Treasure Chests and Books

"This is the major node you were referring to?"

Standing in front of the sink, Gu Xi asked curiously.

At this moment, Luna was adjusting the image reflected in the bathroom sink mirror.

Just as Luna said, the area opposite the washbasin in front of them is mostly a restroom, and judging from the current situation, most of them are women's restrooms.

"No, large nodes are those woven from at least five or six different strange rules. This one only has one strange rule, so it doesn't even qualify as a node; at most, it's just a passage."

"Okay, I've found it. It's the mirror in the women's restroom on the second floor of No. 22-17 Nanliu Road Main Street. Sir, please wait a moment."

Before Gu Xi could make a move, Luna slipped into the mirror. Then, without any visible movement from the other side of the sink, Luna dragged a woman wearing a red skirt and with her hair hanging down out of the mirror out of the mirror.

"That's enough, the anomaly has been dealt with."

Luna rolled up the woman she had dragged out of the bathroom and stuffed her into the cabinet under the sink before turning to Gu Xi and speaking.

"Killed them?"

Gu Xi pointed to the woman who had been stuffed into the closet and asked curiously.

"No, this kind of weirdness can't be killed. And unlike the previous Mirror Weird, it doesn't just disappear temporarily after the rules are drawn. This thing will revive on the spot very quickly after being killed. There's no way to guarantee that it will definitely die."

So we can only leave her here for now. If you want to kill her, come back tonight and see if there are any corresponding rules or methods for handling her.

"No need, we don't rely on that to earn points."

As Gu Xi spoke, he climbed onto the sink and crawled out through the mirror.

The next instant, Gu Xi seemed to squeeze through a thick curtain of water and climbed out of the women's restroom on the second floor of No. 22-17 Nanliu Road Main Street.

Because it wasn't time yet, the security guards didn't let anyone in, and the building was still empty.

Gu Xi checked the time, and without lingering, quickly ran up to the third floor.

At the men's restroom at the end of the third-floor corridor, Gu Xi decisively pushed open the second stall.

Standing in the cubicle, Gu Xi reached out and removed the toilet tank lid. He then discovered that someone had packed a large stack of magazines in a plastic bag and placed them in the tank.

Because they were wrapped quite tightly, Gu Xi wasn't sure what kind of magazines they were, so Gu Xi simply took them all out and then put the lid of the water tank back on.

When Gu Xi removed the lid just now, he already knew that the lid was the Weird Treasure Chest they were looking for.

After obtaining the treasure chest, Gu Xi did not leave the building from the front.

They didn't go back to the women's restroom on the second floor.

Gu Xi used his ability and instantly returned to the Council Hall of Aryadovi City.

After glancing around, Gu Xi knew that Luna must have led her troops out to war. He didn't ask Luna to open the door for him, but instead took out the things he had brought back.

Gu Xi hasn't looked at the Weird Treasure Chest yet; he's more curious about the 19 books.

Gu Xi remembers very clearly that his library is still missing books.

Now that 19 books have arrived, even if they only generate one attribute, it will still be an improvement to the library.

Gu Xi quickly opened the plastic bag containing the magazines and poured them out.

Because they were packaged very securely, these magazines, despite being kept in water, did not feel damp at all.

As Gu Xi held the magazines in his hands, he couldn't help but grin. He glanced around before moving the magazines aside.

However, Gu Xi had already seen the nature of these magazines.

These magazines are of much better quality than the Fairy Tale Book that were originally placed in the Gu Xi Library. Two are green, one is Blue Quality, and the rest are all white.

["《Giant? High School Student》" (Green): Full-color personal photobook, a very serious magazine, not suitable for children.]

["《Underground Idol Girl Group》" (Green): A magazine used to introduce a very hardworking 《Underground Idol Girl Group》, highlighting their efforts and poverty. Not suitable for children.]

[...]

Gu Xi carefully flipped through the magazines and discovered something strange: all the magazines were of varying quality, but none of them had a corresponding quality attribute.

At this moment, Gu Xi couldn't even tell the difference between the blue and green quality magazines and the white quality magazines.

Is it because the content in the magazine is more attractive? It doesn't seem like something that would be used to increase attributes.

Despite his puzzled expression, Gu Xi still read through all nineteen magazines, then compiled them into a stack and sent them to the library.

In the library, the Corpse Succubus was still sitting at her desk, reading fairy tales incessantly.

It's clear that she's quite obedient to Gu Xi's orders.

As Gu Xi delivered the nineteen magazines to the library, he heard a voice.

[The library's collection has increased, reaching 39 books (32/100). Please continue to add to the library's collection.]

[The library's book collection has shifted, but the weekly pea production remains unchanged. Additionally, a Fairy Tale Character will appear in the library each week (female only, cannot be retained, cannot be created as a ghost, but can be used to make wishes or trade).]

Gu Xi was still observing the changes in the library when the Corpse Succubus, who had been reading Fairy Tale Book, picked up a newly added magazine and started flipping through it.

As she looked at him, she glanced up at Gu Xi.

"You... like this kind of thing?"

Huh? Gu Xi then realized that he had arranged for the Corpse Succubus to study here, and as a result, it could talk.

Unexpectedly, the Corpse Succubus picked up one of the magazines, flipped through a few pages, and said to Gu Xi, "I can do these actions too, and I can do them even better than them."

"No, I brought these books here to upgrade the library's level. The library said before that it would arrange Fairy Tale Character every week, but it hasn't been done yet, so I thought there must be a problem with that."

I specifically sought out these books.

Gu Xi said in a very serious tone.

The Corpse Succubus looked at Gu Xi with a look in her eyes that seemed to say, "Guess whether I believe you or not."

"Okay, these books were found outside, not bought by me. Now I need to fill up the library."

"Then, do I still need to study here?"

The Corpse Succubus raised the magazine in her hand and stared at Gu Xi, asking a question.

"Of course, you should study first, and we'll wait for you..."

"I'll learn it and then use it on you?"
