Chapter 22 The Real Purpose of Libraries

"I've seen your Romance of the Three Kingdoms, unless you rewrite a novel and make the characters in your novel have extraordinary power, it's better to honestly follow me to manage this library, your reflection character has no combat power at all!" The person sitting opposite Liu Xu said.

It's hard to imagine that this middle-aged man, who is tall and muscular, is actually the director of a library, a man of culture.

Early in the morning of the second day, Liu Xu arrived at the Academy of Literature, an hour earlier than the official start time.

But in the end, when Liu Xu entered the library to work, he was half an hour late, because the security robot at the gate of the Academy of Literature did not let Liu Xu enter the Academy of Literature at all, and it was not until the director was about to enter the Academy of Literature that he brought Liu Xu in by the way.

"This is the key to the library, you're finally here, and with you, I can sleep for a few more hours!" The director said happily and opened the door to the library.

It was already 10 o'clock in the morning, and the sign at the entrance of the library said that the library would open at 9:30 a.m., but fortunately, there were no students queuing up at the entrance of the library.

In other words, the entrance is unusually deserted, and the entire library is also in the most remote corner of the Bungaku, which is completely different from the other world, where a large number of students crowd into the university library every day.

But when I think about it, when all the novels are in the library, and you can read them directly as long as you use your mobile phone, I really can't understand what the meaning and value of the library is, and the only thing that remains is probably the ritual sense of paper books.

After that, the director began to explain the work to Liu Xu, which was not too complicated, that is, he arrived at the library at 9:00 every morning and made various preparations.

At 9:30, he opened the door on time, and then was responsible for a series of miscellaneous items such as sorting out the books in the library, returning to their places, placing them, counting them, etc., well, almost all the things in the entire library were taken care of by Liu Xu alone.

Such a large amount of work made Liu Xu's eyebrows furrowed, especially when he heard his curator's evaluation of his Romance of the Three Kingdoms, his brows wrinkled even more!

"What? Do you still have any questions? Seeing Liu Xu's appearance, the curator squinted his eyes and asked.

"A little!" Liu Xu nodded, hesitated for a while, and then asked, "Curator, why can't we even see a table and chair in our library?" ”

"Uh......" Hearing Liu Xu's question, the curator said with a strange expression, "Why are there tables and chairs in the library?" Are you still going to let people in to read books? ”

"Uh......" Liu Xu was stunned for a moment, isn't the library used to read books?

Of course, Liu Xu had already realized that there might be a certain difference between the library of this world and the library of the earth, so he decisively closed his mouth and asked some stupid questions to save himself.

"Yes, you are not a student of the Academy of Letters, and this kind of thing is not clear to many wild contract authors, so it is not surprising that you would have such a problem!" However, the curator took the initiative to think of a reason for Liu Xu, and then explained, "I know that in most novels, the library is a place for people to read books. You probably read these novels before you thought that the library was going to be open to the public. ”

"But these are the ignorant imaginations of the wild authors, because the real library is the place where the books are blocked!"

"Blocking books??" Even if Liu Xu wanted to pretend to be as calm as possible, his eyes still betrayed the shock in his heart.

"Yes, although this truth sounds a bit cruel, it is the truth!" The curator said lightly, "This world doesn't need too many books, let alone too much knowledge and wisdom, so all books that have nothing to do with novels must be sealed in the library!" ”

"Why?" Liu Xu couldn't help but ask.

"Because we want to preserve and save the world!" The curator said expressionlessly, "Books other than novels will either be extremely boring, or they will make readers understand a lot of things other than novels, so that their wisdom will begin to grow, their thinking will become broad, their thinking will be full of logic, and their eyes will become proud and critical of things." ”

"Isn't that good?" Liu Xu subconsciously asked rhetorically.

"Of course not!" The curator couldn't help but sneer, "Do you think that if everyone is wise, broad-minded, and likes logic and dialectic, then how many readers will be able to read those novels in the library?" ”

"Uh......" Liu Xu didn't speak.

"Let's take your teacher Luo as an example, the famous work and the only novel that is qualified to be reflected is called "The Best Sword in the Village is actually the Slaughter Divine Sword", if it were you, I am afraid that when you see this title, you will immediately lose interest in reading this novel!"

"After all, for you who can write "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the protagonist of this book will get an artifact in 10,000 words, and the princess will be favored by 30,000 words, and 100,000 words will sweep across the battlefield with a holy sword, and he obviously has 4 forbidden spells in his hand but he doesn't use any of them, but he has to use weapons to fight hand-to-hand. The protagonist, who is only 16 years old, can use some lame so-called wisdom to play a group of 61-year-old foxes, and finally was surprised to find that his father is the god of light, his mother is the god of darkness, and he himself is the novel of the son of light and darkness, I'm afraid I'm going to vomit blood after reading tens of thousands of words! ”

"Uh......" Liu Xu stopped talking, in fact, as long as he saw that the title of a book was more than 7 words, he would immediately throw it aside.

Why 7 words? Because "This Novel Is Healthy".

"You are such a smart person, I will talk about this, you should understand why you want to block books!" The curator asked rhetorically, Liu Xu nodded, and said naturally, "It turned out to be to reduce intelligence!" ”

"Intelligence?" The curator savored the new term for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's right, it's just to reduce the intelligence of this world, otherwise you won't be able to read novels written like your teacher." ”

"More than 90% of the world's contracted authors write that kind of thing, then 90% of the world's readers must also read it with relish, and even enjoy it, otherwise these 90% of the contracted authors will not be able to get the God-given text, then our world would have been ruined under the reflection of the world!"

"Of course, these methods are not entirely useful, the more books a reader reads, the more his taste will continue to improve, and eventually he will not want to read those garbage novels full of dog blood."

"And these people happen to be your readers, which is why you can break the world record, it is really rare for these people to find a novel like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, full of all kinds of complexity, detail, and at the same time logically flawless, constituting one after another exquisite theoretical closed loop, as if it exists in the real world!"

"Zhuo, if you don't write novels in the future, how will we, the readers, live!" Well, the last sentence was said by the curator himself in his heart, and Liu Xu didn't hear it.

"......" Liu Xu stopped talking, although this logic is very fucked, and at the same time, the means of reducing the intelligence of all the people in the whole world is definitely the worst act, but I have to admit that this is also a way to save the world, after all, you can't ask most of the signed authors to write works that are appreciated by both the elegant and the vulgar.

"But all of us know very well that only a wide range of books can make human society develop to a higher level, and if there are only novels, then we human beings will not be able to move an inch. It's just a compromise for the time being to cope with the world's reflection. The curator said.

"I understand that books are the ladder of human progress!" Liu Xu nodded and said.

"Hey, don't just pop out a sentence that is better than what I, the curator, said, okay?" The curator knocked Liu Xu's head, "In the future, our world will inevitably leave this void full of dimensional rifts, and return to a safe and no neighbor void, we will no longer need to sign the profession of author, and these books can once again help mankind move forward." ”

"But for now, these books are still here, banned by the library, but at the same time, they are protected until the day when they can be spread around the world!"
