In the Interstellar Era, most books had already shifted from physical books to e-books online.
A small storage disk could contain a huge number of books equivalent to an entire library.
Apart from some readers who still had deep feelings for physical books, most people rarely went to libraries or bookstores to read.
The Wenda Library that Lu Sheng was in was facing such a predicament.
The Devil Map Empire's territory was incomparably vast. Several river systems were all occupied by the empire's humans.
All other races were either annihilated or turned into minorities and assimilated into the Devil Map Empire.
Under such circumstances, the culture and knowledge of countless races were fused together, and the knowledge base was enriched to an extremely high level.
Lu Sheng used a large amount of earth qi and soul power to heal his body's injuries at home. To him, it didn't matter if earth qi or soul power were useful or not.
As long as he found the mainstream system of this world, Deep Blue would help him rapidly improve himself and climb to an extremely high level.
However, at home, he only managed to barely heal this body's heart disease after expending a large portion of his main body's soul power and earth qi.
This made Lu Sheng extremely displeased.
Although it was due to the difference in rules that caused the energy conversion to be extremely severe, it was still a great waste for him to exchange such a loss for such a result.
He tidied himself up, took a shower, changed his clothes, and hurriedly cooked a meal. After wolfing it down, he fell onto his bed and slowly fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Lu Sheng took out a set of work clothes from his wardrobe. It was a set of shirt and grey trousers. After changing into it, he looked in the mirror.
Reflected in the mirror was a middle-aged man with fair skin, almost to the point of paleness.
The man's aura was a little gloomy. His eyes were always squinted, and his expression was indifferent. However, his back was ramrod straight. He didn't have any cervical or lumbar problems.
His facial features could barely be considered delicate, but he wasn't exactly handsome.
"I can continue to be a librarian, but I can also stand out and not be ordinary … If this is my wish in this world, then I can fulfill it." Lu Sheng smiled at himself in the mirror.
He scratched his head, maintaining his tidy and meticulous appearance like Wang Mu's.
Even the cuffs of his shirt were buttoned up neatly.
He changed into his shoes and walked out of the house. Lu Sheng pushed out a red electric scooter from the stairwell and rode it in the direction of the library.
The Wenda Library was only two kilometers away from his rented apartment. Ten minutes later, Lu Sheng arrived at the deserted courtyard of the library.
The sun was bright and warm, but there was no one in the library except for the dozing old man guarding the door.
Lu Sheng drove the car to a corner, parked it, and locked it. He straightened his collar and took out the key to open the library door.
The entire library was located in a remote area of the suburbs. Since it was a private library, it was originally built with books donated by many people. Therefore, it did not intend to make much profit in the beginning.
This was a two-story building that a wealthy man had bought for nostalgia. There were six large rooms in total, and they were the main storage space of the library.
"Little Wang, you're early today?" The old man guarding the door was awakened by the sound of keys. He rubbed his eyes and looked at Lu Sheng.
"Yes, I woke up early today. I haven't had breakfast yet," Lu Sheng nodded and answered.
He pushed the door open and slowly walked in.
A hazy dust rushed out from inside.
"There's too little manpower … It's hard to even maintain basic hygiene …" Lu Sheng shook his head speechlessly.
The entire library was divided into two floors. There were three book rooms on the first floor, and two book rooms and a magazine room on the second floor.
Lu Sheng opened the doors and windows one by one to let in the air in all the rooms.
Then, he began to carefully examine the situation of the library.
There were not many books. One book room had about two thousand books. The five book rooms added up to ten thousand books. The magazine room had not been updated for a long time, so it was basically useless.
In other words, the entire library had a total of ten thousand books.
He casually flipped through the books. Many of them were outdated professional skills books.
Compared to some of the knowledge in Wang Mu's memory, the number of years of publication was many years behind.
"No wonder no one comes here." Lu Sheng was speechless again.
Wang Mu's wish was that he could continue to be a librarian, but at the same time, he could stand out and no longer be ordinary.
Lu Sheng could understand this ambition in his heart.
In the process of searching for his son, helping him fulfill his wish was also increasing his own Soul Power.
Although he was very strong now and had reached the human limit, absorbing his own soul from a parallel world might be effective?
"I can try."
Lu Sheng quickly found a seat in the book room and sat down. He made himself a cup of tea and turned on the old broken computer on the table.
"Click click …"
Faint noises kept coming out of the computer case, like an old tractor slowly moving forward with black smoke puffing out of its mouth.
The computer turned on, and then …
He realized that he was not connected to the internet …
The library's funds were very tight. The last rich businessman who supported the library a while ago had completely lost contact because of bankruptcy.
