Escape From the Library

Yue Xingwen checked the literature for a day, and his temples were throbbing with pain. The strange hall in front of him and the cold mechanical sound in his ears were like hallucinations produced by excessive use of the brain.He pinched his arm severely, but the clear sharp pain told him - this is not a hallucination!

Yue Xingwen asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

Mechanical voice: "Hello, I am the library system instructor."

System tutor?There was no one around, but the voice rang clearly in his mind.Yue Xingwen raised his eyebrows, and said as politely as possible: "Please let me out. I'm very busy, and I have to hand in my thesis tomorrow, so I don't have time to play games with you."

Mechanical voice: "Sorry, students who enter the "Escape from the Library" survival game cannot leave the library before clearing the level."

Yue Xingwen held back his anger: "Is this a forced game? What if I have to leave?"

Mechanical voice: "You can try."

Yue Xingwen rubbed his wrist lightly, and suddenly, he turned around and punched the glass door behind him like lightning!There was a loud "bang" in the ear, however, the glass door remained motionless, not even a single crack appeared.

This is not a school library.

The material of the glass door of the library is very ordinary, but when he punched out just now, it seemed to hit a cold, hard wall, and the sharp pain from the back of his hand also confirmed his inference - for some reason, he seemed to have misunderstood Entered a strange closed space and couldn't get out?

Yue Xingwen took a deep breath, turned around and looked at the hall in front of him, and asked calmly: "What are the rules of the game?" Since he couldn't get out, he had to calm down and see what the library was for.

Mechanical voice: "The following reads the new students' admission requirements——

1. The library adopts the credit system.The curriculum includes compulsory courses and elective courses.The compulsory course is a copy that every student must clear and cannot be skipped; the elective course can be chosen freely.After completing all required courses and a total of 100 credits, you can successfully graduate from the library and return to the original world;

2. The library elevator will take you to different floors, and each floor corresponds to a different college or functional area.The floor you are currently on is: the functional area on the negative first floor, the library database;

3. There will be a system score after the course is over, and the points you will finally get are: credits × assessment score.For example, the course you pass is 2 credits, and the pass score is 75 points, and the points you finally get are 2×75=150 points.The higher the credits, the more difficult the courses are. Please consider how to choose courses according to your own advantages;

4. The rewarded points can be used to purchase learning materials in the library database, including professional skill books and professional-related props.The extra points can also be used to set up a research group and team up with other students to break through the level;

5. Death during the compulsory course examination is equivalent to failing at the end of the semester. We will not give re-examination opportunities. Those who fail will be sent back to the first floor to retake; if you fail to pass the retake, you will be completely obliterated by the library system. died of various accidents;

6. Please study hard, strive to complete the credits as soon as possible, and graduate from the library. "

Yue Xingwen: "..."

His mind was buzzing, and he wished he could use both hands to peel off his head to drive out the voice in his mind completely.

Yue Xingwen closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths, and gradually regained his composure in his mind.

Survival games, he has heard of them before, and there are many similar games in reality, such as escape rooms, script killings, etc., but there has never been a real person who was wiped out after the game failed. The strange space he entered this time is actually " A real life survival game"?

He probably understands the rules of the library. A dungeon is equal to a course. Completing the dungeon will give you credits. If you accumulate 100 credits, you will be able to graduate.He now has limited understanding of this "library system", so he can only follow the other party's prompts to go on first.Since it is a "credit system", there must be students from other majors who come to the library.I will ask others later to see how I can get out of this ghost place as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Yue Xingwen said simply: "Okay. What should I do next?"

System Tutor: "Please take the Chinese Department Entrance Qualification Examination. If you can't even complete the entrance examination for this major, your courses in other colleges will be even worse."

Yue Xingwen nodded: "Okay, you are the tutor and you have the final say. Where are the test papers?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge LCD screen 3 meters wide and 2 meters high appeared out of nowhere in the middle of the hall.A row of striking characters appeared on the screen: [Library Chinese Department Entrance Qualification Test, please select the test papers: A, B, C, D, E, F]

In the Yue Xingwen exam, he chose C when he encountered a question he didn't know. This time he didn't hesitate: "Choose paper C."

