After an nonstop three day baking binge, Benedictus Agnes, finds himself transported to another world. Unlike other heroes, he is suddenly sent to the Backend, a small town overlooking the sea. 
Dropped in the middle of nowhere, our hero only has one plan: get cooking!

Lu Mingshu pondered for a long time before deciding on trading the various components of the wolf she had procured earlier.
Such a demonic beast's hide could be used to make leather, while its teeth and sharp claws could be used to make weapons. But since she did not have the means to make them now, she decided to trade them for something useful.
Therefore, she put up a request for trade of items on the Heavenly Wheel.
After a day's wait, someone contacted her.
[ I have a book on Basic Alchemy here, do you want it? ]
Lu Mingshu's eyes lit up, as alchemy was from the world of Xianxia*. Brother Six once told her that each world had their own system of cultivation and practice at which they excelled. For example, the world she was in walked the path of practicing Martial Arts and was the most valiant in strength. For a magic world that uses a magic precision system, their devil talismans that depicted demonic patterns were the most useful. For the world of Xianxia, alchemy definitely occupied an important position.
The most fundamental pursuit of cultivators was not power but longevity; they would always place more importance on a rebirth rather than the acquisition of strength by cultivating steadily. Practitioners pursuing strength alone, on the other hand, had no regard for their longevity. Mages needed to go through all sorts of rituals to increase their lifespans, whereas cultivators were always tempering their body through their cultivation. Therefore, their lifespan increased hand-in-hand with every milestone in their cultivation.
One of the skills they depended on the most was alchemy. When they drank one of their elixirs, it would immediately apply the effect on their body. Therefore, the art of alchemy tolerated no oversights whatsoever.
Lu Mingshu immediately initiated a private chat with the other party.
A voice traveled out as the circle of airflow blew out of the leaf, "Fellow Daoist, are you willing to trade?"
The voice was quite light, indicating that it belonged to someone quite young.
Lu Mingshu answered, "Can you give me a rough description of the content?"
"Eh," the other party was startled for a moment. "So it's a little sister. Of course."
The focus of the book on Basic Alchemy was in the word 'basic'. Starting from the herbs, it detailedly introduced the reader to the basics of the alchemical world.
"Which is to say, there isn't a pill recipe?" The recipes were undoubtedly the most precious part of alchemy.
The other party paused for a moment before replying, "There is only one pill recipe, which is the Congeal Constituent Pill …"
Lu Mingshu hesitated once she heard that. With two different worlds came two different types of Spirit Medicine. Would it not be a waste if that one Pill Recipe required an ingredient that was unavailable in my current world? Entering and leaving the Heavenly Wheel involved the consumption of a large portion of the item's mystic force, which didn't make for a worthwhile exchange for either party.
"Fellow Daoist," The youth continued, "I needn't speak anymore of how useful alchemy is, but it is also not easy to find such a detailed book on the introduction of alchemy."
Lu Mingshu was aware of this, but something still bothered her …
When she spoke of her concerns, the youth immediately replied cheerfully, "There's no need to be worried about this, as the Congeal Constitution Pill is the most basic pill over here. Anyone with a bit of skill in pill refining will be able to refine this pill. This same recipe has myriad variations. Not only does each sect have its own unique recipe, but every alchemist would also have their own secret recipe too. Basically, you could refine this pill by throwing any kind of substitute in. Although my Congeal Constituent Pill only consists of a single pill recipe, it contains more than ten kinds of combinations to mix and match the components. There should definitely be a version you can refine – otherwise, you can just refine based on its principle."
This is okay too?
Lu Mingshu was a little dumbfounded.
"Rest assured, you would not be at a loss if you trade!" the youth said. "I am anxious too. I have to go on a training expedition in ten days and need to make a whole body of protective leather. Were that not the case, I could have exchanged for a finished product right away if I were to take my time and bargain for a better price."
Lu Mingshu believed this point. A book on alchemy was a scarce resource, whereas the hide and claws of a demonic beast were not. The two had similar worth, but the book on alchemy still sold better.
"Well, okay." Lu Mingshu paused for a moment of thought. "Right, can I ask how the mystic ores in your world are generally used?"
"Mystic ore?" The youth quickly understood, "Oh. My world should call it spirit ore? It depends on what kind of ore it is. It is generally used to refine a Device Array, as the simplest use for it is to extract spiritual energy for cultivation …"
Lu Mingshu noted it down seriously. The two then opened a special channel to carry out the trade.
After the trade, Lu Mingshu left the Heavenly Wheel.
She carefully opened the semi-old book adorned with lines.
This one look and she was unable to stop.
After Lu Mingshu read the whole book on Basic Alchemy in one go, she let out a long breath and rubbed her dizzy head.
No wonder Brother Six had told her that the alchemy of the world of Xianxia was the most miraculous, given their excellent medical knowledge, unlike the magic world where people were restricted by rules and regulations.
That youth had not lied to her. The Congeal Constituent Pill recorded in the book could be said to have no known limit in derivatives for the ingredients. As long as she grasped the key, the pill recipe was irrelevant. It would at most result in her refining a pill of lower efficacy.
She put away the book and confidently began practising her sword technique.
After the fight with the demonic wolf, her internal mystic force had increased and her strength had improved vastly.
When dinner was over, Liu Jizhen suddenly said, "Go and play at Willow Woods tomorrow."
Lu Mingshu was stunned for a moment, nodding, "Mhmm …"
On the second day after breakfast, Lu Mingshu left for Willow Woods.
Willow Woods was a little distance away from Green Jade Valley. Without any means of transportation, she had reached Willow Woods by foot when the sun already stood at its zenith and glared down at her.
Willow Woods did not inhabit a single willow tree despite the name, and the topography in the area consisted of one large, gentle slope. The Willow Woods residence itself was built on a gigantic rock on the other side of the said gentle slope.
At this moment, the Willow Woods residence was very quiet with no signs of life insight. Lu Mingshu felt a little helpless as she stood underneath the gigantic rock.
How am I to climb up such a high rock without anything in my surroundings that could assist me in climbing up?
Without a choice, she could only call out, "Gao Xiang! Gao Xiang, are you around?"
After she had called out three times, someone ran out from Willow Woods.
Gao Xiang waved excitedly towards her when he spotted her below, "Lu Mingshu, it's you! I am around!"
With that, he jumped down from a – not sure where he got it – rattan rope and dropped down in front of her. "You finally came, I thought you had forgotten!"
If not for her Master's reminder, Lu Mingshu would have truly forgotten. She was a busy girl, spending a majority of her time reading books in order to understand the various worlds described in the Heavenly Wheel. That included books from Heavenly Ascension Pavilion as well as the books from the other worlds that she had acquired through various exchanges. She still had to practice her techniques and even do chores – she couldn't always let Master cook his meals, right?
"Come, let us go up!"
Gao Xiang grabbed the rattan rope, climbing up with a whoosh! like a monkey.
Lu Mingshu pulled on the rope, and after finding it solid, she followed behind him with a pattern.
"Walk this way." Once she entered the Willow Woods residence, Lu Mingshu discovered a different view in the back. Past the residence itself, the sight of a large flat grassland, a small meandering stream, and the shade under the leafy canopy of a green willow tree entered one's vision.
Tables and chairs were arranged under the willow tree with someone seated on the chair.
With hair as white as snow and the appearance of a young man, this someone was Zhuo Jiangui.
Lu Mingshu went over to bow, "Martial Granduncle Zhuo."
Zhuo Jiangui, who had his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes when he heard the sound. He looked towards her and nodded once.
The sensations of a cold intent enshrouding her in mist struck her again. This greatly alarmed her. What kind of art does this Martial Granduncle Zhuo actually train in?


