Pet King

A few regulars who have been in the library all day are very familiar with the layout and structure of the library. Soon they returned to the fifth floor, holding the same book with a different cover in their hands-Douglas Adams' Guide to the Galaxy Walk. The third part of "Life, the Universe, and Everything" includes both Chinese and English versions, as well as versions in other languages. The year of publication is also different.

Zhang Zi'an also read this classic science fiction novel, but never knew that there were so many versions of this book ...

They found a free table, arranged the books together, and covered the entire table, looking magnificent.

Some other readers didn't know what they were doing, and they cast their eyes on inquiry.

They returned to their seats and started typing in English.

[]: We have found the book you want, and put it on the table on the first floor on the fifth floor. All versions are available.

All insiders, including Zhang Zi'an, looked at the table full of books, waiting for what would happen. Especially Zhang Zi'an, although he thinks that the answer will not be so simple, but he is also worried that one of the books suddenly disappears in the eyes of the public, etc., then it will become a spiritual event and cause a sensation ...

Time passed by every minute, and the air in the library was almost asphyxiating. The readers on the entire fifth floor were sitting in place. No one stood up, and of course there were no spiritual events like books disappearing out of thin air.

[3.1415926]: This is not my book.

Effortlessly recognized the English language that was mixed in a series of pi, and several regular customers I knew were a little tight, and felt that they might be tricked, and almost vomited blood! If they find it wrong, that's okay, they can find it again, but they are obviously looking for the right, but the other party does not confess the account ... Isn't this a trick?

[]: But isn't this the book you want? Life, the Universe, and Everything, or which specific version do you want? I heard that some people are very picky about publishing houses ...

[3.1415926]: My book has no name.

[Daishuabi]: Your book has no name. Is it about life, the universe, and everything?

[3.1415926]: Yes, can you find my book?

[Jaw Crow]: Sorry, we don't help, find yourself!

[Pancake fruit]: Yeah, there must be a limit to playing with others, wanton consumption of the goodwill of others, you will make people chill.

[]: Don't be discouraged! Try again!

[蓝 花花]: hmmmm, I'm not familiar with science fiction, but I want to move the bench to watch the fun.

Some of them speak in Chinese and some speak in English, with indignation and teasing in their words. Zhang Zi'an waited for their words to come to an end and continued typing.

[Daishuabi]: I forgot to ask before, you said that you were looking for your book. Can I understand that this book is not a book provided by the library, but brought by you?

[3.1415926]: Yes, it is a book that appeared with me in this world.

[Daishuabi]: The last question, this book is about life, the universe and everything, does it mean that the content of the book is very complicated?

[3.1415926]: Yes, can you find my book?

Zhang Zi'an understands that this book and this elf are probably in a symbiotic state and are interdependent. This elf currently exists incompletely in this world, so there is no form. You must get this book to become a complete body.

At the same time, he also understood why the difficulty of capturing was extremely high-his task was to find an all-encompassing book from the more than two million books in the library!

So is a haystack?

And this Nima is a time-limited mission!

Cheating!

The conversation between Zhang Zi'an and the elves was totally inexplicable to others. The library was not allowed to bring in bags or bring in their own books. This dialogue was illogical.

The elf really was asking for help, asking others for help in order to survive.

Zhang Zi'an entered the game's electronic map interface again and took a look. The light group representing the location of the elves was already very dim, and it could dissipate at any time like the mist before the rising sun.

[Daishubi]: I don't know if I can find it, but I will try my best.

[3.1415926]: Thank you.

Zhang Zi'an pushed up his chair, stood up, walked lightly, and lowered his voice and asked, "Do you really want such an inexplicable book?"

"I must find it," Zhang Zi'an answered.

He didn't have time to explain more. Even covering up was a waste of time. He waved his hand down the stairs and left alone in the wind, while other readers were talking in the chat room, waiting to see the end of the farce.

Zhang Zi'an came to the fourth floor and slowed down at the stairs.

Although he uttered rhetoric, but how to find it, he had no idea at all.

I don't know the size, thickness, layout, style, content, and classification of the book. How can I find it?

But he had a guess-that book appeared in the world with the elves, that is, it was a book summoned from the sky by the Pet Hunter game. Like the sprites to be captured, ordinary people can't see this book, but they can see it through the game capture interface!

The situation on the fourth floor is slightly better, because all the books and magazines are placed on the bookshelf. If a book is actually placed on a bookshelf, it is still easy to see.

