Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Ye Chen said irritably, "Everyone else is looking forward to a holiday, why are you so different? Go back and get some rest first. If you want to be a beast of burden, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future!"

"But, but my vacation has been going on for quite a while..."

"You need to learn to get used to holidays. You'll get used to it after a few more holidays. Go back now!" Ye Chen patted Huang Longtian on the shoulder to comfort him.

"Alright, Brother Ye, I'll head back now. Call me anytime if you need anything; I'm available 24/7!"

"Go, go!" Ye Chen waved his hand.

Huang Longtian walked to the side, put the broom down, and then left reluctantly.

Ye Chen watched Huang Longtian's departing figure and couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.

That boundless enthusiasm for work, that youthful energy—great job, he's got spirit!

Ye Chen entered the room and found it neat and tidy, with a clean floor.

The vegetables in the backyard are also lush and green, growing well!

It's clear that Huang Longtian has put in a lot of effort these past few days; he's quite the expert at farming!

Just then, Huang Longtian returned: "Brother Ye, there's something I forgot to tell you. Old Xie came by once and brought a box of books, which I put in the study on the second floor!"

"Okay, I understand!" Ye Chen replied.

Old Xie even gave him books, which was strange, and he didn't tell him about it.

Ye Chen went to the study on the second floor. In the corner of the study was a clean and simple wooden box, the kind of flip-top wooden box from the 1970s or 1980s.

Ye Chen walked over and opened it, and found a box of books neatly stacked inside.

Goodness, are they trying to get him to take the postgraduate entrance exam?

Ye Chen picked it up casually and took a look. The first book was "Tianlong Temple Hard Qigong". It wasn't very thick and looked a bit old.

I go!

Could it be that they sent him a whole box of martial arts books?

Ye Chen picked up another book, "Jeet Kune Do Practical Analysis," and flipped through it. This one was a bit newer and was an illustrated version.

There's also a whole bunch of other books like "Yi Jin Jing" (a traditional Chinese exercise), "Wu Qin Xi" (Five Animal Frolics), "Ba Duan Jin" (Eight Pieces of Brocade), "Tai Chi Sword," and "Tai Chi Fist"...

Most of the books are modernly printed, but there are a few thread-bound books in traditional Chinese characters that look quite old.

Ye Chen was dazzled by what he saw.

Holy crap, so many! What is Elder Xie trying to do?

Ye Chen took out his phone and called Elder Xie: "Hey, Elder Xie, why did you send me a box of books? Do you want me to become a martial arts master?"

"Hehe, Brother Ye, you're back!" Old Xie's hearty laughter rang out.

"Oh, I just got home, what's going on with this book?!"

Old Master Xie chuckled, "Hey, those are some books I collected in the past, just a hobby. Now that you've cultivated internal energy, I'll give them to you. Perhaps you need them more than I do!"

"So many, how long would it take me to see them all!" Ye Chen rolled his eyes.

Old Xie chuckled, "Anyway, I'll take my time looking at them. I haven't looked at them in ages; if no one looks at them again, they'll probably be eaten by worms!"

Ye Chen scoffed, "Oh, I see now. You've got me set up as an administrator. If we ever run out of food, I'll just sell them off!"

Old Xie said nonchalantly, "Anyway, they're yours now. I don't mind if you use them as firewood. By the way, since you're back, we've organized a Mid-Autumn Festival feast tonight. It's all old friends. Why don't you come along? It's at my house!"

"Okay, then I can save on one takeout meal!" Ye Chen readily agreed.

After ending the call, Ye Chen picked up the box of books again!

It's quite difficult to browse through them inside the box, which contains at least a hundred books that need to be sorted and arranged.

Next, Ye Chen got busy and became a librarian.

But I must say, these books really hit the nail on the head.

While he was in Shanghai, he was thinking of learning some practical skills!

Great, now we have all kinds of martial arts techniques!

It even included cultivation techniques that Ye Chen had never heard of before!

However, learning by reading books requires patience and a certain level of comprehension.

There were eight thread-bound ancient books in total, and Ye Chen was particularly interested in three of them:

"The Complete Guide to Martial Arts", "The Boxing Manual", and "The Art of Flying Swords".

Ye Chen was most interested in the book "Flying Sword Techniques" because he had a small Seven Star Sword.

However, after a quick glance, he discovered that it was not the flying sword technique he had imagined, but rather a hidden weapon technique.

Many parts of these eight thread-bound books were damaged by insects.

Ye Chen carefully flipped through it; some of the writing was already blurred and illegible, requiring careful consideration.

It is definitely an old item!

The thought of old objects reminded him of the ancient books left by his grandfather, and also of the system.

This system is really tricky; it only picks on rare and unusual things.

Ye Chen had a vague intuition that these ancient books might be traded later.

After a moment's thought, Ye Chen put away the eight ancient books and went to a nearby printing shop!

When the boss heard that Ye Chen wanted to make copies of all eight books, he immediately beamed with joy.

This is a big business deal!

In the end, the boss took the initiative to lower the price himself, printing each page for 5 cents!

Ye Chen was in a hurry and didn't bother to haggle over the price, urging them to print it quickly.

The print shop owner even called his wife to help, so they operated all four machines at the same time!

By the time all eight books were printed, it was almost 3:30.

The owner was very kind and bound the eight books together; the service was excellent.

Of course, Ye Chen was very generous with the money, giving away over a thousand yuan without hesitation.

If this money were used to buy new books, it could buy hundreds of kilograms!

The print shop owner probably had never seen anyone photocopy books like this before, and he wondered if he secretly laughed at Ye Chen for being foolish and rich.

No, we should say, give him a dozen more of these Gods of Wealth!

Ye Chen carried the heavy bag straight back to Longjin Residential Area, just as the trading system's cooldown period ended.

[Ding—Tradeable item detected. Do you wish to trade immediately?]

Ye Chen hurriedly opened the trade panel, and sure enough, there were several new items added to the list of tradable items.

[Wind and Thunder Seal], [Sword Control Technique], [Primordial Essence Pill], [Spirit Nourishing Pill]

Ye Chen's eyes lit up; sure enough, his intuition was correct.

The items required for the corresponding transactions are "The Complete Martial Arts Manual", "Flying Sword Technique", "Tianlong Temple Hard Qigong", and "Yi Jin Jing".

The last two items were modern printed materials, which was somewhat unexpected for Ye Chen.

Wouldn't that mean he copied six copies for nothing...?

But none of that matters anymore!

Ye Chen took out copies of "The Complete Martial Arts Manual" and "The Flying Sword Technique," wanting to make a deal first.

The embarrassing result was that the transaction couldn't be completed...

This this......

Ye Chen had a few words of utterance he didn't know whether he should say or not!

The item required for the transaction is an original copy of the book!

Why would he go through all that trouble to copy a Der?

He made eight copies.
