'Wyatt, you are now a 6th grade contributor to the Infinity Library. A grade higher than the required grade to unlock the executive function of your VVIP membership. Now all you are missing is the million reading hours,' Dredre reported to Wyatt after submitting the books he gave to the Infinity Library under his membership. 

Wyatt was surprised by the contribution the astronomy books brought him, he was directly promoted to a 6th-grade contributor when one had to be a 7th-grade contributor to satisfy the condition to unlock executive function, it looked like he did not need to write the books on genetics. 

However, this also made it seem like earning a contribution by submitting books was easier than Wyatt had previously thought. So Wyatt could not help but ask Dredre, 'Why are my contributions so high?'

'That is because your books explore relatively fresh and new theories compared to books in Infinity Library on similar topics, therefore they earned more contributions,' Dredre explained to Wyatt through her demon merchant codex while accompanying Ann and Aria.

'Wait, the library was able to calculate the contribution of my books by comparing it with other books in the library so fast then why is my search taking so long?' Wyatt asked Dredre about the search related to Bloodette and Cortney's condition, so far not it was without any conclusion. 

'Wyatt there is a separate array formation to calculate the contribution points which follows a unique array model specifically designed to calculate the value of a book. Besides the parameters of your custom search are very complicated. It is a surprise that the library array accepted such a wide search,' Dredre informed Wyatt that he should be happy that the library array was accommodating his demanding custom instead of complaining that it was taking too long. 

'...' Wyatt was without words but soon thought he should look at the bright side that he was now a 6th-grade contributor to the Infinity Library. However, the only advantage of having this title was that he could collect partial royalty on the books he contributed to the Infinity Library if he were to unlock his executive function. 

Wyatt was not enthused about collecting royalty on these books as he believed nobody in the myriad realms had the money or the time to study astronomy books from an unknown realm and race. Once he becomes known across the myriad realms, then these books may be popular but until such time they would eat dust in some corner of the Infinity Library. 

The only thing that enthused Wyatt about him becoming a 6th-grade contributor to the Infinity Library was that with this he had won the wager between him and Zaltan. He could not wait to collect his winnings for that heartless and conniving bastard, 'Dredre, could you help me inform Zaltan that I have officially become a 6th-grade contributor to the Infinity Library and would like his help unlocking the executive function of my VVIP membership.' 

Dredre was happy for Wyatt and immediately called Zaltan believing that her young master would be happy to learn that her friend had not let them down and proven himself. She totally misinterpreted the Zaltan intention behind his wager to Wyatt. In her eyes, the Librarian and anybody related to him were her benefactors so it was not surprising why she would think as such. For a simpleton who saw the world through a single lens, this was not unexpected. 

'Dredre, you called again. Any problem? Is Wyatt troubling you?' receiving a call from Dredre for the second time in a short span, Zaltan was surprised.

Zaltan immediately thought the reason Dredre called him was because Wyatt was pestering her to help him earn the contribution to the Infinity Library just like how he pestered them to help with the million reading hour condition to unlock the executive function. Having grown up among the Pixies, he knew how they functioned so thought Poor Dredre had no choice but to cave to Wyatt's pestering and call him begging to help Wyatt with earning contributions to Infinity Library. 

Zaltan had already guessed Wyatt would resort to something like this when he was at the end of his ropes as the time limit of their wager was nearing but he did not think Wyatt would resort to it so soon. It seems Wyatt was not even going to try to win the wager normal way. Thinking of this Zaltan praised himself for having the foreknowledge to add the condition that their wager with Wyatt should not affect the relationship between Dredre and Wyatt negatively otherwise they would win the wager by default. 

This second condition proposed by Zaltan was too broad, it could be loosely interpreted in many ways. Zaltan had masked the abnormality of this condition by purposefully making his next condition malicious, which allowed them to win the wager in case of Wyatt's death. The third condition was so obvious because it was meant to grab the attention of Wyatt while they silently sneaked the second condition into the contract. And it worked like a charm. 

Under the terms of the second condition of the wager, Wyatt pestering Dredre to help him with the wager would be considering him letting the wager negatively affect his relationship with Dredre which would mean that Zaltan had won the wager by default. So seeing Dredre call him for the second time in a short period, Zaltan began to celebrate his victory believing that he had already won the wager between them and Wyatt. 

'No, young master, Wyatt is not troubling me. I am calling you again because—' Dredre was puzzled why Zaltan would think Wyatt would trouble her but she did not take it to mind and proceeded to inform him about the wager between them and Wyatt but Zaltan interrupted her midway saying, 'Dredre, you don't have to cover for Wyatt. Be honest, he will not be in any form of trouble I promise. I will talk to Wyatt.'