Lu Mingshu had never believed in fate.
She hadn’t believed in it when her father had remarried and caused her family to break into pieces, nor had she believed in it when she’d been thrown into a valley to perish.
She hadn’t believed in it when she didn’t have any resources to cultivate with, nor had she believed in it when she’d been condemned by everyone.
She climbed up little by little from dust, while her reign soared into the sky, which caused the world to look on in fear!
If justice doesn’t come, I’ll personally obtain it.
If fate disregards me, I‘ll open up a way to survive.
No matter what fate throws at me, I will surely become a phoenix!
“What a ruthless woman. I’m willing to risk my life and limbs for you, willing to be calculative for you – I’m even willing to be an enemy of the entire world for you. Aren’t you moved even a little?”
“That’s right, since I‘m such a ruthless woman, what exactly is it that you like about me?"

As time passed Fraser didn't care about the aura anymore. Instead, he spent his days focusing on his improvement. 

A sleep time of only a couple of hours allowed Fraser to maximize his time. The increase in his spirit allowed him to sleep less while recovering more as the spirit increased the processing speed of the brain and his increased vitality allowed his body to recover completely of the fatigue caused by the mental work. 

Fraser only once left his private chambers for a longer time period than ten minutes. It was when Fraser stored every single book of the outpost library in the AI database. 

After storing the entire library in the AI database Fraser quickly deduced that the library mostly was there in order to inform the students about the various dangerous animals one could encounter at the Howling Abyss. Also, there was a lot of book simply for materials, how to extract them, how to store them in order to not lose the vital parts, how to hunt animals for their materials, how to harvest plants while not hurting yourself and how to survive while getting hunted by the material you wanted to harvest. 

Yes, the Howling Abyss seemed like a place where everything was dangerous and wants to kill you. 

But there was nothing dangerous for Fraser, he simply stayed in his private chamber and researched his materials which he had brought from the Academy.

'I need to start learning on how to create the basic wound mending potion and the basic strengthening potion, also it would be better if I learn the four spirit technique before walking out of this private chamber in order to explore the howling abyss. The Knight technique also needs to be trained until satisfactory in order to increase my strength.' 

Just as Fraser took out the recipe for the basic wound mending potion a notice of the AI sounded through his head. 

[Modified spell model of dark rope successfully created, the linking pattern combusted into nothing and the runes didn't collapse] 

As soon as the notice of the AI disrupted Fraser from his studying of the basic wound mending potion he frowned. 

However, hearing the success of a modified spell model Fraser delightfully commanded the AI to show the modified spell mode. 

'AI, simulate the modified spell model of dark rope. What attribute changed? Is it an overall increase or is it an overall decrease?' 

[Not enough data to be able to simulate the modified spell mode of dark rope, more date needed to calculate a possibility] 

'Then why are you able to simulate the modified linking patterns and different rune sizes for a spell model? Shouldn't you have enough data? AI explain how the simulating process for modifying the spell model work.' 

[The AI creates a simulation of a spirit room and this simulated spirit room allows the modifications of the spell model in random patterns. It creates runes of random size and then links them with other runes of random size. Then every rune combination that collapsed as well as every rune combination that didn't collapse will be saved in the database. After that, each successfully linked runes pair will be linked with another random rune and it continues until every rune of the spell model is used up and the simulation either collapses or is successful] 

'So what is the true reason why the AI is not able to simulate the modified spell mode? AI if I have enough spirit in order to simulate the world, would I be able to simulate the modified spell model?' 

[Negative, there is not enough data for the AI to simulate the world. More data is needed to calculate the result of the modified spell model] 

'So right now I have a modified spell model, yet I am not able to use it as I don't even know the result of the AI simulation. Besides I don't even know if the dark rope spell model of the AI works as the modified spell model is only a simulation made by the AI. Great, I wasted so much spirit in order to power the simulation and right now I am back to zero.' 

With clearly visible disappointment on his face, Fraser grabbed the recipe of the basic wound mending potion and researched the necessary steps in order to create a basic wound mending potion. 

Fraser had a choice between learning the basic wound mending potion or the basic strengthening potion. Naturally, it wouldn't have mattered to Fraser if he still was in the Howling Abyss Academy where he had sold every potion for magic crystals in order to buy the stuff he wanted. 

But now the location is the outpost at the howling abyss. Fraser could have infinite magic crystals yet there was nothing he could have exchanged the magic crystal with. 

'As the magic crystal is rather useless or I don't know the usefulness of the magic crystal I will have to trade my potions for stuff I want. I don't know how the market at the outpost works but I believe that a healing potion sounds more appealing to somebody who is risking their lives than a potion which will strengthen them for a period of time.' 

Fraser pondered for a while but in the end, decided to focus on the basic wound mending potion even if the strengthening potion also sounded reasonable. 

After all, as the basic explosion potion could be used as the trump card, that was the information from the fatty, then a basic strengthening potion could also be a trump card, a trump card with a longer lasting effect. 

However, Fraser guessed that every single student of Magus Sept chose one of the three lessons he provided, animal taming, botany and alchemy. 

As Magus Sept probably warned every batch of student that Alchemy was a hard subject to learn, most probably either had botany and animal taming. 

As the description of the basic wound mending potion on its recipe said: "a potion that gives the wound or the living creature an external source of vitality, allowing it to close wounds without any loss of vitality or enhances the vitality of the creature…." 

Thus Fraser chose the basic wound mending potion as probably every student would need it for their animals, plants or even their own body. For example, the muscular woman or her equally muscular little brother could drink one in order to fix their wounds as they obviously seem to be melee fighters. 

Thus Fraser started to study the potion recipe of the basic wound mending potion which seemed similar to the basic explosion potion recipe. 

Each step described the extraction of the essence of the materials, fusing it once in a weird ration or twice or thrice and then fusing everything into the potion. 

Naturally, the time and the number of essences, as well as the components itself varied but the rest seemed to be identical. 

'So alchemy is only extracting stuff and then fusing it in a weird manner? That is rather easy once you know how to do it.' 

After reading the recipe of the basic wound mending potion Fraser started to follow the instructions.

