The course of the History Department passed smoothly, and everyone was pleasantly surprised by the last sentence in the prompt box—— Outstanding Student Scholarship Package.
Most of the people in the C-183 Research Group were top students who had won many scholarships in school, but this was the first time the word ‘scholarship’ had appeared in the library.
Qin Lu couldn’t help but be curious. “The school’s scholarship gives out money directly, what will be the library’s scholarship?”
Yue Xingwen said, “It’s likely to be points. As the common currency of the library, points can be used to buy snacks and clothes, and can also be exchanged for skill books and upgraded skills, which is similar to money in reality.”
If they were rewarded with other items, they wouldn’t be able to take them out of the library, and they wouldn’t necessarily use them in the last faculty, but the points would be the most useful.
Everyone returned to the library with great anticipation, and as the scene in front of them changed, their clothes all changed into short-sleeved and shorts as before they entered the examination room, and those ancient costumes just now were like a dream.
After Ke Shaobin saw Yue Xingwen, he immediately came over and complained, “I haven’t seen you for more than a month in the History Department, I’m dying of anxiety!”
Due to this grouping action, Ke Shaobin had been in the Imperial Kitchen, and really hadn’ met with the students in Yue Xingwen’s group. Yue Xingwen patted him on the shoulder and teased, “Aren’t you living quite comfortably? I heard that you’ve unlocked a lot of delicacies in the Imperial Kitchen?”
Ke Shaobin smiled, “This is considered an additional gain. I also learned how to cook palace dishes from the master in the Imperial Kitchen, and when I go back, I will show you my handcraft!”
Yue Xingwen returned the topic back, “Let’s take a look at the scholarship first.”
He clicked on the ‘Receive Scholarship’ button in the prompt box, and a familiar mechanical voice popped up in everyone’s ears: “Congratulations to the C-183 Research Group for taking the lead in completing 90 credits and winning 30,000 points for the team scholarship, which can be assigned by the team leader as needed.”
Sure enough, it was points.
Jiang Pingce said, “30,000 points, each person can get 2,500 points, which is higher than the reward for passing three courses. The library was pretty conscientious about giving us scholarships this time.”
Everyone’s faces were full of joy, and Zhuo Feng smiled. “If I add 2,500 points, I can directly upgrade my mechanic’s skills straight to full level, and I’ll also be able to change ‘Spring’.”

Jiang Pingce nodded. “En. Except for me and Xin Yan because we took more elective courses at the beginning, and our credits exceeded 95, everyone’s else’s credits are 93, and we are still 97 credits short of graduation. Xingwen and I speculated that the last faculty, most likely, would be a 7-credit course with high difficulty.”
Ke Shaobin looked around, scratched his head suspiciously, and said, “Medicine, Mathematics, Architecture, Physics, Chemistry, Biological Science, Environment, Humanities and History… other Foreign Languages, Translation, Business, Economic, also appeared in the selection. But so far, I don’t think I’ve seen Computer Science yet, ah?”
Yue Xingwen said with a smile, “Yes, computer-related majors didn’t appear in the Faculty of Engineering at the beginning, and the library most likely put the majors of Artificial INtelligence, Software Engineering, and Computer Science, which were grouped in a separated Faculty of Computer, at the end of the list.”
Ke Shaobin’s eyes lit up. “So, in the next final level, we’re likely to encounter the Faculty of Computer and have to PK with artificial intelligence?”
All the way to the present, they had seen most majors, and there was no reason to remove ‘Computer’, which had a large number of students. Moreover, this strange library itself was like a high-tech intelligent system, and it was also common sense to put artificial intelligence-related majors last.
However, when mentioning artificial intelligence, everyone couldn’t help but associate it with Xiao Tu, who had accompanied them all the way to this point, and Yue Xingwen took a step forward, gently stroke Xiao Tu’s head, and said, “If the last level is really the Faculty of Computer, will Xiao Tu be a friend, or an enemy?”
Hearing this, Ke Shaobin’s face suddenly lost its blood color.
When he first received Xiao Tu, it was only the size of a palm, like a child’s toy, spinning and singing ‘Two Tigers’ and later, as it leveled up, it became more and more skilled and bigger. Now it stood beside him that it was level with his own shoulders.
Xiao Tu was like a child who was personally grown by Ke Shaobin.
But if the final hurdle was artificial intelligence, there was a real possibility that Xiao Tu could be affected, for example, if the system was controlled by a higher intelligence, or if it was invaded by a virus and started attacking them indiscriminately…
Ke Shaobin took a deep breath and said seriously, “I understand your concerns. After all, Xiao Tu is an artificial intelligence, and although it has always been under my command, once its system is compromised or dominated by a higher level of intelligence, it’s likely to become the most dangerous variable.”
He looked at his teammates sincerely and said, “I promise you that I will keep a close eye on Xiao Tu, and I won’t activate it for the last level unless it’s necessary.”
Yue Xingwen was relieved when he heard this. Although Ke Shaobin loved Xiao Tu and had always raised him as a pet, at the critical moment, he surely could distinguish between the pros and cons. It was not easy for them to get here, and in the last hurdle, there was absolutely no room for error.
Jiang Pingce said in a low voice, “During this time, we have accumulated a lot of points, plus the 2,500 given by the scholarship, which is enough to upgrade a brand new skill book to the full level. Ke Shaobin, after you get the points, go and exchange some skills that are not artificial intelligence-type, it’s safer that way.”
