Chapter 950 - Chapter 950 Chapter 923 He Who Takes the Benefit Finds Himself
Chapter 950: Chapter 923: He Who Takes the Benefit, Finds Himself at a Disadvantage (Thanks to kateliu for the silver reward +64 more) Chapter 950: Chapter 923: He Who Takes the Benefit, Finds Himself at a Disadvantage (Thanks to kateliu for the silver reward +64 more) Such a down-to-earth name really makes it hard to associate with the mysterious Psychiatry Department school of thought.
When Kiara first saw this name, she thought it was a prank. Could it be that the Bookstore Boss, seeing how many hypnosis-related books she had purchased, decided to play a little joke on her?
But after she continued reading, Kiara completely dismissed that thought and became seriously engrossed.
Seven-Acre Farm originated from a group of elites from different fields; some were proficient in psychiatric treatment, others in hypnosis, and some in pharmaceuticals and mysticism–yes, mysticism. Because the term originally written was “metaphysics,” which can translate to either mysticism or metaphysics. However, it seemed the author didn’t find it precise enough and crossed it out, replacing it with the pinyin, xuan.
So, the owner of this notebook probably wasn’t a foreigner.
Kiara continued reading about how these people formed a small Organization called Seven-Acre Farm, and each of them brought in many Apprentices. One of them was skilled in hypnosis, followed by a detailed explanation of the method.
Kiara couldn’t put down the notebook after holding it.
Despite all the information she’d gathered, none were as useful as this one.
Even though this notebook only had a dozen-plus pages, after reading it all, she felt like she had unlocked the doors to the world. Some professional segments made Kiara slap the desk in amazement; it was possible to do it this way!
When Mario Yuno returned, he found Kiara sitting cross-legged on the bay window, captivated by an old-looking notebook and not even noticing when he came in.
“What’cha reading?”
“Ah!” Kiara, immersed in a sea of knowledge, jumped at the sudden interjection, nearly sending the notebook flying from her hands.
“So annoying!” After realizing it was him, Kiara hit him in a mix of anger and embarrassment.
“I’ve been standing here for almost a minute!” Camden expressed his grievance!
“Wifey, what are you looking at? Gosh, these bird script letters are so pretentious!”
English cursive, if joined to a certain extent, is really difficult for ordinary people to recognize. Mario Yuno noticed a thick English dictionary on the small wooden table, indicating that the text Kiara was looking at was quite complex; she even needed to consult a dictionary. It was worth noting that his daughter-in-law almost got a perfect score on level 6 of her exams.
“It’s stuff related to our field,” Kiara said wistfully as she closed the notebook.
After reading it, she understood that implant hypnosis, though seeming complex, was not complicated to perform; but without this notebook, she never would have guessed.
“Getting so engrossed in something work-related, you wouldn’t tell me otherwise I’d think it was the Sunflower Treasure,” Camden joked.
Kiara huffed, “You’re actually right, to people in our field, this really is like an introductory and advanced martial arts manual!”
The method was not difficult; what’s difficult was that nobody could think of it.
“Who gave it to you?”
Camden asked, and in the span of a second, the delighted expression on Kiara’s face froze solid.
As she read, she had already begun to understand a bit about whose notebook it was, yet she didn’t really want to admit it.
This item was priceless; it was an exclusive secret manuscript not to be shared with anyone besides close Apprentices. How much Money did the Marbled Cat Clan make with this trick? It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it a money tree.
The one who could write this must be an authority among authorities, and a Chinese person with an overseas background…
In Kiara’s mind, Yuzo Joel’s disgustingly mushy voice seemed to appear: “Kiara~ come on, come and become my Apprentice~”
Camden felt he had just asked a very simple question, just inquiring who gave the engrossing notebook to his daughter-in-law, so why did she have the face of someone constipated for over a dozen days?
Beyond thinking of Yuzo Joel, Kiara also thought of an adage.
He who takes another’s bread eats a mouthful of obligations, he who takes another’s hand feels it always halfway down their throat.
