The appearance of dinosaurs and Qin Miao’s words made everyone realize again the horror of ‘book spirit’. As long as they came out of the book, they might become book spirits.
From dinosaurs in ancient times to bacteria and insects in biology…
Book spirits were not all human, so they must not only read a lot and know the characters in famous novels, but also had a good knowledge of various subjects to recognize these animals and plants accurately.
This was not something that the ordinary team could handle!
Liu Zhaoqing couldn’t help but complain, “Does the library have to make us fail the course once before they’re satisfied?”
Jiang Pingce whispered, “There’s no need to be so pessimistic. In the process of setting up the bookshelves, I used the classification method to count the number of book spirits in the whole room—— 3,000 in total. The 12 of us averaged 250 each, excluding the delayed time, it’s counted as 50 minutes to process 250 book spirits, which is 5 in 1 minute.”
Yue Xingwen analyzed and said, “But as long as you find the corresponding books, you can collect book spirits in batches. For example, just now, it took us less than 10 minutes to collect more than 400 book spirits in the famous book section, and the efficiency of 1:40 is much higher than the limit time of 1:5.”
Jiang Pingce nodded in agreement. “These book spirits are not entities, but phantoms floating in the air, so they will not affect the bookshelves. The books on the shelves have been rearranged and we only need to find the corresponding books as quickly as possible, which is equivalent to a ‘look at the map and find the book’ exam.”
Ke Shaobin also became serious upon hearing this and said, “There are books in various subjects here, so as long as everyone divides up the work and looks for books in the field they specialize in , there’s a great hope that we’ll be able to pass!”
Liu Zhaoqing said thoughtfully, “That’s true! I don’t read many novels, and I don’t recognize many of the book spirits here, but if it’s medical, I’m sure I’ll be able to find the corresponding books!”
Yue Xingwen’s gaze swept over his teammates, and he quickly began grouping them. “The remaining book spirits in the western corridor will be handed over to me and Pingce to deal with. The north corridor is filled with books related to biology, geography, medicine, and architecture, and it will be taken care of by senior brother Xu, Qin Lu, senior brother Liu, and Zhang Xiaonian; The south corridor is related to history, law, environment, and philosophy, senior sister Lan, Qin Miao and senior sister Manluo will go together. Senior brother Zhuo, Xin Yan, and Ke Shaobin can go to the eastern area of science, engineering, and chemistry. Everyone can figure out how to control the book spirits and then find the books.”
When he first entered the Library Database, Yue Xingwen paid attention to the arrangement of the books within the Library Database and had noted down the approximate divisions labeled by the bookshelves in the corridor.
Just now, he and Jiang Pingce flew around the corridor from the air, and found that those book spirits would stop when they chased them to the corners of the corridor, as if they couldn’t ‘cross the line’. Dinosaurs were also found around the corner of the corridor to the west and north.
Thinking of this, Yue Xingwen continued, “The book spirit should exist in zones, the books and book spirits in the biology and medical zones will only wander in the corridors over there, so everyone will definitely find the corresponding book if you look carefully in the area you are responsible for!”
Hearing Yue Xingwen’s words, the students quickly regained their confidence.
They usually went to the library, and although the books in the library room in front of them were arranged in a very confusing way, the task of ‘finding books’ was not particularly difficult for them.
The difficulty was actually ‘looking at the picture to find the book’.
The first thing to think of was the book from which the book spirits in front of them came from. If they came across something they hadn’t seen before, that would be the problem, and they couldn’t just flip through thousands of books one by one, right?
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.
Therefore, this final graduation exam was actually a test of their ‘knowledge’.

A moment later, Qin Lu found a thick <Jurassic Dinosaur Illustrated Book> from the bookshelf, and she quickly turned the pages, only to see those behemoths instantly turned into bright lights and were included in the album.

Liu Zhaoqing looked at the human bones and organs floating around in front of him, and couldn’t help laughing. “This is a direct way to dismantle <Human Anatomy> for me and turn it into a book spirit?”
