Chapter 1878 Entrustment
"In addition, you can enjoy book reading at the reading hall located on floors 7 through 12. Books can be borrowed after registration, but they must remain within the premises of the hotel. Please ensure the books are kept in good condition. Thank you."
Book borrowing...Seemed like a good idea.
He might find books related to beast taming.
Fang Heng pondered and decided to take the elevator to the seventh-floor reading hall to assess the situation.
The elevator opened onto a sizable reading hall.
The entire floor was set up like a library.
Players were scattered around tables, engrossed in reading.
Following the signs, Fang Heng purposefully searched until he found his target amid a stack of bookshelves in a corner.
There were twelve bookshelves.
They were laden with books on beast taming.
About eighty books per shelf, estimated to be around a thousand books!
And they were focused on the rather obscure subject of beast taming.
The Library of the Myriad Worlds lived up to its name.
Thinking about it, Fang Heng reached for a book on the shelf.
A game Hint flashed across his vision.
[Hint: Player has discovered the book, "Communicating with Magical Pets".]
[Hint: This book is safeguarded. Placing it in your backpack without permission will attract hostility from certain characters.]
"Good. The game acknowledged the books." Fang Heng thought to himself. It eased Fang Heng's mind somewhat.
Next, he needed to confirm if bringing the book into the game world would cause any other effects.
If it didn't affect him, he could utilize the game's abilities to bring the book back and have the zombie clone assist in reading it!
A quick boost in skill experience points!
Not just in beast taming, but in other academics too!
Fang Heng felt he stumbled upon a significant treasure.
If he could transport all the books from the Library of the Myriad Worlds into the game world for the zombie clone to read...
That efficiency far surpassed attending classes at school!
Feeling like he had unearthed another game bug for swiftly gaining skill experience points, he casually picked up ten books on beast taming and proceeded to the front desk for borrowing and registration.
Behind the counter, the mechanical attendant checked the books and inquired, "You wish to borrow ten books. It requires a total deposit of 7260 points. Damages to the books will incur proportional compensation. Additionally, borrowing for a few days will cost 126 points."
So expensive?
Fang Heng was taken aback.
He recalled having only slightly over 3000 points on his card. He had spent a mere 0.03 points on a feast earlier.
"Each book's value and rarity determine the deposit and borrowing fee."
"Forget it, I only need this one."
Fang Heng didn't argue further. He picked out a book from the thick stack and presented it for registration. Then he inquired again, "How do I obtain points on the card? Is it through currency exchange? What's the exchange rate?"
"I'm sorry, sir. Knowledge is invaluable."
"Huh?"
"Of course, you can exchange knowledge for knowledge. You can take on some of the commissions at the Library of the Myriad Worlds. Completing these commissions earns points. Furthermore, aiding the library in expanding its collection also earns points."
"In addition, the library collaborates with the outside world and offers some external cooperation commissions. These specific commissions require leaving the library premises to complete. Fulfilling them also rewards points."
It seemed earning points wasn't as straightforward.
The Library of the Myriad Worlds. Intriguing...
"That's where the challenge lies!" He thought.
Muttering to himself, Fang Heng nodded, "I understand, thank you."
"You're welcome. Your book borrowing registration is complete. You may take the book with you, but please refrain from taking it outside the Library of the Myriad Worlds."
Fang Heng accepted the book.
The additional game Hint in the book had altered.
[Hint: You've borrowed this book. Failing to return it within the specified time will decrease your friendship with the Library of the Myriad World and result in a reduced favorability rating from some characters.]
He decided back to the room!
First, he would test if bringing books into the game world could yield experience, then figure out a way to earn points.
Ten minutes later, Fang Heng brought the registered book to his room, stowed it in the game backpack, and smoothly entered the game cabin to return to the world.
[Hint: Your zombie clone is using the skill 'Efficient Reading' to read the book 'Communicating with Magical Peta'.]
Fang Heng observed as the zombie clone began reading the book, a channeling bar slowly advancing above its head. Satisfied, he logged off once more.
Today seemed unusually smooth, everything proceeding according to plan.
The next step was finding a method to accrue more points.
Reading book after book was too slow.
His undead duplicate was his ace.
He needed to step up his game!
Fang Heng headed to the mission commission hall on the third floor to investigate.
At the information desk, Fang Heng engaged in a one-on-one conversation with the mechanical counselor, getting a grasp of some key information.
Any valuable books could be exchanged for points at the Library of the Myriad Worlds.
Finding rare books would certainly bring in a substantial haul.
This was the primary source of points for ordinary players.
Moreover, players could document their personal experiences and insights across various academic fields in books.
Upon completion, the Library of the Myriad Worlds would evaluate these writings.
However, for players not adept at writing, the Library of the Myriad Worlds offered mechanical servants to aid in book creation.
This service came at a cost in points.
For most players, their volume reviews often yielded very low ratings, making them nearly impossible to exchange for points. They also had to pay for the assistance to write these books.
In essence, writing books was a losing endeavor!
Glancing at the mechanical counselor again, Fang Heng continued, "Are there any missions suitable for me? It seems most of the tasks here involve imparting academic information and tutoring."
Fang Heng still felt a tinge of guilt.
His academic level had been forcefully elevated by Mission rewards and experience points.
Establishing a solid foundation in the information system was elusive.
If he still had points, he might consider hiring a professional to explain things thoroughly.
Fang Heng believed that, with his current capabilities, he could at best dupe a gamer just entering the foundational discipline level.
"We can conduct a specialized series of tests for you. Following the tests, we'll assess your level and recommend a fitting mission."
Fang Heng furrowed his brow.
Gu Qingzhu had cautioned him previously that the corresponding exam would record his identity and various academic skills, potentially leading to data leaks.
Presently bound to the identity of Ms. Amanda's husband, which was essentially anonymous, undergoing the exam and registration might expose his information to the Federation.
It increased the risk of Federation detection.
"No need for the test."
Fang Heng declined the testing invitation. "Give me a commission form. Exclude those in the teaching category. I'd like to see requests from all other types."
"Understood."
The mechanical consultant promptly printed out the list, handing it to Fang Heng. "Here's the recent request list categorized by type. Please review."
