Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!
Chapter 201 Next Time for Sure

Chapter 201: Chapter 201 Next Time for Sure

Emily raised her hand, magic clinging to all the tea utensils; with a gentle wave, the utensils obediently stacked themselves neatly on a cart, which slowly made its way into the kitchen.

Remaining seated, Yang Yu showed no intention of leaving. Ending the conversation so abruptly was not something he was willing to accept.

"Madam, are those all the things you wish to ask me? Surely, there aren’t other matters you wish to inquire about?"

"We’ll have plenty of opportunities to talk in the future," Emily replied with a meaningful smile, "You arrived earlier than I expected, and I didn’t have anything prepared to entertain you. Next time I will make sure everything is ready. Besides, I had put aside my work and returned here from the Second Sky-Scraping Library using Teleportation Magic. I haven’t finished my tasks there and must hurry back; I hope you understand."

You will have time in the future, but I might not.

The Demon King could arrive in this world at any time; if I don’t advance quickly enough, it would be ridiculous to not be able to beat even a minion.

It is well known that ascended Demon Kings aren’t stupid; from the start, they aim to conquer the world with extremely cruel methods, which are far stronger than those native fool Demon Kings who merely send minions to help heroes level up.

Becoming an Advanced Member of the Library sooner rather than later will allow me to access the knowledge I need to devise future strategies.

While I may seem idle these days, in reality... it really is no different from being a salted fish.

You saying "definitely next time" so casually, will make things difficult for me.

I fear that if I continue with this idleness, I will truly end up lying still, idly watching dramas unfold.

When the time comes, if a Hero whose combat power is unknown outshines me and I end up as cannon fodder, then what?

Having a rare interaction with the high-ranking officers in the Library, Yang Yu was not about to let that opportunity pass without further effort. He tried to find a breakthrough, not letting the conversation end there.

"Madam, I heard from Tico that you subscribe to every issue of the Library Newspaper. You’ve read the latest issue too, right?"

"It’s precisely because I read the latest issue of the Newspaper, and since you showed no desire to refute its contents, that I wanted to discuss face to face with you about your relationship with Tico," Emily said, her frustration hinting at some relief, "I’ve learned a lot from this conversation. From your words, I can tell the kind of person you are... I entrust my daughter to you."

Yang Yu wanted to say more, but Emily neatly organized everything and then used Teleportation Magic.

Surrounded by splendid purple magical runes, Emily became transparent and then, with a swoosh, disappeared as a point of light in the room.

"Come in haste, leave in haste, not giving me a chance to ask more questions, and didn’t even escort me out. Aren’t you afraid I might take some interesting items with me?"

Looking up at the luxurious ceiling relief, Yang Yu narrowed his eyes, muttering to himself,

"Speaking of which, she probably isn’t afraid... this place is monitored by her, careless actions would yield no good results."

He abandoned his gaming instincts to rummage and dig around. Yang Yu stood up and walked out of the villa.

Things certainly wouldn’t be as simple as he imagined.

Tico’s mother must have learned from the Newspaper that I possess knowledge from the Otherworld, yet she seems uninterested.

From her actions just now, Tico’s relation and work with me outweigh the books I hold from the Otherworld.

Usually, knowledge from the Otherworld would make quite an impact in the Library... Why has it turned out this way?

Could it be that countless people claiming to have discovered unseen ancient texts or Otherworld knowledge have caused Tico’s mother to be disinterested in the knowledge I hold?

A miscalculation, to forget such extravagant claims exist...

Maybe I really have to resort to submitting them to the designated box, to be checked by the Library’s professionals, and hopefully rewarded after approval?

Yang Yu dismissed that idea immediately.

No, if I submit them to the box, those in charge might just take a few results and dismiss the rest. It seems I must negotiate face to face.

Looking at the Physics textbook in the System, Yang Yu clicked his tongue, realizing blowing up the value of these books is not so simple.

If I can’t make them see the value of this stuff, they won’t take it seriously. I must come up with a good plan...

As he walked, new strategies began to form in Yang Yu’s mind.

He returned to his room and sat on the comfortable sofa, taking out the Physics textbook from the system.

As his fingers glided over the smooth cover, he flipped through to find the table of contents, which prominently listed topics about electric fields and charges at the Advanced level.

Page by page, Yang Yu wanted to select some interesting experiments to show to the Library’s high-ranking officials, sparking their curiosity.

Now, it seemed like his new plan was already half doomed from the start.

Yang Yu had no idea where to procure transformers, ammeters, variable resistors, and other electrical apparatus to perform electrical experiments.

Well, just pick a few simple experiments to show them, convince them if they’re willing, otherwise, think of another way to make them believe.

Unless he hit a dead end, Yang Yu was determined to utilize his books to become an Advanced Member of the Library.

If not, he would have to reevaluate his methods.

Next time, he would probably conceive of methods that would be time-consuming.

He took out paper and a pen, listing all the physics knowledge he could remember, sorting through it, then racked his brains to construct reasoning, contemplating how to convince the Library’s high-ranking officers to recognize the real value of this book.

At the very least, even if they couldn’t understand the books, they should regard them highly.

The high-ranking officials of the Library were knowledgeable, and too many mistakes would make them more pressing. The more time went by, the more preparation was needed.

Without organizing, Yang Yu realized he had returned all the knowledge he had learned over the years to his teachers, and the experiments he could think of were just those few.

However, those were enough.

What remained was how to increase the chance of catching the eye of an Elder Council member.

Regarding this, Yang Yu already had a preliminary idea.

As the saying goes, don’t put all your eggs in one basket.

If the chances of being noticed by one influencer were slim, then step into the view of many influencers.

Some influencers are strict, naturally, there are also those who are lenient.

Therefore, a big net must be cast to encompass them all.
