September 2nd.
In the morning, half past seven.
Lin You had just finished breakfast when he heard a noise from his number.
One look and a smile appeared on his face.
The mission reward has arrived, a total of 500 duel points.
In total, the current accumulated duel points have reached 1698 points.
Amazing numbers!
It is especially hard to imagine for a freshman who has just enrolled.
But there is no way, because Lin You is very hardworking and has many ways to make money.
Of course, the most important thing is that he is strong enough and capable of earning so much.
With these duel points, I won’t have to worry about magic replenishment for at least a few months.
He now uses magic supplements quite frequently, twice a week on average.
Assuming that each time it is a large magic crystal, the consumption in a week is 60, and the consumption in a month is 240 duel points.
All in all, I have been able to hold on for more than half a year.
But in fact, it cannot be calculated in this way. After all, the further you go, the harder it is to increase your magic power, and the requirements for magic supplements will naturally increase, and the cost will be greater.
But that’s enough!
Besides, it’s not like he’s spending more than he earns. He spends a lot but also earns a lot!
Lin You also hopes that his magic power can break through as soon as possible. Once it breaks through 500 points, he can try using mid-level magic supplements.
That involves an achievement sequence. The first use of a mid-level tonic will definitely trigger the achievement reward.
After thinking for a while, Lin You cleaned up the table and quickly went out.
On the way to the advanced class, I received a lot of surprised looks.
What's going on again?
Lin You was confused.
Although similar looks had been received many times before due to various amazing deeds, they had gradually returned to normal in the past period of time.
After all, no matter how shocking something is, it will become commonplace after seeing it many times.
But now, there are some signs of returning to the 'peak'.
As I was walking, I ran into someone head-on.
acquaintance!
"Oh my, isn't this Brother You?"
Guo Rui came over with a smile, his eyes narrowed into slits, his face full of admiration, his hands raised exaggeratedly, and said: "Brother You, my Superman!"
"Get lost."
Lin You glared at Guo Rui, who was about to give him a hug, and cursed, "Have you been making too much money lately? Is your brain going crazy?"
Guo Rui stopped, unconcerned, and continued with a smile, "Lin You, seriously, I have to admire you. It's only been a few days since we last met, and you've already taken down that icy beauty from the second grade so quietly. You're so ruthless!"
"Someone is just bored and has nothing to do, just chatting nonsense."
Lin You was speechless and immediately understood what was going on.
Perhaps the news about Hua Peiling's mission outside the university was spread by someone on the university forum.
What the hell is going on? It's amazing that you can make so many connections just by doing a task together!
"Nothing else?"
Lin You glanced at Guo Rui and said, "If you have nothing to do, then don't get in the way."
"No, something's wrong, something's wrong!"
Seeing Lin You was about to leave, Guo Rui became anxious and quickly turned around to stop him.
"Go ahead, I told you there's no need to be so boring."
Lin You had already seen it.
chance encounter?
Bullshit.
Guo Rui was waiting for him, otherwise he wouldn't appear near the Red Building. He was not a student in the advanced class.
Without further ado, Guo Rui said directly, "This is it, Lin You. There have been rumors recently that at the end of the year, students in our advanced class will be gathered for special training. Not only our university, but also top students from several other prestigious universities in Jiangcheng will be included. The special training will last for a full month, and the benefits should be very high."
"Concentrated special training?"
Lin You was a little surprised, and as for the "we" mentioned by Guo Rui, he automatically ignored it.
Although this kid is not a student in the advanced class now, it shouldn't be a problem for him to get in before the end of the year.
After pondering for a moment, Lin You continued, "You said to take them out. If it's not on campus, then what other suitable place is there? Could it be a secret place?"
Speaking of this, I feel a little excited.
Guo Rui nodded repeatedly and said excitedly, "It hasn't been fully explained yet, but it's pretty close. Since it's a training camp, and it's definitely not in our university, then other universities are out of the question. Apart from the major universities, where else is suitable for long-term special training? It must be the secret realm!"
"That's good news."
When it comes to secret places, Lin You has always been longing for them.
Putting aside the danger, his biggest understanding of the secret realm is that it is a place to make a lot of money!
However, is the special training location really a secret place?
