Yin Ling leaned against the window and carefully examined Lin Ran's introduction documents in her hand.
The breeze blowing from the window stirred up her long hair, and her beautiful face and delicate facial features were like an elf from mythology, and her beautiful blinking eyes seemed to have a captivating charm.
At this time, the air around her was distorted, and then a silver-haired young man holding a jade flute appeared.
"Sister, why bother with such boring things? Just don't go."
Hearing these words, a smile appeared on Yin Ling's face:
"After all, the Scarlet Research Institute is the top authority in our Star City. The tasks they assign to me must be given face no matter what. Besides, I am also very interested in Lin Ran. I have learned about the seal flow technique he developed before. It is indeed a
A very gifted human genius.”
"You want to win over him?" the silver-haired boy asked curiously.
"I don't have any thoughts in this regard for the time being. The talent Lin Ran is showing now is not enough for me to win over. Besides, our mission has nothing to do with winning over human geniuses. Letting the clansmen come at the best time and taking control of Star City as soon as possible is our goal.
.”
When the silver-haired boy heard this, a thoughtful look appeared on his face, and then his figure suddenly disappeared from where he was.
Turning the pages of the information in her hand, Yin Ling raised her head and glanced at the clock hanging on the wall.
Realizing that it was already early ten o'clock, she immediately closed the documents in her hand and walked out of the office.
…
Star City East District.
Suikong commercial district, restaurant on the top floor of building A..
At this time, Feng Qi and Lin Ran were sitting in the restaurant, waiting for Yin Ling's arrival.
Through the floor-to-ceiling glass of the restaurant, you can have a panoramic view of the prosperity of Star City.
For this date, Lin Ran changed into a new set of clothes, even her hairstyle was changed, and her appearance was significantly improved.
Coupled with the sunny smile that always hangs on his face, he can make a good impression just by looking at each other.
Looking at Lin Ran sitting opposite, Feng Qi couldn't help but nod.
"That's right, I can fight with my good looks."
"Brother Qi, I can only guarantee that I will try my best during the process. I can't guarantee whether it will be successful or not. After all, across species, I may not be understood by the other party if I use human thinking to lick."
"I never said that you must develop love. Love is just an excuse for you to get close to Yin Ling. As long as you can gain her trust, even friendship is not impossible."
"Understood, if you say that, my pressure will not be so great!" Lin Ran nodded immediately.
"Feel free to use it, I believe in your charm!"
Giving Lin Ran an encouraging look, Feng Qi took out his phone and checked the time, then stood up:
"It's almost time. I'll leave first and let's see what you do next."
With that said, Feng Qi stood up, walked to the table far away from Lin Ran and sat down, then waved to the waiter beside him, with a bright smile on his face:
"order."
…
The time came to 11 o'clock.
While Lin Ran was waiting, Yin Ling arrived.
Compared with Lin Ran, Yin Ling dressed very casually, but her beautiful face had her own aura and attracted a lot of attention as soon as she entered the restaurant.
Arriving in front of Lin Ran, Yin Ling sat down calmly.
Lin Ran also raised his head at this moment and met Yin Ling's eyes.
As they looked at each other, Yin Ling's appearance was obviously beyond Lin Ran's expectations.
Even though I had seen photos of Yin Ling in advance, it was only when I saw it with my own eyes that I realized that the Yin Ling in the photo was far inferior to the real person.
She has a straight nose, rosy red lips, an aura of purity exuding from her body, and a pair of indifferent light black eyes under her slender eyebrows.
"Lin Ran." Lin Ran smiled and stretched out his hand.
"Silver Bell."
After shaking hands with Lin Ran, a hint of curiosity appeared on Yin Ling's face:
"I'm curious about one thing. Why did you agree to the Scarlet Research Institute's proposal? You don't really want to find a partner, do you? Judging from your age before the disaster, you are not even considered an adult."
