I am Lapland’s rat!

……

Soon, Dorothy took Wu Xian to the journal reading room on the second floor.

The reading room was very quiet. The rows of long tables were filled with people, and the tables were almost full of books. For a while, the only sound that could be heard was the rustling of pages.

On the other side of the long table was the journal bookshelf. Dorothy walked to the bookshelf with Wu Xian's handbag on her arm.

Of course, it was Wu Xian's first time here. He looked through the gap in the bag and saw that there were not many publications on the bookshelf labeled "Scientific Journals."

It's not that the library doesn't update in time, but that there are too many people borrowing it.

At this time, Dorothy reached out and wanted to take away the journal on the top of the bookshelf.

As a result, a hand stretched out from the other side, and the two hands stopped awkwardly in mid-air.

"Ah, you take it first." Girl Li Boli said.

"...Ah, no need, you better go first..."

Dorothy was stunned for a few seconds, and her expression was obviously shaken. It took her a while to realize what had happened, and she quickly gave way.

"I can read the others first." Girl Li Boli nodded to Dorothy in a friendly manner, and then walked straight to the other side of the bookshelf.

"...Phew. I thought I was discovered..."

Dorothy patted her chest in a low voice and said distressedly.

Wu Xian: "..."

……

After grabbing two or three scientific journals from the bookshelf, Dorothy wandered around the reading rooms for a while before she found a seat where she could put down her handbag.

"Okay, now I want to watch for a while..."

Dorothy's deliberately lowered voice came from outside the handbag, and Wu Xian stretched out his paw to scratch it, making a hole in the handbag.

"Hey, wait-"

Wu Xian looked out of the cave and saw that Dorothy's face was visibly rosy, her expression became very nervous, and she even felt like she wanted to cry.

"..."

Dorothy hurriedly blocked the hole in the handbag, looked around in panic, then hurriedly stood up with the handbag and gave up her seat to a film girl behind her.

……

Dorothy and Wu Xian's trip to the library ended before it even started.

After finally completing the borrowing procedures and arriving at a pet-friendly cafe outside the library, Dorothy finally relaxed.

Wu Xian jumped onto the table and blinked.

He noticed that the Zarak girl's iconic long ears were drooping a bit.

"Um..."

Gentle Dorothy is really not good at doing bad things.

Chapter 71 Have a cup of coffee

"Xiaoyin, let's not go to the library together next time."

Dorothy concluded with a somewhat disappointed look.

Wu Xian blinked and wagged his tail.

He didn't have any objections to this. If he couldn't go to the library, he could fish at home.

"Zhushu, I've always been indifferent."

As if she noticed Wu Xian's gentle accommodation with her, a smile appeared on Dorothy's face.

"Okay, Xiaoyin, let's order. What do you want to eat?"

Wu Xian blinked, quickly stretched out his paw, and pulled the menu over.

"Squirrel, I want a muffin!"

……

The lighting inside this cafe is relatively dim, giving people a sense of privacy and security.

There is a lazy white cloud beast on the bar not far away. The hair on its body is smooth and thick, hanging down in clumps like a sea.

At this time, the cloud beast was curiously looking at Wu Xian on the table in the corner.

However, it was a highly domesticated pet cloud beast. Even though it felt that the little animal might be its ancestor's dinner, it had no desire to stretch out its claws towards Wu Xian.

Wu Xian and Dorothy were sitting in the corner of the cafe. The film waiter brought Dorothy's order of waffles and a small plate.

Then the clerk was surprised to notice that Dorothy forked one of the muffins onto a small plate and placed it in front of the mole on the table.

The mole beast leaned down, keeping its beard from touching the butter, and began to eat it in small bites.

This strange scene made the film store clerk feel dazed and wanted to laugh, but since Dorothy didn't say anything, she was too embarrassed to ask.

But when she went back to play with the cloud beasts in the shop, she always felt that her pets were a little inferior to other people's pets.

……

Dorothy took a sip of the coffee next to her, then took out the journal she had borrowed from her handbag, put it on the table and opened the first page.