It’s hard to say, actually. Didn’t Teacher Shang say that these students will have the opportunity to come into contact with the secret realm before graduation?
It's talking about before graduation, without mentioning the specific time, but the word "graduation" is specifically mentioned. Generally speaking, shouldn't it be more closely related to the third or fourth grade?
If it’s earlier, it would be about the same time as the second grade.
How long have they been in school?
Even if the training camp starts at the end of the year, it will only last about four months.
Thinking of this, Lin You felt that the chances were slim.
If the training target is an individual, then it is not a big deal. They have been directly "packed up and taken away" from the advanced class and sent to the secret realm. The chances are really slim.
His thoughts changed, but Guo Rui was still excited. "So, Lin You, I hope you can protect me more during this training camp. It might be another chaotic battle."
"Let's talk about it later."
Lin You did not comment.
Guo Rui didn't force it. Lin You and he were just ordinary friends at most. He was not his biological father, so how could he take care of him in everything?
He understood this in his heart. Talking too much would annoy people, and if he was not careful, the relationship might be damaged.
So this time, he just mentioned it briefly to let Lin You know about it and some of his thoughts.
After saying that, Guo Rui smiled again and said, "Well, I'll be leaving first. I have to work hard during this period of time. Don't let yourself fall behind by the end of the year and not be able to enter the advanced class. I'll cry my heart out!"
Lin You chuckled softly and said, "It's harder than you might think to get into the advanced class now. You're so well-informed, how could you not have heard that no one in Class A passed the monthly exam this time?"
"Isn't that the first monthly exam? Everyone still hasn't figured out the situation?"
Guo Rui wasn't frightened. Instead, he smiled and said, "Besides, it's actually because those people didn't do their homework enough. You could also say they were too reckless. If it were me, I wouldn't be so careless. Stability is the first priority."
"As long as you have confidence."
Lin You had no doubt about this.
Guo Rui is a guy who usually plans for a long time before doing anything. He has a smart mind and good communication skills. Now he is doing very well in the school.
I have been a little low-key recently, but if I do make a splash, I will make a big splash.
…
After communicating for a while, the two left and Lin You entered the Red Mansion.
Soon, I entered the advanced class.
Hello everyone, our official account will give out cash and point red envelopes every day. Just follow us and you can claim them. This is the last welfare at the end of the year, please seize the opportunity. Official account 【Book Friends Base Camp】
Not long after he entered, a man saw him and immediately stood up, looking very excited, and kept waving, "Brother Xiaoyou, this way, this way."
Lin You was very calm and was not surprised.
It’s Chu Ke. This girl has always been very noisy and makes a lot of noise all day long.
Walking over, Lin You sat down and said with a smile: "What's wrong? What good thing happened? Why are you smiling so happily?"
For some reason, Chu Ke suddenly stopped smiling, but looking at the smile that remained at the corner of her mouth, it seemed quite forced.
How to say it.
Her acting is too poor, not on the same level as Hua Peiling.
"It's not a good thing, it's a serious problem!"
Zu Ke had a stern face, crossed his arms, and turned his head away in an awkward manner.
Lin You just smiled and said nothing.
After a long silence, Zu Ke was the first to lose his temper, "Brother Xiaoyou, shouldn't you be asking what happened now?"
"As long as you're happy."
Lin You smiled and said, "Respected Miss Chu Ke, may I ask what happened?"
Chu Ke nodded in satisfaction and smiled, but then he immediately felt something was wrong and put away his smile. He said solemnly, "Brother Xiaoyou, did you go out alone with that beautiful girl from the second grade yesterday? Please answer directly."
"yes."
Lin You didn't say much and simply admitted it. He wanted to see what tricks this girl could come up with.
But Chu Ke immediately responded with displeasure, "That's outrageous! What you've done to Sister Yuxuan is putting her in such a bad place. Have you ever considered how she'd feel? Imagine how Sister Yuxuan would feel after hearing this news, tossing and turning in the middle of the night, tears streaming down her face, overcome with grief. Wouldn't you feel guilty and heartbroken?"
What?
Sister Yuxuan?
Qi Yuxuan?
Lin You, who was lazily leaning on the chair, moved his body and almost slipped out. How did he get involved with Qi Yuxuan?
"Are you panicking now?"
