Synopsis: After the college entrance exams, Lin Zhou unexpectedly obtained a mysterious antique while traveling, and embarked on a fascinating life of “trading reading for skills.” He thought he could cultivate immortality with the Classic of Mountains and Seas and comprehend the Way with the Tao Te Ching, but all he unlocked were “oddball” skills like [Describing Strange Beasts Lv. 1] and [Introduction to Philosophical Reasoning Lv. 1]. Once he accepted reality, he picked up his high school textbooks and started studying from scratch. With basic skills like factoring polynomials and translating classical Chinese, he stood out in his university classes, explored the sea of knowledge alongside his top-student girlfriend, and used practical skills synthesized from others, such as “Middle School Math Lv. 1” and “Introduction to Marketing Lv. 1,” to rise from street vending to starting his own business. In this modern city without supernatural powers, a young man uses the simplest means to turn every page he reads into a boost to his life.
