God-Level Game Developer System: I Brought In-Game Items To Real World - Chapter 97

Chapter 97: Secret Passage In The Library
Hearing Kuroneko’s question, Winston answered, “No need to return. Let’s continue the search. We don’t know when the luxury cruise ship will arrive at Vacation Paradise Island.”

“The luxury cruise ship must be a special event of this game so there might be useful game items here that will be a game breaker in the later stages of Cozy Vacation Life. Even if there aren’t, it’s at least worth the try.”

Receiving Winston’s answer, Kuroneko agreed to it.

Without any hesitation, Kuroneko forwarded his hand towards Winston and gave him the silver engagement ring.

“You can hold onto this. At least, you can protect it better than me. Furthermore, if there are monsters and evil spirits, I still have to sacrifice myself so it’s more convenient if you hold onto this rather than me.

Winston nodded his head and agreed with Kuroneko. he received the silver engagement ring from him and with that, he both had the golden engagement ring and silver engagement ring.

Although both Winston and Kuroneko didn’t know about the effects of those two engagement rings, they still felt that they should have some use or else they wouldn’t be sunk under the swimming pool.

It was worth noting that the passengers of the luxury cruise ship were only the players and the staff. There weren’t any other passengers in the luxury cruise ship which meant that the two engagement rings were unlikely to be the lost items of a passenger.

In other words, the chances of the two engagement rings being a useful game item was high.

Having found something in the pool area, Winston and Kuroneko became more motivated to search the entire pool area. They didn’t stop searching just because they found the two engagement rings. Instead, they continued their search.

…

In the library, Bianca and GoldMiner were busy searching for grimoires or any books that would be considered game items.

In the luxury cruise ship, the library was as large as a medium-sized public library so it took Bianca and GoldMiner a lot of effort to search through all of it.

It would be impossible to search everything in the library but Bianca and GoldMiner didn’t give up. There was already a pile of books scattered on the floors but the two of them didn’t care.

After all, there are a lot of butlers and maids in the luxury cruise ship so Bianca and GoldMiner decided to let them deal with cleaning up their mess. What was more important was finding a game item that would increase the chances of clearing Cozy Vacation Life.

“Bianca, did you find anything?”

GoldMiner shouted while he was searching a bookshelf far away from Bianca. Since there were only the two of them in the library, GoldMiner’s words resounded inside the library and it was impossible for Bianca to not hear them.

Hearing GoldMiner’s inquiry, Bianca replied, “I still haven’t found anything.”

“Aside from just some normal books, there doesn’t seem to be anything here.”

While replying to GoldMiner, Bianca was searching through the tall bookshelf in front of her.

Bianca’s movements were swift and rapid. She would take a book from the bookshelf, and flip the pages hastily, before placing it on the ground. She repeated that action of hers throughout every book that she picked up from the bookshelves.

She speculated that the game item was likely a book or it was placed inside a book. Because of that, she would read the title on the book’s cover first before she would flip the pages to check if there was something stored inside the book.

Unfortunately, she and GoldMiner didn’t find anything.

“Sigh. Still no game items.”

Bianca sighed after she took the last book from a tall shelf. After she read the book cover title which was “Wolf Sex And Arabian Nights Cook Book” and found that it wasn’t anything special, she flipped the pages tediously without reading the content on it.

In the end, there was nothing stored in that book so Bianca could only discard it and place it on the floor.

Of course, she could have chosen to return the book to the bookshelf after she finished checking on it. But if she did that, it would take her a lot more effort to find the ones she hadn’t checked yet. And she also thought of the possibility of the bookshelves hiding something so she emptied the bookshelves and checked it but still found nothing.

Furthermore, this wasn’t the real world so Bianca didn’t have to worry about her actions causing trouble for her. If this was the real world, she would have been fined for her misbehavior.

While Bianca was regretful that she still hadn’t discovered any game items, she noticed that the bookshelf right next to her was quite odd.

The bookshelf was quite dusty which was normal since it was in the back corner section of the library which was the least used.

“How odd. The bookshelf is dusty, but there is one book that seems to have the least amount of dust. The rest of the books have visible dust on them while that one book doesn’t have any.”

“It could only mean that it was used frequently.”

Finding such an anomaly among the other books on the bookshelf, Bianca stretched out her hand towards it and wanted to take it out of curiosity.

But when Bianca took the book, she realized that it was halfway stuck as if something glued it in place.

However, before she could forcefully take it away from the bookshelf, Bianca heard a sound coming out from the bookshelf. The sound was like she had triggered a hidden mechanism installed within the bookshelf.

“Is this what I think it is?”

Bianca muttered with a questioning look as she gazed at the dusty bookshelf in front of her.

Several seconds after she triggered a hidden mechanism, the bookshelf moved backward. Afterward, it parted in the middle and was separated into two parts like a door, and it opened.

The opening showed a stone staircase that led underground.

Discovering a secret passage, Bianca’s eyes lit up with excitement and she immediately yelled, “GoldMiner, come over here! I found a secret passage!”
