Transmigrated into a Grandpa, Embracing the Laid-Back Life

Chapter 136: The Basics of Formations

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

Su Ming's life had settled into an unprecedented state of tranquility and routine.

Every day at the mao hour, he would go to the Accounting Office on time.

Manager Liu Tong had long since stopped his initial harassment and would even proactively hand over some of the cleaner, simpler ledgers to him.

The other few menial disciples were also quite polite to him, always respectfully addressing him as "Mister Su" in their conversations.

Within this small Accounting Office, Su Ming had earned himself a rare measure of respect through his professional competence.

He would efficiently complete his daily tasks within half a day.

The remaining time, he would spend in the Accounting Office's library, flipping through the sect's old archives that were covered in layers of dust.

They recorded the Cloud Hidden Sect's various expenditures, resource allocations, and personnel changes over thousands of years.

To outsiders, this was just a pile of dry, boring numbers.But in Su Ming's eyes, it was a magnificent scroll depicting the entire operational veins of the sect.

He was like a dried-out sponge, frantically absorbing everything about this immortal world.

He even began consciously recording the regular resource consumption of different peaks and different affairs, silently constructing his own "sect operation model" in his mind.

Which areas had stable expenditures, which projects had abnormal fluctuations, which links might have redundancies or loopholes—he noted them all down one by one.

Every ten days, he would submit a compiled account analysis to Wang the fat man.

Each report would bring Wang the fat man a new surprise.

And these reports would ultimately be delivered to that secluded, tranquil room deep within the External Affairs Hall.

On this particular day, in the afternoon.

Elder Ma was sitting cross-legged in meditation when a steward from the External Affairs Hall hurried in with an anxious look.

"Elder, Disciple Chen from Formation Peak requests an audience, saying he has important matters to report."

"Let him in."

A moment later, a young man wearing Formation Peak disciple robes rushed in, his face full of agitation.

"Elder Ma!"

As soon as he entered, he began pouring out his grievances.

"You must do something about this! Those menial disciples the External Affairs Hall sent to our Formation Peak to maintain the Spirit Gathering Arrays are simply a bunch of idiots!"