Someone transmigrated into the body of a noble that was on his way to become a Magi. His only keepsake, an AI-Chip that had the ability to calculate and store information. Thus, follow the journey of Fraser Rosethorn.

"I am a somebody with a name that shall be part of your world and with my written words I will feed your imagination and thus enrichen your life" ~ Quote by UniqueBooks

Rowan was soon stalking mice again with his trusty basic hammer. After 10 normal mice, a special one would come. 

After the fifth special one, he no longer felt like puking when he cut open its stomach.

His loot so far was a copper ring, lesser ruby, lesser emerald, silver ring, and a lesser onyx. 

He didn't have any space in the inventory or he would have continued. 

Rowan started walking towards the stairs when he looked at his basic fletching knife and exchanged it with the cooking pot. He figured the little goodwill old Jonas had toward him now would go down the drain if he showed up with a weapon in front of him. A lousy weapon but still a weapon. He didn't want to take any unnecessary risks so he took his basic pot from the inventory and put the knife inside. 

As he came upstairs old Jonas was at the counter mumbling something to himself as he was reading a ledger. When he saw Rowan he noticed the pot in his hands and he immediately asked him.

"Are you a cook?"

Rowan looked at him and nodded. 

"That's great. I have some recipes here somewhere. Could you cook us something?"

Rowan looked scared as he replied. 

"I guess but I don't have any ingredients or cookware."

"No problem. My wife was a cook, a chef actually, and after she died she left me her recipes and her tools of the trade. I doubt you cook as good as she did but if you are willing to I will even supply the ingredients.", by the end of this outburst old Jonas went from enthusiasm to almost crying. 

Rowan could tell how much Jonas missed his wife and could only agree. 

"Here are the mice.", Rowan said as he pulled the dead critters from his inventory space. 

Jonas counted them and then counted the money. 

"I didn't realize I had so many of them. 1 silver and 50 copper. , Jonas said with a surprised face. 

"Ever since my wife and my apprentice got ambushed by those damn bandits I had no time to clean downstairs.", now it became visibly angry. 

 "It used to be my apprentice's job, may God watch over their souls.", Jonas went from being surprised, to angry and back to misty-eyed. 

He quickly came back to himself and went into a back room and brought back a book. 

"Look what you can do with this and return it when you are done.", Jonas said.

Rowan took the book and inspected it.

[Chef Lora Walsh's beginner cookbook]
[Read][Copy]

He clicked copy first since it was an interesting option on a book.
[No suitable material detected]
 
Rowan had no other choice but to click read next. The book opened up in his hands.

There was no introduction in the book just a list of recipes. A lot of those recipes were greyed out but he found some that had black names.

[Oatmeal with raisins] [Porridge] [Chicken soup]

He selected [Oatmeal with raisins] in his mind and the corresponding page with instructions opened.

2 cups of water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 cup raisins
1 cup of oatmeal

Bring the water, salt, and spices to a boil in a saucepan. Stir oatmeal and raisins into briskly boiling water. Cook for 5 minutes. Stir occasionally. Cover the pan, remove from heat and let stand for a few minutes. Serve with brown sugar and milk if desired. 
  
Temporarily learned [Oatmeal with raisins] 

A new hologram appeared with [Oatmeal with raisins] and a timer beside it [23:59:49] which ticked down. 

He clicked the other two and it was the same. 

He gave the book back to Jonas and told him what he could make. 

Jonas frowned a bit but then said with a proud smile: "My Lora was a great chef you know. It's no wonder most of her recipes are above your head and even if you managed to understand them we would still need the ingredients. I can only supply you with the oatmeal and porridge since I don't have any chickens here now. Chose what will it be."

Rowan thought about it and replied: "Oatmeal with raisins."

They were both basically the same oatmeal dishes just he figured the raisins would make it taste sweet instead of eating plain porridge he would much prefer that. 

Jonas led him in the back into a kitchen and gave him the ingredients. 

"Get cooking then," he smiled as he turned around and walked back into his shop.

Rowan found oatmeal and raisins in his inventory but there were no spices mentioned in the recipe there. There was also no water. 

There was an old fashioned kitchen stove and cupboards with all kinds of pots, pans, and kitchen utensils. He also found a spice rack with the spices neatly labeled. 

The kitchen stove needed to be lit but since it was a game it was basically an on-off function even though in real life you would have to start a fire with wood and wait till it heats up to use it. 

He found a cup and filled it with water from a tap which he then poured into something that said it's a saucepan and added oatmeal and raisins. Rowan strictly followed the recipe and soon the smell of sweetness was coming from the pan.  
  
He was moving the oatmeal into a bowl as Jonas rushed in and picked it up.

"Here's some more oatmeal and raisins. Make yourself a bowl too." 

Old Jonas rushed out with the same speed he came in like he was holding the greatest treasure ever and was afraid someone might steal it. 

Rowan was flabbergasted and was still holding the saucepan which was now clean and empty.

"I guess there is no need for washing dishes here. "

There was also a notification floating. 

Recipe learned [Oatmeal with raisins].

It looked like it was interactive so he targeted [Oatmeal with raisins].

[Oatmeal with raisins]
[Proficiency 1/10] 
Reduces hunger by 30 points. Restores health by 10 points per hour for 3 hours.  

Rowan made another batch and the proficiency changed to 2/10, but this time he could actually eat what he cooked. 

He looked at the result of his work and noticed a difference. 

[Oatmeal with raisins]
Reduces hunger by 21 points. Restores health by 7 points per hour for 3 hours.  
  
"I guess the effects mentioned in the recipe list are with maxed out proficiency."

He ate his oatmeal and it tasted ok. There was something missing but probably if he did it 8 more times it would be perfect. Too bad Jonas did not bring any more oatmeal and raisins. 

"Arrrgh. What am I thinking? I wanted to be a fighter not some lame cook in a VR game. ", the reality of his situation finally kicked in. Well, at least that was Rowan's biggest concern that he was cook not a fighter at the moment. He totally forgot about not being able to log out part of his problems.

The main character finds himself stuck in a virtual reality game by accident while his mother tries to get him back from the company that created it who want to use him for research purposes.

The house are made from wood ans stone, the road paved with stone , well can bee see in the center place.

I take the basic recipe book,the tool and a set of empty bottle. Next step the cloth stall.

This time i only check if they sold silk cloth and don't found it.  "HEHEHE"my precious spider you will  have a lot of work to do. Gold shining piece  can be see in his eye.

Using a small earth pillar i ascend from the "garden", it seems manipulate this world consume mana  i have only  twelve  point remaining.

If this work a small amount of money can be done, next operation think how retrieve the  spider wire i need it to try create silk.

