this is just a book im reading and need the audio function! so dont waste time here im already in chapte 55 or something

Jim, an outdoor enthusiast didn't know how large a role he would play in the world's future

Li Du couldn’t understand why Thompson was so hostile toward him. Was it because he was close to Sophie? Didn’t that guy know that with his strange temperament, even without Li Du, Sophie would never be with him?

Despite only two encounters, Mr. Li had already grasped what kind of person Thompson was. He was trash, a failure of a human!

He had to keep the questions in his heart for now. After stopping the bleeding for the youth, the ambulance left swiftly toward the hospital to perform the latter part of the surgery.

Li Du didn’t go along, so Hans drove over to fetch him.

Sometime later, Sophie called, and said in a gentle tone, "The operation was a success. The damaged artery has been closed. Li, I want to express my thanks for today."

Li Du said with a smile, "No need for thanks. We worked together to save that man’s life."

Sophie was interested in his surgical expertise, and began asking about the topic.

Li Du had almost no knowledge in that field. The reason he could find the bullet and apply the sponge was all due to the bug.

He knew that the more he spoke, the more he would reveal, so he cleverly changed the topic to Ah Meow.

Thus, with Ah Meow as the main topic, the two chatted pleasantly for half the afternoon, until Sophie was called to perform another surgery.

In the evening, when they were preparing to have dinner, Hans picked up a call, and then said, "Buddy, we have new work to do."

Li Du asked, "Which storage company is having an auction?"

Hans gleefully said, "It’s not a normal storage auction this time; it’s kind of like a mutated auction. A book company has declared bankrupt, and we’re going to clear out their storage."

"Which book company is declaring bankruptcy? My God, it can’t be Borders?" Hannah, who was preparing the dishes, stuck her head out of the kitchen.

Hans shrugged, and pointed his finger at her. "Your guess is right. It’s Borders. All their storage in Phoenix will be cleared out."

Hannah said helplessly, "D*mmit, the bookstores are getting fewer. In the future, where will our children go to read? Dutton’s, The Bodhi Tree—all of them have gone bankrupt. Also Barnes & Nobles. I remember when I was still in school how that bookstore had many branches."

"What’s the use in having branches?" Hans asked. "Their sales were poor. Let’s take you as an example; did you go to those bookstores when you were in school?" 

Hannah said, "Of course I went…"

"And you read so many books, but still ended up not making into any of the specialized schools?" Hans cut her off.

Hannah’s face flushed red, and she argued, "I-I went to bookstores to buy books, though the number of books I read wasn’t many. But I know that we should read more books."

Li Du nodded and said, "Correct. Books are humankind’s best friend."

Hans shook his head and said, "I don’t understand much about that, so save your breath. The reduction in the number of bookstores is a nationwide trend, not just Phoenix. But if you guys want to buy books, there are still some bookstores out there, like Stories, Skylight Books, Book Soup, The Last Bookstore…"

He went out every day, so he was familiar with those shops. From the tip of his tongue, he named many book companies that were still in business.

Li Du said, "In reality, these are not all needed. All that’s necessary is one in Arizona."

After resting for a day in Flagstaff, they once again set out on the road to Phoenix.

In the lobby of the Steampunk Hotel, some treasure hunters had gathered. After seeing them, these people waved their hands in greeting.

"Hello, Li, Hans, and the monster. Good morning, fellas."

"Phoenix is going to be scrubbed clean again—hope you guys leave something behind this time."

"Li, I heard you guys taught Lucas, that dumb buffalo, a lesson? That guy left Phoenix."

Li Du was surprised, and said, "Taught what lesson? We didn’t screw with him. What happened?"

"That guy spent over 50,000 dollars trying to get a storage unit with stone sculptures, thinking that there would be a bunch of valuable art in it," a well-built treasure hunter said with a laugh. "Turns out all of it was just worthless junk. Heard that the unit was snatched from you?"

Li Du said, "Right—that unit was worthless? I wanted to take a risk for it, but their offer was too high, over 50,000 dollars."

That information was quite useful for him, though he still wanted to personally examine those sculptures to researc their material and time energy to find out what secrets the bug was still hiding.

But it seemed that it was not possible anymore. Lucas would rather destroy those sculptures than give them to him.

