Ke Shaobin once had a beautiful dream where delicious braised pork was piled up into a small mountain in front of him. He wouldn’t be able to finish it even if he ate it for a year, and he never thought that such a dream would come true.
Unfortunately, with a change of scene, the dream turned directly into a nightmare!
He couldn’t figure out how the dungeon of ‘Intelligent Invasion’, which was supposed to be high profile, actually made him wrestle with a pot of braised pork for a long time—— It wasn’t an ordinary cauldron, it was a super cauldron that could feed thousands of students in the Student Canteen, the size of a basketball court.
In this pot, let alone eating meat, he would be stewed into meat.
Ke Shaobin struggled to climb out of the sea of meat, and then he took a breath and quickly opened the LAN.
It was definitely the most embarrassing moment of his life. He was covered in braised meat gravy, and he carried the smell of meat everywhere he went, and he simply couldn’t imagine the expressions of his classmates when they saw him…
Yue Xingwen comforted: “It’s good that you’re not hurt. Xiao Nian, hurry up and bring Young Ke out.”
Zhang Xiaonian: “Roger. What canteen is senior brother Ke in?”
Ke Shaobin replied: “The back kitchen area of the canteen no. 2.”
Zhang Xiaonian: “I’ll come over right away.”
At this time, in the Shopping Plaza on the -5th floor, Xin Yan walked around the corner of the perfume shop and saw a men’s clothing store.
The library’s Shopping Plaza had a lot of shops, almost comparable to the large shopping malls in the first-tier cities. As long as they were willing to spend points, they could buy all kinds of perfumes, clothes, bags, and shoes here.
Of course, most students would choose to keep their points to redeem their skills and improve themselves. After all, no matter how beautiful their clothes here, no one appreciated it, it was not convenient to escape with high heels and the like, and wearing perfume was even more troublesome for their teammates, so usually, students went to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities and snacks, and the clothing area was rarely patronized.
Xin Yan frowned, walked into the clothing store, looking at the sizes and grabbing a set of clothes at random.
Usually, they needed to exchange points for shopping goods, but now, the library treated them as viruses and wanted to get rid of them, so he certainly wasn’t going to follow the rules and spend points to buy them, and just take them away.
When he went out, he almost bumped into someone head-on—— it was Jiang Pingce who was passing by in a hurry.
Jiang Pingce glanced at the clothes and shoes in his hand, and said in understanding, “For Ke Shaobin, right? He was buried by braised pork, and his clothes can’t be worn anymore.”
Xin Yan nodded and said lightly, “Passing by, took it casually.”
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Jiang Pingce glanced at him and said as he walked, “You are actually quite attentive, just have a sharp-tongue.”

As soon as the words fell, they saw the doors of all the clothing stores around them open at the same time, and a dense mass of clothes, pants, socks, and even underwear swept towards them!
Zhuo Feng’s face darkened, “Fuck, is this library here to be funny?”
Jiang Pingce said coldly, “As the highest intelligence, it can detect our location at any time and attack us using all attackable means around us.”
After saying that, Jiang Pingce raised his right hand, and the skill book <Nine Chapters of Arithmetic> appeared in his palm.
In an instant, all the clothes and pants around them, as if they were affected by magic, were neatly gathered together as a group of 100 pieces, suspended in the air and waiting to be distributed.
Zhuo Feng, Xu Yishen and Xin Yan were all seeing Jiang Pingce use the skill from the <Nine Chapters of Arithmetic> for the first time. A huge scene, which hadn’t even appeared in the movie’s special effects, made the three of them stare in amazement.
Xu Yishen was stunned for two seconds before coming back to his senses, gave a thumbs up and said, “Awesome ah! That distribution skill of yours is too useful when you encounter a large number of things besieging you!”
Zhuo Feng followed and said, “Gravity, fall!”
The suspended clothes and pants fell to the ground in unison, making way for them.
Xin Yan took a pair of size 39 men’s sneakers. Needless to say, they must have been for Ke Shaobin. The four of them walked towards the elevator room, but soon, they realized that something was wrong——
Xu Yishen looked at the elevator in front of him with the buttons not lit, and shrugged helplessly, “It seems that the elevator is not working.”
Zhuo Feng frowned and said, “It must be the library that judged us to be an invading virus and directly stopped the elevator system, trying to wipe us out on all floors.”
Xin Yan said, “We can only take the stairs. The library has a stair passage.”
Zhuo Feng looked back at him. “Do you know where it is?”
Xin Yan shook his head. “I’ve never seen it. Last night, I was worried that something would happen to the library during the last course, so I went around all the dormitories and there were no stairs on any of the corners.”
Xu Yishen said, “I also like to wander around the library on weekends when I’m free, and I’ve never seen a staircase before. There are no stairs at all, right?”
Jiang Pingce lowered his head and thought for a moment before he said, “Each floor of this library seems to exist independently, just like countless servers. The entire library building is the terminal that connects all the servers together, and the elevator is the entrance to connect different servers.”
Zhuo Feng suddenly realized, “I see, if you understand the entire library as a game, each floor and each dormitory area is a different server, and the elevator is the login channel. The elevator can detect the player’s data and send the player to different floors. And there are a lot of elevators in the library, and the number can be increased at any time during peak hours?”
Xin Yan nodded and said, “When our Research Group 183 walks into the elevator, the elevator detects our credit data and opens the corresponding floor to us. If the elevator is used as the entrance to the server, the explanation is very reasonable, and players who do not meet the requirements are not allowed to log in.”
