Having resolved the issue of the mythical resources, Bai Qi felt a stone lift from his heart. After a short ponder, he set off toward the Tower of Knowledge.
He was certainly not going to the analysis group for the White Meeh. Such a large machine armor, probably the data from the rune on the shell has not been fully collected yet. Going now would only hinder their progress, so it would be better for him to go to the Tower of Knowledge to search for information instead.
Anyway, Zhao Futu and Lan Ke had both promised that he could freely read the materials in the Tower of Knowledge. He must not waste this opportunity.
Without Xiang Li leading the way, Bai Qi had to go through careful identity verification before being allowed to enter the Tower of Knowledge.
Unlike the high-tech displayed in the Holy Relic Tower, the Tower of Knowledge still maintained its original structure.
The neatly lined up classical bookshelves in the library were filled with equally classical books, giving off the appearance of a vintage library.
“They’re all paper books. Aren’t they afraid of damage due to improper preservation?”
Bai Qi was slightly confused. In this day and age, while paper books still existed, they are no longer the mainstream, especially considering the security of storage and the convenience of reading, electronic reading devices would definitely bring more advantages.
“This is the Tower of Knowledge, not a regular library. There’s no danger of damage to the books here. The age of these books would suffice even your grandpa.”
Just then, Lu Qing came out from behind a bookshelf with a book in her arms. Seeing Bai Qi’s surprised expression, she said, “The books here are very valuable, remember to put them back in their original place after reading.” Without waiting for Bai Qi to reply, Lu Qing left the library with the book in her arms.
Was he just mocked by Lu Qing?
Bai Qi scratched his head speechlessly. It seemed his luck was so bad that he could be scoffed at even when he was just looking for a book.
“Forget it, reading is the main thing here.”
Bai Qi shrugged. Putting everything else aside, he started to observe this ancient library.
As Lu Qing said, each of the old bookshelves was full of ancient runes, and even the covers of the books were engraved with corresponding runes, exuding a special aura that protected the books.
“A rune that could extend the preservation period might be worth learning – it could be useful.”
Bai Qi took out the tools and silently recorded the runes on the book, then he started to search for the books that he needed.
As the gathering place for all the association’s materials, both the variety and quantity of the books in the library were terrifying. If it weren’t for the guide stone at the entrance, Bai Qi would have suspected that he could get lost in there.
“The only available categories are Runes and History, the rest are still not allowed?”
Looking at the only two illuminated runes carved in the guide stone, Bai Qi could not help but shrug.
All that was allowed to be loaned were materials related to the White Meeh. He had hoped to copy some reference materials.
Could it be that there are no electronic products in the Tower of Knowledge to prevent theft?
Bai Qi had an epiphany and lit up the rune symbol that represented the Rune section. His body was immediately enveloped in a light beam that teleported him in front of a Rune section bookshelf. Next to the bookshelf, there was also a guide stone for assisting him to find books.
Picking up a random book, a light shone on the guide stone and the book was teleported directly to him.
“Although there’s no installed machinery, the function isn’t that bad.”
Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction, picked up the book, and started reading on the spot.
The book mainly discussed the analysis and application of fire attribute runes. Although it wasn’t as easy to understand as Luo Xiang’s explanation, it was comprehensive and detailed – suitable for a thorough foundation.
The other books Bai Qi browsed were the same. Being satisfied, he piled the books together and planned on heading to the History section.
The Rune related contents were too numerous and varied, he could certainly not finish in a brief span of time. While the History section was open, he thought he might find information related to the Demon Class.
The intelligence on the Power of Death also needs to be looked into.
As for these Rune books, he would bring them back for a slow read.
Bai Qi pressed the button to go to the History section. The teleportation light enveloped him again, and the books in Bai Qi’s hand disappeared and returned to the bookshelf.
“You can’t take them out? How did Lu Qing manage to take them out then?”
Bai Qi was speechless. They didn’t even allow to take books outside. It was like they expected him to stay here all the time.
“Forgetit, I’ll find the Demon Class materials first.”
In the History section, Bai Qi located all the related books from the Era of Law Emperor and then started to slowly read them.
Although it was just one era, the number of related books was not small. Even with Bai Qi’s Four-Stage physique and spirit power, he only managed to get through a third of them, even though he read until his neck was sore.
Nonetheless, Bai Qi benefited enormously.
“I see, from a certain perspective, the Law Emperor could probably be considered the patriarch of the Mechanical Engineering Department.”
Bai Qi closed a book that documented the rune puppets of the Era of the Law Emperor with a sigh.
If one were to replace the circuitry of the mechanical engineering with rune structures and swapped the energy source with energy stones, the only difference between Mechanical Engineering and the Rune Department would be the intelligence control unit.
