Pokémon: An Encounter with You

Chapter 291 Borrowing Books

In fact, Shi Qiu also understood that even if he searched in the library of Kyoto University, the only information he could get about the spiritual world were the most basic popular science books.

More in-depth information is either in a family that specializes in attributes like Rong Yue’s, or collected in museums during various relic surveys.

"Shi Qiu?" Qi Qu seemed to say something again, but the young man was distracted and didn't pay attention.

From the looks of it, it's clear that they want to help Shi Qiu and see him off to the end.

Shi Qiu laughed dryly and responded quickly.

That’s good. It’s also good to have a classmate who is familiar with this place to help me.

"Can we just go in and pick out the books?" Shi Qiu asked.

Qi Qu nodded: "Register after you've chosen one."

Library, 4th floor, Area C.

Under Qi Qu's guidance, Shi Qiu browsed through the bookshelves, reading books related to ghost knowledge.

"Ghost energy cube baking method? I think it would be more useful if I just fed it with life energy..."

"Shadow Ball Profile Analysis... A detailed discussion of the continuous firing Shadow Ball. It seems to have both advantages and disadvantages..."

"The source of ghosts' restraint on ghosts... there is even a microscopic analysis of why ghosts can have double restraint on our own system?"

Unexpectedly, this knowledge is worth reading, but it is not quite the same as what Shi Qiu is looking for.

"Monitor, can you help me find some books about the spirit world?"

More than ten minutes later, Shi Qiu took the initiative to ask after noticing Qi Qu's surprise that he hadn't picked up a book for such a long time.

"You want a research journal?" Qi Qu looked strange.

Naturally, she also discovered that her previous guess was wrong, and Shi Qiu did not seem to come here to train that Zoroark.

"Then come with me. These books are in the magazine and periodical section."

…………

…………

"Haven't you chosen yet?" Squad leader Qi Qu was almost in despair.

She had been staying in this place with Shi Qiu for three hours.

During this period, she not only did the initial searching, but later on she even helped Shi Qiu with the tasks of selecting, classifying, organizing, recording, etc., becoming a perfect tool person.

She also didn't understand why the young boy just smiled at her twice and she continued to work in a daze.

After Qi Qu cursed himself for being a face-chaser in his heart, he worked hard to help Shi Qiu complete the registration.

"Okay, just take this." Shi Qiu said finally.

Making full use of these few hours, Shi Qiu visited almost all the ghost attribute areas here.

Including subsequent journal articles, they were also searched and found.

Then he found that the trip was worthwhile.

Many of the information in the illustrated books that is only briefly mentioned in a sentence or two on the Internet are analyzed and explained in more depth here.

For example, for the Candlelight Spirits, the illustrated book only describes their basic information and warns of their dangers.

However, in the detailed explanation of ghosts and elves found in the Kyoto University Library, the explanation of candlelight spirits was much more in-depth, and it was made clear that the level of their flame burning belonged to two levels of burning in the world.

One is the flame combustion reaction we see in the physical world, which requires combustible materials and oxygen, etc.

The other one also has a flame belonging to the spiritual world, representing the gathering of ghostly energies.

......

Regarding the spiritual world, a magazine once mentioned it when explaining the "reverse world".

The first is to clarify a misunderstanding in public perception.

The spiritual world is not actually the reverse world.

The reverse world is the back of the world, and it is also the place of exile of the legendary shadow of the God of Creation - Pluto Dragon Knight Latina.

It cannot be said that it has nothing to do with the spiritual world, but it can be said that they are completely different.

"Which one of these should you choose? I think you should choose the one with detailed explanation?" Qi Qu asked.

"It just so happens that it not only contains some information about the spirit world, but also various ghost-type spirits... well, it also mentions how to safely pass through the barriers of the spirit world to draw power."

Shi Qiu looked at the piles of books in front of him.

In addition, there is this book in my hand, "Travels in Purple Lake", which I just found from some unknown corner.

"There are more than a dozen books in total... I want them all."

He just took a quick glance at it just now. If he really wanted to find something, he would have to read it carefully from the details between the words and make reasonable inferences.

"Fuck, you want them all?"

Squad leader Qi Qu was a little stunned.

"Shi Qiu, you may not know if you have never borrowed a book, but these all require credits."

"......Of course I know this." The young man said speechlessly.

"A dozen books would mean at least hundreds of credits." Qi Qu had a headache and subconsciously dissuaded him.

It would be fine if they were seniors in their third and fourth years, but if you put yourself in their shoes, these freshmen who have just enrolled only have a small amount of "savings" after half a year. If they spend it all here, there will be problems.

By then, we probably won’t even be able to afford public training grounds, let alone some advanced training facilities.

"It's okay, it's okay. I still have a lot of credits." Shi Qiu said with a smile.

First of all, as a special admissions student, he came with a "start-up fund" specially donated by the school. In addition, he had been so restless in the first half of the year that his credits had accumulated to a considerable number.

Moreover, his daily Pokémon training was all done in the simulator, with move training capsules in his left hand and attribute gems in his right hand, so he had no chance to use credits.

Qi Qu: “……”

God knows how long she spent yesterday struggling with the gravity training room with one credit per hour.

…………

…………

The monitor accompanied Shi Qiu to select from hundreds of books and helped for such a long time, so Shi Qiu did not just leave after using his skills for free.

He originally wanted to treat Qi Qu to a meal, but as it was getting late, he simply paid a small amount of credits to express his gratitude.

Qi Qu didn't pretend to refuse and accepted it readily. Then they parted at the library entrance.

After returning home, Shi Qiu took out the "Journey to Purple Lake" that he had just read halfway, and continued to read it word by word.

In all the books about the spirit world in the library of Kyoto University, there is not a single word mentioning any "ancient castle" or "Western-style mansion".

Only this book, "Travels in Purple Lake", seems to have some connection with Linghai.

"The conditions for the formation of the Spirit Sea are extremely harsh... It greatly increases the power of Ghost-type Pokémon."

"...even a natural Ghost-type Pokémon eco-park."

"Ling Hai..." Shi Qiu pushed the silver-rimmed plain glasses on his face.

"Sometime later, let little Soraya go in and take a dip..."

With such great talent, don’t always be at the bottom.