They sat at the back to drink, and started talking about the book storage that was being auctioned.

The treasure hunters were feeling emotional, saying that people who read books were getting fewer, and hypothesized that bookstores would disappear completely in the future.

"The disappearance of bookstores is still a small issue—if indoor malls are gone, d*mmit, that would be the worst," a treasure hunter named Bale sighed.

Indoor malls were some of the most bustling places in American history. The Beverly Center in Phoenix, built in 1982, could be said to represent the peak of the era of indoor malls.

But today, following the rise of e-commerce and outdoor malls, indoor malls in many cities in America had lost their popularity.

E-commerce was cheap, and it was healthier to shop at outdoor malls. For example, when someone was trying on clothes, their companions could enjoy a few minutes of sunshine.

Americans were emphasizing more and more on health and happiness. Many people had busy jobs, so they had to strive for every chance they could get if they wanted to enjoy a healthy life.

"Well, I feel that if palm trees were gone, then that would really be the worst," another treasure hunter said.

In Phoenix, the palm trees by the side of the road stood out in the city landscape. They were also one of the specialties of the city.

Unfortunately, since 2006, due to aging and diseases, the palm trees had been dying off. The urban planners had started replacing them with oak, mulberry, and other types of trees.

People were heatedly discussing the sports that were slowly disappearing from society. The one that had disappeared the most was horse racing.

Some of the animals were also disappearing; for example, the Desert Black Widow. Arizona was one of the main habitats of these spiders. They were vicious, aggressive, and had strong venom, causing lots of trouble.

According to the research from entomologists for the past two years, the number of Desert Black Widows in Arizona was dwindling. The population of some non-local, Brown Widows was increasing instead.

The Brown Widow was poisonous as well, but it was relatively less aggressive, so the threat to humans was less.

Speaking of that, some of the treasure hunters celebrated. "I won’t mourn the loss of spiders; my son, Mark, was once bitten by a darn spider. D*mmit, that b*stard almost killed him!"

As the treasure hunters casually chatted, Li Du drank a glass of ice-cold beer with them, and then brought Godzilla and Hans to the storage units of the book company. He wanted to check them out early and see if there was a chance of finding something good.



They love gold, and they love silver. Even more so, they love gems that dazzle, like stars across the skies. 
Firearms, jewelleries, and precious metals; A collector’s world will not be complete without antiques.  
Storage auctions, old goods trade, re-estate sales and gold-digging. But the truth is, if one wants to make money, then the supreme way is through searching for the legendary treasures. 
Holding the fort, there’s an ocelot, a wolf, and an Andes condor. At the side, there’s a loyal hound, an irascible ape, and an African honey badger. Who said that you can only rely on humans when treasure hunting?! 

"Cecile who is that guy?"

Sure enough, Brother won't forget the episode that just happened.

"He is one of my friends from Spero and one of the managers of Temone"

"Are you guys lovers?"

As I heard the chilly voice behind me, I was surprised to see the one asking was actually the Scum Prince.

At the same time, the hand that was holding mine tightened the grip. S*it what are you eating bro?

"I'm not sure as how my romantic life is related to you, but for the sake of no misunderstanding the answer is no. We have a pure friendship for years"

"You're only friend and he can do things like that to you?"

This words could have been said from any one but you b*tch lead-sama.

"Dear Miss Julia, I'm currently single and his actions is more like a big brother caring for his sister. Please don't be mistaken"

"But-"

'Shut up squirrel'

"So let me explain how Temone works. We have private rooms, the nobles room, the noblewomen room, the nobleman room, the commoners room, the general room and the outdoor tables. All of the rooms, offer books and a place to sit and relax. The books of each room are more emphasized on the topic or genre that is more popular among the target public of the room. The rooms differ in some details like the pallet colors used do decorate and some things that are available in each room. As for the outdoor tables-"

As I was explaining the rooms a low sob started to get louder.

'What the f*ck do you want now squirrel?'

"What is wrong Julia, are you hurt somewhere?"

"No. *sob* you can continue don't mind me *sob*"

Even if I want to ignore you right now I can't. Handing her a handkerchief provided by one of the butler that was accompanying us, I asked in the most gentle voice possible to not scare this little squirrel that could run with my bag of money at any time.

