Demon King, Don’t Run Away

Chapter 289: Used to crack a walnut

Views:

In the special interrogation room, Yang Yu enthusiastically promoted the textbooks for nine-year compulsory education to the Special Countermeasures Committee.

After riding on the ball of light that Kaka made for them, Yang Yu settled all the completed tasks and used up all the draws without leaving a single one.

Unfortunately, today, he was hung up and beaten by the goddess of luck as usual.

There are many strange things in the warehouse.

Among the pile of scrap metal that was drawn, the only thing worth looking at was a laptop.

But this world has no Internet, nor is there electricity to support the operation of a computer, which means that this computer is also a fucking iron five and can only be used to crack walnuts.

emmm

Perhaps, it can be used as a table leg or as a chopping board.

As for the guaranteed skills obtained from the mission, Yang Yu drew out a skill called [Sharp Blade].

The name alone sounds powerful, but in fact, it is just a very ordinary attack BUFF that can only increase sword damage by 10%.

It's useless to Yang Yu, a tank.

Under Yang Yu's promotion, the elders of the Special Countermeasures Committee showed great interest in the book in Yang Yu's hand.

Ancient civilizations are ancient legends that only exist in books, and everyone wants to peek at the tip of this ancient iceberg.

Several elders could no longer suppress their excitement and hoped that Yang Yu would read the book to them immediately.

Of course Yang Yu was happy to give others a taste of the sweetness. It was a very common marketing tactic. He took out a physics book and raised his hand towards the elders.

An invisible suction force pulled the book in Yang Yu's hand into the sky and landed in Baronak's hands. Many elders sneaked over.

Barona turned slightly to the side, letting the light behind her shine on the book. The smooth cover reflected colorful colors. There were exquisite pictures painted on the cover, accompanied by completely incomprehensible text.

When you open it, the smooth and soft paper surface makes you feel comfortable, and the words written on it are extremely neat.

It doesn't seem like a book that should exist in their time at all.

The elders around tried to read the book, but even though they were knowledgeable, they had never seen such strange words before and could not understand the book at all. They could only look at Yang Yu helplessly.

Seizing this opportunity, Yang Yu immediately began to preach about how terrible the Light of Destruction was, saying that if he had not cleared out the Light of Destruction sooner, these books would have been ruined by it long ago.

Afterwards, Yang Yu said that he also gained some enlightenment from the ruins and became able to understand some of the words in the book.

It was because of this that he realized the specialness of these books and wanted to sell these truly valuable books to the Library of All Things.

In order to prove that he had indeed understood the content above, Yang Yu took out a thick and long glass rod, stuffed it into the soft cotton cloth, and moved his hands up and down, gently squeezing it, rubbing it up and down, triggering a deadly rhythm, making the glass rod's electric eyes so intimidating that it easily absorbed the scraps of paper that Yang Yu had prepared in advance.

Several elders in the library couldn't help but speak out.

"What kind of magic did you use to suck the paper directly onto the stick? Why can't we feel any fluctuations in the magic power?"

"Because this is not magic." Yang Yu smiled gently.

"If it's not magic? Then what is it?" the elder asked.

"reason.

That's reasonable.

It is the reason why this world exists.

All things in the world, from the giant dragons in the sky to the ants and reptiles on the ground, must follow certain laws and act according to something.

And they call this a gift.

The set of books you are reading in your hands now are the books that civilization used to try to reveal the truth about the world.

From what I saw, that ancient civilization did not possess the convenient magic that we have. They relied solely on reason to build their splendor and create many things that were beyond my imagination.

If you can understand the principles stated in this book.

Maybe it can change the world.”

Yang Yu spoke very logically, but the elders tilted their heads in frustration. Even though Yang Yu said so much, they still couldn't understand.

Even if the text above is described vividly, if you can't read a single word, there is no way to understand the knowledge mentioned above.

As if he could see through the elders' thoughts, Yang Yu smiled and took out a math textbook and a thick dictionary.

"The set on my left hand side is the knowledge necessary to solve the problem, and it is called mathematics.

The thick book on my right is called a dictionary.

Your library must have books that teach people how to read and write, and the dictionary in my hand was an essential teaching material for teaching people how to read and write in that era.

The Library of All Things is home to a large number of talented people, so it shouldn't be difficult to find a linguist who is well versed in ancient languages.

As long as you give him this book in my hand and let him comprehend it thoroughly, you will be able to understand the other knowledge in the book.

In addition, I have some other books here. In addition to these three, I recommend them the most.”

Yang Yu kept talking about how good the book in his hand was, and told everyone here that if they missed this opportunity, they would miss it. If the Library of All Things did not want to buy this knowledge, he would have to find another job.

Passing the book around in their hands, the elders of the Countermeasures Committee cast passionate glances at the book in Yang Yu's hand. They knew the value of this kind of thing better than anyone else.

"The value of books is undeniable. But why are you so sure that these books can help us, the Library of All Things, solve the problems that have been bothering us?"

Pretending to reminisce, Yang Yu's every word was sonorous and powerful.

“In the era I witnessed, everyone had profound knowledge, and people could learn all kinds of knowledge without leaving home.

Even a vast knowledge base like the Library of Everything can be packed up and taken away in just a small box. There is no need to build such a huge library.

The books I am providing you now are to open the door to that era. They are also most likely the revelations left by the ancient civilization for subsequent civilizations when it collapsed.

If you can understand the knowledge thoroughly and apply it with ease.

A new era will come.”

As he spoke, Yang Yu took out the laptop he had taken from the system.

“This is the box I mentioned that can hold all the knowledge in the library.

Unfortunately, I don’t know how to use this box. It seems to lack some energy to run it. Perhaps that energy is hidden in these books.

Whether what I said is true or false is entirely up to you to judge.

I believe this thing will be most useful in your hands than in mine."

Staring at the black box in Yang Yu's hand with interest, the people in the Countermeasures Committee showed a different look in their eyes, and they did not hesitate.

"Tell me your terms, what do we need to pay you?"

With a grin, Yang Yu replied: "What I need is actually not a big deal."
