Chapter 16 The Interrupted Regular Meeting

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 As usual, Lao Yao emphasized a lot of nonsense about studying hard and paying attention to safety at the regular meeting on Sunday. At the same time, he announced the results of the midterm exam - because they were all in-class exams, and the exam results had minimal impact on the final credits.

, coupled with the influence of Hunter Moon, so everyone is not particularly concerned about these results.

What is different from usual is that Lao Yao did not check everyone's weekly life diary at today's regular meeting - which made many people breathe a sigh of relief - he specially spared half an hour to praise the event.

Hunters participating in the freshman competition.

Among them are Zheng Qing and others who won the first place in the freshman competition, and Downton and others who have not achieved anything in the hunting competition and have not even experienced 'death'.

However, even though he was spitting on the podium, he still couldn't stop some people from being in a daze, distracted, and chatting.

Just like Fatty Xin.

As a cutting-edge reporter for the First University newspaper, Fatty has a pair of eyes that are good at discovery and an unparalleled and strong curiosity. So much so that when Lao Yao was still talking on the podium, he couldn't help but tilt his head.

He repeatedly harassed the young public-funded student diagonally behind him.

"What on earth did you...do...with...Jiang...Yu...?!"

The fat man opened his greasy mouth and made laborious mouth movements, trying to conduct a quiet interview.

Zheng Qing drooped his eyelids and ignored him. He let the fat man wink in front of him and make all sorts of weird gestures, while he lowered his head and recited the Paramita Heart Sutra silently.

This sutra was given to him by the young monk Shi Yuan to regulate his mood and calm his spirit. Although the sutra is very short, after reading it often, Zheng Qing found that his mental state had indeed improved - at least it promoted sleep.

In this respect, the effect of this scripture is much stronger than that of the meditation talisman.

However, when he was reciting sutras tonight, for some unknown reason, Zheng Qing always felt absent-minded and unknowingly started reading. This gave the young wizard a little headache.

After repeating it several times, he finally gave up, grabbed the quill and poked Dr. Xiao next to him, and whispered: "Hey! Have you been to Atlas?"

"What are you doing?!" Xiao Xiao glanced at him sideways.

Zheng Qing raised the pamphlet in his hand.

"It's the "Duo Heart Sutra". I always feel a little strange when I read it recently." The young public-funded student hesitated and chose the appropriate words: "What I mean is, go to Atlas to find the little monk Shi Yuan.

, see if he has any suggestions."

"If you can't find it, there should be many 'masters' there. Listening to their sermons may help you gain insights."

Xiao Xiao sat up straight, took the pamphlet from Zheng Qing's hand, flipped through it, and finally shook his head: "Atlas is more exclusive... You haven't noticed that most of the courses at First University are arranged in ninth grade.

Is it in the main building of the Academy and Alpha Academy? It’s because the environment there is not friendly enough to many wizards.”

"If you have any questions, we can find Shi Yuan. Anyway, he is also a member of the Knights of Forgiveness. We just happen to be holding a 'spending conference' this time, so we can kill two birds with one stone..."

Zheng Qing sighed deeply.

"Originally, I wanted to go to Atlas to see the sights." The public-funded student explained with a slightly regretful tone: "When I was at the hunting ground, I made a wish that if I could escape safely, I would burn incense sticks for the gods and Buddhas all over the sky.

...I thought that the place with the most complete collection of statues of gods in the entire First University should be Atlas. So I originally wanted to go there to fulfill my wish."

Xiao Xiao raised his head, trying hard not to snort the contemptuous sound from his nose.

When Zheng Qing mentioned the hunting ground, he couldn't help but think of hunting, and then he thought of his experience fighting monsters, his slingshot and talisman bullets, and the Colt Python that Jiang Yu gave him this afternoon.

Then he remembered another thing.

"Did you know that wizards began to use bows and arrows to project talismans thousands of years ago?" The young public-funded student asked Xiao Xiao in a questioning tone.

"This is common sense." Dr. Xiao Da sat upright, looked at the blackboard with a serious face, and replied with a twitching corner of his mouth.

"Then do you know about the rune gun?" Zheng Qing continued to ask in a low voice.

"Who doesn't know?" Xiao Xiao finally turned around, with a face full of surprise. He felt that the problem of public-funded students was a bit puzzling: "One of the biggest businesses of Martin Thor Alchemy Company is the manufacturing of rune guns. Colt

, Remington and other famous brands are under its name...Martin Thor, you know, our admission plane was made by this company."

"I don't know!" The young public physicist stared at him confidently and shouted in a low voice: "Since the wizarding world has already had talisman guns, talisman bullets, and bow and arrow projection talismans, why did you still encourage me to apply for a patent in the first place?

!...I was almost thrown out of school in disgrace! If I did that, wouldn’t it be as ridiculous as whittling a wheel out of wood and then applying for a modern patent?!"

"Wheels? What does this have to do with wheels?" Xiao Xiao adjusted his glasses: "What I asked you to apply for is the patent for the talisman. When you made the talisman, the unique runes and structure you used are very innovative... If you apply

, I believe that Martin Tolle Alchemy Company will be willing to pay you an objective royalty."

"Although wheels have been around for thousands of years, you can't apply for a patent based on the appearance and effect of wheels. But different wheels have different specifications in terms of hubs, tires, bearings, etc... These details are the direction of innovation.

, there is no problem at all in applying for some patents..."

"Dong dong dong!"

The sudden knock on the door interrupted Lao Yao's incessant chatter on the podium, and also startled many students who were making small moves under the podium - including Zheng Qing who was chatting.

When everyone sat up straight and turned their attention to the door, and saw clearly the identity of the person knocking on the door, the young public-funded student suddenly felt the urge to get under the table.

But his impulse came a little late.

"Good evening, professor. Excuse me." At the door, a young witch wearing a black maid skirt bowed politely and asked Lao Yao in a soft voice: "Excuse me, is classmate Zheng Qing in this classroom?

?”

Old Yao tilted his head, raised his eyebrows, looked at the young maid curiously, and then turned his gaze to the back row of the classroom.

"Zheng Qing?" The professor raised his arm and waved: "Let's go first, let's go... There is nothing else in the regular meeting."

In the classroom, everyone's eyes once again turned to the back row of the classroom.

Fatty Xin could finally turn his head and greet the young public-funded student openly.

"Brother Qing! Someone is looking for you!" the fat man shouted loudly, with a malicious smile on his face. At the same time, he did not forget to lean up and raise his arms high: "Professor, Zheng Qing is here!"

Zheng Qing didn't say anything, but with a dark face, he pulled all the sundries on the desk into the gray cloth bag, then lowered his head and trotted out of the classroom.
