The second thing after having fun is to go take a look at the cabin in front of you.

The black altar gave him a powerful soul eye, so this building should have some use.

Rod walked up the steps into the hut.

The room was empty, except for a stone platform in the front and a bookshelf on the left.

The stone platform was filled with tools, and cupboards of various sizes were open or closed, making it look very messy.

The bookshelf was empty except for one book.

Rhodes came to the stone platform first.

The stone platform was very large, occupying the entire top of the hut, but strangely, he could not move all the tools and cupboards on it, as if they were fixed.

After studying for a long time, Rhodes had no clue, so he could only turn to the bookshelf and take down the only book on it.

The book is so big that you have to hold it with both hands to pick it up. Its dark purple hard shell is engraved with strange patterns. The text seems to be composed of stars, which makes the whole book full of epic feeling.

Rhodes tried hard to understand its meaning.

"Intelligence, sum, lack, something recorded..."

This was a standard dream text, written in an artistic way, which greatly made it difficult for him to identify it.

"Know...the Book of Mental Retardation?"

boom!

Rhodes was about to open the big book to see what kind of mental retardation method there was, when the big book suddenly closed, hit his hand hard, and fell to the ground.

"Ouch! What the hell is this!"

Rhodes was startled and almost drew his gun and shot, but Dashu lay quietly on the ground and did not make a move.

How is this going? Are there springs in the book?

Rhodes stretched out his red right hand and touched it lightly.

no response.

Touched again.

Rhodes could clearly see that the big book moved outward on his own, as if he disliked him very much.

Is this book alive?

"Hey, can you hear me?" Rhodes asked carefully.

But the book didn't respond.

Rhodes asked several more times, but received no answer.

He approached carefully and saw the words on the cover of the book shining brightly, as if reminding him of something.

Rhodes frowned and looked at it for a long time, and finally realized it.

"The Book of Knowledge!"

After the words fell, the text returned to its normal appearance. The light was faint, revealing a sense of cold alienation, like a proud queen.

Rhodes was a little dumbfounded, what the hell is this? Aren't you a book? I just mispronounced the name. Even if I called Lily Weiwei, there was no need to do this?

Rhodes carefully picked up the big book. There was nothing unusual about it this time, but after opening it, every page inside was blank.

A wordless heavenly book?

Or what conditions need to be met before the content can be displayed?

Rhodes searched over and over for a long time, but couldn't find any clues.

He felt very scratched and said to himself: "How on earth can I use it?"

The next moment, Rhodes suddenly saw two words appearing on the blank page.

【Question】

The handwriting is thin, slightly sloppy, and seems a little impatient.

Rhodes' eyes widened instantly.

Question?

That means I can just ask a question and it will answer my name in words on the page?

This is a big treasure!

A strong joy emerged from the bottom of my heart. With the help of such a treasure, wouldn't it be equivalent to getting a portable version of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix?

Hahaha, takeoff is just around the corner.

I am indeed the destined child!

Rhodes cleared his throat and decided to start with the questions around him.

"How should this stone platform be used?"

A line of text quickly appeared on the page.

"Light... uh, the burning tears on the stone platform?"

Rhodes raised his head and immediately saw the three-pronged metal candlestick placed on the left side of the stone platform. There were three candles of different lengths inserted in the candlestick.

Rhodes understood instantly: "Oh, this word means candle. Can you light the candle to activate the stone platform?"

"How to light it?"

【Add phlogiston】

Rhodes breathed a sigh of relief. He thought he was going to add his soul to it.

If it were just phlogiston, it would be very simple. The most common commodity in the royal city was phlogiston.

Rhodes did not go to find phlogiston immediately, but continued to ask:

"Who is the murderer of all members of the Hongshi Village relocation team? Where is he? Where is the irrefutable evidence to prove this matter?"

[Please ask knowledge-related questions. 】

Rhodes was slightly disappointed. This was not the omniscient book of God, but a book of knowledge with automatic indexing function.

But that's enough.

What he lacks most now is knowledge, especially knowledge in dreams.

There are too many unknowns in the dream. If he could figure them all out, his growth rate would be greatly increased, his safety guarantee would be greatly enhanced, and his date of world domination would be greatly advanced.

Thinking of this, Rhodes immediately asked the question he was most concerned about now:

"How do the stars in the obelisk light up?"

The Book of Knowledge lived up to expectations, and a large new paragraph of text soon appeared on the page.

Fortunately, in order to facilitate the study of dreams, Rhodes brought books such as "The Ancient Language" into the dream world.

Rhodes now has a certain foundation and can barely understand it by referring to the book.

[Ligning a new soul star requires enough firewood, a lot of spirituality, and a complete special soul]

Rhodes was moved in his heart and continued to ask: "What does a special soul mean?"

[The soul that possesses the source]

“What is spirituality?”

[The element that makes up the spirit, only the human soul has a large amount of living spirit. 】

"What does firewood mean?"