Xu Yishen said helplessly, “Senior brother, hurry up and collect those hearts, livers, intestines and the like! It’s disgusting to look… and bones are flying everywhere!”
Liu Zhaoqing quickly rushed to the bookshelf, picked up a <Human Anatomy Map>, flipped to the chapter on the digestive system, and quickly took away the corresponding organs.
Zhang Xiaonian looked at the large building that appeared in front of him and whispered, “There’s also a construction-type book spirit?” He clenched his fists nervously and pondered for a moment. “These things always look familiar… that’s right! I remember, this is an example of a villa from <Analyzing the Works of Master Architects>!”
Zhang Xiaonian trotted all the way to the architecture-related bookshelves to find the corresponding book.
The next moment, he heard Xu Yishen say, “This thing is all over the ground… Is it a paramecium?!”
Paramecium was a single-celled animal and could not be seen with the naked eye. But at this moment, the volume of these paramecium that slipped out of the book was magnified several times, and Xu Yishen had analyzed them as paramecium according to their morphology and structure.
He quickly used ‘mitosis’ and split into five clones, went to five rows of bookshelves to look for books at the same time, and soon found a book specializing in paramecium, and took away these crawling bugs.
A large number of plants appeared in front of him, and the vines were flying around in the air. Those teeth and claws of the vines instantly rolled around Zhang Xiaonian’s waist and straightly threw him out. The next moment, Zhang Xioanian only felt that his body was lighter, and a magical force supported him as he landed on the ground steadily.
Zhang Xiaonian looked up to see that it was senior brother Xu Yishen holding him up with a DNA helix. He breathed a sigh of relief, and while continuing to flip through the books on the shelf, he said, “Thank you senior brother, I’m going to find the books!”
Xu Yishen said, “En. You guys be careful of these plants, the vines have a wide range of attacks, so avoid them! This piece should be a mallow vine, and in front of it there are white vines, creepers, lingxiao, and so on. I’ll see if I can find a book that specializes in vines.”
While he asked the three clones from the ‘mitosis’ to find the book, and the other two clones used the ‘DNA Helix’ skill, the double helix chain quickly tied up the vines flying around, helping Qin Lu and Zhang Xiaonian clear the obstacles.
After a moment, Qin Lu’s excited voice came from behind the bookshelf, “<Ice Age: The Complete Reveal of Prehistoric Animals>, I found it! This book has profiles of animals like cave lions, sawtooth tigers, and cave bears!”
She quickly opened the book and flipped the table of contents to the corresponding page—— The behemoths around them, indeed, turned into beams of soft light and flew back into the book.
After taking these ancient animals, the space in the north corridor immediately became much more spacious.
At the same time, Xu Yishen also found the <Complete Guide to Vine Plants>, and collected all the vines, creepers and other vines according to the corresponding catalog, and then dealt with those colorful flowers.
Some of the flowers were also highly poisonous, and the library had indeed gone too far, actually allowing the poisonous flowers to transform into book spirits to attack them!
The east corridor was the world of science and engineering.
Magnets, glass instruments, and computer code flying everywhere, the scene was completely different from the corridor next to it where flora and fauna gather nearby. These tools were very easy to deal with, Xin Yan took a book of <Encyclopedia of Chemical Instruments’, and removed all the corresponding chemical experimental instruments.
Zhuo Feng found the corresponding specialized book and put away all the physics tools. Ke Shaobin took away a bunch of codes from computer programming textbooks.
The difficulty was that there were still a lot of humans wandering around in the east corridor.
Zhuo Feng looked at a book spirit in front of him and said thoughtfully, “This person looks like Einstein! The one holding the light bulb next to him should be Edison.”
Xin Yan said lightly, “The one in front is Antoine Lavoisier, who named oxygen and hydrogen and made a significant contribution to the development of chemistry.”