Lin Ran, who had rehearsed various problems in his mind in advance, thought briefly and said with a smile:
"I don't think there is any problem with the Scarlet Research Institute's proposal. Fertility rate is always a new era issue that needs to be faced. I have also learned about your situation in advance. I appreciate your achievements... As for the age issue you mentioned, essentially
not a problem."
"I also think there is nothing wrong with the Scarlet Research Institute's proposal. I have also known about you in advance and appreciate your talent very much."
Yin Ling's answer obviously exceeded Lin Ran's expectations.
He originally thought that Yin Ling would find an excuse to refuse, but he didn't expect that Yin Ling actually thought that the Scarlet Institute's proposal was okay.
The progress unfolded in an unexpected way, and Lin Ran suddenly didn't know how to answer the question.
Fortunately, he has a very strong inner quality.
After a brief silence, he began to look for topics.
He took the initiative to bring up relevant knowledge about materials science and expanded on the following topics by asking questions.
The half-baked knowledge of taking supplements in advance came into play at this time.
As the topic unfolded, the awkward atmosphere gradually eased, and the two quickly became familiar with each other.
Feng Qi, who was eating a big meal not far away, glanced at it, nodded with satisfaction, and then smiled at the waiter standing next to him:
"One more meal, thank you."
Time passed as Lin Ran and Yin Ling chatted. While eating, Yin Ling took the initiative to chat about the content of cultivation and the magic techniques that Lin Ran was most familiar with.
When chatting about this aspect, Lin Ran suddenly became energetic and began to talk endlessly. Yin Ling listened with interest and asked questions from time to time.
It can be seen that Yin Ling is very interested in magic.
Many of the questions are very professional and cannot be asked by people with a little knowledge.
The first date unfolded in an unexpected way.
The time came to 5:10 pm.
Yin Ling and Lin Ran got up and left the restaurant, then took a taxi and went straight to the Xingguang Lake in the Central District.
As the sky grew dark, the two of them walked by the lake and continued to chat about magic.
After a while, they came to sit on a bench by the lake. At this time, Yin Ling looked at Lin Ran and asked a question:
"Can you play chess?"
"What chess?"
"It can be regarded as a kind of chess invented by myself. The rules are to use the arrangement of spiritual energy particles to combine the corresponding chess pieces to play chess."
After the words fell, Yin Ling reached out and waved his hand, and the aura in the air suddenly gathered into a golden thread.
I saw golden threads flowing and outlining in the air, and the prototype of the chessboard appeared.
"Try?"
"Okay, but I need detailed game rules." Curious Lin Ran agreed without hesitation.
Next, Yin Ling began to explain the rules of "Ling Che". During this period, he sketched the chess pieces from time to time and used actual combat methods to help Lin Ran understand the detailed rules.
Lin Ran was extremely talented and quickly understood the rules of Lingqi.
Lingqi is essentially a game that uses natural elements as chess pieces. Each round outlines a sequence of natural elements. It involves the intergeneration and mutual restraint of elements, as well as the prediction game in ordinary chess games, which tests the player's strategizing ability and
talent.
In the first game, Lin Ran was defeated in less than five minutes.
This immediately aroused Lin Ran's competitive spirit.
He has had an understanding and affinity for elements beyond ordinary people since he was a child. Although his first contact failed, he felt that he could do better.
After briefly recalling the cause of the error, Lin Ran immediately said:
"Come again."
Yin Ling smiled and nodded, and with a wave of her hand, the elemental chess pieces on the chessboard disappeared.
A new round of chess begins.
This time Lin Ran made significant progress and persisted for 20 minutes.
The third game began immediately. This time Lin Ran persisted for more than 30 minutes and gradually became familiar with the rules of the game.
Starting from the fourth game, Lin Ran has learned how to design elemental traps.
Lin Ran's potential really shocked Yin Ling.
After reading Lin Ran's information in advance, he knew that Lin Ran was very talented in magic.
But this talent wasn't enough to surprise her.
