Magic Industrial Age.

Chapter 5: Library
Walking in the afternoon sunshine, crossing the training ground and passing several laboratory buildings, Luo Yi finally reached his destination before the class bell rang.

It was a big lake with a small island in the lake and a magnificent building built on the island.

Twelve rock-carved pillars support the dome of the entire building, and the floor is paved with white marble, so smooth that you can see your reflection.

Coupled with the large floor-to-ceiling windows and the soft light of the magic crystal chandeliers, this place is bright and dazzling whether it is day or night.

As Luo Yi strolled through it, he really felt like he was traveling between civilization and wilderness, knowledge and time. It was very unique!

This is the library of the Philante School of Magic.

Lloyd admitted that the Habsburg Empire was indeed very different from the Norman Duchy he remembered.

In the Norman Duchy, the characteristics of feudal serfdom were written all over the place, and the nobles almost monopolized all resources.

Not to mention tangible things such as fields, forests, mines and wealth, the most important thing is all kinds of knowledge, which only the nobles can access.

In other words, if one's background is not good, no matter how ambitious one is, there is nothing one can do about it.

There is only one way to go: rebel!

The Norman Duchy also has a library, which was built by the Grand Duke of Normandy. It is located in the royal capital and contains many books, but only this one.

If you want to enter and check the information, it is impossible without a noble title.

But the Habsburg Empire is different!

In the Habsburg Empire, almost every magic academy has a library with at least 300,000 books covering various aspects such as history, literature, poetry, astronomy, geography, arithmetic, and the supernatural.

And this is just the individual contribution of the Habsburg royal family and the Hohenzollern family, which is standard in every library.

In addition, there are separate collections from magic academies, contributions from nobles, and works by scholars from all over the world, so that every library is a treasure.

Moreover, every student in the magic academy is eligible to enter, choose the content of their interest, and read and study.

This alone is the progress of civilization and the liberation of knowledge.

Luo Yi walked briskly into this vast palace of knowledge with his student badge, and lingered among the bookshelves.

However, he did not rush to the 'supernormal area', but after searching for a while, he found the 'historical area'.

Then, he started from the wilderness and ancient times long ago, and gradually explored the context of this world.

Because he was using Deep Blue's scanning module, he didn't have to pick some books and then find a seat like the others did.

Instead, he found a corner, tried his best to avoid other people's eyes, and quickly flipped through the pages.

To be precise, Deep Blue does not possess intelligence, but its "data analysis module" is extremely useful and can provide various feasible methods under existing conditions.

However, this kind of "analysis" does not come out of thin air, but requires the assistance of various conditions. Therefore, the more information in the storage module, the more accurate the analysis will be.

Now, Luo Yi is here to supplement the basic information of this world.

He actually didn't mind reading through all the books in the library, but that would take some time.

As time passed during the reading, Luo Yi became more and more focused. A light blue light flashed in his eyes, and he could scan a page in just one or two breaths.

Luo Yi has always felt that the biggest function of the intelligent gene butler is actually the scanning module and the auxiliary learning module.

There is no way. With the development of technology, what we have brought about is an information explosion. People need to receive too much information, and traditional reading and learning methods are no longer enough.

The scanning module of the intelligent gene butler perfectly solves this problem. Not only is the speed of entering information fast enough, but it can also automatically organize, classify and store it.

If needed, it can also automatically retrieve, extract, combine and apply!

On the Blue Planet of that era, almost everyone was a polymath, and it was nothing unusual.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the sky outside was already dark.

Because Luo Yi had something on his mind, he did not delay. He put down the book in his hand and walked out of the library.

He boarded a public carriage at the entrance of the college and finally arrived at 19 Lombard Street just as the last ray of sunlight disappeared at the end of the sky.

Here, the young boy Ang has been waiting for a long time. The boy is still wearing the ill-fitting gentleman's suit and holding an old cane in his hand.

The only difference was that there was a hat on his head, which was neither new nor old.

Seeing Luo Yi getting off the carriage, Ange almost trotted forward and handed over a purse.

"Mr. Loy, is this your reward?"

Luo Yi took it and shook it slightly, but did not open it to check. He just looked Ange up and down before asking, "How is it? No one is bothering you today, right?"

"how come?"

