Chapter 594: A Chance Encounter After Renting a Book
In order to complete this task of finding books because of his own mouth, Bai Lidu had to leave the Old Summer Palace quickly, and before leaving, he also entrusted the ninth princess to Wen Feng, as for other weapons and armor, vehicles, horses, grain and grass that needed to be prepared before departure, he also let Wen Feng prepare.
Although this task of finding books gave him a game day, that is, 6 hours in reality, Bai Lidu knew that he didn't have so much time left, because the time he entered the Old Summer Palace every time he entered it was fixed, that is, he could only enter it at midnight in the game, so that he would have to return to the Old Summer Palace at half past 10 in the morning next time, otherwise this mission would definitely end in failure. When Bai Lidu left the Old Summer Palace, it was already past seven o'clock in the morning, and the time left for himself to find books was three hours at most.
According to his limited cognition, "The Legend of the Deer and Ding" was created by Mr. Jin Yong in the form of serialization in a newspaper in Hong Kong, and the time of its creation was still in the late 60s and early 70s of the last century, so if he continued to stay in the Old Summer Palace in 1860, he would definitely not be able to find this book, after all, even the author who created this book was not born, how could there be this book.
The background of the game itself is a thousand years after the catastrophe of the apocalypse, so it is almost impossible to find a book called "The Legend of Deer and Ding" in this era background.
In this case, Bai Lidu has no other choice but to return to Jinghua University in 1994 again, on the one hand, the timeline coincides, on the other hand, college students are the main readers of martial arts, and it should not be difficult for him to find a copy of "The Legend of Deer and Ding" in Jinghua University in 1994.
Bai Lidu came to the teleportation array in the main city again, and brought up a teleportation panel by tapping the special core parts, and selected the [Enter Historical Time and Space Copy] at the bottom:
- System Prompt: As a limited player who meets the requirements, you will be teleported to the campus of Jinghua University at 20:23:12 on October 9, 1994.
Be! Let's go!
"Whew! βββββ
The picture flashed, and Bai Lidu reappeared in the weeds where he had crossed for the first time.
According to his four-year college life experience, driven by the continuous consumption of college students for many years, there are usually many business models and businesses in the surrounding areas of universities, and near the side gate of the school near the living area is the most dense area of these businesses, among which there are likely to be one or two bookstores.
Sure enough, just across the street from the shopping mall where he and Ruolan bought clothes last time, Bai Lidu found a bookstore, although the store's faΓ§ade does not look big, but the business it is involved in is very complete, not only selling textbooks of various disciplines, postgraduate examination review books, all kinds of reference books, original English books of various subjects, English level 4 and 6 exam questions, but also including the business of recycling and leasing old books, these contents are also written on a white cardboard in front of the store, and the walls on both sides of the door are also covered with small advertisements for various exam tutorial classes.
Before entering the bookstore, he also opened the fashion mall and found the currency exchange function in it, exchanging the currency currency in the current time and space - 1,000 yuan:
- Time Mall system prompt: You are exchanging the current space-time circulation currency: [Chinese coins], exchange amount: [1000 yuan], the game currency required for this exchange is [20 gold coins], is it possible to exchange it immediately?
If the 20 gold coins are exchanged for the current Huaxia coins, there should be 10,000 yuan, but I didn't expect it to be able to exchange it for 1,000 yuan in the 90s.
After being deducted 20 gold coins by the system, there was an extra 1,000 Chinese coins in the package, and Bai Lidu entered the bookstore in front of him very calmly.
"Classmate, what book are you looking for?"
As soon as Bai Lidu entered, someone greeted him warmly, a middle-aged man with glasses who was sitting in the innermost part and facing the doorway, and the distance between himself and this person was rows of bookshelves.
This person should be the owner of the bookstore, since the other party is so active, then he doesn't have to bother looking for it in the shelves, so Bai Lidu walked directly to him and asked, "Boss, do you have any martial arts here?" β
The man with glasses also stood up and said, "Martial arts? Of course there is, who do you want to see write? I basically have everyone's own, like Jin Yong, Gu Long, Liang Yusheng, Wen Ruian, Wo Longsheng and other famous people have ......"
