Chapter 185: Special Challenge
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Are you sure it’s within a week?” Yuan Xiao asked, still unwilling to give up.
[That’s right, Host. If you can complete it in advance, there will be additional rewards.]
“Completing it in advance? Little 7, don’t tell me you think I’m a robot like you?” Yuan Xiao regretted accepting the mission. No wonder it was called a special challenge mission. The mission was indeed challenging.
[Although the host is not a robot, you have a photographic memory. As long as you work harder, there’s still a 50% chance of completing it.]
Yuan Xiao nodded in resignation. What was the difference between mentioning a 50% chance and not saying anything at all?
“I’d better go to the library to get a borrowing card first.” Before the library closed, Yuan Xiao decided to take a taxi to get a borrowing card. In the next week, she would probably have to read even when she went to the bathroom.
When she arrived at the library, it was almost dark. Yuan Xiao applied for a loan card as quickly as possible. When she reached the third floor, Yuan Xiao was almost stunned by the scene in front of her.
The entire room was filled with science books, and there were more than 20 bookshelves. There were postgraduate textbooks with extremely advanced professional knowledge, and there were also basic popular textbooks. In any case, the only similarity was that the books were very heavy.
Yuan Xiao turned to look at the large backpack she had specially prepared and still felt that it was too small. She took more than 10 books in one go and went to the front desk to register.
“Why didn’t you get some friends to come together? Can you carry it alone?” The librarian at the front desk looked at Yuan Xiao sympathetically as she registered Yuan Xiao’s books. This was because recently, many university students who were writing the thesis had come to borrow books. She thought that Yuan Xiao was bullied by her study group members to borrow books.
“I can do it. Thank you.” Yuan Xiao did not explain much. If she said that she planned to read these books alone, others would definitely not believe her.
Yuan Xiao walked out of the library with difficulty and truly experienced what people meant when they said knowledge was weight. The stairs in the library were still relatively long, and Yuan Xiao felt that every step was very difficult.
Suddenly, she saw a taxi parked across the road. Yuan Xiao was a little anxious. It was getting late and she was still carrying such a heavy thing. Yuan Xiao wanted to get a taxi home as soon as possible.
She tried her best to speed up, but because the books in her backpack were really too heavy, Yuan Xiao lost her balance for a moment and was about to fall down the stairs.
Just as Yuan Xiao felt that her ankle was about to bend at an abnormal angle, she was suddenly grabbed forcefully. However, it was obvious that the person had not thought that Yuan Xiao would be so heavy and was also dragged down to the ground.
Yuan Xiao fell heavily. She felt that her back was weighed down by the books, but she was not injured on her front.
“Ah! Are you alright?” Only then did Yuan Xiao realize that the reason why she was not injured was because she was pressed against someone. She stood up apologetically, but she was dragged to the ground by her backpack.
The man who was pressed down by her slowly sat up from the ground and gently rubbed his aching chest. He smiled and said to Yuan Xiao, “Is there a rock in your bag?”
“Si Cheng?” Yuan Xiao saw the man in front of her and blurt out his name again. It seemed that she could not escape the plot of the original book. She would always meet him when she was down and out.
“Yuan Xiao, I remember your name too.” Si Cheng stood up from the ground and walked over to extend his right hand to Yuan Xiao, wanting to pull her up.
Yuan Xiao did not pull Si Cheng’s hand. Instead, she said, “Can I trouble you to help me pick up my backpack first?”
Si Cheng retracted his right hand and walked behind Yuan Xiao to help her lift her backpack.
“Where do you want to go? I’ll send you.” Si Cheng could not bear to hand Yuan Xiao the rock-heavy bag in his hand. He had no intention of handing Yuan Xiao the bag.
“I’ll take a taxi myself. Thank you so much.” Yuan Xiao was afraid that spending too much time with Si Cheng would trigger the plot of her previous life, so she planned to try her best to keep a distance from him.
“Let’s go. I’m not a bad person. I just want to help you.” Si Cheng’s attitude was very sincere. Before Yuan Xiao could reply, he carried her backpack and walked across the road.
Yuan Xiao did not see a taxi for a moment, so she could only follow Si Cheng and get into the car.
Seeing Si Cheng’s hand holding the steering wheel, Yuan Xiao realized that the back of Si Cheng’s hand had been scratched quite a bit because of her fall.
“You’re injured. I’ll go buy disinfectant and band-aids.” After saying that, Yuan Xiao wanted to get out of the car and go to the pharmacy across the road, but she was stopped by Si Cheng..