Of course she didn't forget the original purpose of going out this time.

It can be seen that the Zarak girl's expression has become serious.

Wu Xian blinked and noticed that the cover of this journal was a small piece of black translucent crystal mineral placed under a microscope.

"Is this journal about Originium applications?"

With this in mind, Wu Xian lowered his head and took two more bites of the muffin. The pastry chef in this cafe was very good at craftsmanship. The cake was soft and sweet, and paired with the slightly cold cream and sweet and sour berries to create just the right layering.

Wu Xian remembered one thing, and that was the "Rat Swarm-III" worth 200 bond points.

In fact, after he and Dorothy chatted all night that day, Wu Xian already understood that if Dorothy no longer met the requirements of a "powerful warlock", there would be few people in this land who could meet the prerequisites of the skill. .

After all, Dorothy is now a quasi-expert in the field of Originium Technique application. Maybe her combat ability is not strong, but her understanding of Originium Technique is probably no worse than Mr. Lin who is far away in Longmen.

And this is also true. After the order competition event ended, the prerequisites had been met, and Wu Xian successfully spent bond points to unlock the third-level rat swarm.

The effect of the third-level rat swarm is to "significantly" improve their understanding of Origin Stone skills, and through this ability, they can teach Source Stone skills to other rats.

However, according to Wu Xian's understanding of the Rat Swarm series skills, although it is said to be "substantial", it actually needs to be cultivated through communication with other rats and exposure to various knowledge.

Just like the first-level rat pack improves memory and text comprehension, it wasn't until Wu Xian returned from the Western District that he gradually mastered the knack of learning Syracuse;

The second-level rat swarm has improved its sensitivity to the surrounding environment. So far, apart from being able to actually feel whether a rat within his field of vision is hungry or not, and whether it wants to fight, Wu Xian really doesn't have any additional feelings.

But even so, this sensing ability is enough for him to distinguish a certain rat king among the rats after getting to know many rats, and order them individually through calls.

In other words, the effect of the Rat Swarm series of skills is actually to give Wu Xian a layer of talent soil. The more rats Wu Xian comes into contact with, the more fertile the soil will be. If you want to plant trees on it, it depends on Wu Xian’s ability. Subjective initiative.

As for Wu Xian, at least so far, he doesn't feel like he knows anything about Originium skills.

"...Perhaps this is why the system requires you to establish friendship with a Zalak warlock?"

After eating half of the muffin, Wu Xian pulled a napkin and wiped his mouth. Then he took small steps to walk to the journal Dorothy placed on the table and turned his attention to the contents of the journal.

Unsurprisingly, it was all written in dense Colombian, which he couldn't understand at all.

Although the letters used in Columbian have the same origin as the Syracusean language, their arrangement and sentence structure are very different. At least Wu Xian could only see it from a Syracusean perspective.

But it doesn't matter if he doesn't understand.

Sure enough, Dorothy, who was carefully reading the papers in the journal, noticed Wu Xian's actions, came back to her senses and said, "Xiao Yin, do you want something to eat?"

Wu Xian blinked and looked up at Dorothy.

"Ah, no...then are you interested in this paper...?" Dorothy hesitated for a while and asked tentatively.

Wu Xian wagged his tail.

"...Huh?!" Dorothy blinked with a cute expression.

She just had this feeling, but she guessed it right?

"Do you want me to explain it to you?"

Wu Xian continued to wag his tail.

Looking at the expectant look in the little guy's eyes, Dorothy had no reason to refuse?

She glanced at the paper in her hand, then looked at Wu Xian, and sorted out her words a little: "Then... let me tell you from the beginning?"

"Okay!" Wu Xian, squatting on the table, wagged his tail contentedly.

This is Colombia's treasure-level talent giving him a lecture!

Although Wu Xian doesn't like serious things like studying and exercising, he still has to decide who teaches him.

Well, he didn't complain about Lapland in his heart, absolutely not.

