Chapter 153 Dinner With Nerds

Chapter 153 Dinner With Nerds

The night in the EIA base was cold and silent, with only a few students moving through the long streets, in twos or threes.

"Cold. Is it nearing winter..." Zeras muttered feeling the abrupt decrease in temperature that could only signify it was slowly closing in on winter.

But the cold wasn't a problem, at least to the Awakeners. All sorts of harrowing degrees of temperature can withstand as their Cultivation increases.

Those at the Cosmic Rank stage are even able to ignore the effect of gravity while Galaxy Rank experts are even able to stay in space without wearing a spacesuit.

This was just how quickly awakeners can become immune to anything and are vastly greater than regular humans.

Dragging the travel bag on the ground, its tires making a rolling noise that echoed in the silence, Zeras moved towards the Interdimensional combat hall, and in just five minutes, he arrived before the large structure, his hands pushing it open as he entered into the place before heading towards the door at the corner that led to the teleporter.

A small table had been placed in the ExcelSpace Lab, which seated a group of four including Instructor Moneca, Egon, Annalise, and the gooish-skinned Evan.

On the table were different dishes, strange fishes, fruits, edible leaves, and bottles of drinks.

The four slowly raised their spoon as they dug into the food but here and now, they would turn to stare at the empty fifth seat on the table that was unoccupied but the space was left.

The atmosphere was melancholic and filled with silence but that was broken by the noise of the door violently blown open and jumping into it was a Zeras who flung the travel bag in his hands on the floor as he took in breaths as fast as he could.

"Tch, Damn it, they couldn't make the lab any simpler to find..." Zeras murmured angrily.

He had walked around the entire structure, entering into different labs where he almost got roasted alive, only now did he know just how good it was to increase his speed.

Finally after waking around the structures, climbing hundreds of steps. He finally arrived in this place and he noticed the ExcelSpace Lab at the top of the door, something he didn't understand how he formerly failed to notice.

"Mph, Mph..." Zeras suddenly sniffed as he took notice of a strange smell in the air that made his stomach give an angry roar of a lion.

Zeras slowly turned and looking at him with a raised eyebrow were the four psychopathic nerds.

Zeras looked dumbly as he couldn't believe they'd been sitting down there since he entered the place yet he still didn't sense them.

Zeras slowly entered the room taking in the fresh breath of books smelling in the room.

Zeras dropped his travel bag at the side of his shelves before landing on the bed tiredly.

Activating his Chaotic Existence Skill, Hollow Domain caused a great amount of pain to him and also swallowed away his energy like a whale.

HHiswalking here was already quite the effort as he relied mainly on his Mana to stop himself from fainting on his way. Thankfully, the small meal gave him quite the energy to continue.

Zeras felt the softness of the sofa and to be honest. It wasn't as bad as he thought. He could at least say it was around 60% just as soft as the bed in his dorm room.

Zeras stretched out his hands, mistakenly knocking them on the shelve beside the sofa.

His hands simply entered into the shelf as he picked a simple uninteresting book among the millions present.

Looking at the cover were the words:

INTRODUCTION TO SPACE ENGINEERING.

"Hmm, let's see just what this is all about..." Zeras immediately opened to the first page and began reading the textbook with a lackadaisical attitude but after 3 minutes, he slowly sat upright as he began reading seriously, the sound of page shuffling resounding throughout the entire room, with a speed that would have made the fastest human reader collapse in shock.

30 minutes later...

"Interesting, really interesting..." Zeras slowly closed the book having read its 1054 pages in less than 35 minutes.

The content of the book was something he had never heard of before and he was like a sponge absorbing an endless amount of knowledge into his head.

Due to his increased intelligence, Zeras was able to completely digest the entire content of ten books and could say everything from head to toe from the heart if asked.

Dropping the book on the table, he immediately began the next one, and then the next one, and the next one.

Instructor Moneca arrived at the door and pushed it open but raised an eyebrow when she saw a total of 100 books lying on the table while Zeras sat there completely absorbed, not even noticing her entrance.

'He can't have read all those books on the table finish right?'