The Knot Seal Style is a disruptive innovation for humans, but for the Silver Moon Clan, it is very ordinary. After all, the knowledge accumulated by the Silver Moon Clan is far beyond what a simple Knot Seal Style can compare to.
But this time, Yin Ling was completely shocked.
Lingqi was not her own creation, but an important lesson in the growth process of members of the Silver Moon Clan.
Every member of the Silver Moon Clan will come into contact with Lingqi when they grow up. This is also a way for the Silver Moon Clan to exercise their thinking and control over elements.
The spirit chess can very well detect the elemental affinity of the Silver Moon clansmen and their talents in magic abilities.
What is certain is that this is Lin Ran's first contact with Lingqi.
But his progress was incredibly fast.
Looking at Lin Ran who was playing chess seriously, Yin Ling's beautiful eyes blinked, and a touch of curiosity emerged in her heart.
Facts have proved that Lin Ran's talent is far stronger than she expected.
It is conceivable that if Lin Ran is given space and time to continue to grow, he will definitely go down in the history of the human race and become one of the pioneers on the road of human growth.
After a brief adjustment of mentality, Yin Ling decided to test Lin Ran's limit.
With a wave of his hand, the pieces on the chessboard disappeared and the chess game was restored.
"Do you want to continue?"
"Continue!" Lin Ran, who was completely committed, said without hesitation.
While talking, Lin Ran waved his hand and arranged a fire element chess piece, placing it in the lower left corner of the chessboard.
The chess game begins again.
Lin Ran played this game very seriously. As he gradually became familiar with the rules, he also learned how to use the elements to enhance the strength of his own chess pieces, and then use mutual restraint to weaken the chess pieces in Yin Ling's hand.
The super talent of magic and magic is gradually revealed in playing chess.
In the history of human beings fighting against the invasion of fields, there are many outstanding talents, and each of them has shined his own light in his own era.
But there are not many peerless geniuses whose light can permeate the long history.
Their stories are still talked about by future generations even after several generations.
Lin Ran is one of them.
The Kyouyin-ryu technique he created when he was young has become one of the three major schools of magic in the future as it continues to improve, and the techniques he subsequently developed are also known as top-notch techniques.
If he had not been persecuted by the Lord of the Mist and ended his life with a tragic ending, Lin Ran's achievements would have lasted for decades, and his legendary story would have continued to the end of human civilization.
In the 2000 years of history after the disaster, Lin Ran's talent was ranked among the top three in the magic talent list.
This evaluation is enough to show that people in the future will affirm Lin Ran's talent.
Perhaps human beings are not as powerful as those with profound foundations in various fields in all aspects, but there are also a very small number of super humans among humans who can change history.
Lin Ran is one of them.
After hours of playing chess, Lin Ran kept surprising Yin Ling.
Even in several of the games, Yin Ling almost fell into the elemental ambush arrayed by Lin Ran, but in the end relied on her rich experience to win.
Yin Ling, who considered herself to be extremely talented in magic, had to start focusing on the game.
Being sent to the human world in advance as a pioneer, she considers herself to be very good. She has been the best among her peers since she was a child.
Lingqi was her favorite entertainment method when she was growing up.
So far, she has rarely met an opponent among her peers who can play chess seriously.
But with the talent Lin Ran is showing now, she may be defeated if she is not careful.
Time continued to pass, and soon Yin Ling, like Lin Ran, devoted himself wholeheartedly to the chess game.
…
At this time, it is on the other side of Starlight Lake.
Feng Qi took out his phone and looked at the time.
I found it was already 11pm.
I thought that the first date would be over soon, and we would just take a walk by the lake after dinner.
But I didn't expect that both of them were on top.
When he found out that the two of them were playing chess, he felt quite overwhelmed.
It seems that love has really developed into friendship.
But this can be considered a good development.
Regardless of love or friendship, as long as you can gain trust and obtain information, it is a good process.
