Qu Jianlei was stunned for a moment at the door, frowned, and then looked around doubtfully.
After being in a daze for a while, he shook his head, picked up the scissors at the door, and began to decorate the flowers and trees in the yard.
He was certain in his heart that someone had released his spirit just now and was sensing his villa.
So in an instant, he realized that someone was sending out the "I'm coming" signal.
But as soon as he went out, the other party disappeared. This feeling was quite bad.
The other party wanted to test me, Qu Jianlei had already realized it in his heart.
In fact, if he insists on continuing to sense, he can grab the opponent's tail.
But there is no need. Facing an unknown opponent, he does not want to expose his true strength.
So his performance was: he sensed some abnormalities, and then suspected it was an illusion.
As for whether the other party believes it or not, that's none of his business. That's how he behaves anyway.
It's really not that he wants to play pig and eat the tiger, he just doesn't want to fall into the opponent's rhythm.
The next night, someone released another sensation in the villa, which was slightly lighter than the last time.
But this time, Qu Jianlei didn't make any reaction and pretended that he hadn't noticed the other party.
This time Mental Strength's test was relatively weak. He wandered around the villa for two or three minutes before quietly retreating.
The other party withdrew, but Qu Jianlei couldn't sleep... No one should sneak in quietly at night, right?
The security of Greenwater City's noble residential area is acceptable, but Qu Jianlei will not entrust his own safety to others.
Even Old City Library, who is a financial supporter, will be attacked in broad daylight. How can he trust the security here? However, he was prepared to deal with it, but nothing happened overnight.
However, Qu Jianlei is not unwilling. When it comes to Rank A, staying awake for ten or twenty days in a row is nothing.
After all, it is still the principle of multi-threaded operation, which can separate part of the mind to control the body, while the others fall asleep.
After the sleeping part wakes up, the active part goes to sleep again, taking turns to change shifts without any delay.
Somewhat similar to the dolphin's sleep on Blue Star.
Rank A, which can accurately manage sleep, can increase it to three-quarters or even four-fifths sleeping, while the rest is awake.
Of course, these are temporary coping methods. It is best not to persist for too long, otherwise the body and spirit will still feel exhausted.
Only deep sleep in all aspects is the most perfect way to rest.
Anyway, early the next morning, Qu Jianlei went to work full of energy.
Not long after the library opened, he was drinking tea and reading a book when a clear voice sounded, "You have such a wide range of reading!"
It was the female professor Green Water Academy who came again. She had a tall figure that was rare among imperial women, and she had a good temperament and appearance.
This is not the first time Qu Jianlei has come into contact with her. Strictly speaking, this is the fourth time.
The woman's name is Zi Jiuxian. She teaches mechanical engineering in the college and is also named Rank B Warrior.
Not only did Rank B Warrior go to study machinery, but she also taught classes at school. Her behavior seemed to be more willful than Qu Jianlei.
However, this is not the case. Zi Jiuxian itself is from Academy Faction and grew up in the academy.
She also served in the military, but also went to a military research institute, and returned to school after her term expired.
Some people really like to do research, and there is no reason to explain.
In fact, 85% of those who study mechanical research are men, and 90% of the remaining 15% are ugly women.
Among those who engage in mechanical research, Qianli is definitely the first choice for a woman with good looks and temperament like Zi Jiuxian.
So she is Rank B Warrior again... nothing to be surprised about, right? Zi Jiuxian is working on a project recently, but the college library cannot meet her requirements, so she comes here from time to time to check information.
Green Water Academy is the well-deserved first school in Second Star, and only Star Academy can compete with it.
The college's library is also very large, but when it comes to its historical heritage, Old City Library can't beat it.
On the 60th anniversary of the founding of Confidence District Library, Green Water Academy was officially established.
Zi Jiuxian came to the library once and was deeply impressed by this temporary librarian.
She doesn't judge people by their appearance. The key is that this administrator is so awesome. As soon as she reported her needs, the other person gave her an answer directly.
It can even be detailed down to which bookshelf and which floor. This is really not something that ordinary people can do.
I have seen dedicated people, but I have never seen such dedicated people... and they have a good memory! You can get the answer by asking casually, which is much more convenient than searching.
The second time she came, the female professor found that this guy was holding a book in his hand and reading at all times, and she couldn't help but appreciate him more.
The last time she came, she heard that the librarian actually beat up Rank B Warrior who was trying to cause sabotage.
This was the fourth time. Because the project was going relatively smoothly and she was not as pressed for time as in the previous period, she had time to chat more.
"It's not about covering a lot, it's about having nothing to do," Qu Jianlei stretched his long legs and replied without raising his head.
"My mind is too busy. It's rare to read a book for free. Why not read it?"
