Chapter 60: The Library
Library, located in the center of the college.
The symmetrical shape of the central axis sets off the stable and rigorous scholarly temperament, and the quiet color shows the beauty of elegance and tranquility.
Although there are only five floors in total, each floor has nearly 3,000 square meters, and the books inside reach as many as seven figures, which is really magnificent and magnificent!
After getting the [Shenyuan Flow] skill book, the first place that came to Chu Chen's mind was here.
"Hopefully something will be rewarded." Chu Chen muttered to himself and walked into the library quickly.
Pushing open the door, the interior was furnished like most of Bluestar's libraries—wooden bookcases neatly placed together, with books of different colors stacked on them.
Picking up a book casually, shaking off the dust that was enough to cover the title of the book, Chu Chen frowned slightly:
"Ahem, the teacher's office is the same, the library is too, why are they so much gray? Isn't this academy cleaned by anyone? ”
Wasn't it only five days after the fall of the Empire?
If you don't sweep for five days, you will become like this?
Chu Chen felt that something was wrong, opened the book and took a look: "Detailed Explanation of the Foundation of the Power System"? ”
In the blink of an eye, Chu Chen became interested and turned two pages back.
Nothing special, mainly to introduce the three power systems in the world - physical body, divine power, and spiritual power.
is similar to what Chu Chen learned in the Paradise Forum, in fact, no matter how advanced and how the skills change, they can't escape the framework of these three systems.
He suddenly remembered the description of "divine power" that popped up in Paradise when he first checked his "attributes".
[Heaven and earth have spirits, all things have essences, in the vast history, it has been given many names - Qi, spiritual power, fighting energy, magic, yuan power...... And here, we call it divine power. 】
I think of the last trial, the "magic" in the worldview, and the "spiritual power" here.
Chu Chen had a guess in his heart: "Although the name may be slightly different, is the essence of each world's power system actually the same?" ”
Nodding and putting the book in his hand back in place, Chu Chen quickly found another interesting book according to the category of books.
The World: We Are Not the Chosen One, We Are Not the Only One
The author's name is "Jebron Lane", and Caesar is the same family.
The book is basically about the fact that the author, Jebelon, discovers that as an archmage, he always receives some strange soul reactions, and the space of their world always fluctuates inexplicably.
He prepares to investigate, and while he finds no real clues, he deduces from all odd signs that another world may be trying to border them.
Jebron also argues that the pursuit of divinity is the first need of all civilizations, and that civilizations are constantly growing and expanding, but the total amount of resources in a world remains the same.
When the resources are exhausted, in order to continue the pursuit of divinity, they will inevitably explore, develop, support, enslave and even plunder the low-level civilizations.
Once a low-level civilization is discovered, it will inevitably be destroyed by other high-level civilizations.
"Isn't this the law of the Dark Forest...... Could it be that the strange soul reaction you felt back then was the three-body problem?! ”
Chu Chen couldn't help but complain, and silently turned the book to the last page.
"They don't believe me".
The ordinary six big characters hit people's hearts.
Even if it is a theory put forward by "the youngest great magister in history", it is still not recognized by the public.
There is no other reason, arrogance.
This world can't study the "world shuttle technology", and they can't even discover the existence of other worlds.
They are a powerful empire that has ruled the continent for hundreds of years, invincible, and overlooking the world!
They...... Unwilling to admit that he is a "low-level civilization".
The only lesson that humanity can learn from history is that humanity does not learn any lessons from history.
Excessive arrogance has led to the invasion of homes, the tragic deaths of teachers, and even the arrest of students for human experimentation.
"The lesson of blood, you only know that it hurts when you are beaten." Chu Chen closed the book, and an idea suddenly popped into his head,
"If this kind of superhuman world with all the staff is considered a 'low-level world', wouldn't Blue Star be even more pulled?"
"But why is the Blue Star so peaceful? What is Blue Star to Eternal Paradise? A small world supported by slavery? Or ......"
Chu Chen rubbed his temples and slowly opened his mouth: "Eternal Paradise was created by Blue Star. ”
He has read a lot of infinite stream novels, and he is no stranger to the operation mode of "travel mission" in the park.
But unlike some cold and unforgiving Lord God spaces, Eternal Paradise has always given people a "relatively mild" feeling.
Specially written "Paradise Instructions" for newcomers, lock [Shop] and [Transaction] to prevent newcomers from being deceived.
The trial world or area controlled by the paradise will give you a "gold medal for avoiding death", and the treatment will be free after completing the trial, and there is also a special rule that "the old man will not be allowed to bully the newcomer".
It's really so gentle!
Therefore, Chu Chen believes that Eternal Paradise was created by a certain great power of Blue Star.
Even if it wasn't, the people who created it were friendly to Bluestar, or at least an alliance.
"I hope so, I don't want to work under the guys who enslave the Blue Star." Chu Chen smiled and put the book away.
There was nothing left to explore on the first floor, and gently patting the ash on his hands, Chu Chen walked up the stairs on the second floor.
Coming to the second floor, the layout here is similar to the first floor, simply rummaging twice, there is nothing worth noting.
The same is true on the third and fourth floors, although there are many books, most of them are some human geography, customs and people.
Almost ninety percent of the books are not helpful to Chu Chen, they can only be said to be useless.
It wasn't until Chu Chen stepped down the stairs to the fifth floor that a tingling pain suddenly came from his brain, his eyes suddenly blurred, and the surrounding space seemed to be distorted in an instant.
The vision only lasted less than a second before returning to normal, Chu Chen covered his head and frowned: "What's the situation, this is ......?"
"Do you want to borrow books? Child. ”
The old man's voice was like a candle in the wind, and there was a weakness that was difficult to hide.
Chu Chen took a step back casually, and glanced at the source of the sound.
It was an old man wrapped in a black robe, the old man's hair was about to fall out, the left half of his face was covered with sparse age spots, and the right side of his face was covered by a black hat, and he could vaguely see the white bones of Sensen.
"Well, I'm going to borrow books, mother-in-law." Chu Chen pretended to be relaxed,
"I'm looking for advanced books about Shenyuan Stream, but I don't know where they are, can my mother-in-law help me find them?"
Chu Chen wanted to break the old man away, because after coming to the fifth floor, he found that it was a bit strange.
The space is wrong.
The space on the fifth floor is more cramped than the other fourth, and although the width and height are the same, the length looks significantly shorter than the outside.
Does it seem that there is a secret room or something?
"Shen Yuanliu? I'm too old to move. The black-robed mother-in-law stretched out her withered arm and pointed behind Chu Chen,
"It's in that bookcase, go get it yourself."
"Oh good, thank you, mother-in-law." Chu Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, his hand reached into his clothes, ready to take out the kitchen knife at any time.
Just as he was about to turn around, a familiar male voice suddenly sounded: "Chu Chen, I found the book you wanted, come down." ”
Chu Chen was stunned for a moment, there was only one person in this academy who could call his name: "I'm looking for you, squad leader." ”
Before he could say a few words, the squad leader suddenly grabbed his arm and dragged him to the stairs on the fourth floor: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry down." ”
Chu Chen frowned, only then did he find that the squad leader's face was pale, and his expression was indescribably sluggish.
"You ......"
Before the words could be spoken, the squad leader opened his mouth to interrupt him:
"Chu Chen, there's no time, I can't go into too much detail, then you listen carefully to what I say."