No, wait a minute. The resist mechanical systems have given birth to Spirit- Controls, which could be categorized as living beings, whereas Rune Puppets, no matter how intelligent they become, remain as mere tools.
Even so, the Rune Puppets could truly be considered as the prototype version of mechanical engineering.
“But there is still no mention of the Demon Class data.”
Bai Qi rubbed his temples, having gone through the history of the Law Emperor dozens of times to avoid missing any information, but he didn’t find a single piece of data related to the Demon Class or even evil power.
As for the Power of Death, he had come across some records, but they were merely touched upon briefly without detailed documentation.
“Let me finish reading the rest first, then ask the teacher or Master Xiang if there’s a chance.”
Bai Qi put the book in his hand down and casually picked up another one from the side to continue browsing.
“Hmm, is it about unsolved incidents from the Era of Law Emperor?”
After turning two pages, Bai Qi found that this book seemed to record all kinds of bizarre events.
‘The Truth about Rune Puppets and Original Beasts’
‘The Possibility of Law Emperor Being a Reincarnated Deity’
‘Is Law Emperor’s Harem Made of Rune Puppets or Real People’
“What the hell are these, the Tower of Knowledge really does collect everything.”
Bai Qi, holding the book that seemed more like gossip than history in his hand, sighed in silence. Just as he was about to toss it aside, he noticed an entry, and so he kept the book.
“In the 36th year of the Law Emperor, two extraterrestrial meteors fell from the sky; where they fell, one half was engulfed in the Green Flame, one half was evaporated by the white light; all of mankind’s Ferocious Beasts disappeared without a trace. Later, the Law Emperor himself took away the two meteors; nothing out of the ordinary has occurred since…”
“Green Flame, white light… Could it be that the two peculiar stones inside the Dual Sky Meeh were obtained from here?”
Bai Qi noted the time when the Law Emperor found the two meteors, then picked out all the records related to the Law Emperor around that time, especially the appearance time of the Dual Sky Meeh, finally confirming his conjecture.
“So, the Demon Class really did come from outer spaces-”
Bai Qi frowned slightly; as a transmigrator, he was sure that there were other worlds out there. Still, the world he previously lived in was just an ordinary technology world, simply incomparable to the Demon Class.
A Demon Class from outer space sounded like big trouble.
Since the Demon Class was extraterrestrial, he probably won’t find specific information in the history section. There’s no point staying here anymore.
Bai Qi closed the book, returned it to the shelf, and then started searching for books related to death.
However, this time, he didn’t find anything.
After all, unlike the Demon Class, there wasn’t a specific time frame to follow; the timespan was too ancient.
“I’ll ask the teacher the next time I see them; they might know something.”
Bai Qi stood up, rubbed his slightly aching neck, and planned to go back to studying in the Rune Department.
After all, his rune fundamentals were average; it wasn’t bad to take this chance to work on them.
Just then, a ray of white light suddenly lit up next to Bai Qi, and Lu Qing appeared next to him.
“Bai Qi, the teacher is looking for you.”
Lu Qing glanced at the messy pile of books next to Bai Qi, furrowed her brows slightly, operated the stone tablet next to them, and the books returned to their original places.
“Next time, if you continue to treat books like this, I will suggest to the teacher that your privileges to enter here be revoked.”
“Ah, okay.”
Bai Qi sighed helplessly at her words. After all, he was under her roof and had to keep his head low. Plus, to a bookworm like Lu Qing, his behavior had indeed been excessive.
After all, they wouldn’t care about the fact that these books aren’t so easily damaged.
After tidying up all the books, Lu Qing turned and left directly. Bai Qi quickly followed her, saying, “Lu Qing, why does Master Lan want to see me?”
“You will know when you get there.”
Lu Qing pushed her glasses and quickened her pace, stepping out of the library.
“Indeed, you can’t mess with women who wear glasses…”
Bai Qi shook his head in the face of this situation, but still he quickly caught up.
Looking for him at this time could either be related to White Meeh, or the Rune Tier 2 evolution, if not that, then it would be the Spirit-Control Orb matter.
Following Lu Qing, Bai Qi quickly arrived at Lan Ke’s office.
But when he saw a man and a woman in Lan Ke’s office, his jaw dropped.
“Mom, Dad! How are you both here!”
These two were none other than Bai Qi’s parents who haven’t visited home for a long time due to their research.
Weren’t they both research professionals from their company? How did they get here?
Could it be the research professional identity was a sham and mom and dad were actually members of the association?
With everything so secret and mysterious, could it be that they were actually from a background of big hidden families?
Uh, the Bai families in the association seem to be just a few like Professor Bai; could it be that I really am a member of the Bai family?
Am I really also the second generation of a legend?
