Bro, Need a Hand?

Xu Nan was unaware that a conspiracy against him had silently failed.

He had no idea how pretentious his act of reciting books and leveling up in front of the group of five was.

It wasn't until he finished reading the books in his hand that he realized something was off about the atmosphere in the library.

"Brother... you..." a young sorcerer stammered, "You ate all the books, won't that violate the rules of the Great Library?"

Xu Nan firmly shook her head. "No."

The four of them wondered in unison: Could there be something going on behind this guy's firm stance?

So he looked at Xu Nan with curiosity.

Instead, it was Xu Nan who looked at them with a surprised expression:

"When did you guys, such innocent and naive babies, appear among Ron Sorcerer?"

The four were so ashamed they wanted to disappear.

Yeah, he's so honest, people who go out are embarrassed to admit they're Ron Sorcerer.

Xu Nan was certain that he would not violate the rules.

Although the Great Library has many separate reading rooms, those shrewd Ron Sorcerer are definitely watching. Since no one has given him a yellow card warning for eating books, there must be no problem.

"Help me..."

The guy on the ground is still groaning.

Xu Nan frowned. He had already eaten most of the books in the library, except for this one.

The reason, of course, was not that Xu Nan had taken pity on him, but rather that the book was of such poor quality that it forced people to use the back door. It would be strange if anyone could even swallow this kind of stuff!

Xu Nan knocked the book unconscious with a single blow of his staff, and then kicked the guy on the ground, who was looking at him with gratitude.

Alchemy Primer

"Hmm, an unimportant book," Xu Nan said, pointing to the book on the floor. "Put this book back on the shelf. I'm going to another library."

"Brothers, until we meet again!"

After that, Xu Nan left without waiting.

He ran to the next library without stopping.

As soon as I entered, I saw two warlocks being chased and beaten by a bunch of Magic Book!

Since others had arrived first, Xu Nan, being quite respectful of the rules, calmly asked:

"Hey bro, need any help?"

"Yes, we need it!" The two were overjoyed, but the next second, the expression on their faces changed from surprise to the terror that villains in fantasy novels love to show!

Xu Nan rolled up his sleeves and, without any hesitation, pounced on the Magic Book and started munching on it!

His alchemy skills improved rapidly.

Actually, the Magic Book that go berserk in the Great Library are relatively mild, and compared to those in the Demon God Monastery that turn into rice-pecking birds and hunt monsters at the drop of a hat, they are practically well-behaved babies.

Unless he encounters an extremely strong opponent, Xu Nan always takes matters into his own hands and uses his bare hands to subdue them.

From initially pairing Books with Yogurt, Xu Nan eventually got tired of following Jie's lead and started eating Hand-Torn Books directly.

The two sorcerers, who had been thoroughly thrashed by the Magic Book, were completely stunned.

No need to spend it, another wave of Activity Points will come.

The most lethal kind of showing off is the subtle kind!

The evaluation of Xu Nan appeared on the Quest Card very slowly!

[Number of Pretend-to-be-Cool Instances by 1]

[Review: Brilliant. Absolutely stunning! When someone's life reaches a certain level of ferocity, even their breathing becomes an act of swagger—that person is you!]

[Activity Points:]

Life is as lonely as an avalanche!

Xu Nan ate her book while feeling a faint sense of melancholy.

He ate his way through the library, devouring all the alchemy books in five libraries in one go!

It's worth mentioning that when Xu Nan stepped into the sixth library, he was already surrounded by a group of people!

These people were all "terrified" by Xu Nan. They followed Xu Nan to see how long this burly man would eat and whether he would eat his way through the Great Library!

Of course, there's another reason. Some people discovered that every time Xu Nan finished eating the books in a library, the Great Library's activity calculation system would automatically categorize the books in that library as "cleaned up," and those who remained in the library would receive points for cleaning that library, and these points would be split equally.

In other words, as long as they follow Xu Nan, they can earn points from this Great Library event.

As for studying... well, most people, seeing Xu Nan's ferocious eating habits, silently gave up on the idea. Not to mention whether they could beat Xu Nan ... they couldn't even beat those Magic Book!

Actually, Xu Nan was already quite full when he arrived at the sixth library. Fortunately, the "Devour Ravenously" skill was working its magic to digest all the energy from the Magic Book, otherwise he would have been stuffed to death long ago.

At the same time, a new status appeared below his character card.

[The Fear of Magic Books: You are haunted by the vengeful spirits of too many Magic Book; their dying fears linger over you.]

[Effect: All Magic Book will be hostile towards you; upon encountering you, they will either fight to the death or flee for their lives.]

Xu Nan had a bit of a headache. Had eating books caused side effects?

It seems I need to be more restrained in the future. While it's certainly enjoyable to consume Magic Book, we can't go against the core principle of sustainable development!

