"Everyone knows that yesterday, a tiger demon had infiltrated Jianghai city's prison and released a large number of star beasts, causing quite a bit of chaos. It also resulted in a lot of casualties and property losses to the citizens of Jianghai city.
"Due to the lack of staff for certain positions, the library has to transfer a few employees. The list is on the big screen.
"But don't worry, the positions I've chosen are all suitable for each individual. It will only help the library instead of worsening it.
"As for the management area of the missing staff, someone else will be appointed.
"In addition, surveillance cameras will be installed outside our library. I will transfer a portion of the administrators to take charge of them."
Ye Xiao glanced at the name list on the big screen. It mainly involved staff on the second and third floors. Perhaps it was because the second and third floors were relatively unlively so the staff had plenty of free time for extra tasks.
However, he was rather lucky that his name was not written.
Although he could still visit the library to borrow books in other posts, it was still not as convenient as being a librarian. He could read as many books as he wanted and he could also read them during office hours.
After the morning meeting, Manager Yang Zhengyi began to arrange for the transfer of personnel.
The administrators on the second and third floors who were still here would temporarily manage more areas of the colleagues who had been transferred. They had to wait until there were new people to fill in later.
Ye Xiao had also been allocated an additional area.
That was also a good thing for Ye Xiao because he could stay in areas to read during working hours.
Just as he was about to go back, Manager Yang called out to him.
"Ye Xiao, wait a moment."
Ye Xiao stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Manager Yang.
"What's the matter?"
"Before you start work. Gu Hai didn't come over this morning, and his phone is switched off. I can't get in touch with him. I'm worried that something bad might have happened to him yesterday. You are the closest to him so go look for him."
Ye Xiao's eyebrows rose.
"I got it."
He walked out of the library. The damaged facilities and buildings had almost been repaired, and the city looked brand new.
It was probably because martial artists and star beasts frequently destroy the city, that the technology of building materials in that world was quite advanced. All kinds of quick-drying materials were easy to use and sold cheap.
A few colleagues had already started to install the surveillance cameras. They did not know that the curator wanted to investigate the new mysterious martial artist.
Unfortunately, when a grandmaster used their power, they would disturb the surrounding magnetic fields. Any electronic equipment would be affected. No matter how good the surveillance cameras were, what use would they be?
"Yesterday, Gu Hai went to get his student ID card. In the end, he could not make it. Most likely, he went to find a woman.
"Even if this fellow does not die under the claws of the star beast, sooner or later, he will die because of a woman."
Just as he walked out of the library's door, Ye Xiao's phone rang.
Seeing that familiar number, his face could not help but darken.
"Hello, Mr. Lu."
"Ye Xiao, your son was arrested again. This time, it's even worse. You better hurry and come over."
"Got it."
Ye Xiao sighed slightly and once again went to the Jianghai city garrison.
...
"Sir, I'm almost 66 years old, and he still took advantage of me. How am I supposed to live?"
...
The garrison hall was as noisy as usual. All kinds of strange things were common.
Ye Xiao found Gu Hai in front of Mr. Lu's post. That time, he looked rather decent. He only had a lipstick mark on his collar and a handprint on his face. His clothes were relatively fine.
Ye Xiao glared at him in annoyance. Gu Hai lowered his head and smiled embarrassedly.
As usual, Ye Xiao stuffed a stack of red paper into Mr. Lu's hands.
"Mr. Lu, thank you for your trouble."
Lu frowned.
"Ye Xiao, you can't be doing this again and again. Once or twice, I can still do you a favor. It's not easy for me to let these things slide too many times."
Ye Xiao nodded.
"Alright, bring him away. Don't do it again next time."
The two thanked him and left the garrison, heading toward the library.
Gu Hai hurriedly apologized.
"Old Ye, I though the garrison would be preoccupied by the star beast riot yesterday. Who knew there were still those who were on patrol."
Ye Xiao said unhappily,
"I don't see you going less even when you're caught on a daily basis. It's fine if you go, but you get caught every time! Let me tell you, this needs to be the last time. If you get caught again, don't come running to me. I can't afford to lose face."
"Hehehe, don't worry. I'm experienced now. I definitely won't get caught next time.
