Yan Duo felt it was a pity. When she saw the system announcement was divided into two parts, she knew that although this task was completed through exploration, it existed independently from the exploration itself. The system would separately judge the completion progress of the task. After the task was completed, it would definitely It is no longer possible to obtain small pumpkins through exploration.
Such a beautiful little pumpkin, Yan Duo couldn't help but want to keep it for himself. It would be nice not to eat it but keep it for decoration.
Unfortunately, knowing that this was just her delusion, Yan Duo sighed and chose to continue the adventure.
This time she chose the third option, which was to explore for 100 minutes. If the prediction was good, she should be able to get the remaining nine pumpkins after the expedition.
The strange thing is that the game countdown is displayed as 90 minutes, and only 90 points are deducted from the vitality value. Is it possible that I can only explore for 100 minutes a day?
After hanging up, the only remaining problem now is the task of ten books.
I really can't find so many unread books at home. Even if there are a few, they are all very thick tomes, such as "XXX Encyclopedia" and "Millions of Whys", which I can't finish in one day.
It seems that we can only look for it outside.
Yan Duo hesitated for a moment between borrowing it from a classmate's house or the library, and finally decided to go to the library.
Although it is not impossible to rent it at the rental bookstore in front of her home, she has spent a lot of money today. A few dollars are very valuable these days. The library is free after all.
I looked at the time and it was already past ten o'clock, and I didn't know when my parents would be back.
In order to come back before lunch, Yan Duo took the time to find his student ID card and library card, stuffed them into his bag along with the game console, then dressed neatly and went out with a parasol.
There are two municipal libraries in M city. The largest library is close to the city center and requires two trains to get there. There is also a small library called Haiyun Library, which is only a fifteen-minute drive from Yan Duo's home. Including the time waiting for the bus, it can be reached in twenty-five minutes at most. Yan Duo's library card belongs to Haiyun Library.
In about twenty minutes, Yan Duo arrived at the library. After checking her library card, Yan Duo walked lightly and went specifically to the comics area.
Haiyun Library only allows readers to take a maximum of two books home, so Yan Duo had to read at least seven books in the library. In order to save time, there is no choice in the type of book. It is mainly short and short.
A four-panel comic book with few words and a short length was most suitable. Yan Duo went straight to find a few four-panel comics and found an empty seat to sit down.
Because he was always in a "concentrated" state, Yan Duo read the book very quickly, turning the pages almost constantly. And since the "focus" state needs to be reactivated every five minutes, she estimated that it would take about seven minutes to finish reading a book. During this period, Yan Duo also checked the game and found that the mission progress was indeed increasing bit by bit.
You should be home by almost twelve o'clock.
There were not many people in the library, but most of them were focused on the books in front of them. Otherwise, Yan Duo's speed of flipping through books would have attracted others' attention.
Although no one noticed Yan Duo, a person sitting opposite Yan Duo caught Yan Duo's attention.
It was a man wearing glasses. He had an ordinary appearance. He was under 30 years old. His appearance was too sloppy, and his messy hair almost covered his glasses.
There was also a stack of comics and many picture albums in front of him. At this moment, he was flipping through the albums quickly and drawing randomly on a piece of white paper, mumbling to himself like crazy. .
Drawing and drawing... Yan Duo happened to raise his head and saw his pen gradually transfer from the white paper to the books in the library...
Yan Duo's eyes almost fell down.
At this moment, the bespectacled man opposite seemed to suddenly wake up, and then was dumbfounded... Then he quickly closed the album and looked around until his eyes met Yan Duo's surprised face.
"Uh...I'll go to the front desk in a minute and I, I, I...will compensate." The man with glasses stammered.
In fact, Yan Duo was only shocked for a moment. She felt that there was no need for this person to explain anything to her, so she continued to lower her head and read her book.
She had no doubt that if no one had seen it just now, the bespectacled man would have quietly put the book back on the shelf as if nothing had happened. Even if he does this now, Yan Duo can't always monitor him, so she really can't control what he wants to do with this book.
After a while, she heard a rustling sound, and the man with glasses got up and went to the front desk. Because of this special incident, Yan Duo couldn't help but pay more attention to him. She saw the bespectacled man glance at the back cover of the album on his way to the front desk, and then sigh.
When the bespectacled man came back, in addition to the picture album, he had an additional receipt in his hand.
When he sat down, he made a few gestures on the album, and then laughed to himself. At this time, he found Yan Duo looking at him, and smiled bitterly at Yan Duo: "It's really become his own, but he can't bear to doodle anymore."
Yan Duo couldn't help but laugh, and his liking for this person greatly increased.
She nodded and said, "Sometimes you can't help but make mistakes while busy." Then she glanced at the picture album with regret, "This picture album is not cheap."
Many people in this era don't know much about the value of this kind of color page album. The man with glasses was a little surprised: "Yeah, it's almost half of my monthly income."
The other party turned out to be an illustrator. The two chatted casually for a few words, and Yan Duo left the library holding two books.
Being able to concentrate to such an extent when painting is comparable to the concentration skill. Yan Duo, who is born with poor concentration, is a little envious of him.
******The dividing line going home******
I rushed home under the sun, and my parents were already home.
Yan Duo has gained more than ten years of experience and has a bright mind. As soon as he entered the house, he felt that the quietness in the house was a bit unusual.
Yan Duo didn't dare to say a word, changed her shoes lightly, and went to the kitchen to say hello to Yan Jianjun.
Yan Jianjun nodded without saying anything, and Yan Duo felt even more unsure.
When her parents were at home, Gu Liping mostly didn't cook. Now it's Yan Jianjun who is busy in the kitchen.
Gu Liping was gathering large and small bags of things in the bedroom, and she could see that she had achieved fruitful results throughout the morning.
Yan Duo pounced on her unceremoniously, flipping through the bags on the bed and asking, "What did you buy for me?"
"Go, go." Gu Liping stretched out her hand and rushed, "Don't let me crush you. I don't have your share. Who told you not to come with us?"
Yan Duo shamelessly looked through the pile of things as usual and asked, "Let me take a look at what you bought!"
A gift bag was opened, and five or six bottles and jars fell out of it and landed on the bed.
Yan Duo's eyes lit up, cosmetics! A big brand!
