You're Truly a Dog

The power of technology is immense.

Especially technology from a higher civilization.

In just a few minutes, Chen Fan, under Gao Yuan's horrified gaze, "read" an entire bookshelf of books.

Seeing Chen Fan stride towards the next bookshelf, Gao Yuan finally couldn't sit still.

"Hey, hey, wait a minute!"

He reached out and grabbed Chen Fan, then casually picked up a book with slightly yellowed pages from a nearby bookshelf.

"I need to ask you something."

"What is the standard procedure for a Divine Blessing?"

Chen Fan glanced indifferently at the book in Gao Yuan's hand and answered with ease, "Believers go to the West Main Church to pray to the Goddess. After the Goddess responds to the prayer, believers can go to the South Main Church to receive the Blessing Ceremony."

Gao Yuan was stunned for a moment. "What you said sounds quite plausible, but this is basic common sense, it doesn't explain..."

Chen Fan directly interrupted Gao Yuan:

"Detailed Explanation of the Divine Blessing Procedure, page 3, line 61. Pages 4 and 10 describe the prayer attire requirements, prayer ceremony procedure, and prayer words, respectively."

"The prayer attire requirements are on page 4, line 3. When praying at the West Main Church, believers must wear..."

Gao Yuan's expression froze, then he lowered his head skeptically and flipped through the book in his hand, wanting to verify Chen Fan's words.

As he flipped through the pages, the expression on Gao Yuan's face gradually solidified.

"How, how is this possible?!"

Gao Yuan looked through the ancient text in his hand, then looked up and down at Chen Fan in front of him.

Looking at the holographic teleprompter automatically displaying the book's content and Gao Yuan's expression as if he had seen a ghost, the corners of Chen Fan's mouth began to curl up.

It was hard to suppress, the corners of his mouth were harder to suppress than an AK.

If he had this Intelligent Terminal in his previous life, he couldn't even imagine how happy he would be!

Under Chen Fan's gaze, Gao Yuan, somewhat unconvinced, took a new ancient text from the bookshelf. "Then, the God Chosen Ceremony..."

"The God Chosen One, page 2, line 1."

"The time and place for the God Chosen Ceremony should follow the will of the God."

"At the beginning of each year of the Varrela Calendar, the Archbishop and Bishops pray to the Goddess at the West Main Church and listen to the Divine Decree of the Goddess to determine the specific requirements for the God Chosen Ceremony."

"In the God Chosen Ceremony, after the Goddess chooses the God Chosen, the Church should fully instruct the God Chosen..."

Looking at Chen Fan, who was speaking incessantly as if reading from an ancient text, Gao Yuan felt numb.

"I told you, I'm reading a book."

Chen Fan looked at the holographic teleprompter in front of him matter-of-factly. "Now you should believe me, right?"

Gao Yuan's lips trembled a few times, still not believing Chen Fan's words.

"You, you really read books with your hands?"

"Yes, is there a problem? Is there a rule that says hands can't read books?"

Gao Yuan: "?"

Gao Yuan returned to his desk in a daze, while constantly stroking the books in front of him with his hand.

The child was almost fooled silly.

Looking at the comical scene in front of him, Chen Fan chuckled and turned around to walk towards the next bookshelf.

[Chen Fan.]

[You're really a dog!]

One's voice sounded in his mind.

Scanning and inputting the books didn't take too long.

In about two to three hours, Chen Fan had all the books in the Church Library entered into One's database.

Chen Fan himself was quite satisfied with this speed.

But One held a completely opposite view.

[Slow, it's too slow!]

[If I could unlock this damn visitor permission, this unit would show you what quantum reading is.]

[Give this unit one second, and this unit can scan all the books in the entire library!]

Listening to One's complaints in his mind, Chen Fan was immediately a little surprised: You can't unlock the visitor permission?

It can't be, right?

Isn't this Intelligent Terminal controlled by you?

One fell silent.

After a long pause, the synthesized voice spoke again.

[This unit cannot change administrator permissions.]

[You can understand this as a limitation in this unit's underlying code.]

'Then who can change administrator permissions?'

[The Human Alliance Academy of Sciences.]

[To be precise, it is the central main brain of the Human Alliance Academy of Sciences.]

Chen Fan nodded thoughtfully, temporarily pushing aside the idea of obtaining higher permissions. 'Has the analysis of the books in the library been completed?'

'Are there any anomalies?'

As Chen Fan asked One in his mind, he casually walked over to Gao Yuan and lightly patted his shoulder. "Old Gao... What the hell? What are you doing?!"

"Me?"

Gao Yuan looked up at Chen Fan with a bewildered expression. "Can't you tell I'm reading?"

"You... You read like this?"

Looking at Gao Yuan's affectionate gesture of stroking the book pages, Chen Fan felt a chill rise from the bottom of his heart.

"Yeah, didn't you teach me this?"

Gao Yuan looked at Chen Fan mysteriously. "Chen Fan, I found your method quite useful."

Chen Fan: ?

What did he teach?

"Reading with your hands!"

Gao Yuan looked at the book in front of him "affectionately". "I found that stroking the pages with my hand while reading significantly improves memory."

Chen Fan: ???

Are you sure you're reading a proper book?

"You... Whatever makes you happy."

Chen Fan shook his head, casting aside the wicked thoughts in his mind, and then sat back down in his chair.

[The analysis results are out.]

[This unit has found a total of 37,968 descriptions related to that disaster.]

[Among them, 314 descriptions have fundamental logical conflicts.]

[It can now be basically confirmed that this history has been significantly altered artificially.]

As soon as the voice finished, a holographic image appeared before Chen Fan again.

[Similar to the description in the Varrela Chronicle, all descriptions of that disaster mention countless fireballs appearing in the sky.]

[Some descriptions are relatively detailed in their text, and this unit can help you find them.]

Varrela Calendar Year One.

Old Calendar Year 1800.

Countless fireballs hung high in the sky, emitting a dazzling light comparable to the sun.

Disaster descended.

Gales tore through the entire city, shredding anything in their path into countless fragments.

For a time, life on the land was devastated.

But this disaster was far from over.

Even those who escaped the initial gales continued to die from a mysterious force invisible to the naked eye.

The bodies of those who were lucky enough to survive the storm looked as if they had been burned by fire, with blisters appearing everywhere due to the scorching.

Sores, flesh separating from bone...

In just a few days, living beings died in endless agony.

All beings cried out to the God for help.

And so, the Goddess descended from the sky in a Divine Carriage.

She extinguished the fireballs hanging high in the sky and waved her hand, sending down rain upon the land to wash away the sins of all beings.

The rain washed over the bodies of living beings, dispelling the invisible mysterious force.

The heavy rain lasted for several days, and the heavily polluted surface of the land was restored to its original state.

In the same year, Varrela City was born upon the land, becoming the last pure land on the polluted earth.
