To be honest, although Jia Lan made this decision, he was completely unsure in his heart, just like the thing called "Management and Operation" he just copied down, which came from the memory of another soul in his mind, and he couldn't judge whether it was harmful or not.

This should be the virus of the unknown world, which is completely invisible and intangible, and people have inadvertently stepped into its trap. Now, Jia Lan understands why there is a message "Remember to help me live a wonderful life!" in the message left by the soul from the unknown world.

Jia Lan doesn't know whether his soul will be swallowed or assimilated by the soul from the unknown world in the end. At least before that, he has to work hard to improve his strength and make his soul grow strong enough to control the influence of the unknown soul in turn.

Just when he was struggling with whether the "self-operation and self-financing" mentioned in the "Management and Operation" was dangerous, Alan came over with a lunch. Jia Lan, who took the lunch, didn't have time to enjoy it for the time being. After careful consideration, he handed the thing he just wrote to Alan.

In order to reintegrate into this era, he couldn't do nothing, so even if there was danger, he had to try it, just hoping that the development of things could be under his control.

"Alan, help me recruit a group of craftsmen, and we need to buy some supplies."

Jia Lan gave a simple order, but did not explain the reason to the girl. If he did not use the means he used to manage the library in the previous civilization, then his current identity as a librarian would become a big trouble that would take up a lot of his time and energy.

This deviated from his original intention of joining [Komo University]. He did not try to get into [Komo University] just to find a job.

Without using the original management methods, this library, which he thought was not big, would require a lot of money and manpower to manage well.

The maintenance of books alone is a delicate and tedious job. He had to find a group of mounters to help him do this job, and repair the old and broken books in the library on other floors to cover up the truth that the books on the first floor were repaired and refurbished.

The cost of repairing and renovating the books in the entire library is not something that can be paid with just a few hundred gold talans, but he can't use his wealth blatantly and ostentatiously, which will attract attention.

So he had to find a way to get some money to do this before the library's funds were approved. When he thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh again. It was really asking for trouble!

"Jia Lan, why do we need to hire so many carpenters to maintain the library?"

Alan looked puzzledly at the carpenters busy on a large lawn outside the library. They kept driving wooden stakes about the thickness of their arms into the lawn, and then made large, long triangular "pointed hats" according to the drawings Jialan drew for them. From the side, they looked like rows of large "umbrellas".

"Because the space in the library is too small and the light is dim, in order to provide everyone with a place to read books comfortably, I plan to build some "book sheds" on the lawn... Well, Alan, you should go and prepare with your sisters. Our "Science and Magic Book Bar" can be partially opened today!"

Jialan answered the girl's question casually, and kept looking at the small square tables that the carpenters were making. The small square tables were very small, and the smallest one was only two feet long, just enough to put down a book, some paper and pens, and a drink, which was enough for one person to sit and read.

There were also larger ones, two-person tables, four-person tables, eight-person tables, and even long tables that could seat a hundred people, but these tables were distributed in different positions in the front, back, left and right of the library.

Small round tables are usually scattered beside big trees, under the corners of the library's outer wall, or on secluded steps, and are often covered by a large parasol made of white painted oilcloth.

Perhaps in order to maintain a quiet reading environment, a large area of open space around the library is reserved, and there is a large forest of thick and dense ancient trees behind it, so there is enough space for Jia Lan to arrange it.

For many consecutive days, Jia Lan, in addition to reading a large number of books in the library at night, was studying the soul from the unknown world called "management and operation". Although he dare not say that he has fully mastered the theory mentioned in his mind, he has also learned some insights from it.

The information derived from the sentence "self-management, self-financing and self-loss" is too huge, so huge that if Jia Lan does not reveal it to the outside world, others will not be able to understand it even if they see it, so Jia Lan decided to take a risk and try it.

The originally gloomy ancient tree forest, after clearing away the dense weeds, overgrown shrubs, and the thick layer of humus on the ground that exuded an unpleasant and corrupt smell, not only did it appear cleaner and more unobstructed, it seemed that the gloomy and terrifying atmosphere was also cleared away along with the dead branches and leaves.

The moss on the ancient trees was washed away by the water magic apprentices hired by Jia Lan, and the dense umbrella-like ancient trees were also pruned by a large number of hired gardeners, making the branches sparser, so that the sunlight could be projected through the gaps, forming strange bright light beams in the forest, and beautiful spots of light like stars.

On the ground, the wood magic apprentices gave birth to a green and soft lawn, and the deliberately born flowers were either blooming alone or gathered in small groups, giving people a very strange and natural feeling.

Given the climate in the area where [Kolan City] is located, the grass and flowers can probably remain lush for more than two months. Planting grass and flowers at this time is actually not cost-effective, but Jia Lan doesn't care. What he needs is to create something called "style" and "atmosphere" to see if this thing mentioned by the soul from an unknown world is useful.

What he is doing now can be regarded as a low-risk spell experiment.