Ange gestured exaggeratedly: "That's the first mate of the Bloody Mary, Jack the Ripper, a pirate who killed people like crazy.

You don’t know, when I sent the body to the police station, those people looked terrified, as if they were all frightened.”

“In the streets of the east city, our Brotherhood has made a name for itself.

They may not care about us beggars, but they are definitely very afraid of you behind us, and you also allow us to beg for food. Mr. Luo Yi, on behalf of the brothers in the gang, I would like to express my highest gratitude to you. "

The power of the Habsburg Empire is unquestionable, but that does not mean there are no dark corners.

In fact, the newly emerging magic industrial revolution has had a huge impact on society, affecting almost every aspect.

The city of Oakland doesn't even have a decent police station, and public security is managed by the city guards.

Those police stations were equivalent to where the city guards were stationed, and the crime-solving rate remained at three percent all year round, which was almost zero.

This has also given rise to two industries: detectives who focus on tracking and solving cases, and bounty hunters who focus on chasing and arresting people.

Of course, there are even more gangs entrenched in one place and mercenaries engaging in various illegal trades.

Everything is imperfect, naturally, everything seems so chaotic.

The eastern part of Oakland is a slum with a mixed crowd and numerous gangs.

The most miserable people are orphans like Ang.

They had no parental support and no source of income, so they could only do jobs like selling newspapers and delivering letters, and they went hungry every day.

And that’s not even counting the oppression, robbery and bullying by gang members.

It was by chance that Luo Yi saved Ang once.

He is not a saint, but he has a bottom line. There are some things that he really cannot ignore.

It was only that time that Ang got entangled with him!

Over time, the two sides reached a cooperation. Ang would use his intelligence network to provide Luo Yi with accurate information, while Luo Yi would do the actual work himself.

The business deal was for Jack and his two companions who had escaped from prison, and the reward they received was a 2:8 split.

Luo Yi got 80% and Ang got 20%, but what Ang valued most was actually reputation. If the Brotherhood had made a name for themselves, they, the little guys, would have an easier time.

Looking at Ange, Luo Yi nodded slightly and said, "I can help you partly, but I can't help you forever.

So, Ange, you should practice the swift swordsmanship I taught you more."

"Mr. Roy, I will try my best."

"Okay, that's it. I look forward to your good news next time."

"Ok!"

After sending Ange away, Roy opened the door and went home. Mrs. Cassidy had already greeted him with a smile.

Luo Yi did not hesitate. He ordered a portion of hot water and food, then walked upstairs.

In his room, he cleaned up the harvest.

Jack the Ripper, as a well-known figure, was worth eighty silver tyres, while the bounty on his two subordinates was only twenty silver tyres each.

This order totaled one hundred and twenty silver tiers, and Luo Yi took eighty percent of it, which was ninety-six silver tiers.

Ange was sensible and gave a full one hundred silver tyers, which is equivalent to one gold coin.

This is already a month's income for a man from a middle-class family with a decent job.

Luo Yi was quite happy to get this windfall. He had a sumptuous dinner, took a shower, and then lay down on the bed without any delay, starting the auxiliary learning module.

Among the many modules of Deep Blue, the scanning module collects information, but the collected information is just collected. Remembering and learning are two different things.

Therefore, the auxiliary learning module has a basis for existence.

To assist learning, as the name suggests, the intelligent gene butler will use the content of the book as a blueprint and conduct secondary analysis to create an illusion that is almost real.

The power of words is never as strong as real experience, just like reading is not as memorable as watching a movie.

Of course, people will forget things eventually, and auxiliary learning is just auxiliary. How much one can understand depends on the individual.

But this is already very good. It is several times or even dozens of times faster than normal learning.

That night, Luo Yi seemed to have had countless bizarre dreams. By the morning, he had already digested all the history books he had read the day before.

Well, I can’t say that I have completely digested it, but I have some memory of it in my mind, and when I need it, I can retrieve it by following the clues.

In this way, for four days in a row, he exercised in the morning, read in the afternoon, and digested in the evening.

On the fifth day, Shenlan finally brought good news that the 'character attribute panel' he constructed had been preliminarily completed.

　Currently there are two updates a day, fixed at 6pm and 6:10pm!

　　Please read on...