Thinking of this, Feng Qi stood up and decided to leave early.
Next it’s time to start arranging the script.
The first script is about a hero saving a beauty.
But not everyone can be this bad guy.
The inexplicable attack will definitely make Yin Ling suspicious. After all, the security in Star City has always been very good, and vicious incidents such as robberies rarely occur.
Fortunately, Feng Qi had already thought of the goal of playing a bad guy.
There is only one organization in the entire Star City that can give Yin Ling a reasonable reason to be assassinated.
Alliance of the weak in the field.
Assassinating human geniuses is just a task for them.
Whether they assassinate Yin Ling or Lin Ran, they don't need any reason, just because they are human geniuses.
After discovering that those who came to assassinate were members of the Alliance of Weak ones in the field, Yin Ling would only mistakenly think that they had taken over the task of assassinating the genius and would not raise any other suspicions.
So he needs to conquer the alliance of weak players in advance.
Then let them cooperate with him to help Lin Ran perform the first script that brings him closer to Yin Ling.
He has already done this in the previous timeline, and it is easy for him to do it.
But the first script was in no rush to unfold.
Emotions need time to settle, otherwise they will appear very exaggerated.
With a happy mood, Feng Qi decided to go to the stronghold of the Domain Weak Race Alliance and talk to the person in charge of the Domain Weak Race Alliance, one of the younger brothers in the previous timeline, "Black Dragon".
…
The time came to 1 o'clock in the morning.
When Yin Ling won the victory with difficulty, she couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
Reaching out to wipe the sweat from her forehead, she looked at Lin Ran, who had a focused expression, and felt a turmoil in her heart.
She discovered that human talent can be so terrifying.
She almost lost in the most professional "Spiritual Chess" game.
From the beginning when she just wanted to test Lin Ran's talent to the full response now, Lin Ran gave her too many shocks.
"That's it for today. I'll go back and do some research. I'll definitely beat you tomorrow." Lin Ran said at this time.
"Okay, continue tomorrow!" Yin Ling agreed without hesitation.
"I'll give it to you."
"No, I can just go back by myself." Yin Ling immediately shook her head and chose to refuse.
After hearing these words, Lin Ran, whose mind was filled with the layout of the chess game, did not insist. He immediately said he would see you tomorrow, then turned and left.
When Lin Ran's figure went away, the air around Yin Ling became distorted, and the figure of the silver-haired boy appeared.
"Sister, his magic potential is so terrifying."
The silver-haired boy, who always had an indifferent expression, looked horrified, and was obviously shocked by Lin Ran's talent.
"If he is given space to continue to grow, I believe he will bring positive changes to human magic."
"This is not a good thing for us. His growth will lead to an increase in the combat power of the entire Star City." The silver-haired boy couldn't help but frown, and then continued:
"Sister, is it really impossible for us to live in peace with humans?"
"It's impossible. We can't give the humans we want, we can only steal them... So you are right, Lin Ran's growth may become a hidden danger for us."
"Do you need me to take action? He shouldn't be very strong. I'm confident in assassinating him."
Upon hearing the young man's suggestion, Yin Ling stood up, rubbed his hair, and said with a smile:
"Don't do anything stupid. Your behavior may expose your identity. Even if the probability is low, once exposed, the chain reaction may even destroy our future plans."
"Killing and killing is ultimately the last resort. Our latent plan dictates that we must keep a low profile and not engage in any behavior that may reveal our identity."
"I understand." The silver-haired boy nodded obediently.
At this time, Yin Ling took out a silver-white mobile phone from her backpack, passed the fingerprint and pupil verification, and dialed a number.
When the call was connected, Yin Ling's voice changed, and she spoke in a slightly hoarse and strange voice:
"Domain Alliance?"
"What's the matter with you?" A rough voice sounded on the other end of the phone.
"Assassinate a human genius for me..."
Looking at his sister who was giving information about the assassination target, the silver-haired boy standing aside had a confused expression.
