A Top Scholar in Everything
Chapter 1048 - 1034: Mobile Library
Because climbing the stone steps is time-consuming and laborious.
Many newcomers, like Baiyu, who are clueless about this place, would not choose to eat here at all.
After all, it's just eating.
In the Eclipse Moon Realm, one won't starve even without eating.
Eating at most is just a pleasure for the mouth.
After dismissing the idea of going to the cafeteria, Baiyu eliminated the other options one by one, and finally realized that the only choice left for him was to go to the library.
This place is called Silence Bookstore for a reason.
It houses many rare books and is the place with the largest collection in the world. Various mysterious techniques and bizarre tales can be found here.
The library.
It should be a super treasure trove.
Thinking of this, Baiyu was full of motivation, and he directly set off towards the library of Silence Bookstore.
Going to the library doesn't require climbing mountains.
Because this library is mobile, and to know where it is every day, you have to ask around.
This is what two insiders from the bookstore on the square told him earlier.
The library of Silence Bookstore is inside the belly of an Exotic Beast, and to enter the library, you have to go in through the beast's mouth.
And this Exotic Beast.
Roams inside the Silence Bookstore every day, with no fixed route, and whether you can encounter it depends on luck.
Of course, if you spend half a day looking for it, you should be able to find it.
When Baiyu heard this earlier, he felt extremely exasperated.
He wondered if the ruler of Silence Bookstore was a fitness enthusiast, always coming up with new tricks.
However.
Baiyu was very lucky; it only took him an hour to find the library in a valley.
It was a gigantic monster.
Approximately the size of a skyscraper, looking like a chubby balloon, somewhat resembling an angry pufferfish.
It was moving slowly, like a snail.
Baiyu took a deep breath and came to the monster, then saw it open its mouth and jumped in.
Unlike the damp, stinky scene he imagined before.
The inside of this monster was actually extremely dry, with a very tidy stone path, and street lamps hung on both sides.
It was obvious that this monster had undergone special modification, or it could be a mechanical creation.
Baiyu kept walking forward.
At the end of the path was a wooden door, and in front of the door sat an old man. He looked very spirited, and upon seeing Baiyu arrive, his eyes lit up.
Baiyu cautiously looked at the old man.
The other seemed like a librarian, but his gaze towards Baiyu was more like a shrewd merchant spotting a lucrative deal.
"Hehehe, are you new here? Haven't seen you before."
The old man rubbed his hands, appearing lewd: "I'm Wang San, the doorman of this library. You can call me Old Wang. You know the rules of the library, right?"
Baiyu shook his head: "What rules?"
"Entry ticket, this isn't a charity, of course there's a charge. But it's just symbolic, not expensive."
Wang San rubbed his hands together.
Baiyu was intrigued, as the other seemed more like an old merchant than a librarian.
"Do you accept currency? I have currencies from various countries on Canglan Star."
Baiyu was not short on money.
With the Qiong Ning Chamber of Commerce growing and his own foundation in the East Prosperity Imperial, money was just a number.
But here at Silence Bookstore, no one should want money.
"Talking about money is so vulgar."
Wang San shook his head like a rattle: "Here, it's barter or exchanging services."
"How does the exchange work?"
Baiyu got interested.
"Barter is simple, you give me something, if I find it valuable, I let you in.
As for exchanging services.
It means you help me with something, and I let you in."
Wang San said with a smile.
Baiyu eyed the wooden door that looked like it could be pushed open easily, but eventually dismissed the idea of forcing his way in.
Wang San probably wasn't someone to underestimate.
"Here, take this."
Baiyu pulled out a Magical Item from his pocket. Over the years, with many battles, he had accumulated quite a collection.
Wang San took the item, glanced at it, and fiddled with it for a moment before smiling, "This will do, you can go in."
Creaaak.
The wooden door slowly opened, revealing a vast space inside, with rows of bookshelves neatly arranged. Some books were piled together, while others were placed separately.
Some were even placed within a glow, clearly specially treated.
The bookshelves were numerous, stretching endlessly, and all looked the same, easily confusing people.
The only way to determine one's position was the numbers on the bookshelves.
Baiyu didn't rush to find a book to read, instead he walked along the bookshelves, wanting to determine how vast this floor of the library was.
He ended up walking for a full hour.
This was with Baiyu moving at a very fast pace.
There were a total of a hundred thousand large bookshelves, arranged neatly from one to one hundred thousand, with countless books on them, unlikely to be read even in a lifetime.
At the end of the library.
There was another door, but this one was made of stone, and another old man sat in front of it.
Baiyu only realized upon approaching that it was Wang San.
"How did you appear here?"
Baiyu squinted his eyes.
The old man chuckled, "Young man, Wang San is my brother, I'm Wang Er. Want to go in? The rules are the same as Wang San's, but I require something of higher value."
Baiyu wisely refused him.
The books on this floor already require quite some time to read even with Spirituality, so he decided to read first.
"Hehe, no rush, you can explore this floor first, if you're not satisfied, come find me later.
Just place your hand on the bookshelf, and with Spirituality, think about what you want to read, and the bookshelf will find the book for you." ππ£πππ ππππ¨π―ππ.ππ¨π
Wang Er advised.
Baiyu thanked him, and then used Wang Er's method to start searching for books on the bookshelf.
Soon.
Books automatically flew out from the bookshelf.
Baiyu had always been most interested in learning, and upon touching the books, he casually sat somewhere and immersed himself in study.
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, several days passed.
These days, Baiyu stayed inside the library, not stepping out, devouring the books inside one by one.
Even Wang Er was very surprised.
Because few can stay in the library for so long, focusing without distraction.
The books here mostly involved mysterious knowledge and mystical texts, and even those who are eager to read must constantly suppress mental corruption and whispers.
Yet Baiyu stayed here for several days, never raising his eyes, almost like turning into a stone statue, only moving when going to the bookshelf for more books.
