Lin En got into White Tower Academy, but could barely afford the materials fee for practical classes.
To keep his scholarship, he took a trial job in the specimen preparation room, where he accidentally activated a blank old book.
Monster specimens, magical materials, potions, enchanted devices, and even spells he had truly mastered... Every time he recorded something new, he received a free attribute point.
Add points to perception to spot differences between materials that others overlook; add points to spirit to maintain delicate spell formations; add points to magic power to push his skills to their limits.
From handling slimes and splitting the cost of supplies to repairing equipment and taking part in internships, Lin En steadily grew his collection while keeping an eye on his food budget.
By the time his classmates realized that this scholarship student, who was always gravitating toward obscure courses, had become increasingly difficult to deal with, he had finally made a new plan: to build a collection hall of his own.
However, in the academy ruins, he found archival markings identical to those in his catalog. Someone did not want this old knowledge brought to light again.
