Su Ye frowned slightly and said with concern: "You didn't sleep? You stayed up all night again? You studied medicine, so you should know the harm of staying up all night to the body, right?"
Su Mu knew that his sister was concerned about him, and said with a smile: "Maybe it's because I slept too much before. I couldn't fall asleep last night, so I just got up and did something. Don't worry, I take good care of my body. Staying up late to cultivate is something I do occasionally."
As he spoke, he walked to Caimao and kicked him: "Stop pretending. Do you think I don't know that you were snitching? Go to the kitchen and make breakfast. After that, I still have to go to the library."
"It just so happens that I'm going too, so we can go together then." Su Ye said.
She had borrowed a batch of high school textbooks from the library before. Through self-study and the guidance of her older brothers and sisters and teachers, she had almost finished her preparation and wanted to go to the library to borrow some exercises and test papers to practice.
"Okay, let's go together." Su Mu nodded and urged Cai Mao to go into the kitchen quickly.
Caimao didn't dare to refuse and walked into the kitchen muttering.
Sumu had slept for several days in a row, so he was not sleepy after staying up all night, but Caimao was sleepy!
Even though I had just drunk a bowl of Lingshen Xueya tea, my eyelids were still drooping, but I had no choice but to stay open.
Fortunately, Amiya came in and lit a piece of incense to calm its mind and soul.
The scent filled with spiritual energy dispelled the cat's tiredness and sleepiness, allowing it to regain some spirits.
"You still have some conscience."
Caimao glanced at Sumu in the yard through the kitchen window, and then started to prepare breakfast.
Not long after, a simple breakfast was served. After eating, the cats were left to look after the house, while Su Mu and Su Ye went out of the courtyard gate and sat on a shared spiritual bird that they had called on their cell phone.
After watching the two people leave, Caimao returned to the kitchen, found a portion of flavored dried fish, and curled up under the eaves, chewing on it while squinting his eyes and began to doze off.
On the other side, Su Mu and Su Ye, riding on a shared flying bird, soon arrived outside the library.
Although it was early in the morning, many students had already arrived outside the library.
Some of them were queuing up to have their identities verified by the bronze statue of Cangjie before entering the library, while others were gathering in front of a book-shaped statue nearby.
This statue was not there when Sumu came last time, so I don’t know what it is used for.
After getting off the bird and scanning the code to pay, Su Mu and Su Ye walked towards the library entrance.
Among the students in line, there were those who knew Su Mu and greeted him, "Morning, Teacher Su."
Su Mu saw that he knew this person. He was a student in the foundation-building tutoring class, and his surname was Lu. Judging from his current state, he should have successfully built his foundation.
Upon asking, it turned out to be true.
Student Lu looked very grateful to Su Mu and said, "Thanks to Teacher Su for helping me develop a special plan, I was able to successfully build my foundation. I wanted to come to your house to thank you, but you were in a coma the whole time."
Su Mu waved his hand and said, "You're welcome. You paid the tuition, so I have to provide the corresponding teaching level. I can't let you spend money in vain."
"Teacher Su is really good at joking." Student Lu laughed, and then asked, "Are you here to carry out a mission as well?"
Su Mu replied: "No, I came to borrow some books."
Student Lu said, "You have to go to the book statue first and accept the task of 'Library Cleaning' before you can go in."
Su Mu was stunned: "I have to accept tasks even for borrowing books? When did this rule come into being? How come I didn't know about it?"
Student Lu replied, "Whether you want to borrow books or do daily tasks, if you want to enter the library, you must accept the library cleaning task, otherwise the Cangjie bronze statue will not let you in. And if you fail to complete this prerequisite task, the book spirit will ignore you. This is a new rule that has been introduced in recent days."
Su Mu was puzzled: "Why do we have to do this mission? Is the sanitation in the library very bad recently?"
Seeing that he had misunderstood, Lu quickly explained, "Teacher Su, this cleaning task is not about cleaning, but about getting rid of bookworms. Recently, many books in the library have been infested with insects, and the bookworms are too busy to handle it, so they issued this pre-task that must be completed."
"So that's how it is." Su Mu understood and sighed, "As expected of a bookworm, he can draw inferences from one example and think very fast."
Previously, the book spirits were worried that fewer people came to the library, so Su Mu suggested that they turn the library into a task point. The mandatory cleaning task now issued by the book spirits is also derived from this.
Anyone who can stir up trouble in the library and catch even the book lovers off guard is definitely not an ordinary bookworm.
How should Su Ye handle this task?
Su Mu was just about to ask classmate Lu whether the task could be completed as a team when he saw Su Ye greeting the bronze statue of Cangjie, saying "Good morning, Grandpa Cangjie", and then walked straight into the library.
During this time, he turned around and mouthed something to Su Mu, meaning, "I'll go in first and wait for you inside, hurry up."
