Chapter 18 General Knowledge Skills
Chapter 18 General Knowledge Skills
Suppressing her excitement, Shinobu Kocho quickly left the room.
A short while later, Shinobu Kocho reappeared with a book half her height in her hand. It looked both new and old; the new binding still had scraps of paper, while the old side was rough from being read so many times.
"These are a compilation of medical techniques related to ghosts from the Butterfly House, as well as medical techniques passed down in my family. Please take a look, sir."
"That's all?"
"These are the catalogs."
"..."
That's just right.
The essential part of studying medicine is cramming through thick textbooks.
"Yes, thank you for your hard work, Miss Butterfly. If I come across any knowledge that I have mastered but which is not fully recorded here, I will supplement it."
"Not at all, thank you for your trouble, Mr. Chu. If you need anything, you can notify the hidden members outside, and they will do their best to meet your needs." After saying that, Shinobu Kocho stood up: "I still need to check on that conscious demon, please forgive me for not being able to accompany you."
These words made Shinobu Kocho feel a little awkward.
She herself would never be so polite, but her sister would be. She had to live in her sister's place for the time being, so she had no choice but to accept these formalities.
"Okay, take care." After thinking for a moment, Chu Wuji added, "That child didn't become a ghost willingly, so don't treat him like an evil spirit."
Don't let Tanjiro kill you; he'll need Tanjiro as a sample later.
Shinobu Kocho paused for a moment as she opened the door, then walked out without answering.
Chu Wuji assumed the other party understood and lowered his head to begin flipping through the book.
With the support of the brain-computer interface, Chu Wuji only needs to glance at these materials to input them into the brain-computer interface, and then he can slowly understand them after they are engraved into his memory.
Therefore, Chu Wuji's behavior was more like turning the pages of a book than reading it.
Before long, all the catalogs had been entered into the brain-computer interface. Chu Wuji also began to have the corresponding medical books delivered, and at the same time, he picked up a pen to annotate them on separate sheets of paper using the real-world medical techniques of the future.
This mechanical movement was extremely boring, but unfortunately, the brain-computer interface required Chu Wuji's pupils to focus, and Chu Wuji couldn't distract himself by playing the mini-games that came with the brain-computer interface.
After an unknown amount of time, a rustling sound came from the doorway, drawing Chu Wuji's attention.
The Japanese-style sliding door had been opened a crack at some point, and four heads peeked out from the doorway, peeking at Chu Wuji.
"Is that the Far East traveler that Lord Shinobu mentioned coming to learn medicine?"
"Hmm, their clothes are different from ours, like what boxers wear, but they have a lot of bandages on their hands and feet. Are they injured?"
"have no idea."
"He flips through the book so fast, is he daydreaming?"
They chirped and chattered like a flock of little sparrows.
"Kids outside, next time you hide, remember to close the door a little smaller," Chu Wuji couldn't help but say.
"Ah! We've been discovered!"
There was a brief commotion outside the door, which then subsided.
A moment later, the back door opened, and one tall, three short, and four small children walked in one after another.
"Sorry, we didn't mean to disturb you." The tallest girl, with pigtails, bowed her head shyly and apologized. "Um... it's dinnertime, would you like us to bring you some food?"
"Mmm!" ×3
"Okay, thank you for your help then." Chu Wuji nodded, but seeing that the other party hadn't left yet, he asked, "Is there anything else?"
The four children looked at each other, and finally the girl with pigtails spoke up: "Um... you flip through the book so fast, can you really remember it?"
Although Aoi is a swordsman and joined the Demon Slayer Corps in the same year as the famous Mist Hashira, Muichiro, she spent just as much time in the Butterfly Mansion as some of the Hidden members, and her medical skills are also quite good, so she naturally had to memorize medical books.
Seeing Chu Wuji flipping through the book at this moment, it's understandable that one would have doubts.
After thinking for a moment, Chu Wuji decided to play with them, which was also a way of answering Kocho Shinobu's question. So he took out a few packets of gummy candies from his pocket: "Then you can test me. If I can't answer, then you win, and these candies are yours."
The Demon Slayer Corps' rewards are extremely generous, and the logistics staff are no exception. The four little ones can be described as rich lolis in the outside world; they've seen it all.
But the four little ones had never seen this kind of gummy candy before. Even the oldest one, Kui, was curious and immediately agreed to the contest.
Who would have thought that after several people tested Chu Wuji with more than ten questions, there wasn't a single one that Chu Wuji couldn't answer. He even answered some strange and obscure knowledge points that they themselves didn't remember having.
"Wow...that's amazing!"
But... I can't get the candy anymore.
Naho Takada's beady eyes darted around as she picked up a book Chu Wuji hadn't read: "Excuse me, what is currently the most effective drug for alleviating demon cell toxins?"
"I haven't read that book yet, how can I answer that?" Chu Wuji was speechless.
"Then we won!" Naho Takada clapped her hands and cheered, "You said that if you couldn't answer, you lost, but you didn't say that you couldn't ask me things you hadn't learned."
"How despicable," the other two beady-eyed sisters whispered.
Naho Takada immediately retorted, embarrassed and annoyed, "Then you guys shouldn't eat it!"
"Hmm..." The two fell silent.
Even Kui's eyes darted around, and she didn't refute.
She didn't want to eat that strange candy... she was just a little curious!
Chu Wuji didn't argue with the children. He had originally planned to give them the candies regardless of whether they won or lost, so he distributed them.
And so, after a daily routine of practicing martial arts in the morning, reading in the afternoon, and occasionally discussing medical techniques with Shinobu Kocho, Chu Wuji obtained something unexpected on his third night at the Butterfly Mansion.
[Player's knowledge base has been detected to meet the requirement; general knowledge skill [Medical Skill] has been unlocked.]
"General knowledge skills?"
After looking through the panel, Chu Wuji understood what this general knowledge skill was.
This is a knowledge-based skill without any levels. Once activated, it can judge the target based on its knowledge reserves. The more knowledge reserves that match the question, the higher the probability of passing the judgment.
Once the judgment is passed, a certain result will be given. For example, if Chu Wuji is interested in a certain medical problem and makes a judgment, he will get the answer; or if Chu Wuji needs to treat a certain person, the treatment will be automatically performed after the judgment is passed.
One incredible aspect of this skill is that Chu Wuji can gamble.
In other words, if Chu Wuji wanted to obtain a medicine that would make him invincible after drinking it, he could also make a judgment, but the probability would be close to infinitesimal.
But if he succeeds, Chu Wuji will truly gain the knowledge to make invincible medicine out of thin air!
"But why didn't it trigger before?" Chu Wuji asked, puzzled.
Before this, Chu Wuji had gone to school, so theoretically, he should have been able to develop general knowledge skills such as physics and chemistry, but in fact, he had not.
"Is it because you learned about dungeons?"
