Chapter 108 You Must Be Responsible

But after all, "a stack" is not a detailed unit of measurement.

Xu You made a rough calculation and gave Jiang Hong a more accurate number.

"Dean, I'd like to borrow 50 books at a time. I read very quickly and can return them in three days, so it shouldn't delay other people from borrowing books."

In fact, Xu You wanted to say 100 copies at first, but he was worried that Jiang Hong would be scared, so he said a more conservative number.

But even so, Jiang Hong was still frightened by Xu You.

"Borrow... 50 books at a time?"

If it were anyone else, Jiang Hong would have thought the student was crazy.

But facing Xu You, Jiang Hong also knew that he would definitely not come to him on purpose to play a joke on him.

"Dean, is this a bit difficult to handle?"

Looking at Jiang Hong's expression , Xu You also knew that the request he made might be a bit excessive.

"It's a little difficult, but as long as it can help our students learn, I will definitely try my best to help you."

Even Xu You's request sounded a little outrageous.

But Jiang Hong had successfully helped Xu You apply for flexible classes.

This time, to put it bluntly, I just wanted to borrow a few more books.

Anyway, putting so many books on the library shelves is a waste of resources.

Thinking of this, Jiang Hong didn't care about so much and shamelessly contacted the librarian of Ji University to explain the matter.

Naturally, Jiang Hong's request was strongly opposed by the curator at the beginning.

After all, the library has its own rules and it is impossible to grant privileges to a student casually.

But Jiang Hong is no pushover. When he was in school, he often participated in various debate competitions and was very eloquent.

They also brought up Xu You's status as the first place in IPhO, and that he published two papers in top journals at the age of 18, making him the youngest first author of "Nature" in China, and that he didn't even have to attend classes.

If Xu You's growth is affected because he cannot borrow enough books, you as the library director will be responsible.

Under pressure, the librarian had to agree to increase the upper limit of the number of books Xu You could borrow, subject to the school's record.

"Dean Jiang, there is one thing we need to discuss in advance. Xu You borrowed too many books at once. If he doesn't return them for a long time, it will have a certain impact on the operation of the entire library, and other students will not be able to borrow books normally. Isn't Xu You a very fast reader? Then let's give him a fifteen-day borrowing period."

Normally, the loan period for each book is two months.

Jiang Hong couldn't help but complain in his heart when he heard this. It's just 50 books. Can it affect the operation of the library?

Jiang Hong even wanted to tell the curator directly, but Xu You had already said that it didn't take fifteen days at all, just three days would be enough.

However, giving Xu You more time would be better for him, so Jiang Hong didn't say much about it.

After thanking the curator, Jiang Hong told Xu You the news.

"I have talked to the director and will help you apply for it. However, the borrowing period will be shortened to fifteen days. This is also to ensure the liquidity of the books. Please understand."

Xu You naturally wouldn't mind such a small matter.

"Okay, thank you for your help, Dean. Fifteen days is a bit too much. Three days should be enough."

Xu You is still very confident about his reading speed.

Although it is not as exaggerated as quantum wave speed reading.

But it is still easy for Xu You to finish a book in half an hour.

In the end, Jiang Hong successfully helped Xu You solve the library card problem.

After getting the new library card, Xu You was also a little excited.

The increase in library card borrowing volume makes Xu You happier even than the increase in bank card balance.

After making preparations, Xu You also gave up the old method of tying books with ropes.

Xu You found his suitcase and took out the things inside and packed them up.

"Just drag it with you when you go to the library next time."

After all, humans invented the mechanical structure of the wheel.

Using rolling friction is definitely much more labor-saving than carrying it.

Dragging his suitcase, Xu You came to the Ji University Library.

It was also the first time for the library staff to see students bringing suitcases to the library.

They were all very surprised. It shouldn't be worth dragging a suitcase over just to borrow a few books.

There were also some people who recognized Xu You's identity, but they didn't know that Xu You had just obtained the privilege of borrowing 50 books at a time.

"That's great. Finally I don't have to borrow only 6 books at a time."

When it comes to books, Xu You never thinks it's too little, and he doesn't want to limit his desire to read for various reasons.

Xu You put all the books that he had selected long ago into his suitcase.

In addition to reference books, Xu You also borrowed a lot of paper documents related to the subject.

The number of documents borrowed is counted separately, and the upper limit is also 50 books. Xu You does not want to waste this resource.

Carrying a suitcase full of books, Xu You came to the self-service borrowing window and went through the book borrowing procedures.

Fortunately, self-service borrowing is more convenient now. You can scan many books each time without having to go through the trouble of going through the procedures one by one.

Amid the astonished gazes of the crowd, Xu You completed the borrowing procedures for a box of books and left in a leisurely manner dragging his suitcase.

After returning to the dormitory, Xu You piled up the books and documents he had just borrowed on the desk, then entered a deep learning state, beginning to absorb the knowledge frantically.

Xu You did not aim for speed. He tried his best to thoroughly understand every book and document, and from time to time he performed various analyses and calculations on draft paper.

Even so, Xu You's reading speed was faster than planned.

A book with not so obscure content can be read in just over ten minutes under the third-level deep learning state.

Even for those with more complex content, you can usually fully understand them within 20 to 30 minutes.

Although he has not yet entered the flow state, this feeling also makes Xu You feel physically and mentally happy.

It was not until the roommates came back from get out of class that they saw the mountain of books on Xu You's desk.

I couldn't help but be shocked once again by Xu You's terrifying academic spirit.

"Xu You... has he become so terrifying?"

Even though they were already accustomed to Xu You's various amazing performances.

But faced with such a situation, they could only admire Xu You.

Let’s not talk about how talented Xu You is.

Even if you just put these books on their desks.

That feeling of oppression was enough to make them feel breathless.