Years 2xxx a Bell sounds can be heard, a purple light covered the sky. Golden pillar start appear between the purple cloud, one minute after these pillar shoot in countless direction. The people stuck by the pillar start flying and where take in the purple cloud. After ten minutes the sky became blue like nothing happened. After investigation one million people have been “kidnapped”, the scientific told alien prepare an invasion by studding humans, religious speech about Armageddon incoming, all talk, but no one knows where they are, this phenomenon was called “The Collect”, after hundred years another Collect begin and another million human where take. Since the 1rst collect twenty more have been done. 


Author note: Hello i hope you enjoy the story, i lake an editor to correct the chapters if someone interested after reading the chapters already made he can contact me with the comments section(better reply to one of my comments will see it more fast ).Good reading :)(33 chapters will be released )

I laughed to his face, "Donating your first 500 phallic points to Seji is a rite of passage for every new trial taker in Satyr Castle. Even this young devil lord had to give him 500 phallic points. Get over it. I just used the damn troll to my advantage to keep what is mine," I said.
Shi Da eyed me with fury as he stormed off to work with another furnace.
I paid no more mind to the foolish human and focused wholeheartedly on alchemy.
Time flowed like water.
After three months of hard work, I was officially a Violet Alchemist, able to craft every type of violet pill-core. My progress slowed considerably when moving to craft violet pill cores. I needed a lot more control when working with multiple alchemy ingredients during pill core refining.
Time and precision were essential to successfully craft violet pill cores. With violet pill-cores, it was no longer a simple matter of throwing in one alchemy ingredient. The minimum standard for creating a violet pill core was to have two alchemy ingredients mixed together.
Supplemental ingredients were strictly required in violet pill cores. Orchid pill cores could be formed without supplemental ingredients as long as your control was good enough, that wasn't the case with violet pill cores. Your knowledge of herb-lore came into full swing when working with these supplemental ingredients.
I had to learn the herbs in and out, knowing how they reacted under various temperatures and how they interacted with other alchemy ingredients. I now understood why every Alchemist picked up herbalism. It was an essential skill to the profession. Even though you could follow formulas, that was hardly enough. Many times formulas would never give you the full picture.
One issue I had was dealing with Ojo Root while crafting a violet cultivation assistance pill core. The recipe I called for the addition of beast skin, for my crafting I choose Hydra Husk. Ojo Root reacted differently with Hydra Husk than I had expected. It turned out Hydra Husk as a beast skin had an earth attribute within it.
Ojo Root was an air attribute root, so it didn't get along well with earth attributed materials. To make Ojo Root meld with an earth attributed ingredient required an additional supplemental herb to counteract the rejection.
I tried many herbs to counteract the rejection and eventually settled on Wild Cress, it was a stabilization agent that did well with balancing air and earth ingredients. None of these issues were even listed within the alchemy recipe. The only thing the recipe called for was Ojo Root with a corresponding Tier-2 beast skin. Everything else to finish the crafting had to be done with my own insight.
I now understood why alchemists held their pill-core recipes so dearly. The basic recipe to craft a pill-core was common knowledge at the low alchemy rank, however crafting a pill-core using the same core ingredient could be drastically different depending on the supplemental ingredients used.
I was quite sure I could even create my own pill core recipe with an entirely different core herb if I did a bit of experimenting. My curiosity had peaked once I thought about this. Sadly, I was in the middle of a trial so I couldn't devote myself seriously to experimentation.
During my time of practicing alchemy, Shi Da and I had actually become friends. He was a hotheaded human, but after spending so much time together we became unlikely allies. It was good to have someone to discuss alchemical knowledge with while learning this craft.
Both he and I understood this well, so we compared our insights while learning the craft. After getting over his initial fury of being tricked by me, and haphazardly failing to enact his revenge, he conceded to my superior prowess.
This young devil lord learned alchemy at a quick pace, so he came to me for guidance, eventually. Since I was a gracious and magnanimous senior I helped the poor boy. This young devil lord was happy to have a pill assistant to increase my supply of phallic points. I was a stage ahead of him, so it profited us both for him to work as my pill assistant.
I worked on crafting pill cores while he gained insight into herb lore, working as my pill assistant. It was a profitable partnership, I didn't take advantage of him. We got into a rhythm as time flowed like water. Before I knew it, an entire year had passed within Satyr Castle.
Shi Da became a Violet Alchemist not long after our partnership started however, he still worked as my pill assistant. We eventually racked up over 25,000 phallic points, split 60/40. It was about time I attempted to break through to become a Grape Alchemist. I had gained all the insights I could within the Violet Alchemist realm.
I pulled out my Aphalla and asked about 'Basic Tier-3 herbs for learning alchemy'.
"Quartermaster is unable to provide Tier-3 herbs, for trial takers to gain Tier-3 herbs they must head to the Savage Land," said Aphalla.
"What is the Savage Land?," I said. This surprised me, but after thinking it over, it was not that surprising. When I went to the garden, I could not find any herbs above Tier-2. Obviously they were kept in another place.
"The Savage Land is a lower world containing rare herbs and savage beasts. The cost for entry to the Savage Land is 5,000 phallic points. For more information on the Savage Land please consider purchasing 'How to Survive the Savage Land' for 500 phallic points."
The picture showcasing 'How to Survive the Savage Land' showed a large black tome that I was sure was filled with much knowledge and information about this treacherous world.
I grumbled and purchased 'How to Survive the Savage Land'. There was no way I could head into a Lower World without more information. A Lower World could contain Tier-6 entities, it was a step above Pocket Worlds. Unlike Pocket Worlds, Lower Worlds had no distinction at every Tier. Every lower world had the possibility of housing a Tier-6 entity. I could ask around, but I had been a recluse for the past year so I didn't know many other trial takers.
Two hours later, PPS came to the door with an enormous package. Inside lay a grand black book. I opened up the book 'How to Survive the Savage Land' and was furious at what I saw.
The overly large comprehensive book I expected to find only contained two words on the first page 'Hire Seji', the rest of the grand tome was blank. This shameless troll had added such a despicable book to the marketplace. His shame knew no bounds. I immediately went to go find Seji to give him a piece of my mind.
It wasn't hard to locate the troll; as he spent most of his time around the arena. When I spotted the troll, I eyed him with daggers.
"Hey mon, why the long look? You're a valuable customer," said Seji with no sense of shame.
"You You You," I said, unable to even make a coherent sentence in my fury. This damned troll had scammed me out of another 500 phallic points!

With Luna's help, he flipped through page after page and soon finished the book he was holding. He recognized some patterns in the runes but most of them were unknown. The problem was that while the designs were accompanied by an explanation, it was of course written in Easan, which he didn't understand.

In other words, to understand what the unknown runes were used for, he had two options, he could either spend some time to try and translate the text, or he could just simulate the rune and see what happen. It goes without saying he chose the latter, it sounded way more fun.

He ran back to Catherine and entered his soul world. A few moments later, he was in his lab and proceeded to craft the first rune in the book. It appeared behind the Plexiglass and without further ado, Joshua activated it, his eyes shining with anticipation.

