“Thank you.” Chen Qiyue nodded at the old man and walked towards the row he mentioned.
Chen Qiyue reached out and took out a book from the row. On it was written “1,000 Basic Fantastic Beasts”.
It seemed like it was really a basic book.
However, these books could be found in online libraries. It cost money. Now, he could read for free.
Chen Qiyue touched the cover of the book and flipped to the first page. He looked at the printed words inside and took a deep breath.
“Physical books still look more comfortable.”
He quickly read every line and word in the book.
Some of them were Fantastic Beast knowledge that he was familiar with, while others were more unfamiliar and unpopular. However, he still read them hungrily.
He read very quickly. The old man sitting at the side who was reading was distracted by the sound of him flipping through the book.
The old man looked up and saw Chen Qiyue flipping a page in a few seconds. He didn’t look like he was reading seriously.
The old man laughed and shook his head. It seemed that this kid was only going to complete the mission.
However, the old man soon changed his mind.
Chen Qiyue took out a few books and went to the table to read them.
Most importantly, he had brought a notebook and pen. He was even noting down something as he read.
This made the old man curious. This kid read it so quickly and could actually note it down?
Could it be that he had really taken in all that knowledge?
The old man was curious. He put down the book in his hand and walked towards Chen Qiyue.
He looked around and pretended to patrol as he walked towards Chen Qiyue. At the same time, he stretched his neck and looked at the book on the table.
In just a few hours, he had already read several books. His notebook was already filled with highlights.
The old man only took a glance and saw the contents clearly. Many of them were from the books placed at the side, mainly some obscure knowledge.
It seemed that he had noted them down in case he forgot.
In that case, did this kid really read all these books?
The old man looked at Chen Qiyue in shock. He watched him read for a few
seconds before flipping to the next page. He coughed lightly and asked, “You finished reading this page just like that?”
Chen Qiyue was reading seriously when a voice suddenly sounded, startling him.
He looked up and saw the old man standing at the side, craning his head to look at the book in his hand.
“Ah? Oh, I’m done,” Chen Qiyue answered subconsciously.
The old man raised his eyebrows. “Are you really done reading? There seems to be an introduction to the Awakening Worm on the page just now. Tell me about it.”
Chen Qiyue raised his head and looked at the old man in a daze. “Huh?”
“Tell me about it. What are you waiting for? Or are you just reading around because you don’t remember? Then I’ll have to tell your teacher.” The old man snorted.
Hearing the old man’s words, Chen Qiyue immediately reacted and hurriedly replied, “The Awakening Worm is a dark-element Fantastic Beast. What’s worth paying attention to is that this is not a bug-class Fantastic Beast. Although it’s called the Awakening Worm, it doesn’t have a way to evolve into a pupa. It’s an especially unpopular Fantastic Beast.”
“Most importantly, because there’s no way to advance, coupled with the fact that its appearance is not outstanding and it’s rare, people don’t like to choose it as a pet.”
The old man nodded and sized Chen Qiyue up. There was an unconcealed shock in his eyes. “You really memorized it? Alright, continue reading. I won’t disturb you.”
With that, the old man turned around and left. He returned to his original seat and sat down again, but his eyes were still staring at Chen Qiyue.
Chen Qiyue was stunned for a moment, then smiled and continued reading.
The old man crossed his legs and watched Chen Qiyue read. The books around him stacked higher and higher.
As time passed, the clock on the wall pointed to eleven o’clock.
The old man had already packed his books. He looked at Chen Qiyue, who was still reading without eating or sleeping, and coughed lightly.
However, Chen Qiyue was too focused on the book and did not hear him. The old man coughed a few more times. This time, the sound was much louder.
However, Chen Qiyue still did not look up.
“Cough, cough, cough!’
The old man was coughing so much that it was almost pneumonia, but Chen Qiyue still lowered his head.
The old man:
He took a deep breath and walked to Chen Qiyue’s table. He knocked on it and said, “Kid, it’s already 11 pm. If you don’t go back, I have to go to sleep.”
Chen Qiyue suddenly woke up. He looked up and heard the old man’s words. He hurriedly stood up. “Ah, I’m sorry. I was too engrossed in reading. I’m sorry,
I’m sorry.”
The old man was not angry. He had always been very tolerant of such a studious young man.
“Alright, I also know that research-type Feeders like you always work late into the night, but my old bones can’t take it.”
He said happily, “What book do you want to borrow? Hurry up. I haven’t turned off my computer. I’ll close the door after I help you deal with the books you borrow.”
“By the way, let’s make a rule in the future. I’ll keep it open until 9 p.m.. You can borrow all the books you want to read for the night and return them the next day. That way, I won’t have to stay up late with you every day.”
Hearing the old man’s words, Chen Qiyues eyes lit up. “I can borrow them! That’s the best!”
The old man’s lips curled up as he urged, “Hurry up, hurry up. Oh right, remember to help me put these books back. You have to put them back in their original places.”
Chen Qiyue was stunned.. “You want me to help you put them back in their original places?