Dorothy had already turned the paper back to the first page: "Well... let me think about it, where should I start?"

"The title of this paper is "About a method of storing Originium technology in organic materials based on thermal conductivity." This is the cutting-edge field of Originium technology storage. Xiaoyin, do you understand the basic principles of Originium technology storage? ?”

"...Ah, I think so. It takes a bit long to explain this knowledge thoroughly, but I can briefly talk about the prerequisite knowledge required to understand this paper. If you are interested, I can give you some information later. You make up the class.”

……

She just lectured. Although Dorothy's tone was still very gentle, it was clear that she had fully entered the role of a teacher. Maybe she also taught her juniors in school.

Wu Xian shook his beard and looked at Dorothy, who looked at him seriously and her ears twitched from time to time.

He regretted it a little.

Chapter 72 Academician Shushu

Behind the bar, Nino, the film clerk at the "Red Forest" cafe, was rinsing glasses in front of the sink.

After washing the two glasses and putting them on the drying rack, the girl suddenly noticed that there seemed to be some regular and frustrated sounds coming from the corner of the store, mixed with many specialized sounds that were only used in academia. There are nouns.

"what?"

Nino wasn't too surprised by this. After all, the "Red Forest" cafe was close to the Tremont Municipal Library, and the cafe had a good atmosphere and was quiet enough. Many students who couldn't find a seat in the library didn't want to waste time. After a trip, I will find a coffee shop like "Hongsen" nearby to rest, read a book, do homework or discuss some issues.

Nino is actually a college student, studying at the School of Materials Science and Engineering at Tremont Polytechnic University.Because her hometown is far away from the city, her parents cannot give her enough financial support, so after coming to Tremont to study in college, she has been working and studying in this cafe.

Occasionally, when students in the store are discussing academic issues related to Nino's major, if Nino happens to be free, she will also interject with interest.

The academic atmosphere in Columbia is liberal, and more importantly, the elegant and generous owner of the "Red Forest" cafe agreed with the clerks.

"Are you talking about the first paper in the second edition of this month's Origin Stone?" Nino said to herself after listening for a while.

In this land, engineering is also closely related to the Origin Stone. Of course, her tutor also requires every student in the group to subscribe to this journal.

However, Nino has never been interested in the topic of storing Originium Skills. After all, there are so many types of Originium Skills in the world, and many Originium Skills have nothing in common with each other. She herself has no special talent, so naturally she is not willing to invest in it. Go to the bottomless pit-like scientific research direction of exhaustive exploration of materials + Origin Stone techniques.

Therefore, Nino only briefly read this paper and did not understand it in depth.

But since someone was talking in the coffee shop, Nino was willing to listen in and learn more.

After looking at the order, Nino scooped up some coffee beans from the recipe table, put them into the hand grinder, and started grinding the coffee powder manually.

"...Currently, there are several directions for storing Originium skills. Among them, the etching process and the use of energy-guiding circuits are relatively mature methods for storing complex Originium skills."

She heard the female customer in the restaurant introduce,

"However, the Source Stone technology that contains heat conduction in the spell component is unstable. When recording the Source Stone technology, the etching process and the energy-guiding circuit structure of the magic unit require a relatively stable external environment, so it is difficult to pass the above-mentioned method to store such spells."

"Although the conversion valves used in energy equipment such as power stations can partially ignore the problem of instability, they can only store relatively rough spells. When faced with sophisticated and complex Originium techniques, they will fail due to insufficient material load. Regulations bundle energy.”

Nino paused while grinding coffee.

"Ah, so that's it..." Nino thought.

In fact, she has never been able to understand why cars can directly obtain power through Originium Liquid, but also to create heat, the low-temperature slow-cooking equipment in the cafe cannot be driven by Originium, and must be connected to a power source!

It turns out there is also a material load issue.

Nino felt like she was being made up for.

Many professors will not talk about these small details in class, and they are only mentioned in textbooks, but they are sometimes an indispensable part to make logic coherent and knowledge into a system.
