Chapter 742: I Can't Think of Why...

And the reason she was in such a hurry was because she was afraid that after the Will of the World disappeared, this massive magic shield would also disappear with it.

So before that happened, she had to at least first make rubbings of the various runes and arrangements of the magic array.

This way, it would be convenient to continue researching it even after it disappeared in the future.

After all, no one knew what would happen in the future, so preparing early was always a good thing.

As for why Esmeralda would help the Will of the World of Karim do this, it was no longer important.

At least for Lan Qingyou at this moment, it wasn't important.

Because the important things had already been unraveled through this 'Q&A game'.

Satisfying her curiosity was enough.

The rest of the matters could wait until later.

"Can I ask a question?"

At this time, Olf raised his hand, displaying politeness completely inconsistent with his rough Nordic appearance.

It was just unknown whether this could be considered the calm before the storm.

"What question?"

"The treasure chests, the supplies inside, the shelters, and such that you mentioned, were those all completed by you alone?"

"Otherwise, did you think a Will of the World so weak it's about to dissipate would have enough energy to let someone travel back and forth between Karim and Blue Star?"

"..."

Come to think of it.

Even though everyone was angry, but after learning things had reached this point, they somehow couldn't muster their anger.

Even if the Esmeralda in front of them had caused them incalculable losses.

"Sigh..."

Being asked this question by Olf, Esmeralda let out a lonely sigh.

"Besides that, those basic books were all ones I found printing factories to print. Sometimes I even had to find someone to do the typesetting. The most unbearable part was that I had to translate these books one by one myself."

"Do you understand how I felt during those times?"

"In those silent nights, I translated books all by myself, and this kind of thing continued for a full two years."

...Books...

Speaking of this matter, everyone present couldn't help but shudder inwardly.

After all, they had all bought books from The Library.

Whether it was the initially hand-copied ones or the later machine-printed ones, they had bought them.

Even Lan Qingyou, who wasn't sensitive to this aspect, had subordinates who bought them.

And in large quantities too.

So when Esmeralda complained about this aspect, no one spoke up.

Mainly because they didn't know what to say.

No wonder The Library organization had to be established later.

So this was the root cause.

Since suffering was inevitable, she couldn't just let herself be the only one suffering.

Besides copying books, there was also printing and publishing. It could be said that she had completely cornered this field.

"Why not just print all those basic books at printing factories on Blue Star? You shouldn't have been short on money."

Gu Xiaobei's naive question almost made the guys around her burst out laughing.

Why was it naive?

Because since Esmeralda was putting on a show to this extent, it was impossible for her to do such a thing.

After all, everything she did previously was so that the transmigrators could integrate into this world more smoothly after arriving.

So she absolutely wouldn't do that.

Although doing so would indeed be much more convenient.

But she couldn't.

At the very least, she couldn't make it so that everyone had a set.

The reason was also very simple: just simply going all the way with the act.

Because there weren't enough basic books, people were needed to copy books, thereby generating a commercial chain.

This was the complete manifestation of a world.

"No, exactly when did you take on this job? To be able to do it alone until now is simply a miracle."

Esmeralda's methods made Olf lose all his explosive temper.

For no other reason than that the things this guy did had completely exceeded the scope of his understanding.

One person doing the job of receiving twenty billion people.

And the key was that she actually succeeded.

So, Olf called it a 'miracle'.

Because there was nothing wrong with that description.

"A miracle is indeed a miracle, but compared to this, I'm actually more curious about exactly how many years you spent doing these things."

Lan Qingyou looked at Esmeralda, who seemed much more relaxed after speaking out.

And Lan Qingyou's sentence also made Esmeralda fall directly into reminiscence.

"That was the year I was eighteen..."

"Wait!"

Just as Esmeralda was about to open the door to her memories, Vivian directly reached out and stopped her.

"What's wrong?"

"Can I ask how old you are now?"

"No, a woman's age is a secret. Anyway, my first contact with the Will of the World of the Karim Continent was when I was eighteen, just remember this."

Very clearly, Esmeralda didn't want to give everyone the chance to reverse-engineer her years of service.

After all, she had already voiced out the hardships of all these years.

Or rather, vented them out.

So for the rest, she would just continue to play dumb. Anyway, there wasn't much difference whether some things were said or not.

Even, because the people in front of her were all smart people, she instead developed a mischievous desire to tease these guys.

After lurking for so long previously, now that things were out in the open and she was relaxed, how could she not have a good time playing around?

Look.

Because of a single sentence of hers, these smart people were scratching their heads in anxiety.

It was a very joyful sight.

"To be honest, if the gold of this world couldn't be taken out and sold casually, I would have quit long ago."

Thus, she added a somewhat humblebragging sentence.

With the gold of an entire world at your disposal, whether it's buying things, doing other matters, or even distributing these items, you shouldn't have needed to do it personally.

This was somewhat enviable.

After all, who doesn't like being a hands-off boss.

Throwing out large amounts of gold to exchange for banknotes, and then using these banknotes to buy supplies and hire employees.

While you yourself go busy with other things.

It could be said that everyone could now see a scene in front of their eyes where a group of people were randomly putting various supplies into the manufactured shackles treasure chests.

That would just be... really nice.

"Fortune, there's something I feel is a bit strange."

After a wave of envy, Lan Qingyou suddenly thought of a question.

"What?"

Towards this guy Lan Qingyou, Esmeralda still couldn't let her guard down.

Even though she had already been exposed and had said what she needed to say.

Who the hell knows what kind of things this guy with abnormal brain circuitry would think of.

"To be honest, in my opinion, everything you did before was extremely perfect, even using the Will of the World's functions to conceal some of your own information."

"But why is an existence like this in such a hurry this time?"

"Earlier you said you shouldn't have forcefully used the mutation in front of me, right."

"Why is this?"

Lan Qingyou's doubts made the originally somewhat relaxed crowd frown again.

True!

Logically speaking, Esmeralda had absolutely no need to take this risk; just continuing to slack off like normally would have been fine.

But she insisted on doing this, resulting in giving Lan Qingyou a chance to spot the flaws...