"However, it really wasn't my fault yesterday. I was originally waiting for someone near the academy. I got tired from standing too long, so I wanted to lean on a Volkswagen beside me for a while and conveniently put a bottle of green tea I just bought on the hood. Who knew that a pretty girl would come over and ask me if I wanted to play.
"Don't you agree that I couldn't let such a good opportunity go?"
Ye Xiao could not be bothered with him. After returning to the library, he cleared up his mind and immediately headed to Area B on the third floor to start reading.
After the star beast riot, he had gained an additional understanding of the dangers of that world. He could not be too laid-back, so he had to become as strong as possible.
He immediately began to study mental cultivation techniques.
Both heart cultivation techniques and mental cultivation techniques were the same. By using both cultivation methods, they would circulate within the body to form a path through the meridians. Then, they would attract spiritual energy and continuously temper the body and soul, in order to achieve the goal of strengthening one's cultivation.
However, the heart cultivation techniques mainly focused on the amplification of attack release, while the mental cultivation techniques were used to quickly replenish the spiritual energy that was consumed in the body during battle.
Choosing the right mental cultivation techniques allowed him to quickly replenish the spiritual energy consumed from his ultimate moves.
After becoming a grandmaster, his reading speed also became much faster.
Originally, he could only read 10 to 20 cultivation techniques in two hours, but now, he could read close to 200 cultivation techniques.
Out of the 200 mental cultivation techniques he read, Ye Xiao chose two. Adding to the previous three, he already had five basic mental cultivation techniques.
However, the Golden Book did not light up, which meant there was still not enough to synthesize them.
However, Ye Xiao was not in a hurry. With the addition of three basic mental cultivation techniques, the speed at which he absorbed and replenished spiritual energy was already increasing.
Moreover, he had only read less than 200 books that morning, yet he had already found three basic mental cultivation methods. According to that, he estimated that he would be able to gather all the basic mental cultivation methods that needed to be synthesized in less than two days.
Wonderful.
Ding!
It was time for lunch.
Ye Xiao had just closed his book when he raised his head and saw Gu Hai staring at him from afar.
Seeing that he was noticed, Gu Hai walked over and said,
"Old Ye, I really can't tell. You're hiding it too well!"
That made Ye Xiao's heart stop. 'Don't tell me I read the book too fast and exposed myself?
'Act! Just play dumb!'
"What do you mean by that?"
Gu Hai had a look of disdain.
"I was wondering why you never go to Red Romance. So you've found a fair-skinned, beautiful, and long-legged girlfriend!"
"..."
His brows knitted deeply.
"Are you out of your mind? I don't have a girlfriend."
"Oh! And you still insist you don't have one. I wonder who that girl who has been sitting in your area is."
Gu Hai pointed indignantly at Qin Yuyan who was in the distance.
When Ye Xiao saw her, he could not help but feel a little surprised.
So it was her.
Yesterday, she had dropped her student ID card here. However, saying that he knew her now would inevitably cause Gu Hai to misunderstand.
Therefore, he shook his head slightly.
"I don't know her."
In fact, he really did not know Qin Yuyan. He had only spoken to her three or four times.
"You really don't know her?"
"Yes."
"Alright, I'll go get her number."
Gu Hai quickly trotted over and asked with a cheeky look, "Hello, I..."
"Scram!"
Without waiting for Gu Hai to finish speaking, she had already spat out the word, instantly causing the smile on Gu Hai's face to stop abruptly.
He rubbed his nose and immediately left in embarrassment. Ye Xiao walked over to him.
"I'll escort you out. Let's go and eat quickly."
Gu Hai glanced at him with a rather resentful look.
"Eat, eat, eat. You only know how to eat. I really don't understand why God granted you such a good-looking face. It's not that I want to say this, Old Ye, but you're wasting precious time. It'll come back to bite you sooner or later."
Ye Xiao just smiled and did not argue.
Gu Hai was right. Regarding looks, he had always been very lucky.
It seemed that as his strength gradually increased, his invisible temperament also continued to grow.
Unfortunately... He did not like the feeling of being tied down. Right now, he wanted to savor the freedom of being single.
Of course, from another perspective, it could be said that he was just confident enough about his appearance. If he wanted to find a girlfriend, he could do so at any time, so he was not in a hurry to do so.
After the two of them had lunch, Gu Hai returned to the dormitory. As usual, Ye Xiao came up to read.
