The Quality of Dragon Girl's Original Book
However, Ma Feifei also wanted to know the quality of Yun Qingyang's book, since the two had made a bet before.
Without hesitation, Ma Feifei took out the evaluation device that he had previously put in his spatial ring.
The testing device was a small, square box, seemingly made of iron, hard and black in color, with many patterns engraved all over it that Ma Feifei couldn't understand. In the very center of the box were the three large characters 'Testing Device', which, together with the patterns on the box, gave it a somewhat mysterious feel.
Assessing book quality is simple: just turn on the 'evaluator,' put the book you've written in, close the 'evaluator,' and wait for the results.
During the evaluation process, the evaluator will continuously emit light of various colors, each light representing a different quality of the book. The color of the light when it stops indicates the quality of the book inside the box.
"Quick, let me use it." Yun Qingyang snatched the black box from Ma Feifei's hand, opened it, and put the book he had finished writing inside.
"Is this how it's used?" Yun Qingyang asked, glancing at Ma Feifei after putting his book inside.
Ma Feifei stood up, looked at the arrangement of the books, and then pointed to the open box, saying, "Hmm, just close this."
Yun Qingyang nodded and closed the box. The box emitted a slight 'humming' sound the moment the lid was closed, followed by a wisp of white energy circling around the seam of the box, as if trying to seal it completely.
This was also the first time Ma Feifei had witnessed the process of the 'evaluator' evaluating a book, so he watched very carefully and attentively. Ma Feifei noticed that after the wisp of white energy circled around the gap connecting the box, the engraved patterns on the box seemed to slowly protrude outwards, and different colors began to flow across them.
The originally black box began to change color according to the pattern, first turning from black to white, then blue, yellow, black again, and finally repeating the cycle, starting a new round of color changes.
Clearly, each color flashing on the box represents a different quality level of books in the Mysterious Bookstore, with white being the lowest and White Quality the highest, representing Legendary-grade quality. As for the higher-quality Mythic-grade books, none of them appeared, which puzzled Ma Feifei, who said it required further investigation.
Yun Qingyang was very familiar with the quality of the books in the Mysterious Bookstore. When he saw the various colors that kept flashing on the box and corresponded to the colors of the books in the Bookstore, he guessed that the colors were related to the quality of the books. He became even more nervous and pressed his face against the box, staring at it intently. He also opened his mouth slightly from time to time, as if he was muttering something.
Zhang Caicai, who was watching "Chuka Ichiban!" nearby, was also attracted by this strange phenomenon. She paused her reading and turned her head to look at the scene with curiosity.
"Buzz~~~" The strange and varied lights scattered back and forth, making Ma Feifei feel a little uncomfortable, and his eyes experienced a temporary color blindness.
"Pop~"
After a short but steady wait, the testing device emitted a crisp sound, and the light finally stopped.
The originally black testing device was now covered by white lines, turning the entire device into a black and white interplay.
Hmm... the result was a white paper.
"Pfft~" Ma Feifei finally couldn't help but laugh when she saw that the evaluation device was ultimately defined as white.
"Whoosh~" Yun Qingyang's murderous gaze swept over, and Ma Feifei immediately swallowed her words.
"Why?" Yun Qingyang turned to look at the white patterns on the testing device, asking in bewilderment.
"We'll know why when we look."
Ma Feifei walked over and turned on the testing device. Inside, a white book lay quietly. Unlike the book Yun Qingyang had put in before, this book had a cover. On the cover was a huge Frost Giant Dragon and a masked man in black holding a long sword. The frost dragon lowered its head and roared at it, while the masked Frost Giant Dragon in black held the long sword and looked back at the Frost Giant Dragon. The surrounding background was a desolate expanse of yellow earth.
I must say, the cover is quite imposing and powerful, and it looks very contemporary. If you ignore the title, it does have a bit of a war between gods and demons feel to it.
After taking the book out, Ma Feifei didn't rush to close the box. Instead, she looked at where she had placed the book. According to the information provided to Ma Feifei by the system, after the quality of each book was determined, a brief comment would appear below the book, pointing out some shortcomings of the book and allowing the writer to pay attention to them and make improvements next time, so as to strive to write a higher quality book.
'Ding ding ding~~'
A golden light flashed, followed by a comment.
"Snap!" Ma Feifei closed the evaluation device immediately after reading it in one second.
"What is that?" Ma Feifei's strange behavior caught Yun Qingyang's attention, and she asked in confusion.
"It's nothing, I just used a little too much force when I closed it," Ma Feifei chuckled, explaining awkwardly.
"That's not what you really think, I can sense it." The two share a 'Blood Pact,' meaning they have some degree of Telepathy. Given that they've known each other for a long time, Yun Qingyang can tell at a glance whether Ma Feifei is telling the truth or not.
"Take your hand away." Yun Qingyang patted Ma Feifei's hand and said calmly.
"Ahem, let's not." Ma Feifei looked hesitant, reluctant to let go.
"If you don't let go, I'll smash this box in half with one palm." Yun Qingyang glared fiercely at the evaluation device and said. Clearly, she was very dissatisfied with the evaluation device's rating of the 'painstaking' masterpiece she had written as White Quality.
"But I feel like if I let go, you'll definitely still chop the box up." Ma Feifei sighed, and finally let go.
"Crunch~"
Yun Qingyang opened the box, and the golden characters inside had not yet disappeared. As she looked at the comment, her expression gradually became serious.
"Phew~"
A cool breeze swept by silently, and Ma Feifei felt the temperature in the air drop suddenly, causing her to shiver.
"Click click click~"
Ice began to form all around, and incredibly quickly. In the blink of an eye, the entire backyard was covered in ice, leaving newbie Zhang Caicai completely bewildered, because even his little stool had frozen solid...
"Sigh~~" Ma Feifei sighed again, hiding behind the maple tree without making a sound, quietly waiting for Yun Qingyang to erupt.
There's no way around it. Not only Yun Qingyang, but even Ma Feifei himself couldn't stand it. Damn, the comments were just too venomous.
The comment was very simple, just thirteen characters:
'Novel and interesting, it felt like stepping back into the Enlightenment era.'
