Chapter 58, Daomeng Trading Center

In the past month, Gu Fangyan has been very busy every day.

During this time, he frequented the library and spent a lot of time learning about the history of Taoism. The library, located on the side of the main teaching building, is a large four-storey building that houses a large collection of rare books, mostly obscure and secret.

As in many formal libraries, a statue of an ancient sage stands in the center of the hall on the first floor, which strives to imbue with a strong literary connotation. On the second floor, there are many book stacks, which store some historical allusions and literary masterpieces.

Gu Fangyan often goes to the third floor, which is divided into a book area and an electronic reading area, the book area preserves in detail the entire history of the Daomeng from its inception to the present, and it tells the story of the exorcist's tenets that have lasted for thousands of years.

As for the electronic reading room, it is known as the "brain bank" of the Daomeng branch, and a lot of professional knowledge can be directly learned from the electronic materials, including the point system and execution point allocation system of the branch.

It took Gu Fangyan half a month to basically understand the point system here, which is arranged in a pyramid structure, and the more points he has, the more comprehensive the rights he can enjoy in school. The scope of that authority is quite complex and broad, ranging from holding a position to authority to manage resources.

To put it simply, the point system is similar to the reputation score in the game, and if you reach a certain number of points, you can enjoy a lot of school benefits. However, the points are generally linked to the personal behavior of the students, and any disciplinary violations will lead to the deduction of points, and if the students' points are lower than the personal minimum standard line, they will be blacklisted, and the students who enter the blacklist will not be able to perform tasks above C+ for a long time.

Execution points are similar to the currency in the game, and the only way to obtain execution points is to perform tasks, and the number of execution points obtained by different levels of tasks is different. For example, D-level missions can get 1 to 10 execution points, C-level missions can get 11 to 20 execution points, and so on.

The highest-level S-level crusade mission can earn nearly 100 execution points, but such a high level of mission is extremely risky, and only the most senior high-level exorcists can perform it, they are called the crusade group, and they are used to cut off the ultimate blade of the king general, the deadliest humanoid weapon of the Dao Alliance.

In a way, there is a complete and strict hierarchy here, the survival of the fittest, and only its own strength is king. Unfortunately, your efforts will not necessarily be rewarded, everyone has a different starting line, and the yang blood constitution determines everything.

Gu Fangyan sighed, sure enough, you have to fight for your parents in this matter, you are awesome if you have excellent blood, there are always some things that you can't get with no matter how hard you try.

He revisited the information and turned off his computer, the hour hand pointing to five o'clock in the evening.

Before he knew it, he had been squatting here for four hours, and when the computer screen was completely darkened, the tiredness hit him like a tide, Gu Fangyan yawned, got up and walked downstairs.

He pushed open the door to the electronic reading room and walked down the corridor to the front desk. What catches your eye is the library area on this floor. The environment here is very elegant, and in order to let the sunlight shine in better, the designers deliberately placed huge white-edged floor-to-ceiling windows on the walls, and when the sun shines best during the day, the entire floor seems to be gilded. The seniors wearing headphones sat opposite each other with hot coffee in their hands, and the books spread out on the table recorded the passage of time.

It was already dusk, and everything here seemed to be shrouded in a faint layer of amber, and the silhouette of a girl reading quietly on a bench by the window was bright and picturesque.

The marbled tiles were spread all the way to the end of the corridor, and when he was about to walk out, Gu Fangyan greeted the caretaker on this floor. The caretaker on the third floor of the library was an old gentleman in his sixties, with neatly combed white hair on his temples, always wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and smiling kindly.

Gu Fangyan already knew this old-timer when he first came here, he has always been good at chatting with old people of this age, and when he saw the old-timer put a young chrysanthemum at the front desk, he felt a sense of intimacy, so he took the initiative to sit down and chat with him.

In the process of chatting, he learned that this old man's name was Qiu Tong, who had served as an associate professor in the history department of the Daomeng branch. After that, he regarded Mr. Qiu as the first friend he met in the branch school, and confided in Mr. Qiu when he had nothing to do, saying that he was unfamiliar with the place when he first came and hoped that Mr. Qiu would give him some guidance.

In the eyes of the old man, Gu Fangyan is always alone, so he is also happy to chat with this child a few more words and recommend some necessary information for new students.

At this moment, Qiu Lao nodded with a smile at Gu Fangyan, took out a reading card from the drawer and handed it to him.

Gu Fangyan slowly paced downstairs with the handrail of the stairs, and he suddenly felt a little hungry.

…………

Dominion Campus, Central Plaza.

Whenever you are here, you can feel the grandeur of the oncoming atmosphere, and the towering statue of the exorcist is located in the middle of the square, and its figure is heroic and erect, wearing a trench coat and carrying a scabbard. Apparently a group of hunters lurking in the darkness and killing coldly, the sculptors are trying their best to show that kind of heroic spirit.

