METROPOLITAN SYSTEM
Chapter 14 : A Glorious New Administrator
__________
After calming down his anger he thought deeply.
Thinking about it, this lass usually cared a lot about her face and didn't like to beg others. But for his own matters, she actually asked others for help. It wasn't hard to imagine that other than her roommates, only a bunch of flies would be willing to help her.
He hadn't met her roommates before, but he knew that none of them were local here. The only ones who could help here were probably one of her suitors. This lass usually seemed gentle and refined, but she cared a lot about her face. In the past, she would always keep a respectful distance from those people. Now that she had to beg others for his sake, it was somewhat difficult for her.
Moreover, this lass's family wasn't rich. Although it was better than his own family by a little, it was still limited. At most, she could be considered well-off. 2000 yuan wasn't much in reality. But to her, it was probably one or two months' worth of living expenses. He didn't know how much she had to save to make up such a small amount of money, but she gave it all to him without any hesitation. This made Jiang Bai feel warm in his heart.
"Don't worry. My friend has already helped me to settle that matter. Nothing will happen. As for the Library Administrator vacancy you mentioned, I don't have a job anyway. I might as well take this opportunity. So I'll go! As for the money, take it. I still have some savings. That'll be enough to eat and drink for some time. There is no problem."
Jiang Bai couldn't bear to reject his cousin's kind intentions. Moreover, he didn't have much to do. He had originally planned to spend some time to recharge his batteries and do some research and nothing more. Tiandu University's library was one of the best in the country. Going there was a better place for him. It is getting two targets with one arrow. He will be able to get access to a huge source of information as well as side income until he decides to leave.
"It's settled?"
Jiang Bai's words made Lin Wanru very surprised.
The classmate she had asked was a local. His family was quite well-to-do. His parents were both leaders. Although their positions weren't very high, she heard that they had a wide network. When she asked him for help, he was very confident that he can do this task without any difficulty. But after two days, he came back and told her that this matter was very difficult.
He was also helpless. But now, Jiang Bai said that it was settled? How that can be.
Could it be that' that person really helped him?
No, that's impossible!
He said even he can't help in this matter.
Even if he wasn't able to solve the matter for some reason, why did he directly say that he couldn't help?
He could have used other reasons. One had to know that that fellow had always circled around her and bragged about how powerful his family was. Ever since that time, he hadn't appeared in front of her. It shouldn't be fake.
Jiang Bai's friend?
What kind of friend did Jiang Bai have that can actually solved this matter?
Lin Wanru didn't quite believe to whatever he said. She felt that Jiang Bai was just trying to coax her to forget about this matter.
But at the very least, he had found someone else, and that person had assured him that the problem would be settled well. Whether or not Jiang Bai was trying to coax her and reassure her, it shouldn't be a big problem.
As long as he joined in Tiandu University, with Tiandu University's status in Tiandu, no one would to cause trouble there. It will give him enough time to solve the matter.
Thinking of this, Lin Wanru became at ease and her face looked much better. Although she didn't smile, she nodded gently. "Come to the University tomorrow. I don't have classes in the morning. So I'll take you to see the dean at nine."
She didn't ask Jiang Bai to stay for lunch. Lin Wanru still talked about some other things, such as asking Jiang Bai where he lived. After learning that he already had chosen the place and the rent was expensive, she asked Jiang Bai to move. But when she learned that he had already paid the rent in advance and at that he had paid for two months, she was furious.
After angrily scolding Jiang Bai for being such a prodigal, Lin Wanru bid farewell to Jiang Bai and returned to her best friend's place.
"Wanru, who was that handsome guy just now! At first glance, he was looking a little handsome. But when you look closely, he's a more handsome guy! Haha, tell me honestly, who is that? Is he your Boyfriend? "Just as she returned to the table after bidding farewell, Lin Wanru was attacked by her five gossipers roommates
"No, he's, my cousin. He's not a boyfriend."
