Chapter 49: The Library
June 16, 2005 A.D. calendar, Shui Yao Day.
Rowan traveled through the ninth day, and there were four days left before the audit exam.
When he returned last night, he left everything behind and slept until noon today.
When the curtains were opened, the golden sunlight shone in, which made my eyes a little sore.
He turned over the few remaining ingredients in the house and made a big meal, barely treating himself.
It wasn't until he had eaten and drunk enough that he walked out of the house and towards the Hunters' Guild.
In real terms, this is the third time that Rowan has entered the Hunters' Guild, the first time is to accept the task of [driving away the beaver beast], and the second time is the pre-submission mission.
And this third time, naturally, I came to receive the task reward.
Unlike the previous two times, his state of mind at the moment has changed a lot.
Born from the heart, the environment changes with the heart.
His steps are no longer urgent, his posture is natural and upright, and his eyes are even more confident.
After stepping into the Hunters' Guild, Rowan went straight to the counter where the task was handed over.
Standing behind the counter was still the eldest sister with particularly strong eyeshadow, and Rowan noticed that the word [Xu Lu] was written on the nameplate on her chest, and only then did he learn her name.
"Got the task?" Xu Lu glanced at Luo Wen's face and asked.
"No, it's for the reward." Rowan smiled and took off the hunter badge and placed it on the information reader.
Xu Lu was slightly stunned, she thought she had a unique set of people's skills, but anyone who had seen it would not easily forget it, this boy should be the first time......
Then, she saw Rowan's mission information on the screen, and immediately recalled the incident three days ago.
"It turned out to be him, and the king steward also resigned because of him." Xu Lu couldn't help but shake her head slightly, "I haven't seen you for a few days, it's like a different person." ”
The task reward is divided into task points and task bonuses, and after Xu Lu completed the point certification, he took out a stack of cash and handed it to Luo Wen.
After Rowan settled the task bonus, he couldn't help frowning.
"Why are there so many?"
He roughly counted the five hundred-dollar bills, totaling 500 yuan.
"If I'm not mistaken, the reward for the quest to drive the beaver beast should be 10 mission points and 50 yuan, right?"
Xu Lu smiled reluctantly and replied, "Here you go, you can take it." This is the total reward for your mission, which should have been divided into ten people, but you are the only one who came to pre-hand in the mission. That's right. Another newcomer named Ye Long also came, but his mission was determined to be a failure. ”
"So, I'm the only one to complete the task?" Luo Wen frowned fiercely and asked, "Didn't Uncle Hong and them come back?" ”
"The search team has been out for two days and has not found any traces, so it should not be able to come back." Xu Lu couldn't help but sigh, "This is the hunter, no one knows if they can see the next day's sunshine." ”
Rowan lowered his head and fell into thought.
The town is protected by the goddess and is therefore a safe area.
However, monsters are rampant outside the town, and although the closer you are to the town, the weaker the monsters are, but monsters are not stakes, they also move and forage.
Therefore, there is no guarantee that you will not encounter monsters that are far more powerful than you during the hunt.
Therefore, the first lesson of the beginner mission is to teach the newcomers how to work together and how to deal with monsters that are more powerful than themselves.
But there are also monsters that cannot be dealt with by working together.
"Could it be that Uncle Hong, they really encountered a powerful monster that was not capable of being opposed?"
The familiar and unfamiliar faces flashed in Luo Wen's mind, but he always felt a little strange.
At this time, a scumbag hunter holding a wine bottle, staggered over and patted Rowan on the shoulder, and laughed: "So there is wine today and drunk today, and tomorrow is sad, tomorrow is sad." Would you like a drink, lad? ”
"Nope." Rowan smiled politely, "I don't drink." ”
……
When he walked out of the Hunters' Guild, Rowan had already regained his composure, and he returned the excess bonus to Xu Lu, leaving only 50 yuan for himself.
Ill-gotten gains are not to be taken, and this is the prize he deserves.
Before leaving, he said to Xu Lu: "I believe they will come to collect it, don't forget to send it when the time comes." ”
Xu Lu was stunned for a long time before whispering a few words to Luo Wen's back.
Rowan heard it clearly, she was saying that the time limit for the mission had expired and it was impossible to hand it over.
But what does it matter?
Whether it's possible or not, it's always good to leave a memory.
After leaving the Hunters' Guild, he found his way to the only library in town.
Speaking of which, in his previous and present lives, it was the first time he had entered this library.
After fumbling for a library card, he took out a copy of the "Hunting Encyclopedia" from the shelf, found a nearby spot and began to flip through it.
He turned it very quickly, because he was not here to read, but to "accumulate" knowledge!
What he can see with his eyes and hear with both ears, as long as he has seen and seen, will be turned into a part of his knowledge reserve, so that it can be used by [Deep Discernment].
From beginning to end of each page, he made sure he read every word clearly, even if he couldn't understand it, as long as he read it clearly!
This reading mode is undoubtedly very boring, but Rowan does not find it difficult, because every word and sentence he has read will be truly turned into his knowledge reserve.
This feeling is unusually good.
So good that he couldn't help but smile, as if he was enjoying it.
At the adjacent table, a girl with a ponytail stared at Rowan's hand in a daze, she was first attracted by Rowan's crazy flipping book, but after that, her attention was all focused on the crystal cube in Rowan's left hand!
While flipping through the book with his right hand, Rowan is still playing with the Rubik's Cube with his left hand!
The purpose of playing the Rubik's Cube is to exercise crystal control.
The Rubik's Cube in the left hand and the book in the right hand are to exercise the ability to use two minds.
Luo Wen came to the library to read books, on the one hand, to replenish his knowledge reserves, and on the other hand, to relax his tense spirit, he needed time to relax.
However, unconsciously, he still integrated his cultivation into relaxation.
The girl watched it for a long time, and also followed Rowan's example and used crystal power to condense a crude Rubik's cube.
She first condensed with one hand, and then with both hands after failure, although the speed was very slow and the Rubik's Cube was not large, but it was still decent and could be turned.
"Is it fun?" Rowan asked suddenly.
The girl shrunk like a cat, then looked around suspiciously.
Rowan didn't look up the whole time, and the girl didn't even notice that it was him talking.
"Fun is fun!"
Another voice sounded, and the girl "rubbed" backwards, and then looked at Rowan with a wary face, and she finally noticed that it was Rowan who was talking.
Luo Wen stood with the book closed, but only smiled and glanced at her, then put the "Hunting Encyclopedia" back on the shelf, and took out a rather obscure book from the corner and flipped through it.
It's just a way to exercise crystal control, even if it's learned?
After a long time, the girl sat back in her seat and struggled to control the Rubik's Cube.
In the process of playing, she looked up at Rowan's face more than once, and saw that he had not reacted, so she gradually relaxed.
At four or five o'clock in the afternoon, the girl suddenly stood up and said, "Thank you!" ”
Then he flicked his tail and ran.
Rowan didn't care, and continued to read another book.
At this glance, he saw the closing time of the library, and he stood up unsatisfied.
Before leaving, he used fifty yuan as a deposit and borrowed a few of the thickest tomes.
[Ps: Transition chapters are not easy to write. It was supposed to be nine o'clock. I didn't feel like it was written, so I deleted it and rewrote a chapter. The new chapter was written before twelve o'clock, and then the eyes narrowed......]
