Chapter 66: Study Hard

~7 min read 1,315 words

For the Wealth Church, Tana City is one of the few regions they can control.

Of course, this also has to do with Tana City not being prosperous, but because of this, Feng, who was preparing to monitor the witch forces and the Sun Church, must shift his attention to someone else.

When Feng Buxi and Yunxiao received the summons from the Wealth Church, they thought they had discovered that they were in possession of the Wealth Church's Awakening Formula.

It wasn't until they arrived at the location that they realized the Wealth Church had a traitor.

"Sarana Brown, this is the person you need to look for recently. If you can find her, just tell us directly. Do not attempt to approach her; she will not trust you, and don't even think about capturing her yourselves. Her background is unusual; even we can only contact her through negotiation," Feng said to his informants quite reluctantly. "Of course, she might also appear in the wealthy districts; you had best split up some manpower."

Who would have thought the meta answer wasn't the Military Camp?

This is easy to handle, anyway, the portion of players who are in the Military Camp every day also have to come out to patrol.

With their identities, even if they saw Sarana Brown, they wouldn't make the other party suspicious.

After leaving the chamber of commerce, Feng Buxi turned directly toward Mengmeng and Mengmeng's little shop.

The two of them only ran a street stall at first, but because their craftsmanship was good, they quickly saved up a small sum of money.

It is said that Mengmeng is a student majoring in food industry, while Mengmeng has her own understanding of baking; now the two of them have opened a small bakery and are true life-skill players in the game.

Their path is completely different from other players; there is no fighting or killing content, and both of them enjoy this kind of leisurely life that won't be disturbed.

Therefore, this is also a place where players meet. Zhuguli buys a bagel or something similar here every day, and Feng Buxi orders lunch here, which is delivered to Bar Street by Mengmeng every day.

"Did Zhuguli come today?" As soon as he entered the door, Feng Buxi sat at a small dining table to the side, striking a pose of waiting for someone.

Mengmeng poked her head out to look at the big clock outside. "He will be here soon. Is there something interesting again?"

Although they don't do quests, Mengmeng and Mengmeng both like to hear about the fresh things other players encounter.

Some things are said offline, but they can hear them firsthand.

"Have you seen this person?" Taking out the portrait of Sarana Brown, Feng Buxi asked, "She is a wanted criminal of the Wealth Church, but she is of noble birth. If you happen to run into her, just tell me. If you provide a lead, I'll give you a reward of 3,000 Tana."

"So high? Our rent is only 400 Tana a month." Mengmeng gasped, watching the other party put the portrait away, and complained, "You should ask Chen Ai to draw a few more, otherwise I won't be able to remember it."

"It looks quite special, that's all—covered in jewels and jade; people from the Wealth Church all have this sort of demeanor. Of course, she might be in disguise, but the noble temperament on her body cannot be disguised. You can refer to Saina."

Saina always looks at people with her nostrils; that innate noble aura is completely different from ordinary people.

Even the middle class in Tana City often carries a kind of decadent air; after all, too many things have happened during this period, affecting quite a few people.

Even some minor nobles have been affected by the various Transcendental Events that have occurred frequently during this time, losing their former vitality.

"But you're right, I'll go find Chen Ai to talk about this matter in a while." As he was speaking, Zhuguli, wearing the uniform of a guard squad leader, walked in from outside.

Seeing Feng Buxi, Zhuguli said with a smile: "What a coincidence, I thought you would only call the girls to deliver it to you, such a big cart every time."

"I can't help it, I can't get away; there's always someone looking for trouble over there. But it's going to open soon, so remember to bring the brothers over then." Feng Buxi exchanged pleasantries. "By the way, I have a matter here that needs your help."

After listening to Feng Buxi's request, Zhuguli felt this wasn't a big deal.

Anyway, the busiest thing they've been doing lately is strolling on the side of the road.

"No problem, so I really don't understand why the people from the Wealth Church don't have their own patrol." Zhuguli said helplessly, "They could completely hire manpower, but they handed this kind of thing over to the War Church. Look, this way they have a harder time finding people than anyone else."

"Who's to say? But this is also the game's way of reminding us of these merchants' thinking. They can earn more money in minutes, so why waste time on the street? Isn't it better to find people like us who have tighter lips?" Feng Buxi spread his hands. "In any case, I will have Chen Ai help draw some portraits; remember to keep an eye out for us when you patrol."

"But this portrait is really not like her at all." Zhuguli looked at the portrait, feeling a bit worried. "Anyway, if a strange woman appears, I will report it to you; whether it's her or not will be up to you."

"No problem!"

To think that the Wealth Church would never have imagined that the work they handed out would be sold to people from the War Church in the next turn.

As for the rational use of resources, I'm afraid no one is clearer about it than players.

……

Because of a few days of busyness, all the Runes and Charms in Li You's hands had been sold out. He had now changed into a new outfit, no longer the simple attire from before.

Having money, Li You prepared a second-hand suit and even spent a large sum of money to buy a cane.

He looked like some government employee, but in reality, he didn't know a single word in the game.

However, this did not affect him enriching himself. Relying on Runes made by others is ultimately not as good as relying on himself; he felt it was necessary to learn it himself.

Fortunately, the library's doors are always open, and getting a library card is not difficult; one only needs to provide a name and a sufficient deposit amount to read books inside.

However, if one wants to take them out, one needs proof of property. Li You couldn't provide this, so he could only choose to read them there.

The library was not quite what he imagined; it was not that kind of quaint library, and it was not like some Western fantasy works, but rather quite bright and tidy, just like being in a school.

There weren't many people reading, or perhaps it was because the time Li You chose wasn't a break time; in any case, there were only a few scattered people in the huge library.

Then the problem arose: he didn't know how to find the books he needed.

He could only confirm which row to go to by using the alphabetical order.

Like him, Chen Ai, who had come to the library, was also confused.

Fortunately, she was much better than Li You and knew quite a few characters, so Chen Ai, who had arrived at the library early, had already found an Introduction to Occultism.
