately. Xie Qiao nced at her. Qin Liu had chosen to copy a medical ssic. Such a book was rather obscure and hard to understand.
However, there was nothing else that she could pick from.
