Chapter 17: Advanced system
After agreeing on a revision plan, Roger drove all the consultants home for the day.
This job can not be finished in one day.
He, who had used all his mental strength, just sat in the office for ten minutes.
Just looking at the records of the rise of the queen was enough to give a person an extremely heavy feeling.
Modern people who grew up in a peaceful age are a little meek
But the strange thing is that Roger's mood is a rare calm after passing through in this world these days.
After locking the door of the office, Roger went back to the Duke's Palace.
Angelina was surprised that he came home late.
"I was reading a very interesting book and lost track of time without realizing it."
Roger explained softly.
Angelina didn't ask any further questions and hugged her brother.
She felt that her brother was different today.
That book should be more than just interesting.
But it seemed he didn't want to say anything right now. She would wait until he felt he wanted to talk about it.
He ate and washed up.
Roger was lying on the bed when the time was nearing midnight.
He couldn't fall asleep for a long time. He was constantly thinking about how to show the real history of that period.
Midnight.
"Ding, the Acedia System detected that the host was emotionally stable yesterday. Obtained a random treasure chest. Do you want to open?"
"Ding, the Acedia System detected that the host has entered the flow state for the first time. Additional random treasure chest rewarded. Do you want to open?"
Roger suddenly opened his eyes and sat up in surprise.
Yesterday was so busy, but he still met the standard of loafing around?
This system...
It seemed to be more interesting than his previous understanding.
"Open."
"Congratulations to the host for acquiring advanced architectural design skills."
"Congratulations to the host for acquiring the talent for multi-casting (a single cast of a spell has a 20% chance of being casted two times, 10% chance of casting three times, and a 1% chance of being casted 5 times)."
Roger looked at the two powerful rewards and fell into thought.
He found that he had a shallow understanding of "loafing around" before.
The first meaning of loafing around is, of course, that I don't try my best, I accept the status quo.
But is accepting the status the same as doing nothing and living in emptiness?
While he was loafing around, he met the system criteria and got a treasure chest.
But yesterday, he worked overtime to compile the history of the empire, and he was exhausted. he even thought about his work before going to bed... But he also got a treasure chest?
There was also the keyword prompted by the system, the so-called "flow state".
Putting the "flow state" aside for now. You consider it loafing around even when I spend all day working?
Something's wrong with the system!
Roger originally thought that he had already grasped the system's mechanics, but it seems like his understanding is still inadequate.
He would very like to call the system out, translating what is the special "loafing around".
But the system was still an icy goddess, completely ignoring him.
Roger could only try to guess.
The word loafing around appears in modern society.
The hell-level survival difficulty of the metropolis, the overloaded work pressure, the impossible dream of buying a house and getting married, being surrounded by madness and struggling with no way to ascend...
As a result, a family of loafing around emerged, similar to the low-desire life of the Sakura Country, the Nit family of the Great Country, the homing family of the Beautiful Country...
However, some people are passively loafing around, and some people are actively choosing.
For instance, when a big city person goes back to his hometown and looks for an easy job. The kind of person who is too lazy to think about love and marriage, who just does what they like, and who maintains a life of just living.
Sanhe the Great God is loafing around（Sanhe refers to a Chinese people）.
Civil servants in small towns may also be loafing around.
Living day by day is also loafing around.
Relaxed.
It is true that drinking and singing wildly is a kind of loafing around.
But thinking more deeply, the key to loafing around is not to be coerced by worldly success and to only do things that you agree with.
If you live in such a manner, no matter how much effort you put in, you're still just loafing around.
Roger suddenly felt that the system was becoming philosophical.
"It turns out that my heart likes to dig up the queen's dark history?"
Roger laughed to himself.
Of course, this is just a joke.
He knew that what he liked to do was to discover the truth, express, and share.
Then I was shocked by the melon eaters, secretly hiding some private work for export, and gaining recognition.
Isn't it because you have a clear understanding of the game events that others don't and now you intend to use it for fame?
