It was also in Xia Ziling's live stream that he used her tens of thousands of fans to become popular online with this song.

This is an unchangeable fact.

Perhaps if I were to switch to another person to do the live stream, I could achieve the same effect, but the fact is that I used Xia Ziling's method.

After hearing Xu Fan's words, Chen Yuanyuan shook her head and said, "You and she are close, so of course you don't need to care, but I don't know what your fans will think."

Xu Fan nodded and said, "I understand."

This is a difficult thing to explain clearly, and it's impossible to expect fans to understand, since Xia Ziling did indeed do something wrong.

Xu Fan understood, but when he unexpectedly received a reply from Douyin and gained an extra source of income, he was still very happy.

Although Xia Ziling never said it, Xu Fan knew that all the revenue from Xia Ziling's live stream went to him.

These are things that have never been said aloud, and that netizens have no way of knowing.

Perhaps it's also my fault for never saying these things.

Chen Yuanyuan continued, "Anyway, Lingling felt guilty, so she really wanted to get that book and give it to you. But because of that, what I can't understand is why, in the end, when you found it yourself, she didn't give you the book she had worked so hard to find, and even pretended to be very happy. Later I realized that what she wanted was for you to get what you wanted, not that what you wanted must be given to you by her."

This sentence was difficult to understand, but Xu Fan still got it. However, he didn't want to discuss it, so he asked, "And then?"

Chen Yuanyuan knew the three words were a question, and Xia Ziling knew what would happen after the dungeon appeared, so she continued, "Then Lingling couldn't wait to ask the administrator how to get the book. The administrator poured a glass of water from the side and said, 'Don't rush, have a drink of water first.'"

At the time, Lingling didn't think too much about it. She had traveled a long and bumpy road to find the book, and thought she would have no news. She had no choice but to go home, but then she suddenly heard that there was a dungeon, so she was naturally happy.

And she was indeed a little thirsty, so after taking the cup and saying thank you, she drank it down.

Xu Fan felt that the action of drinking water was somewhat familiar, especially the phrase, "Have a sip of water first," which seemed to have been said to him by someone, but he couldn't remember.

Then Chen Yuanyuan continued, "Lingling drank that glass of water. Perhaps because she was very thirsty, she drank it all."

Xu Fan suddenly remembered that when he first saw Xia Ziling, she was pale. After taking her to the hospital, the hospital said she had eaten something that made her sick.

He couldn't help but ask, "Are you saying there's something wrong with the water she drank?"

Chen Yuanyuan nodded and said, "After finishing her drink, she continued to ask about the book, but for some reason, her eyes were filled with drowsiness. She forced herself to fall asleep while trying to figure out what had happened. But she didn't sleep soundly; she was just drowsy and weak all over."

She only felt that the administrator in front of her, that is, the woman, was helping her walk in a certain direction. She didn't know where they went. Anyway, it took her quite a while before she felt a little more awake.

But by then she had arrived at a place resembling a laboratory, with dozens, even hundreds, of people, each wearing a white lab coat and dark glasses. She was terrified; the feeling was like being suddenly taken away and used as a lab rat, filling her with dread.

Xu Fan listened quietly. She could imagine how desperate and terrified Xia Ziling must have felt when she saw this scene, all because she wanted to find that book for herself.

Xu Fan then realized that the system's tasks were never that simple.

What we call simplicity is just our own perception of simplicity.

It's very possible that someone you care about is working incredibly hard for their mission, but you just don't know it.

Chen Yuanyuan continued, "She didn't know where she was, or what would happen next. She felt her legs trembling, a kind of shivering sensation. Luckily, someone patted her on the shoulder and comforted her, saying, 'Don't be afraid.' The person who spoke was the female administrator. She added, 'You're just a little tired. We won't hurt you.'"

After saying the second sentence, the female administrator added, "If you want a copy of that book, there's only one requirement: enter the space capsule and stay for half an hour. Are you willing?"

When Chen Yuanyuan got to this point, she suddenly became a little nervous. She looked at Xu Fan and said, "Xu Fan, do you know, when I was listening to this story, even though I knew that Lingling had already gotten the book, I still said with some concern, 'If it were me, I would definitely give up.'"