"Did I perhaps done or said that make you upset?"

"*sob* don't you think is to sad *sob* that you discriminate against commoners?*sob*"

Ohh, you were this type right. Completely forgot.

"I guess you misunderstood me Miss Julia. Most of my friends are commoners after all, and regarding the rooms, although they're divided like so the client can go to any room he chooses besides the private room, unless he is an IP member. We only thought that our clients would be more relaxed surrounded by a familiar atmosphere. When a commoner is surrounded by nobles or vice-versa they often don't feel relaxed. But if you wish to go to the commoners room or they want to visit the nobles room, it's not prohibited"

"It is so?"

"Yes. But since you probably were not the only who had this misconception I will change the name of the rooms, so people won't become offended like you did. Thank you for your kind review"

Well, even if I think you don't need to cry for it, is actually a problem that I let it pass because I thought it wouldn't matter. 

'Note to self: Change the of the rooms.'

"Well, I will finish explain the other two types of room and then you can choose the one you prefer or we can bust all of them for you to see which do you prefer. The outdoor tables are tables in our garden that are cover by a parasol. They are ideal if you want to appreciate flowers or a go on a date. And our final type of room, is the private room that is exclusive to the members of IP. Do you have any questions?"

"What is IP? And why should one become member?"

"Excellent question Lukas-niisama! IP is the abbreviation for my conglomerate. I named Imperium Pacem, this is only the first store, within 2 weeks we are schedule to open 3 more stores and I hope you can visit them and give me reviews!"

"You mean you want me to spend as much as I can on your establishments right?"

"Lukas-Niisama is no fun when you expose me like that! Oh right! Max, give our guests the catalogue explaining the perks for each of the membership. As you can see for your status the most fit one is the platinum membership, as all of you are high ranking nobles. And you can have access to the private room that fits perfect to your group"

You can flirt like a harem do only in private so it's the best option.

"Oh? But I don't think I need all these benefits"

Lukas you can't say that you all are the people I want to rob the most! Grabbing his hand I started to sell pitiful. 

For the sake of money, what is dignity? Sorry I don't know this word.

"Ne, Lukas-niisama, as a proper false niisama who love his false cute imouto, you would part with 30 gold coins to support her humble business right? You see that I'm so pitiful, so you should support me with this mere coins that means nothing to you. With that you can buy my eternal gratitude!"

*flick* ouch my forehead.

"Silly girl, I, of course, will buy it"

See Niisama, this is how a proper Niisan should be. Giving a mature and sexy aura. Hm I seem to sense a dark aura behind me.

"Cecile, stay away from this guy"

Oh, is just brother being jealous of Lukas. Their relationship sure is good.

Lets go back to business.

"So did you chose the room you want to?"

"We want the private room, where do I pay for the membership?"

I knew you were my golden turtle Prince!

"Let me first guide to your room, we current have 3 available, they have the same design so do you want to choose or can be a random one?"

"Random"

"All right follow me"

Room 3. As I opened the door an elegant room decorated with blue, green and silver details appeared. The room was big as some houses at my previous life. It had 3 bookcases, 4 large couches and a mahogany table that could fit 8 people.

Seeing the room one more time I patted myself in the back and compliment me for the good job.

"If you could please sit down. Here are the menus with the teas and appetizers we offer. Do you perhaps would like to change you suits and shoes for a robe and slippers? As you all are platinum members the robes and slippers are all exclusive to you and you can personalize as you want. They will have your name embroidered so that our staff can identify as yours."

"Yes, bring for all of us"

Can you really choose for everyone in the room Your Highness? But no one complained, so it must be so.

"Bring them the robes and slippers please"

"You can ask any doubt you have about the menu for our staff, they will help you choose one. But if you want I can recommend to you the ones I think will suit better your taste"

"Bunny-Chan just bring us the things you want"

Lukas you are truly a god send helper.

"If you say so"

I will rob every penny that I can muahaha.

After being reincarnated into a world of otome game as a villainess character, I fell in the routine situation of death flags+broke engagement.

The prince doesn’t want me? Please, who will want a Scum Prince as a husband? I don’t. Let’s break this engagement and with my knowledge from the previous life, I will aim for a peaceful life!

