The tranquility drink was worth the price of 2000 low-tier soul jades, not only because it was purely made of concentrated pure mental energy but because drinking it I and my mutated consciousnesses entered a state of hyper concentration. As Dredre said, it cleared my mind of all distributing thoughts and sole focus on what I was doing. The tranquility drink was like fuel to my mind.
Unter the hyper concentration, me and my mutated consciousnesses began to use the Hive AI to copy each book on self under in about a second or two. Dredre who was waiting on us was astonished to see all four of me just flip through a book and move to the next one on the self.
One month in the sector DS0909 was ten months in the card world. This meant that if I were to waste my monthly free reading hour just to read these books then I will have to wait ten months to get another free hour to exploit the membership privilege of the library and read the books I wanted to read for free.
ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom Therefore, I dwindled the 87,876 books to 508 books so that I can not only get the information I wanted from these for free but also have enough time left for me to read other books in this library. This library was a treasure trove of knowledge from across myriad realms and every minute of the monthly free reading hour was precious. I could not waste it and be careful how I use them while getting the most from every second.
In under five minutes, I and my mutated consciousnesses copied all 508 books using the Hive AI and yelled, "Stop the time, I will save the remaining minutes of the free reading hour for another day."
"What… wait what?" hearing my yell Dredre woke up from her shock. Taking her time to understand what I just asked of her Dredre was once again stunned because none of her clients until now had asked her to pause their free reading hour, to save it for later.
Quickly going through the regulations of the library Dredre found that nothing about this was mentioned there. Then she decisively made an executive decision to pause the time as there were no laws against it and there was a law that asked her to serve the customer to the best of her power as long as their request did not violate the library's regulation. Though she did plan to bring this situation to the notice of her immediate superior when her duty as the guide to the customer was complete.
"Wyatt, you have used 4 minutes 47 seconds of your monthly free reading hour," Dredre reported while wondering if her client really did read all the 508 books within 4 minutes 47 seconds. She found it hard to believe it but the client has a special soul so anything was possible as special souls were known to have abilities that defied the norms.
"Um," I was glad that I and my mutated consciousnesses were able to copy 508 books in under five minutes and added, "Dredre, I need books describing various races of the myriad realm."
"There a many books on this certain topic. Might I recommend this set of books, they were personally written by the Librarian. And I promise you there was nothing the other books that you will not find in this book," It wasn't clear if Dredre was promoting her boss's books or if she was really speaking the truth. Since I did not want to waste my precious free reading hour over this insignificant information that could only help me identify various races across myriad realms I decided to go with Dredre's recommendation, "Sure, I will read them."
Dredre joyously summoned an encyclopedia written by her master titled 'Myriad Realm Myriad Race Records.' and said, "Your free reading hour will start once you touch the book."
Myriad Realm Myriad Race Records was a set of 28 thick books recording every race, the tribes among them, each of their culture, dos, and don'ts of all the races across the Myriad realm in detail with exclusive illustrations. Within a minute I and my mutated consciousness copied these records, and now I had about 54 minutes of my free reading time left.
"You read all of those books already?" Dredre questioned me curiously.
"Kind of," I did not bother to lie, it was not worth it, and nor did I offer the truth as it was my business and nobody else's business.
"Wyatt, what else can I help you with?" Dredre asked.
With the two of my priorities for visiting the inter-realm city completed I did not have any more reason to stay in the library. I could try to learn various advanced knowledge like realm travel, combat arts, array mastery, etc but I, myself, did not know what I wanted to learn or should learn. So instead of wasting my precious free reading time wondering which arts or method I wanted to learn I decided to do some research on the inter-realm network to understand what would be the best use of the remaining free reading period for me.
"No, this is it for now," I answered to Dredre.
"Okay, I will walk you to the exit," Dredre then used the library array to bring me back to the entrance of the library and waved me goodbye.
Walking out of the library I instructed Hive AI to process all the information we collected by copying nearly 536 books. Then I explored the copied mall map to see where I can find realm tokens. On the 46th floor, there was a big store that sold second-hand realm tokens. I planned to buy a second-hand realm token if there were any within my price range because new realm tokens were not sold but auctioned. And my wealth was nowhere near participating in those auctions.
