Chapter 985: Chapter 792 Xia Migia

The ten-foot wide circular corridor looks just like a normal attic.

Standing on the edge of the corridor looking out, you can still see the hall below the Star Tower and the hollow starry sky above your head.

By silently counting the layers on the opposite side of the corridor.

You can indeed count that it is the eighteenth floor.

However, there is no staircase entrance here, and every certain distance on the wall there will be a door emitting white light, with a plaque indicating the floor number next to it.

Xu Shuo stepped into the Light Gate.

In front of him emerged an infinite blank space.

The surroundings had an endless feel, with space orderly lined with ten-layered dark-colored bookshelves, some sporadically filled with books, others packed fully.

It is worth mentioning.

These books all look like handwritten manuals.

After taking in the surroundings, Xu Shuo casually walked to a bookshelf.

Then he picked up a book and began to browse.

This book documented the method of drawing some spells, and very considerately explained the summoning details of these spells, the scenarios they could be used in, and even precisely calculated the possible spiritual power consumption to a “point.”

Of course, not all books were like this.

Some books are very straightforward and rough.

They just tell you the spell’s effect and level without much else.

The Star Tower only categorized the Spell Collection into three stages: low, mid, and high, and each stage is further divided into three minor levels.

Xu Shuo walked and read at the same time.

Then he found that the spells on these bookshelves were mostly low-stage spells.

This wasn’t enough to satisfy him.

Xu Shuo looked at the few constantly following four-pointed stars in the corner of his vision, reached out, tapped one, and reopened the search box to search again.

This time, he added the words “High Rank” after “Spell Collection.”

[Searching in progress.]

[The current search result requires floor jumping.]

[Jumping.]

There was a slight shift in his vision.

Xu Shuo reappeared at the entrance of the circular corridor.

The plaque at the entrance read “Fifty-Sixth Floor.”

Though it was the same circular corridor, this floor seemed closer to the hollow starry sky from a visual standpoint, and further away from the hall at the base of the tower.

Inside was a similarly arranged bookshelves in white space, Xu Shuo went in and picked up a book from the nearest shelf to browse.

After watching for a while this time.

He was somewhat satisfied.

Whether he could use them or not, he decided to first memorize the construction of these spell runes, and try them carefully when he returns to his personal space.

This kind of thing could fully be accomplished with spiritual power.

While reading, Xu Shuo suddenly thought of the spell Wald XVIII once used, which could copy others’ abilities.

Though the copied effects were not entirely the same.

At least they bore a resemblance.

…

Thinking till here, Xu Shuo once again tapped a four-pointed star.

He input the search target.

[Searching in progress.]

[Current search results 30816 entries.]

[(Flip page)]

Xu Shuo: “…”

It’s surprising that there are thousands of types of copy spells.

When the Baseless One initially created these spells, did he deliberately categorize them into copying clothes, copying food, copying houses, copying carriages and such specificities?

No wonder the legend speaks of a million Daoist Arts.

Xu Shuo rubbed his forehead, suddenly lifting his eyes to look at the bookshelf before him.

When he came in earlier, he noticed that on the topmost layer of each bookshelf, there’s a four-pointed star stuck at the center, so Xu Shuo reached out, tentatively tapping this star.

The little star immediately became a search box.

As expected…

Generally, people sensitive to the operational mechanism of a program will have a smooth time when they first learn computing.

Just like in middle school, some people handle their first encounter with a computer by extrapolating after reading the computer textbook and open small games to have fun themselves.

And some people find it hard to use “Save As” in Word files even when following textbook steps.

You can’t really say they’re foolish.

What if they’re still a learning committee member?

…

Xu Shuo, at this moment, extrapolates and directly inputs the type of spell he wanted.

The next moment, the surrounding bookshelves vanished.

The entire white space seemed to undergo a three-dimensional structural shift, all bookshelves instantly cleared and dispersed, then a new bookshelf appeared before Xu Shuo.

With only a few scattered books placed on it.

Xu Shuo paused for a moment, picked up a book to browse.

Current Node Position Copy Spell — By simulating the spatial node position of what is seen, it reproduces the scene back then, the simulated form constructed through the caster’s cognition.

This book is very thin, a type of handwritten manual, and the entire book only introduced this one spell.

After the introduction of the spell in the first few pages.

Followed by the experiment details of the spell.

It can be seen that the writer of this booklet must have a scholar personality, hence the rigor instead of recording just a single spell rune in a straightforward manner.

Meanwhile, Xu Shuo noticed a bright point.

It seems that records of more prestigious spells are all in such thin handwritten booklets.

So he started specifically looking for these booklets.

…

…

In the Star Tower, it indeed is easy to lose track of time.

After all, learning is boundless.

Especially in such a “search environment” like the Star Tower, it’s extremely suitable for learning.

After entering the Star Tower, as it directly connects with the player’s spiritual power, you won’t encounter a second player during searches at all.

Hence you won’t face troubles like book grabbing/enemy encounters/suddenly disliking someone, etc.

It’s extremely pleasant.

Thus, it wasn’t until Xu Shuo’s set alarm went off.

That he realized the time.

Originally, Xu Shuo planned to take a look at the Star Guild’s skills, thinking maybe he could learn a trick or two, but it seems he would have to do that another day.

After all, even when he comes tomorrow, he’ll still need to finish searching the spells in the “Spell Collection.”

After placing the book back on the shelf, Xu Shuo tapped a star in his vision and directly logged out from the Star Tower.

In the next second, he appeared in the center of the attic in a white light beam.

In a logged-out state.

In the light beam, you could see the external situation.

Xu Shuo was about to step out.

When suddenly a few voices spoke beside him.

“Hey, Xia Migia, your grounded period should be almost over, right?”

“Yeah… It ends and then I have to immediately enter the script again, seriously, making me stay here to read books all this time…”

“So why were you grounded by the president?”

“Please, stop bringing it up again…”

“Okay, okay, I won’t ask anymore.”

It was two girls talking.

The voice of the latter girl sounded a bit collapsing.

Xu Shuo turned his head to look, but only managed to vaguely see the two blurry shadows walking in the light beam, and it wasn’t until they walked out into the open that their figures became clear.

One of the girls had reddish-brown shoulder-length mid-length hair, wore a medieval-style corseted shirt and black jodhpurs, her stride agile and brisk.

If not judging by her head-holding wailing posture.

The back view should suggest she’s a gallant and straightforward girl.

Xu Shuo was suddenly drawn to their conversation because Hong Rao had mentioned this person to him before.

The one seemingly discovering his BUG.

Later, Hong Rao said she would help solve it, and after returning, she handed this person’s information to him, Xu Shuo gave a little attention and didn’t concern himself with how it was resolved.

And now it seems…

Turns out she was grounded for so long.

Silently offer condolences.
