The God Virus

Volume 3 - 114 A Madman

After the elder was gone, Virus walked in front of the first bookshelf, as he pondered, ’I should get the best evaluation and shock the whole sect, so they would grant me the position I’m after as soon as possible. Although this would attract some unnecessary attention and headaches, it doesn’t matter...’

Having made his decision to try his best on this evaluation, Virus took ten books from the first bookshelf all at once as he placed them on the ground and sat there beside them.

Then, choosing two books randomly from among the ten books, he placed both books in front of himself and began turning their pages one after another.

With his left hand, he was turning the pages of the book on the left and with his right hand, he began turning the pages of the book on the right.

He was changing each page so quickly that it could be said at each second, both of the books’ pages were turned once.

The passing disciples thought this volunteer must be looking for a book that was easy to memorize, so after feeling a little contempt at him for trying to pass the evaluation like this, they no longer paid him any further attention.

At the moment, the other four volunteers who had also walked beside a random bookshelf were searching for the book they wanted to read and memorize.

Currently, Alice was happily thinking inside, ’Granpa forced me to read and learn lots of books related to herbs and ingredients... who knew this would come in handy... now I just need to find those books and review them again just to be sure, then I would pass this evaluation easily... yay, grandpa... I love you the most, hehe.’

After this notion passed through her head, she jovially started searching for those books in their own related sections.

Other than Virus and the four volunteers, there were other people at the library too, who were the official inferior disciples of the sect. Most of these people didn’t pay the five volunteers any attention at all as they were truly indifferent toward them.

But some among them were ignoring them not because they were truly indifferent, but because they felt these volunteers weren’t worth their attention at all.

While these people who were ignoring them for whatever reason didn’t bother the volunteers at all, there were some gazing at them with provocative eyes, which was really bothersome, but their only option was to ignore them too, at least for now.

If it was a normal circumstance, some of the four might have retorted, but as they all understood time was essential right now, they didn’t pay them any attention in response.

In the meantime, Virus was turning two pages at each second, with each hand turning one over.

Every time Virus turned the pages, four new pages would appear in front of him which he just looked at once, before casually turning the pages once again.

This process of turning pages after pages continued for around two minutes when the two books in his hands were finished and no more pages were remaining from any of the two books.

Then, without stopping or relaxing in the least, he put the two books away as he picked two new books which he began changing its pages one after another.

Time passed just like that as Virus continued this process just like a child that didn’t know how to read, but in order to pretend to know how to read, that child would turn the pages of the book in a quick manner. Now, Virus too was doing just that, only... he was doing it much faster.

One hour passed when the walking ground of the corridor in front of the first bookshelf was almost filled with books everywhere.

At first, the disciples and everyone else thought he was just looking for the easiest books to memorize, but after an hour passed, seeing him still continue doing what he was doing at the beginning... they realized they were gravely wrong.

By this time, everyone at the library was looking at him like they were looking at a madman as they conversed between themselves in a low voice jokingly, "Who let this madman into the library? How could the evaluation let an insane person pass the first evaluation?"

"Who knows... maybe they didn’t realize he was crazy... anyway, he’s just wasting his time. He’s going to fail the evaluation if he continues like this for any longer."

Different disciples were muttering quietly to each other in a joking manner while looking at the volunteer who seemed to have gone crazy.

The other volunteers were also confused by this genius monster’s actions, but as they didn’t have the time to pay attention to anyone else other than the books in front of them, they decided to ignore him and focus on what they were doing.

After around one hour and forty minutes later, Virus seemed to have turned the pages of every book at the first shelf, as they were all on the ground here and there.

But without stopping in that bookshelf in the least, he went to the second bookshelf and continued just like before.

Seeing this, some couldn’t help but sigh in sympathy thinking, ’He’s truly gone mad... maybe it’s because the books are too hard for him to memorize...’

It was at this time, some of the workers in charge of the library went to the first bookshelf while gritting their teeth in anger and began placing the books at their original spots as they pondered, ’You just turn the pages without reading? Fine!!! But at least place the books at their own places after doing that you bastard!’

Even though they were thinking along these lines, they didn’t dare to lash out at him for real as it was their duty and job to clean the library and put back the books the disciples pick after they were done reading them.

Around another hour and forty minutes passed when it was a mess in the corridor of the second bookshelf just like the previous one as a madman walked out from it before going to the third one to the speechlessness of the others in the library.

Now, they were seriously wondering what was wrong with this person and if he had truly gone mad.

Afterward, he went to the fourth bookshelf to the stupefaction of the disciples, accompanied by the library workers’ gazes which were filled with hatred toward this madman.

At this point, some of their eyes were even red and bloodshot because of their anger toward Virus, but they still couldn’t protest in the least as that might lead them to be fired.

But as if he didn’t notice the weird looks of hatred mixed with speechlessness around him, Virus continued to the fifth bookshelf which had exactly hundred books just like the other ten bookshelves in the first floor of the library.

Then he went to the sixth bookshelf...

At this point, the library workers had teary eyes as they were begging inside, ’Oh please stop my great ancestor...’

But to the extreme grief of the library workers, he proceeded to the seventh bookshelf...

Then the eighth bookshelf...

Ninth Bookshelf...

And eventually, the final tenth bookshelf!
