A heavy snowfall turned Yongle Fairy City into a world covered in silver.
This is the first snow since the beginning of winter.
Although this city of monks has a large protective circle that can completely isolate wind, frost, rain and snow, it is warm as spring all year round, and there is no distinction between day and night.
However, the leaders of Fairy City believe in the way of nature and will not adjust the changes in solar terms unless there are special circumstances.
In the small hall on the third floor of the library, Wang Chen, who was sitting at the bottom, held a steaming tea cup and took a sip of the hot spiritual tea.
I just feel comfortable all over.
Unfortunately, there was some noise in my ears.
"You need to sort out the dossier information requested above as soon as possible. It will only take three days at most..."
Sitting on the main seat at this time was Cao Ke, the head of the library.
The work in the library is very leisurely, but sometimes I will receive tasks from above.
Then you have to work overtime.
Several stewards looked at each other, and one of them said with a grimace: "Three days is too short."
The data files in the library are basically sealed and engraved with jade slips, similar to the digital storage of Wang Chen's previous life.
In fact, it is very fast and convenient to search and organize.
But if the information involved is too much, then the manpower in the cabinet will not be enough.
After all, looking at the jade slips for a long time will be nerve-wracking.
In addition, organizing and copying is also a hard job.
There is one manager and five managers in the library. Most of the ordinary staff below are just lying around. Suddenly they are given temporary urgent tasks, so naturally they have to complain a few times.
"This matter is beyond discussion."
Cao Ke said with a straight face: "If you don't want to do it, just go home and you won't have to come back again!"
He knew the nature of his subordinates well, so he directly said harsh words.
Sure enough, several stewards shrank their heads and no longer had any objections.
After all, the manager of the Library can be regarded as a "civil servant" in the fairy city system. Although the salary and benefits are very low, the job is easy and it is decent to speak out.
Who is willing to give up this job unless they have to?
Even if they, like Wang Chen, were put on idle by other departments and sent here to live their lives.
As for the commandment, it cannot be violated.
The Cangshuge is affiliated to the General Affairs Department of the Thirty-sixth Division. The latter's rank is very low. The Cangshuge is naturally not much better. How can they, a few minor stewards, have the qualifications and confidence to disobey orders!
"Go ahead."
Cao Ke waved his hand and said: "Manager Wang, please stay here first."
After the other stewards left, the director of the Library asked warmly: "Steward Wang, you have been here for a while. Are you still used to the work here?"
Wang Chen replied: "Thank you for your concern, sir. I have adapted to it."
"That's good."
Cao Ke nodded: "You are in a different situation from others. They have no future and hope. They just hang out here for a day. If you have a chance, leave early!"
It’s actually pretty good here…
Wang Chen looked grateful: "I understand."
"Yeah."
Cao Ke was satisfied: "You can go too. If you encounter any difficulties, come to me. I will help you if I can."
Wang Chen didn't know whether the boss looked at him differently or looked at others the same way, so he thanked him profusely and left the small hall.
He didn't take Cao Ke's words to heart and continued to do whatever he had to do.
After three busy days, Wang Chen returned to his "normal" life.
But his focus on reading changed.
In the past two or three months, Wang Chen relied on his position to borrow a large number of books from the library.
These books cover a wide range of topics, including notes from predecessors, customs, local legends, experiences, etc. He obtained a lot of useful information from them.
Wang Chen, who has the Cultivation Panel cheat, can cultivate far faster than ordinary monks, and his realm has improved very quickly.
But if you rise too quickly, your foundation will inevitably be insufficient, and your experience and knowledge will also be inferior.
By reading these books and notes, Wang Chen was able to make up for some lack of experience to some extent.
But it’s not very helpful to practice.
Wang Chen didn't want to live in the library for the rest of his life. He planned to spend three years cultivating to the peak of Zifu, collect the treasure of condensing pills, and finally hit the golden realm.
Wang Chen’s goal is to reach the third-grade golden elixir!
But having gone the wrong way, Wang Chen not only didn't tell anyone about his goals, he even worked harder to hide himself, not wanting to fall into the eyes of some people again.
Some time ago, Wang Chen first redeemed the Zidian Flying Boat from a pawn shop, and then sold the flying magic weapon.
Together with a few other things and the saved spirit stones, he finally got the reserved pill treasure from Wanbao Pavilion in exchange for it as agreed.
As a result, Wang Chen's pockets are now empty, and the number of spiritual stones has shrunk to four digits.
It's barely enough to live on.
You have to plan carefully to eat something good!
The problem is that Wanbao Pavilion not only has no supply of the Millennium Spirit Pearl, Seven-leaf Scrophulariaceae and Ten Thousand Years Star Sand among the Eight Treasures of Condensing Pills, but even if they do, the price is not something Wang Chen can bear.
These three treasures of heaven, materials and earth are the rarest and most expensive, and the price is also the highest.
Wang Chen had inquired in Wanbao Pavilion before, and the answer he got was quite shocking.
Of course, he can also lower the standard, for example, replace the thousand-year spirit beads with century-old ones, replace the seven-leaf scrophulariae with four-leaf ones, reduce the quantity of ten thousand-year star sand by one-third, and the purchase cost will naturally be greatly reduced.
But in this way, the probability of condensing a third-grade golden elixir will also decrease!
How could Wang Chen endure it?
He has a panel plug-in in hand, and he is not afraid of the breakthrough that others regard as a natural chasm. If he can only survive this way, it is better to just buy a piece of tofu and get killed.
So embarrassing!
Three rare pill-condensing treasures were unavailable and unavailable, so Wang Chen wanted to collect them himself.
In fact, after many Zifu monks reached the peak level, they traveled far and wide in search of the treasure of condensed pills, which not only sharpened their Dao foundation and will, but also saved costs.
Wang Chen also wanted to try it.
Therefore, he specifically searched for information in this area.
For example, where do you need to get the Thousand-Year Spirit Pearl, and what are the specialties and taboos when collecting them? These are all knowledge that need to be understood and mastered.
Otherwise, if you are lucky enough to find something, but the treasure is damaged because you don’t know how to collect it, you will really vomit blood!
Facts have proven that reading more books is very useful.
In an ancient notebook, Wang Chen actually found detailed records about spirit beads and scrophulariaceae.
Including place of origin!
This is very rare. You must know that most people will hide the information about heaven, materials and earthly treasures and will never disclose it to the public.
And the writer of this note obviously has no idea of self-preservation!