*****

Arteria--or rather Arty as her nickname is--was glad to have Emyrie around, even though she's a little kid, to help her out into reading more knowledge from the books that are in the library.

She was almost halfway finished reading another book with Emyrie who decided to read along, thinking that this is fun when the adults came to look for them and had found them in the library room.

Arty and Emyrie looked up and instantly the little magic girl stood and ran to her mother, gleefully telling her that she and her new friend Arty were having fun reading books.

Arty didn't speak a word as she watched them a bit cautiously but had a childish smile on her face to play along as Emyrie babbled on to the adults.

Then the elderly couple turned to Arty and smiled down at her as the old man said, "I'm glad that you and Emyrie are getting along well. But Arty, don't forget that you're coming with me and your grandmother to the town to buy more food there."

"Okay, grandpa!" Arty smiled more and said in a childish piping voice like she's excited to go.

'So the elderly couple are Arteria's grandparents, huh?' Arty and former writer Elaina thought deeply in her head as she went up to change her clothes into outdoor type ones. 'Good to know, at least. Now I need to figure out who Emyrie's mother is. I'm sure she seemed a bit familiar to me but I can't seem to recall who she is, despite that Emyrie is the main character's best friend and partner in the story.'

Fortunately, her luck became good when Emyrie demanded that she wanted to go to, despite that her mother seemed to protest against it and tried to calm her daughter into not going.

Arty became amused when she saw Emyrie begging her mother that she wanted to go, and it was until she brought out the crocodile tears that Emyrie's mother finally relented into letting her go.

Emyrie became instantly cheerful and was about to go and change her clothes when her mother did it for her with a quick snap of magic from her fingers.

Arty watched in wonder and awe as a magical swirling mist surrounded Emyrie and changed her clothes magically into outdoor ones. She wondered about the kind of magic in the world of her story can do.

She remembered that she did write in the story notes before in the real world that the magic in the world of Eden is different and amazing beyond any magic she has seen, heard or read about it.

Arty will have to see what sorts of magic that are in the world of Eden when she gets out and goes into town later, along with the companions coming along.

It didn't take long for them to walk and go into town and Arty and her company were just entering through the town's gates before she realized that there were so many people, both human and non-human alike milling about, either working or shopping or something else.

Arty looked around again in wonder as they are now in the middle of the town square where there is a market-place for all people to shop and buy food and other things.

She can see that not only humans are there, but there are also non-human types, like elves, beast-people, and dwarves passing through and coming about and around the town.

While Arty's grandparents and Emyrie's mother were busy buying what they needed with the two kids helping out, Arty made sure that she becomes super aware of everything, hearing and seeing whatever she could to obtain and gain knowledge about the Eden world around her.

Though she wanted to know more and figure out who Emyrie's mother is, it's also important to know something else and more about everything that has been going on or what's happening.

And it worked for Arty managed to hear while she's helping her grandparents to buy some fruits and vegetables, from a discreet soft conversation being exchanged between a group of elves and some beast-people that were with them.

"It's getting worse. The Mad King sent out more troops to attack and invade another one of the villages somewhere in the north border of Baseat," said one of the beast-people who appeared to be half-wolf and half-human, with a wolf's head, claws, and furry body.

An elf male nodded as if he is the friend of the wolf-man as he replied, "I agree. My people have also caught scouts that were roaming around by the borders of Evelan and found them to be sent from that Mad King."

"I still don't understand why the king is so obsessed in trying to find the chosen one of the Fiery Blade," said another elf, this one is a female. "It's almost been a hundred years since the last chosen of the magic blade has died."

A half-bird and half-human woman snorted with her bird head clicking its beak as she said, "And that's why he's called the 'Mad King'. That man has gotten crazier ever since he ascended into the throne and ruled Alanova Capital. It also didn't help that he somehow found out knowledge about the Fiery Blade and its chosen wielders, and gotten into his sick head that he has a right to wield the blade as his own and sent out his men to find the new wielder, kill him/her, and obtain it."

The wolf-man shook his head. "The king doesn't realize that it's not the wielder who chooses the blade--but it is the magic blade itself that chooses the wielder. I hope that whoever the new chosen one is, he or she is somewhere safe and out of the king's reach."

