Link came to Thrift Alley, just to find out if there were any old notebooks from the academy students or something.

In this world, books are very expensive, and many people who are not so wealthy will collect second-hand books as much as possible, which has also given birth to a boom in the second-hand market.

Link's target wasn't the well-preserved second-hand books, but the ones that had been scribbled around by the academy's cadets.

Because there's a good chance that there's some information that's hidden in it.

Of course, this seems to be looking for a needle in a haystack, but Link himself is fine, mainly to come shopping, it is naturally good to be able to find something, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't find it.

Alice has already contacted an underground organization that specializes in intelligence spying, and a lot of information has begun to gather, and Kara and Lucy are sorting through them to get useful information from them.

That's where the main battlefield is.

Nick's thrift store is full of people, and the room of about 1,000 square meters is full of all kinds of miscellaneous dilapidated waste.

Next to each pile of waste goods, there are crowds of Taobao people.

They hope that with a small amount of money, they can make a staggering profit.

When Link walked in, he realized that the goods were stacked in a fairly orderly manner.

There's a pile of 5 silver coins to pick up one piece, and there's a pile of 10 silver coins to pick up one.

There are people watching over each pile, and the speed of paying and taking goods is extremely fast.

Link glanced at it a few times, and found that there were more than a dozen transactions in an instant.

He passed by a stall with a pile of discarded swords, and by a stall with a pile of rusty armor. Straight to the innermost, here are the stalls of worn-out books.

Over here. The number of people is much less, after all, even second-hand books. The price is not very low, and the price of a copy of 60 silver coins is prohibitive for many people.

Link walked over to the pile of books and opened a random book, which was well protected and not stained.

But it wasn't the book he needed, so he casually put it aside and picked up another one to read.

This is a travelogue book that chronicles some of the most scenic places in the Glorious Empire. Hurriedly glanced at it, this book was meaningless, he could go buy a new book.

Looking through another one, it is the textbook of the Warlord Academy, which is very rich in content, but Link can buy new textbooks by himself, so this is meaningless.

Open another book, this book is still a textbook for the Warlord Academy, but it is full of various notes from the original owner. It could be his own opinion of the textbook, or it could be the opinion of the teachers in the academy, Link thought it was interesting and decided to buy it.

Thereupon. He tossed the book to Dream and asked her to help him hold it first.

A clerk next to him saw this and was a little anxious. He hasn't paid yet.

But just as he was about to come over to stop Link, the boss, Bombardier, grabbed the clerk's clothes. He whispered a few words of reprimand and threw him aside. I came over with a smile and a hunched body.

The clerks were uninformed, but as the owner of the thrift store, Bombardier had always been very envious of the people in the business district and the inner city, paying special attention to what they wore and ate.

As soon as Link entered, he saw a very familiar mark on his sleeve.

It was a special mark made by Madame Lisa's private workshop, and it was the best batch of clothes in it.

It is said that each piece costs a price of dozens of gold coins, and it is difficult for ordinary people to even look at it.

Bombardier thought that if he had such a dress, he would have to protect it as a treasure, and he would definitely not swagger through the crowd like the young man in front of him, rubbing against others, and he didn't care at all.

Either the other party was lucky enough to pick up this dress and didn't know the value of this dress, or the other party's worth made him not care about it at all.

But how could such a rich man come to a small shop like his own?

Those mud-legged people don't know what they are doing in this shop, and those big guys don't know yet?

But in any case, Bombardier can only deal with it in the safest way - as if the other party is a big person, this is the wisdom of the small person, and he will not offend anyone because of his will.

Link glanced at the boss who came over, didn't care, and continued to rummage through the books.

Then, he pulled out a notebook from underneath.

The notebook was very worn, and the cover had been worn away, leaving only the mutilated parts.

Link casually flipped to the next few pages and read it straight to himself.

[When the core of life is formed, the professional is the stage of entering the high-level professional. 】

Link snorted, is this an introduction to high-level professionals?

He flipped to the front and followed the content again, until he got to where he wanted to see.

[The relationship between the transcendent and the formal professional is like this, the formal professional is the transcendent, but the transcendent is not the formal professional! 】

Link was a little angry in his heart, this was the beginning, the things in front of him were no longer in line with here, and it was obvious that a part of the middle was missing.

"Someone's research notes are this?" Link frowned and looked at it carefully every day, this should be very important to him, and many things he didn't understand might be able to get the answer from here.

He flipped through it further and finally found a new piece of information.

[Transcendent, itself has a special transcendent aura, after research, because its own life essence has been improved, so that it can be different from ordinary creatures. 】

[The ancestors of mankind, after studying the transcendent aura, gathered the wisdom of tens of millions of people, and through various means, let themselves who have undergone arduous training have a breakthrough in the essence of life and obtain extraordinary aura, so that the originally weak human beings have entered the ranks of the transcendental. 】

According to ancient legends, when a new profession is born, the world rewards and makes it extraordinary, and people study this process and fix it, thus forming a collective of formal professionals. 】

[But why there is a reward, it is unknown, there are no results in research for several years!] 】

The information that follows is incomplete, but it has already given Link an astonishing message.

[After years of research, the ancestors of the human race began to enter the transcendent in a systematic way, and before entering the transcendent, there were two new stages! 】

[Apprentices, and high-level apprentices!] 】

[The apprentice is to obtain a trace of power seed under the condition of knowledge and training, so as to have the possibility of infinite breakthroughs. 】

[And the high-level apprentice, that is, after being able to break through when he reaches his own limit, his strength begins to grow. 】

[But there is a question here, why can the seeds of strength be obtained by training and knowledge alone?] 】

At the end, a question seems to leave the questioner feeling infinitely confused, and the final question mark is written in three parts, as if it is about to penetrate the paper.

Link continued to flip to the back, and he also wondered why.

This seems to be the essence of power, and if he can know this, he may reap unimaginable benefits! (To be continued.) )
