Sunday arrived as usual.
While Chen Ping was still digesting knowledge in the Lord's Hall, a whooshing sound came from outside.
He glanced at the window and saw that it was just dawn.
"This guy, he came so early?"
Chen Ping got up and left the Lord's Hall, opening the door to see Max greeting him with a smile.
He was still dressed like a gentleman in a suit.
When he saw Chen Ping, Max's eyes erupted with dazzling light, like stars!
"Ho, let me see, all nine gates gathered, you condensed the Visualization World?"
"Ha, good boy, you didn't disappoint me."
"I can't wait to see what knowledge you've gained."
Max became very excited; he didn't even try to hide it, rubbing his hands together like a fly.
However, Chen Ping remained very calm.
Learning in the Hall of Knowledge had made him understand many things.
Compared to before, he was now incomparable.
"If I'm not mistaken, you can only get three pieces of knowledge from me, whether they are duplicates or not."
"If you want more, then you'll have to pay a certain price."
Chen Ping said with a smile, completely unafraid of Max suddenly turning hostile.
Max's excited expression froze, and then he shook his head helplessly.
"So, I really hate these rules."
Max grumbled.
But he wasn't surprised.
After all, someone who could pass all nine trials and establish a Visualization World would naturally acquire enough knowledge.
With more knowledge, even if things weren't clear, they could be deduced.
The contract on him was maintained by the power of the highest dimension and could not be violated.
Even if someone recorded his affairs through various means, they would be ignored due to the power of the highest dimension.
That's why Chen Ping saw the first dean's travelogue covered in dust.
This was actually the influence of the rule's power.
People intentionally or unintentionally forgot about the book that contained relevant information.
"First, give me three pieces of knowledge."
"Second, give me nine more pieces of knowledge, and I will give you equivalent valuable resources based on their evaluation."
Max's expression became serious, and he held up two fingers as he spoke to Chen Ping.
Chen Ping nodded.
He was also curious how Max would obtain knowledge from him.
Max took out a small scale from his person.
The main body of the scale was a human figure, with arms outstretched, each hand holding a tray.
Max reached out and made a grasping motion, and Chen Ping felt a force fall upon him.
Immediately after, he felt his head sway, and three clusters of starlight floated out from him, landing on the tray.
At the same time, a red scroll, shaped like a contract, appeared on the corresponding other tray.
Balance was established, and the starlight was sucked into Max's body through his mouth.
He closed his eyes, as if savoring some delicious food.
A few minutes later, Max opened his eyes, a look of excitement on his face.
"Very good, a new piece of knowledge! I am very interested in the depth of your learning!"
"Come, come, let's trade!"
Max once again held up the scale, and that mysterious power acted upon Chen Ping again.
But this time the feeling was different; Chen Ping found that he could independently choose the type and quantity of knowledge to be extracted.
This feeling was very subtle; knowledge, which was clearly immeasurable, now had specific divisions at this moment.
Like goods.
Chen Ping took a deep look at the scale, thinking that perhaps it was the ability of this item.
This should be a divine artifact.
He couldn't speak; from the moment the transaction was established, he and Max entered a state of silence.
This was a process that required strategy.
He had to try to select knowledge that Max didn't have.
But at the same time, whether or not to give Max sufficiently profound knowledge also needed to be weighed by Chen Ping himself.
Before he understood what kind of character Max truly was, rashly giving high-level knowledge was a risky move.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Ping selected one piece of knowledge from each of his nine major knowledge domains.
When the nine clusters of starlight appeared, Max's expression changed when he saw two of them were as large as fists.
Ding-a-ling.
The knowledge starlight fell into the scale, heavily pressing down one side of the tray.
Max waved his hand, and the train car doors behind him opened one after another, various resources and materials were casually picked up by him and placed inside.
Iron ore, gold ore, silver ore, food, population, timber, equipment...
One by one, they were placed on it, but the scale only recovered about half its balance.
Seeing this, Max's expression actually twisted.
And Chen Ping, seeing the materials and resources he placed, also felt a surge of emotion.
Each material was one hundred standard units, which could be used for level three or four territories.
But even so, it couldn't match the weight of his knowledge.
So, how expensive was knowledge, exactly?
Max rested a hand on his chin, falling into thought.
The train behind him slowly turned, and behind the locomotive, an additional car appeared out of thin air.
Max took out a key and turned it against the car, finally opening the car door.
Inside the car was a world like the starry sky; clearly, this car was extraordinary.
Max grabbed a black, palm-sized statue from within.
When the statue was placed on the tray, a ding-a-ling sound finally rang out.
It balanced...
