Chapter 49. All-rounder, with many skills

Qin Weining was very happy to learn that she could learn magic (?). Even when she heard later that the tuition fee was for cooking, she was still very happy.

What is cooking?
She will eat it herself anyway, so it’s no big deal to make one more portion.

Moreover, one can learn this skill just by cooking one more meal. If this condition is thrown out, it will probably attract a lot of crazy people.

Qin Weining is not stupid. She knows very well that the purpose of teaching her at the party today is to enable her to protect herself. As for the tuition fee, it is just an excuse for her to accept it with peace of mind.

She didn't show it on her face, but she was deeply moved in her heart, and her eyes became softer when she looked at Jinjiu.

Jinjiu felt uneasy when she looked at him.

"what happened?"

"No, I just wanted to ask Sister Jiu what you like to eat. Since it's tuition, you can't be so casual in the future."

Jin Jiu didn't think much about it and didn't say anything polite. She recalled the meals she had eaten in this world and casually mentioned a few of her favorites.

"Okay, then we'll eat what you said tonight." Qin Weining was about to wash the dishes, but was stopped by Jinjiu.

Qin Weining thought Jinjiu wanted to help wash the dishes and was about to refuse, but then he saw several palm-sized paper figures standing on the table.

The paper figures were small, and although they were just blank pieces of paper, Qin Weining inexplicably felt that when they faced him, there were pairs of eyes looking at him.

Qin Weining:!!!

Qin Weining felt his scalp tingling instantly, and his limbs began to slowly stiffen. Qin Weining was really scared.

Although she knew Jinjiu was capable, she didn't expect him to be so capable.

"This is?"

"They're just little gadgets. I'll teach you when I get a chance. I'll leave the dishwashing job to them." As he said that, the paper figures fell to the ground with a clatter.

They walked towards the kitchen step by step, and then climbed onto the stove nimbly.

There are three paper figures in total, one is responsible for operating the faucet, one is responsible for washing dishes, and the other is responsible for rinsing and placing the dishes.

Qin Weining had a complicated expression: "They are paper people, aren't they afraid of water?" She felt like she had watched the horror movie in vain.

She clearly remembered the paper figures in the horror movies she had seen before, whose weaknesses were either water or fire.

"What's wrong with being afraid of water? It can be solved by drawing a water-repellent pattern." Jinjiu disagreed.

It was true that she learned how to make this paper man from a horror movie in this world.

After returning from Aunt Yang's house, Jinjiu learned a lot about the entertainment industry in this world. He listened to a lot of songs, but few of them were good. He watched a lot of movies and TV series, but few of them were good.

Jinjiu really doesn't understand why some people can keep saying "Ahhh, so sweet, so sweet" to a brainless drama where the protagonist doesn't even have a mouth. Jinjiu doesn't think it's sweet. She just feels that it's making things difficult for herself when she watches it.

However, Jinjiu quickly found its comfort zone.

It all started when she watched a horror movie.

Although she did not find them scary, these films provided her with a lot of inspiration about the metaphysical powers of this world, paper dolls being among them.

"Can I learn it? It's this paper figure."

"You want to learn puppetry?"

Qin Weining was puzzled: "Isn't it a paper figure? What does it have to do with puppetry?"

Jin Jiu knew that she didn't understand, so he patiently explained: "The paper man itself is a dead object. It can move because of puppetry. The paper man is just a carrier of the puppetry's energy."

Qin Weining understood.

"Can I learn puppetry?"

Jinjiu took out something like a stone and said, "Let's see your talent first, just hold the stone." Qin Weining didn't understand, but held the stone obediently. Then the stone glowed slightly, and the color seemed to be light green.

Jinjiu is not surprised by this result.

She knew Qin Weining didn't understand, so she explained: "This is a test to see if you have attribute talent. Green is the wood element talent. The brighter the light, the better the talent."

Qin Weining looked at the faint green light that was weaker than the will-o'-the-wisp at night, and said with regret: "So does that mean I don't have any talent?"

"Well... that's not the case. Anyway, you can learn it. As long as you work hard, self-defense won't be a problem."

Jinjiu wanted to say that this talent was indeed very poor, but this world was not a magical world. There might not be many people in the world who could make stones glow, so there was no need to compare it with another world.

Qin Weining felt relieved when he heard that he could learn it.

Seeing Jinjiu preparing to put away the stone, she was a little curious: "Sister Jiu, you must be very talented, right?"

"Of course." Jinjiu had no idea what modesty was.

The main reason is that her strength itself does not allow her to be humble.

"So what is your attribute? I'm just curious. It's inconvenient to tell you."

"I am all-rounder."

Qin Weining: “…” How immodest!

However, Qin Weining definitely believed what Jinjiu said.

After that, Jinjiu first gave Qin Weining a brief introduction to some of the skills she knew, such as puppetry, talisman magic, inscription magic, formation magic... Of course, the most powerful one must be divination.

Today, the all-powerful wizard, wine is no joke.

"If you want to learn quickly, talisman magic is the easiest; puppet magic is the most difficult, but it is flexible and can be used anytime and anywhere; inscription magic has the widest range of uses, but it is more difficult to learn..." Jinjiu went on to talk about the characteristics of various skills.

In the end, Qin Weining decided to learn the art of inscription.

The art of inscription, to put it simply, is to engrave different patterns to produce different effects.

The various types of glass beads that Jinjiu had previously wholesaled were actually inscribed products, and each glass bead had a different inscription on it.

Hearing that Qin Weining wanted to learn the art of inscription, Jin Jiu did not refuse. She went straight home and brought back a book that was as thick as three Xinhua dictionaries.

The four big characters on the cover of the book were "Basics of Inscriptions", which made Qin Weining's head buzz.

"Sister Jiu, do I have to read the whole book?"

"To be precise, it's not about seeing, but understanding. There are about 5,300 kinds of inscription techniques here. As long as you can understand one of them, you can start learning."

Just like there are eight major cooking styles, each with its own cooking methods, the same is true for inscriptions. Different inscription techniques have different learning processes and results.

Qin Weining took a deep breath and thought that even if it was just to protect herself, she had to learn it.

What's more, this is Jinjiu's good intention, and after she can protect herself, her parents can rest assured and don't have to worry about her being bullied all the time.

"Okay, I will try my best."

For the next week, Qin Weining basically stayed at home. He only communicated with Jinjiu who came to eat with him during the three meals. The rest of the time he was studying the basics of inscriptions.

On this day, Jinjiu walked towards 1404 in his slippers as usual, but he almost bumped into a person who was wrapped up tightly.

"Feel sorry."

The other party apologized quickly, only glancing at Jinjiu with his eyes exposed. When he saw that Jinjiu didn't say anything, he walked to the door of 1403 and opened it to go in.
