Chapter 337: Finding a Book
Fairwin's library occupies the first floor of the central building area in the building block to the right behind the main entrance. Of course, this building block cannot be said to be small in area, but only that the floors are shorter than the main building, and the total number of floors is only half of the main building, five stories high.
As soon as you enter the room, you can see that it is divided into two parts. One is a straight open space in front of you, with some introductions or pamphlets about Fairwin on the right wall. On the left side is a transparent glass wall that falls from the head to the bottom, separating the two sides.
From the outside, you can see that the interior area is very spacious, and the bookshelves are made of dark black-brown materials, with peculiar carving techniques, inlaid gold thin edges on each side, and regular grain fragments are used as decorations.
Each area is neatly labeled with classified labels and categories, and a stepping stool is placed on the side to help people who are not tall to find the books they want to find.
Not only books, but also the number of bookshelves is quite staggering. There are hundreds of bookshelves erected inside, which is very spectacular. Among them, the shelves were full of books, and the rich smell of ink wafted from behind the glass partition on the left side, and the cord wrapped around the nose.
Through the glass partition, you can see that the right side of the head is once again divided into an open space for tables and chairs to be used for reading. There are dozens of tables, each seat is a high-end chair that Leah has only seen in the venue, and because it is close to winter, they have all been transformed into chairs with soft and warm cushions and cushions. Of course, if the customer greets the waiter, he will continue to serve tea, even refreshing drinks and pastries as requested.
As for the number of people in the library, the calculation is quite simple. There are dozens of tables, each of which can seat about six to one person, and the current appearance of roughly one-sixth of the seats, that is, more than 20 people, is quite spacious.
Although Fairwin only had such a library, he did not distinguish between staff and guests. It is an area that is accessible to all. However, it is not so easy to talk about the rules. An ordinary employee like Leah needs to pay a 'meal ticket' once he enters, and if there is something urgent, no matter how much time, he will pay another one if he goes out and enters again.
Aside from the versatility of the 'ticket', Leah felt that the price of the admission was really expensive. Even if you can get a free snack to eat, if this is placed in a buffet, it will be a casual eat! Besides, Leah only knows that she only distributes 100 tickets a month! Excluding the minimum of three meals a day, there are only 10 tickets left in a month. And Leah is sure that this kind of ticket will be used elsewhere!
In addition, if you borrow a book from the library, you also need to pay a 'meal ticket' to take it. Of course, as long as you can find the books you need the most, then it is still worth it.
Isn't it just a few meal tickets, they are all given anyway, and I don't feel distressed if I spend them. Leah comforted herself as she stuffed the meal ticket into the stomach of the big-stomached monster.
Enter the interior of the library behind the glass partition wall. To Leah's surprise, instead of having more customers, there were more Fairwin employees.
But after thinking about it a little, I still understand that many of Fairwin's guests, they only stay for a few days, and they will not have such a high level of leisure and elegance to wander around in such a boring place. Instead of coming here to soak up ink and drink, it is more interesting to visit other entertainment areas in Fairwin.
And the employees, because they have lived here for a long time, naturally have enough time to come here to rummage through what they need. In addition, if you take books home and borrow them from your dorm room or among friends, you can borrow several books for a meal, which is not a very expensive rental fee.
Lea was still thinking about whether to do it just now, showing that she had a very cultivated good temperament, handsome and chic, and walked into the library gracefully, so as not to be out of place among a large number of guests. Now, this idea is not necessary.
After a blind search, Leah went to the side hustle area.
When I arrived at the area I wanted to reach, what I thought was simple things suddenly became clear. When Leah came over, she still thought that the side hustle area should not be so complicated, even if she didn't know which side hustle category Mr. Warlock belonged to, she could just flip through the introduction, see the general content, and find the same book and take it back.
But when it came to the front, Leah found that there was a lot more to this side hustle!
There are nearly 100 bookcases, all of which are filled with books about side jobs! And that's not all, among them, the four categories of side jobs, such as formations, building tools, gathering, and potions, each occupy more than a dozen bookshelves, and the others are all other side jobs......
Addition and subtraction are calculated like this, and the remaining dozens of bookcases are scattered with other various side jobs. Some side hustle books occupy a row when there are many books, and there are only two or three books for the few...... The number of side hustles here is probably several times more than the bookshelves here......
Well, this is not a needle in a haystack, it is also a gold dig in the river. Leah thought that she could only compress the amount of meal tickets she could use, so she saved a dozen more to find them here.
While Leah was thinking about whether she would save a meal in the morning, or save a meal at noon, or squeeze the hardy and hungry Barna, a beautiful voice rang in her ears: "Hello, are you looking for books on the side hustle? I'm one of the librarians here, can I help you?"
Leah was startled, took two steps back, and saw a girl who was four or five years older than her. In a daze, Leah looked at the girl in front of her, and decided with her face whether she should run away or stay and accept her help.
