Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

It was currently a little past midnight and Lin Wu reckoned he had plenty of time to do what he wanted to do. Thus he could afford to wait till the system set up the new virtual interface for the Formation array of the courtyard.

Just from the number of arrays that were placed on it, Lin Wu could tell that it was a few times more complex than the ones that were placed on the safe. So to pass the time he checked out the books that were placed in the study.

There were ten bookshelves here in total, five on each side. Each bookshelf extended from the floor all the way to the roof, covering the two walls completely in books, scrolls and wooden slips. Lin Wu looked at the size and estimated that each bookshelf was about five meters tall and three meters wide. 

There were at least five hundred books on each shelf, which meant that there were around five thousand books in the entire study… well approximately. Lin Wu wanted the system to scan the books, but it was already busy with five tasks currently because of which it couldn't do that.

The system was making the virtual interface, analyzing the incident with the spatial rift and the spatial storage ring, analyzing cultivation techniques, analyzing the unknown energy and finally maintaining the passive functions of the system.

Lin Wu had asked the system before what the maximum limit for the number of tasks it could simultaneously was, but the answer it received was something unexpected to him: Unknown. 

Even the system did not know the maximum limit, but at its current capabilities, it told him that five tasks were the most it could do as of now. Lin Wu asked how he could extend the limit and was told that it should happen naturally as his cultivation base rose.

Apparently, there were a lot of Computational A.I.'s that were part of the system in addition to the main A.I. which was the core of the system. The most that the system could activate right now was two computational A.I.'s to assist it.

The system also told him that upgrading its data banks can accelerate this process and thus he wanted to gain even more information and pieces of knowledge. And now one of the biggest potential sources was in front of Lin Wu. He went ahead and picked up one of the books with his tail, which he transformed to have two prongs that held the book in them.

He then looked at the title of the book and carefully read it.

"F*ck, what's this language!?" He cursed upon realizing that he didn't understand what was written there.

While he found the characters to be similar to the ones he had learned before, there were still some difference which made it unreadable to him. Till now Lin Wu had learned two languages, the Common tongue, and the Dao script.

"Is this a different dialect or something?" Lin Wu wondered and placed the book back.

He then picked up another book and found himself unable to read the title again.

"Dammit!" He placed the book back and pulled out another.

"Oh? Wait, I can read this…" Lin Wu uttered just as he had given up hope.

"A Brief History Of The Lu Clan." Lin Wu read the title.

"So this one is written in the common tongue that I originally learned from the data node of the cultivators' memories. The other one though… what is that dialect?" Lin Wu said.

He flipped to the first page and started reading. The book was relatively small, being around a hundred pages. Lin Wu read about two pages before putting it back.

"Hmm, this is pretty much generic. Nothing special in here… at least not at the start. I'll read it later when I come back." Lin Wu stated.

He then checked the other books briefly and found that there were books of at least five languages here. Of all these books here, he could barely read ten percent of them.

"Damn, this will be a problem… I'll need to figure out how to read the rest of them." Lin Wu muttered to himself.

About half an hour had passed since Lin Wu began checking the books, and finally the stem's notification sounded.

~Ding~

LINK ESTABLISHED: Virtual Interface Created Successfully

——

"Good, just in time." Lin Wu said in a pleased tone before looking at the virtual interface window.

"Oh? This time there aren't that many options…" He muttered.

~Ding~

——

Courtyard Formation Array Interface:-

1.Activate Formations

2.Deactivate Formations

3.Assign Key (Assigned keys= 1)

CURRENT STATUS: Option 1,3 is online

——

Unlike before, there was only half the number of options that Lin Wu had seen. Another thing was that the options were less detailed than before and seemed much vague. In the case of the virtual interface of the safe, Lin Wu could choose specifically which formation to deactivate and what to activate; whereas here he could only do that for all the formations together.

"This assign key option should be the one to allow one entry, I think…" Lin Wu muttered before choosing that one.

He suddenly felt something coming in contact with his body, and he realized that it was none other than the formation array. Lin Wu could tell that a wisp of some kind was attached to his body now. 

"I guess this is what it meant by the key to the courtyard. I should be able to go in and out freely now." Lin Wu said before leaving the room.

He briefly scanned the room that Shirong was in and could very clearly hear the moans and cries that were coming from there. He got a glimpse of the 'arts' that were currently being performed in the room and silently cursed Shirong in his mind.

Pushing this thought to the bottom of his mind, Lin Wu made his way outside silently, which he didn't even need to really as there was no one except him, Shirong, and the girls in the courtyard.

"Now then… Let's go raid the kitchen!"