But Lingling told me at the time that her mind was completely blank, and the danger signals were very clear. However, when she heard that she only needed to enter the space capsule for half an hour to get the book, she nodded without hesitation.

Upon hearing this, Xu Fan's emotions were also stirred, and he felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

Chen Yuanyuan continued, "To be honest, even though I already knew she really did it, I was still curious about why she would make that choice, or rather, the female administrator was also curious. So when the female administrator saw Lingling's affirmative and definite answer, she also asked, 'Are you sure? Aren't you going to ask what the space capsule is for?'"

Lingling told me that she couldn't think of much at the time; fear and dread dominated her mind. Her only courage came from the thought that since she was already here, finding the book was the most important thing. So when the female manager asked her a question, she shook her head and simply said, "I don't know."

Although Lingling's answer was somewhat indifferent, the female manager hadn't actually harmed her. She simply explained that it involved sitting in a closed room and being shaken 360 degrees for half an hour, during which time she would feel extremely dizzy and might even go into shock. Upon hearing this, Lingling didn't hesitate; perhaps her mind was completely blank at that moment.

Xu Fan said, "I thought it was a space capsule experience, like a vacuum environment."

Chen Yuanyuan said, "It's hard to say exactly, but what Lingling told me was that the half hour she experienced was the most painful thing she had ever experienced in her life, with dizziness, nausea, pain, and despair."

But the result was satisfactory, even though she came out feeling lost and disoriented, she had finally obtained the book she wanted. However, by the time she got the book, she was already in the library.

Xu Fan asked in confusion, "So, she didn't know where that so-called laboratory was? She was taken there because of the water, and brought back because of dizziness."

Chen Yuanyuan nodded and said, "That's right, so she didn't know, but her body wasn't subjected to any of the injuries she feared. She just experienced an unforgettable process, but she vowed never to go through it again in her life. But she's glad she got what she wanted."

After getting the book, Lingling left the library. Because she wasn't dizzy, she accidentally fell into the water. You know the rest of the story; when we saw her, her dizziness had subsided considerably, perhaps due to the lake water, or perhaps due to the incident itself.

Xu Fan nodded and said, "No wonder she refused when I first asked her to go to the hospital. So, the doctor's diagnosis was that she had an upset stomach, not because of some snack, but because of that glass of water."

Chen Yuanyuan said, "Lingling did lie about this at the time. She said she didn't want you to worry."

Xu Fan nodded, but he wasn't in a particularly good mood. The story seemed simple, but the process was actually quite thrilling and unpleasant.

Xia Ziling went through so much for me, but she didn't say a word to me.

Xu Fan asked, "So, you came to the library to find the laboratory she mentioned?"

Chen Yuanyuan said, "Yes, but ultimately, I'm worried about Lingling's health; it's not as simple as she told me."

Hearing this, Xu Fan couldn't help but get nervous and asked, "You mean, there were any aftereffects from that glass of water?"

Chen Yuanyuan shook her head and said, "And the other half of the space capsule disappeared. Assuming that laboratory really exists, why would they let Lingling stay inside for half an hour?"

What kind of experiment would require spending half an hour in a space capsule? Moreover, I don't believe that a laboratory should just end an experiment without any results. Although I hate to admit it, if what Lingling experienced in this process is true, then she really was a guinea pig.

I know this sounds a bit harsh, but it's the truth, so I'm really worried, especially since I've tried to contact them countless times recently, but I haven't been able to reach them. At first, we could get in touch, but later…

Xu Fan said, "I tried to contact them later, but I still couldn't reach them."

===Chapter 350 Location of the Eighth Floor===

Later on, everyone went through their own experiences.

These things are different, but they were all together at some point in their lives, perhaps watching movies together, perhaps attending classes together, perhaps shopping together.

No one knows what happened to Xia Ziling afterward, and Chen Yuanyuan tried to contact her countless times but could not reach her.

Xu Fan also tried and contacted them, but the result was the same.

Zhao Feiyang had also contacted them before, but they both thought that after graduation, they would never see each other again.

Xu Fan now realized that he had oversimplified everything.