The empire's library is different from Shenzhou. It is not a public welfare library, but you have to spend money to read it, and it costs a lot of money! At this price, it sounds a bit incredible that libraries still have to rely on grants to survive.
But this is the fact, because many people are not qualified to read books even if they can afford it.
Information barriers are artificially created in this way. Although the library is large, only a few people can read books.
So from the perspective of being able to read books for free, there is really no need to care about the lower salary of librarians.
The crux of the matter is, how many people can be willing to live in poverty in order to continue reading?
And most people have their own choices when reading books.
There are many books in the library, but no one reads them indiscriminately - there are too many books, but the rest of life is short.
Therefore, when Zi Jiuxian said "covering a wide range of topics", it is not necessarily a compliment. It may mean that he has bitten off more than he can chew.
But the next moment, the female professor spoke again, "I think you are very talented in mechanical design and manufacturing."
"I like this," Qu Jianlei replied without looking up, "And it has saved my life many times."
God Underground Passage, what he said was really conscientious. At this time, he did not consider what the other party taught.
But Zi Jiuxian said seriously, "Where did you go to school? Which college did you graduate from?"
Qu Jianlei heard this and finally raised his head, "I'm just reading for a while. Professor, what do you want to search for today?"
Zi Jiuxian replied seriously, "Come to Greenwater for further studies and major in mechanics. You will not regret your choice."
So...Wasteland is changing to the academy stream? Qu Jianlei smiled and said, "Going to school? It's been a long time since I graduated. I really haven't thought about this."
Zi Jiuxian was silent, and after a while he sighed, "I didn't expect you to give up on yourself so much."
"What?" Qu Jianlei felt that he might have heard wrongly, "Professor, what you said is wrong. I am relying on myself."
"You are wasting your talent!" Zi Jiuxian said seriously, "This is a crime!"
It's full of the feeling of... real, beautiful teacher, tall temperament, and heartbreaking feeling.
"But... the talent is mine," Qu Jianlei felt a little confused. Shouldn't I have the final say on my own things?
"According to what you say, if I commit suicide now, will the empire have to sentence me to death again?"
"Don't be so talkative," Zi Jiuxian smiled nonchalantly, "You have to learn to listen to the opinions of professionals."
"I'm not interested in any professional opinions at all now," Qu Jianlei answered like a middle school boy.
"Our library has a professional collection of books, but in the end they were robbed... Is this called professional?"
Zi Jiuxian's information channel is much better than his. She smiled when she heard this and said, "Do you think this is a library problem?"
Qu Jianlei lacks emotional intelligence, but his IQ is not bad. "I can't even confirm the specific information. Do you think I am qualified to judge?"
He wanted to use these words to find out what unique copy was lost.
However, Zi Jiuxian did not answer directly. She just smiled and walked into the building without saying anything more.
Play hard to get? Qu Jianlei didn't care at all. He smiled and sat down, continuing to be immersed in his own world.
For those who are stubborn, the professor may have access to the sky, but he doesn't need it.
But his reaction was a bit intolerable for Zi Jiuxian.
Her face darkened, "Do you know what you are doing?"
"I know," Qu Jianlei walked out of the door and lit a cigarette - smoking is prohibited in the building.
While he was fuming, he answered casually, "I just want to live the life I want. Is that wrong?"
Zi Jiuxian was stunned for a moment, then asked in a deep voice, "Which planet are you from?"
No need to ask too much, you can tell from the aura alone that this person is most likely not Second Star.
Is this important? Qu Jianlei smiled nonchalantly and said, "Now we are all at home, so don't ask."
The empire is really too big, and all kinds of complicated situations arise one after another. His answer is indeed an admission that he has a secret.
But at the same time, it is also warning the other party not to ask any more questions, otherwise it may not end well.
Zi Jiuxian is a relatively pure Academy Faction, who cares less about the sophistication of society.
But the warning was too serious, and she felt the taste of it.
So she Diandian said, "If you change your mind and still want to study mechanics, I can help you arrange it on other planets."
Then she walked straight into the building without saying anything else - what else could she say?
Other planets...Qu Jianlei also shook his head, this matter is a bit far away.
By taking the resources of Fang Cao and Spirit Fox from other planets, he should be able to gain weight again.
But now is really not the time to think about these things.
Before getting off work that afternoon, Qu Jianlei received another communication.
The person who contacted him was Rose, the sister of Twin Sisters, saying that someone had a large amount of Ability Rice and wanted to discuss a deal with him.
However, for things like Ability Rice, people say that a large amount is only a few hundred or several kilograms, far from tens of thousands of kilograms.
A smile appeared on the corner of Qu Jianlei's mouth: Is it finally here?
