The room was not large, and the white light from within was as bright as day, with only a single clear glass cabinet placed right in the middle of the room.

Xia Fei walked over and looked into the cabinet through the high-tempered glass.

There was only a book in the cabinet, and the book was bound in a thick leatherback, roughly several centimeters in thickness.

The dark-red leather had already suffered wear and tear to the point that it was unseemingly, tattered in many areas, though the paperbound within was still perfectly preserved.

The moment Xia Fei could make out the title of that old tome clearly, his mouth hung agape from shock, feeling dumbfounded.

Phantom just so happened to appear while Xia Fei was in this room. Usually, Phantom would be hiding in his Moore Stone for whatever reason, but the moment something new was about to happen, or if a discovery was to be made, Phantom would always appear in a very timely fashion.

An Introduction to Coding Robots. Phantom read the title aloud, word by word.

Like Xia Fei, Phantom was so startled that he could not utter another word out. The two of them stared at this tome for a really long time.

Oh, heavens. This is an ancient civilization tome that details the process of coding robots, excitedly said Phantom.

It had been a very long time since the ancient civilization was wiped out, and every item that they left behind was exceedingly precious, and this tome in front of them, it was immensely precious, for it was a book related to coding robots.

Given the current technological standards, humans were actually capable of creating robots, but what they could not replicate was the sophisticated AI that the ancient civilization possessed.

Presently, there were some uses of AI within the Alliance, such as the AI computer and the automated navigation found in spaceships, but these were all done with the aid of AI itself.

Nonetheless, those were just rudimentary AIs and were far from the standards of AIs the ancient civilization had achieved.

There was a stark contrast between the ancient civilizations AI and the present-day AI, and it was the fact that the former had emotions.

Just like humans, robots that had AI would not only feel sadness and happiness, they would even be capable of forming their beliefs, living like real people. Aside from their mechanical bodies, they were no different from humans; in fact, these robots were even better than humans in various aspects, such as their intelligence, bravery, et cetera.

The tome detailed how to code robots, and it might very well contain the legendary knowledge of creating AI.

AI was the most advanced technology that humans had invented through the eons of history, and there was simply no way to measure its worth.

Why would such a valuable tome be stashed in the basement of this library? Could this library be hiding away some secret? If its such a huge secret, why would Qin Mang send me to this room? Xia Fei pondered.

Collecting his thoughts, Xia Fei spotted a bag of cat food inside a cupboard in the corner, closing the door behind him upon leaving.

Taking a deep breath, Xia Fei suppressed the uneasiness and excitement he was feeling inside himself and left the basement with the bag of cat food.

After idly chatting with Qin Mang for awhile, Xia Fei found an excuse to get up and leave the library.

Before leaving, Xia Fei saw a poster regarding the recruitment of a librarian.

Phantom knitted his brows and said, Xia Fei, do you really intend to be a librarian? After all that hard work youve put into getting to Heaven Execution Training Camp, it isnt too bad if you end up in some branch division, and even that will be better than the library.

Xia Fei did not answer Phantom as he quietly made his way back to the dormitories.

He reached the main road in the training camp, where cadets were thronging in groups of twos or threes or riding along in their hover discs.

Xia Fei came to a stop and pointed to the cadets around him. Phantom, what do you see?

Phantom turned in the direction where Xia Fei was pointing and asked, What? Arent they just cadets in the training camp?

Xia Fei shook his head. Take a closer look.

Phantom was a little impatient. What I see is just a handful full of cadets, men and women alike, no matter their sizes are.

Dont you think they all look similar? Xia Fei asked. There are almost 50,000 cadets here. If I were to end up joining them here and now, it would be equivalent to walking on this path with all of them.

Do you think thats a good idea? Xia Fei asked even as he thought about it. Did I come here to the training camp just so I could repeat that route someone had already walked?

Xia Fei lowered his head and kicked a white stone along the road. This stone flew through the air and landed in a pile of similar rocks, impossible to distinguish which it was th
