Chapter 7 On the Importance of Reading
On the importance of reading
"Pony, how is the localization of the database going?"
"Drop! Host, due to the lack of data in this world, the database is updated slowly, and the analysis work is basically stagnant!"
"What about the progress of the Book of Refining Bodies?"
"Drop! Due to the material of the host's cultivation of the "Hull Breathing Method", the fourth localization adjustment of the "Body Refining Book" has been activated, which is expected to greatly improve the cultivation speed of the "Hull Breathing Method"! The estimated time for the adjustment to be completed is 221 days, 12 hours and 36 minutes!"
"How's the Wizard class model going?"
"Drop! There is not enough information about the wizard profession, and the progress is currently stagnant!"
In the past month, Matthew has devoted himself to the cultivation of knights, and has gained a lot! His physique, strength, and swordsmanship have made great progress, and he has become a qualified senior knight apprentice!
In this process, the auxiliary computing function of the chip has been vividly brought into play.
However, the continuous obstruction of the chip research program has gradually hindered Matthew's progress. This also made Matthew realize that he was going in the wrong direction!
The function of the auxiliary chip has not been fully utilized, and the powerful functions of memory, sorting, analysis and optimization of data are limited by the lack of data and cannot operate normally! This is undoubtedly a great waste!
Using the information of the previous world to analyze the behavior of this world is undoubtedly a fate of the wood!
As a child in the eyes of others, such a high-intensity cultivation is undoubtedly a bit of a quick success, and Matthew needs to adjust his pace as soon as possible!
"Pony, it's time to upgrade your database!"
Matthew returned to the room, took a hot shower, relieved the tension of the past month, changed into a decent casual clothes, slowly pushed open the courtyard door that had been closed for a month, and walked out!
Walking on the gravel path in the courtyard, the June sun is already a little scorching! There are still less than three months to go before the wizarding talent test, but Matthew still doesn't know anything about the so-called talent test! What is the wizarding world really like?
Matthew has a lot of things to deal with, from knightly training, to material collection, to various research!
Walking to the study in the front hall, Viscount Downton was sitting in a rocking chair reading a book, and when he saw Matthew coming in, he straightened up and said with relief, "Matthew! You have finally come out to breathe! The matter of practicing martial arts is to pay attention to relaxation! Blindly forcing yourself will have side effects! In this way, I will take you hunting today! Relax!"
"Father, I've been exerting myself a little too hard these past month! I don't want to do strenuous exercise now! Let me read a book in your study for a while!"
"Matthew, it's not good for boys to be bored at home, so let me send you to live with Earl Devon for a while, your Uncle Devon is the finance minister of the kingdom, and he has the largest library in the entire royal capital, if you want to read books, go there and read it!"
"Okay, thank you, Father!"
............
Earl Devon's manor is on the outskirts of the royal capital, covering an extremely large area! Matthew walked through the six inner walls to the front hall of the hospitality! Count Devon did not return, and the servants, after learning of Matthew's needs, were arranged by the butler to live next to the library!
After settling in, Matthew couldn't wait to come to the library building, and under the watchful eyes of the guards, he pushed open the door and strolled into this small two-story building. But the scene in front of him is very different from what Matthew had in mind!
The books in the building are not stacked on the shelves as in previous lives, and each book in it is placed on a mahogany tray, shrouded in a crystal cover. The whole library is magnificently furnished!
The most important thing is that the entire library only has a total of more than 1,000 books, which is not comparable to the ordinary libraries in the previous life!
"Hey, the knowledge of this world is really expensive! Even in the rural primary school library in the previous life, such a small inventory is really unavailable, I just hope that the quality of these books can surprise me!"
"Pony, get ready to get to work!"
Matthew walked to the first book, removed the crystal shield, gently stroked the silver-rimmed cover with his palm, and gently read out the title of the book: "On the Importance of Reading"! What an irony! The first book in the world he touched was such an explanatory work that persuades people to learn! It seems that God is inspiring himself in the dark!
"Pony, start scanning books! Build a database of the world! The name of the database is "On the Importance of Reading!"
Matthew quickly flipped the pages of the book, and the visual image formed by the pupil scanning the pages was quickly translated into text and stored in Matthew's brain!
A three-finger-thick book is scanned in less than a minute, and it will never be forgotten that this kind of learning efficiency can already be regarded as a superpower, a super talent!
There are more than 1,000 books in the entire library, and if you scan them continuously, it will take about 3,000 minutes! Matthew expects to spend a week here!
The scanning continued, and the only sound of flipping books echoed throughout the room. Fortunately, Matthew was the only one in the entire building, and the others would definitely not be able to understand his strange behavior!
For the next week, Matthew seemed to live in a library building, and three meals a day were delivered here by servants, and Matthew even suspended his most important cultivation and only maintained one hour of high-intensity physical training every morning!
Of course, Matthew's hard work has also achieved remarkable results, and the entire library has been copied out! The database of auxiliary chips has been greatly enriched, which has a good role in promoting Matthew's better understanding and integration into the world!
"Pony, scan the entire library to see if I miss anything!"
All the books have been backed up, but after scanning the structure of the entire building, the system found that the sum of the heights of the two floors did not match the height of the entire building, and there was a height error of 1.57 meters! After deducting the height of the floor slab, there was still 1.2-1.3 meters of space hidden! It is suspected that there is a hidden secret room. Please be patient with the host to locate the secret room, the collection inside may be beneficial to the host!"
Matthew was moved, silent, and began to walk back and forth throughout the second floor. Ostensibly browsing a book, in fact, Matthew stomps the middle of the wooden floor with every step, using the vibration feedback to explore the space beneath his feet!
The entire second floor is not a lot of space, and it didn't take long for Matthew to find a hollow floor in the southwest corner of the second floor, which should be the secret room below!
However, Matthew's mental power is still in a state of being sealed! For the time being, he can't directly mobilize his mental power to scan the internal structure of the secret room! Matthew can only crouch down, tap the floor and wall with his fingers, and use the resonance of sound to explore the mechanism of the secret room.
"Drop, the host, the mechanism has been analyzed, please use more than 130kg of force on the switch three times in a row!"
The chip marks the location of the switch on Matthew's retina, and Matthew continues to exert force!
"Knock! knock!"
The floor suddenly bounced upwards! I saw that under the floor was a one-meter-square storage space, in which three old sheepskin scrolls were quietly displayed, full of traces of history, waiting for people to discover!
