Where would the exit of the library with 6 basement floors and 13 floors above ground be?
The possibility of an exit in the exam room had been ruled out by everyone through analysis and practice, because, once there was an exit in the exam room, in case of someone found this secret door during the exam from tens of thousands of students, it would result in the bug of not having enough 100 credits but leaving the library.
Ke Shaobin opened his laptop and wrote a floor map for everyone to observe.
The basement of the library was full of functional areas—— Gymnasium, Shopping Plaza, Canteen, Dormitory, Research Group Center, and Database.
In the dormitory area, in order to find their teammates, they teleported back and forth more than a dozen times, found out the petal-shaped distribution of dormitories, and according to the data monitored by Xiao Tu, they found the (0, 0, -3) coordinates located in a hidden location, it was the central patio that ran through the entire library building.
The various floors could be reached via this central patio.
There was no exit in the exam room, so would there be an escape route at the junction between the exam rooms? This was something that no one had noticed.
Yue Xingwen looked at Ke Shaobin’s model diagram in the laptop and said, “Let’s do it this way, let’s start from the 12th floor and go through all the floors again.”
Liu Zhaoqing said with a headache, “Just now when we walked into the 1st floor of the Faculty of Medicine, we were directly teleported in the exam room area, and the exam did not start, and those NPCs were all in standby mode. Now that the whole library is in exam time, won’t we have to go through every exam if we walk through every floor?”
Senior brother Liu’s concerns were also reasonable.
It was exam time in the library now, and when they entered the Faculty of Architecture just now, they directly opened the ‘City Collapse’ exam room. If they went through every floor, they would be trapped in each exam room for a while, and when they encountered a reasoning class, they might have to stay in the exam room for ten days to a half month…
At this rate, it would take a year to get out of the library!
Zhuo Feng asked, “Is there a way to walk through the various floors and avoid the exam room at the same time?”
Everyone lowered their heads and thought carefully, and suddenly, Jiang Pingce said, “We can use Qin Lu’s Plate Movement skill to accurately set the coordinates and directly teleport us into the gaps between the exam rooms.”
He pointed to the 3D graphics on Ke Shaobin’s laptop.
The central patio was fixed in size, a 10×10 m square with a circular staircase that ran from the dormitory on the -3rd floor to the Faculty of Computer Science on the 13th floor.
There was a door in each of the four directions of the staircase, and from the experience of the Faculty of Medicine, these four doors corresponded to the four exam centers, and no matter which door they walked into, after circling around, they would for a ‘回’ shaped pathway and walked back to the original point.

“I calculated the coordinates when I entered the laser corridor of the Faculty of Computer Science just now, and the length is the same as the first corridor of the Faculty of Medicine.” Ke Shaobin paused and said, “The area in the back, because Xiao Tu was out of control, there was no way to measure the coordinates, and I’m not sure about the specific data.”
Jiang Pingce said, “When we entered the Faculty of Medicine, the library was in its standby state, and the exam hadn’t started yet, so the Faculty of Medicine was the most realistic library state, and the data was also the most accurate. Xiao Nian has measurements for the length of the four corridors, right?”
Zhang Xiaonian nodded immediately and said, “All four corridors are 50 meters long.”
Ke Shaobin adjusted the data in the laptop, and the 3D mode of the entire library was quickly displayed in front of everyone. Upon closer inspection, the building actually consisted of a hollow patio in the center and ‘回’ corridors around it, with each floor covering an area of 2,500 square meters.
The four doors, located right in the middle of the four corridors.
If they pushed the door straight in, they would be forcibly pulled into the exam room.
If all floors followed this rule, then everyone could follow Jiang Pingce’s way to directly and accurately move and skip the exam room area in the corridor!
Yue Xingwen said, “Let’s look from top to bottom, let’s go to the 12th floor first.”
Qin Lu said, “The number of times my Plate Movement skill has been used up, I’ll use the globe to reset it.” She took out the globe and used the ‘Rotation’ skill to make the globe rotate, day and night alternated, and the ultimate move of ‘24 hours cooldown’ in everyone’s hands was refreshed.
Qin Lu’s ‘Plate Movement’ number of uses also recovered to 12 times, and everyone set off again.
Everyone went down the stairs to the 12th floor, and sure enough, they found four doors. Jiang Pingce looked at Qin Lu. “Let’s mark the direction according to the up – North, down – South, left – West, right – East, and first move 25 meters due west.”
The door was in the middle of the corridor, which was 50 meters long and teleporting 25 meters to the west would bring them to the far end of the west corridor, where they could skip the exam without incident.
Qin Lu took out the globe and entered the data——
Everyone’s eyes suddenly flickered, and they collectively appeared at the corner of the junction of the two corridors.
Yue Xingwen turned around and saw that the words ‘Faculty of Humanities’ were written behind them, while ‘Faculty of Film’ was in front of them. They arrived at an open space at the junction of the two faculties.
Everyone hurriedly searched for the secret door where the corridors joined, but they did not find anything.
