Being in a state of high intensity, tension and busyness for a long time, the extreme mental fatigue is not something that ordinary people can easily bear.
It is a challenge to the limits of body and mind. Only those casters who truly have an endless pursuit of mysteries can endure the unspeakable hardship and bitterness with firm belief and perseverance.
However, today, Jia Lan finds himself in a completely different pace of life.
He is like an ordinary person, busy running around for various trivial things, experiencing those new experiences that he has never been involved in. This freshness and challenge makes him feel both strange and exciting.
Since the original world has been deeply buried deep underground with the field vein explosion 1,700 years ago, Jia Lan, who has started over in this new era, decided to embrace life with a new attitude and experience this daily life that is completely different from his original environment.
Perhaps, in this process, he can comprehend some profound philosophy and the truth of life that have been ignored in the past...
"Snap!" With a crisp snap of fingers, four bright balls of light emerged out of thin air around Jia Lan's body, like four bright stars lighting up the dark and silent library.
In this quiet and almost dead environment, the towering bookshelves, the moving escalators, and the uneven reliefs on the circular dome of the library all reflect ghostly light and shadow under the light, adding a bit of mystery and horror.
No wonder there are all kinds of horror legends in the library! Maybe it is to prevent moisture and insects that materials such as powder are sprinkled, and there is not even a trace of insect chirping inside and outside the library.
Except for Jia Lan's footsteps and breathing, it is so quiet here that even his own heartbeat can be clearly heard.
Such an environment is undoubtedly a great test for ordinary people. Not to mention calming down and reading in such an environment, it is a blessing not to be scared to death.
However, for Jia Lan, this environment is exactly what he is most familiar with.
Compared with the three million book rooms of the [Kolanburg Library] that he once managed - those huge book collection spaces that are like the legendary "Gerti Knossos Labyrinth" - this large library with a single floor area of only 100,000 square meters is really nothing.
Waving his hand, four groups of light balls created by [Dancing Lights] rose to the dome. Jia Lan moved his fingers and began his first job in this era - the career of a librarian.
So, what does a librarian do? Is it just standing behind the counter to register the borrowing and returning information? Of course it's more than that!
The work of a librarian involves the classification and induction of books, maintenance, cleaning and sorting... and providing various consulting services to borrowers.
They need to help borrowers find the books they need in the shortest time, which requires them to be familiar with the titles, numbers, types, general contents and locations of all books within their scope of work.

Only in this way can they provide book information quickly and accurately when someone asks.
For Jia Lan, who had been in charge of managing three million book collections, this [Science and Magic Library] with a single floor area of only 100,000 square meters was really not difficult at all.
He moved between the bookshelves with ease, completing each work task in an almost artistic manner.
In the library, rows of neatly arranged bookshelves stand, each row has 10 books, 5 meters wide and 5 meters high.
A total of 200 rows of bookshelves are divided into several large and small areas in a staggered manner, as if they are a piece of ocean of knowledge, waiting for people to explore.
Each bookshelf has an amazing capacity, which can store 1,500 books. According to preliminary estimates, the number of books stored on the first floor alone exceeds 3 million, which is amazing.
Faced with such a huge collection of books, some people may think that it is impossible to manage it by one person alone.
However, Jia Lan proved this wrong with practical actions. He wore a mysterious [Identification Robe], lightly touched the bookshelf, and activated all the secret effects of the robe.
Under the effect of the 0th level [Energy Transmutation] spell [Organize Books], the books in the entire library seemed to be given life, flying out of the bookshelves, and "fluttering" up to the curved dome like countless pigeons, forming a spectacular "book cloud".
Then, Jia Lan waved his palm in the air, and the 0th level [Transmutation] spells [Cleaning] and [Repairing] began to take effect.
An invisible wind formed in the huge space, like a huge invisible hand, rolling away a lot of dust, making the entire library look brand new.
The effect of [Repairing] was even more amazing. It restored the minor damage caused by insects and rats on the books to their original state, making these precious books in the best condition.
The brand new books began to fall down "crackling", automatically returning to the positions they should be in according to certain classifications, numbers, and themes. The whole process was like a wonderful performance.
After doing all this, Jia Lan clapped his hands with satisfaction. Although there were still several floors upstairs and underground in the library that needed to be sorted, he did not plan to finish all the work in one day.
Therefore, after sorting out the basic books on the first floor, he walked to the first bookshelf in the first row, ready to start his reading journey.
As he walked, Jia Lan sat back casually. At this time, an invisible disc about one meter in size flashed, and this force field disc made by [Secondary Floating Disc Technique] supported his body and carried him to fly slowly.
The force field disc moved slowly, supporting Jia Lan's body to float at a suitable height, allowing him to easily browse the books on each row of bookshelves.
With a light wave of his palm, a whole row of nearly a hundred books flew out, and under the effect of [Transportation Technique], they surrounded Jia Lan's body, as if bright stars were rotating around him.
Reaching out to take a book, Jia Lan gently stroked the heavy leather cover, but was not in a hurry to open the book.
He just tapped the cover with his finger, and his special ability [Scholar's Touch] as a [Scholar] began to take effect.
The content of the book instantly turned into an invisible stream of text, converging into his mind, as if he had read the book in its entirety.
Jia Lan closed his eyes, and the [Reading Technique], [Interpretation Technique], [Summarization Technique], and [Analysis Technique] in his mind began to work simultaneously. The text began to be automatically read repeatedly to deepen the impression, and the meaning of the text was also interpreted for him to understand.
He summarized the key points and analyzed the essential content, so that the knowledge of each book could be quickly absorbed and mastered by him.
It was not until the first ray of sunlight came in from the window that Jia Lan exhaled, gently closed the book in his hand, and put it back to its original position.
He glanced at the bookshelf he had already read, and a very strange expression appeared on his face. Perhaps it was because he found some amazing secrets in these books, or perhaps it was because he was excited and a little uneasy about the knowledge he had mastered.
But no matter what, this night's reading journey will become an unforgettable experience in his life.
