Chapter 402: Chapter 400 Yuta Script
Even with the ability to crush a pig’s leg, this book was no less troublesome for Wen Wen than a pitiful Rabbit Demon Yao girl.
Moreover, Wen Wen was even more curious about where the things eaten by this book ended up.
If they truly disappeared into thin air, Wen Wen would use it to handle the daily garbage at the Sanctuary...
Wen Wen extended his pitch-black hand, and the fierce book instantly bit into his arm, but the Calamity Gloves were indestructible, and the book’s tremendous biting force could do nothing against Wen Wen.
In fact, it seemed as if the book was hurt by Wen Wen’s touch, its animal head cover’s eyes brimmed with tears, looking somewhat wronged.
Wen Wen paid no attention to its feelings and forcefully grabbed the front and back covers, violently opening it!
The strange book resisted fiercely, clamping shut like a clamshell, but ultimately it was helplessly pried open by Wen Wen’s force, revealing the contents recorded inside.
The pages of the book were slightly yellowed and thick, appearing to be made not of paper, but of some kind of animal skin. Wen Wen gently touched the pages and immediately felt an indescribable sense of disgust.
Fortunately, the texture was slightly different from human skin; otherwise, Wen Wen would not even want to touch it with his hands.
Though it wasn’t human, it seemed to be the skin of a species close to humans.
After being touched by Wen Wen, the strange book trembled violently a few times, then it obediently stopped struggling, allowing Wen Wen to examine it.
Although the book was overall quite thick, because each page was not thin, it only had a little over thirty pages, filled with Exotic Texts and another script Wen Wen had never seen before, occasionally accompanied by some images and formulas.
Unfortunately, not only did Wen Wen not recognize the unknown language, but he also couldn’t decipher the meaning of the Exotic Texts.
But the value of this book was at least equivalent to a Disaster Level Containment Item, and Wen Wen certainly wouldn’t give it up just because he couldn’t read.
So he first went to find the man in the metal suit, the Central Administrator of the Disaster Area, who possessed extensive knowledge and might understand this script.
The man in the metal suit was surprised upon seeing the script: "This is Youta script, the script itself holds power, and specific phrases can mobilize supernatural power!"
"Youta script..." Wen Wen muttered twice, then asked eagerly, "Can you help me translate it?"
The man in the metal suit shook his head and said, "I don’t have the corresponding materials here, and I also advise against you learning too much."
Wen Wen furrowed his brows and asked, "Why?"
"Youta script isn’t something everyone can learn. Ordinary people who rashly study it either become lunatics or are twisted by the abnormal powers into monsters."
"Although you can learn it, for someone with abilities like you, this script isn’t very useful."
"Moreover..." he pondered his words and said, "The characteristics of this script in mobilizing supernatural power are not naturally existing, but rely on a certain great existence to have these characteristics. Studying it too extensively will draw the attention of that existence, and you will ultimately be forced to become His follower..."
If this script was so dangerous, then Wen Wen might have to give up, but he still asked somewhat reluctantly, "Then... how much is too much?"
The man in the metal suit pointed at the strange book and said, "With books like this, try not to exceed three..."
At this, Wen Wen was reassured. To say nothing of three, he didn’t even know where to find a second one.
The man in the metal suit didn’t recognize the content of the book, but the monsters from the Inner World should know some of it, surely not all the monsters Wen Wen captured were illiterate.
So he took out a large stack of white paper and started copying it.
At night, the exams that the monsters loved very much started again, amid their cheers, Wen Wen distributed the test papers filled with his care.
After receiving the test papers, the monsters found that this exam did not only have cultural and moral education lessons but also contained half of the content that had never appeared before.
The content was basically about translating the following into the Federation Common Language...
Yes, Wen Wen planned to use this method to have the monsters help him translate.
Although the monsters were dubious, they could only obey and answer the questions. Firstly, because they respected (feared) Wen Wen very much, and secondly, because the difficulty of these questions was much simpler than asking them when the fifth session of the Federation’s meeting was convened and what significance it had...
Every single sentence from the book was written on the test papers, though the order was all scrambled, and no monster received a complete version of the content.
For each segment of content, Wen Wen assigned it to at least three monsters. If all three translations were similar, Wen Wen would adopt that translation; if the three translations differed, Wen Wen would not trust that segment of content.
Fortunately, the book only had a little over thirty pages; otherwise, just the copying would have taken Wen Wen a lot of time.
While copying, Wen Wen remembered Song Ling, who had been taken away by the Hunters Association. That guy seemed to have a lot of knowledge from the Inner World, and he probably wouldn’t need much time to study this book.
After collecting all the test papers, Wen Wen started comparing their contents to translate the content of the book.
The places with Exotic Texts were simple, except for creatures like the Curly-haired Baboon that had lost their senses, every creature knew a bit, so Wen Wen easily completed the translation of the Exotic Texts.
As for the Youta script, out of all the test papers, only a few had answers filled in, and each was somewhat different.
Nevertheless, Wen Wen confirmed that among the creatures in the cells, only the Angel of Universal Light, the Faceless Demon, and Yan Biqing might recognize some characters from Youta script, and they probably only knew the meanings of some characters.
As for the other creatures, they were more illiterate regarding Youta script than Wen Wen.
Depending on these translations, Wen Wen more or less figured out what the book was about.
The book’s title was "Book of Thunder"!
It offered a very detailed analysis of the nature of thunder and lightning, including how natural thunder and lightning are produced, along with some formulas related to thunder and lightning!
Possibly due to the differences between the Inner World and the real world, some of the things recorded here were not very sophisticated and even seemed a bit laughable to Wen Wen, who had studied basic physics.
But for a superpower user, the value of this book was far greater than any physics book in the real world!
It even included tutorials on how to construct a ’generator’ inside the human body using supernatural power!
And with some of the content Wen Wen had now decoded, he could start attempting some things!
"As long as what is recorded here is truly useful, I will find a way to get another book!"
"Learning another book should also be safe, but that’s for later. Right now, what I need to do is find the most accurate translations from the three of them..."