She wears a black hairpin shaped like a square on her head. Her smooth blue hair was tied into a ponytail with a simple leather band, exuding youthful vitality. Her outfit is not a general mass-produced clothing, from the buttons, corners, and the fit of the clothing can be seen, her clothing is of high quality, the materials are high, and it is a hand-customized private clothing.
Even though the overall outfit of the clothes tends to be dark, and it tends to be more minimalist and dull, it is because of the soft large wavy corners and white silk lining embellishments, but it does not lose the feminine femininity. At the same time, because of this low tone, her quiet elegance and literature are further enhanced. Make her look like the kind of person who will not get tired and tired after spending a day in the library and reading a book for a day.
With such a temperament, he must have read a lot of books, and this is also a person who can help Leah.
Leah looked at the bookshelf, looked at the girl with some trepidation, and after grinding for a while, she finally mustered up the courage to accept the help of others. She replied with some trepidation, "...... You, hello. I'm looking for a book...... But don't know how to find it......"
The literary girl nodded, and did not walk into Leah, still keeping her distance. However, the head walked towards the bookshelf in front of them, and Lang Lang said: "I think what you are looking for should be a book related to a side hustle, right? Do you not know which book is better, or do you want to find an interesting side hustle to try first?"
However, neither of these are the direction Leah wants, and she can only re-propose it herself: "No, I know what side hustle I want to study, but I don't know the ...... books"
Halfway through that, Leah gets stuck again, and it's really a very troublesome thing to tell others about things she doesn't understand!
She didn't even know what the warlock was, she didn't know the name of the warlock. How can I tell the other party accurately that I want to find that goal? Even if Leah can express it vaguely, there must be duplications or some similar content in such a huge amount of books, so I can only count them one by one...... When the time comes, it's a waste of someone else's day's work!
Seeing that the girl did not answer immediately, the girl showed an indescribable look of distress, and asked again, "Hmm...... Sorry, I probably didn't ask why. ”
After a pause, she asked again: "Are you seeing other people's side hustles very interesting, and you want to learn, but you don't know the name of the side hustle?"
Leah was stunned and nodded.
The girl smiled slightly and said kindly, "It's okay, please tell me something related to it." And this side hustle is so interesting, naturally it will not hide in the corner, so that the cute and anxious girl in front of me can't find it. When she hears that someone is looking for her, she will definitely run out. She didn't say anything, but the girl caught the other party's concern.
"Well, it's a piece of wood, made into a craft with all kinds of pipes, and these pipes are connected to each other, and they are very thin! And one thing! You can see from the outside, there is a bead of light running inside......" Leah couldn't explain what she meant too clearly. But all the characteristics she saw last time were probably finished.
The girl listened for a while, then was silent for a while, and suddenly asked: "Are you asking about the wooden box that was wrapped outside the gold medal in the last tasting?"
Leah was taken aback again, she had never mentioned the concept of wood becoming a wooden box! Not to mention that it had already been used concretely, that is, the gold medal at the tasting! Could it be that this girl had already known that she was the fourth-order cultivator who appeared at the tasting, and had prepared in the library in advance, waiting for her arrival?
It's terrible! The skill of this set of words is not ordinary! Leah looked at the other party with a frightened face, just waiting for the other party to expose her. However, the other party didn't seem to think about this, she just walked up with her hands and feet, and soon stood in front of a bookshelf.
Then, she lifted her fingers to a column, then slowly stroked over the spine, paused, pulled out, and handed over a book.
"Look, is this the side hustle you're looking for?" said the girl with a smile.
Leah saw that the other party's face was not abnormal, not like a demon who was always planning to eat her, but looked very gentle, like a senior sister who was patient and careful in her studies. As a result, the frightened Leah still shook her hands and took the book that was handed over.
She looked at it, and the girl slowly explained beside her.
"I'm giving you an 'injection molding side hustle'. Compared with the side business of building utensils, it has more plasticity and flexibility, and the utensils produced are also more beautiful, because its starting point is to have a beautiful appearance that is decorative and ornamental. ”
"Of course, it's not that it only has an ornamental effect, if this side warlock learns the formation pattern at the same time, as well as other practical side jobs, it can also be equipped with powerful functions to provide more powerful, restrained, and beautiful crystals and arrays. Of course, because of the flexibility of the material and the more gorgeous appearance of the process, it requires its makers to have a certain degree of maturity and patience. ”
Hearing this, while looking at the contents of the book, Leah felt that it really looked like the book she was looking for. However, she didn't just borrow it, she finally spent a meal ticket that was enough to eat for three days before she entered the venue, and she had to stay here to get some money back.
And if you can read it and write down some of the content you want, then even the borrowed ticket money is free: "Okay, it seems to be this book, thank you, young lady, I, I'll go over there to read it first!"
The girl smiled slightly, watched her leave, and returned her gaze to the bookshelf.