Chu Ke snorted, "As expected, they say men are fickle and only understand true love after losing it. It's so true. Even a man as outstanding as Brother Xiaoyou is no exception, let alone others."
At this point, he suddenly leaned towards Lin You, lowered his voice, and covered his mouth with his hands, saying: "But Brother Xiao You, having said that, I can actually understand you very well. Sometimes, when a man is too outstanding, even if he doesn't mean it, he can't avoid attracting women. Maybe this is because his charm has nowhere to go."
"So, whether it's Sister Yuxuan or that beautiful girl from the second grade, it's perfectly normal for them to be attracted by your charm. To be honest, I'm not ashamed to say that I'm attracted to you too. If I hadn't fallen for Xiao Yi first, I wouldn't be able to talk to you so calmly."
At this point, Chu Ke said earnestly, "Brother Xiaoyou, personally, I'm still on your side. If you really choose someone else, I'll help you comfort Sister Yuxuan. Just follow your heart. Don't..."
"Ahem."
Before she finished speaking, Lin You suddenly coughed twice and gave her a secret wink.
Chu Ke was so excited that he didn't notice anything. He patted his chest and promised, "Accompany Sister Yuxuan through her sad period of heartbreak. Just leave this important task to me. I will definitely...ah, it hurts!"
His words got stuck again, and not only that, Zu Ke quickly reached out to protect his ears.
Someone pinched her ears!
It takes a lot of force!
While protecting his ears, Chu Ke turned around angrily and was about to yell, but when he saw a familiar face with a 'kind' smile, he suddenly felt like an eggplant hit by frost.
The whole person is wilted!
He didn't even care about the pain and just stood there like a primary school student who had made a mistake.
Not daring to raise his head, he nervously rubbed his index fingers together and stammered, "Sister Yu... Sister Yuxuan, did you hear what I just said?"
"I didn't hear it."
Qi Yuxuan still smiled, "Could you please tell me now, Chu Ke, I'm very curious."
Chu Ke was so frightened that he shut up and dared not respond.
Seeing that she was obedient, Qi Yuxuan tapped her head gently again, then looked at Lin You and said helplessly: "Don't mind those words. This girl has read too many romance novels, and her mind is full of fantasy plots."
"I know."
Lin You also shook his head with a smile, but Chu Ke couldn't help but mutter, "It's obviously not a lie...ah."
My ears hurt again, and I became quiet again.
After a moment, several people sat down again.
Qi Yuxuan asked, "Lin You, are new students allowed to participate in the missions released by the school now?"
She also heard about Lin You's mission yesterday and had some thoughts about it.
If you can go out on a mission, you can earn a lot of extra money and fill some of the idle time.
When it comes to cultivation, Qi Yuxuan is extremely talented and diligent.
It has been like this since ancient times.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be what she is today.
In terms of strength, even in the advanced class, she is among the top ones.
Lin You nodded and said, "Of course, it's possible, but it requires a second-year student on the list to lead the group. The minimum requirement is that the person leading the group must be a student in our advanced class. However, we can't take the initiative to accept them. This is not open yet. We have to wait until after the New Year. This is the restriction for last year's old students."
"Okay, thanks, I understand."
Qi Yuxuan thanked him and said, "It's quite comfortable."
There was no further talk about this. As Chu Ke was banned from speaking and it was getting late, more and more people started to gather in the classroom and the class was about to begin. After a brief chat, the two of them quietly waited for the class to start.
The open class starts on time at 8:30.
Soon, the class was over after a few hours.
After school, Lin You did not go to the cafeteria, but casually got a bowl of instant noodles at a nearby convenience store.
After finishing his meal in a few bites, he ran to his mentor Lin.
After yesterday's battle, Lin You always felt that his soul power seemed to have loosened.
This loosening is naturally a good thing.
This may mean that the 300 spiritual power barrier that was previously stuck is about to be broken through.
Therefore, Lin You was quite active in class today.
…
Mentor Lin.
Black Source Laboratory.
A day later, upon seeing Lin You walk in, Hei Yuan frowned and asked, "How come you have some dark aura on you? What happened yesterday?"
Lin You was a little surprised, "Teacher, you can see that? You have good eyesight."
He was really surprised. He himself didn't feel anything at all, but Hei Yuan saw through it at a glance?
