Offer blocks to the end times

As she spoke, she suddenly kissed Senju on the cheek, then ran off with a grin. Sento hesitated for a moment before running over, kissing Senju, and then running away as well.

Chito and Yuri ran to the side and started laughing and joking. Chito, who had been kissed twice, touched her face and felt very happy. She stood there and started giggling. It took her a while to calm down.

"Senju, the food is ready! Come and eat!" Yuri called out from the side. When Senju looked over, she saw Yuri waving a spoon around, disappearing and reappearing. It seemed she was quite skilled at it.

"Okay, I'm coming right now," Senju replied and walked to the table. Seeing how skillfully she handled the equipment, Senju decided to teach the two of them how to fish in her spare time, to see what good catches they could get, and also to give them a set of tools.

"Chi, how's it going?" Senju asked during the meal. After taking a sip of soup, Chito looked at Senju seriously. "Senju, this ability is really convenient. It can store a lot of food, water, and various supplies. But it might cause you some harm."

"Don't worry, this won't hurt me. I'll make some tools and equipment for you later," Senju shook his head to indicate that he was fine. However, the two of them didn't have any tools yet, so it seemed like it was time to make some.

After the three of them sat down to eat, Senju went to the side and started making tools. Chito and Yuri watched from the side. The tools were mostly made of iron, including shovels, pickaxes, axes, a set of iron armor, an iron sword, a bow and arrows, as well as a few levers, iron buckets, flint and steel and a few pieces of hellrock.

After giving the two a bunch of things, Senju felt that was enough, so he started teaching them how to use the tools. Yuri also tried putting the armor into the equipment slot that Senju had mentioned, and then a set of armor appeared on her.

"Sigh, this looks like a lot of trouble," Yuri said after moving around in the armor for a while. She found that it didn't affect her movements much, but putting on more clothes would be a bit of a hassle, and it would look a little strange.

"Well," Senju said casually, but inwardly he was asking Number Six, "Is there any way to solve this?"

"Yes, you just need to silently think about hiding it, but then the armor's defense will only be half," Number Six's voice suddenly appeared in Senju's mind. After listening, Senju told the two of them the method.

After listening, the two concealed their armor, and the two iron men returned to their usual appearance. However, Thousand Hands still maintained his armored form, since half of his defensive power was still important, even though it was of little use here.

After resting for a while and stuffing some more things into their packs, the three of them went outside. When Senju put the hut away, he saw the two of them starting to dig blocks into the snow wall next to them. Neither of them had backpacks on them, so it seemed that they had put everything in their packs.

"Ready to go? There are better cubes in the city," Senju said, taking the canvas off the car. The two of them came over. "Ah, this is amazing, I feel like I can't stop."

Despite saying that, the two still got back into the car, and Yuri called out from the back, "Oh, let's go find more things in the city, let's go, let's go."

"Oh!" Qianhu cheered as he led the way, and the three of them then began to move towards the city in their car. The sun had only just risen.

Upon arriving in the city, it was still as desolate and dilapidated as ever. After walking around for a while, Yuri started clamoring to dig for blocks. The three of them stopped at a small building, and Yuri excitedly picked up her pickaxe and began digging.

"Be careful, don't dig randomly, or the building will collapse," Senju reminded the two as she watched their work. However, the digging process was easy; after Yuri dug a few times, the small building began to sway.

"Run! It's going to collapse!" Thousand Hands quickly pulled the two away to a distance. A moment later, the small building collapsed and turned into ruins. Only then did the three of them actually start looking for the cubes.

"That was really dangerous," Yuri said, looking at the collapsed building. "It felt like an explosion. It's a bit dangerous."

“Yes, that’s true. It would be much more convenient to use explosives,” Chito nodded and began digging blocks and items from the ruins.

"As for explosives, I still have a few boxes here," Thousand Hands said from the side. He already had a lot of blocks on him and was looking for some different items.

"So there are more?" Qianhu was pleased after hearing this, then looked at the blocks he had found. "But all I found here are iron ingots and concrete; there's almost nothing else."