The entire lab exploded. Before he could react, his body was pierced by shards of Plexiglass succeed by being heavily burned by the blast. The force of the explosion projected what remained of his body several dozens of meters away. He landed on a 17-inch monitor, his head going right through it. His right arm was gone and the rest of his body looked like it was about to fall apart. With great difficulty, he used his left arm to push out his head out of the screen. His face was cut all over and full of glass shards. He spat one out and merely said one word: 'Whoops.'

Luckily, he was a mere spirit and he quickly reformed his soul projected body. Looking at the ruins of his lab, he scratched his head.
'Well, that didn't go as planned…'
What exactly did go wrong? He had runes not working as intended before when he experienced with the basic models, but he never caused a major explosion. While he didn't know what the effect the rune would have, he was sure exploding on activation wasn't it. He considered to mass produce this rune to use it as a bomb, but that didn't seem like a good idea. There were too many unknown factors here. For example, maybe he had put too much energy in the rune, or had put the energy in it with the wrong way. Maybe the rune couldn't be used on its own and had to be combined with another. Or maybe the text he didn't understand just said: 'This is a perfect example of the kind of rune you must never produce, as the design is so stupid, it will blow up in your face.' In any case, he had to set randomly trying out unknown runes aside from now on.
'Well… At least until I manage to build a lab solid enough to resist an explosion,' he thought, grinning.

He spent a moment cleaning up his lab and rebuilding what had been destroyed. The group was going to wake up soon, so he headed for the kitchen and prepared breakfast for everyone. The refrigerator was actually well furnished, he presumed Delila had been living quite the luxury life here. Grabbing a couple of eggs he started making omelets. Joshua was actually a fairly decent cook, following a recipe was like following a software installation procedure in his mind. This random thought he had would soon prove itself to be of vital importance.

As the party members woke up and made their way to the kitchen, they couldn't help but stare at Joshua who was dressed as a famous chef. He welcomed them with a smile, the table was well furnished by now and tasting what he had prepared, everyone was pleasantly surprised. Catherine was glad to see he was back on his feet and acting 'normally'. Of course, he didn't mention anything about the visit he had during the night so he just told her he woke up early to prepare food.

When they were done eating, Catherine decided to hold a status meeting.
"Everyone, with the discovery of this building, I think we have reached a milestone in our journey," she started, " I propose we remain here until we have inspected every nook and cranny of the area."
Everyone nodded, this place was an obvious boon for them, therefore, it was no surprise they all agreed to halt their journey for a moment.
"His Majesty is looking for ancient weaponry. The rune factory we found alone could qualify as a success for the mission," Eric added.
"Technically, he had no idea what he wanted when he sent us down here," Joshua added in a sarcastic tone, "He basically told us 'Go down there and find ancient stuff that can be useful for the war.' which is about as vague as it can get. We could just grab the weapons in the factory and go back up and he should be happy we actually found something."
Joshua didn't personally care for the mission, Catherine and he had a much bigger problem to deal with, the Crow. It just happened that their goal aligned with that of the king or he would have looked for a loophole to abort this ridiculous escapade.

"In any case, we should explore the entire area," Catherine said, "Cynthia, Lydia, and Boris, I'll charge you with inspecting the floors above. It's mostly in ruins but maybe there will be something useful."
The three nodded.
"Eric, Joshua and I will form the research team. We'll examine all the records and machines down here and learn as much as we can."
"About that, unsurprisingly the documents here are written in Easan. Translating them will take some time," Joshua explained.
"This isn't unexpected, can Luna help us with the translation?" Catherine replied.
"We'll need as much sample data of the language as possible. But even then, it will probably take some time. Auto-translation is incorporated in the system, but Luna can't translate a language that she's never seen before."
"I see," she nodded and turned to the exploration team," if you guys find any documents or books while searching above, bring them to us. Even the apparently most useless details, anything should help."
"Very well, we'll be on our way!" Cynthia replied, pumping her fist in the air before leaving along with her sister and Boris.

As for the research team, Eric was interested in the species in the vats so he would start by making an inventory of what was present. Catherine and Joshua decided to read as many books as possible to boost Luna's database. Catherine left ahead for the library while Joshua put the plates they had used for breakfast away.

He opened a random drawer and was surprised to find a book inside. He opened it, and it looked like a cookbook. As expected, it was written in Easan. He flipped through the pages and saw that several recipes were actually illustrated which gave him an idea.

He picked a recipe for what appeared to be some sort of salad. There were drawings of the various ingredients and the required amount. Based on the drawings, he figured out several vegetable names. Next, he moved on to the instructions and had Luna record the text. The first line stood right next to the image of a man cutting carrots in pieces with a knife. He then added 'Cut carrots with a knife' as suggested translation for the first line in the system. He repeated the process for every picture he saw. Unfortunately, there wasn't a picture for every line, so he ended up with a half-translated recipe. Not giving up, he made a guess at the missing instructions and tried to prepare the salad. This took him about 20 min. The end result didn't look very good which made him believe he had made a mistake somewhere. He bravely grabbed a spoon and put a piece in his mouth. It was disgusting. With great difficulty, he swallowed it. Still, since he ate it, Luna could analyze the food and make suggestions on what had gone wrong. He then revised his recipe and tried again.

It was about this time that Catherine contacted him.
"Where are you? I thought you would jump at the opportunity to examine all those runes."
"I think I found a way to improve our Easan that's more efficient than randomly reading books, come back to the kitchen, I'll show you."
She smiled.
"Well, if you think it's more interesting than runes, it must be quite something. I'll be right back."
A few minutes later, she was back and saw him busy cooking. She looked confused so he proceeded to explain his plan to use the cooking book to learn some words in Easan.
"That's a good idea, I'll give you a hand."
Their progress together was much faster, as some recipes were still known in modern-day Cestor and Catherine was able to fill in the blanks.
By the end of the day, they had managed to successfully prepare most dishes in the book.
While they were still a far way off of understanding a complex book about runecrafting, they had gained quite a bit of basic vocabulary.

The exploration team returned around six in the evening. Boris had made a few trips back and forth to bring the guardians they had fought at the entrance back to the lab. Eric had taken out a sketchbook and made drawings and took notes on the various creatures in the vats, unknown or not. As for the twins, they had spent the day gathering all kinds of ruined documents. Joshua glanced through them briefly to look for something easy to understand like the cookbook and rejoiced upon seeing a pile Lydia had found.

"Comic books!"