Of course, now that the door has been opened, we should naturally take advantage of everything.

At that moment, he smiled slightly and called out towards the spacious sixth library:

"Brother..."

Before he could finish speaking, a chorus of voices came from behind him:

"Do you need any help?"

The combined noise of about ten people echoed through the library like a surround sound system, creating a powerful and imposing atmosphere, almost like a gangster movie.

Actually, the few sorcerers in the library had barely managed to seal a Magic Book, and were preparing to seal it with magic. But now, Xu Nan seemed like a gang leader bringing his henchmen to claim territory, and they immediately cowered.

"It's necessary..."

Xu Nan smiled with satisfaction, "Then put down that book and let me do it!"

At that very moment, all the Magic Book in the library suddenly started running around like crazy!

From the initial berserk state, he completely descended into a state of frenzy!

This sudden turn of events caught Xu Nan off guard.

He nervously pulled out his Iron Gauntlets and Innocent Staff, and also cast a Shield Spell on himself!

"Could it be that the Fear of Magic Books on my body has triggered these guys' survival instinct, and they're going to fight me to the death?"

Xu Nan's heart skipped a beat.

There are more than ten books in this library. If you really fight Xu Nan to the death, the outcome will be very difficult.

As it turned out, Xu Nan only guessed half of it correctly.

His appearance did indeed ignite the survival instinct in these books.

But they did not attack Xu Nan.

They all transformed into frenzied monsters, relentlessly attacking the other warlocks' backdoors, leaving everyone terrified!

It was clearly this tough guy who kept eating the book, while we were just following behind to rack up points, so why were he chasing after us and attacking us?

Xu Nan stood blankly in the center of the room. He was clearly the easiest target, but all the Magic Book bypassed him and attacked the other sorcerers instead!

That's a bit strange.

The actions of these books are remarkably consistent... Have they discovered a weakness in humanity?

The Magic Book has even learned to exploit weaknesses? That's ridiculously advanced.

Xu Nan frowned and slowly left the library.

There's no way around it; these books all more or less exploit those weaknesses, and I can't just keep taking advantage of them, can I?

That's disgusting!

Let's head to the next library.

However, what Xu Nan did not expect was that not only this library was like this, but all the rampaging Magic Book in the entire Great Library suddenly began to attack the sorcerers' "weaknesses" like crazy!

Xu Nan was puzzled.

It wasn't until he saw a group of Magic Book secretly gathering in a spacious library, and one of the somewhat familiar Magic Book was muttering something to itself, that Xu Nan finally realized what was going on!

I thought someone had secretly leaked the news, but it turns out it was you!

That book, "Alchemy Primer"!

Xu Nan was furious and swung his Innocent Staff to beat her up!

If he could understand the language of the Magic Book, he would know exactly what was going on.

The Magic Book have a strong ability to communicate with each other.

Ever since Xu Nan started eating books, almost all the Magic Book in the Great Library have known about it. A Great Devil has arrived, who eats Magic Book, and is ruthless and vicious.

The Magic Book began to panic; although they were in a berserk state, they still retained their intelligence.

Just then, the book "Alchemy Primer" popped up and told everyone not to panic!

He proved with his own experience of escaping death that even the Great Devil Xu Nan has flaws, and that as long as you follow his methods, you can survive!

And so, a massive "butt-exploding" movement unfolded among the Magic Book.

Xu Nan was frustrated.

But the other sorcerers perished!

For a moment, chaos erupted in the Great Library as the sorcerers were utterly baffled as to why these Magic Book had suddenly become interested in their weaknesses!

Under the astonished gazes of the members of the Daily Council, the Great Library was transformed into a bustling marketplace!

"This... this..." The Council Speaker suggested, "Should I go and stop them? These Magic Book are outrageous!"

Luo Mang stood up and smiled, "It's alright."

"I'll go."

Amidst the commotion, Xu Nan was so angry that she lost all interest in reading.

There was nothing he could do; these Magic Book were incredibly cunning. Knowing he had some psychological issues, they shamelessly tried to implant themselves into other sorcerers, completely ruining Xu Nan's appetite.

Fortunately, his alchemy level has been raised to level 5, which is the same as his main profession level.

In particular, he has maxed out all the skills in enchanting and potion making, and has absorbed a large number of recipes. Now, if he closes his eyes and thinks about anything, he can come up with top-tier potion recipes.

Unfortunately, due to the limitations of his Magic Book level, he only mastered most of the first-tier potions and enchantments, but that was enough.

This would be an invaluable asset for anyone else, and Xu Nan knew he couldn't be too greedy.

"Are you full?"

Mr. Luo Mang's tall figure appeared in front of Xu Nan.

Xu Nan thought for a moment:

"I'm full, but I still want to eat."

Luo Mang laughed heartily, "That's right."

"Come with me to the basement level."

"You still have that key with you, right?"

...!