Ke Shaobin was curious and asked, “How did you recognize it?”
Xin Yan said, “There are photos of him in the textbooks of the Chemistry Department.”
Ke Shaobin couldn’t help but give a thumbs up. “You have such a good memory, you can even remember this kind of photo!”
The three of them discussed while looking for a book.
Although the attack ability of the book spirit in this area was also very strong, Zhuo Feng had the ‘Mechanics’ skill in hand, and after reducing the ‘force’, even if the book spirit hits them, it was like tickling, and it didn’t hurt at all.
Zhuo Feng and Xin Yan tacitly cooperated, and in the blink of an eye, a mechanical defense field was established around them. It was impossible for the book spirits to get close to them, so that they could find the book as soon as possible without any interference.
Compared with Xu Yishen’s four-person rush, the three of them appeared much more relaxed.
In the south corridor, there were books related to history, philosophy, environment and law.
There were a large number of book spirits in the History Department, and it was difficult to distinguish the specific identities of men and women wearing various ancient costumes, which was a great test for Qin Miao’s eyesight.
Qin Miao first found the <Historical Records> and took away some distinctive book spirits. For example, she recognized Xiang Yu, so she turned to the chapter of <Historical Records: Xiang Yu’s Biographical Sketch> and included Xiang Yu in the book.
Since Sima Qian’s <Historical Records> recorded the lives of a large number of historical figures, Qin Miao relied on this book to continuously collect dozens of corresponding book spirits.
The rest was difficult to distinguish, so she deduced and analyzed it herself.
For example, the difference between the costumes and makeup of the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty was very obvious, and she could first determine which Dynasty these book spirits came from based on the style of clothes they were wearing, then go to the corresponding historical famous people in history, and then looked for the history books of the corresponding dynasties!
There were too many book spirits around, and Qin Miao had no choice but to use ‘Sweeping Liuhe’ to put down a large number of them! Lan Yarong followed up with the Law Department’s fixed term imprisonment and locked up all the book spirits who were approaching.
Lin Manluo threw out five vines and tied up the plants that were flying around!
The ecology-related courses studied in the Faculty of Environment also involved a lot of plants, such as sand dates and sea buckthorn that were suitable for wind and sand fixation.
There were not many books related to law and philosophy, only a few famous people in this subject and Lan Yarong quickly disposed of it. She simply went back to help Qin Miao find history books, and controlled the scene by the way.
Once there were book spirits to interfere with Qin Miao, senior sister Lan would immediately use her skills to focus on them, after all, the amount of work on the history side was huge, and there were many other book spirits that she didn’t recognize at all.
In fact, the western corridor that Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce stayed behind was the most difficult!
Novels were classics, and there would be many characters in one book. Moreover, the description of the text was relatively abstract, with a delicate appearance, tall figure, etc, and after being transformed into a concrete image, it really made people face blind.
The recognizable ones like Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie had already been taken by the first batch, and some of the remaining ones, especially the modern costume book spirits, were hard to recognize from which book they came!
In addition to famous works, there were also some mathematical works in this area.
For Jiang Pingce, it was very simple to collect those formulas floating in the air, he knew which book they came from as soon as he looked at the formulas, and after he had collected all the books in mathematics, he came over to help Yue Xingwen.
With Jiang Pingce as his ‘bodyguard’, Yue Xingwen could find books without any worries.
The students in the four corridors had a clear division of labor and collected books in an orderly manner.
As time passed, the number of book spirits on the scene decreased rapidly, and often a large number were collected at once if the right book was found.
With 10 minutes left in the countdown, the prompt in the hover box changed to——
[Collected Book Spirits 2972/3000]
Students with bad memory like me would die. Yeah, I can’t say the scientists name, but I remember an idea and I want to do research, is it a sin? Chinese system is based on memory and it is not flexible at all((
Ops, I was too busy complaining and I forgot say:
Thank you for your translation 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