“Yeah, it’s the same here. It’s a bit disappointing,” Yuri said, rummaging through the items and finding only the two kinds of things. “It doesn’t seem like there’s anything else. Let’s keep going and see what else is inside.”

“Okay,” the two people next to him agreed. There was nothing else here, and they had dug up enough blocks. The three of them got into the car and left.

Along the way, Yuri began to pay attention to the materials of the surrounding buildings, but after walking for a long time, Yuri realized that the houses here seemed to be made of similar building materials.

After walking for a while, the area ahead turned into a cluster of tall buildings with many pillars.

The structure supports the entire building, with ramps leading upwards. After a careful look, Senju realized that the three of them had not yet reached the actual ground level. They were probably still at the bottom edge of this level. After observing for a while, Senju began to climb upwards along the ramps.

After driving up the slope for a while, they noticed that the sun was shining brightly on the area. Taking advantage of the good weather, the three of them wanted to climb as much as possible and get to the top as soon as possible.

However, after driving for a while, Chito stopped the car at a platform between slopes. She got out of the car, walked to the side, picked up a book from the ground, and cheered, "Look, it's a book!"

"Why are there books here?" Yuri looked around with some doubt. The area was not large, but there was a dark doorway on the wall next to it, and a ladder attached to the wall. The most suspicious thing was that doorway.

Chapter 173 There is a Path to the Mountain of Books

"Chihiro, what book did you find?" Senju got out of the car and asked. Chito saw Senju coming over and handed him the book. "Chihiro must recognize the words in it. It looks a lot like the words you taught me."

"Really? Let me see," Senju said, taking the book and looking at it. He recognized a few words and pointed them out to Chito: "Will, appearance, two."

"Senju actually knows them! That's amazing!" Chito looked at Senju excitedly, his intense gaze making Senju quite embarrassed. "It's nothing. I don't know many of these either. I'll teach you to read them tonight."

"Yes, that's great!" Chito cheered, hugging and shaking Chito. Yuri, who was next to her, saw how happy Chito was and congratulated her happily, "That's great, Chito, you have another book that you can understand."

“Hehe,” Qianhu excitedly took the book, looked at the words on it and silently pondered, “Will and appearance, huh?”

“But this place looks suspicious.” Yuri looked at the doorway from the side; it was dark inside and she couldn’t see anything clearly.

“Indeed,” Chito also stood to the side, looking at the doorway next to him. “Let’s go in and explore, see what’s inside.”

Chito then put the book into his bag, and the three of them got into the car and drove in through the door. It was pitch black inside, and no sunlight could get in. The surrounding lights seemed to be broken. Chito turned on the headlights and drove inside.

After driving for a while, tall walls appeared on the side. Although they didn't know why there were so many separate walls, the three of them continued on their way.

“These really look like bookshelves,” Yuri exclaimed, looking at the rows of walls next to her. Chito and Senju also looked at the walls next to them. “They do look like bookshelves, but they can’t be bookshelves. These walls are much bigger than bookshelves, and there are so many of them.”

"Really? But even though Grandpa doesn't have this many bookshelves, he still has a lot of books," Yuri said, still staring blankly at the walls.

After driving for a while, Yuri seemed to have noticed something and shouted from the car, "Chihiro, stop, stop."

Although Chito didn't understand, he still stopped the car. Yuri also ran from the car to the side and picked something up from the ground. Both Chito and Senju looked over.

“Look at this, it’s a book,” Yuri held up the thing in her hand for the two of them to see. Senju looked at it carefully in the dim light around them. “History of Architectural Science.”

“Hey, does Senju know?” Yuri handed the book in her hand to Senju, and Chito, who was next to her, also came over, looking excited and eager. “Great, we actually found two books. Senju, you have to teach me!”

"Okay, I'll teach you properly tonight," Senju quickly agreed, feeling Chito's burning gaze. He had already been teaching her Chinese characters for a while, so these shouldn't be too difficult for her to learn.

At this moment, Yuri took a few steps to the side and called out to the two of them, "Wait, bring the lamp over, there seem to be some more here."