There's a saying: "Those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly."

Being in the thick of it all without understanding the underlying principles is sometimes truly pathetic. Chen Yuanyuan, having witnessed their experiences, understands more, yet she remains worried because she too is unable to contact Xia Ziling.

Every question Chen Yuanyuan raised had merit, but they all sounded somewhat eerie.

It's easy to make someone fall into a coma with a glass of water.

But the key question is, why would the librarian do that?

And why Xia Ziling?

And where is that laboratory?

Why make Xia Ziling stay in the space capsule for half an hour? What is the point of this?

These are questions that Chen Yuanyuan wants to know, and now, Xu Fan also wants to know.

Chen Yuanyuan said, "So, I've been here for several days. I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I haven't encountered any of the problems that Lingling mentioned. Although the administrator is also a woman, the key point is that she doesn't care about checking these information at all. I don't know if she doesn't care at all or if she feels that she can't find anything. They've been bringing me my meals for the past few days. Of course, another reason for this is that I have enough money."

Xu Fan ignored her words: "As long as the money is enough."

Instead, he focused his attention on Chen Yuanyuan's earlier words and asked in confusion, "You mean, you encountered a female administrator?"

Xu Fan was wondering why he had encountered a man and a young girl.

Chen Yuanyuan nodded and said, "That's right, could it be..."

She paused at this point and said, "Maybe it's just a shift change."

This was the second time he'd offered this explanation, so Xu Fan figured it was plausible. Then he asked, "Besides the guitar building which was completed in just seven hours, have you found any other information?"

Chen Yuanyuan shook her head helplessly and said, "I've searched through almost all the books, but oh right, there's this too."

Chen Yuanyuan was initially somewhat disappointed, but suddenly her eyes lit up as she remembered something. She rummaged through the secretary's belongings next to her for a while, found a book, placed it in front of Xu Fan, opened it, and said, "Look here."

Xu Fan looked on curiously. The book was entirely in English, but it didn't pose any problem for him. Chen Yuanyuan said to him, "It describes the construction of this library. The library we see now has seven floors, but it shows eight floors here. It just says that the last floor is a small, secret room. I'm wondering if there might be some information we need in there, or maybe it's a laboratory."

Xu Fan frowned, shook his head, and said, "We can't determine whether something exists based on a single book."

Chen Yuanyuan nodded and said, "I know, but we can go and take a look."

Before Xu Fan arrived, Chen Yuanyuan was all alone, but now she has more courage because she has someone by her side.

Xu Fan nodded and said, "In that case, let's go up and take a look."

There were only two people in the glass room, and they were talking about something they wanted to know.

As they prepared to leave, Chen Yuanyuan picked up a book from the table and said, "Help me hold this, I'll put the book back."

After reading books in the library, I categorize them.

Xu Fan nodded, picked up a stack, and the two left the glass room.

Suddenly, the room became empty; there were no books, and no one.

There was only one camera, quietly hanging in the corner.

After putting the books away, the two went to the third-floor stairwell, looked down, but didn't see anyone.

Chen Yuanyuan said, "There are very few people in the library, let's go straight up."

Xu Fan nodded, a hint of doubt in his mind, but he didn't voice it.

The library, which has no elevator, relies entirely on corner staircases, meaning that if they want to get to the seventh floor, they have to climb up one floor after another.

Fortunately, they were already on the third floor, so they only needed to climb four more floors.

The spiral staircase leads all the way up, and the fourth floor is still just rows and rows of books, nothing special.

The fifth floor has fewer books, and the selection seems simpler. What's unusual is that there are two rooms, as there are two locked doors not far away.

Upon reaching the sixth floor, Chen Yuanyuan said in confusion, "How strange, why are all the bookshelves on the sixth floor empty?"

Xu Fan shook his head and asked in confusion, "You've been here so long and haven't come up here once?"

Chen Yuanyuan said, "I came up here when I first arrived, and there were rows and rows of books here too, but why are they gone now?"

Xu Fan had more doubts in his mind, but he said, "It's probably because the library has been renovated and moved to a new location. Don't overthink it."

Chen Yuanyuan nodded, and the two of them went up the stairs again.
