Purgatory Artist-Chapter 149: Difficulties

* Ring ring ring ... *

A bell rang.

Liu Ping stood up from his seat and stretched his back.

The bell signified the end of the day's work and that he could get off work.

The door was pushed open.

A plainly dressed old man walked into the library and smiled: "What's the matter, you're in a hurry to go on a date right after getting off work?"

"Ah, Teacher Ted, you're here?" Liu Ping quickly greeted him.

Back when he was in the Premature Death class, the one responsible for taking care of him was this old man.

He was a naturalist.

After Frost Wind City fell, he returned to the royal capital.

Liu Ping being able to get a job in the library was more or less under his care.

"That's right, I saw Xiao Mengluo outside just now, I knew you weren't off work yet" Teacher Ted said.

"Haha"

Liu Ping was about to say something when he saw that the other librarian who took over his shift had arrived, so he immediately gave up his seat.

"Teacher, do you have time? Do you want to come with us? "Liu Ping invited him.

"No need, I'm just here to see you — — right, how many historical books are there in the royal library?" Ted asked.

"Twelve thousand books, divided into different categories, a total of twelve types, over three thousand years," Liu Ping said.

"What about biographies?"

Read 𝓁atest chapters at fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm Only.

"Seven hundred and thirty-five volumes."

"Then, what about books about the slumbering entities in the Eternal Night?"

"350,000 books, only about the slumbering entities around the Empire, there are no records of further exploration or records"

"How many books about human occupations are there?"

"Five volumes, two thousand copies of each volume."

"You've read all these books?"

"I have"

"... Liu Ping, although you haven't promoted your card grade, in terms of knowledge, you've done very well"

Ted gave him a look, then walked into the library.

Liu Ping was a bit surprised, but quickly followed him.

The two of them walked into the depths of the library.

Ted stopped, handed a letter to Liu Ping and said in a low voice:

"I'm going to the Empire's northern border to investigate the situation, I heard that there's a newly discovered slumbering entity there — — I wrote this letter before I left, take it"

Liu Ping received the letter.

The letter was sealed with a black seal, it was heavy, but he didn't know what it was.

"Teacher, what is this?" Liu Ping asked directly.

"It's a letter of introduction. Pick a time tomorrow and go to No. 21 Floating Lamp Street and give this letter to the owner there," Ted said.

Without waiting for Liu Ping to ask, he continued, "Other than me, there are other people who are very eager for knowledge. They have made great achievements in their respective fields and are widely known as naturalists. In fact, for these people, sharing knowledge is a matter of mutual benefit. I guess you are willing to join them."

Liu Ping immediately said, "Knowledge is priceless. Of course I'm willing."

"Very good. I was right about you" Ted said with satisfaction.

"Thank you for giving me this opportunity," Liu Ping said gratefully.

"You don't have to thank me. It's mainly because you have reached this level. In terms of knowledge and research, you are very good."

Ted patted him on the shoulder and said, "Now, go on your date. I'm going to find some friends for a drink. I'll tell them about you in advance."

He nodded at Liu Ping and turned to leave.

Liu Ping stood there for a while.

Lines of burning words appeared before his eyes:

[You've received a letter.]

[This sequence has observed the development of things. It is clear that this letter represents a title—]

[Title: Naturalist.]

[If you can pass the corresponding test and convince those who are quite intelligent in the years to come, you will receive the title of 'Naturalist.']

[Work hard!]

Liu Ping did not think much about it. He kept the letter carefully and then left the library.

When he came out of the library, it started to rain.

Xiao Mengluo stood by the fountain opposite the library with an umbrella in her hand. When she saw Liu Ping come out, she went up to him and smiled.

"You must be tired after a busy day."

"I'm okay. How about you?" Liu Ping asked.

"Teacher said that I didn't complete the mission well enough. I didn't collect enough things. Hmph!" Xiao Mengluo said gloomily.

"Then did you collect enough?" Liu Ping smiled.