"Really?" Upon hearing this, Chito took out a fuel lamp from his package, lit it, and walked over. In the light, Chito saw a pile of books on the ground and exclaimed excitedly, "Oh! Oh! Oh!"

"Yuri, it's books! There are so many!" Chito exclaimed excitedly, shaking Yuri beside him as he saw the huge pile of books on the ground.

While still in the car, Senju looked at the book in his hand and noticed a symbol on the back, composed of circles and lines. Hearing Sengoku's exclamation, he went over to it as well.

"Wait a minute," but at this moment, Qianhu seemed to have discovered something. He took a few steps forward and stood next to the walls. Looking at the walls that had been revealed, Qianhu was still somewhat incredulous. "Could these walls be bookshelves?"

The two people behind them also came over, and by the light of the lantern, they saw the true face of the 'wall'. It was made up of rows of bookshelves. Yuri exclaimed in surprise as she looked at the stacked bookshelves, "It's so big, and there are so many books."

"Ahhh," Qianhu exclaimed, bewildered by the sheer number of books. He grabbed them and started loading them into the car. "I'll just take as many as I can."

"Calm down, Chihiro," Yuri called out, shaking the dazed Chihiro, then pointed to the tall bookshelf wall beside them, "There's no way you can take them all, because there are..."

so much."

Thousand Hands also placed torches in the middle of the aisle. Under the torchlight, bookshelves could be seen on both sides, but the tops were still obscured by darkness.

Chito looked at the seemingly endless bookshelves beside him and came to his senses. He looked at the books with some distress and finally felt a happy helplessness. "Anyway, let's fill the package first."

"But they're so tall, they can't possibly reach the books on top," Yuri said, looking at the towering bookshelves with some doubt, since they all looked to be dozens of meters high.

"So there should be a ladder or something here," Chito guessed after looking around. Yuri then took the lantern and started walking forward, followed by the two behind her.

“Oh, really?” Yuri stopped after walking for a while. There was a conspicuous piece of equipment on the bookshelf wall in front of her. It was an iron plate with a metal frame on top and some railings below. There was a pillar in the middle, which was close to the bookshelf next to it. You could also see the rails on the bookshelf.

“But this is more like an elevator than a ladder,” Chito said with some emotion. Senju recognized it as well; it must have been designed for reading on these tall bookshelves.

The three of them went up and searched for a while before finding a control box with several buttons on it. The buttons for up, down, left, and right were very obvious. After pressing a large button, a light came on on the central pillar.

"Can it still move?" After fiddling around for a bit, Yuri figured out what the buttons were for. She pressed the up button, and the elevator slowly rose up.

"Oh, oh," Yuri watched the elevator operate, then pressed the right button. After the elevator rose for a while, it began to move to the right. "Ah, so you can walk sideways too."

"Wait, with all this movement, I can't read the love letters," Chito quickly reminded Yuri as she watched the book keep flashing by.

"Ah, sorry, sorry," Yuri realized what was happening and ran to the control box to stop the elevator. Senju, on the other hand, didn't react much because he was communicating with Number Six in his mind.

Chapter 174 More Than a Hundred Stars

When Senju saw so many books, he had one thought: to take all of them away. However, after calculating how many he could carry, Senju felt that he would need hundreds or thousands of himself to do so.

However, when you can't solve it yourself, just ask the magical Number Six. After calling out in your mind for a while, Number Six's voice appeared. She seemed to have heard what Thousand Hands was thinking and said, "There's no way. It's impossible to move it all. There are over 10 billion books here. Even if you use boxes, it would take tens of millions of boxes."

"Ten billion? That doesn't seem like much. But it's such a waste to leave it here. Can't we put it in my little world?" Thousand Hands asked, still unwilling to give up. Number Six seemed to roll his eyes at Thousand Hands and said irritably, "Impossible. Unless you want that world to become the Book World, a world where there are only books and nothing else."

"In that case, let's forget about it," Senju thought helplessly. He would never agree to such a change. Looking at all these books, he was still somewhat unwilling to give up. "But is there no other way?"