After dying, our main character found himself summoned by a young woman. She comes from a long line of summoners and had expected to partner up with a powerful being, like the rest of her family. Instead, she summoned a computer programmer, who from now on will be living inside her head. Powerless, he's unable to help her with the upcoming war. Disappointed that neither of them had been blessed by fate with some divine abilities, he decides to build a computer system inside her head himself.

as i walked toward the exit, i began to arrange my bag. I've learnt hunter's skill book such as rapid shot, dual shot ,and haste. 2 damage skill and 1 movement skill.the skill was categorized to be quite common but it's just oerfect for my current level. skill could also be learned  by paying a specific NPC according to your class.I also got some bronze grade hunter's equipment :gloves, boots, leather armour.

suddenly,I felt the compass move and a notification popped out

~Tring~
'there are treasure chest around. quickly find it'
then, i took out the compass and follow the lead. finally, she found a treasure chest covered by trees. 'it's a bronze chest.i wonder what is inside.' then, she aligned the necklace to the chest lock. after a second, it opened. she reached out her hand and took out everything. there are 2 thing inside and some gold and silver. a bracelet and a skill book, gathering.the skill book allow me to harvest herbs and crops.after i've learned it , i'll start gathering plants along the road to town.i've also worn the bracelet, it's stats was quite good.
 i started practice my gathering skill with nearby herbs. what's amazing is my maps function is improved because of the skill. i can now locate plants nearby me in a certain range.i pick them up and put them into my inventory. sometimes i failed, but my success rate was improving.

after picking the 'n' plants..
~Tring~
'congrats... you're gathering skill has level up to basic level. you could harvest any plant preserving it in 'good quality'. the more you harvest, the quicker you level up this skill to fill your skill exp bar so you could harvest higher quality plants in better condition.'

'hmm..,I can't always find treasure all the time as the system said i need luck to find it as treasure are treasure after all,finding a side activities was good too.well, let's continue to collect variety of plants. But what should i do with them later? should i learn alchemy or maybe cooking?oh well, i will learn it if i'm lucky to pass by an opportunity.'
while she walk past a lake, she heard an old man voice,
'sigh.. my darling why do you not want me to catch you. i've waited for years for you. '
'gosh... is he a pervert?! i should get out here fast.but wait.. from what he said, there's another person there. is the girl being force?! she got a bad luck. should i save her? but i'm still weak,what if the pervert is very strong?sigh... i should see the situation first .'then, she slowly tip toed there.she hide behind a tree near the old man. When she peek, her mouth twitch. who would have it was an old man fishing for fish.
'sigh.. what a misleading word.everyone would have though he was a pervert it's not me who was overthinking.'
suddenly the old man's fishing rod got pulled. ' oh.. finally my darling came. my darling don't push me again. this old bone can't afford it.'
'sigh... old man could you use more appropriate word? it really could  cause people imagination to run wild.'
'ah..  please don't try to run a way. sigh.. I hope a have 6 arms to pull this rod.it's just to heavy.'
after hearing the old man words, I felt a little pity. should I help him? well, at least his not a pervert. so I guess nothing will go wrong.'
then, she went forward.
'mister, I just heard that you need help. how can I help you?'
'Ah.. thank goodness. my plea must have been heard by the moon goddess and she had sent you hear for me. quick! help me pull this rod with all your strength. then I grab it and pulled together. 
after a while, the fish was finally pulled. 'my darling, finally you've come to my arm.do you know how long I've wanted for this?' as the fisherman continue whispering sweet word to the fish. ,I could feel my mouth twitch fiercely.'sigh.. this old man taste is really something.'
after who knows how long, the fisherman finally realized there was somebody else around .' cough.. thank yoj young lad. you've help me achieve what I wish for years. now I could leave this world in peace. for your help ,I'll teach you how to fish.'
~Tring~
'Fisherman Nicoz wanted to teach you fishing skill to repay your kindness for helping him catch his lifelong goal.' 
'Fishing? that's unexpected.with this skill, I could it eat fish in game from now on.' then I chose 'yes'.
'good lad, here is my gift for you. I hope you could put it to good use.' then, he continue fishing.
---------------------------
Nikoz's Fishing rod(Bronze)/grow type
Nikoz is a grandmaster fisherman who had passion for fishing more than his life. To upgrade the fishing rod, you must catch certain fishes. this fishing rod also increases your chances on catching fish and fished out precious item.'
---------------------------
after saying goodbye, i checked the time. 'Gosh
... i've already been in the forest for almost two hours and i have just gone halfway from the exit. i mustn't waste my time anymore.' then, i hurriedly run.
30 minutes later later...
'Finally, i have arrive. Sigh.. my experience in the forest really isn't counted to be pleasant. next time, i'll go with some people. talk about people,my brother should have arrived. let's try giving him a  call. the pod is connected to our phone after all.
~Tring~
"Hello, Jun. where are you now?"
"Hi, Bai. why do you call me? do you need any help?"
"Nah, i'm fine.i have just come out of the elven forest as i've stuck there for 3 hours."
"it's good that you're fine. but you need to level up quickly as you're left behind for a week from the game started.Do you want me to help you? you didn't really have much experience with this game afterall."
"Nope, i'm fine on my own. oh!,what city are you staying right now ?"
"well,after leaving the beginner town, me and my friends had been staying on Sodram city for a while now. why? do you want to stay here too? it's a quite a nice place."
"Sodram city huh... i'll think about. Bye"
"Bye"
'I'll add him as friend first'
~Tring~
'Black Hell have accepted your friend request'
'Good!now let's buy some supplies first. if something like the incident in the forest happen again, i'll surely die.'
Then , she went to the nearest shop.it's called Fatimah's shop.
upon entering, a middle aged woman greet me.
"Hello young lady.feel free to walk around and see if there is anything you're interested in. you could call me if you need my help. if you're done, just go to the cashier.please take your time. "
while she was walking around, here eyes darted everywhere.
Beside selling consumable ,it also sold weapon, accessory, table ware,night goggle, and even vending machine.in short, there are many things modeled from actual things for convenient in game.