At this moment, Lin Wanru was no longer seems as arrogant or angry as before. Her face was slightly red and she spoke softly. She looked exactly like a pretty girl from a humble family and was ashamed of herself. If Jiang Bai saw this side of her beautiful cousin, his eyeballs would probably fall out of their sockets.
"Brother Jiang Bai!"
As soon as Jiang Bai stepped out of the restaurant, Xiaotian immediately came over to open the car door for Jiang Bai. Then, he drove the car and sent Jiang Bai home.
After all journey throughout the day, he was little exhausted. After reaching home he relaxed.
It was a boring night. Jiang Bai watched a few movies from this world and practiced martial arts before falling asleep. In his dream, he unconsciously dreamed of the graceful and charming Yao Wei and his cold-looking yet beautiful cousin. Unknowingly, the night passed.
The next morning, after Jiang Bai woke up, he called and asked Xiaotian to drop him off 600 meters away from the entrance of Tiandu University. Then, he got off the car early and walked there.
When he reached the school entrance and was about to call Lin Wanru, he was shocked to find that Lin Wanru was already standing at the Campus entrance. She was holding a piece of bread and a packet of milk. It looked like her breakfast.
He looked at his watch. It was only 8:30 a.m.
Why was this girl standing here?
When Jiang Bai saw Lin Wanru, Lin Wanru also saw Jiang Bai. She waved her hand at Jiang Bai and he walked over. When he was in front of her, he heard Lin Wanru say, "Have you eaten yet? I just bought breakfast. But I'm not hungry, so I think it's better if I don't eat it. Here you can have it."
Before Jiang Bai could object, she stuffed the bread and milk into Jiang Bai's arms. This made Jiang Bai's heart feel warm. This girl obviously prepared it for him, but she didn't seem to want to admit it.
Since the other party didn't want to say it, Jiang Bai didn't point it out. He unceremoniously devoured the food and drank the milk after that he wiped the corner of his mouth. He subconsciously noticed that Lin Wanru was looking at him with a slight smile. Although she tried to hide it, what kind of person was Jiang Bai? A Martial Grandmaster was exceptionally sharp. In an instant, he had a panoramic view of everything before him.
After eating he followed Lin Wanru, Jiang Bai paid his respects to the bespectacled and refined female director. After a routine lecture, Jiang Bai officially took up his post and became a glorious New Administrator of Tiandu University's Library. Together with others, he managed the millions of books in the Library.
After introducing him Lin Wanru went to class. When Jiang Bai wasn't working, he began to crazily devour books.
Under the astonished gazes of others, he first chose thirty thick foundational books and digested them all in the morning. After that, he stretched his body and began to know the "Metropolitan System" better.
Another day passed like usual.
Celestial Bane's popularity increased at the same time. Jiang Bai now had 1,700 Reputation Points, which was not a small number. One must know that the "Advanced Will-Form Fists Mastery" that Jiang Bai checked previously only required 1,500 RP. That skill was equivalent to Xu Jie's level.
Of course, his "Grandmaster Level Eight Extremes Fist" required 8,000 RP, it was more than 5 times the cost of "Advanced Will-Form Fists Mastery". If Jiang Bai were to use RP to buy it, it would be far from enough. However, 1,700 RP was enough for Jiang Bai to get a lot of things.
During this period, he had been too busy.
Secondly, he didn't have enough RP. Now that he had some free time, he naturally wanted to check it and see if there was anything that was suitable for him.
When the system gave him a list, Jiang Bai was immediately dumbfounded.
Because there were too many things that could be bought, it was too complicated. The number was in the hundreds of thousands, including industrial products, works of art, various abilities, knowledge of various things and fields which is vast to count not to mention day to day basic things.
Don't have to say anything else, just the fists technique, the kick techniques, the stick techniques, the knife techniques... and many more, and then there is body techniques and routines to enhances the physical strength, there were tens of thousands of kinds of items listed.
When he saw all these things Jiang Bai felt a headache, it sure will take a great amount of time to find suitable item in the list for him.