A white test paper was slowly unfolded on the LCD screen, and four words appeared at the same time: [The exam begins].

"Question 5: Please use [-] seconds to say the idiom containing numbers. The more numbers the better, the countdown—"

5 seconds!Looking at the 5-second countdown that popped up on the big screen, Yue Xingwen had no time to think about it, and almost blurted out: "One is poor, the other is white, and the third is from four virtues, colorful, seven ups and downs, nine out of ten!"

The time just counted down to 1.

A line of words popped up on the screen: "The answer is correct, the answer includes ten numbers, and you get 20 points."

"Question 10: Please say the eight-character idiom containing the character '人', count down for [-] seconds—"

Yue Xingwen speaks quickly: "People are swords and I am fish and meat. It takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to cultivate people. If people don't offend me, I won't offend them. There is no one before or after. One person can ascend to heaven. People have the same heart and the same reason. It is up to people to plan things Everything is done in heaven, and when a person is about to die, his words are good!"

He read 8 Chinese idioms in a row and barely had time to catch his breath.

When the countdown ends, a prompt pops up on the screen: "If you answer correctly, you will get 32 ​​points."

"For the third question, please name five idioms containing metal, wood, water, fire, and earth respectively, count down for 5 seconds—"

Yue Xingwen said without hesitation: "The golden cicada sheds its shell, has a heart of wood and stone, the water is calm, fuel is added to the fire, and it is safe to be buried in the ground."

"If you answer correctly, you get 10 points."

——Rope C is actually full of idioms.

Yue Xingwen was a little glad that he got the C paper.The idiom test is actually not difficult for the students of the Chinese Department. If you give everyone a class time to write slowly, he believes that the students can write a large number of idioms.

However, if people say the relevant idioms quickly in just a few seconds, students who respond slower may get stuck.This test is mainly about brain speed, the brain turns faster, try to say as many idioms as required, the higher the score will be.

Yue Xingwen is a member of the school's debate team. He has a quick brain and often leaves people speechless in debate competitions.Such a paper is not too difficult for him, and he scored more than 60 on the fourth question.

System instructor: "Student Yue Xingwen has passed the entrance examination, please receive the reward for passing the examination."

Yue Xingwen was stunned for a moment, he thought he had to finish the whole test, but he didn't expect that after 60 points, he didn't have to do the remaining questions, and if he passed, he would be rewarded.That is to say, most people can pass the entrance examination. Even if you only get 2 points for one question, you can still pass 30 questions, as long as you get 60 points before reading all the questions in the exam paper.This is equivalent to the "novice task" in the game. After completing it, will there be novice equipment?

Yue Xingwen looked around expectantly: "What about the reward?"

Suddenly, on the bookshelves around the empty hall, a thick book slowly floated in front of Yue Xingwen as if controlled by a spell.

Yue Xingwen took a closer look—it turned out to be "Modern Idiom Dictionary".

It's just that this dictionary is not the same as the dictionary he memorized in high school. Although it is also a thick book, like a brick, which can kill people, the golden words "Published by the Library" are written on the cover of the dictionary. It looks very advanced.

Yue Xingwen opened the dictionary and saw several rows of printed characters on the first page of the dictionary——

【Modern Idiom Dictionary】

Source: Obtained in the entrance examination, or exchanged for points in the library database

Publisher: Library

Skill book limited: Chinese department students

Skill book level: Level [-] (can be upgraded with points)

Please check the follow-up content for unlocked idioms.

Yue Xingwen turned a page backwards.

In the upper left corner of the second page, there is a Q-version picture of "children lying on the ground", followed by a line of red words——

Five Body Casting: Use the skill to make the designated target kneel down and salute you in the posture of "five body throwing"; cooldown time is 5 minutes.

