Chapter 9: Primary School First Grade Textbook Star Pattern

  It's really late now.

  However, Tang's family was really respectful of teachers and teachings. No matter how late it was, Tang Zheng still managed to get the flower pot he wanted.

  After Tang Xiaotang left, Tang Zheng took out the paper-wrapped flower king from his bag.

  "Hey little treasure, let me take a look, is it damaged?" Tang Zheng carefully examined the flower king.

  Nothing's wrong.

  Kao is Kao after all.

  After going through so much turmoil, it still shines brightly and shows no signs of withering.

  Of course, Tang Zheng's handling and storage techniques for materials are also a major factor in keeping Huawang fresh!

  "Come." Tang Zheng locked the door, rolled up his sleeves, and began to dig and transplant with a grunt.

  The moonlight pours in from the back window, falling on the paper-like golden flowers, seven layers of petals bathing in silver light, slowly unfolding, although not as dazzling as under the daytime sun, but seemingly with a hint of mystery belonging to the night.

  "It's alive." Tang Zheng didn't bring any life-saving skills with him, but his experience was still there. With one glance at the unfolded petals, he knew that this flower king shouldn't die.

  He recalled the layout of the small courtyard again.

  In the middle of the courtyard is a hall, behind which is a study room where Tang Zheng is currently located. Next to the study room is also a bedroom, not too big but still clean.

  Tang Zheng thought for a moment and placed Huawang on the windowsill of his bedroom, then pulled over a screen to slightly block it.

  After washing up and lying on the soft bed, Tang Zheng finally calmed down for the first time.

  Starry Continent...

  Constellation...

  Nine Star Destiny Palace

  As soon as he entered this unfamiliar world, it was one crisis after another. There was no novice protection at all, and there was too much information, which he didn't even have time to digest or sort out.

  "The continent of Xingyao, nine states and four seas, a world where powerful families hold sway. What I've encountered so far is probably just a tiny fraction of it."

  "Destiny. Tian Meng said that even a beggar, once born, will have their own destiny... Then, what about outsiders? What about me? Won't it be instant noodles, mobile phones, and internet cafes?"

  "Nine Star Fate Palace...... Hmm, this is really difficult for me, I've never heard of it before......"

  Just a little tidying up and before he had even thought deeply about it, Tang Zheng knew that this choice of his would lead to a road fraught with difficulties.

  But his eyes were getting brighter and brighter.

  This is what "stranger" means!

  This is what "unknown" means!

  These two words represent difficulties and dangers in themselves, but on the other hand, they also represent countless possibilities of life!

  What is called infinite possibilities?

  To put it bluntly, even if he chose to be reborn and became the richest person in the world, he would still grow old, get sick, and die...

  But on this Star Continent, a true strongman transcending life and death is not a problem at all!

  "It's so important to be alive, because if a person dies with money unspent, it would be too painful...” Tang Zheng subconsciously came up with this idea, then he slapped his own head, "Damn it! What kind of upbringing did I have?!"

  The line of words carved on the game warehouse for ten years, he did not forget, nor can he forget!

  One day I will no longer be busy for money, at that time, I will let the whole world remember who I am! - Tang Zheng.

  If his purple gold belt can be opened, the first half of this gambling curse is almost fulfilled. So, can he do the second half and give himself an explanation?

  The smile on Tang Zheng's face gradually faded away, and his gaze shifted to the purple gold waistband placed beside his pillow.

  "Can't think too deeply, or all the problems will come," Tang Zheng, a player who was used to dealing with high-difficulty tasks in his past life, was getting a headache. "Does this world really have 'blue' things? What can be used as 'blue'? Are there any spatial tools? And how do you open spatial tools..."

  With a string of headaches, he thought and thought... and actually fell asleep.

  Having a silly attribute is also beneficial!

  Whether the sky falls or the earth sinks, it's all the same - eat well and sleep soundly.

  One evening passed very quietly.

  Tang Zheng did not dream of stars, nor did he dream of purple gold.

  He dreamed of taking out the remaining half bowl of instant noodles from his refrigerator and heating it up to eat.

  "What a nightmare!" The next morning, Tang Zheng woke up with a start, his head still reeling from the dream of last night.

  ……

  Tang Xiaotang got up very early.

  She went to the library before dawn to find books and didn't even eat breakfast. After finding them, she hurriedly sent them over to Tang Zheng.

  The Tang family moved many times, and the books they carried were mostly martial arts classics. Each move would result in fewer books, and other poetry, history, and stories became even scarcer. It was not easy to find usable ones.

  Tang Xiaotang chose a "Poetics", an "Imperial Shuowen Jiezi", and several historical accounts like "The Annals of the Imperial Qing Dynasty". Originally, there were a few more, but after some thought, she didn't give them to Tang Zheng.

  Tang Xiaotang delivered books when Tang Zheng had just gotten up, after eating the breakfast brought by a special person. At this moment, he was doing radio exercises in the courtyard...

  Tang Xiaotang raised her hand and threw the book directly out!

  Tang Zheng's eyes widened and he quickly jumped up to catch it.