"I agree, my friend. Now let's disperse before our conversation might be heard by some unsavory ears," said the elf man cautiously, looking around as if to make sure that nobody else is listening.

When there was nothing, except Arty who was the only one who had eavesdropped discreetly at their conversation, the group separated and went off in different ways as if their discussion didn't happen and they went to go to whatever they're doing.

Arty had remembered about the main villain she had cast and written into the story about the 'Mad King'.

After realizing that her story seemed to be developing on its own or something similar as she had written it, despite that she wasn't finished completing the story, Arty discovers that as the main character she has to play it out which she thinks that doing this is the key to finding her way back home in the real world.

But she had to wonder how she will be able to do this while preventing herself from finishing the story without dying.

Sometimes, she had wished that she didn't write in the ending that the heroine would sacrifice herself to kill off the lead villain and die at the end of her story.

She regretted trying to create her story to be exciting for the people who will read her story.

It looks like that she'll have to somehow deal with the developments and make plans so that she'll be able to go through the plot of her story and somehow survive when she finds out and discovers the way into going back home to the modern real world.

***

I slowly open the other boxes and scan for more artifacts. In a small cupboard, I found a tomb and a pendent. I recognize it. 

Malinda had been looking it since it had been stolen from her in the 80s. But she wasn't getting it back just yet. The price still wasn't right as there wasn't a need for protection.

Transport was easy, all I had to do was wave my magic won and the items would be sent to the vault. Spell with specific destinations were always easier.  

My next stop however required a bit more maneuvering. The location was another auction that was an hour drive away from here. It was a normal auction that I heard Cat had been visiting after she bid at red, it was within flying distance. Anything good Cat got, I will try to get it before her. So she wouldn't be as successful in this life.

I turn the corner to the bathroom and took out a small mirror. It was an artifact that allow one to teleport to another opening within a small distant of a few miles. 

It took me sixteen hops to get to my destination but I was there in time. It was two in the afternoon and the sun was out. 

This time, the auctioneer was a woman and actually spoke at a normal speed: "Very well everybody, let's all line up. There's a total of nine units being auctioned this time, rules are the same no touch before, no entering!"

The first few where smaller units, so the bids were cheap. The first unit was 40$ and the second was 60$.  The third storage unit sold for 100 dollars, and the excitement was waning as time went on.
Lots of people where shaking their heads as they look at the forth unit, it was empty except for a few books in a box.

I scan the unit and felt the bug in my finger swish. I knew that I was going to bid. The beetle slowly open it wings and move close to a book, it would seem that there was treasure here.

The auctioneer knew this as well, so she raised her hand and began. "We'll now auction off unit 58; let's say 50 dollars?"

The other people all shook their heads.

Seeing this, the auctioneer shouted, "Ten dollars anyone? How about ten dollars?"

At this, there was still no one, so the auctioneer raised her finger and said, "This is the last time—how about one dollar!"

It seemed to be a free unit, but no treasure hunter was that stupid. Despite nearly guaranteeing a 100 percent chance of profit, the fact remained that it still had no worth. Books were heavy and hard to sell. For Most one dollar unit, you were practically paying to be the cleaning lady. 

"Me!"

"Very well. This young lady bid one dollar won unit 78. Let's move to the next unit." the auctioneer announced.

The bidding went along rather smoothly until the outdoor units were auction when Cat show up. I knew I had to get the biggest unit of the day, the unit she was going to win and find treasure.

A simple rebirth story. Finding love. Righting wrongs.