Xu Yishen’s eyes lit up. “Ke Shaobin often mentioned before that this library is very similar to a multiplayer online game, so it really makes sense ah!”
Jiang Pingce said calmly, “Now, the elevator passage is closed by the library. There is only one way for us to join the other teammates, which is to forcibly open this passage.” He looked at Zhuo Feng and asked, “Senior brother, can you use gravity precisely?”
Zhuo Feng nodded. “Of course, my gravity has been upgraded to the full level.” He paused and suddenly understood what Jiang Pingce meant. “You mean, use gravity to force the elevator down?”
Jiang Pingce said, “Our current location is a Shopping Plaza on the -5th floor, and if you use gravity to force the elevator down, then we can go to the -6th floor and meet up with Xingwen and senior brother Liu first. Then, I used my coordinate system movement skill to make the elevator rise vertically, stop on different floors, and join up with the rest of our teammates.”
Zhuo Feng smiled. “Good idea! The operation of the elevator originally relied on traction ropes, motors and drive wheels, and the essence of the principle is the pulley in physics. The library is cutting the power right now to keep the elevator from running, but we can manually get the elevator to the appropriate floor.”
Xu Yishen said, “But how can we open the elevator?”
Xin Yan said lightly, “Leave this to me. The elevator is usually made of stainless steel, which is resistant to chemical corrosion such as acid, alkali and salt, and is also resistant to ordinary high temperatures. But it always has a melting point, and it can be melted above 1500 degrees.”
Jiang Pingce asked, “Can you create a high temperature of more than 1,000 degrees?”
Xin Yan nodded. “I upgraded the spirit lamp to full level, and the flame temperature can be controlled on its own.”
Xu Yishen lamented. “The magicians of the Faculty of Chemistry are really terrifying. Be careful when you use the high temperature flame, if it touches our skin, we will melt into ashes in an instant.”
Xin Yan said, “It’s more dangerous, so I usually don’t dare to use this skill too much.”
Jiang Pingce said in a low voice, “Everyone stand back and leave enough space for Xin Yan.”
Zhuo Feng and Xu Yishen immediately followed Jiang Pingce and retreated. The three of them retreated more than 20 meters away, and Xin Yan stretched out his right hand—— They saw a cluster of blue flames suddenly appear in his palm, and the flames rushed towards the elevator door like a fierce beast! The metal door, which was originally closed tightly, actually deformed rapidly after coming into contact with the flames until it melted!
This magical scene made the three onlookers feel complicated.
No wonder the library asked them to sign a <Non-Disclosure Agreement>, these skills were terrible.
In less than half a minute, the elevator door was melted into a puddle of liquid by Xin Yan, and everyone took a step forward, looked inward and found that the elevator car was not on this floor, but stayed at a high place.
Zhuo Feng decisively stretched out his right hand and used gravity to lower the car to the level they were in.
Xin Yan and the three of them walked into the car, turned around and said, “Senior brother Zhuo, please let the car descend to the -6th floor, and I will melt the elevator door on the -6th floor.”
Zhuo Feng let the car continue to descend and after a while, the elevator stopped on the -6th floor. Xin Yan melted the door, Jiang Pingce met Yue Xingwen’s surprised gaze and said with concern, “Are you alright?”
“I’m alright. You guys…” Yue Xingwen glanced at the disappeared flame in Xin Yan’s hand, and suddenly realized. “Artificially control the elevator lift?”
“En.” Jiang Pingce nodded, motioned with his eyes to Yue Xingwen to walk into the car, and then typed on the LAN: “Everyone wait near the elevator, we’ll come and get guys.”
Jiang Pingce continued to control the car to rise and came to the Student Canteen on the -4th floor.
Xin Yan melted the elevator door again, and sure enough, he saw Zhang Xiaonian and Ke Shaobin, who was soaking wet, waiting for them at the door. As the elevator door opened, a strong smell of braised pork came to their faces—— This, of course, came from Ke Shaobin.
They saw that Ke Shaobin’s glasses were stained with dark brown gravy, and there were a lot of uncleaned pieces of meat on his clothes, which were simply ‘walking braised pork’, looking very embarrassing.
Everyone: “……”
Xin Yan walked out of the car and said expressionlessly, “Come with me.”
Ke Shaobin was puzzled, “What for?”
Xin Yan picked up the clothes in his hand and showed them to him, and Ke Shaobin immediately said gratefully, “Great! I’m worried that wearing this will kill you all to death!” He quickly followed Xin Yan to the corner. Xin Yan put his clothes beside him, took out a bottle of distilled water and handed it to him by the way, and turned his back, “Hurry up and change.”
Ke Shaobin took off his gravy-stained clothes as quickly as he could, poured water on top of his head, washed away the dirt on his body and changed into new clothes and shoes all over again, while muttering, “It fits, how do you know the size of my clothes and shoes?”
Xin Yan said lightly, “Take the smallest size.”
Ke Shaobin: “……”
Was this discriminating against his height?
ahhh those 2 are so cute together! thank you for translating!!
Yupp, they are really cute 🤭
That scene from “Love in the air” vibe
Thank you for your translation 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
I love this chapter, especially getting to see Xin Yan so active and talkative. AND he really went out of his way to get Ke Shaobin clothes and shoes. Knowing his clothes’ sizes makes sense if he went for the smallest ones but he also seemed to know Ke Shaobin’s shoe size lmao!
Also on that note for a guy who has a large love for food and is always trying to find a way to eat I can’t believe he’s one of the smaller ones there. Jealous
😭😭
