HCB Chapter 573
Chapter 573
"Brother Su, I didn't expect you to know so much at such a young age."
Chief Pu looked shocked and spoke with admiration.
"Small idea."
Su Yu gave a perfunctory reply, his attention focused entirely on the system notifications in his mind.
[Ding dong, congratulations dear host for discovering SSS-level script material (currently the highest level that the script generator can accommodate) – the original text of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio.]
[Will the script be adapted?]
[Will the adapted script receive an SSS-level rating?]
[Because the quality of this material exceeds the level of this item, a critical hit bonus will be awarded after the script is adapted.]
【…】
Su Yu smiled.
He was right.
The quality of a script adaptation depends on the source material.
It seems that the previous abridged children's version of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio removed many of its essential elements.
otherwise.
It's not that bad; one was rated C-level, and the other exceeded the item's authority.
What surprised Su Yu even more was that, because the source material was so excellent, there was a bonus after the script was generated.
"Of course it was adapted."
Su Yu chose yes without even thinking.
in reality.
After much deliberation, Chief Pu finally voiced his request: "Brother Su, there's something I'd like to ask you for help with, is that alright?"
Tang Lin: "You're already convinced?"
"What!"
Su Yu did not agree immediately.
Seeing this, Chief Pu chuckled and said, "Brother Su, don't worry, you'll definitely be able to help with this."
talking.
Right in front of Su Yu, he took out a dark blue ancient book and handed it over.
“Brother Su, this is the last book left behind by Master Pu before his death.”
Chief Pu felt somewhat embarrassed when he saw that Su Yu hadn't taken the initiative to answer.
But he still spoke up, saying, "This is also the last book in Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio."
"Bring it to you."
Su Yu didn't say a word.
Extract the materials directly!
Chief Pu: "My answer is: 6!"
Seeing Su Yu begin to flip through the book, the Pu clan chief breathed a sigh of relief and finally made a request, saying, "Brother Su, it's like this, the contents of the last page of this book have been undecipherable for generations of our Pu family, so..."
Su Yu immediately understood.
"You want me to take a look for you?"
Chief Pu nodded hurriedly.
"That's right, that's right, that's exactly the idea."
Su Yu snorted coldly.
What's so difficult about that!
What is it?
Difficult!
Su Yu flipped directly to the last page, where he saw wrinkled paper that was clearly soaked in water, with most of the text scattered everywhere.
The few remaining characters that were not submerged in water were not the official language of the Qing Dynasty at that time.
Difficulty increased!!!
Seeing the surprise flash across Su Yu's face, Chief Pu felt a chill in his heart.
He quickly replied, "If it can't be repaired, that's fine. It's good enough that you can recognize these few characters."
The story in Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio has ended on the previous page.
The content on the last page is very likely a message Pu Songling wrote to his descendants.
This is why generations of the Pu family have wanted to find out what is recorded here.
Unfortunately, it was damaged too badly.
but.
This is for other people.
It might be a bit difficult.
But for Su Yu, repairing a piece of paper was nothing special.
After all, he has the system store.
For a thousand universal points, you can redeem a bottle of repair fluid from the system shop.
This will restore the handwriting on the last page.
only……
He wouldn't do something that's thankless and requires a lot of effort.
"It's okay, but..."
Su Yu held the ancient text up to the light and glanced at it, finding that the last page was not severely damaged.
It's laid out as a whole sheet!
According to the instructions for using the repair fluid, the paper can be repaired as long as it is not so badly damaged that it crumbles.
As for the principle behind the repair fluid, it relies on a series of seemingly profound principles, such as the pressure applied by the writer on the paper and the diffusion of the ink.
Restore it!
All in all, all in all.
Products produced by the system must be of high quality.
The quality is excellent.
No counterfeit products!
Chief Pu was somewhat distressed.
"Great, great! The long-cherished wish of the Pu family for generations is finally about to be fulfilled in my hands."
Chief Pu shouted excitedly.
But after regaining his senses, Chief Pu suddenly realized that Su Yu, the sixth son, had not agreed.
Oh shit!
This brat.
He deserves a beating!
If this happened in the Pu family, it would be considered a blasphemous act, and he would be expelled from the clan.
"Brother Su, as long as you restore this ancient book, whatever you need, our Pu family will do everything in our power to get it for you."
They learned that Su Yu really did have a way to fix the last page.
Chief Pu was very excited; a rosy glow crept onto his wrinkled face, making him look several years younger in the dim light.
"Let me think about it..."
For every 150 seconds that Su Yu pondered, Chief Pu suffered an additional two and a half minutes of torment.
"Have you thought about it?"
The chief of the Pu clan asked expectantly.
"no!"
Su Yu's answer almost broke Chief Pu's old back.
Just as Chief Pu was about to continue pleading...
Suddenly, a pleasant female voice came from the courtyard.
"Grandpa Pu, don't be fooled."
Several people looked over at the sound and saw a woman wearing a light blue ancient-style long dress, with long black hair. Under the lamplight, the light blue jade hairpin with auspicious cloud patterns made a crisp clinking sound as she walked.
"Lingling, what brings you here?"
Hear the words.
Pu Xiaoling raised her small, oval face slightly: "Grandpa Pu, if I don't stop now, you won't even know how you were tricked."
Pu Xiaoling walked quickly to Su Yu, her light blue veil fluttering, creating a faint fragrance in the breeze.
"You liar, I'm warning you, don't get any funny ideas."
“I took this ancient book to the capital a long time ago and had it examined by a professional cultural relic restorer.”
"They all say this ancient book is beyond repair. Could it be that you, alone..."
Pu Xiaoling looked Su Yu up and down.
So high!
so big!
So handsome!
Chief Pu: "What a lovesick fool!"
I wish I could kick this unfilial descendant away.
"Ahem, although you are handsome, that doesn't mean you're not a liar."
Pu Xiaoling coughed softly.
A black footprint appeared on the buttocks of the light blue gauze dress.
Pu Xiaoling: "Thank you, Grandpa Pu, for the kick!"
Su Yu sneered upon seeing this.
"Really? Then if I can prove I've restored the last page of the ancient book, what are you going to bet me on?"
Upon hearing Su Yu's words, Pu Xiaoling glanced at the Pu clan chief without leaving a trace.
Chief Pu pursed his lips secretly.
The hand behind his back secretly made a "yeah" gesture.
The reverse psychology tactic worked!
"You can bet whatever you want!!!"
Pu Xiaoling raised her head.
"Then let's gamble..."
Su Yu spoke slowly.
Pu Xiaoling glanced at the Pu clan chief.
"Promise."
A voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz rang in Pu Xiaoling's ears.
Pu Xiaoling gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I agree."
