I can optimize spell code

Chapter 61 Library Data Farming

Krom was very pleased with this humble and eager-to-learn young man, and he patted Rom on the shoulder:

"Go ahead and prepare well for the assessment. You can also come to my special research lab anytime you have free time!"

Perhaps your unique perception can offer some inspiration to my research, which has been stagnant for many years. I believe in your talent.

……

A moment later, Rom opened the office door and walked out.

Jack was pacing back and forth in the corridor, holding a teacup, clearly having been waiting for some time.

Seeing Rom emerge, holding a bronze plaque gleaming with a cyan emblem, Jack glanced at it and immediately let out an exaggerated gasp, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on:

"Holy crap!!! Good heavens!! It's a [Special Grade Research Assistant] badge!!!"

Jack was so excited he almost dropped his teacup, and roared in a low voice, "This is a god-tier guild badge! Usually, only the personal disciples of high-ranking archmages, or mages of rank two or higher, can apply for it! I've been in the academy for three years, and I've applied five times through connections, but I still haven't gotten approved... because those old professors in the wind magic department are all incredibly stingy! Sigh! Boss, it seems you've really met a great person!"

Manman, the green-haired female assistant who was about to go in to clean up the cups, stopped in her tracks when she heard Jack's exclamation, her beautiful eyes filled with incredulous surprise.

She had served Professor Crom for many years, and although she held the title of assistant, she knew that she was actually only doing menial tasks such as serving tea and water. She knew all too well what kind of temper Crom had. Countless nobles had brought lavish gifts to try and get their children into the program to boost their resumes, only to be ruthlessly rebuked and sent away by the professor.

And today, the professor actually met this poorly dressed young man for the first time, and in less than half an hour, he gave him this extremely valuable [Special Grade Research Assistant] position?!

Manman was secretly surprised, and at the same time, she immediately labeled Luo Mu as a "super genius who must not be offended".

"Please have some tea, Mr. Rom." Manman's attitude became extremely respectful, even a little ingratiating. She quickly poured out a steaming cup of flower tea and handed it to him with both hands.

Rom smiled and waved his hand: "No need, thank you for the tea and snacks, they were delicious."

"I'd like to go check on my dorm room right now. Professor Crom said you'd be there; could you please show me the way?"

Led by Manman, Luo Mu soon arrived at the dormitory area in the inner ring of the academy, where rows of towers stood.

Arriving at a standalone tower, pushing open the door, one finds not only a soft velvet bed, but also a set of tables, chairs, and bookshelves.

The environment is serene and the facilities are complete, not much different from the mage's pavilion in Baiyin Town.

But Luo Mu only glanced at the dormitory before immediately turning to Manman: "Where's the library? Take me there."

This was the place he was most eager to go when he arrived in Red Dragon City.

...

A few minutes later, Rom stood in front of the Guild's Grand Library.

This is an extremely magnificent circular building, with a huge light-transmitting crystal embedded in its towering dome.

As soon as you step through the gate, a smell of old parchment and aged ink hits you.

A massive circular bookshelf, several meters high, stretched along the walls all the way to the dome, densely packed with millions of magical tomes.

If an ordinary mage were to stand here, they would probably feel a deep sense of powerlessness.

Even if they devoted their entire lives to learning, they could never finish studying all the knowledge contained in even one bookcase here.

But in Romú's eyes, this was hardly a library.

This is clearly a completely unprotected, super-open source code library!

"Is there anything else I can help you with, Mr. Romwell?" Manman asked respectfully.

Rom's eyes were already scanning the bookshelf quickly. He casually replied, "Yeah, it's nothing. You can go back now. I might be staying here for a long time."

Manman tactfully withdrew.

Romulus immediately walked to the nearest bookshelf and, without any hesitation, pulled out more than a dozen thick, heavy tomes:

"Hypothetical Flow of Wind Element", "Low-Order Water Condensation Technique", "Overview of Earth System", "Elementary Thunderstorm Analysis"...

He found a secluded corner by the window and sat down, eagerly flipping through the first book.

However, after watching for a while, Rom's brows furrowed slightly.

These books were different from the kind of reference books he had imagined that were "entirely illustrated guides to spells and incantations."

Most of the books consist of old scholars' research on the principles of magic, their insights from meditation, and a large number of obscure and difficult-to-understand natural philosophical theories.

Fortunately, these theoretical books occasionally intersperse complete spells and basic magic-building runes between the lines to support a certain viewpoint.

"It seems that those truly lethal high-level spells, or core arcane scrolls, are definitely treasured by the professors of each faction and kept in higher-level treasuries, rather than casually displayed in these public first to third-floor reading areas."

Rom touched his chin.

However, the vast collection of books scattered before him was enough for him.

He didn't need to understand those obscure magical philosophies; he only needed the system to decompile every rune fragment that appeared in the book, just like extracting data.

"start."

Romé began a "quantum speed reading" exercise.

He didn't bother to look at the contents; he just kept putting stacks of books on the table and flipping through the thick, ancient parchment books like flipping through a comic book.

He spends a maximum of zero seconds on each page. As soon as the system captures the text description of the rune pattern and the spell pronunciation, he immediately turns to the next page.

Not far away, several noble young masters dressed in fine clothes sat at several mahogany tables, sipping hot tea and studying intently.

Hearing the loud, rough turning of pages coming from over there, the group frowned and looked over.

When they saw Romé frantically flipping through books from different schools of thought like a madman, they couldn't help but chuckle quietly.

"Ha, where did this country bumpkin come from? Coming to the general library looking for fun? Who reads books like that?"

"It's just a publicity stunt. The unfamiliar face is probably some country bumpkin preparing for the basic assessment this year."

Look at him, he's read through all the books on wind, water, earth, and thunder, what a joke.

"Magic requires using mental power to carefully perceive the resonance of elements. If he just flips through the book like that, even if he does it for ten thousand years, he won't even make a ripple!"

"Never mind him, he's trying to do too much and won't be able to handle it properly. He's obviously an amateur."

Rom ignored the taunts.

To outsiders, he appeared to be putting on an act, but deep within his retina, the system panel was processing data at an incredibly frantic pace.

[Fragments of basic water-based pronunciation have been detected. Comparison and completion are underway... Batch creation of local database.]

[Microscopic interference logic of the wood system detected; initiating local database construction.]

[Soil-based gravity foundation interface detected. Initiating local database creation.]

……

As Luo Mu listened to the constant "ding-ding" sounds in his mind, a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.
