Chapter 467: Book Gu Limitation Conditions
Hearing this, the interest in Long Xuan's eyes grew stronger and stronger, and he couldn't wait to ask again: "Then what does the Book Gu eat, and what does it need to complete the transformation? Does it need to keep reading different novels?"
Zhu Jiuge shook her head and explained patiently: "The Book Gu eats mental food. The method to improve growth and the method of transformation are extremely peculiar, which is that it needs many people to read your novel."
"For example, if you write a novel called 'Gu Shen Zhuan', it's not enough for the Book Worm to read it once. If you want to continue to improve the power of the Book Gu, you must spread 'Gu Shen Zhuan' out and let more people watch it."
"People who watch this book will produce mental food. The Gu worm refined from this book will swallow the mental food of these people to complete growth."
"The more people who watch the book, the stronger the Book Gu will be. When the number of people reaches a certain level, the Book Gu will complete the transformation."
"The more times the Book Gu transforms, the more book fans are needed."
"If the wonderfulness of the book is not enough, leading to a limited number of viewers, then this Book Gu will never be able to transform again in its lifetime."
Hearing this, Long Xuan was thoughtful.
He captured a lot of information in Zhu Jiuge's words, which was that to refine the Book Gu, one must use one's own original book and absolutely cannot use books that have already appeared in this world.
The reason was very simple. Books that had already appeared had been watched by a large number of people, and the mental food produced would be sucked away by the original author's Book Worm. The Book Gu refined from pirated books would not be able to plunder a single bit of mental food and would never be able to transform in its lifetime.
But although the settings of the Book Gu were interesting and the theoretical upper limit was extremely high, the strength in reality was afraid to be limited.
Because this was a high-martial world, everyone would be busy cultivating. How many people would waste their time reading novels?
Novels were a desert in this world. Even if the novel you wrote was wonderful, it would be difficult to be watched by people all over the world, and even the audience would be hard to reach one ten-thousandth.
Otherwise, if all human races had read your novel, Long Xuan couldn't imagine how strong this degree of Book Gu would be.
"Then can non-novel books work?" Long Xuan suddenly thought of something and asked with interest again.
He thought about what would happen if the Book Worm read his physics textbook from his previous life. Would it comprehend universal gravitation?
What would happen if the Book Worm read the Tao Te Ching from his previous life? Was it possible to comprehend things that even he couldn't understand?
He had too many books that had never appeared in this world, and once moved to this world, he could definitely create many interesting Gu worms.
The Book Worm only became stronger by reading original books. For people in this world, creating a book by themselves was difficult, but what he lacked most in his brain was books that had never appeared in this world.
He felt that not making good use of this kind of Book Worm was truly a waste of the massive wealth of knowledge he mastered in his brain.
Zhu Jiuge stopped writing, turned to look at him and said: "There are many kinds of Book Worms, and their hobbies are different."
"My Book Worm only likes reading novels. If you have original poetry, you must find a Book Worm with corresponding hobbies."
"However, after countless tests, novels have the most words, and only Book Worms that like reading novels are the strongest."
Hearing this, Long Xuan's eyes were even brighter. The original poetry in his mind was also too many to count, and they were all classics.
"By the way, what are you looking for me for? Could it be that you are here to pluck my wool again?"
Zhu Jiuge suddenly narrowed her eyes and looked at Long Xuan, revealing a suspicious look.
Hearing this, Long Xuan revealed a bit of embarrassment on his face and smiled stiffly: "How can that be? You are really wronging me."
"I accidentally created a very interesting Gu worm and wanted to find you to help me take a look, and by the way, I wanted to find you to open a shop together..."
... At this time, in a hall in the center of the four major branches, an old man with white hair and a beard walked back and forth in the hall anxiously with his hands behind his back.
Beside him, an old woman leaning on a cane was full of sorrow and sighed: "Dean, as the heaven and earth spiritual power becomes thinner day by day, the spiritual power sealing that monster is also becoming looser."
"Just now, that monster continuously broke through nine seals in an instant. The seal of the Nine-Story Demon Suppression Tower is no longer solid and may cause a big disaster at any time, alas..."
The Dean's face was pale. This Dean of the Saint Gu Academy, who could shake the entire Central Earth by stomping his feet, had eyes filled with deep fear, and his fingers were trembling constantly under the fear. I don't know what terrible thing happened to make such a powerhouse look like this.
"Damn it! Truly damn it! What exactly is that thing! It has been sucked for countless tens of thousands of years, and so many students haven't sucked its spiritual power dry yet! Is this joking with me!"
"I am really curious now how such an exaggerated thing was sealed by human powerhouses. This is outrageous!"
"Once that thing comes out, not only will the entire Saint Gu City be instantly destroyed, but it will also be a catastrophe for the entire human race."
"Once that thing harbors hatred, it is possible that it will even exterminate the entire human race!"
The Dean roared loudly excitedly, looking as uncomposed as he could be, no longer having the calm and majestic appearance of the past.
"Alas!" The old woman sighed heavily again and said gravely: "According to ancient books, this monster is named Yuan. At that time, human powerhouses paid a great price to barely seal it."
"Such an existence, even the human powerhouses at that time couldn't kill it, and could only seal it in one place, using massive manpower to wear down its spiritual power until one day it was completely sucked dry."
"This is also the purpose of the Saint Gu Academy's establishment. The meaning of the Saint Gu Academy's existence is to kill Yuan with endless years."
"But I didn't expect that after so long, Yuan's spiritual power is still vast and boundless. I fear this is something the human powerhouses who sealed it at the beginning never expected, right?" The old woman smiled bitterly.
The Dean had a heavy mood and said seriously: "Such an existence is by no means something we can contend with."
"Once it successfully runs out, it will be our death date, without any possibility of luck. The only way to break the situation is not to let it come out. I will leave the academy tonight and try to find the world's most powerful array master to reinforce the seal."
The Dean narrowed his eyes, suddenly looked at the old woman, and said in a deep voice: "During this period of time, don't let Zhu Jiuge leave the academy. With her here, Saint Gu City will not easily face the crisis of city destruction."
"Whether the array can be successfully reinforced and whether we can successfully prevent Yuan from escaping, I fear we can only see if her Misfortune Gu is powerful enough."
The Dean's voice was not relaxed. Clearly, he was also not sure if Zhu Jiuge's heaven-defying luck could save the Saint Gu Academy from this crisis.
A look of intolerance appeared on the old woman's face, and she frowned: "We knew early on that Zhu Jiuge had the Misfortune Gu in her body. The reason we risked recruiting her into the Saint Gu Academy was to use the Misfortune Gu in her body to deal with this crisis."
"But doing so is too cruel to Qi Luo You. As Zhu Jiuge's master, he is very likely to be backlashed to death by the power of the Misfortune Gu."
"He has been cautious all his life, never thinking that he would encounter this disaster in the end. Alas, we have let him down."
A look of grief appeared on the Dean's face, and he sighed: "Qi Luo You has cultivated countless Gu King disciples. His knowledge is so outstanding, how could he not see that Zhu Jiuge has the Misfortune Gu in her body?"
"Do you really think he is completely unaware? Don't be silly. He is doing it on purpose, acting in cooperation with us."
"Although he is cautious and extremely afraid of death, he loves the Saint Gu Academy even more. He is prepared to exchange his life for a glimmer of life for the Saint Gu Academy."
"In order to have a higher winning rate, it is not just him who will be sucked dry of luck by the Misfortune Gu."
"In this event, the most miserable one is not Qi Luo You, but that child Zhu Jiuge. Alas..."