“There is a way. You can take over this city, and then I can transform the entire city into a spaceship. Then, the various facilities in the city will become corresponding factories and facilities, and this place will also become the library inside the spaceship,” Number Six’s words gave Thousand Hands a huge surprise.

"Really? Can it be modified at any time?" Senju asked. The whole city turning into a spaceship, that's really amazing.

“However, there are two problems,” Number Six poured cold water on Thousand Hands. “The first is the issue of mystery. You must find enough ingredients to make it.”

"Mystery?" Senju asked, puzzled. "Does it refer to magic, immortals, or similar items? How could that possibly be here?"

“Yes, there are. Originally, the six of us sisters were supposed to correspond to six goddesses, but in the end we still failed,” Number Six said calmly. “There used to be gods on Earth, but they disappeared a long time ago, so people back then wanted to create new gods to use.”

"Is that so? But those things don't exist on Earth anymore." After hearing this, Senju found his reaction to be quite indifferent. After all, there were no gods or demons on Earth like this, and even if there had been, they would have long since disappeared.

"Well, we can't find that one, but we can use rare alien items, the crystallization of human civilization, or items from other dimensions as substitutes," Number Six's voice seemed to have become mysterious, completely different from the usual Number Six. However, Thousand Hands seemed to be bewildered and did not notice anything unusual.

“It doesn’t seem like anything reliable, but it’s the crystallization of human civilization,” Senju thought of the art museums he had seen, but Number Six immediately poured cold water on his idea, “Those are impossible, they’re all fakes, and the so-called crystallization is something even more mysterious.”

"Well, so that means there aren't any matching ingredients right now," Senju thought to himself. Something so simple had suddenly become complicated. "So what's the second question?"

"The second question is simple: when you shrink the city, the surface buildings on each layer of the city will be used as raw materials to replenish it."

"Let's get into the city," Number Six said casually.

"I see," Senju breathed a sigh of relief, then suddenly thought of a question, "What about the people up there?"

“Of course it’s still in the same place,” Number Six said calmly. Thousand Hands looked puzzled. “Still in the same place?”

"Yes, for example, if you are here and everything around you disappears, your position remains unchanged."

"Isn't that in the sky? If there are still humans living there, they're all doomed," Senju thought helplessly. "I just wanted to collect books, and I've caused such a huge mess."

"There's no way around it, after all, ordinary methods are useless," as Senju's mind wandered, Number Six's voice slowly faded away.

After thinking for a while, Senju stopped thinking about it. He figured he would find a way later. He turned his attention outside and noticed that Chito was slowly picking out books from a bookshelf, with a stack of books next to him.

Yuri, who was watching from the side, asked, "Hey, are there any books here that I can read?"

"No, I don't think so," Chito continued picking through the books, putting a stack into his bundle before continuing his search. Yuri, standing beside him with a puffed-up face, looked sullen.

“There should be books here that Yuri would understand, like picture books, books that are all pictures,” Senju interjected. He was also looking at the books that Chito had placed aside, and then he realized that he was only slightly better off than Yuri, because most of the books here were written in a language he didn’t recognize.

"Oh, really?" Yuri was pleasantly surprised, and then started flipping through the books. However, after searching for a while, she found that they were all books with text. Bored, she started flipping through the books that Chito had found. "Are there any differences between these books?"

“Of course,” Chito replied while flipping through the bookshelf. “The books here can be roughly divided into two categories: books with research results and books written from mere speculation.”

“But no matter what kind of book it is, it’s all proof of human survival and thought,” Chito said, looking at a book she had found. The characters on it were in a font she recognized. She put the book aside as well. “Grandpa was always making things that used to be called libraries, which were filled with many books.”

“Maybe this is what they call a library,” Yuri, who was sitting there reading, remarked. She looked around; there were plenty of books here.

“Maybe,” Chito sighed, then looked around and found that he had found all the books he recognized. “Let’s try to go up a little further.”

“This place could be considered a library,” Senju said from the side, “but it’s not enough to just have books; you also need readers.”

“I see. It feels so sad to leave these books here unread.” As Chito spoke, the elevator rose for a while and then stopped again. Chito found a few books with Chinese characters on the side and began to read them.
