Manbao looked at the forty-three massive books, unsure how many years it would take to finish reading them.
Fortunately, these were science popularization books, so they weren’t expensive.
But forty-three books in total wasn’t a small amount either. Manbao deducted this part of the money and paid the points for the library to print them into paper versions.
There were so differences in the text on both sides. When she purchased them, the library automatically converted the civilization information collected by the system into the script of the host’s world, with their formatting.
They just used more punctuation marks and made the text more straightforward, making it easier to read without having to painstakingly figure out sentence breaks and anings.
At least when Zhou Man read the books in the library, it was easy to understand, and even Bai Erlang could easily read many books.
Although Manbao bought the books, she didn’t take them out to read; instead, she left them in the space. Seeing it filled with many books, she simply went shopping.
She glanced at the bookshelves in the mall, noticing they were much more exquisite than those on her side, but they were also quite expensive.
But she wasn’t short of points now.
Manbao looked at the system space, which was occupied by many books, and simply bought a row of bookshelves. She then went back to her room to organize the books by category and placed them on the shelves.
Once everything was in order, the system space seed much larger, and it was easier to find the books.
Manbao nodded in satisfaction, looking at the heap of miscellaneous items piled to the side. These were various things she’d bought or picked up from the mall or outside, from when she was young until now.
Manbao opened a box and saw a box of pebbles inside, which she had picked up by the river when she was a child.
She scratched her head and straightforwardly bought another bookshelf, placing anything that could fit on it onto the shelf too.
After placing everything she could on the shelf, an hour had passed.
Manbao, hands on her waist, surveyed around and saw that only her money and so precious fabric rewards were scattered on the ground.
These were things she kept herself, and she was in the habit of storing valuable items in her own space.
Manbao took a quick look around and simply went to the mall to buy so nice big boxes. She put the gold and silver into them and placed them on the shelves; as for the copper coins, she left them in the big box.
She organized the fabric and put it on top of the bookshelf. Looking at the tidier space, Manbao nodded in satisfaction.
Her previously gloomy mood suddenly improved.
Keke watched as its own space suddenly seed much more spacious and was also satisfied.
Despondency dispelled from Manbao’s chest, and as she exited the space, wiping the sweat, she said to Keke, "Indeed, when one’s mood is bad, working and moving around a bit, even sweating, is good."
Manbao changed into an inner garnt, lay down on the bed, and sleepiness overca her quickly. She yawned, tilted her head, and fell asleep.
Tonight, she didn’t attend Teacher Mo’s class, but she slept more than an hour later than usual.
Keke didn’t expect her to fall asleep so easily; it couldn’t help but remain silent for a mont. Eventually, it silently maintained the safe scanning range and then went to the forum to handle various information for her.
Upon entering the forum, it discovered a storm was brewing.
Manbao had logged off, but so conflicts weren’t over just because she left. There was still fighting on the forum now.
Posts Manbao had posted before, words she’d said on the forum, and posts by Host 0561 were all being dug up.
Other hosts involved in the dispute were the sa, attacking each other with no intention of stopping.
Keke quietly watched, as did other systems. For the hosts involved, the respective systems couldn’t help but advise and warn, but seeing their hosts weren’t listening, they stopped caring.
The systems thought these hosts were too naive. Did they think the forum inside the library was like their world, where they could speak freely without consequences?
Currently, the only report uploaded was from Keke. The other researchers mingling in the forum noticed sothing was wrong. So left, others reported.
Soon, the anomaly caught the attention of the library’s technicians, forcing them to work overti. As soon as they entered the backend, they received nurous complaints and reports.
The technicians: ...
They could only start from the beginning. After seeing the report from 0531, they had to request intervention from the main system. They needed to verify the situation of 0531’s binding person, but the bound persons of each system were highly confidential in the alliance, not readily accessible.
The report was submitted. They initially thought it would take two or three days for a response. Although the main system doesn’t need to rest, it handles a lot of data, and their issue wasn’t major, it would likely be processed in order, taking at least two or three working days for a reply.
However, the main system replied within monts, requesting qualification for the query and communicating overnight with their library director...
The technicians, unaware: ... It’s a bit scary, isn’t it? Is it really okay to disturb the director so late?
Unexpectedly, the director went online, personally handling those complaints and reports. He also instructed them to investigate the cause and effect of the situation and used highest authority to review the dialogues between Host 0531 and D1567.
The technicians quietly discussed, "Which is special, D1567 or Host 0531?"
"I checked, D1567 seems like an ordinary researcher, nothing special about it, right? The performance of 0531 is quite average. If there’s sothing special, it’s that its binding person is a minor."
"The alliance increasingly enforces protection for minors now."
"Even stricter protocols can’t manage to reach that world, can they? Though there is little information, based on existing data analysis, the civilization of Host 0531 is still in ancient tis, with little protection for children’s interests."
While they were discussing this, instructions from the director and the main system arrived, "Revise the forum, adding 256 new articles to the forum regulations, all in accordance with the Alliance’s Network Security Ordinance. Overti, write out data codes and punish all involved in this violation, following the rules. Researchers in the alliance breaking knowing the law will face double penalties."
The technicians shuddered, dared not to discuss further, and imdiately went to revise the forum and make an announcent.
However, their minds were far from calm.
This forum had hardly changed over the years because of much controversy when it was initially established, applied for by so officials and researchers of the alliance, alongside so subsystems.
Finally, through a year-long discussion, they determined the establishnt of this forum for exchange and trading across worlds, to encourage hosts to complete various recording tasks more quickly.
Due to the diverse world users being difficult to interfere with each other, plus they don’t know each other, making it impossible to et in reality, privacy protection on the forum was almost nonexistent.
People could start threads to sell various recorded items, buy with points or trade, and share recording experiences.
Interested parties could directly bid under the thread, compete, and then sellers would select a trader and complete the transaction.
Thus, every transaction completed through posting could be searched within the forum; it wasn’t difficult to find.
