Chapter 552: Library Pass

Chapter 552: Library Pass

What Xiao Lin needed to understand was the history of the colonists, not those textbooks meant for the masses, but true history. It was obvious that Dawn Academy adopted some traditions from back on Earth, and the books that were publically available were never complete or have always had special edits made.

Xiao Lin knew that he probably would not be able to find any books he wanted from the first three areas of the library, so he first looked for the librarian, Gu Fantian. He had met Gu Fantian a few times before. Even though they were not that familiar with each other, the second-year senior was quite nice to him. Of course, most of that was due to Xiao Lin’s status as a monitor.

Gu Fantian was working in the library during the weekend for some extra income, and his expression changed to one of friendliness and happiness when he saw the rare appearance of Xiao Lin. He even tried to drag Xiao Lin out for some drinks. Xiao Lin naturally did not have the mood, and after a few pleasantries, he voiced his request upfront. He said that he wanted an S-rank library pass.

Gu Fantian’s smile slowly disappeared as he asked in confusion, “An S-rank library pass? I don’t think you need that area of the library right now, right? Why are you so impatient? With your abilities in the academy, you will be able to get in when you are in your fourth year.”

“Do you have no way to do it?” Xiao Lin deciphered his words. Of course, he anticipated that answer, so he changed his questions. “Where will I be able to get an S-rank library pass?”

“Only the student union president can do that. The S-rank area has a lot of books that even the fourth-year seniors can’t use. Most of them are for research students or professors,” Gu Fantian reminded.

“So I only need the student union president to decide on it? That’s simple then. It’ll be easy for me.” Xiao Lin let out a long sigh of relief as he mumbled to himself.

Gu Fantian’s eyebrow twitched. Xiao Lin was probably the only person that would think that getting the approval of the student union president was the easiest way. He had vaguely heard of Xiao Lin’s relationship with the president before this, but he could not hold back as he said, “It’s not just the president, the various department heads need to discuss the matter as well. You will need the support of the relevant department heads to be able to get the pass done.”

“Discussion? The support of a department head?” Xiao Lin felt like his problems had disappeared, because he thought about Song Junlang. The Logistics Department Head was still at the level of a department head, so he smiled, “Then there won’t be a problem. Don’t worry, you just need to tell me how it’s done.”

This time, Gu Fantian was thoroughly speechless, because he thought about Song Junlang as well. Xiao Lin had constantly gone to the logistics department that no one cared about; that was already something widespread. However, he did not think that Xiao Lin would have such a good relationship with the people there. Gu Fantian could not help but admire Xiao Lin. Before, he only admired Xiao Lin’s monitor position and skill; now, it was his background and connections.

Xiao Lin immediately left for the student union after talking to Gu Fantian. The president had returned with him from Dawn Academy. When he saw Xiao Lin knock on the door, he was a little surprised, but quickly smiled bitterly. “I should really create a special pass for you to the student union offices, but it seems like it’s not that needed. The guards are already pretty much all familiar with you.”

“Ah, there’s no need for a pass, there doesn’t seem to be anyone in this building who would stop me from coming in. Why don’t you give me an S-rank library pass instead?”

“An S-rank library pass? Haha, that’s not a problem.” The president smiled warmly. Not even asking anything else, he immediately produced the needed forms from his drawer for Xiao Lin. Once Xiao Lin filled it up, the president signed his name before returning it to Xiao Lin, continuing to say, “According to the rules, you still need a signature from a department head for an S-rank library pass to be in effect. You don’t know the other department heads, so just head to Song Junlang.”

The entire process only needed ten minutes. After that, Xiao Lin could not help but get suspicious. No matter how familiar he was with the president, it should not have been so easy. Xiao Lin looked throughout the form, but could not see any flaws, and he did not think the president would trick him with something like that either.

Once he reached Song Junlang’s logistics department, Department Head Song did not even look at the form. Once Xiao Lin gave a brief explanation, the department head immediately laughed.

Xiao Lin’s mouth twitched. “I can hear the mockery in your laughter.”

“Oh, this isn’t mockery; I just think it’s interesting.”

“Then is there any difference with mocking me?”

“Fine, I won’t joke around. Do you know why the president approved your request so quickly?”

“Does he really have some sort of trick?” Xiao Lin’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Song Junlang laughed out loud again. He laughed so much he bent backwards. When Xiao Lin started glaring at him, Song Junlang finally stopped, saying, “You’re just too dumb. I know what kind of books you want, but regretfully, the books you want are incredibly rare, even in the S-rank area.”

Xiao Lin was dumbfounded.

“The S-rank area is meant for professors and researchers. How could those books that are truly secrets be left there for them?” After pausing, Song Junlang suddenly had a strange smile. “Have you heard of the restricted area?”

“The restricted area?” Xiao Lin suddenly remembered that night when he just entered the academy. Someone had asked him if he wanted to sneak into the restricted area when he was being questioned.

Song Junlang nodded. “The library has a basement, and all the restricted books with absolute secrets are stored there. If you want to know any secrets, I think you’ll be able to find your answers there.”

“Since it’s restricted, then it will be very hard to apply for entry.”

“Apply? Put it this way; even the president doesn’t have the power to enter alone. There is no way to apply for entry. Only with the collective signatures of the dean and the defense minister can anyone enter. Also, why are you looking at me with that expression?”

Xiao Lin coughed dryly. “If that’s the case, why don’t you let me use that emblem of yours.”

“Impossible!” Song Junlang rejected flatly, raising his arms helplessly. “Don’t think that that emblem is omnipotent. Every time it’s used, it will mobilize a lot of people. Put it this way, in the past few days, the leaders of the colonist territories have constantly been calling me. I’m someone who wants to maintain a low profile, so I’m not planning on using that for at least another year.”

Xiao Lin held his tongue, abandoning that train of thought too. Even though he did not agree that Song Junlang was someone who maintained a low profile, if the emblem really mobilized so many people, it was not a good idea to ask for Song Junlang’s help. Yu Mei and the others had sent him back so he could temporarily avoid the gazes of the important figures, and Xiao Lin did not want to become the focus of everyone.
