SIAS Chapter 172.2

Now the cooking skill is Level 3 – 35%, the incense-making skill is Level 2 – 76%, and the paper-folding skill is Level 2 – 60%.

The cooking skill has made the slowest progress. It has been nearly a month since the last upgrade, and it has only increased by 13%. The incense-making skill is about the same, with an increase of 14%, while the paper-folding skill has increased by 60%.

Paper-folding is the easiest and fastest skill to learn in the early stages.

This is because, before Level 3, paper-folding skills basically involve learning the form of paper-folding. After Level 3, the focus is on the ‘meaning’, and only after understanding the ‘spirit’ can one advance to Level 6.

Compared with the complicated and delicate incense making, there is also the cooking which has reached Level 3 and requires higher skills.

The upgrade speed of paper-folding skills is several times higher.

Yi Qingqing immediately decided that for the time being, she would put aside the study of other skills and just stay at home to learn the paper-folding skill. She must upgrade the paper-folding skill to Level 3 before starting to dig the ditch and earn 10 sign-in reward points.

Anyway, it’s the slack season now, and there’s nothing to do, so there’s nothing wrong with studying all day long.

Moreover, paper-folding requires hands-on practice, so it won’t be too boring if she learns it for a long time.

Considering her previous learning speed and the remaining time, there shouldn’t be any problem in rushing to the next level.

So, the next day, when the others made an appointment to go to the county town to buy things, Yi Qingqing refused and did not go.

The reason was that she had been there several times before, so there was no need to buy anything for the time being. She would go there by herself after a period of time.

From then on, she began her life of studying at home.

Every day, she only came out to wash, eat, and fetch water from the well outside. The rest of the time, she lay on the fluffy and soft kang and entered the skill-teaching mode to learn paper-folding from Master Bai.

Others didn’t think that it was strange because she had a back door. When they saw her front door was always closed, they would think that she had gone to the mountain from the back door.

Poor Yun Guyuan, except for occasionally going to the county town to take orders and earn some money, he spent the rest of his time hanging around in the back mountain, but he never had the chance to meet Yi Qingqing.

He could only see her and say a few words to her every morning when she fetched water.

Even though he lived right across from her, when he missed her, he could only take out the photos and the clothes she made for him to remind him of her, and then use the strong promise of working together as motivation to spur himself forward.

Yi Qingqing was completely attracted by the various and endless paper-made products taught by Master Bai.

Now she has begun to learn to make some more complicated large items, such as paper-made houses and objects.

It feels like playing with mini toys.

With this paper-folding technique, she can make a miniature world, which is quite interesting.

She can almost learn while playing.

Now she has grasped the most basic points of making ordinary qualified paper-made products, which is to treat each of her works with heart. This kind of emotional injection is the most essential difference between paper-made products and machine-made paper products.

She liked the process of making paper-made products, so she naturally paid attention to it.

*****

The author has something to say:

—Sugar-Sprinkling Little Theater—

Yun Guyuan: Why don’t I have a skill sign-in location? I have all the abilities, so am I not worthy of a skill sign-in location?

Tian Dao: You have to ask yourself. There are gains and losses in everything. You chose to crack the Sign-in System and made a plug-in for Maru, so the original program is naturally gone.

Yun Guyuan: So angry! (｀ﾍ´)=3
