Chapter Thirty-Eight: Chris's Spring
Chris, who was dragged inside by the guards, was taken to a huge bookshelf, only to see the guard shouting at it, "Curator!" Curator!! I've found someone who can read the book. β
At this time, a thick book flew down from above, with the words "General History of the Mainland" written on it, and the huge book was fattened on the guard's head, and he was dizzy, and it took several circles to wake up.
"How many times have I sued you? In the library, keep quiet, you're hungry and affect others. An old man with gray hair and a somewhat messy beard descended the ladder from the other side of the huge bookshelf, looking at the guards with murderous eyes.
But apparently this was not the first time this guard had done this, and he said with a nonchalant face: "Cut! Look at yourself, full of rancid smell, be careful when you go back, your aunt won't let you in, don't come to my house to beg me to take you in, I'm talking about where there is someone in the library! That! Here's the guy you found to read that book! I'm done with my work and can I go? I've had enough of the profession of guard, I'm going to take an adventure, goodbye. β
After saying that, they left directly, it turned out that they were relatives! Chris seems to have realized that the world of games is the same as the real world, and needs relationships as a bond.
The old man grabbed his hair and looked at the departing guards, as if he wanted to shout but hesitated, and then sighed heavily, and left by the man.
Thinking about returning to the bookshelf, when he left, he saw Chris, seemed to think of something, and said with a light in his eyes: "That kid said you can understand that book?" Is it true? β
"If you need to verify, of course. It can be verified at any time. Chris said confidently.
"Hmmm! Then sue sΓΉ me. What is the book about? Just get a rough idea. The old man took the book that the guard had dropped. Picked it up and handed it to Chris.
"Shall I take a look first? This is the first time I've read this book, and I just know the words in it. Chris explained to the old man.
"No problem, let's watch it now! If your answer satisfies me, you'll get an unexpected benefit. "The old man who originally had some artistic temperament, now looks at the raunchy appearance, with that sentence, it looks particularly obscene.
"Yes, yes! I know! I'll watch it now. Chris took two steps back in fear, then nodded. I sat on the chair to the side and looked up.
Half an hour passed, and the old man had already slept on the table, and Chris had just finished reading, he went over and patted the old man on the shoulder, and the old man woke up with a spirit, and then wiped his mouth and said, "What's wrong!" Well! Yes! It's you! Have you finished reading it? β
After finishing speaking, he smashed his mouth, and it seemed that he had thought of something delicious in his dream.
"I've finished reading it, and I've pretty much learned about the book." Chris said politely to the old man.
"Tell me what this book is about." The old man sat as if he had some solemn ceremony.
"Actually, this is a book about ancient humans. It is said that the current human race and other species were created by this ancient race. They're Atlantis, well! They came here from another world, were saved by the gods of this world, and then took root here, because they were alone and created many races, but due to the creation of zΓ o, the people of Atlantis ran out of energy and had to go back to the deep sea to find energy, well! This is the second half of the book, and the first half is relatively simple. β
"What's the easy way? Let's talk about it. β
"Huh! It is the things of Atlantis in the previous world, which was created and then developed brilliantly, then struck, and finally self-sank and redeemed, and then encountered the gods of this world. In fact, Chris hid a lot, and Marx, the center of Atlantis, put a lot of Atlantis' technology in this book, and named it "Atlantis Engineering".
Chris didn't want to let the curator know his business, because the system had just prompted him to read that he had mastered the engineering of the apprenticeship, which was a big deal, considering that no one in the second world had acquired a skill or a career.
"Oh! It turns out that this is the case, no wonder in the mythology of all races, there is the same race, and they are all collectively referred to as ancestral spirits, it seems to be true, it turns out that the hundred races on the mainland are really the same ancestor, the difference is that everyone is created, not naturally produced. Laitou nodded, excitedly took the small notebook that he didn't know he took out, and wrote and drew on it.
"That! Curator, since I've said that, I'll go. "Now Chris just wants to leave the ancestral spirit as much as possible, and go outside to see what this apprentice engineering is and what it does.
"Wait." The old man spoke suddenly.
"Yes! Can I help you? Chris turned around a little nervously.
