Promising to e to a meeting of the Shameless Sect that was scheduled that night, Daneel shooed the fatty off before picking up the technique book again.
Indeed, it was a very interesting concept to use a stance to output more power, but Daneel realized that his own fighting style of using the Hidden Kill Fist as a foundation was too familiar to him.
He had no idea whether changing Fighting technique would have any effects on his overall power output, so he decided to try it after piling everything in the library.
The ideal thing to do would be to collect everything at once, but Daneel decided to act tactfully.
After all, it would be strange for anyone to run their fingers on all the books, no matter how much they tried to make it look like a quirk.
With no intention to court disaster, he partitioned the library into 8 zones, with each floor divided into 4 zones. It was a very large library, so this was necessary.
Each day, he would be able to cover one zone.
However, Daneel noticed a problem.
If he had to visit the library 8 times, he would have to give up an entire Ker Gem as fee!
As someone who had grown up from a frugal background, Daneel was loth to waste money. Even that experiment with the Ker Gem before had really hurt his heart.
No. There was no way that he could allow this farce of collecting fee, at least from him, to continue.
There were only two ways to get out of paying such fee: One, have a high enough social standing either using background or personal power.
Two, have a side business whose services can be exchanged.
The former was not possible right now, as a sudden growth in power from Travis ??clair would definitely result in scrutiny from higher-ups.
So, the latter was the only option.
Deciding on it, Daneel took his time and covered the first zone on the second floor, which had many techniques.
Sadly, he did realize one thing: in the entire library, there were very few history books which pertained to that mythical time when the Sect of Hedon had seemingly ruled over the continent.
Either the information was lost, or it was hidden to all but the higher echelons.
Daneel had been really looking forward to finding some clues regarding the connections and similarities between the kingdoms in the Central Continent right away, but it seemed like he would have to wait.
Nevertheless, the King of Lanthanor smiled to himself, as his opportunities felt almost limitless here.
Corruption was truly something that he had seen a lot of back on Earth, so he felt like a fish in water in this place. Even though he abhorred it, he had to admit that he had a flair in getting ideas to carry it out, probably because his mind had been constricted all this while, only being able to think of 'good' solutions and ideas for the most part.
Hence, looking forward to the meeting, Daneel spent his time taking out random books or touching them in one way or the other so as to feed their information to the system.
….
A few hours later.
As Daneel finally exited the library, he found that he was famished.
Their meeting was two hours from now, so he had enough time to eat and explore a bit more.
While heading to the cafeteria of the sect, Daneel asked the system, "Let me know if any important data is collected."
A while back, he had already sat down with the system and clearly tagged all matters that he deemed "important
