Heaven-made Ring - C185
Before Tian Cheng had seen the Hidden Scriptures Pavilion, he had always thought that its uses were similar to that of the library’s. Actually, this was a fundamental error, at least in terms of the name, ‘Hidden Scriptures Pavilion’, it was more imposing than ‘library’!
The things stored in the Hidden Scriptures Pavilion here were much more profound than those stored in a mere library! All sorts of knowledge and cultures around the world were nothing. The most valuable things were martial skills, secret manuals of magic, experts’ training experiences, and other things that could help to raise one’s strength. These were all priceless treasures! This was also one of the main reasons why St. Bist Royal Academy could become one of the four great academies in the continent, why the students here could achieve such great progress, and why other races could not build a better academy. They did not have the resources, much less the strength!
Hidden Scriptures Pavilion could be considered as the center of an academy and a sacred place, so it was necessary to have a little more rules. They weren’t worried about the loss of resources, as it was impossible under normal circumstances. The administrators here were all terrifying existences. People who could do anything under their noses usually did not appear here. Furthermore, there was a high-tech ‘pinhole camera’ here, wasn’t there?
There is a lot of high-level information here, but you have to have the right to do so. If you don’t have the strength, you can only enjoy low-grade resources! The main purpose of the rules was to motivate students to continuously increase their strength and enjoy high-quality resources.
The two middle aged men stopped Tian Cheng just so they could tell him the rules.
“The Hidden Scriptures Pavilion has a total of ten floors. The first floor only has some living knowledge, and most of the five thousand years of the continent’s culture have been stored inside. Only you can’t think of it, there’s nothing you can’t see. It involved various races, countries, and even some famous families. From the second floor all the way to the tenth floor is just martial arts and magic knowledge. As the floor increases, its value will also increase! ”
“Right now, because you have yet to be assigned to any class, you only have the right to enter the first level. However, because your situation is rather special, you can stay on the fifth level for two hours.” In the future, your qualifications to enter the different levels will be determined by the number of cards you have, your grades, and your classes. After three months, you will begin to divide your classes, and at that time, you will naturally know which level you can enter. ”
“Entering the Hidden Scriptures Pavilion is not free, the first floor will charge 10 points per hour, the second floor will charge 15 points per hour, the third floor will charge 20 points per hour, the fourth floor will cost 30 points, and the fifth floor will cost 50 points. “Hur hur, you’ll know about it in the future. It’s useless to say it now!”
“So, treasure the two hours on the fifth floor!” “It’s not easy to earn 100 points. Maybe you haven’t started earning points yet, so you don’t know how difficult it is. Even if your strength isn’t bad, 100 points would still take a lot of time and effort.”
This set of fees in the academy was strictly based on the student’s own strength and ability to earn points. As for which level one had the right to spend points, that was the most suitable level of knowledge. No, no, you don’t understand, it’s just a waste of points to go up; it’s not a big help to you. Under the temptation of this high-level knowledge, you will work hard.
It could be said that every single measure within the St. Bist Royal Academy was designed for students to increase their strength with the fastest speed and highest efficiency. This was a small society, but the medium to trade here was only through points and not gold coins. Most of them were the children of noble talents with prominent statuses. How could they allow themselves to be in that position?
After understanding all of this, Tian Cheng bowed to express his thanks to the two middle-aged men, and walked into the passage. The first stop would naturally be the first floor, and as for the fifth floor, it would exist for two hours. Tian Cheng did not understand much about Holy Element Power techniques, so he would need to consult with others for a bit.
What Tian Cheng lacked was just basic knowledge. Of course, there were many flaws in cultivation, but no one could help him, unless the Hidden Scriptures Pavilion recorded the cultivation methods and martial skills of the Source Power. However, that seemed to be impossible. The Source Power belongs to the ancient era, so even if there were records, it would be recorded in ancient language. Tian Cheng was not worried that he would not be able to understand them, after going through the secret messages in the teleportation circle last time, he already knew that he had the ability to understand ancient language.
Not only did people on Earth understand archaeology, people here also liked to do this, especially in the ancient times. That was the main point of archaeology! The ancient characters were the only road that led to the ancient era, could they take this road out and let others walk around as they pleased? Even if someone else couldn’t take this road, they wouldn’t be willing.
