Day by day in the infinite game

The library is worthy of being "in disrepair". It is dimly lit, and the ceiling in the corners is scattered with swaying spider webs. The air exudes a musty smell that has not been ventilated for a long time, and the wooden floor makes a harsh "creep" sound when you step on it.

The books on the bookshelf look fine, but there is dust on the surface.

Tang Qinqin handed the card in his hand to Meng Ru: "Since you have chosen to cooperate, at least you can't let them hold you back." His tone was serious.

"..." Mengru, who was a little speechless here, didn't say anything and handed the card to Song Yuanze, "Let's learn about the rules of the game."

Holding the card in his hand, Song Yuanze showed a rare expression of surprise and glanced in the direction of Tang Qinqin. "To be honest, our mission in this game is to find this special card and clear the level."

"...It's a coincidence that this isn't..."

"It's fate." Lan Lan secretly glanced at Tang Qinqin.

"Does it matter that you didn't find this card?" Mengru thought for a moment and asked.

"Just enter the dungeon game and pass the level." Song Yuanze said in a relaxed tone.

"It's a pleasure to work with you."

The task of the game is to protect the books from damage. In the library, the damage that will be suffered should be insect infestation? The books are in disrepair and become moldy? Tang Qinqin pondered all the way and looked at the entire library.

[Players, please note that book guardianship has officially begun!]

A slight rustling sound came from far away, and everyone looked around vigilantly, but could not see anything.

"Hey! Hey, you scared me to death!" A player in Song Yuanze's team screamed. On the bookshelf in front of him, spider legs as long as the palm of an adult man's hand were protruded, shaking slightly.

When several people saw this, they couldn't help but be startled, their bodies felt hairy.

"This spider can't become a spirit, can it? It's so big! That's what the king crab is like!"

"Have you encountered the dungeon boss?"

Tang Qinqin always felt that the spider was not the target of this mission. She looked at the spider lying on the bookshelf, its mouth seemed to be moving. The spider also changed its appetite and started eating books? Is it a game setting?

Strange rustling sounds were still heard in every corner. Tang Qinqin came back to his senses and quickly ran to the bookshelf next to him, looking at the books in front of him.

Mengru and Song Yuanze looked at her movements and seemed to remember something, so they immediately checked nearby.

Sure enough, not long after, Tang Qinqin saw that the cover of a book near the corner of the bookshelf was damaged. The damage was even expanding visibly to the naked eye. If he looked carefully, hey, a palm-sized white insect was causing trouble to the book!

"What the hell are you? You're a bookworm, you're very diligent." Someone still had the guts to tease.

"No, why is the serious bookworm so big! It's still chewing the pages!"

"This should be a common silverfish in the library library, a kind of bookworm that likes to eat books, but it is not usually this big." Song Yuanze said.

"We can't let them continue to cause harm to the books! Let's find a way quickly!" Tang Qinqin said, opening all the windows nearby to ventilate the book.

If you are a bookworm who is specifically interested in books, drying them in the sun is actually more effective and effective because this bug likes moisture. But there are so many books in the library, and even if there is room to dry them, they will not be able to finish them in a short time. What’s more,

This insect is larger and eats faster.

Everyone spread out and tried to take charge of one area. They picked up the tools at hand and hurriedly drove away the bookworm. If they were not afraid of hitting the book and damaging it, they would not be so restrained.

However, there are more and more bookworms, and these bugs jump quickly and react quickly. It is almost difficult for objects in their hands to touch them, let alone cause damage. Now they only eat the cover and do not damage the content, but as of this

It's just a matter of time before it goes down.

Everyone hurriedly chased away the large bookworms that kept pouring onto the bookshelves.

But even if a dozen people tried their best to drive them away with the things in their hands, it was still a drop in the bucket in the face of the huge army of bookworms, and it was of no avail.

[Ding! Book damage is 1%!]

[Ding! Book damage is 2%!]

[Ding! Book damage is 3%!]

The cruel announcement of the game rang in everyone's ears. At the same time, everyone's physical strength was -2, -4, -6...

Tang Qinqin was a little anxious when she saw the physical strength being wiped away. This dungeon was more difficult than she had ever imagined.

[Ding! Book damage is 7%!]

Tang Qinqin waved his hands numbly, his arms were sore, and he gradually lost strength. He gritted his teeth and persisted solely on his will.

She always felt that she had overlooked something.

What was overlooked?

In a library that has been in disrepair and has been deserted all year round, the only thing that probably still lives in it is the spider we just saw, but it is still alive and well, indicating that there is no shortage of food.

So, what does it eat? Does it have something to do with the fact that the books were well preserved before?

"I have a method. Do you want to try it?" Meng Ru suddenly said, "I remember reading in a book that turning the book can drive away such bookworms. Should we try it?"

"Try it, it won't be worse than now." someone shouted.

This bug is not very interested in people, but there are too many of them, and they are enlarged versions, which make your skin crawl.

Everyone immediately pulled out a book from the bookcase full of bookworms in front of them, and opened the pages at a speed that could not be matched by a horse. "Hey, it works. This bug really doesn't like the sound of turning pages."

!”

Players who saw hope worked hard to flip through the books one by one, trying their best to rescue the books from the bookworms.

The book damage and physical consumption have finally stabilized, but the bookworms have not been eliminated. Do we have to keep doing this until the books are officially moved tomorrow?

Tang Qinqin now came to the place where she saw the big spider when she first came in. It was staying on its own web at the moment, with its legs curled up as if it were resting. And she also keenly discovered that there was not a single silverfish near here, and the books here were...

It is also basically well preserved.

This should indicate that spiders are one of the natural enemies of bookworms and silverfish.

Tang Qinqin tried his best to suppress the fear from the bottom of his heart towards the huge spider, and gently placed the bug in his hand carefully on the spider's web.

It's very similar to feeding cat strips to a cat, except this is a ferocious tiger.

As soon as the big spider felt the vibration of the spider web, it quickly stretched out its legs and assumed an attacking posture.

Tang Qinqin, who was watching the spider feasting, had goose bumps one after another and dared not move. Look at the fine hair on the spider's legs, look at its bright black eyes, and look at how stupid and bold I am!

[Congratulations to player Tang Yuanwai for achieving the conditions for early clearance! 】

Therefore, read more and flip through more books, which will really drive away the insects!