Jiang Pingce said, “Next, 50 meters to the north.”
Qin Lu operated the globe, and with a flicker before their eyes, they came back to the corner of the corridor, on one side was the ‘Faculty of Film’, and on the other side was the ‘Faculty of Sports’. At this time, the corridor, where the two faculties were located was conducting an exam, and since they skipped the exam, they weren’t pulled into the dungeon.
After teleporting 50 meters due east again, everyone came to an open space, which was the junction of the ‘Faculty of Sports’ and the elective exam room.
Yue Xingwen said, “It seems that the 12th floor has the Faculty of Humanities in the west corridor, the Faculty of Film in the north corridor, the Faculty of Sports in the east corridor, and the elective exam room in the south.”
Jiang Pingce said thoughtfully, “In the structure of the library, each corridor is 50 meters in length, and after the exam begins, we will be transported to another space… These corridors are equivalent to a teleportation point.”
Yue Xingwen guessed. “From this point of view, the four corridors on the 11th floor are likely to be structures such as the Faculty of Physics, elective courses, Faculty of Engineering, and elective courses.”
Xin Yan said, “The 10th floor is the three corridors of the Faculty of Chemistry, Faculty of Business, and Faculty of Foreign Languages, plus an elective corridor?”
In order to verify everyone’s guess, after they left the 12th floor, they went to the 11th and 10th floors in the same way, and Qin Lu’s 12 times of ‘Plate Movement’ was used up just to go through these three floors.
It turned out as they expected——
On each floor, there were four corridors forming a complete closed loop.
Some floors had more faculties, so one faculty occupied a corridor, and the extra one was used as an exam room for elective courses; In some cases, there were fewer faculties, and there would be a situation where a single faculty occupied 4 corridors, or two faculties shared half of the corridor.
No matter how it changed, the architectural structure inside the library had always remained the same, it was what Jiang Pingce called the ‘regular cube building’, and there were no strange shaped floors.
Qin Lu’s Plate Movement had been used up, and there were still 2nd to 9th floors left to verify on the spot, but Jiang Pingce said, “For other floors, I don’t think there’s any need to verify anymore.”
Everyone also felt that, as they went on like this, layer by layer, and ended up with nothing, it was likely that their method was wrong from the beginning.
The exit of the library was not inside the exam room for any courses.
Nor was it at the junction of the exam rooms on any floors.
Where would it be? In the whole building, was there still a hidden area that they hadn’t discovered?
At this moment, Yue Xingwen’s eyes suddenly lit up and said, “Do you remember how you entered the library?”
Jiang Pingce said, “I went back to the library at night to check the literature, and after I walked through the door, I was pulled into the Database.”
Zhuo Feng followed closely and said, “I came with Manluo, and I also went back to the library to borrow books after half past nine in the evening, and when I entered the door, I found that something was wrong and the moment I entered the door, the two of us were separated.”
Yue Xingwe then asked, “Before you entered the library, did you walk down a flight of steps? Not quite the same as the usual library steps? It seemed to me at the time that the steps were a few levels higher, but I didn’t count them carefully and thought it was an illusion.”
Hearing this, Liu Zhaoqing suddenly slapped his head. “Right! The steps were really weird, and I didn’t feel quite right at that time, because I usually only need four or five steps to walk up, but that day I took an extra step. But I was in such a hurry to get back the glass of water I’d left behind that I didn’t think twice about it.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Pingce finally understood what Yue Xingwen meant. “You mean, there are still mezzanines in the library that we haven’t been to?!”
Yue Xingwen nodded. “If we want to get out, we have to think backwards on how we got in at that time. The entrance is the only exit. And all of us, after entering the library, the first place we arrived…”
“It’s the Library Database!” Ke Shaobin actively answered, “A closed space with a particularly high ceiling, filled with specialized books. The system allows us to take an entrance exam, and after passing it, we choose skill books from the book library. Then, everyone will take the elevator to the Faculty of Medicine on the 1st floor to take the exam.”
Zhang Xiaonian said, “The floor height of the Library Database, which I visually estimate to be around 5 meters, is just like a common loft apartment, surrounded by wooden bookshelves to the top.”
The more everyone talked about it, the more they felt that there was a great possibility of a hidden mezzanine in this place!
The ceiling height was 5 meters, the hall was wide, and the bright crystal lamps hung down—— When they first came to the library, was it really just a bunch of books sitting there?
Jiang Pingce looked at Yue Xingwen with relief and said, “I understand. The exit of the library is not on any of the floors labeled by the elevator, but on the mezzanine floor hidden between the 1st and -1st floor—— the zero floor.”
Yue Xingwen nodded with a smile and said, “Yes, that is, the origin of the 3D coordinate system (0, 0, 0).”
How you get it, is how you get out.
It wasn’t until Yue Xingwen mentioned the experience of being pulled into the library in the first place that they finally figured it out!
I’m not sure how stairs and the first room in the library game is linked, but I’m waiting for solution
