Because it was the first day of school, not many people came to borrow books, so the cleaning work of the library did not affect them too much, and their attitude also made Jia Lan secretly relieved that his mistake last night was not noticed.
The upstairs and the basement had not been cleaned yet, and the first floor that he had cleaned was full of freshmen who borrowed books. No one noticed that the condition of the books had become particularly good, which was considered to be a preliminary cover-up of his mistakes.
There were more than 200 students who came to work. Since the library's funds had not yet been approved by the college's financial department, Jia Lan had to advance more than 40 gold Talan as salary. It is expected that he will need to pay nearly 300 gold Talan for this in the next few days.
Although 300 gold Talan is not a huge amount of money for Jia Lan now, if he does not want to attract attention, he must find a way to solve the source of this money.
Why should a new student who becomes a librarian pay for the maintenance of the library out of his own pocket? If someone else were to be the librarian, he would certainly not be as eager to maintain the library as Jia Lan, but would wait for the college's financial department to approve the funds before taking action.
But Jia Lan had a "reason" to invest in maintenance as soon as possible.
Therefore, although he didn't care about this small amount of money, he had to find a reasonable reason, which gave him a headache.
He just took care of the library casually, but who would have thought that it would cause such a complicated chain of problems.
Jia Lan sighed. It seemed that it would take a long time for him to really adapt to this era, and his previous habits needed to be slowly corrected.
"Jia Lan, aren't you going to have lunch?" Alan, whose cheeks were flushed due to being busy, ran to Jia Lan who was standing behind the counter.
Jia Lan wrote and drew on a piece of parchment with a sad face. Alan climbed the edge of the counter with his little hands, blinking his eyes and asking, looking like a very cute kitten.
"Uh, lunch?" Jia Lan was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "I have to guard the counter here, you go, just bring me one back."
"Oh! OK!" Alan agreed obediently, turned around and ran to discuss with several girls who were going to become temporary administrators, and asked some of them to go to the college restaurant to pack lunch for others.
[Do we have to pay for the library maintenance without using our own financial resources?] Jia Lan kept thinking while copying the text on a large piece of parchment.
Although he had a more convenient method, such as directly using [copying] to copy a large amount of text, what happened during this period made him start to avoid using his magic ability as much as possible, at least avoid using it in front of people.
The magic ability and life experience he "inherited" from the previous civilization are incompatible with this era.
This is not because there is a problem with his ability and experience, but because the difference in the times has caused a difference in the system.

In the eyes of people of this era, he has become a dangerous outlier.
For dangerous things, whether in the past or now, the most common method people use is to nip them in the bud.
For example, the magicians of this era seem to be unable to sense the spells he cast, and it seems that some strange supernatural events have occurred.
For example, he used small spells such as "Ice Making" and "Imbalance" to play pranks several times, and the people around him with magical abilities had no reaction.
Of course, this may have something to do with the fact that those people are just low-level magic apprentices. Senior magicians may be able to detect the fluctuations of arcane energy.
And his original life experience, many things that he took for granted or even insignificant in his eyes, also seem a bit shocking in this era.
For example, the previous potion formula and this time's "cleansing technique" have caused him a lot of trouble.
In addition, the memories left to him by the alien soul are also a huge problem. It can even be said that the harm caused by the alien soul is beyond his own problems.
That is a knowledge system from another unknown world, which is completely different from the civilization of the Eberron world!
He just tried to use some of the things called "industrialization", which caused a huge destructive impact on the industrial system of a city.
And this impact is completely invisible and intangible, making it hard to guard against. Even though we know its harm, there is no way to suppress or eliminate it.
This is just a budding performance. You can imagine what kind of changes will it bring to the world once its power is fully erupted? And there are far more memories of unknown worlds like this in his memory!
Although Jia Lan already knows the "sinister intentions" of the soul of the unknown world, he has no ability to resist.
Because their memories have been merged together. Most of the time, all kinds of strange ideas will emerge unconsciously.
And this is the result of the memory left by the unknown soul, which is in his subconscious.
And as this unknown memory is gradually unsealed, the influence of the soul of the unknown world on him will inevitably become greater and greater!
This state is obviously very dangerous. Once there is a problem that he cannot control, it is very likely to cause irreparable disasters for him, and even endanger his own safety.
In this era, he is just a freshman at the "Techmo University" with no foundation, and now he is just a high-level mage apprentice who has no ability to protect himself.
Looking at what he wrote, Jia Lan sighed deeply. This is simply an unsolvable proposition for him.
Unless he does not think at all and does nothing, he cannot control the "grin" of the alien soul in his subconscious.
It seems that he is very inexperienced in both experience and experience. He regards the unknown soul that has disappeared by self-annihilation as a benevolent existence, and thus carelessly bewitched by it, and successfully let it implant the "evil" will into his soul.
It seems that no matter what he does in the future, he must think before deciding whether to act.
Even if he cannot avoid his behavior being affected by the unknown soul that has disappeared, at least he should choose to do it with less harm.