  Who would have thought that the stack of books rose and fell steadily in mid-air, drawing a perfect arc, and landed right in the center of the stone table in the small courtyard!

  "I...am going!" Tang Zheng would have definitely smashed his head into that stone table if he hadn't had excellent physical skills.

  "Hahaha...!" Tang Xiaotang burst out laughing in a very impolite manner, "Master, what are you doing?"

  "Little girl!" Tang Zheng gritted his teeth and sat down beside the table, flipping through this stack of books.

  The characters are traditional Chinese, with no major obstacles.

  The structure of prose and poetry is basically the same as what he has learned, if there must be a difference, it's probably because this world has been chaotic for years, although respecting scholars, but overall still valuing military power over all else, research on poetry and miscellaneous studies has decreased, and slightly more complex things like tone, symmetry, format, etc. are no longer visible.

  It's just that a few historical books are quite interesting, making it easier for Tang Zheng to quickly understand this unknown world.

  Tang Xiaotang sat on one side and saw that he had been silent for half a day, so she couldn't help but ask: "How is it? Can these books be used?"

  Tang Zheng raised his head and asked: "How old are the children I'm going to teach?"

  "From three years old to thirty years old..."

  “……”

  "What's wrong?"

  "Are you sure a thirty-year-old can still be called a kid?" Tang Zheng rubbed his forehead and shook his head, "No no no, wait a minute, that's not the point..."

  The key is, he wants to teach from kindergarten to graduate school?

  One person!

  Heaven and earth are conscience, he himself has not received a complete nine-year compulsory education!

  He is not Ba Jin, nor Da Vinci, nor a scholar in any field. He's just an otaku who eats instant noodles and plays video games!

  "What's wrong?" Tang Xiaotang looked puzzled, "If there's any trouble, just say it, I'll take care of it!"

  "How much per month?"

  Tang Xiaotang thought it was a big problem, but after hearing that, he suddenly took a deep breath: "Thirty silver Tongbao per month! Room and board included!"

  "Go on, and..."

  "Go ahead and say it!"

  "Isn't there a primer like 'Three Character Classic' or 'Thousand Character Essay'?"

  "What are those..."

  "Textbooks for enlightenment are, well," Tang thought for a moment about how to express it, "the first book kids in this generation will read!"

  Tang Xiaotang listened and responded with an "oh", her face suddenly enlightened.

  Then he turned around and went to get it.

  It turns out that Tang Zheng and Tang Xiaotang's communication has absolutely resulted in a huge misunderstanding!

  About a minute later, Tang Xiaotang brought him a small trunk with three words written on it - "Yin Xing Shi". As soon as Tang Zheng opened it, he burst into tears.

  Drawing!

  The small box is filled with flip books!

  Not a single word.

  It's indeed the first book this kid has read in his life!

  "My set of Stellar Guidance has been unused for many years," Tang Xiaotang stroked the small wooden box, "After I lit up my first Life Palace at twelve, I didn't need this anymore. If you think it's useful, I'll give it to you."

  "Starry style...... If that's the case, it should be a primer for cultivating star power......" Tang Zheng flipped through it while listening to Tang Xiaotang's description, and roughly guessed what this set of linked paintings was about.

  "Does Master recognize all these characters?" Tang Xiaotang flipped through a few historical books with his hands, and could only recognize about 70 or 80%.

  "Of course..." Tang Zheng's smug expression had just begun to surface.

  "No wonder Master Tang has time to start cultivating his star power now!" Tang Xiaotang's face was once again filled with realization.

  Tang Zheng decided to shut up.

  Although he had long been accustomed to his own good looks lasting no more than three seconds, now it's not even a question of whether he can last one second!

  Tang Xiaotang tidied up her clothes and stood up: "The primary martial arts training ground is at the easternmost part of Tangjia Fortress, where there are purple gold dust array formations that can help you lay a solid foundation. If you want to practice the Stellar Style, you must go there to train!"

  "I'm 22 this year, is it too late to start practicing?"

  "What nonsense are you talking about?" Tang Xiaotang looked at him with disdain, "As long as it's something you want to do, no age is too late! But if you don't make up your mind to do something, getting older is also a good excuse!"

  "Really?" Tang Zheng's heart warmed slightly.

  "Come on!" Táng Xiǎo Táng smiled, and those youthful and spirited eyes would curve into a crescent moon shape. "If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me anytime!"

  Tang Xiaotang was busy running around for Tang Zheng from early morning and didn't even have time to drink a mouthful of porridge before taking his leave.

  Waiting for her to leave, Tang Zheng opened the small trunk again and re-examined those linked pictures.

  "The Stellar Formula" is not a martial arts secret book, but should be considered as a general enlightenment textbook for the Starlight Continent. There are 17 volumes in total, including "Stellar Patterns and Omens", "Stellar Pulse Flow", "Guiding Stars into Life", and brief introductions to the characteristics of the 14 main stars.

  Tang Zheng temporarily didn't flip through the others and opened the first one on top, which was also the thinnest, "Astrology"!