“I don’t know whose it is; it was a free gift from the Bookstore Boss!”
Right, exactly, Mrs. Kiara decided to play innocent.
After all, that guy Yuzo Joel didn’t sign his work, and he craftily slipped it among the books Kiara bought.
Kiara didn’t need to guess to know it was Aka who leaked her whereabouts; Yuzo Joel’s network of connections was always astonishing, and it seemed his deductive skills weren’t bad either.
Kiara believed that the Marbled Cat Clan must also be Yuzo Joel’s people, otherwise how would he know that she had clashed with them and give her such a book directly?
Could it be that this member of the Marbled Cat Clan was Yuzo Joel’s apprentice, and Yuzo Joel intended to lure her in by giving her this book, pfft!
Mrs. Kiara was not the least bit grateful, it was like letting a dog bite someone and then saying with feigned innocence, “Let me rub it for you.” She was not about to accept that kind of concern.
So, Mrs. Kiara gloriously played dumb, pretending she didn’t know this was a book from Yuzo Joel.
“This store provides good service, alright, I’ll buy things from here in the future.” Camden’s cleverness lay in the fact that he knew it wasn’t what it seemed but never pointed out the loopholes in Kiara’s words.
What she didn’t want to say, he didn’t ask.
Kiara placed the book aside, “I’m going to change, then we’ll go out to eat.”
“Just so happens elder Brother came over today, he said he wanted to treat us both to a feast.”
Camden casually picked up the book, not because he wanted to see the contents, but purely out of interest in the appearance of this exquisite antique book.
Kiara had just changed and was about to call him to leave when she saw Mario Yuno flipping the book over and over, seemingly studying it.
“What are you doing?”
“There’s something inside this book’s compass cover.”
With a thin piece of wire and a bit of force, a piece of paper fell out.
This compass looked like a delicate leather carving, and Kiara, who had held it for an afternoon, had not noticed that it was actually sewn on.
Camden’s sixth sense was stronger than most, and as soon as he got his hands on the book, he felt something was off. Turning it over and looking at it from different angles, he eventually discovered that there was paper hidden inside the leather carving.
“What is this, a treasure map?” Kiara mumbled.
“Stick with me and you’ll never go hungry, right? If this is a treasure map, we’re going to be rich. Let me take a look–wow, it really is a map?”
Mario Yuno spread out the paper; on it, a thin sheet of paper, was drawn a pattern.
But it wasn’t a treasure map–it was–
“Who’s the idiot who stuffed this thing in here? What is this drawing, an alien that’s been run over or a pitted rotten frog that’s been stepped on by spiked shoes?”
Kiara took the paper and looked at it over and over, seeing two unidentifiable creatures.
This was something that required the expertise of Mario Yuno, who had spent years reading comics. Camden studied it carefully and ultimately concluded,
“This is a fox cat, and this is a dog. Fox cats are afraid of dogs.”
“How can you tell it’s a fox cat?”
“Didn’t you see the pattern on its body? This creature next to it, I also spent a long time determining whether it was a dog or a wolf. Analyzing from the angle of the tail, I deduce it’s a dog, though it could also be some other canid.”
After hearing his analysis, Kiara just wanted to say one thing: even Zoe’s drawings, from her Second Brother’s house, were better than this. Really.
Even though Zoe was just a child, this drawing was worse than that of a child’s.
“This thing was hidden so covertly, it’s obviously very important. Daughter-in-law, can’t you identify characters’ traits from their handwriting? What can you tell from this drawing?”
Mario Yuno knew that Kiara’s homework included the ability to analyze personality through a person’s handwriting; he had shown her the handwriting of some soldiers, and Kiara’s conclusions were quite accurate.
“…With a drawing like this, what do you think I can deduce?” Please don’t put a psychologist in such a spot!
Kiara looked over and over, “Fox cat, dog, fox cat, fox–Norris Flowery Fox?!”
What exactly did Yuzo Joel want to convey to her? What did it mean that Norris Flowery Fox was bitten by a dog?