The reason why Bai Lidu did not directly say the title of the book he was looking for was also because he was worried that the system would dig another hole for him, so he was so obscure.
"Oh, I want to read the ...... Jin Yong wrote," Bai Lidu replied.
"Go to the middle two floors of the innermost row of bookshelves, they are all Jin Yong's, you can go in and choose by yourself." The man in glasses pointed his finger and sat down again.
Bai Lidu walked directly to the innermost row of bookshelves according to the direction he pointed, and the two floors in the middle were indeed Jin Yong's:
"Flying Fox Gaiden", "Snow Mountain Flying Fox", "Lian Chengjue", "Tianlong Babu" ......
The order of this placement can't help but make Bai Lidu think of a couplet arranged with the first words of Jin Yong's name in 14 articles, which is also called: [Flying snow shoots white deer in the sky, and the laughing book god leans on the blue duck]
Several of these novels are composed of several fascicles, and one of them is basically missing, obviously it was borrowed by someone, Bai Lidu was shocked, thinking that Lu Ding Ji must not be borrowed!
Deer and Ding Ji!
Sure enough, Bai Lidu found the "Deer and Ding Ji" he was looking for, the first, second, and fifth volumes, dizzy! The middle two volumes are missing.
Bai Lidu took down all the remaining three volumes on the shelf, and glanced at the remaining books behind him, none of which were complete.
"Hey......" Bai Lidu found a very thin booklet at the end of the bookshelf, and it was still an independent book, called "Yue Nu Sword".
Bai Lidu came to the table where the man with glasses was sitting with three volumes of "The Legend of the Deer and Ding" and one "The Sword of the Yue Woman" in his hand, put the book on the table, and said, "Boss, Lu Ding can't remember everything, where are the other two books?" β
"Oh, those two copies, I just borrowed them yesterday, and if you want to see them, you can only wait for the other party to return them...... Your three volumes, each deposit is 100 yuan, and you have to pay 6 yuan for each day you borrow, this thin book, I won't charge you a deposit, if you can return it in time, the rent will only charge you two yuan......" The glasses man said very fluently.
"Boss, can you sell me this book?"
Of course, Bai Lidu didn't want to rent the book, because the book would definitely be given to the Ninth Princess to read in the end, and it had already been given to others, so how could he come back and return it, so he had to buy the book back.
The other party obviously didn't expect Bai Lidu to come to buy books, so he said: "Classmate, the rules of our store are that you only rent books and don't sell books, and your set is incomplete, even if you buy it back, it is incomplete, and if the person who borrowed three or four volumes comes to return the book in a few days, if you can't see the fifth volume, you will definitely be disappointed, and it will definitely ruin my reputation if it spreads." β
What the other party said was so reasonable, and Bai Lidu couldn't force it to buy it anymore, and checked the task prompt of the "Nine Princes' main books" again, and the quantifiers described in it were actually "one", not "one", that is, as long as he brought back one of the volumes of "The Deer and Ding Ji" to the Nine Princesses, he should be able to complete this task.
Thinking of this, Bai Lidu was also relieved, and said to the boss: "Okay, I'll rent these four ......."
After paying a deposit of 300 yuan, and then paying a week's rent in advance, Bai Lidu put away the four books and walked out of the bookstore.
At present, he is equivalent to a two-front war, not only to prepare well for the task of "the danger of the northern border", but also to do the task of the Zhu Lingthallium poisoning case of the national detective, and there is still an obvious conflict in the time of returning the task, Bai Lidu was struggling in his heart whether to go to the sixth building of the girl to have a look, and he saw a pair of men and women coming out of a small restaurant next to him, and they should be students in their attire.
Bai Lidu checked the attributes of these two people by the way, and found that the girl among them turned out to be Zhu Ling, and the boy was called Huang Kaisheng, according to the information he had obtained from Xiaoyao before, this Huang Kaisheng should be the boyfriend Zhu Ling talked about when he was in school.
Bai Lidu also quietly followed behind the two and walked in the direction of the campus......