"Wang Xian is different from other people!" Old Xue exclaimed as he looked at Wang Xian. He listened to what everyone was saying around him and felt lucky that he managed to befriend someone who valued friendship.
Old Xue knew that he was crippled by the Yan Family because of Wang Xian. Wang Xian would surely keep this in mind. From now on, the Xue Family would have a more comfortable life in Rivertown.
No one dared to mess around with them.
"Indeed. If it were the Yan Family or other families, they would get us to cough out enough interest even if they didn't rule over us."
The family head of the Ren Family looked at Old Xue and joked, "If Old Xue needs any help, you can look for me, Ren Tianhong. Since the Xue Family has such a connection with strong backing, we must have more bonding."
"Haha, the Xue Family is lucky only."
When Old Xue heard him, he chuckled and made some polite remarks. He knew that the Ren Family Head might sound like he was joking, but it was from the bottom of his heart too.
"Old Xue, you're fortunate!"
"Yes, Old Xue. Let's find a time for a martial arts sharing session."
All the Martial Artists and the families spoke to Old Xue fervently.
Given the Xue Family and that Dragon King's status now, it was worth associating with them.
Even though that young Dragon King did not rule the Martial Art circle in Rivertown, the Dragon Sect had shown their capabilities and that none of them could be matched.
Besides, they admired the Dragon King from their hearts.
At least Rivertown would stay peaceful with him around. A situation like what happened in the Yan Family would not happen again.
It's all because of the Dragon King!
They had the most heartfelt respect for him.
"The Dragon King said he opened a medical hall at the old street. Shall we pay him a visit?"
"Yes, we should. We can go over with some gifts. But there can't be too many of us. The Dragon King might find us irritating."
"Why don't we gather the gifts and get Old Xue or Old Duan or Ren Family Head to send them over?"
"This is feasible. We can prepare a huge gift as a token of appreciation under the name of all Martial Artists and families for the Dragon King. Today, the Dragon King did us a huge favor!"
"That's right!"
All the Martial Artists of Rivertown agreed.
Sometimes, that was the case. If they were being oppressed, they would put up resistance and even retaliate.
But when help was rendered to them, they would be genuinely grateful and respectful.
Wang Xian may not have gotten them to submit to him, but they would obey any orders from Wang Xian immediately!
This was the impact of a powerful and generous man.
Wang Xian, walking on the road, did not know his unintentional act had impacted the Martial Artists and the families in Rivertown.
Wang Xian had never thought of asking them to submit to him. Not that he never thought of it, but rather, he was not interested in them.
The highest level they had was Level-nine Martial Artists. With only one or two such people, what could they do?
Too weak. They were so weak that Wang Xian had no intention to keep them for his use.
At the same time, it was not necessary to get them to surrender some of their interests like how the Yan Family had. Wang Xian disdained such intimidating practices.
As a Divine Dragon that would roam the nine skies in the future, he must have class.
He could earn money by himself, or even fish from the sea. But obtaining them through such methods? He would not stoop to it.
Wang Xian was only concerned about his future businesses of the medical hall. After tonight, he believed any Martial Artist who was injured would look for him in the future.
This could help to drive more business and make more money.
Wang Xian loved the feeling of making money by himself.
When he was back in school, it was already 9.30 pm. Wang Xian quickly headed to the Eastern Hill.
It still was not too late. He ran over with a smiling face as soon as he spotted a spark of fire lit on the Eastern Hill.
"Xiao Xian, you reached it. Have you settled all your things?"
Guan Shuqing asked smilingly, as though she was waiting for her husband to return.
"Yes, I'm here. Is the food ready?"
After he settled the Yan Family, Wang Xian was in a chirpy mood. He squatted down and rubbed his palms while looking at the food in the cooking pot. 
"It's almost done. Hehe. It still feels more comfortable to be able to cook our own food here. The atmosphere is better here compared to eating in the First-grade Restaurant."
Guan Shuqing removed the lid as she smiled, blowing the steam away.
"Really? Then we shall have all our meals here!" Wang Xian said with a smile.
"Sure!" Guan Shuqing happily nodded her head and sat closer to Wang Xian.
Wang Xian gently placed his arm over her as he smiled.
Guan Shuqing was stunned for a moment with her cheeks flushed with redness. But darkness helped to conceal her blushing face.
"It's done. Here, Xiao Xian. Let's dig in!" Guan Shuqing took the lid away happily.
"Great, I will help you with the shells!" Wang Xian smiled and nodded his head.
Eastern Hill, outdoor picnic... It was cozy and relaxed.
No one would have thought that the dominating King from just now would be having an outdoor picnic, eating seafood with a girl.
The relationship between Guan Shuqing and Wang Xian had finally been confirmed, except for not having their nuptial chamber. Wang Xian was pondering when he could proceed to the next step.
Heh heh!
The next morning, Wang Xian went to the medical hall as soon as he woke up.
He opened the door and placed the signage with the rules at the entrance.
Wang Xian made himself tea and took out the gifts sent from Old Xue and Old Qin the other time.
Old Qin gave him a box of hundred-years-old ginseng. A very precious one.
On the other hand, Old Xue gave him a secret medical manual. Wang Xian was feeling bored, so he began to read the manual.
This manual was obviously written by a doctor who practiced Ancient Martial Arts. The book recorded many case studies and treatment methods.
Wang Xian did not know the treatment methods. He treated people using his mighty Dragon Energy and the vitality of the Wood attribute.
Of course, there were pros and cons to this.
Reading some of these medical books would benefit him when he treated others in the future.
The September sun continued to shine. Wang Xian lay on the deck chair in the room with a smiling face. He sipped his tea and read his books, enjoying a relaxing afternoon.
Whoo-hoo-hoo!
Just then, the ambulance siren echoed through the road on the old street.
Wang Xian paused and put down his teacup slowly before he went outside to have a look.
"Doctor! Where's the doctor?!"
At the same time, two men barged in and raised their voices inside.
Wang Xian knit his eyebrow slightly. "There's no doctor here. If you have a patient, you can carry him to one of the chairs in the room."
"Fuc*! What kind of fuc*ing medical hall is this? The doctor recommended we go here. If they delayed my dad's treatment, I'll fuc*ing kill them all!"
The middle-aged was very nasty with his words. He shouted outside, "Doctor, are you sure this is the place for treatment?"
"Yes, this is the place. Hurry! Bring the patient in!" Doctor Sun was not surprised by the poor attitude of the patient's family member.
With a large number of patients in the hospital, they'd met all kinds of weirdo family members before!


