Chapter 21: Read Wide and Wisely Write
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Increasing reading efficiency by 100 times!
This was the ability that Fang Yuan needed the most right now.
As the first floor of the library was a public exhibition area, the volume of books was extremely large, and the categories involved were also extremely diverse.
From pet geography, pet breeding, to pet education, pet psychology, pet pharmacology, and so on, everything was included.
Fang Yuan wanted to understand the information of the mysterious bear as thoroughly as possible.
He had to read thousands of books.
However, the books in the library were enough for a person to read from the beginning to the end, from the cradle to the grave.
He had been worrying about how to read all these books.
Now, with the hundredfold increase, when he opened the book, it was like a scanner. The words printed on the paper did not need to be understood or digested. They were directly printed in Fang Yuan’s brain.
They could be accessed at any time.
There was pleasure in reading. As the saying went, reading brought pleasure for a moment, and reading all the time brought pleasure all the time.
When you read fast enough and the acquisition of knowledge was easy enough, learning was as easy as reading a web novel.
Fang Yuan walked further in along the bookshelf.
He only needed to use his fingers to flip through the pages. From the beginning to the end, he would completely grasp the essence of the book.
He would be able to read it thoroughly.
From astronomy to geography, from physiology to psychology, from the eugenics of dragons to the post-natal care of sows, he had read everything he should and shouldn’t be reading.
He could never have too much knowledge.
Fang Yuan was using a “quantum fluctuation” like reading method to scan the books in the library.
Soon, he had read more than half of the books on the entire floor.
At this speed, he estimated that he would finish reading all the books on the first floor of the library before the sun set.
Before that, he wanted to find a way to go to the restricted book area.
For the restricted book area to be restricted, it must be due to the more precious knowledge.
He walked to the front desk.
He asked the librarian at the door, “May I know what kind of qualifications I need to go through to get to the restricted section on the second floor?”
The librarian didn’t even raise his head.
He had noticed this young man just now.
When he was reading beside the bookshelf, he became impatient and restless. Every book was casually flipped through two pages and put back on the bookshelf. What could he learn from this?
The books he was reading had all kinds of subjects. They were all over the place. They were not systematic at all. They were not structured at all.
How could you build a complete knowledge system like this?
The librarian cursed in his heart, but he did not show it on his face.
He just pointed forward with his mouth.
He signaled that there was an exam going on over there. Fang Yuan walked in the direction he was pointing and was quickly stopped by someone. “You are the examinees who are partic.i.p.ating in the qualification a.s.sessment today? Quickly return to your seats and sit down. The papers are about to be handed out.”
He followed his instructions and found an empty seat to sit down.
A blank paper was placed in front of him. There were probably thousands of questions densely packed on the paper.
There were choices, fill-in-the-blanks, and short answers.
All of the questions were about the knowledge of pets. The big ones were about the impact of the arrival of the era of all pets on the global economic integration.
The small ones were the third generation descendants of the violent lynx and the curly-haired electric cat. There were a few barbs on their front paws.
They had everything anyway, nothing was excluded.
Fang Yuan was stunned by what he saw.
However, no matter how difficult the questions were, for someone like him who had just finished reading the entire library with a hundred times the efficiency, there was no problem at all.
Chen Ying, who was sitting in the front row, turned around and looked at Fang Yuan, slightly surprised.
Then, she regained her composure.
“You came in advance to familiarize yourself with the type of questions for the qualification a.s.sessment, right? “There are indeed many questions and they are very difficult. You will definitely find them troublesome the first time you come here. Later on, read more books. When you are free, you can check the information again and slowly grasp the thinking of the person who came up with the questions. It will be better.”
She kindly shared her learning experience with Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan nodded. He raised the blank paper and studied it for a while.
Then, he suddenly picked up the pen and started to write on it.
He started to answer the questions!
For Fang Yuan who had all the knowledge in his mind, wouldn’t he be able to answer these questions with his hands?
At this moment, the exam had just begun.
The qualification exam was actually an open-ended exam.
The number of questions on the exam paper far exceeded the amount of questions that the examinee could complete.
The goal was to test the students’ overall grasp of the knowledge related to pets. The time and energy of a person’s life was limited. It was impossible to fully blossom in every field and master everything.
However, a qualified pet researcher had to have a good trial basis and complete information retrieval ability.
In other words, in scientific research, you could have things you didn’t understand, but when you encountered a problem, you had to know where to find the answer.
This was also the reason why the qualification exam would choose to open the paper.
However —
Fang Yuan was sitting in his seat, frantically writing on the paper, quickly answering the questions.
He had treated the exam as a closed book!
“What… what is he doing? Why is he writing so fast?”
“He’s completely scribbling. The scope of the questions covers all subjects. At his age, how can he know everything?”
“When this child entered the door just now, I wanted to say that books aren’t read like this. As the saying goes, reading a book a hundred times is self-evident. The best reading is to read it repeatedly. How can you learn anything by just looking at it?”
“I suspect that he’s pretending. In order to show off his knowledge in front of girls, he wrote the entire paper. In fact, he doesn’t know anything at all. He’s just writing a novel on the paper for fun.”
Fang Yuan didn’t pay any attention to the questions that were flying at him. He didn’t even raise his head. He didn’t hear them at all.
The questions on the paper were indeed too many and too complicated.
Even with his learning efficiency, it would probably take him an hour to complete them all.
The second exploration of the arcane realm was right in front of him.
He had to think of a way to get a pa.s.s to the restricted reading area before the library closed at five in the afternoon.
The tip of the pen flew across the paper, and the elegant writing script flew across the surface of the paper.
When the discussion around him reached a boiling point.
Fang Yuan looked up confidently. “Teacher, I have handed in my paper.”
