Chapter 1985: The Long-Awaited Opportunity ⏳

“Oh?” Everyone was surprised, and the Fourth Manager chuckled, “Second Brother, you guessed right. He did go to the manufacturing district. However, your reasoning is not sufficient. After all, perhaps what's most important for him now is to find a cultivation method suited to him. The Star-Eye Clan doesn’t have anything that fits his battle style.”

Everyone looked at the Fourth Manager. It was clear that he was not the indifferent person that the Second Manager had described earlier.

“Do you know? This rookie should have been an agent for the Tarros Red Dwarf before.”

Several people turned to the Second Manager. If this was true, then it would be quite interesting.

“You all know that the temper of those dwarves is the opposite of their boisterous appearance. Whatever the reason, would they be willing to accept that someone who was originally their agent came here using a Star-Eye Clan entry ticket? I heard that there were dwarves who took action in the novice battlefield, but unfortunately, they couldn’t kill anyone and ended up getting taken care of themselves.”

“So, this person would want to find some manufacturing techniques from the Tarros Red Dwarfs and quietly develop, ready to strike back at them?”

When the Fourth Manager spoke these words, his eyes shone brightly. Life as a Book Keeper was too boring; apart from cultivation and reading, they had no other leisure activities. Without permission, they could only move within the confines of the Library Palace.

The spear-bearer was responsible for bringing Ye Zhongming over. This annual welcoming job was always fiercely competed for, as everyone wanted to take the opportunity to wander around Starshine City.

After arriving, Ye Zhongming saw the spear-bearer seemingly quietly reading a book, but in reality, he had come out a day early and had already been wandering around Starshine City for a long time.

As for why he chose to walk for an hour to the Library Palace instead of taking a vehicle, the answer was also clear here.

“I don’t know what this newbie will do in the future, but if he really went to the manufacturing district, it’s obvious that he hopes to continue improving in manufacturing. Once his skills make a leap forward, I think the conflict between him and the Tarros Red Dwarfs will become even more inevitable.”

At this moment, the Second Manager’s eyes were shining just like the Fourth Manager’s, as if he was very interested in something that might happen many years later.

Perhaps this way, they could look forward to many years, and during those years, life would become less boring whenever they unexpectedly thought of this matter.

“You’ve got me very interested in this newbie. I want to observe him. Is anyone going with me?”

“I will go with you.”

“I’ll go too!”

The Third and Fourth Managers echoed the words of the First Manager. The three of them greeted the Second Manager, as staying here to watch those practicing the tranquil rest technique was simply too boring.

Ye Zhongming felt a bright light before him as he entered a grand hall of a mining area.

He looked around but didn’t encounter anyone or see any books.

Just as he was puzzled about what to do, someone suddenly turned from a small door on the other side, carrying a bucket of water and a cloth draped over his shoulder.

Another three-legged person!

It seemed that three-legged people were indeed the main racial composition of the Library Palace.

“You are… the first of the newbies?” This person was also surprised and initially wanted to ask who he was but quickly guessed Ye Zhongming’s identity.

“Yes, this is the manufacturing district, right? But I can’t find any books. Who should I ask for information? Please let me know.”

Ye Zhongming said politely.

Although the person opposite him did not have any aura of a master and appeared to be an ordinary person responsible for logistics and cleaning, he didn’t show any signs of disdain.
