Chapter 14: New librarian
Lin Wanru was a proud person and never liked asking others for help. Yet she was now doing that for the sake of Jiang Bai. Without a doubt, those willing to help her would either be her girlfriends or a bunch of guys that were trying to get into her pants.
Jiang Bai had never met her girlfriends before, but he still knew that none of them were locals. And those who were locals and could help were most likely her pursuers. Although she looked gentle and refined, she was also an extremely proud person. And from what he had heard from her during their past conversations, she had always been distancing herself from those pursuers. But now, she had to request their help for the sake of Jiang Bai. Things hadn't been easy for her at all.
Moreover, Lin Wanru wasn’t from a rich family either. Although her family was richer than Jiang Bai's family, it wasn't by much. At most, her family was a middle class family. Although 2,000 yuan wasn't much, but that was still two months worth of living expenses for her. She had probably been saving a long time to get that much money, and now she was giving them all to him with no hesitation whatsoever. At this realization, a warm feeling rose in his heart.
"Don't worry. My friend has already settled the issue for me. Everything will be fine. As for the job, since I have no job anyway, I'll do it. Keep your money. I still have some on me. Food and living won't be a problem." Jiang Bai agreed as he couldn't bring himself to reject her kindness. In any case, he had nothing to do. He was already planning to take a short break anyway. The library of Tiandu University was one of the top libraries of the nation and would be a decent place for him to have his break.
"Settled?" Lin Wanru was stunned when she heard that. The classmate she had asked for help from was a local from a rather influential family. His parents were all officials in the government, and although their positions weren't high, they knew a lot of people. When she first asked for his help, he promised to help with full confidence but after only two days, he returned to tell her that this was an extremely tricky issue that not even he could solve. But now Jiang Bai was claiming that the issue had been dealt with?
So had that classmate not helped and was merely lying? No, that wasn't possible. Even if he's not helping, he would still try tricking her or use some other excuses instead of telling her he couldn't help. After all, that fellow had been relentlessly pursuing her and would constantly brag about how powerful his family was. But he had stopped showing himself ever since she asked for his help. It was likely that he wasn't lying.
Jiang Bai's friend? What friend of Jiang Bai could deal with something that troublesome? Lin Wanru found that hard to believe. She concluded that Jiang Bai was merely trying to comfort her. Fortunately, she had also asked for a different person’s help and that person had also promised to help. Therefore, even if Jiang Bai was only trying to comfort her, everything should be fine.
So long as Jiang Bai could behave himself, stop hanging around those thugs and focus on his librarian job, he would be fine for now. With the status of Tiandu University in the city, nobody would go looking for trouble at the campus. That should buy her enough time to deal with this for him.
Thus, Lin Wanru expression improved even though she still wasn't smiling. She lightly nodded her head and said, "Come look for me at the campus tomorrow. I have no classes in the morning. Come at nine. I will bring you to the head."
After giving Jiang Bai some more advises, she asked about his current situation and his new address. When she found out about the expensive rent, she told him to move out only to be told that he had already paid the rent in advance. That caused her to be endlessly furious. After reprimanding Jiang Bai for wasting money, she took her leave and returned to her girlfriends.
"Wanru, who is that handsome boy? At a glance, he looks normal. But the more you look at him, the more handsome he looks! Haha! Come clean, who is he? Your boyfriend?" Lin Wanru was immediately questioned when she returned to her girlfriends.
"No, he's my cousin. Not my boyfriend." Facing her girlfriends, Lin Wanru was no longer as imposing as she was earlier. She spoke softly, her face blushing, looking like a normal girl next door. If Jiang Bai saw this, his eyeballs would probably pop out from sheer shock.
"Big Brother Bai." The moment Jiang Bai stepped out the building, Xiaotian opened the car’s door for him. Jiang Bai got into the car and Xiaotian drove him back. Nothing else happened that night. Jiang Bai watched a few movies and practiced some martial arts before going to bed. Dreaming about the seductive Yao Lan and the stern cousin, the night passed.
On the next morning, Jiang Bai got Xiaotian to drop him off about 600 meters away from Tiandu University's entrance. After he got off the car, he headed toward the university on foot. When he arrived, he was about to give Lin Wanru a call when he noticed that she was already there waiting. She was carrying a piece of bread and a bottle of milk. Those were probably her breakfast.
Jiang Bai checked his watch and noted that it was only 8:30 in the morning. Why was Lin Wanru here waiting this early? When he saw her, she also noticed him. She waved her hand, telling him to come over. And the moment he approached her, she spoke, "Have you eaten your breakfast? I have some food here, but I'm not hungry so I don't feel like eating. You can have them."
Not giving Jiang Bai any chance to refuse her, Lin Wanru directly stuffed the breakfast to his hands. Once again, he felt a warm feeling in his heart. This girl had obviously bought the breakfast for him, but she was too shy to admit it. Since she was not willing to admit it, he had no intention to point it out. He started stuffing the breakfast down his throat, and in a short while, he finished everything.
Out of the corner of Jiang Bai’s eyes, he saw a trace of smile on Lin Wanru's face when she saw him eating her breakfast. She was trying hard to hide her smile, but he was a Grandmaster. With the senses of a Grandmaster, he was able to easily observe every change of her expression.
Done with the breakfast, Jiang Bai followed Lin Wanru over to meet the head of department. The head was a refined looking woman wearing a pair of glasses. After giving him the standard new hire speech, he was formally hired as a librarian of Tiandu University. He would now be in charge of taking care of the massive collection of books in the library with his other colleagues. Done with all that, Lin Wanru went off to her classes while Jiang Bai started his job. At the same time, he also started reading the books there at a rapid pace.
Under the flabbergasted gazes of the people there, Jiang Bai carried over 30 thick books touching on the various foundational topics. And in one morning, he finished reading all the books. After he was done reading, he stretched lazily and started studying his Great Tyrant System.
It had been a day since Jiang Bai last checked the system. The prestige points from Zhu Xian were still steadily coming in. Currently, he had around 1,700 prestige points in total. That was quite a large amount. After all, when he checked the high leveled Form Intention Fist proficiency previously, it was priced at 1,750 prestige points. Simply put, only 1,750 prestige points were required to reach Xu Jie’s level.
As for the Grandmaster Eight Extremes Fist Jiang Bai won from the lucky draw, it was worth 8,000 prestige points. His current prestige points were far from enough to get something like that. However, he could still do a lot with this much prestige points.
Jiang Bai had been too busy recently. Since he did not have much prestige points anyway, he hadn't been bothered about the system. Now that he had some free time, he decided to start looking around for something suitable for him. When the system showed the list of items he could purchase with prestige points, he was instantly dumbfounded.
The list was too long, with tens of thousands of things available for purchase. The list included things like industrial products, art pieces, and numerous skills and abilities. Even the fist techniques, kicking techniques, saber techniques and other combat techniques alone numbered to over 10,000 in the list. If Jiang Bai had to go through them one by one, he would have killed himself from exhaustion before he could even find what he wanted.