He searched on the fourth floor and found none. There were no books on any bookshelf. If he could find this task on the fourth floor, it would not be very difficult.

Zhang Zi'an went down to the third floor, and from now on, he seemed to enter **** mode.

He looked helplessly at the bookshelves in the foreign language reading area on the third floor, which meant that he had to carefully filter the bookshelves one by one, because the book might appear on any of the bookshelves. There are six levels above and below each shelf, and this book may appear on any level. There are dozens or hundreds of books arranged on each shelf, and this book may be jammed between any two books.

To find this book, he must hold a mobile phone at an area of ​​the bookshelf, observe it through the game capture interface, and then look at it with the naked eye, then compare the two to find out that it is invisible to the naked eye but can be seen through the game capture interface. That superfluous book—find it out of more than two million books, and find a specific stone from Shushan, how difficult is it?

Even if Shushan has a road trip, it takes time to reach the summit!

What Zhang Zi'an lacks now is time!

Too close to the bookshelf, the range of the mobile phone camera can be limited at a time, too far away from the bookshelf and easy to overlook ... He tried several times, and found that standing at a moderate distance is the best, so that the first to sixth layers of the bookshelf fill the screen The entire vertical space is then scanned layer by layer with the eyes.

The horizontal length of the bookshelf is very long. On average, each bookcase Zhang Zi'an has to repeat the comparison a dozen times-the bookshelf is two-sided, and the sum of the number of front and back.

In order to avoid oversight, it takes at least twenty seconds for each comparison. The focal length of the eyeball is repeatedly switched between the mobile phone screen at a short distance and the bookshelf at a long distance ...

The densely arranged books on the bookshelf are dazzling in color, green, yellow, black, white, red ... all mixed together, like a big dyeing tank, especially these books are still the names of foreign books, and those twists on the spine If you look at it for a long time, it will be easy to feel sick.

After reading the front of each bookshelf, go around and look at the opposite side. It didn't take long for Zhang Zi'an to be dizzy, nauseous and nauseous, even though he insisted on clenching his teeth.

However, seeing the hundreds of bookshelves remaining on the third floor, and only a few more bookshelves on the second floor, he knew very well that, unless he was out of luck, he would never find the book before the elf disappeared.

Holding the mobile phone in the same posture and the same height for a long time, his arms are already sore. After he has trained a pair of Kirin arms with Lao Cha, if he is replaced with a weak body, he will have spasms in less than a few minutes.

When he came down from the fifth floor, he also brought the book "Modern Genetics: Anatomy from Genes to the Surface" and kept it under his armpit, pretending that ordinary readers were looking for books, but now his arms were sour Tired again, this book has become a burden, this forcing is meaningless.

So he emptied an open space on the bookshelf and shoved the book back.

"Director Zhang, are you still looking for a book?"

Zhang Zi'an kept the position of putting the book intact, and turned his head to look at it—Meng Li also stood next to him with two books, a leisurely look, and the woolen coat he had taken off had been put on again.

Meng Li noticed Zhang Zi'an's monograph on modern genetics in English, and was deeply surprised. The only doubts that had existed before had completely dissipated, thinking that he was really studying modern genetics with great concentration.

"Director Zhang, you have read all this thick monograph in English?" Meng Li asked politely.

Zhang Zi'an subconsciously pretended to force: "... Roughly turned it over, the content of this book is a bit shallow, can not satisfy my appetite, I want to find something deep."

Meng Li smiled: "No matter how deep I am, I can only study the latest papers."

Zhang Zi'an didn't want to do more entanglement on this issue ~ www.readwn.com ~ Away from the topic: "Ms. Meng, are you looking for a book?"

"I've finished searching. These two books are about arithmetic ultrafiltration. They are mainly about the solution of the infinite element Diophantine equation." Meng Liyang raised the two books in his hand.

Zhang Zi smiled in an intelligible manner.

Meng Li looked at the sky: "It's almost noon, I'm going back to school. Manager Zhang, do you want to stay here for a while?"

Zhang Zi'an nodded: "Stay a while, I haven't found the book I'm looking for."

"Oh, it's also about modern genetics?" Meng Li asked politely.

"Uh ... isn't that about life, the universe and everything?" Zhang Zi'an said with a grin, and he was ready to be laughed at.

However, Meng Li did not laugh at him, but was slightly surprised, showing a rather surprised look, and asked: "Director Zhang's hobbies are so wide ... In addition to modern genetics, do you like studying mathematics?"