Until now, Wang Mu relied on the little profit the library made to maintain his and the security guard's income.
He had no money to pay for the internet.
Moreover, the ownership of this place theoretically belonged to the bankrupt rich businessman. It was just that there had been no news of him for a long time, and he did not know how he was doing.
Lu Sheng looked at the information stored in the computer.
Other than a large number of book stubs, there were also a large number of previously downloaded books.
There were all kinds of different professions.
He browsed a little, especially the human development.
Unfortunately, the age of the information was also very old, and most of it was ordinary professional knowledge. There was not much value in reference.
After browsing for a while, Lu Sheng gained nothing. Other than a deeper understanding of this world, there was no other content.
Soon, the morning passed unknowingly.
Lu Sheng glanced at the book borrowing system on the computer.
Although the system was old, it was still operating normally. It showed that three people had entered the library and were reading in the second book room.
The book borrowing system was connected to the surveillance system and access control. It would know if someone entered or left.
"There are really people reading books?" Lu Sheng was slightly surprised. While his main body used a large amount of Earth Energy and Soul Power to repair this body, he continued to learn about this superpower level universe that he had entered.
After sitting for a while, footsteps came from the door of the book room that Lu Sheng was facing.
A fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl with a ponytail, wearing a simple white T-shirt and jeans walked in.
She was holding a book in her hand, which seemed to be about poetry.
"Borrow one of these." She put the book on the table in front of Lu Sheng.
"Okay." Lu Sheng glanced at the title of the book. Farewell, My Autumn.
It was obviously a moan without illness, a boring and empty hipster.
"Three yuan per book, you can read it for a week, a deposit of one hundred." Lu Sheng skillfully followed Wang Mu's habit and stated the borrowing rules.
"Okay." The girl calmly took out her wallet and paid. Lu Sheng scanned the code of the book for her, then watched her turn around and leave.
With the first one, there was a second and a third.
The small library, because of its low price and high quality-price ratio, managed to borrow eight books in one morning.
The three people in front and behind borrowed books one after another. The two boys in the back were in a group and borrowed a whole set of historical documents in one go, obviously to borrow them for research.
In the afternoon, Lu Sheng continued to repair his body's heart problem, and then continued to maintain Wang Mu's previous work.
Business was better in the afternoon than in the morning. Five people came, a total of twenty books were borrowed, and they received nearly one hundred yuan.
When the library was about to close in the afternoon.
Beep …
His phone rang.
Wang Mu was wiping the table, and when he heard the sound, he quickly took out his phone from his trouser pocket.
A name was displayed on the screen.
"Xu Shaogong."
This was Wang Mu's only classmate and friend. He was also the only person who didn't deliberately alienate him since he became a poorly paid librarian.
He pressed the answer button. A hearty and enthusiastic voice suddenly came from the phone.
"Mu Mu, how have you been? I just went to Huang Jia a few days ago. The sea there is really blue, and the beach is full of girls in swimsuits. You didn't see the scene, some people even took off their corsets, tsk tsk … I already told you to go together, but you didn't listen … "
Xu Shaogong's gibberish kept coming from the other end of the phone.
Lu Sheng didn't open his mouth at all. For a full twenty minutes, this guy talked from beginning to end without a single pause.
Xu Shaogong's family was ordinary, but he worked hard and managed to become a department head in a foreign company with a good salary. Plus, he was also outgoing and enthusiastic, so he quickly found a girlfriend to talk to.
He was different from Wang Mu. He had always been in contact with his former classmates, and they were also familiar with each other.
It was just that he always hated Wang Mu for not living up to his expectations, and looked down on his unmotivated philosophy of life. He always advised him to get rid of this job and find another one.
Staying in a dilapidated library and wasting time like this was simply a waste of youth.
After chatting with Xu Shaogong for a while, almost half an hour had passed. Lu Sheng hung up the phone. He was actually listening the whole time, and didn't have a chance to speak.
He tilted his head and looked at the slowly setting sun outside.
He took a deep breath and exhaled.
"I've more or less understood … there is no special power in this place. It's just the most common technological world. "
He furrowed his brows.
"Looks like I can only start with the most basic physical training."
Although this was the slowest, it was the most applicable everywhere.
"From the information I've inquired about before, the training methods here are slightly different from those I've practiced before. But the crudest basic parts are the same. It can be used everywhere. "
The most basic part, such as repeatedly training a body part, would provide more nutrients to that part and strengthen it.
This law was the same in any universe.
This was the evolution and adaptability of living things.
In his mind, Lu Sheng tried to recall which skills were suitable for him to cultivate at the moment.