Later, he had found out that his videos were popular and he could support himself.
Although it was full of uncertainty, he still gave up his work in the office and chose this difficult path instead, all to express himself.
It had been difficult.
The income was also not satisfactory.
During the bottleneck period, he had wanted to give up countless times.
There have been many failed attempts.
Family and friends don't understand him either...
But he still persevered.
But wasn't it fun to just play games for work?
Heh, what "playing games for work"? Taking notes while playing through the plot again and again until he almost vomited, how could there be any joy of playing a game left?
Editing the history of the empire is not like making a video, but there are bound to be similarities.
Wasn't it also a form of self-expression to expose the real face of the queen after the Manuel City Incident that few people know about?
That is the embodiment of Roger's view of history.
As for his original intention of offending the Queen of Eternal Night and having her dismiss him from office, he forgot about it when he got to work.
"As long as you are being a happy and true self, and satisfying this point, is hard work also in line with the system's reward standards?"
Roger tried to deduce the original intention of the system.
As for whether this inference is correct...
Let's use tomorrow's work to verify it!
No, it’s today.
He showed an expectant smile and soon entered the dream.
……
……
For three days in a row, Roger went to the big library early in the morning, and then came back late at night.
Angelina felt sorry for him but didn't stop him.
It seems that my brother finally found something he likes.
It's just that she is also very busy, so she doesn't have much time to care about what Roger is doing.
When he achieves his goal, will he tell me about it?
Angelina had been very busy lately.
The "Recovery Army" had brought massive wealth and was collecting money for the imperial treasury through secret channels.
Although Angelina did not know the details of her actions, she had already guessed some things and maintained tacit cooperation with Her Majesty and Margaret.
With such a large amount of financial support, many of the empire's previous plans that only existed on paper can now be implemented.
Roger, on the other hand, devoted himself entirely to the editing of the Manuel City Incident.
I have mastered the truth, but expressing this thrilling history in the simplest of words without any hints whatsoever is an extremely difficult task.
After all, the overall history of the empire is not a personal biography of the queen. It would be too obvious if he used that to fill a period.
He has to consider the overall proportions.
With so many opinions to choose from, Roger repeatedly discussed them with his expert advisors.
Curator Rodney was also curious to see the results of Roger's editing...
But after only reading the first three pages, he was too frightened to approach this office.
Wasn't this Dio too bold?
He looks very smart, but there is a madman under his beautiful skin?
After meeting Roger again, Curator Rodney's eyes were extremely complicated.
There is admiration and appreciation , as well as sympathy and regret.
He's a talent, but I'm afraid he won't live long.
So these days, Curator Rodney ordered people to prepare meals for Recorder's Office according to some extremely high standards.
I'm afraid he won't live long. Might as well give the guy some good food while it lasts.
Whatever kind of information and additional funds to visit the witnesses of that time that Roger needed, the Curator readily approved it.
Curator Rodney did not dare to share the responsibility with Roger, so he could only express his appreciation for this young man with silent support.
There aren't many young people in the empire who dares to defy the queen.
But such characters are needed in the empire if it wants to exist for a long time.
This is a gesture of giving up, repaying Her Majesty.
I'm just afraid that Her Majesty won't like it.
What he didn't know was that Roger was also testing the system.
Through hard work, he successfully obtained three system treasure chests.
Although he didn't offer anything priceless, he didn't give any additional rewards.
But it was enough for Roger to confirm that his latest judgment on the Acedia System was correct.
Acedia, is not limited to loafing around, but can also mean focusing and devoting yourself to an enjoyable task .
As long as it is what you think is right and are happy.
And so, another week has passed.
The historian Dio Brando and his advisors compiled the main text of the history book from the completion of the Manuel Incident to the defeat of the Kingdom of Vanbrugh.
According to the work schedule, this is the sixth edition.
The sixth edition adds up to the length of the first five editions.