Transform into Divine Dragon and dominate the world!
He is the only Divine Dragon in the sea who founded an underwater Dragon Palace. 
With Crawfish Soldiers and Crab Generals as his followers, wild sharks and gigantic octopuses as his subordinates, he is the dragon that rules the city.


The world still did not know Zhang Ye well enough.
At least, they did not know him as well as they thought they did.
To them, Zhang Ye was a Nobel Prize winner, an author, and a movie director. They might also know that he was the current number one hacker in the world. But other than that, they didn't really have a deeper understanding of him. After all, Zhang Ye's status in the international scene still hadn't reached the stage where the entire world was obsessed with his every move. As such, when they heard that Zhang Ye was actually thinking of moving into the field of television, the people of the various countries all found it laughable. They thought that Zhang Ye was a total amateur and layman. But on this day, after getting slapped in the face by the Chinese netizens, countless foreigners shockingly discovered many facts that they didn't know.
He was the one who invented the talk show!
Their countries' television stations had actually been paying copyright fees to Zhang Ye all this while!
Not only that, Zhang Ye also did many other things as well!
Documentaries.
Educational programs.
Variety shows.
Television series.
Television actor.
Program planning.
Skit actor.
Crosstalk comedian.
Host.
Television guest and coach.
Even the world's largest program, the Spring Festival Gala, had been directed by him as well!
As long as there was anything related to television, and as long as it could be shown on television, Zhang Ye had done them all! If they had to find the most professional and most legendary television personality in China, if they had to find the number one person in the television industry, then that person would definitely be Zhang Ye. There would be no other choice!
At this moment, the entire world finally found out that Zhang Ye was the most professional television personality in China. So he didn't start off by writing novels, nor did he come through by making movies. Instead, he had majored in broadcasting in university. That was the field that he was most proficient at!
The number one television personality in China!
It would be his first time creating an international television show!
Could a miracle be about to happen again?
At this moment, no one knew. They would have to wait until the show was broadcast!
… 
In the morning.
Back at home.
Zhang Ye's parents came to pick up his daughter.
Zhang Ye said with an embarrassed smile, "Dad, Mom, I'll have to trouble you two again for a while. This bro will be getting busy again and won't have time for other things."
His father said, "It's fine."
His mother gave him a stare and said, "What's fine? You've only rested for how long after shooting the movie? Besides, why did you go back to making TV shows? How many years has it been since you've made a TV show?"
Zhang Ye laughed and said, "That's why I'm doing it again."
His father asked, "Everyone's discussing it on the Internet. So what kind of show is it?"
Zhang Ye laughed. "I'll be keeping it a secret for now."
His mother said, "Is it an international show?"
"That's right." Zhang Ye nodded.
His mother said suspiciously, "Are you sure you can do it? You better not fool around and come up with something lousy."
Zhang Ye laughed. "If I can't do it, then no one else can."
His mother said, "When are you going to start filming it?"
Zhang Ye said, "Once Central TV has finished their arrangements. It should be soon."
The equipment.
The personnel.
Travel visas.
Funding.
There was a lot of preparation work to handle.
Zhang Ye had only needed to set up the film crew, and he was already pretty much done. The rest of the work that would be handled by Central TV International were tasks like chartering a plane, renting boats, coordinating for the entry of the crew to various countries, and so on. Zhang Ye couldn't handle all that, so he had to leave it to them. Zhang Ye had his own matters to deal with. During the preparation period, he urgently needed to fix any flaws with the show.