Not long after, Qin Yuyan walked over. With a hint of uncertainty, she carefully asked,
"Um... I want to ask, have you see my student ID around here?"
Ye Xiao did not lift his head from the book as he replied,
"Top right corner of the first row of bookshelves on the left."
Qin Yuyan was stunned. She walked over and reached out to check. As expected, she found her student ID.
She walked over quickly.
"Thank you. I thought I left it on the road."
"Alright."
Ye Xiao responded indifferently. His cold attitude made Qin Yuyan feel a little awkward.
She had never experienced such cold treatment before.
However, upon closer inspection, the administrator was really good-looking. There should be no shortage of girls around him, so it was normal for him not to care about her.
"Um... Can I ask another question?"
Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly and put down the book in his hand.
"Go ahead."
"I want to learn about saber techniques, but there are too many here. I thought that since you are the administrator, you should know most of these books. Can you recommend to me which books about saber techniques are better, or which are more popular?"
Ye Xiao's eyes inadvertently swept across her right hand. The base of her thumb, the center of her index finger, and the lower-left corner of her palm. Although it was still considered soft, compared to the other parts, it was clearly a little calloused, and she did not know any saber techniques which means she was most likely a sword practitioner.
Naturally, she could not hide her cultivation from Ye Xiao's knowing eyes. She was already in Houtian fifth grade.
At that age, to cultivate to the Houtian fifth grade一her talent was not bad.
If she were to switch to cultivating saber techniques, it would probably waste a lot of time. It would also waste her many years of accumulation and attainments in sword techniques.
However... What did that have to do with him?
What the other wanted to learn was her choice. He only needed to do his job as an administrator.
After two seconds of silence, he continued,
"People may choose to cultivate different types of techniques, but that may not be suitable for them. After all, the majority of people who practice saber techniques are men.
"Moreover, most of the saber techniques that men practice are wide range moves.
"The seventh book on the third row at the fifth level is about the Falling Snow Saber, which is gentle and graceful saber technique. It consumes less spiritual energy and is suitable for girls.
"The fourth row, second level, and eleventh book, Luo Family's Saber, has a solid foundation and is suitable for beginners of saber techniques.
"On the first level's first row, the sixth book is about the Fox Hunting Saber. It is a strange saber technique with various changing movements. It had a miraculous effect on the enemy.
"For beginners, read those three saber techniques."
Qin Yuyan could not help but be surprised.
"Amazing. It seems that your research on saber techniques is quite profound. Your strength must be extraordinary, right?"
After all, she had only asked Ye Xiao to recommend a saber technique to her, but he had chosen three saber techniques that were very suitable for her, and he had even told her the advantages of each one.
"You're overthinking it. If my strength is extraordinary, I wouldn't have become an administrator. Moreover, I only know the cultivation techniques of my own area. As for those in the other areas, I wouldn't know much at all."
Qin Yuyan nodded. What Ye Xiao said was also true. What kind of person with a profound cultivation would not be snatched by the army or various large companies? Why would they be a small administrator here?
Moreover, as an administrator, he would definitely know the types and characteristics of the cultivation techniques in his area, so it was understandable.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
After he replied curtly, he continued to lower his head to read. Qin Yuyan knew that he did not want to talk to her anymore, so she turned around to find the three books and then went to the hall on the first floor to borrow them.
There were two ways to borrow books in the library. One could borrow them in the area they were taken from through the administrator, and the other would be to go to the hall on the first floor.
Qin Yuyan knew that Ye Xiao probably did not like to be disturbed, so she did not let him go through the procedures for her.
As for Ye Xiao, he overestimated himself and underestimated the strength of plagiarists.
In the morning, he read nearly 200 cultivation techniques and selected three basic mental cultivation techniques from them. From noon to night, he read nearly a thousand books, but he only obtained one independent basic mental cultivation technique. The rest were all plagiarized.
However, it was not entirely considered bad luck because, during the selection process, Ye Xiao had also found a basic sword technique.
Therefore, his basic sword techniques have reached eight in total. Within the Golden Book, the eight pages that recorded the basic sword techniques had already begun to emit a faint layer of golden light.
That meant that he was about to synthesize a sword technique of an extremely high level.
He was only missing one or two more basic sword techniques.
