Lex, who was about to leave, turned back.

"Where is the Voltaic Library," he asks.

"Go that way and follow the signs," says the woman pointing towards a long corridor.

"But before you go, I must tell you some rules about the Voltiac Library. Books are taken out by your identification card and you can only take books that you have the clearance for, and you are only F-rank. Books must stay within the library and no damage to them is permitted and will be punished," she states.

Without replying, Lex heads towards the library through the long corridor she pointed towards. Looking down the long corridor he could see a large door similar to the one he entered and he could see long rows of bookshelves.

Walking down the long corridor and entering the Library, Lex could see enormous bookshelves filled with books and were 10 metres long. There were about 10 of them, and Lex estimated that there were tens of thousands of books in this Outer Country base.

[If there are so many books in an outer country base, what will there be in a core country base] he thought to himself in awe.

[System is it possible for you to store all the information and somehow transfer it to me like a cultivation method] asks Lex, hoping there was a way for him to easily acquire all the knowledge there was there.

{Ding, that is possible but will require system points to fuel the process of integrating any of the knowledge and information the system collects from the surroundings} the system informs him.

[Amazing, what do I need to do] immediately asks Lex excited to be able to instantly gain knowledge.

{Ding, the process needs system points}

[How much would it cost] he asks, wanting to relieve his thirst for knowledge.

{Ding, for all the books within this library it will cost 11,342} calculates the system.

[What so many] screams Lex within his mind in shock.

{Ding, host currently has 1990 points, 2000 were gained from the sub mission, and you spent 10 points on a Mortal Recovery Pill} announces the system.

[How many books would that allow me to learn] asks Lex hoping to have achieved anything in the day.

{Ding, depending on the book size, approximately it would cost 1 system point for each book as it isn't much information and doesn't have much profoundness. However, if your mind can handle all the information is another factor that you must think about} tells him the system.

"hmmmm, if that's the case and I shouldn't overload my mind, for today I want to absorb the knowledge about beasts of a dog and wolf-like nature," mumbles the slim figure in white robes who stood at the entrance of the library.

Looking around, he realised that the librarian and a few others within the library were looking at him weirdly.

Lex with his face covered had an embarrassed expression as he walked towards an empty table and took a seat.

{Ding, after scanning the area 18 books match the description you have provided the system and will cost 20 points for the knowledge and information to be implanted within your mind} announces the system.

[Do it] states Lex without hesitation.

{Ding, 20 points have been spent and the information will now enter your mind}

As this resounded through his mind, Lex felt an incredible amount of information in the form of pages of writing and images stream into his mind.

Lex was both in pain and had a satisfying feeling of gaining knowledge.

Pages and pages of information about Canidae, which are dogs, wolves, foxes, and other similar kinds of beasts. Their anatomy, habits, strengths, weaknesses, everything else that is known about them was within the books.

After almost 4 hours of squirming in his chair, while he digested all the information and he received dirty and baffled looks from those passing by, he finally felt that the pain was beginning to subside as the information was mostly absorbed.

Lex felt enlightened about the type of beasts he was hunting that were in the slums.

[Their tendencies as intelligent beasts that stick together is to form a den where they all stay and as carnivores would go out to hunt and bring back food to the den to share and feed the young and babies] thought Lex to himself.

[There are three types of dens and there are not many places a den would go unrecognised in the slums is unless it is underground. They must also be planning to take over the slums from the way they are becoming less and less secretive and attacking more openly] assumes Lex.

Lex felt that there was nothing to wait for and knew that the longer he took to exterminate the problem the stronger they would become and the harder it would be to deal with them.

[System how long has it been] he asks as he didn't know how much time past in the painful state he was in that felt like an eternity.

{Ding, it almost past 4 hours and it is almost sunset at the moment} the system states to him.

Jumping up, which shocked the librarian who had been watching him writhe in pain for the past few hours, Lex heads towards the exit.

"Enjoyed your time within the library reading the F-Rank books," says the woman at the front.

Lex once again ignored her and continued out of the base.

[F-Rank book, ha, with the system I can in place any knowledge or information that it has scanned into my mind as long as it is in the surroundings and the system can scan it] thought Lex gloatingly.

{Ding, hosts ability to digest information has improved slightly and will continue to improve the more as you absorb more knowledge through the system as your mind adapts to it}

Walking out of the base and looking up at the sky with the setting sun he felt that his future was aligning before him as he went with the flow of fate and life.

[Time to find and hunt these pesky Canidae beasts]
