Brush Up Your Proficiency

#138 - Morning News

When Wang Hao returned home, Wang Lan greeted him, saying that her best friend's father wanted Wang Hao's phone number. She didn't know the specific reason, but she gave it to him out of consideration for her friend.

Hearing Wang Lan's words, Wang Hao couldn't help but wonder if the other party wanted to recruit him because of his medical skills.

He said to Wang Lan, "They probably want to poach me. Something similar happened at the restaurant today."

Wang Hao briefly recounted what Cheng Yufei and the others had said, then casually poured himself a glass of water and drank it.

Wang Lan had returned home directly after freeloading at the restaurant, so she missed the incident. Now, hearing Wang Hao say this, she couldn't help but imagine the scene of them fighting over her brother, which must have been quite a spectacle.

Thinking about it, Wang Lan couldn't help but giggle. She was happy to see Wang Hao being fought over, as it meant her brother was capable and popular.

Like a couple in love, if a man is plain-looking but three or four women are fighting over him, people will naturally assume that this man must have something special about him and feel envious. Wang Lan felt that it was a particularly face-boosting thing to think about.

At that moment, Wang Hao looked at his sister, who seemed to be immersed in some kind of fantasy again, and shook his head slightly helplessly. He was already used to his sister's sometimes-abstract behavior.

When Wang Lan came back to her senses from her fantasy, she asked about the details with a gossipy look, as if the fantasy in her mind needed to be filled with real-life details.

But Wang Hao didn't want to continue the topic. He asked his sister in an elder-like tone what she had done all day.

After that, he planned to wash up and continue reading the mysterious book in his opinion, to see what effect the upgraded reading skill would have on that special book.

However, at this moment, he suddenly remembered the problem with his appearance that Li Qiang had teased him about all day, so he asked Wang Lan if there was any way to cover it up. He really couldn't stand being looked at like a "monkey" all day.

Hearing this, Wang Lan looked at the serious Wang Hao with a strange expression, thinking: "Others are afraid that they are not good-looking enough, and desperately go for cosmetic surgery, but he is good, he actually dislikes himself for being too good-looking, and wants to restore himself to his original appearance!"

She couldn't help but feel a little angry, muttering to herself: "My silly brother is really unaware of his good fortune!" This Versailles-like remark made her want to beat him up.

Wang Hao looked at the increasingly gloomy expression on his sister's face and the slightly clenched small fist, and subconsciously took a step back.

Although he knew that even an enraged sister could not pose any threat to him, it was no longer a question of whether he could beat her, but that the current atmosphere was a bit strange and tense.

Wang Lan barely managed to control her emotions, snorted at Wang Hao, then turned her head and walked into the room, leaving only a proud back to Wang Hao.

Wang Hao was confused by his sister's sudden change of mood. Although he was full of doubts, he had no clue, so he had no choice but to shake his head helplessly and turn around to go back to his room to turn on the computer and search for relevant information online.

Just as he was about to return to the room, Wang Lan's door suddenly opened, and she threw a small bottle to Wang Hao, then said fiercely: "This can darken the skin and make the three-dimensional features less three-dimensional, which can achieve the effect you want."

After Wang Lan finished speaking, she closed the door again without waiting for Wang Hao's reply.

Wang Hao looked at the bottle in his hand, slightly stunned. He didn't expect his sister to have such a thing.

He originally thought that he needed to find other ways to change his appearance, but now it seemed that his sister had already solved the problem for him.

He couldn't help but sigh: "My sister has really grown up. She is no longer the innocent little girl. She understands a lot of things, even more mature than I imagined."

Thinking of this, Wang Hao felt a surge of relief and emotion in his heart.

As time goes by, they are constantly growing and changing. And this change is also a part of life.

After that, Wang Hao happily went to wash up. After washing up, he took out the small bottle, carefully poured the liquid inside onto his hands, and then gently applied it to his entire face.

He carefully observed himself in the mirror and found that the effect was indeed good. Although he couldn't completely restore it to its original appearance, it was much more low-key than it is now.

Wang Hao nodded in satisfaction, secretly rejoicing that he had such a smart and capable sister. He decided to increase his sister's pocket money again in the future. It makes sense to raise sons poorly and daughters richly, and he feels that he has the conditions now.

Looking at himself in the mirror again, Wang Hao returned to the room refreshed and took out the first volume of "Lao Zhuang" from the ancient box.

He took a deep breath, his mood gradually calmed down, and then gently opened the book. As the pages turned, an ancient and profound aura came over him.

The upgraded reading skill was like a key, quickly opening Wang Hao's mind, allowing him to immerse himself in the world of the book more quickly. His thoughts were like a wild horse running free.

Compared to before, the current reading experience is like a gorgeous transformation. If the previous reading was a steam engine, then now it is an efficient fuel engine, and the efficiency has been greatly improved.

However, even with the upgraded reading skills as an aid, the breadth and depth of "Lao Zhuang" still shocked Wang Hao. This ancient book contains endless wisdom and philosophy, and its depth and breadth are far beyond what ordinary books can match. Every page is full of challenges and surprises.

Although the intermediate reading skill gave Wang Hao a stronger ability to understand, it was still a difficult task to interpret the complete principles in "Lao Zhuang" at a normal reading speed.

Faced with such a profound work, Wang Hao needed to devote more time and energy to carefully comprehend its mysteries.

"Congratulations, you have gained insights from reading ancient books, proficiency in intermediate reading + 20, current proficiency: Intermediate Reading 20/1000"

With the appearance of this prompt, Wang Hao, immersed in the world of "Lao Zhuang", fell asleep unconsciously, with a smile on his face that said, "If I hear the Tao in the morning, I can die in the evening."

As Wang Hao's understanding became thorough, the first page of "Lao Zhuang" was gently turned over by him.

Wang Hao's spirit also seemed to be strengthened, and the eyes covered by his eyelids became brighter and brighter.