He didn't hesitate, and after a moment, he quickly said, "Yesterday in the Mutated Cave, I had terrible luck. I ran into a Dark Duelist hiding inside, and he used a Soul Devouring Creature to drag me into the Dark Game."
"Dark Duelist?"
Hei Yuan's expression changed slightly, and he suddenly cursed, "How can the Duelist Association and the Executive Bureau do their job? They haven't noticed such a major security risk. If something goes wrong, who will be held responsible? They've forgotten the pain after the wound has healed. What a bunch of good-for-nothings!"
Lin You was surprised. He didn't expect that the teacher's "quality" would be so impressive.
But just as he was thinking about it, a pair of eyes glared at him, "And you, are you a blockhead?"
“…”
Lin You looked innocent and said, "You can scold me if you want, but why are you suddenly talking about me?"
I don’t want to either!
Isn't this an accident?
Hei Yuan continued, his face filled with a look of disappointment. "Look at you, the association made such a huge mistake, so you must bear full responsibility! You're the victim, why don't you use this as an excuse to extort money from it? Take whatever you can, or else this matter will never end. You can say you were overly frightened and your magic power flow was sluggish, or that you sprained your ankle, twisted your waist, suffered a concussion, or even accidentally broke your butt while running. You can claim compensation for all of these!"
"You dare not pay? Just appeal directly to the General Assembly, sue him, and see if he panics. You can probably get a lot of compensation for mental damages from all these miscellaneous things, and you just come back in disgrace, and you probably even thanked them before leaving. Are you stupid?"
As he said this, Hei Yuan was so angry that his lungs almost exploded.
My disciple has such outstanding talent in cultivation. He doesn't look stupid, but rather quite smart. How could he act so stupidly at the critical moment?
Lin You was speechless.
In a daze...
After a long while, he spoke weakly, "Teacher, it's not that there is no compensation. The people from the association said there will be subsidies."
"What subsidy?"
"Duel Merit."
"Duel merit?"
This time, Heiyuan seemed to have calmed down and was even a little surprised.
Duel merit, this thing is not given casually.
Even if Lin You is a victim, trapped in the dark game, he is fine, and even looks unharmed. The maximum that can be done is to give him some magic supplements and special duel points.
Duel feats?
This is really rare. Apart from being trapped, one must have made contributions during the period of being trapped, and it must be a considerable contribution, otherwise it would not be given casually.
Could it be that this guy beat the dark duelist half to death?
Suspicious, Hei Yuan asked, "How much did you give?"
"It's 30."
"30?"
Heiyuan was even more surprised. 30 duel merits, this was not a small amount at all.
Duel merits are not cabbages that can be handed out casually.
Generally speaking, it is considered remarkable for an ordinary duelist to accumulate a hundred or eighty dueling merits in a year.
This refers to star-level duelists, not apprentices like Lin You.
This kid just went out like this and got 30 duel merits directly?
Is this true or false?
Of course, it's mostly true.
As I said, it was said by the duelists from the association in the security zone themselves, so it is impossible for them to just fool around.
"It's okay."
Hei Yuan regained his composure and nodded, "Remember to order more next time. Okay, go and do your thing."
After saying this, I felt a little jealous.
Is this kid really a rare genius?
These unexpected things happen every now and then.
Calm down, your master's heart is not as good as you think!
“Huh~”
After giving the instructions, Heiyuan slowly calmed his breathing, walked to the coffee machine, and made himself a cup of coffee.
Sniffing the mellow aroma, I felt completely relaxed and walked to my own rocking chair.
Sit down, rock slowly, and drink a sip of coffee.
Comfortable!
Comfortable!
It’s better this way. I don’t have to pay attention to the disturbances from the outside world, I can immerse myself in the career I love, and have an excellent apprentice who is envied and hated by others, and even myself.
In your spare time, you can enjoy this wonderful taste leisurely like this.
Just as I was thinking about this, suddenly, a surprised scream rang out, "Teacher, it's broken, it's broken, my spiritual power has finally broken through 300!"
"puff."
The coffee in Heiyuan's mouth sprayed all over the floor, and a lot of it got on his clothes.
What are you shouting?
You're breaking through already?
His expression froze, and he looked full of doubt about life.
