Chapter 237: Jade Book Tower Is Still on the Path of Upgrading
The Jade Book Tower reads books without eyes, just a glance is enough. After a breath, the Jade Book Tower asked an obvious question.
[Why does it seem like the first book is unfinished, the second one starts to ramble, and the last one just ends abruptly?]
Zhang Ze chuckled awkwardly, "The first book has a sequel, but I didn't memorize it. The last two, one is an unfinished ending, and the other is eunuch-ed. But that's not the point; the point is, did you gain any inspiration from them?"
The Jade Book Tower didn't answer Zhang Ze's question but instead mused over the words "eunuch" and "unfinished," finding the metaphors quite apt.
A beautiful fox tail being ruined is indeed unappealing, and lacking below as a eunuch is also an apt metaphor.
Reasonable.
[Hold on...]
The jade scroll before Zhang Ze's eyes blurred, and even the words "hold on" began to tremble slightly. However, after a moment, they returned to normal.
"What were you up to?" Zhang Ze asked.
[Adding some tags to the books.]
The Jade Book Tower contains numerous books in its internal storage, some of which it has no authority to access. Most of the books it can view come from past ages and include supernatural tales, wilderness notes, and wild histories.
During the recent system upgrade, the Jade Book Tower took the time to organize some of these books. Some are indeed enjoyable but are frustratingly incomplete.
Now, having pondered the words "unfinished" and "eunuch," it became enlightened.
So the Jade Book Tower spent a bit of time sorting through these miscellaneous books, categorizing all the unfinished ones into the "eunuch" and "unfinished" bookshelves.
After accomplishing this minor task, the Jade Book Tower spoke.
[The gameplay known as Main God Space is quite good, but isn't it a bit too harsh? If a trial fails, it should simply release them. Besides, I can't accommodate so many people at the same time inside; it's impossible to let them live here indefinitely.]
"Naturally, we're a Righteous Sect, not kidnappers. We must make some slight modifications."
The Jade Book Tower glanced at the thick stack of white papers in Zhang Ze's hand.
[Are these your suggestions?]
"Indeed, they are."
Seeing the Jade Book Tower's interest piqued by his proposition, Zhang Ze began sketching a bright future blueprint for the Jade Book Tower.
How to provide Trial Takers with a 'like a breath of fresh air' trial experience, how to establish rules adapted to the new era, how to ensure every participant's moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic, and labor development, and how to plan reward and task inheritance mechanisms.
All practical information.
After listening to Zhang Ze's explanation, the Jade Book Tower was quite satisfied, feeling these suggestions truly beneficial.
Seeing the Jade Book Tower in such a good mood, someone was ready to try and take further advantage.
But was refused mercilessly.
"About this ban..." Zhang Ze asked quietly as he gathered his letter paper.
[No, three months means three months, not a day less.]
"Indeed, not a day less. Senior Brother, you must truly reform and become a new person." Junior Sister patted Zhang Ze's shoulder, indicating she would not tolerate any leniency.
"Weren't you banned too? Help me speak up." Zhang Ze asked.
"It's only fourteen days for me. I'll be out soon. If you calculate the time correctly, it'll coincide perfectly with the Jade Book Tower's upgrade completion." Junior Sister crunched into a bag of chips as she spoke.
The little boat of love was thus temporarily stranded.
But that's not important. What's important is the Jade Book Tower accepted Zhang Ze's suggestions, achieving a win-win result for both the person and the tower.
The Jade Book Tower found its direction for further perfection, whilst Zhang Ze initiated a new project for the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion.
After the cooperation was finalized and the Jade Book Tower itself consented, the full name of the Jade Book Tower outwardly became [Thousand Mechanism Pavilion · Jade Book Tower]
This was the result of Zhang Ze's careful consideration and seeking guidance from his elders.
Top artifact spirits are notoriously headstrong; pressing them might indeed lead to their destruction.
It's unnecessary.
So why not tackle it together, and make some money along the way?
With the idea that there's strength in numbers, Zhang Ze had already come to a complete understanding. Speaking of cooperation, the Sword Sect and Dragon Tiger Mountain, which engaged in deep cooperation linked by the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion recently, have both profited greatly.
Anyway, whatever the perspective, it's faster than climbing the tower alone with painstaking effort.
...
Several days later, in Thousand Mechanism Town.
A crowd gathered around the notice kiosk.
On the crystal board, the news about the upgraded version of the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion Underground City, the [Ultimate Invincible Jade Book Tower], opening soon was displayed prominently in the largest font.
Truth be told, even without Thousand Mechanism Pavilion saying anything, many informed individuals had been inquiring about the Jade Book Tower recently.
There was no help for it; the Jade Book Tower is too tall and conspicuous. Positioned near the outskirts of Thousand Mechanism Town, it's hard to miss, even for the visually impaired.
"Pay up, I won the bet. I told you the Jade Book Tower and the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion Underground City are pretty much the same thing." The thin fellow held out his hand to the chubby companion beside him.
"I don't believe it. We aren't exactly inexperienced, how could such miraculous illusion techniques exist in this world; it's all marketing, just marketing." With Zhang Ze's influence, these new terms weren't uncommon in Thousand Mechanism Town, as the chubby fellow casually remarked.
"I think you're just bitter you can't have it. The first people to test it are those famous in the Underground City rankings; it has nothing to do with a fool outside the top hundred like you."
"Huh, sour grapes if you can't get it."
The thin guy scornfully looked at his companion, who had recently picked up some bad habits, now showing a bit of achievement discrimination in his words and deeds.
As the saying goes, those beyond the top hundred in the ranking are too insignificant to remember, only ranks exist beyond fifty, while only those within fifty have names worth remembering.
