Editor and Proof Reader: Alterious, Dervish
For the next 3 days, Fu Yan supervised Qing in identifying which videos and data were important, and what should be sorted in the highly important categories.
He knew that if he were to rely on himself to sort out the videos, he might not even be able to completely review them in 2 months, but Qing could do it in 3 to 4 days max, including the gathering of the material on the targets, which were the whole Wen family, then analyze them, sorting them out for Fu Yan to review making this much more efficient.
He had decided to ruin this Wen family and for this, he needed sothing that he could use against them, and that sothing could only be obtained from the Wen family itself.
He firmly believed that like he had seen in scandals, and also movies, the Wen family would surely have so skeletons hiding in their closet. As for the records of them bribing the local official, he wasn't completely sure about it, but who knows, he might be able to get sothing worthwhile after all. Even if he was not able to find anything, he still planned on killing Ye Wen.
After training Qing, Fu Yan relaxed.
Now he only needed to wait and see the results. He leaned back on the chair and stretched his arms.
"Ahh too tired. I should get so proper sleep now." He thought while rubbing his sore neck.
When he was about to go to the bedroom, the tattoo on his left hand suddenly gave a warm feeling as if soone was calling him to the Library.
Fu Yan was surprised by this, as this was the first ti he had gotten this feeling. Though surprised, he swiped on the tattoo and suddenly he appeared in the Great Hall of the Library.
He was behind the Librarian desk and in front of him was standing a creature, which was purple and white color in tone.
It had four spider-like legs which started white and then turned purple as they went down. Its body was like made of stones but also not , Fu Yan could not tell without touching it. The creature had an oval-shaped face with purple hair on top, and from its back, tentacles could be seen, which were dark purple in color, which swayed back and forth as if they had a mind of their own. At the end of each tentacle, an egg-shaped object could be seen, which had an eerie glow to it.
The alien creature looked at Fu Yan and opened his mouth.
" , ' ."
Fu Yan shook his head and almost shouted out. "Whatttttt?" but he controlled himself and started to run his brain. Suddenly he rembered sothing and took out a device from the lower cabinet of his Librarian desk and placed it in his pocket.
This device looked similar to the pen that Fu Yan had taken out on planet "Pheonon." Aside from being a weapon, it also worked as a translator, and with it, it beca possible for Fu Yan to communicate with anyone, without a language barrier.
After putting the device in his pocket, Fu Yan looked at the creature again and said.
"Sorry for the inconvenience. How may I help you."
The reason he spoke in a humble and sweet tone was because he rembered the advice old Shun gave him while training him.
"Though you are powerful and everything in Library obeys you but we need to adopt a humble attitude in front of our custors, as they are our assets and the more humble we are the more pleased they will be. And as a result, will help us lend them more books. The more books we lend, the more profit we get. Of course, if soone is being unreasonable then we show them who we are and kick them out of the Library. You can give them so lighter punishnt, but it all will really depend on you. There are no rules for that, and the Librarian's words are all that matter."
The creature looked at Fu Yan with his six spider-like eyes and said.
"I would like to borrow this book. I want to know what I have to pay to get this book." He pointed at the book that he had placed on the table earlier and then looked at Fu Yan to get the answer.
Fu Yan took the book and stood up from his chair. He walked towards a transparent glass cabinet, which was not a cabinet, but a machine and placed the book inside.
A transparent screen ca up and words started to appear on it.
]Book detected.
]Analyzing
]dium knowledge book about Bionic Mine Controller Engine
]Category C
]Price dium knowledge book, or 14% of the energy of a category C planet
Fu Yan took the book back and sat down on the chair. He placed the book back on the table and looked up towards the spider creature.
"This is category C book, and to borrow it you will need to provide either another category C book or 14% of the planetary energy of a category C planet. Which option are you going to pick?"
The tentacle on the creature started to sway left and right and after thinking a bit, he asked.
"Can't the price be any lower? I really need to get technology back to my planet as we found a new Sassbsite mining planet, and we are having difficulty mining it. I only hold category D or lower-level planets. I don't have a C level book or a planet."
Fu Yan did not know anything about this mineral, but hearing this creature saying it with this much concern, he understood that it might be a really important mineral. He looked at the creature and waved his hand. The silver Library badge flew out of this creature's head and landed in Fu Yan's hand.
The mont this badge landed in Fu Yan's hand, information appeared in his head about the badge holder.
This spider-like creature's na is Xic and he belongs to the "Kud" species. They originate from the "Carina" galaxy. He was a regular custor and had borrowed a total of 4 books from the Library so far. Looking at the information, Fu Yan sighed and said.
"Mister Xic, since you are a regular custor then you know that it's impossible for us to lower at the price as we follow the rule of equal exchange, but considering that you borrow books regularly from us then I am will bend the rules a bit and allow you to exchange the D level planet energy, however, it will be multiplied by a factor of 3, and has to be paid upfront. Also instead of keeping this book for 40 years, I will allow you an extra 10 years. This is all I can do for you within my authority. So what do you think? Is it a deal?"
Xic imdiately nodded and replied.
"Ok, I accept it. It's a good deal. Thank you for your kindness. With this Sassbsite mine, we will be able to earn a lot. I will surely co back when I have bought one or two new planets."
Fu Yan smiled and said.
"Well, I am glad that you liked it. So would you like to make the paynt now?"
Xic nodded and replied.
"Yes, you can co and collect the energy anyti you want."
Fu Yan nodded and said.
"Very well then. I will send a collector with you to get the energy and the mont energy is collected, the book will be transported to you."
After saying that he placed the badge in a tal container and started to make an entry for the book in the system.
The mont he was done, white light glowed in the container and it opened. Fu Yan took the badge and gave it Xic. The mont Xic touched it, it turned into a white light and went inside Xic's head.
"Alright Mister Xic, everything is settled. I will call the collector who will go with you now." Fu Yan said and then placed his hand on a small white screen which turned to green after a second.
After a while, a white door opened behind the Librarian's desk and a figure walked out of it.
This figure was all covered in tal which was black, the color making it look spooky and dreadful. Its head was bean-shaped and had a red light spot in the middle of it. One of its hands looked like a barrel that had a pipe sticking to it which was connected to the container on its back.
Fu Yan looked at it with interest but decided to do a brief analysis later as there was a custor here at this mont, and he needed to maintain his image as a Librarian.
He looked at the robot and then turned towards the system to complete the procedure. He opened the entry that he had made about Xic and clicked on the paynt which had the status of pending paynt.
