Chapter 4 Libraries
In the Star City, there are many ancient houses, most of them are the residences of those sects, and the Star City around the Sword City accommodates the most is also the Sword Cultivation Sect, if you want to enter these sects, except for those with outstanding talents, you can only pay money, and although Ye Chen's talent is good, but it is not so outstanding, he went to test it at the age of thirteen, if he is outstanding, his life will definitely be much better than now.
After all, it is not the time of the great catastrophe now, at that time all the people are soldiers, as long as they want to enter, they can basically enter, and a little more strength will give them more self-preservation. But now that there is no threat of destroying the world like demon beasts, it is conceivable that the threshold of the sect will be raised.
Ye Chen didn't have any money, so he could only look at those guys who could enter the sect with envy outside, but after a few years of training, Ye Chen didn't want to enter the sect as much as he did at the beginning, walking on the road, looking at these lively sects, Ye Chen came to a library in the center of the city.
This is when Ye Chen was gone, the only library that took him in, gave him a job that he could barely live, Ye Chen was full of gratitude to the director of the library, although now Ye Chen has resigned from the position of administrator, but always take some time every month to help take care of it.
This is a somewhat dilapidated library, the two-story wooden building is also quite ancient, rows of bookshelves can be seen outside the door, an old man sitting at the counter inside the door, lazy listless, eyelids even fall from time to time, looking like a bad sleep.
Ye Chen smiled slightly, and walked towards the library, because there is a computer, few people come to this kind of quaint library now, holding a book and reading it slowly, although people now are not as impetuous as before the catastrophe, but the cherishing of time is more than before, seize the time to improve yourself, either practice or use science and technology to improve your body.
"Old Hu!" Ye Chen stood on the edge of the counter and whispered to the old man who was dozing.
"Eh, what's the matter? Ha, it's you kid, why is it so early this month?Did you hunt a demon beast?" The old man named Hu Lao nodded a little, opened his eyes, and asked instinctively, and when he saw Ye Chen, he laughed and said.
"Haha, Hu Lao is really like a god, he was lucky to hunt a bobcat and sold some credits, which is basically enough for next month's life. Ye Chen said with a smile.
"Well, yes, you can easily hunt bobcats, it seems that you have made a lot of progress in the last month, or it will not be long before you can go out twice a month. Hu Lao nodded and said.
"Maybe. Ye Chen nodded, he also thought about being able to go to the suburbs twice a month, but the suburbs are both opportunities and dangers, the more times he goes, the more dangers he will encounter, although Ye Chen has made great progress now, he can only hunt those low-level demon beasts, or beasts, and when he encounters high-level demon beasts, he can only flee for his life, and when he meets those high-level hunters, he can only be robbed, so as a last resort, Ye Chen will basically only go out once a month, after all, Ye Chen is not alone, and there is a sister to take care of, and his sister will be helpless when he dies, which is something Ye Chen can't imagine。
"Haha, you're here, I'm a bad old man and I can have a good rest, I'll take care of it here, there's credit on the computer, you can take it yourself according to your monthly salary." Saying that, Hu Lao stood up and stretched, and walked out of the library, I don't know where to go, his slender body doesn't look like a bad old man, Ye Chen can imagine that Hu Lao when he was young must be a very majestic person, I don't know how he can be the director of a used library when he is old.
Ye Chen thought about it, then shook his head again, put some messy thoughts behind him, sat in the seat that Hu Lao had originally made, and waited for the borrower or book returner in the library to come and brush the credit.
The librarian's job is simple, basically there are not many things, and he can see many ancient books, and even a little bit of cultivation, Ye Chen's internal strength heart method is learned from here, although it is not a high-level heart method, but there is, it is better than nothing.
As for the credit, Ye Chen didn't move, he hadn't taken it since he was fifteen years old, and now what Ye Chen had to do was to wait for the people in the library to leave clean, and it was time for him to read and cultivate.
The books in the library are all old books, and almost all the people in the library are old people, and the old people look at the pictures of the young memories, and the loneliness of leisure time, and there are very few real young people who come here to seek knowledge.
The martial arts that can be useful have long been looted by the high-level people, and those books are all kept in the library of the zài sect or some other hidden place, and even there are this kind of cheats on the Internet, but if you want these cheats on the Internet, it will cost a huge price, or you will have a certain authority, and these are what Ye Chen can't afford now.
This somewhat old library gave Ye Chen a convenient place, and it is no wonder that Ye Chen often comes over, although Ye Chen's heart is full of gratitude to the curator and he really wants to help, but he still wants to find something useful for his own improvement in this library.
Ye Chen sat on the chair and waited for the library to close, and then cleaned up the messed up books, followed by his own free time, usually this free time is also Ye Chen's favorite time, but today it seems that God and Ye Chen played a joke.
It's not that people come and go, but there are one or two people looking for things in this library, just like a thief, thieves are a troublesome thing for the administrator, before you don't steal something, you are not sure if the other party is a thief, it's okay to see it when the other party does it, you can only think that you are unlucky, you have experienced these things before, fortunately, Hu Lao doesn't care much about those lost books, but that also makes Ye Chen depressed for a long time, and feels that he has failed Hu Lao's treatment.
For these two sneaky guys, Ye Chen had to stop his cultivation state, and instead stared at the computer in front of him, which showed a man and a woman flipping through books randomly, and even some of the books were no longer in place.
What surprised Ye Chen a little was that this man and woman didn't look like those previous thieves, the man was handsome, the woman was beautiful, and the clothes were even more fashionable, no matter how you looked at it, she didn't look like a person who lacked diamonds and little gold, such a person would come to steal books?
Ye Chen was a little unsure, but he was still staring at the computer screen, to be precise, Ye Chen's eyes stayed on the beauty for a longer time, the beauty was beautiful and cute, wearing a white long dress, and a long black flowing hair draped over her shoulders, which set off the woman's dust, the woman was very messy when she flipped through the book, as if she was looking for something, and the man was also looking for something, but the two did not intersect.
After a while, the woman seemed to have found what she wanted, a smile appeared on her beautiful face, and she pulled out a book from the shelf, it was a black book, even if Ye Chen had not seen it in this library for so many years, it stands to reason that basically Ye Chen knew the books here and had sorted them out, but now this beautiful woman has this book that Ye Hao has never seen.