Didn't they say that if you don't take the pre-cleaning quest, you can't enter the library? What's the situation with Xiaoye? Because my reputation and favorability are high enough, I can skip the pre-cleaning quest? Then can I go in directly?
Su Mu tried to walk towards the library, but found that he was overthinking...
As soon as he walked up to the bronze statue of Cangjie, he was stopped.
"You can't enter the library if you don't accept the cleaning mission!"
Well, it seems that my reputation and favorability in the library are not as good as Xiao Ye's...
Looking at the huge bronze statue of Cangjie that exuded powerful spiritual power, Su Mu responded obediently, "I understand." Then he turned around and walked towards the book statue next to him.
When I got closer, I found that this book statue was actually a self-service task collection machine. All I had to do was take out my phone, open the school's APP, scan the QR code on the book statue, and then enter my student ID number to complete the task collection.
After Su Mu accepted the task, a message appeared on the school APP: "The library cleaning task has been successfully accepted. You need to 'clean up' at least one bookworm in the B6 area of the library. The time limit is 30 minutes. The timer starts now. I wish you a happy task!"
Well, it's still a time-limited mission! That's right, if it wasn't a time limit, those who entered the library because of the ring wouldn't have to complete this mission at all. They just had to accept it and go in, and after enough time, they could come out.
Su Mu walked to the bronze statue of Cangjie again, raised his mobile phone, and showed it the task page.
The bronze statue of Cangjie scanned the task barcode and confirmed that it was a valid task accepted by Sumu, and not a screenshot from someone else's phone, and then let him go: "Go in."
Su Mu entered the library and glanced around. Hmm, it was still familiar, quiet yet noisy.
It is quiet because no one makes any noise. Even those who are reading in the reading area turn the pages very carefully.
On the one hand, it is about high quality; on the other hand, if you speak a little louder, the book spirit will immediately appear.
The first time, you get a yellow card warning. The second time, you get a red card and are expelled from the library!
When we say noisy, it means that although the students did not dare to make any sound, they released their spiritual energy, forming dialog boxes in their heads.
The last time Sumu came, the content in the classmates' chat boxes was rich and colorful. Some were selling things at stalls, some were sharing tasks and looking for teams, and some were showing off their love and torturing single people. There were so many kinds of content that it was even more lively than the world channels in many games.
This time, Su Mu discovered that not only did the dialog box not disappear, but its design was also renewed!
The last dialog box contained only text.
Now in this dialog box, you can actually upload pictures! I wonder if the next step is to be able to post videos?
Moreover, the dialog boxes for selling things have a new function. Although only the product names are listed in the dialog box, as long as your eyes stay on a product for a few seconds, the picture of the product, as well as its detailed introduction and price, will appear next to it.
Su Mu found it both funny and speechless.
The first student to use the dialog box in this way is definitely a talented person!
But the book spirits are also interesting. They didn't stop this behavior and turned it into a special landscape in the library...
Su Mu had just walked into the library and was looking around for Su Ye when a classmate came up to him.
The man didn't say anything, but a small dialog box appeared above his head.
The words inside were so small that you had to get close to read them carefully to see them clearly: "Classmate, do you want a bookworm?"
Su Mu was speechless, and several black lines appeared on his forehead.
Is it really so mysterious? I thought you came to ask me if I wanted a disc, the kind that has everything from Europe, America, Japan, and Korea...
Seeing that Su Mu didn't respond, the words on the man's head immediately changed: "Selling it at a low price. After you get it, you can immediately complete the previous task, saving time and trouble. How about it, do you want it?"
Su Mu shook his head and declined.
He prefers to complete the task by himself, and is also very curious about what a bookworm that can give book lovers a headache looks like.
Seeing that Su Mu didn't want it, the other party didn't try to persuade him any further and immediately greeted the next student who entered the library.
Su Mu also came back to his senses at this time.
Selling bookworms, in a sense, is the same as selling homework and test answers. No wonder that student did it in a sneaky way, like a thief...
But that classmate is also a talented person and he can think of such a business.
Su Mu shook his head and did not stop it, nor did he report it.
The incident happened right at the entrance of the library. No matter how careful the student was, the book lovers would have discovered it long ago.
Since the book spirit did not stop it, it means that this matter does not violate any rules, so why should Su Mu make a fuss?
Su Ye was standing in front of a bookshelf, waiting for the book spirit to fetch her a book. Seeing Su Mu coming in, she waved at him. Su Mu gestured back, saying that he had to do the cleaning task first, and asked her to sit in the reading area and wait for him after borrowing the book.
Su Ye understood what he meant and gave him an "OK" gesture.
Su Mu looked at the library location map next to him, found the direction of Area B6, and walked over.
Just after taking a few steps, I heard a loud bang, and then I saw a classmate flying out from a pile of bookshelves like a kite with a broken string, with a trembling, drawn-out scream: "Ah——"