At this moment, the statue is bathed in the red sunset, but it also looks dazzling, really like a hero who is willing to die generously.

The whole square is in the shape of a huge circle, surrounded by eight coiled dragon pillars, carefully carved from white stone, intended to express its eight trigrams. The square is home to a musical fountain, a neatly arranged marble staircase, and everything revolves around the statue of the exorcist, giving the square an absolute central symmetry.

To some extent, everything in front of him is not a kind of art, but Gu Fangyan has no intention of appreciating the art in front of him now, he is now sitting alone on a bench near the square and munching on a finger cake.

It is indeed a bit unpleasant to eat finger cakes in such a solemn place, but this is a habit that Gu Fangyan has developed for many days, and he was so hungry that he blackened his eyes on the night he first came to Daomeng, until Cheng Xinuo bought him a finger cake filled with ham and bacon. It was the best finger cake he had ever eaten in his life, so whenever he felt hungry, he would go to the restaurant to buy a finger cake to satisfy his cravings.

Now the square is quiet, and few people walk in it. But on Saturday night, it will be very lively, when all the fountains in the square will be activated, and the water column tens of meters high will rise to the sky to the accompaniment of music, and the sky will be full of mist and neon. The men and women in the square dance to the music or whisper to the music.

When night gradually fell, and the street lamps lit up the square by the side of the road in turn, Gu Fangyan stood up and threw the plastic bag into the trash can next to him, wiped his mouth with his hand, and then turned around and walked towards the apartment building.

…………

At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, the 307 dormitory sounded the sound of rapid keyboard tapping, and Gu Fangyan dragged the mouse and kept clicking - as the only source of income recently, he was doing a daily part-time job.

The so-called daily part-time job, when newcomers first come to the school to report that they have no ability, often face the embarrassing situation of having nothing to do, in order to prevent these new students from falling into a negative state of self-denial at the beginning, the branch has arranged some undifficult part-time tasks. For example, helping to buy low-cost or explosive weapons and equipment in the trading center, and using other people's money to do things for others, to put it bluntly, is engaged in purchasing on behalf of others.

Gu Fangyan will help people brush equipment in the trading area of the Daomeng Forum every night, and most of the equipment will be sold at a reduced price during a specific period of time, this time is also the peak period of the day in the forum, everyone is desperately doing part-time jobs, and a piece of equipment that is not careful will be cleared.

"Xiao Yan Xiao Yan, the seven-fold promotion of the spirit rune in the special price area is handed over to you. Cheng Xinuo chatted directly with his friend.

"Grab it!" Gu Fangyan clicked the mouse like chicken blood. The income from doing this kind of part-time job is pitiful, and there will be an indefinite price difference for low-cost equipment, and this is the difference they earn.

A high-level spirit rune is nearly 50 execution points, and even after the price is reduced, it is as high as 35 points, which is a huge amount of money for the current Gu Fangyan, but those seniors will not care about this little money, so the freshmen can also take advantage of it to get over it.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of execution points had been spent, which made him feel a sense of guilt inexplicably.

"Classmate, the equipment in the trading area is sold at a reduced price, help me grab a wind attribute spirit control knife of the highest quality, remember that it is a wind attribute!" Another senior sent him a private message.

"Grab it!" Gu Fangyan once again beat the chicken blood.

However, the equipment area page can't be refreshed, it is estimated that there are too many people rushing to buy during this time period, and the server can't support such a high number of visits, forcing some users to limit the speed.

Gu Fangyan has been working diligently for several years on the elderly machine he brought from home, and at this moment, the host of the notebook made a fierce humming sound, like an electric fan that started at high power.

"Damn! isn't it?" Gu Fangyan was dumbfounded, with his current computer configuration, he couldn't refresh the page anyway.

"I don't believe it, I'm going to grab you tonight no matter what!" Gu Fangyan clicked the mouse like crazy - he had been working part-time for half a month in a row, and every night seemed like a war.

At half past twelve in the morning, the peak period of the trading center is finally over, and tonight's part-time tasks are nearing the end. Gu Fangyan calculated tonight's gains, and only earned a total of 6 execution points.

…… I really don't know whether to be happy or sad, the lowest-level D-level task can earn up to 10 execution points by doing it casually, and he only earned 6 points by working hard at the risk of computer scrapping overnight.

If you calculate carefully, you can earn nearly 80 execution points after half a month of part-time work, and if you go to the trading center to buy it, you can probably buy two high-level spirit runes, and it will be gone after a few clicks.

Because he was fortunate enough to participate in the ghost slaying mission between exorcists, and he also saw Ling Chenxuan in a violent state. Surrounded by several burning spirit runes, Ling Chenxuan was completely a humanoid arsenal of killing gods with full firepower, and the consumption of his spirit runes was self-evident.

If you think about it this way, your own execution point is not enough to see!

Gu Fangyan couldn't help but fall into deep thought, if the return on part-time work was too low, then there was only one way to go.
