Galactic Technological Library

Editors and Proof Reader: Delther, Dervish

Hearing the question from Lihi, Fu Yan let out a smile and replied with a calm and collective voice. 

"If you are to buy the finished medicine then it's going to cost you the 13% energy of a medium-size planet and the book requires 65% energy of the same with the borrowing period of 6 Hynes (20 years)."

After stating the price, Fu Yan shifted his attention to Lihi's face similar to how a businessman would look at his customer, eager to get an answer from them but unfortunately, his face had no emotions. 

Upon hearing the details, Lihi was caught in deep thought and couldn't decide for a while. 

Fu Yan calmly sat down on the side without making any kind of movements. Even though he wanted to sell the finished product because that way, he would get the most profit but, he could not influence the choice of the customers. 

After contemplating for quite a while, Lihi let out a sigh and turned his head towards Fu Yan while slowly opening his mouth.

"Sir, I would like to buy the finished medicine for now. We don't have the energy to buy and manufacture the medicine with our current capabilities but we will surely buy it in the future."

Fu Yan smiled hearing the response as he asked with the same warm smile. 

"It's not a problem Mr. Lihi. We respect your choice as you are paying for what you buy. As for the book, I will reserve it for you for 10 Hynes (33 years). You will be the only one to borrow this book during this period. So! How many medicines would you like to buy?"

Lihi thought for a while then answered with a soft tone. 

"Sir, we would like to buy the medicine for 2 persons."

"Well said! I will need you to follow the same procedure again for the payment. We will collect 26% of energy from the planet this time. You should know that after this round of energy extraction, the planet will become unstable and the chances of it exploding will increase because of the instability of the core. So my suggestion here is that you buy another medicine and or some other service from the Library so as to not waste the energy from the planet."

Of course, the planet won't explode that easily and it will take at least another 20 to 30 years for it to completely explode. It's just that Fu Yan was trying to maximize his profits.

"You can buy the medicine or pay the energy to increase your level in the Library. With the remaining energy on the planet and your purchase of medicine, I can give you some discount and increase your level to B-. You should know that customers of level B or higher are exclusive customers of the Library. There are many benefits, like an exclusive reading zone in the Library or a 2% discount starting from B- and so on."

Fu Yan tried his best to tempt Lihi to give the remaining energy of the planet to the Library and it seemed to work as Lihi's eyes shined after he heard the benefits on Level B and above. 

So After thinking for a bit, he immediately nodded his head and replied.

"Then I will follow your suggestions. Instead of losing the energy, I can use it in the Library."

A smile appeared on Fu Yan's face after hearing this and then he followed the same procedure as before and dispatched a collector from the Library.

After the collector arrived on the planet, it started to collect energy slowly. Unlike before, its mission this time was to completely suck this planet dry of any kind of energy.

So as it kept on collecting the energy, volcanoes erupted everywhere on this planet. The surface started to crack as lava started to burst through it. 

Despite all this happening, the Collector stood at its place and kept on collecting the energy. The more it collected, the higher the intensity of volcanoes of the planet became, then suddenly all the lava and shaking stopped. 

At this moment, the Collector stopped collecting and then prepared to leave. A white started to shine around it while it disappeared from the planet.

Moments after the departure of the Collector, the planet shook visible to the naked eye and then burst apart. It exploded and sent a shockwave in space that affected the planets near it and earthquakes appeared on those planets too. 

But after some time, these effects lessened and gradually disappeared. 

While all this was happening, Fu Yan was sitting in the room with Lihi, focused on the transparent screen in front of him. 

He saw all that happened on that planet and after watching all this, he could not help but let out a sigh, thinking what would happen if the same thing was done on a planet with intelligent species living on it. 

Just when he was wondering this, a notification popped up on the screen in front of him, stating that the collection was done and the Collector was waiting for his arrival in the Library to transfer the energy from its container to the Library.

Fu Yan unconsciously gave a nod and then closed the screen in front of it while shifting his attention towards Lihi.

"We have harvested the energy from the planet completely and the planet has exploded. As for the products you bought, they will be delivered to you after I go back to the Library. As for your level, It will also be adjusted when I get back because it will require a manual operation to shift a customer to Level B or above. I hope that you don't mind that."

After saying this, Fu Yan paused for a little and continued again. 

"Now that official business is done, I have something personal to discuss with you." Even though Fu Yan said this, his voice still contained authority and firmness. 

Lihi looked at Fu Yan with strange expressions because he could not think of anything that might incur the interest of the mighty Librarian. 

While he was wondering what the Librarian wanted to discuss, Fu Yan continued.

"I saw the star map in the previous base and noticed that you planned on going to another unexplored galaxy to look for new planets and resources. It happens to be that I have a base on one of the planets in that galaxy so I just wanted to remind you that you must be careful to not damage that planet or its environment as I live there."

When Lihi heard this, he felt like someone had dropped a bomb on him. How could he not know what Fu Yan was talking about? 

Recently their exploration base discovered a new galaxy that has many life planets. When they discovered this galaxy, they borrowed the knowledge from the Library and then came to know that this galaxy had many unowned planets and many of them contained life. 

It's just that only some small solar systems contained life that they could fight against. As for others, they were occupied by the beings who could contend with them easily. It's just that these beings aren't aggressive and stay in their respective solar system without disturbing the others. 

They also found some solar systems that have low-level life forms and they planned on occupying them. 

Now when he heard that Fu Yan had a base on one of these planets, how could he not get disappointed. All these preparations were for this exploration but it seems they were going to be wasted.

Seeing the dejected look on Lihi's face, Fu Yan smiled and then explained in a serious tone.

"I am not saying that you can't attack those planets. You can do whatever you want. I just want you to not destroy the planet or make the environment bad. My base will have the Library mark on it, so you can easily recognize it. All you need to make sure is to not harm people who wear the same logo on that planet. As for the others, you can do whatever you want. I won't stop you."

When Fu Yan explained things more clearly, the smile returned on Lihi's face and then he replied in an excited tone.

"Sir Librarian, please don't worry. I will make sure to follow your instructions."

Hearing the reply from Lihi, Fu Yan smiled and then got up to leave. 

"Well then, since my business here is done then I will leave."

After saying that Fu Yan started to walk towards the exit and under the guidance of the commanders, he walked outside.

Then a white started to shine around him and within a second, he disappeared from the [Ligrion].

After disappearing from [Ligrion], Fu Yan appeared in the same white space. When he appeared here, Fu Yan knew that it will take a few more moments before he appeared in the Library so he started to think about his future plans. 

Just when he was immersed in his thoughts, the book on his chest suddenly started to flash with red light and a warning popped up in front of him. 

Before he even had the time to look at the warning, Fu Yan felt as if he was hit by a truck and then his mind blacked out. 

…

On the planet [Ligrion], the same person who was stalking Fu Yan ever since he came to this planet, lowered the golden gun. The figure then looked towards the sky once again and then gently shook its head as if disappointed by something.

It was as if this person could see Fu Yan who was currently drifting in the white space, deviating from his original path.
