Doomsday game, my supplies increased tenfold

Bo Mu shrugged and didn't care about Xiao Qi's misunderstanding of her.

"If there is a choice, who would want to dress like this? I actually have a pretty good taste in clothes... I see you like to wear light-colored clothes, but you will only wear this military coat after the extreme cold, so I also made you a dark green scarf."

Bo Mu took out a scarf from his backpack. Xiao Qi took the scarf and examined it, and found that the weaving craftsmanship of the scarf was extraordinary. The method was something she had never seen before, but it was obviously warmer and more delicate.

"Then at least choose the same color scheme... otherwise it will look really funny. Where did this scarf come from? Has anyone got the blueprint?"

"I made it myself. I got the Weaving skill book for the Weaving craft. This skill is actually quite good. You can make things like trap nets and bamboo tools, but I'm only at the beginner level right now, so I can't make anything except sweaters, scarves, and very low-quality fishing nets. I can only make some scarves and sell them."

This kind of skill book is the first time Xiao Qi has heard of it, but it is quite useful.

"I see...I like it very much."

Xiao Qi accepted Bo Mu's gift with peace of mind and put it around his neck.

"At this stage, there are not many people who have mid- to high-level sewing skill books. Even if there are, few people can make clothes with rich styles and colors, and the profit is too small. I will ask around in the next few days. If there is such a person, I will recommend it to you so that you can change the clothes you are wearing."

Bo Mu didn't care much about his clothes and nodded perfunctorily.

After inputting the destination into the End Car system, the two of them leaned back in their seats and took a short rest.

Although it is a library, no one knows the situation inside, so neither of them dares to slack off. They still have to get enough rest before facing the challenge.

The library was not too far from them. Half an hour later, an isolated building appeared in front of them. There were no signs of other players having been here. Perhaps it was because places like libraries were not cost-effective, but the degree of danger was hard to say, so they were ignored by everyone.

At this stage, places like supermarkets and shopping malls have been almost completely looted, with almost no supplies to be seen. Even the farms have been looted. Only places like libraries are temporarily deserted, and people will have nowhere to go in the future. It's hard to say what will happen here.

Xiao Qi handed Bomu dozens of hot packs, and Bomu was tactful enough to stick them inside his coat.

After wrapping themselves up, the two got out of the car and left a narrow trail of footprints on the snow leading to the library.

This library is not small, with about four floors. Except for the first floor which has no books and serves as a study room, the other floors are densely packed with books. Looking up from the first floor, you can see books stored in different categories in each room.

This scene was like heaven to Bo Mu, who loved reading. Seeing this scene, Xiao Qi couldn't help but be infected and excited.

The two of them briefly searched the first floor, and after finding nothing useful, they went straight to the second floor.

Walk into any grid, and you will see towering bookshelves inside. It can be seen that these bookshelves are made of high-grade materials. They are still sturdy after such a long time. There are also many patterns with various meanings painted on them, which look ancient and mysterious.

Xiao Qi picked up a book at random. On the cover was a name she didn't recognize written in gold-plated fonts, which seemed to tempt people to open it.

However, when Xiao Qi really opened the book, the fragile paper would break into pieces every time he turned it.

The situation was the same on Bo Mu's side, so she had to carefully close the book and come to Xiao Qi.

"Because the weather was so cold, the papers became very fragile and could not withstand our reading."

Bo Mu's eyes were filled with heartache. For a book lover, what is more terrifying than having no books to read is probably looking at these layers of books but not being able to read any of them.

Xiao Qi patted Bo Mu's shoulder and casually took out a book and put it in her hand.

"It doesn't matter. With so many books, there might be some that I can read. Besides, even if it's difficult to read, I can still read them."

Bo Mu nodded in agreement, and the two began to randomly pick out books to experiment, trying to find some books that could be read normally.

The work lasted for more than an hour. The two people searched from the second floor to the third floor, but still could not find any book that could be read.

Xiao Qi could see that Bo Mu was trying his best to suppress his emotions, but the word "disappointment" was still about to come out.

But there was nothing she could do, so she could only sigh and continue to randomly pick up a book.

This time, the different touch made Xiao Qi dazed. When she realized something was wrong, the book had already struggled to the ground and then turned the pages.

The pages of the book were turned one by one, finally stopping at the middle part and spread out on the ground.

Bo Mu came forward to check the situation and happened to see a wisp of soul floating out of the book, which quickly gathered into a figure.

An old man who looked to be in his sixties appeared in front of the two. He was obviously from a book, and even his figure seemed a little illusory, still a spirit.

Is this... a magic lamp? Xiao Qi had this thought involuntarily.

"Who allowed you to come here? The library doesn't have any of the supplies you need. Leave now and I'll let you go."

The figure suddenly spoke, his tone full of threat and full of energy, not like an old man on his deathbed at all.

Xiao Qi was slightly stunned. Before she could think of a reason, Bo Mu spoke before her.

"This is a library. We are here to read books. What right do you have to expel us? Who are you?"

The figure looked at the two of them scrutinizingly for a long time before bursting into laughter. However, the tone of his laughter was extremely sarcastic, and it was obvious that he did not agree with their purpose.

"I am the librarian of this library. Since you said you are here to read books, I agree that you can stay, but... you must show evidence that you are here to read, otherwise get out immediately."

He was actually a librarian? Both of them were a little surprised, but Bo Mu's expression remained calm.

“How can we prove something like reading?”

"It's simple. In this doomsday, only true readers will come here to read. You just need to meet my expectations of readers, and I will think that you are here to read. Of course, if you fail to meet my expectations...you who disturb my sleep will be punished."

"Okay, then if we prove it, what reward will you give us?"

Bo Mu's tone was calm, and he looked confident. Although Xiao Qi was still a little nervous, he thought that if it was a test of knowledge... Bo Mu should have no problem at all.
