Our neighborhood has been transported again.

Chapter 304 The Rules of the Book Tower
Upon hearing Zhou Xian's verdict, the two immediately became anxious.

"We didn't act on our own initiative! What kind of bullshit rule is this?!" The man's neck turned red.

"Yeah, you think you're so clean? Do you dare say everyone else's asses are clean?!" the woman yelled. "I saw someone picking fruit, and then secretly eating two halfway through. And someone slacking off, doing nothing while everyone else was busy. You're targeting us!"

Upon hearing these words, many of the onlookers who had gathered around changed their expressions and began to criticize.

"Don't throw mud at people; people with heart conditions see everything as dirty."

"You think you're in the right to leave the team without permission? If everyone did what you did, how could the team stay united?"

The people around them chimed in with their own comments.

Zhou Xian walked over expressionlessly, and amidst the man's roar and the woman's screams, he took out two more bags containing mushrooms from their pockets.

"The evidence is conclusive, what else is there to argue about? Our team of twenty-six did not collect any mushrooms today."

"Who told you to touch me like that? I'm going to sue you for rape!" The woman suddenly sat on the ground, throwing a tantrum.

But she was met with indifferent stares from those around her.

She struggled on the ground for a long time, but no one came to "stand up for justice".

Her movements became slower and slower, and she became increasingly helpless.

"Sisters, help me." She searched for teammates among the women watching.

"Who's your sister? Don't disgust me." The woman who was called looked annoyed. "Our reputation as women is ruined by rotten apples like you."

The couple left amidst the pointing fingers and whispers of the crowd.

In fact, the impact on them is more than just this.
In today's environment, it is difficult for ordinary people to survive by going it alone.

That's why many people choose to band together, and joining the Qin Alliance is for the same reason.

Because the Qin Alliance was too large, it was divided into smaller teams to operate.

Normally, the team members are fixed.

The way teams are usually formed depends on how close the relationship is and how far apart they live.

In this situation, reputation is especially important.

If someone has a bad reputation, not only will their original squad expel them, but other squads will also be unwilling to take them in.

The performance of your teammates can really affect whether your whole family will go hungry tomorrow.

"Captain, I was wrong. We're willing to accept the punishment. We'll give all these mushrooms to the team." The man finally realized his mistake and quickly said.

“You don’t know you’re wrong, you just know you’re going to be punished.” Zhou Xian shook his head. “Since there are rules, then we must follow them.”

Upon hearing this, the man trembled and his face turned ashen.

Watching the young couple leave in such a disheveled state, many people present felt a chill run down their spines.

This incident served as a wake-up call for them.

If someone commits a crime, the Qin Alliance will truly punish them.

That evening, Qin Ziwen closed the passageway.

He summoned Zhao Pu and asked, "How's the supplies gathering going?" Zhao Pu replied, "We harvested over 2,500 jin of fresh vegetables and fruits this time. We also felled many large trees. The trees on this island are generally small, mostly wind-resistant and salt-tolerant coconut trees, casuarina trees, banyan trees, etc., which are not very good for shipbuilding."

"Hmm." Qin Ziwen was quite satisfied; as long as there was some gain, that was good enough.

Qin Ziwen said, "The finished vegetables and fruits can be distributed according to contributions, while the seeds and seedlings can be kept for planting."

"Okay, President."

"Oh, right, there's one more thing I need you to pass on," Qin Ziwen said, describing the effects of the new building, the Hundred Schools of Books Pagoda.

Zhao Pu was somewhat surprised upon hearing this, but he quickly adapted.

After all, we've seen so many strange buildings, so the idea of ​​another building that can compile knowledge into books doesn't seem like such a novel or unacceptable thing.

Zhao Pu was just curious about the level of his surgical skills.

Ten minutes later, Zhao Pu looked at the "Intermediate Surgical Techniques" in his hand, his eyes flickering slightly.

How could my skill level be considered intermediate-level surgical skills?

Zhao Pu smiled. Was this an affirmation of his twenty-year medical career?

The next day, when news of the Hundred Schools of Book Tower spread, the six-story tower immediately became a popular spot for visitors within the Qin Alliance.

Many people think they have mastered a certain skill, but after putting it into practice, they find that most of their knowledge cannot be translated into books.

"How is that possible? My marksmanship isn't even at the beginner level." Jiang Shan's expression was complicated.

"It must be because you were lazy. I was lucky; my marksmanship has been condensed into a book. It seems this is the Book Tower's affirmation of me." Cao Biansheng laughed, holding a deep blue book in his hands.

Because so many people wanted to get into the tower, there was a long queue at the entrance.

Looking at the lively scene from afar, Jia Liangcai straightened his clothes and bowed deeply, "Congratulations, my lord, on acquiring this extraordinary item. This tower is mysterious; it can transform people's strengths into classic texts, and it can also help readers to understand and comprehend the material, saving them from ten years of hard study. This is a divine tool for cultivating talent and a foundation for establishing oneself in the world."

"If this continues, your lord will naturally have a wealth of talented people under your command." After a brief pause, Jia Liang continued, "However, while the divine artifact is wonderful, it must not be used as a public school, allowing anyone to come and go as they please. I earnestly request that a system of 'rewarding merit and talent' be established."

"You say it."

"Firstly, meritorious service can be exchanged for the opportunity to enter the tower. Those who are loyal to the lord and make contributions will be granted an entry time according to the size of their merits, and will be able to view the corresponding level of books."

Secondly, one can exchange talent for books. If any talented or extraordinary person wishes to condense their skills into a new collection within the tower, whether it be a crafting technique, medical insights, or even martial arts reflections, they will be granted free access to one book of the same level in the collection for each volume they create. This is called 'exchanging skills for skills, and wisdom for wisdom.' In this way, the tower's collection will become increasingly abundant, and the hearts of the people will be fully under the lord's control.”

“I think Lao Jia is right.” Qin Ziwu, standing next to him, agreed. “Brother, it’s fine if you open the Tianxing Arrow Corridor and the Yongwu Training Ground, after all, we did need to improve our combat power back then.”

This tower can help people learn knowledge quickly. If loyal and disloyal people are treated the same, what will the loyal people get? I think they should either exchange it for merit or knowledge. They shouldn't be shown it for free, and I don't think that's a difficult requirement.

They can learn skills at the Sky Star Arrow Gallery and the Brave Warrior Training Ground. Once their skills have reached a certain level, they can exchange them for knowledge of the same level. This also allows for indirect monitoring of their skill development.

Qin Ziwen nodded, "Alright, Liangcai, go and announce this rule later. Everyone who entered the tower and condensed a book today should be registered. Hmm, today is the first day, and everyone can look at the books for free on the first day. The rule will be officially implemented starting tomorrow."

You can't learn much in a day. Although these books can speed up the learning process, they're not as amazing as skill books in games. You can't just clap your hands and learn it instantly.

Let them experience the allure of the book tower; that will motivate them even more.

As for whether the books will be secretly taken away, there is no need to worry at all, because the books inside the tower can only be read inside the tower. Once you leave the area of ​​the Hundred Schools of Books Tower, the books will automatically disappear and return to the bookshelf.