[The soulless soul is the soul part of the soul]

Sure enough!

Rhodes almost understood.

When he lit the second star [Bitter Blue], he used five dusty souls, the soul of a doomsday cultist and the soul of an invading monster.

Rhodes remembered clearly that after killing the invading monster and obtaining its soul, the text that appeared on it was:

[The soul of twisted demonic flesh]

[The soul from the dark side of the twisted demonic flesh]

[Black blood wraps corpses and dead souls. This is the spiritual essence that fell off from a greater existence, a monster formed by floating in the river of eternal death for countless years. 】

Obviously, the "special soul" is the soul of the invading monster.

Only it may have the [Source] mentioned in the Book of Knowledge.

Spirituality should be provided by the soul of the doomsday believer.

Firewood should be provided by them together.

So.

If Rhodes wants to ignite new souls now, he needs to get the souls of doomsday cultists, and most importantly, the souls with [Source].

"Besides the invading monsters, are there any other monsters that have [Source]?"

【have. 】

"where?"

[Non-knowledge question. 】

wipe!

This book is too dull. When I become the king of the world, I must give it a good lesson.

From this point of view, the freedom to enter and exit the academy is much more important than I thought. I have to fight hard to get the first-class "Kingworth Star" medal.

Rhodes set his first goal and asked: "How to improve the status of the stars?"

[It needs to reach the extreme burning state and needs powerful soul firewood. 】

"How to get soul fuel?"

[Crafting on a stone platform requires corresponding elements. 】

good!

I know the answers to the two most critical questions.

Rhodes remembered every word and said, "Tell me everything about the stars."

This time there are more words.

The big book was densely written and several pages were not finished.

Not only is there a huge number of words, but there are also many never-before-seen nouns and complex grammatical linkages.

Rhodes quickly turned to the last page and the last sentence he saw was:

[Some knowledge has been lost]

Forget it, let me study it slowly when I have time.

Just know the key content.

The most important thing now is to get phlogiston, activate the stone platform, and see how the soul firewood is made.

You must know that after a star is ignited, it will continue to consume souls unless its potential reaches "eternal fire".

Rhodes went to take a look at the obelisk. In just a few hours, [Bitter Blue] went from extreme burning to continuous burning. It dropped a full three levels, and its intensity also dropped from the highest level of two. Sixteen, dropped to fifteen.

It took nearly eight hundred souls to pile it up!

If the status of [Frigid Blue] could be raised to "Eternal Fire", then its status would be "Constant Burning", and so many souls would not be wasted.

Waste is shameful. Hei Wu finally worked so hard to plant a little bit, but it was wasted by him. He was so tired at noon on the day of hoeing. Wouldn't his conscience hurt?

Rhodes said it was painful. It was his aim to maximize the use of every resource, and waste was unacceptable.

We must quickly improve our position.

Before leaving the dreamland, Rhodes asked one last question.

"What qualifications do you need to become a king?"

The white paper shook, but no new content came out.

Rhodes poked the butt of the book: "Is the computer crashed?"

My fingers suddenly hurt, as if they had been bitten by something.

"Ouch!"

Rhodes retracted his hand and the big book fell to the ground and closed itself, face up.

I saw that the lines on the cover had changed and they were connected horizontally, like a grinning mouth.

Above the mouth, patterns are used to form several words.

Rhodes looked at it for a long time.

"A black crystal full of energy? What do you mean?"

The patterns change and form new words.

"Knowledge outside of dreams requires a price. You are the Lord of Dreams, not the Lord of the Universe."

After reading it, Rod was unhappy.

"What do you mean? Do you know what it means thirty years to the west of the river and thirty years to the east of the river? When I become the master of the universe, will I still come to you to ask questions?"

The big book was turned over and the butt of the book was facing him.

Rhodes was furious: "Okay, okay, I'll give it to you."

Fold your thumbs together to form a lightning bolt symbol.

A strong feeling of falling appeared. When his sight returned again, he had returned to the bathroom and was sitting naked on the toilet, with the sound of water gurgling continuously and heat steaming around him.

But what shocked Rhodes was that there was a loud banging sound outside the door.

"Hurry up, work harder! The person may be in shock!"

Before Rhodes could say anything, there was a loud bang, the door was hammered open, and Cassan with dazzling blond hair rushed in first.

"Luo..."

Rhodes withdrew his gesture at lightning speed and opened his hands wide.

From Cassian's perspective, Rhodes was sitting naked on the toilet, with his hands wide open, about to pounce on her!

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

A scream that could destroy the world hit Rhode's eardrums instantly, and then the girl's iron fist hit him in the face. The huge impact made him break the toilet seat.

Kashan turned around and ran away, knocking away the staff of the Academic Affairs Office outside the door.

I wipe it!

Rhodes' eyes were filled with stars, his head was dizzy, and he felt like he had been severely injured locally.

You talk about having children every day, but it turns out it’s just an embroidered pillow, all talk without practice!
