Chapter 49 The Great Treasure Hunt in the Sea of Books
The library's main entrance is located on the side, which means it is at the farthest point from the central axis of symmetry.
Mingzhao pushed his agility of 93 to the limit, running in the direction of a 100-meter sprint towards the axis of symmetry.
After about five minutes, she finally saw something that looked like a mirror.
In the mirror, bookshelves and books are displayed in perfect symmetry with those on this side.
Mingzhao reached her hand towards the mirror, and as she expected, her hand passed right through it.
She walked to the mirror, picked up a book, and discovered that her score had increased by one point.
Returning to the mirror side and picking up the symmetrical book, the score increases by one point again.
When you pick up one book, the book opposite it remains in place, which means that this is not a mirror, but a symmetrical passageway.
After trying several books, Mingzhao was able to confirm that the same books were completely consistent on both sides of the axis of symmetry, whether they were correct or not.
In this way, as long as she first takes enough books on one side of the mirror, records the correct book's location according to the increase or decrease in points when taking each book, and then goes back to the other side, she only takes the correct books.
If the base number is large enough, you can guarantee that your score will be positive.
For example, if she is presented with 500 books, 300 of which are incorrect and 200 are correct, she will receive -100 points.
Now, put away the 200 correct books that are symmetrical, and your total score will be +100 points.
That will give you two books.
Having figured out the key to the matter, Mingzhao immediately took action.
She sketched a bookshelf and then went to the other side of the mirror.
Then, at your fastest speed, take the books down one by one along the bookshelf, and record the correct and incorrect answers on the sketch according to the changes in the score.
During this time, the alarm sounded continuously: "Warning, player [Cosmic Invincible Tyrannosaurus]'s score is below 0."
She took 300 books first, then went back to the other side and took down the books that were recorded correctly.
The score became +52 points, a process that took approximately 40 minutes.
Now I'm guaranteed to get a book.
There is less than an hour left.
After Mingzhao became familiar with the method, he accelerated the process even further.
At some point, the warnings became more frequent, and other players gradually began to understand how the game was played.
Mingzhao even saw another player frantically scanning books on the other side of the mirror.
However, in terms of agility, few players can match her.
He placed the last correct book in his arms, and a huge bell rang throughout the library.
Seeing that the final score stopped at 151, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The "[Book Treasure Hunt]" instance has officially ended. 41 players scored positive, 4 scored zero, and 5 scored negative. The elimination process will now begin.
Without making a sound, the five people were instantly killed.
[Book exchange time is now open. Players, please find the books you wish to exchange at the information desk. This session is limited to 30 minutes.]
Mingzhao had already decided which book he wanted during the dungeon run and memorized its approximate location.
Upon hearing this, he immediately ran to the alchemy section and grabbed a copy of "Introduction to Alchemy".
I went to the martial arts area and picked up a book called "Sky-Splitting Thunder Axe: Introduction".
Finally, I went to the language of all races area and picked up a book called "Introduction to the Common Language of the Ocean".
Although Mingzhao obtained Abdullah's Alchemy Notes from the [Desert Treasure Hunt] dungeon, he couldn't understand it at all.
Alchemy requires learning various specialized symbols, as well as some basic knowledge.
Abdullah's alchemy notes were on a completely different level. They were full of Abdullah's own recipes and insights, which Mingzhao, who knew nothing about alchemy, could not understand at all.
The martial arts manual "Sky-Splitting Thunder Axe" seemed perfect for the Thunder Battle Axe. She casually flipped through a few pages; it explained how to connect thunder power with axe techniques, but unfortunately, she could only get the introductory level.
"Introduction to the Common Language of the Ocean" is probably a must-have. You should know that the system automatically translates in dungeons and service areas, so that players and ocean dwellers can understand each other's language.
If she needs to travel to the ocean city on her own later, learning this foreign language will be very important.
Furthermore, after the pets hatch, communicating with them also requires the use of the universal language of the ocean.
Thinking of his pet, Mingzhao thought of the motionless egg in his space and felt a little worried.
I wonder what kind of opportunity will allow it to hatch...
Holding three books, Mingzhao arrived at the information desk.
I noticed that all the other players had left.
The old sea hare checked the three books and her points, and spoke gently to her.
"Did my answer earn you so many points?"
Mingzhao has a very good impression of this sea hare.
"Of course, thanks to your help."
The sea hare shook its antennae and placed its hands on its chest.
May the god of wisdom favor you.
[Congratulations to the player for obtaining the title "[Knowledge is Power]". Would you like to remain anonymous?]
[Not anonymous.]
Mingzhao clicked on the title.
[Knowledge is Power: Wearing this title will grant you the blessing of the god of wisdom, increasing your learning and comprehension abilities by 20%. May you always maintain your enthusiasm for new things.]
This title is so useful. Before, whenever Mingzhao learned something new, such as Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique) or marksmanship, he always hated that he didn't learn fast enough and that the knowledge just wouldn't stick in his brain.
Now that I have this title, I finally have the opportunity to become a top student.
The title was discussed again in the group chat.
[Congratulations to player [Cosmic Invincible Tyrannosaurus] for demonstrating amazing wisdom and speed in the [Book Sea Treasure Hunt] dungeon, earning the title [Knowledge is Power].]
Pineapple Snow: "What's going on? I participated in this dungeon too, but I didn't see Brother Long."
Sexy Bursting Cockroach: "Are you stupid? Brother Long can't possibly be a milk dragon. He must have just not used his disguise skill this time."
Pineapple Snow: "Ah, so I accidentally saw Brother Long's true colors. Damn it, I was so busy looking for the book that I didn't pay any attention to the people around me."
Pancake with Scallions: "As expected of a master, his strength is so great, and his intelligence is extraordinary as well. I got a full 100 points but still didn't get the title."
...
I opened the small group chat, and everyone was discussing this dungeon.
Beautiful Girl Warrior: "How come there's a dungeon in the service area? Boss, how difficult is it? Should we go in since we've encountered it?"
Cosmic Invincible Tyrannomon: "The dungeons in the service area are mostly intelligence tests, and the requirements for combat power are not that high. Moreover, the death conditions are relatively easy to avoid. Even if you can't find a solution, you generally won't die if you do nothing. Just don't do anything reckless."
"However, I suspect that once a solution is found, these kinds of intelligent copies will no longer appear."
Unity of knowledge and action: "That makes sense. Otherwise, if everyone who comes later knows the law, it would be unfair to the first people to participate."
The innocent-looking female monkey said, "The boss is indeed the boss! He's both good at hitting people and very clever."
Hyrule Thug: "I've been seeing that silly, goofy dragon avatar of the boss every day, and I've come to think of him as someone who's all brawn and no brains. I never expected this."
He kicked the cripple's good leg hard: "? I think you're the one who's stupid."
...
Mingzhao scrolled through the group messages for a while out of boredom, then took out the golden treasure chest he had obtained from the announcement title.
Ready to unpack!