Turning back, there are 15 Q-version children printed on this page, 7 of which are flying in the sky and 8 are crawling underground.There is also a text description behind the picture——

Up and down: Use skills to select 1 targets within the field of vision, let seven of them fly into the air and eight of them lie on the ground; cooldown time is [-] hour.

On the fourth page, a chubby golden cicada took off its shell.

Golden Cicada Escape Shell: When you are controlled or surrounded, release the control and move to the designated place 10 meters away.24 hours cooldown.

Turning back, a sentence appeared: "More idioms can be unlocked after upgrading the skill book."

Yue Xingwen: "..."

Is this a joke?The interpretation of the idiom completely deviates, and it becomes a strange skill, and it is also accompanied by a cute Q-version picture?

In a thick "Dictionary of Modern Idioms", there are only three idioms appearing on the first three pages, and the rest are all blank paper.Obviously, the skill book he drew can be upgraded with points. After the upgrade, more idioms will be entered, and the book will become more and more powerful.

Out of curiosity, Yue Xingwen asked: "The C paper I chose was all about idioms, and I was awarded a copy of "Modern Idioms Dictionary" in the end, so what are the topics of the A, B, D, E, and F papers of the entrance exam? Are the rewards different?"

Library Instructor: "A test for punctuation will be rewarded with "Punctuation Encyclopedia"; B test for typos will be rewarded with "Chinese Dictionary"; D test for poetry appreciation and analysis will be awarded "Tang Poetry", "Song Ci" and "Yuan Qu"; E test For contemporary literature, a collection of works by well-known contemporary writers will be rewarded; for the examination of Classical Chinese in Volume F, relevant ancient books will be rewarded for a subset of classics and history."

It seems that the rewards are quite rich?Yue Xingwen then asked: "Can I redeem these books with points in the database?"

Library Instructor: "Yes. The library database is always open to students of this major, and points can be exchanged for all information books."

Yue Xingwen glanced at the bookshelves surrounding the four walls in the hall. There were countless books that could be exchanged, including "The Complete Works of Lu Xun", "The Complete Works of Zhang Ailing" and other anthologies of contemporary writers who can be named; "The Analects of Confucius" ", "Book of Songs", "Book of Changes" and other ancient books are also quite comprehensive.

The library instructor reminded: "Your points are definitely not enough to exchange too many information books, because most of the information books in the Chinese Department have more than 2000 points for exchange points, and only 300 points are needed to upgrade the information books. Usually, we encourage students to exchange The information books obtained in the initial stage are upgraded and used, each book has its own characteristics, and it is better to learn more than to learn well.”

Yue Xingwen probed calmly: "Students who enter the library for other majors, are they also rewarded with information books?"

Library Instructor: "Different majors have different rewards. There are many functional props for science majors, but for Chinese students—text is your best weapon. Isn't it?"

Yue Xingwen agreed: "That's true."

It seemed that his guess was correct, besides him, there were many unlucky people from other professions who were also pulled in.Yue Xingwen paused, and said seriously: "Next, I'm going to take the required courses, right?"

"Yes. The elevator has arrived, please begin your journey."

Yue Xingwen closed the dictionary and wanted to put it away. The brick-sized dictionary seemed to sense the master's thoughts, and it turned into a small book icon printed on his palm.He tried to raise his hand, and the dictionary appeared again.When he wanted to put it away in his mind, it would obediently turn into an icon and return to his palm.

Yes, this dictionary is easy to carry and quite obedient.

Yue Xingwen gathered his palms together and walked forward quickly.

With a sound of "ding", an elevator appeared in the center of the hall. Yue Xingwen walked into the elevator, and a gentle male electronic voice sounded in his ears: "Student Yue Xingwen, the floor you are currently on is: library database on the first floor, The floor to be delivered to is: [-]st Floor - School of Medicine."

The field of vision fell into darkness.

Yue Xingwen felt the elevator rising rapidly, and only 3 seconds later, the elevator door slowly opened in front of his eyes.

The system prompt sounded again: "Welcome to the medical school floor. The compulsory course "Escape from the Laboratory", credit 2, the challenge begins."
