Bop and his group were speechless as Dude disappeared and left a Golden Book no different in the levels of mystique and unfathomable Knowledge the other books had within the Thesarius, but the different thing about this book was that:
Well... it was new.
One common thing about all the books within the Thesarius was that they were set in number. Bop couldn't destroy nor create new books of the same caliber as the ones within the Thesarius. He just put aside the ones he didn't like (or understand) and... well, actually... he also put aside the ones he thought useful... (Bop's not very organized...)
And so it was new to Bop to see another book inside the Thesarius. But it wasn't because Bop memorized every book within the Thesarius, there are thousands of such books within the Thesarius, but since each and every one of the books was Legendary and Mystical in both their design and in the knowledge they hold, it would be quite hard to forget one, even if they were blurted out by the mystique of the other books surrounding it. This was why it was very hard to forget even one of the books within the Thesarius, even if you spared no effort in memorizing them.
And that was why the addition of even one book among countless others was quite a strange sight within the Thesarius.
Bop floated over to the Golden Book titled:
{For my bro balloon man: just made up the title on the spot, yeah~!}
And he opened it without much thought...
*Shwinngggg* A huge burst of light came out of the book as Bop read it and he fell unconscious...
Inside Bop's subconscious...
"Hey man~... I didn't have enough time to write a whole book so I inserted part of my consciousness into one instead...
...
Hahaha, you got me, you got me, I was just too lazy. Luckily since you're a clone you're much easier to hack, having mechanical parts and all, yeahhh... Uhh, what was I talking about again? Oh yeah, back to what I was saying. Since you lent me this book and all, I thought I'd help you control more of the Thesarius' powers, seeing you're its new owner and all that good stuff.
So... here ya go"
Another flash of light came and went as Bop floated unconscious within the Thesarius.
"-OP! BOP! Wake up Bop!" Beep and Meiyu were shaking him as his eyes slowly opened.
Bop looked around, astounded at the new sights he was having...
Strange lines, numbers, and patterns floated within his sight and a line of text could be read in front of him:
{Welcome to your new *$y$tem* my dude~ I've connected your senses to the Thesarius. It should be much easier to find and store data now... Enjoy~}
Bop stared at Meiyu intently and text floated in front of him specifying things about her:
{> Name: Meiyu XiaLiyu (Meili)
> Race: Very Fishy
> Likes: Noodles, Capitalist Money, Stealing from Bop, and Katanas
> Equipment:
- Clothes
- Katana}
"Hmm? Pfftttt! I knew it! I knew you were pretty fishy... So you're a 'Very Fishy' alien all along!" Bop shouted to himself, amused at the information about Meiyu...
"A very fishy alien? Huh? Of course, I am! I'm Yu Guai, we did come from the sea you know..." Meiyu felt confused at Bop's weird outburst of common sense...
"Huh? Yu Guai?" As Bop was still confused with Meiyu's words, the text in front of him changed.
{> Name: Meiyu XiaLiyu (Meili)
> Race: Yu Guai
> Likes: Noodles, Capitalist Money, Stealing from Bop, and Katanas
> Equipment:
- Clothes
- Katana}
"Huh?! I thought the Manual knew everything? Wait... maybe these texts aren't from the Manual, but from me instead?" Bop wondered as he asked Meiyu another question...
"Meiyu, do you like Katanas?" Bop asked, trying to test something out.
"Katanas? Oh you mean those curved swords the Orochi use? No, I don't..." Meiyu answered truthfully. But then she saw Bop staring at the sword she had been carrying all this time that looked like a Katana.
"This isn't a Katana by the way... It is a Yu Guai traditionalist sword called a Zhanmadao, used for cutting a meaty and organic tank-like mythical creature of the past called a Horse... My grandpa said that when these 'Horse' creatures charged, no one could stop them, so this sword was designed to deal a critical blow to the creature's head before it could stomp over you..." Meiyu proudly showed off her Zhanmadao.
"As you can see, my sword looks like a Katana but is much cruder and heavier... This sword was meant for decapitation!" Meiyu continued to geek over her sword... (She really likes her sword)
As Meiyu explained to Bop, her information screen began to change again:
{> Name: Meiyu XiaLiyu (Meili)
> Race: Yu Guai
> Likes: Noodles (?), Capitalist Money (?), Stealing from Bop, and Zhanmadaos
> Equipment:
- Clothes
- Zhanmadao (Horse Chopping Sabre)}
[Hmm, I wonder what happens when I do this] Bop thought as he concentrated on Meiyu's Race.
{> Race: Yu Guai
> Description: A very fishy race, likes Capitalist Money and noodles, may have used weird swords that look like Katanas
> Characteristics: Have fin-like ears, they have very beautiful women, but shrink and look like raisins when growing old}
"hmm, Meiyu, are all Yu Guai beautiful like you? And do Yu Guai shrink when they grow old?" Bop asked as if confirming something.
"H-H-Huh?! B-Beautiful? M-me?" Meiyu stuttered. Embarrassed by the sudden compliment.
"Yeah" Bop replied, not even looking back at Meiyu as he was too busy configuring his $y$tem.
"I think, they're pretty normal you know... And if your thinking of Grandpa when you talked about shrinking raisins... Grampa's just naturally short..." Meiyu answered back after she calmed herself down.
{> Race: Yu Guai
> Description: A very fishy race, likes Capitalist Money and noodles (?), may have used weird swords that look like Katanas
> Characteristics: Have fin-like ears, but other than that description, they look no different from Clones}
[So this information is based on what I know, or at least think, but not the truth, huh...] Bop thought to himself during a rare moment of self-realization...
[This $y$tem thing isn't very useful now is it?...] Bop thought, grumbling about the gift he got from the weird Dude-Wizard.
