Transmigrated into a Grandpa, Embracing the Laid-Back Life

Chapter 11: Inventorying Supplies

In the schoolhouse, the clear sound of reading aloud couldn't suppress the children's excited discussions.

"My father said if I can get the spot, he'll buy me a complete set of writing materials!" a chubby boy wearing silk clothes boasted loudly.

"I heard from my second uncle that Qingshi Town is huge, a hundred times bigger than our village!"

Su Ming turned a deaf ear, spreading out the hemp paper Su Shan had bought him, carefully copying the lesson text stroke by stroke with his new brush.

His concentration caught Teacher Zhou's attention, and also drew dissatisfaction from another person.

"Hmph, what's the use of cramming at the last minute?" a sarcastic voice sounded.

Su Ming looked up—it was Zhao Rui, the village chief's son. His family was well-off, he was one of the top students in the schoolhouse, and also the strongest contender for this spot.

Zhao Rui glanced sideways at the new paper and brush on Su Ming's desk, curling his lips: "Oh, got new gear? Your family's really willing to spend. But even with the best brush, what you write still looks like chicken scratch."

Several followers immediately burst into laughter.

Su Ming ignored him, lowering his head to continue writing.While Su Ming endured torment in the schoolhouse, Lin Yu was taking stock of his "assets" inside the ring.

"Ah, I'm really dirt poor."

His soul form floated in the storage space, looking at the scattered items before him.

In the corner sat a small pile of dull, lackluster stones—a few low-grade spirit stones with nearly depleted spiritual energy.

"Just this little stash isn't even enough to fill the cracks between teeth. If used for Su Ming, I probably wouldn't even hear a sound."

Beside them stood a broken sword, with only half the blade remaining and an ancient hilt, covered in rust stains.

"A murder weapon, pass. This thing has too much killing intent—Su Ming's frail body would get seriously ill just from touching it."

What concerned Lin Yu most were three jade slips lying quietly.

He moved his soul form closer, extending his consciousness into one of them. Complete chaos—the restrictions on it couldn't be broken with his current soul power.

"Damn, encrypted files."
