palmprint road

The New Year's sacrifice continued until the white belly of the sky was exposed, and the people on the square gradually dispersed, while those who were still unsatisfied continued to linger in various pubs to continue drinking.

Mu Yun took a rare vacation for himself and slept until noon before finally waking up, but he went straight to the library after filling his stomach.

Because he has been studying the engraving on the amulet for the past few days, he didn't remember to go to the library to collect his reward until today.

Although it's holiday time now, it's not like his previous situation where the whole academy was deserted during the holidays. However, there are indeed a lot fewer people than usual, and many people who are close to home have gone home. Those who leave are either those who are far away, or those who have no place to go at all.

There are also some who took the task and went out to carry it out. For example, Celia even had a task issued by the Holy Church. She only had time to say New Year blessings to Mu Yun in advance, and left in a hurry without even participating in the New Year Ceremony in Wangcheng. .

When Mu Yun came to the library, he found that on the first day of the new year, there were actually several people reading something seriously. It seemed that no matter where he was, there was no shortage of hardworking people.

On the recliner behind the desk by the door, there was still the old man Mu Yun was familiar with, still reading with relish a thick book on his lap, but the way he read it was already a different book.

Mu Yun showed his identity badge as usual, and after the old man glanced at it, he didn't leave as usual, but looked at the old man and said softly: "Hello, old man, I'm here to receive the freshman competition reward."

Hearing Mu Yun's words, the old man looked up at Mu Yun and asked.

"name."

"Class [-], Grade [-], Mu Yun."

Hearing Mu Yun's answer, the old man sat up straight from the reclining chair, stretched out his hand and rummaged in the desk drawer for a while, took out a small book and opened it to check.After a while, his eyes paused somewhere, then he raised his head and looked at Mu Yundao.

"Give me the badge."

Mu Yun handed over the badge according to his words, and saw the old man raised his right hand to touch the badge after receiving it, Mu Yun only saw the badge light up, and then the old man handed it back, "Okay, go up to the third floor by yourself , don't run around."

"Thank you."

Mu Yun has long been used to the cold attitude towards the old man. In the conversation with other students, some people who knew the inside story said that something happened to the old man to become like this, and he seemed to be indifferent to everyone.

As long as you abide by the rules, then naturally nothing will happen. However, in the past, there was a noble young master who was dissatisfied with the attitude of the old man. Throwing it out directly, it was only then that other people knew that the old man was hiding everything, and later people became more honest.

Mu Yun took the badge, thanked him, and walked towards the stairs. This was his first time going upstairs.Walking up the wooden stairs, only the sound of his footsteps can be heard in the quiet surroundings.

Passing by the second floor, Mu Yun looked in curiously. The layout of the hall on the second floor was exactly the same as that on the first floor, except that there were slightly fewer bookshelves than on the first floor, and the distance between the bookshelves was wider than that on the first floor. The senior students were reading the book seriously, but Mu Yun's appearance did not attract their attention.

Mu Yun withdrew his gaze and walked up the stairs to the third floor. In front of him was a closed door with an unusually complicated magic circle carved on the door, and the surface was covered with a layer of shining white light. Looking at this posture, even Mu Yun Even with all his strength, the cloud cannot be broken.

After observing for a while, Mu Yun found that there was no such thing as a handle on the door, and suddenly remembered the old man's action just now, so he stretched out his hand and gently pressed on the door.

Mu Yun felt that his hands encountered resistance after touching the white light on the door. Before he wanted to do anything, the badge on his chest emitted a burst of light, which complemented the white light on the door.

Then he saw the magic circle on the door light up, the door slid open to both sides, and the hand pressing on the door also passed through the white light, looking at this Mu, although he had already seen other people in the kingdom's treasure house. A protective spell, but still a novelty.

Mu Yun didn't hesitate anymore, he stepped through this layer of white light, and then felt his eyes light up.

The layout of the hall on the third floor is completely different from that on the first and second floors. Although there are also bookshelves, they surround the third floor, and the bookshelves are also shrouded in the familiar white light of Mu Yun.

This place is not very big. Mu Yun looked around and roughly estimated the size of about a hundred square meters. The total number of books on the upper floor is only a few hundred, which is much less than that on the lower floor.

But Mu Yun also knows that all the books that can be placed here are high-quality goods, which are not comparable to the books below. If he has not won the top three rewards, then at least he will not be able to save enough until the end of the first grade. The points exchanged for a practice book here is still the lowest level.

