Chapter 8

Jiang Ye's expression changed at once, and his thoughts raced further.

Humanity had suddenly disappeared. Without pilots at the controls, the planes flying overhead would probably all crash into the ground.

Danger!

That was his first thought.

That had only been the first plane.

There would surely be a second, a third...

Of course, if he was lucky, fewer planes might crash into the city where he was.

But it was hard to say whether more would follow and crash into the library where he was.

Standing at the library entrance, Jiang Ye's expression shifted uncertainly for a long time.

In the end, he let out a long sigh and walked inside.

He couldn't very well move all the books out of the library. Besides, when it came to plane crashes, there was no truly safe place.

[System, how do I go about learning? You should have a targeted strategy for improvement, right?]

[Mathematics is the foundation for understanding and learning other disciplines. The system recommends that the host begin with mathematics.]

[The system will help the host activate the Super Learning State. In this state, the host's mental capacity will be raised to ten times that of an ordinary person.]

Jiang Ye: [That awesome?]

System: [Note: the duration of this state depends on the strength of the host's mental strength. If it is maintained for too long, the host will faint.]

System: [Let's see how the learning goes first. If that isn't enough, the Ultimate Learning State can also be activated, raising the host's mental capacity to 100 times that of an ordinary person.]

[Note: compared with the Super Learning State, the Ultimate Learning State consumes more mental strength and lasts for a much shorter time, but its efficiency increases geometrically.]

Chapter 8: That Man Might Be Crazy! (Kneeling to Beg for Flowers, Rating Votes, and Monthly Tickets)

When they saw Jiang Ye enter the library, people finally became certain that the library really was his destination.

"I know! Jiang Ye must be looking for survival knowledge."

Someone had a flash of inspiration and said it aloud, and everyone agreed.

It also fit Jiang Ye's motive for going to the library under the circumstances.

"It must be survival books like the ones by Bear Grylls and Master De. He must be looking for those books to improve his chances of survival."

Movies about humanity suddenly disappearing had been made before, and several such works existed.

So, as for humanity suddenly disappearing,

and what would happen when no one was left to keep society running,

people had seen a fairly comprehensive range of the possibilities.

The most important point was that nature would reclaim the cities.

Food would gradually become scarcer, and the search for it would grow more difficult.

Chen Danni spoke up at that moment. "Although his reasoning isn't wrong, he hasn't given enough thought to the practicalities. Looking for survival books isn't the perfect strategy."

"In our expert team's view, once he has confirmed that humanity has suddenly disappeared, the perfect strategy is to waste no time gathering food and building himself a shelter."

Chen Danni's two remarks immediately sparked heated discussion.

"That's right. This yellow monkey got it wrong. He's actually going to the library now? He's killing me."

"I bet he'll lose patience after reading for a little while at most. Loneliness will gradually close in on him and force him to let loose."

"The production team should provide hints in the environment to guide him psychologically."

"Fuck you! Psychological hints? Why don't you just hold Jiang Ye down and make him wreck things?"

"All these people want is for Jiang Ye to do something out of line so they can boost their own sense of racial superiority. Disgusting!"

"Isn't it because our Jiang Ye has performed so well? Look at the other five contestants. They're already starting to show signs of acting recklessly."

Meanwhile, in the domestic livestream and on online platforms,

experts, scholars, and well-known professors voiced their opinions.

"Jiang Ye managed to think of a survival strategy in such a short time. Although it isn't very suitable, it greatly exceeded our expectations."

"If Jiang Ye can settle down and stay in the library, then, judging by the other five contestants' performances, our Jiang Ye won't do too badly."

"That's right. Everyone, hurry and look at the sixth feed. The contestant from Stick Country is heading for a police station. Looks like he's going to stir up trouble."

As people cried out,

viewers around the world began to pay attention to Jin Zheyong from Stick Country.

According to Chen Danni's commentary and the conclusion reached by the team of psychology experts,

he had already confirmed that all humanity had suddenly disappeared and was now heading for the police station.

Stick Country viewers:

"Our Jin Zheyong's strategy is perfect. Once humanity disappears, the animals left unattended in zoos will break out, and he doesn't know whether there are other potential dangers. Finding a gun to protect himself is the best choice."

Dragon Country viewers: "Bullshit. Just watch. Once he finds guns and ammunition, he'll run off to cause destruction first thing."

After Jin Zheyong entered the police station and found guns and ammunition,

he went out onto the street, entered a convenience store, and immediately began stuffing food and supplies into his backpack.

"Sticks! What do you have to say about Jin Zheyong's behavior?"

"What the hell is there to say to the Sticks? Just tear into them."

"Since he's confirmed that humanity has disappeared and he's still packing food, I'm guessing he's going on a long journey."

"Don't tell me he's planning to run back to Stick Country and blow up the chaebol buildings? Hahaha!"

The battle of words in the international livestream continued.