The selling point of the show was not as simple as just having a few skills to survive in the wilderness. The relevant knowledge, the ways to survive, the methods to make camp, what could be eaten, what could not be eaten, how to build a boat, how to escape danger, etc., all of these were skills that Zhang Ye did not possess. If he were to shoot the show in his current state, it would definitely not work. Therefore, there was still a lot of preparation work that he needed to do. He had to transform from a layman who knew nothing into an all-around survival specialist with knowledge of everything!
And so, his wife was currently helping him shop for books online.
Old Wu asked, "The Wilderness Camping Manual, is this fine?"
Zhang Ye replied, "Yeah, buy it."
"Ten Ways to Identify Time in the Outdoors?"
"Buy it."
"A Detailed Description of Animal Species?"
"Buy it."
"Fire Starting with the Hand Drill Method?"
"Buy them all."
His mother was dumbfounded. "Rascal, are you thinking of setting up a library?"
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "That's not even a lot of books."
His father said, "Will you be able to read them all?"
"Of course," Zhang Ye said.
During the day.
The books were delivered.
100 books.
200 books.
300 books.
The entire living room was almost filled to the brim with books.
Some of the books covered outdoor experiences, some covered scientific knowledge, and some were introductions to flora and fauna. There were Chinese books and English ones as well. These books covered nearly all of the knowledge on how to survive in the wilderness around the world. There were even medical books that taught about how to give treatment for external injuries. For others, wanting to gain experience in a short period of time from books was not too practical a method. But doing this was not difficult for Zhang Ye. This was because he could use the game ring's Memory Search Capsule to quickly assimilate this knowledge into his mind, which would then become a part of him. As long as it was written in the books, as long as the information was available online, he could learn them all.
If a 100 books weren't enough, he would read a 1,000 books.
If a 1,000 books weren't enough, he would read 2,000.
In just a short duration, Zhang Ye had speedily absorbed the knowledge and gained experience. He learned so much that he even believed that no other survival specialist in the world knew more knowledge than him. And neither would any specialists from his previous world. In his previous world, on many of such survival shows, most of the survival specialists only looked like they knew a lot. In actual fact, they had a professional team supporting them from behind. There were botanists, zoologists, and medical experts too. It was those people who supported and channeled their knowledge through the host from behind the cameras.
But Zhang Ye didn't need such a team. He could do it all by himself.
Of course, the things that involved mobility and operational skills were too difficult to learn by just reading about them in books. After all, without actual practice, there would be no accumulation of experience. This was different from looking at a plant and being able to name it. Hence, Zhang Ye opened up the game ring with the idea of getting some items from it.
The virtual screen popped up. His total Reputation Points was at a terrifying figure. He had not used it in such a long time, and he had accumulated a lot of Reputation Points. Naturally, Zhang Ye did not feel the pinch anymore. This was something that would directly affect his new show, which was a very important step in his plans to go international. As such, he definitely could not be stingy. He activated the Lucky Halo (Ultra) and picked Lottery Draw (Three). It was finally time to try his luck, so Zhang Ye held his breath in anticipation.
He opened the golden Treasure Chests (Large) one by one.
[Skydiving Skill] × 56
[Knife Skills] × 100
[Fruit of Agility] × 33
[Diving Skill] × 128
[Surgical Technique] × 66
And so on.
There was an assortment of items.
In the space of a night, Zhang Ye had turned into a wilderness survival specialist like he was on steroids. He couldn't be more awesome than this!