after paying for the things I thought would be useful, I went around the town. maybe there were something interesting.
getting out of the store, she checked the map.
'Let's see. the nearest shop was a cake shop. I really want to try how cake is like in this game.' 
Zelie's dessert cafe was a 2 story building. its decoration was very cute and majority of girls also like to eat sweet which made lots of female players interested to come. But reality is cruel, it's too expensive for poor people to afford the cake while the wealthy players didn't care about some sweets.poor players could only stand outside of the shop.so until now  nobody had ever buy the cake.
while Bai Tian in her encounter with the monster horde had miraculously acquired lots of money,so she didn't have the same fate as them. 
When she get inside, many girls shocked while others began to mock her as if they will see another person made fun of themselves. girls tend to group with men and act coquettish just to level up together with them or completing quest so they don't really have much money.
Bai Tian don't care about them and casually walked into the shop.
'Hi miss, i'm Zelie. welcome to my shop. What cake would you like to buy?'
"Hi Zelie. could recommend me some of your shop's speciality?"
'sure. if you want something sweet and sour , you can try this caramel lime cake.while if you want something chocolaty, you  can try this triple layer chocolate cake . take your pick?'
"then I'll take one each. how much is it?"
'here's the cake . it's all 10 silver.'
I went to a random table and seat. both of the cake really look appetizing. when I take a bite at the caramel lime cake, a refreshing sweet and sour flavor washed pass my mouth. a pure bliss expression was shown on my face.then I also took a bite at the triple layers chocolate cake. the bitter sweet filling was just very stimulating.
'so delicious. I should buy some for Jun. I'll give it to him after i left the beginner town'
"excuse me . could you wrap 2 more of this for me?"
Zelie revealed a shock expression ,'really?! do you like cake that much? I've never encounter anybody who spent  a lot of money in dessert like you. look at other people outside. countless people had come and go but nobody buy any.you're the first.'
"well. I'm actually quite interested in dessert and I like to try different sweets."
Zelie's eyes shone she grabbed  my hand and said,' that's great! I've finally found my sweet lover buddy. hey! are you interested in making sweets?'
~Tring~
'Zelie had asked you if you wanted to learned  dessert making'
'Wow... you can learn this
too?! it seems like to trigger this, you need to spent some money on buying sweets.nobody will waste money like me.
I select 'yes'.
'Great! follow me to the back. let me teach you some basic recipe. 
3 recipe was taught to me: red velvet cake , apple pie, peanut butter macaroons.
the baking session is quite simple. you only need concentration and artistic mind. the harder the recipe, the more you need to work hard. practice make perfect after all.
---------------------------
red velvet cake 
rating :☆☆
Effect :Max HP +200,
              Max MP +50
apple pie
rating :☆☆
Effect : stamina +20,
              intelligence + 20
peanut butter macaroon
rating :☆☆☆
Effect :Strength +30,
              Speed +30
---------------------------
after finish baking, I've found that every cake gave different temporary bonus stats. like red velvet gave you  max HP +200 max MP+50, while apple pie gave you strength +30 and speed+30 , etc. the higher the material quality , the higher the stats and quality.
'it seems like I also need to learn how to farm and have my own house where i can raise my plants and animals, I also need to learn how to cook too.it would be fun.'
~Tring~ 
'you're dessert making skill have level up to basic level. continue making dessert to level up your skill'.

' hmm.. I should try collecting more recipes.'

after saying goodbye to Zelie,
I went to a nearby restaurant. to trigger the learning quest, all you need to do was talk to the restaurant manager who seem to be very busy.after I talk to him, he said that the kitchen is lack of man power.then, I'll offer my help. that's where the  quest start.he gave me the cooking skill and  a spicy pork ribs recipe . then , I started to cook according to the instructions written. the food gives bonus stats just like dessert. after finished,I went back to meet the manager.
'thank you, young elf.you've just save me and this restaurant from chaos.  you're very talented.'
then, he gave me some exp and money.
~Tring~ 
'you're cooking skill have level up to basic level. continue cooking to level up your skill'.

after learning, I went out of the restaurant and go to the gardening shop to buy common seeds,like rice,vegetables,etc.
' I think it's enough for now. let's go leveling up and try our new skills as well as earn some money to buy my future house.' then, i went back to the forest. but only in the rear this time.

ning bai tian:

An 18 years old girl from a wealthy family that supported their descendants to be independant.
She always topped her class and receive countless admiration.
One day, her twin older brother bought her something she always thought as unnecessary, a gaming pod. From then on, her life felt as if she found something meaningful to pursue.

In the game, life skill players were looked down because majority of player thought they were weak.
"life skill player are weak? Then don't bother to come to us to buy 'trash' from the one you disdained."
she gather all talented life skill player all over the game and built the very first life skill empire. 
They became stronger that nobody dare to look down on them.
Some player even said, "you will feel your life is very fulfilling if you could just take one item from the life skill empire's storage room that was more precious than any guild' possesion."

Let's Begin Our Journey!!!

The dude orc was done with his digging leaving the other behind in the dust, holding the shovel in his hand like a sword. Slamming the shovel down he flung the square of dirt and gravel before slashing around twenty times turning them into smaller cubes.

'Task complete!'

The orc gave a thumbs up at the screen, and turned to look over the ground beneath him as if to examine it. Giving the orc ten more orders he nodded and started walking towards one of the other plots. What had taken 20 hours before was now 15 hours, though I couldn't be sure if that was because of the squares or if it was all due to his evolution. 

'Resources from excavation (One Chest Found): 14 Iron, 25 Upgrades, 50 Repair, 200 Gold, 100 Wood, 1 Spell Scroll, 4 Recipe Scrolls.'

I drank down my glass of tea slowly, staring at these numbers before immediately all my Lame Orcs were now Dude Orcs. The other one already digging was now done excavating, pulverizing the ground with his fists.

'Resources from excavation: 10 Repair, 15 Upgrades, 20 Mana Crystals (Upgradable), 1 Weapon Art.'

Pulling up information on a few of the items I didn't recognize, the weapon art came up first, it was an item that when you rip it in half it teaches you a universal weapon art. If you ripped two, it would become a weapon art of chosen weapon, and ten ripped at the same time would allow you to choose the art learned. Ripping it to find out the strength of these tickets, a 'Feather Shift' handbook appeared in its place.

Reading the first few pages of it I understood what the use was, it made the user temporarily light with mana. It wasn't powerful at all, but the utility of it was amazing, after mastering the technique it specifies you will be as light as a cicada's wing. 

Putting it to the side I grabbed the recipe scrolls, they had the same set up. One for random, two for a specific category, ten to choose your own recipe. "If I rip ten of these tickets can I learn a secret recipe from ancient times?"

'As long as it is in the users capability to create it is available, same with any other ticket. Also the more you rip the more you can specify about the book gained.'

So saving them up until I was stronger is a valid option though one I can not take right now. I ripped all four individually. The four recipes I got were healing balm, torture powder, green house and green grass grower. Healing balm was a basic healing balm that healed over time which was something I had never heard about. Torture powder was a more advanced itching powder that if they scratched it would increase in effectiveness. The one non-alchemical recipe was a building that helped with plant growth. The last was a fertilizer that helped with growing plants.

One of the recipes was something I knew how to make, the green grass grower, according to the system itself I had never registered it so I could receive a duplicate that way. Next was the spell scroll which gave me a spell called, Weapon Manifestation. It simply allowed me to make a weapon that I was familiar with. I tried making a pistol, but sadly I could not create the bullets which made the pistol kind of useless. 

The crystals on the other hand were unique, I could use them to increase the purity of my mana through them making it even easier to create and learn creation magic, but again making it harder to learn death magic. With five of the crystals I could upgrade the crystal to a higher purity one so I upgraded the crystal four times, with three crystals left over.

These crystals weren't something original only to me, but they were fairly expensive, each one costing around fifty gold. They were nicknamed specialization stones since once you had a top grade one it was impossible to learn the opposition school of magic. Your mana just could not be converted into the other type.

The mages came and went already as I was assigning the Orcs to their tasks, a series of notifications coming up as I did so. They were about 20% faster now that they weren't lame. Their interactions gaining a few more words "look bro," "sup bro," and "see bro!" I was curious what they would say once they got a better vocabulary.