Their archaeological purpose, however, was not to discover a culture, but to seek power and glory in the past. The items left behind during the ancient times were all extraordinary. Any one of those weapons could even be considered a Divine Instrument! What is a Divine Instrument? It was a battle weapon among weapons, and those who had it were equivalent to gods. With the current technology of humans, to create a Divine Instrument was simply a pipe dream! There was still a chance for the experts of the dwarf. Someone had once found a Divine Instrument today, and because of this Divine Instrument, he had swept across the entire continent. However, he had only appeared once in the vast history of the continent.
Other than the Divine Instrument, there were many others that could be found in archaeology, such as teleportation formations. It was one of the many lost civilizations that people searched for. After countless years of struggle, the space mages finally managed to find it. Although its function wasn’t even half of that of the ancient era, it was already a cross-era research!
After walking through the long passage, Tian Cheng arrived at the entrance to the first floor.
“Uncle, I want to study here. What should I do?” Walking in, Tian Cheng asked an old man who was busy with something. This person should be the manager of this level. From the middle-aged man’s words, Tian Cheng also understood that the strength of these managers were not ordinary. Therefore, it was better to be polite.
Without even looking at Tian Cheng, the old man continued to busy himself with his work, and said indifferently: “Put the card here, and you can go in.”
After taking out his card and placing it on the table, Tian Cheng walked in.
“Is this the legendary Hidden Scriptures Pavilion? This is way too different from what we imagined! ” As he walked into the pavilion, Tian Cheng couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise when he was shocked by everything that was happening in front of him. Compared to those libraries, this place was truly like a sea of books! The ten thousand square meters of space was filled with bookshelves, and each bookshelf was filled with a thick layer of books. There were no gaps in the books at all. The cover of every book was made from the skin of Magical Beast of the second level and above. It was simple, thick, and extremely rich! What kind of academy was St. Bist Royal Academy? Would they take in the usual books?
“This time we’re going big!” In the future, this place will all be mine! “Haha!” Seeing this, Tian Cheng shouted excitedly in his heart. This could be considered as a form of inertia! Back when he was Dr. Tian Cheng, the library was his favorite place. Only by staying silent in the ocean of books could he feel how small he was, and at the same time, feel unprecedented happiness. The book belonged to the academy, but the knowledge contained within it belonged to the human race. Whoever could read it away would belong to that person, so Tian Cheng was not wrong to say that all of it was his.
Rushing forward, Tian Cheng casually picked up a book and started reading. The knowledge that Tian Cheng lacked was simply too much, so even if he randomly picked up a book, he would be interested in it. Perhaps it was also because he was too interested in too many things.
He wished that he could study everything in this world. After going through the age of science and technology, he was naturally very interested in these things. However, it was obviously impossible! If he didn’t do anything at the beginning and was still as engrossed in research as that Doctor Tian Cheng from before, and didn’t have any relatives or friends, it would still be possible. However, everything had changed for him. The focus of his work was on how to increase his strength, how to protect his loved ones from harm, and how to build his own world! He was not restricted by anyone!
There weren’t many people on the first floor of the Hidden Scriptures Pavilion, and there were only a few at a glance. It wasn’t that the students here didn’t like to learn, but that the knowledge they wanted to learn on the first level was too little. In terms of basic knowledge, they knew more about this world than Tian Cheng, and their requirements for this knowledge were not as high as Tian Cheng, so they were not willing to waste time and knowledge on it. If a certain great beauty were to browse through books here, the situation would be different. At that time, the points would be wasted.
The upper floors were where they wanted to go the most, but there weren’t many people here. The academy’s requirements were especially high in this area. Under normal circumstances, when you were still a rookie who was under the Element General Level, you wouldn’t be able to enter the fifth or higher level at all, and the cost wasn’t something an ordinary person could afford. Reading there wasn’t like reading about life, and it only took a blink of an eye to do so.
After about ten minutes, Tian Cheng finished flipping through the first book that was about ten centimeters thick. As someone who possessed a mutated soul, his memory was extraordinary. This kind of speed was normal for him. If he needed to spend more time, all the books on the first floor would be memorized by him.
Although Tian Cheng was currently in the Southern Wind Empire, and he didn’t really want to admit it, in terms of reputation, he was still a member of the Empire. Understanding and cherishing his own country, these were things that every citizen should do. This saying was indeed a little disgusting to someone. Alright! He admitted that the main purpose of this book was to understand the current power of the royal family so that it could serve as a foundation for his future development. It had to be known that right now, he was in trouble with a King of Suppressing the South. A King of Suppressing the North was in conflict with him, and the relationship between these kings and emperors was quite normal. Even Jake knew that many emperors wanted to become emperors, who knew if that would include him! If they were to fight in the future, he had to make sure of his own position.
Next, the second, the third …