"According to the mission requirements, I collected enough. But teacher said that I should have a sense of danger and should collect more." Xiao Mengluo complained.

"This is a small matter. Don't worry too much."

"But teacher deducted points from me."

"Let him. Just remember to collect more in the future."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

As the two of them were talking, they saw a person holding an umbrella walking slowly in the rain, gradually approaching them.

"Where are we going?" Liu Ping asked.

"Behind the academy, the usual place. I've already booked the location," Libertas said.

The three of them walked along the campus path until they reached the small restaurant where they often gathered.

"Boss —"

Libertas' voice suddenly stopped.

They saw a man in military uniform sitting at the entrance of the restaurant, looking at them up and down.

"Liu Ping, Libertas, Xiao Mengluo, long time no see" the man said.

"Qian Wuzhou? Why are you here! "Libertas said in a low voice.

"I'm here to see you and say the words that have been hidden in my heart" Qian Wuzhou said.

He sat still, but an illusory frame appeared around him. A number was marked on it.

[8.]

Level 8 card.

— — Qian Wuzhou was already level 8!

"Libertas, you should be level 5, Xiao Mengluo is level 6, and my strength is increasing day by day. I've already left you guys behind. As for that guy called Liu Ping ..."

Qian Wuzhou showed a contemptuous smile.

Libertas said angrily, "You bastard, don't go too far!"

Liu Ping stopped him, smiled and said, "That's right, Qian Wuzhou . I'm still level 2. You win. You're good. Is there anything else?"

"If I knew you were such a person, why would I fight with you in the first place?" Qian Wuzhou stared at him and said playfully.

"It's not too late to give up now — — have you given up?" Liu Ping asked.

Qian Wuzhou opened his mouth and snorted after a while. "I've already disdained to fight with you."

"Really?" Liu Ping asked.

"Of course, really" Qian Wuzhou said.

"Alright, make way, we're going in to eat" Liu Ping said.

"... I've booked this restaurant" Qian Wuzhou said.

The few of them looked at the restaurant owner.

The owner said apologetically, "He has indeed booked the restaurant. Everyone, please come back another day."

"It's okay." Liu Ping smiled and said to Qian Wuzhou, "Their dishes are not bad. Take your time, we'll go to another restaurant."

After that, he turned and left with the two of them.

"Liu Ping!"

Qian Wuzhou suddenly shouted from behind.

"What else?" Liu Ping asked.

"When the demons were massacring the city, you hid by the side of the street and did not help us. I'll never forget that" Qian Wuzhou said word by word.

Xiao Mengluo suddenly drew her longbow and pulled the bowstring full of arrows. She pointed at Qian Wuzhou and said,

"Enough! At that time, you deliberately threw the battle axe that was stained with the demons' blood at Liu Ping. Now, you actually have the face to find trouble with him. Despicable! "

Qian Wuzhou looked at the arrow and his face gradually brightened.

He stood up and said to Xiao Mengluo, "You dare to fight with me?"

In the surrounding streets, a few young men in military uniforms suddenly appeared and surrounded them.

"There's no need." Liu Ping grabbed Xiao Mengluo.

He took out a spoon from his pocket and blew on it.

In just a few breaths.

Several uniformed men with weapons in their hands turned around the corner.

"Hey, isn't this Liu Ping?"

"What happened?"

They asked one after another.

Liu Ping smiled and said, "If there's any trouble, call the police. This is our first rule to maintain law and order."

Qian Wuzhou's pupils constricted and he could not help but take a step back.

Those were the city's police.

He had always wanted to instigate them to fight, hoping that he could trample them under his feet today —

He did not expect them to call the police!

Liu Ping slowly took out the Empire Gold Medal and displayed it in front of the police officers.

"As for us, we are all going to be the pillars of the Royal Guards in the future. We always cherish our reputation and do not want to cause trouble."

"But someone here is slandering my reputation — this is related to the massacre of the city. I dare not be careless."

"Although the massacre of the city is in the past, no one dares to be careless. We still have to investigate thoroughly, don't we?"

"What do you all think?"