In that case, the situation that he already lags far behind others in source power will become more serious. Even if he has stone milk to absorb, the amount of demand is constantly increasing, and it can be said that its effectiveness is gradually weakening.Since the production of stone milk itself is not high, it needs a lot of source power to absorb after yesterday's breakthrough. Of course, it is not enough to rely on stone milk now.

Perhaps the biggest stone milk can be expected, but at present, it is most important to choose a book that accelerates the absorption of source power to study. If it is not for this opportunity, maybe he will find a way to make money and use gold crystal coins to buy a book. Ben used it first.

While he was looking around, a hole was opened from the top of the center of the hall, and a white spherical object made of unknown metal protruded from it. The surface of the ball was engraved with complex patterns, and there was a long pole connected to it at the back. In the opened hole, when the sphere slowly fell to a height of one person above the ground, it stopped steadily.

Just when Mu Yun was looking at the sphere curiously, a male and female voice came out from the sphere, "Hello, welcome to the college library, I am the housekeeper of the library, Halford No, please state your needs."

Is this the construct of this world?

Mu Yun raised his brows. Through his understanding of books, he also knew that there are robots in this world, and the degree of perfection is much stronger than in the previous life. They are collectively called constructs here, and some powerful constructs are even used in wars. Among them, the defense is strong, able to resist the attack of magic, and it is the existence that can resist the awakened ones.

The goblins are the ones who have the strongest use of this aspect. The world has given them weak bodies and flexible brains at the same time. Various inventions have emerged one after another, the most famous of which is this kind of construct. It is said that in There is an island dominated by goblins in the Forgotten Sea, which is covered with constructs of various shapes as defense facilities.

Although various countries now have some technologies and have their own construct troops, Mu Yun never thought that a library would also use this thing, so he nodded and said: "I want to find a copy of the Life System Core Books that can be used to accelerate the absorption of source power, do you know if there are any here?"

Halford No. [-] responded immediately: "On the second floor of Bookshelf No. [-], there is what you need. Is there anything else you want to ask?"

Mu Yun thought for a while, and then asked: "Are there any special books here that are not in the department?"

This time, Halford No. [-] was silent for a while, and then responded again: "In addition to the death department and the demon department, there are a total of nineteen department books including the mutation department, all of which are within the system. , and did not include other special categories of books."

Hearing the words of Halford No. [-], Mu Yun was a little disappointed, but he still asked unwillingly: "Can I browse by myself?"

"Okay, just let me know when you've made your choice." After speaking, Halford No. [-] stopped making a sound and hung there quietly.

Mu Yun took a deep breath, found a nearby bookshelf, and began to check it slowly.

The number of books in each department on the bookshelf is different. There are more books in the four departments of Earth, Water, Fire and Wind than in other departments. There are fewer books in the department of abnormalities such as lightning, ice, and fog. It is pitifully rare, there are only three books in the Department of Creation and Department of Destruction.Halford No. [-] did not lie to him, Mu Yun walked around and did not find the book he was looking for.

Although Mu Yun had expected it long ago, he sighed helplessly when he couldn't find the information he wanted. However, the books of the life department are still very important to him. Not many, there are only six books, three of which are essence-core meditation techniques, so there are only three books that can be used by him.

When he came to the No. [-] bookshelf, Mu Yun carefully looked at the three books about the core, namely, the method of absorbing the source of life, the method of absorbing the source of life, and the method of praying for the source. As far as his current points are spent, he still has some left over.

The source of life suction method requires 400 points, and the points he can advance are three times the points he currently has, which means that he still owes more than [-] points after spending the points in his hand.

As for the third Qiyuan method, it needs 1 points. Although Mu Yun was a little jealous, he just gave it up after reading it. With his current points, it is definitely not enough, so he needs to get No.[-]. Doing the tasks assigned by the college will not have a chance to exchange until the end of the freshman semester. Otherwise, the normal [-] points can only be achieved after the senior year at least.

Looking at these three books, Mu Yun didn't really have many choices. Although the source of 1000 points does not need to owe points, the speed of absorbing the source of power is definitely not as fast as the method of absorbing the source of life. For him, it takes almost one year to repay the more than [-] points, and the deadline to pay off the outstanding points is also one year, and additional interest will be charged after exceeding.

However, he finally decided to choose the source of life absorption method. What he lacks most now is time. It is good to speed up the absorption of source power. If there is no upper limit on credit, he would like to choose the source of life method. It is an intermediate to advanced book, and it has the greatest improvement in the absorption of source power.Therefore, Mu Yun no longer hesitated, pointed at the source of life absorption method, turned his head and said to Halford One.

"Just choose it."