Ke Shaobin nodded. “En, I know!”
Yue Xingwen smiled and said, “Come, everyone line up to me to receive their scholarships.”
Everyone quickly lined up, and Yue Xingwen began to send out points one by one, and each person got 2,500 from the 30,000 points scholarship, plus the previous points saved from the three courses in the Faculty of Physics, Faculty of Humanities, now, each of them had more than 4,000 points in their hands.
Before the final level arrived, they could upgrade their skills one more time to strengthen their team.
If the last level was really 7 credits, the difficulty would definitely not be lower than the <Depth of the Starry Sky> of the Faculty of Physics. They had managed to get to the last level, and if they failed at this time, would it not be ‘back to the pre-liberation period’, and had to start all over again?
Therefore, before everyone upgraded their skills this time, they had a collective meeting to pick skills from a team perspective.
Zhuo Feng first raised his mechanics to the full level, not only could he control friction and make the ground as smooth as ice, but he could also eliminate and increase the strength and reaction force between any object.
For example, after amplifying the effect of ‘Force’, he could even smash a wall into pieces with a single punch. Similarly, when a boulder was pressed on the body, as long as he mitigated the force, it was the same as a feather pressed on the body, so that the pain was not felt at all.
Teammates had praised the magic of Physics’ ‘Mechanics’, Mechanics contained too much content, gravity, elasticity, friction, etc. Zhuo Feng used all the points to directly upgrade the book ‘Mechanics’ to the full level, which was undoubtedly the wisest choice.
In addition, the skill ‘Spring’ attached to the ‘Elasticity’ was also one of the tools that were very widely used in Physics, and the Spring exchanged by Zhuo Feng could eject people horizontally or vertically, just like the launching mechanism. Although not as flexible as Jiang Pingce’s Coordinate System, in critical moments it could be life-saving.
Lan Yarong already had the <Criminal Law>, <Marriage Law>, and <Economic Law> in her hands, and this time she redeemed the <Labor Law> and unlocked the skill ‘Working Hours’ —— The workers may not work more than eight hours a day, and once they do so, they are automatically ‘rested’ and immune to any attack.
In other words, if they encounter a situation like the Faculty of Physics where they were besieged by a swarm of worms, once they were besieged for eight hours straight, Lan Yarong could use her Labor Law skill to force her teammates to rest.
In addition, Lan Yarong also redeemed the <Constitution>, unlocking a very useful skill, ‘The Personal Freedom of Citizens is Inviolable’. After using this skill, it was forbidden to unlawfully detain or restrict the personal freedom of citizens in any form.
This was actually similar to Yue Xingwen’s ‘Golden Cicada Shell’, when teammates were trapped, or locked in some confined spaces, and lost their freedom, Lan Yarong could forcibly rescue her teammates.
However, Yue Xingwen’s ‘Golden Cicada Shell’ was a team teleportation that ignored the terrain, and it could only be used once every 24 hours, which was suitable for the team to get out of the trap. Lan Yarong’s <Personal Freedom> skill could be used every 1 hour, but only one teammate could be rescued at a time.
The two skills complement each other and would be more flexible to use.
Qin Miao also exchanged for a new skill, and she had just unlocked quite a few Tang Dynasty skill books after clearing <Dreaming Back to the Great Tang Dynasty>.
The first was the ‘Weishui Alliance’, which told the story that shortly after Tang Emperor, Li Shimin launched the Xuanwu Gate Incident, the Tujue suddenly led their troops to attack near Chang’an, and Li Shimin personally talked to the Khan and established an alliance.
After using the skill, she could send a representative to establish an alliance with the enemy leader, and the battle would be stopped for 3 hours.
The second skill was ‘Give Someone a Taste of His Own Medicine’, which was about a story during the period of Wu Zetian. Lai Junchen and Zhou Xing were both ruthless officials, Lai Junchen knew that his tricks did not work for Zhou Xing, so he invited Zhou Xing to drink, let Zhou Xing thought of a way to rectify the prisoners, and then used the same method to rectify Zhou Xing, which could be described as ‘treating others the way they treat you’.
After using the skill, she could return all the opponent’s attacks to the opponent for a period of time, which was a very strong range counterattack skill.
Although Qin Miao’s historical allusions skills’ cooldown time was very long, the lethality and control were very strong, and the range of action was also the widest.
Qin Lu didn’t change the skills linked to the globe this time, she found that the limitations of the Globe were too great. Once she couldn’t summon it, her skills couldn’t be used, such as in the course of <Dreaming Back to the Great Tang Dynasty>, she didn’t release a skill from beginning to end.
So, she kept an eye on it this time, and changed it to skills related to human geography.
Urban Planning, which allowed for a simple sandbox plan of a designated area, drawing three parts of the area: Streets, Residential Areas, and Green Belts, and forcing designated targets to move into the Residential Areas.
Although this skill was not as detailed as when they did <Urban Planning>, the skill ‘Residential Area’ was actually very useful. If there were mobs chasing them, Qin Lu could draw a ‘Residential Area’ on the spot, locking all the mobs there, and concentrating on destroying them.
thanks for the chapter!!
New skills!!!
Thank you for your translation 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
gosh these skills are crazy. I hope to see Qin Miao’s skills get used in an all out battle