Repair, there were three options that I really wanted so I settled for upgrading my mana sensitivity as far as it could go. Mediocre gave way to Superb, which gave way to Excellent, which let me see even more flaws in my circuit. Repairing that I ordered Jade to gather every book on creation magic that she could using my identity token.

Strengthening my body further would take some time, plus I had a teacher that would further guide me from here. Supplying mana to my body I felt rejuvenated so I could do without sleep for a night at least, but what Jade brought back even surprised me. 145 books altogether, and a large golden book that looked to be the size of at least 30 of these books. 

"Did you rob a bookstore Jade?!" I asked as I gawked at the amount of books coming into my room. 

Jade looked just as confused as I did, but shook her head, "I just gave them your token and asked for as many books on creation as I could."

Seeing the token I sighed, I had given her Solomon's token instead of my own it seemed. Since I was already going to get in trouble, I started reading the books one by one starting from beginner magic.

Notifications rang throughout the night:

Minor Tool Creation Learned
Minor Circuit Creation Learned…

In total I learned all the books by the time I came out of the bed, having such a high sensitivity to magic, and having a such a good circuit truly made learning all of this a breeze. Jade was sleeping at the foot of my bed, refusing to go until I went to sleep myself. Sadly the stamina of a 14 year old could not keep her awake for very long.

I had also learned golem creation which was my main goal, these other books were just so the system didn't give me any spells that I had access to. Taking off Jade's bracelet I called a few servants over to return the books to the library, and grab any advanced book on golem creation that they could find.

Since I had a teacher now, I might as well show up as a very valuable pupil so that he'd spend more resources on me. I grinned at the thought though I found that after learning so many spells the creation spells were all utility spells. The most offensive one was golem creation.

I made four golems before getting dressed in training clothes, no longer needing to find clothes I had just conjured them onto my body. One of the atrocious outfits Nikolai loved were turned into my outfit, having been created using mana it was stronger and more elastic than the material I made it from.

"Now for my first lesson." I quickly stretched before heading out the door, little did I know I would come to regret ever leaving my room.

So begins my journey, from death to life and everything in between. I have taken over the body of Nikolai Nightingale, and I will learn the path of a true alchemist with the genetics of monsters and with my by my side. For a true alchemist is never mostly harmless...

Welcome to the castle system!

Fu Yan returned to his room and pushed the questions in the back corner of his mind because pondering about these questions won't do him any good so he focused on the book instead.
The book was all about cloud computing and it was divided into many branches.
The knowledge in the book was indeed advance for him and he might have to spend quite a lot of time to understand it if he had not received the gift from Old Shun.
Some basic knowledge about the cloud computing was already implanted in his mind which amazed him because this knowledge implanting technology was something which would take mankind hundreds of years to master.
This also showed the strength of the library.
The first topic in the book covered basic of cloud computing and how data is handled in the cloud.
Anyone can do cloud computing but the main part of it is to reduce data usage and improve speed.
This is the core research on which many technology giants are spending millions of dollars.
The Book explained many new technologies which he had never heard of.
Like how to compress data and reduce its size so that no matter what kind of internet connection the user had, he would not experience "Lag'.
It also explained how to update software and implement them on a cloud-based platform without rebooting or stopping the service.
This was the technology that Fu Yan needed.
Most games when they are updated, they need to restart to implement the changes and its not just limited to the game. 
Most software works on this principle so this technology is a game-changer. If Fu Yan intended to sell this technology, many companies would pay millions of US dollars to use it.
That's how much value this has.
Well, this is the talk of some other time.
Now Fu Yan needed to focus on his game.
He called Fei Hong and told her to buy servers because the technology would become the core of the company and no person in his right mind would place his most valuable thing in someone else hand.
It's like you have a secret recipe and give it to your friend to safeguard, there is no way he won't peek and when he sees benefits, he will steal and by changing something in it, he would say that it's his secret recipe.
So he had to build his own server farm because he was not going to trust anyone but himself.
After telling her his requirements, he ended the call and return to his work.
                                    ...…..

1 month has passed since Fei Hong was recruited by Fu Yan.
Ever since then Fei Hong has been constantly working. Sometimes she thinks that she should quit but after she saw the game that was developed by Fu Yan a week ago she never complained because she could see that game was totally on a different league than those available in the market and she also have shares in the company so more the company prosper more she would earn.
Today she working in the office she had rented, with employees she had hired just a few days ago. They were sorting out many legal issues and were making documents and were sorting the paperwork done.
Upon hearing that Fu Yan wanted to buy servers now, she knew that the game has entered the final stage.
She was excited but also confused because according to Fu Yan, He did not just wanted to buy a small farm, he wanted a Big farm and it should have the capacity to expand in the future if needed also the security has to be good too.
The company had 50 million C-dollars remaining and an extra 5 million in reserve.
They would be able to buy a good server farm with it easily but Fei Hong was not in a hurry to buy.
She was going to scout the market first and then decide.
After spending 2 days on surveying the market, she decided to buy a server farm that was just outside the city and was big enough with a good amount of security.
This farm was owned by a game company which was going bankrupt now and they were selling it in a hurry so she was getting a good deal. 
It was a pretty Big server farm but now it was just ¼ of its previous size as they had sold many servers previously because of budget issue so it was no problem to expand it in the future.
Since it was used by a gaming company before so they had a very good security system.
It was bought by Fei Hong with a price tag of 30 million C-dollars.
She Called Fu Yan after finalizing the deal but he was not picking up.
She called again after some time thinking "He Might be busy" but he still did not pick up.
Now She was getting worried because Fu Yan still did not pick up his phone after she called a 3rd time.
This has never happened before because Fu Yan would send her a message if he was busy that "I Will call you later" but she had not received any message so she decided to go check personally.
She went to the house that was rented by Fu Yan and just when she was about to ring the doorbell, The lock opened on its own.
She went in after hesitating a bit.
The server room was making a huge noise because the Fans were spinning at a high speed and the temperature in the house was also a 4 to 5 degree higher than outside.
The Ac was running on full but the temperature was still not coming down.
Fei Hong was a little surprised upon entering the house but she soon calmed herself down and looked towards the room where Fu Yan used to work.
Just outside the room, she could hear beeping noise coming from the room. 
It was not clear what it was about.
She knocked on the door and said.
"Fu Yan it's me, Fei Hong. Can I come in."
But there was no answer.
She knocked again but still no answer.
Now she was worried so she opened the door and went in.
Upon entering the room she found Fu Yan unconscious on the floor and his computer screen was constantly flickering with a huge amount of words popping and the most noticeable word was Big Brother!.
She ignored it and hurriedly check Fu Yan's condition.
His breathing a little abnormal and he was sweating a lot, probably because of the heat in the house.
She picked him up and hurried outside and put him in the back seat of the car and hurried towards the hospital.
What she did not notice was that the door was locked on its own again and in the server room, the fans started to spin even at a faster speed.