"I haven't given you a reward yet, huh! I see that you are also an intellectual, and you can read and write, so you can help me manage the library! The treatment is good! A silver coin a day, including three meals and lodging, and have the right to read books, this is rare, you must know that in the village, even the village chief is not just able to read a book, a gold coin to read for an hour. β
That lewd look reappeared, and Chris felt that feeling again.
"How much is a gold coin?" Chris thinks it's better to ask, knowing that if he agrees to the job, he will also get a silver coin a day.
"You don't even know that? Yes! Yes, you are a person from another world who has just appeared, I sue you! A copper plate can buy a loaf of bread, black bread, absolutely satisfying hunger, one can last a day, and after overnight, it can be used to make weapons, definitely no worse than a wooden stick, a gold coin can be counted as a thousand copper plates, that is to say, enough for you to eat a thousand black bread. β
"So expensive? This book is made of gold. Chris couldn't help but complain, this feeling is a gold coin for three years! Even if it's a good meal, it looks like a year, it's all right.
"Children, knowledge is power, knowledge is wealth, only by getting the inheritance of knowledge can people become strong and rich, you say, don't do a word." The old man whispered something in Chris's ear with some impatience, patted her on the shoulder, and gave her an ultimatum.
At this time, Chris's mind was thinking of the apprenticeship engineering he had just learned, maybe what the old man said was right, after thinking about it, Chris agreed to the old man's request and became the administrator of this library, of course, he also worked as a guard, and a cleaning staff, anyway, he had to do everything! Sure enough, a silver coin is not so easy to earn.
In this way, Chris Chen is the administrator of the library, and he is the only employee, according to the director, he needs to go out for a while, and the return date is uncertain, and the library will be handed over to Chris during his absence, so that he can rest assured that someone will come to deliver food every day, and he will not have to give money, and it has been settled, and it will be deducted from his salary for a whole year.
Hearing this, Chris couldn't help but feel sad, and he wanted to say, "Give me your salary!" I'll buy it myself. The curator didn't bother him, but left in a hurry.
Chris looked at the back of the director for a long time, how sad! Is this the rhythm of working for free for a year? Just as he was about to leave, he received a special reminder: "The player and the librarian profession, please do your job, otherwise the player's resident opinion will be directly negative, and all the professions and skills learned in the town will be lost, please be cautious." β
A hint that made Chris completely stunned, did he enter a black store? If you don't have a salary, don't talk about it, and even delete what you have already learned?
There was no choice but to do this job honestly, Chris had to sit in the position of administrator, and bored, he went up a book from the bookshelf and began to read.
The library is so idle, Chris has been reading and seeing that he is asleep, at this time, a girl with a basket came to the door, the moment he saw this girl, Chris's heart seemed to be shot with an arrow, black hair, slightly wavy curls at the ends, bent eyebrows just right, long eyelashes, and those big eyes, all made Chris intoxicated.
"Are you the Awakened Administrator?" The girl walked in and asked Chris.
It's a pity that Chris, who was already stupid, didn't hear it at all, and still looked at the girl with a slightly exaggerated stupidity, the girl obviously noticed that he was looking at herself, and a touch of crimson rose on her cheeks, but she still smiled and said, "Hey! Wake up, are you an administrator? With that, he waved his hand in front of Chris.
Chris, who was flashed into his eyes, finally came to his senses and immediately said in a panic: "That! Yes! I'm an administrator, hello can I ask for any help? β
"Hehe, you're so interesting, I'm here to bring you food, this is the old dean's explanation, saying that he will send you a year's food, thank you for taking care of my family's business, you are really a good person." The girl's beautiful voice made Chris a little intoxicated, but fortunately he didn't completely lose his mind.
"Ahh Oh, yes! No thanks! Hahaha! I also want to thank the curator for that! β
The girl looked at Chris strangely, not understanding what he meant. Well, forgive this otaku, he didn't really get along with girls at all.
"That! I mean, thank you for finding your home so that I can have such a good meal. "Idiot, you still eat every time.
"Hmmm! Anyway, thank you, if it weren't for your order, I'm afraid my restaurant would be closed down this year, but because there is no meat, I can only cook vegetarian dishes for you, please don't dislike it. β
"It's okay, it's okay! I just like vegetarian dishes, and I don't like eating meat because I'm too tired of it. Quickly said he didn't mind, Chris felt his spring was coming.
I'm afraid that at this time, he won't mind even giving him rat poison. (To be continued......)
