The sky was bright and mist shrouded the foot of the mountain. Master Bopu and others were waiting eagerly at the entrance of the cave.
In the dark cave, a hot and pale light was first lit.
Afterwards, Professor Lin held up the 'Flash Technique' and slowly walked out of the cave. The hot white light cast a layer of light and shadow on his angular cheeks, adding a touch of mystery to his handsomeness.
Vikarina couldn't help but blush a little, and said softly to Rosalin: "Professor Lin... so dazzling."
These words fell into Zhong Xingfeng's ears, and a green question mark couldn't help but appear on his forehead.
Zhong Xingfeng:?
He is indeed a little better than me, a little more handsome, and a little more educated, but...
There is no but.
After all, Professor Lin is extremely considerate and has been certified by the Dream Demon himself.
Zhong Xingfeng felt ashamed and sighed sadly.
"Lin Xiao, how is your investigation going?" Master Bopu asked quickly.
"There are no monsters in the cave, only an altar to the devil." Lin Xiao said rigorously, "Professor Bop, your guess is correct. It is indeed a believer of the devil who transformed the ruins of the Sleeping God into an altar to the devil."
"Altar of the Demon God?!" Master Bop took a breath of cold air.
As a professional scholar, he naturally knows the dangers of the Demon God Altar. It is rumored that the altar will bless the power of the Demon God, and there will be monsters guarding each Demon God Altar.
Lin Xiao, on the other hand, not only single-handedly defeated two A-level monsters, but even took risks and sneaked into the cave to bring back such important information.
Not only is he extraordinary in the academic field, but he is also outstanding in terms of duel strength.
After he returns... he must ask the school to increase his salary and retain this talent at all costs!
Professor Holman frowned and looked at Lin Xiao: "Do we need to contact the investigation team?"
In the final analysis, Holman was just an ordinary person when he met the monsters. Therefore, he subconsciously regarded Lin Xiao, who killed two powerful monsters, as the backbone of the team.
Contact the investigation team? Why not send me to handle it?
Lin Xiao coughed lightly and said: "The demon altar in the cave has been decomposed by me and will no longer affect the archaeological work. But for safety reasons, it is better to contact the investigation team and send someone over."
boom.
Lin Xiao's words were like a heavy bomb falling, making everyone confused.
"Decompose...the Demon God Altar?" Rosalin was incredulous.
That thing can be broken down too?!
As far as I know, the main material of the Demon God Altar is the golden material "Oliha Steel".
If you want to decompose the altar into cards, you need at least a sixth-level master to dedicate all your source power to do it.
And Professor Lin had killed two A-level monsters before, and now, he had easily dismantled the Demon God Altar, and he still looked like nothing had happened?!
Everyone's lips moved, wanting to ask questions, but they didn't know how to ask.
After all, Professor Lin's strength is far beyond everyone's understanding.
In terms of academic qualifications, he may still be a ‘brother within a brother’; but when it comes to the field of card duel, he is an ‘emperor within an emperor’!
"all in all."
Lin Xiao looked at everyone, showing a hearty smile with white teeth, and said:
"Everyone goes back to the tent to take a nap first. When we wake up, we will continue the archaeological work... Is that okay?"
No one dared to say 'no', so they turned around and walked towards the tent.
"Professor Lin... is so amazing." Vikalina's cheeks turned red and she whispered to Rosalin.
"Which area are you referring to?" Rosalin wanted to ask, whether it was the academic circle or the dueling world.
Vicarina was extremely surprised: "You have already made the first move?!"
Rosalin & Zhong Xingfeng:???
"No, I didn't say anything." Vikarina knew she had made a mistake and turned away with a blush.
Zhong Xingfeng:o(╥﹏╥)o
If you want to live a decent life, you must have a little green on your head!
…
The next day, officers from the investigation team were ordered to come to investigate. Lin Xiao was responsible for contacting them.
The visitor is a black-haired girl with whom we have met once, Hakoba.
The black-haired girl wore a silver zippered uniform, licked a lollipop, and carried a rune shield on her back.
After listening to Lin Xiao's summary of the incident, she was surprised and said: "So, in the middle of solving the demon incident, you also participated in an academic archaeological work?"
Lin Xiao corrected himself: "On the way to participate in academic work, I solved the demon incident."
Three ellipses appeared above Hakoba's head.
This guy, within two months of joining the investigation team, had completed several A-level commissions. Now this unexpected incident, which is at least A-level difficult, was easily solved by him.
The team leader didn’t draw a legendary operator, but he clearly drew a cheat-level operator!
"Please, please report this operation to the team leader."
Lin Xiao said seriously: "It is necessary to eradicate evil and evil, but the team leader should also be able to understand that I have consumed a lot of source power and cards, and I need to use source dust and star coins to make up for it..."
The black-haired girl had a strange look on her face: "So, in this incident, you want to make a fortune both in the investigation team and in Lonicera University?"
Lin Xiao shook his head: "Why make a fortune? You look down on me, Mr. Lin."
Hakoba looked at the handsome young man's righteous appearance, and his heart moved slightly.
Could it be that I really misjudged him?
Lin Xiao thought to herself.
This is clearly called eating two fish for one!
After a brief understanding of the conditions at the site, the investigation team returned. Lin Xiao continued to participate in the archaeological work.
Since there were no monsters to interfere, the archaeological work went very smoothly.
Wednesday, June 29th.
Lin Xiao finished the archaeological work and took the bus back to Liandong. He left the gate of Liandong School amid the heartfelt farewells from Bopu and others.
Looking at Professor Lin's disappearing back, Master Bopu said slowly:
"Today's young people are becoming more and more all-rounded... Take the students of Liandong as an example. Academics, duels, and card making are all required courses for them..."
"But." Bop's eyes flashed, "A genius like Lin Xiao who is extremely outstanding in all aspects is rare in the world."
"Thanks to him, otherwise it would have been another question whether we would come back this time." Holman took a deep breath and said, "Let the school prepare a reward for him."
"You and I jointly use this archaeological work as Lin Xiao's academic achievement to apply to promote him to a full professor?" Bop said.
Holman nodded and said: "This is just one of them. Materials and source dust are also indispensable."
Rosalin returned to the Imperial University in the Kingdom of Glory with a deep impression of this work.
"A talented scholar like Professor Lin should not remain unknown."
Rosalin's eyes flashed slightly.
Or perhaps, he is the type that 'does nothing but becomes a blockbuster'!
*
Lin Xiao has returned to the rental house.
This archaeological work took a total of three days and was very fruitful.
First is the title.
As for the investigation team, his title was upgraded from senior operator to director, and he was only one step away from the team leader.
With the senior title of "Director", even Brother Chu Yun, who had entered the industry earlier, had to call him "Lin Private" when he saw him.
And because the Investigation Team is a global organization, this title is also applicable to the jurisdiction of "Investigation Team" in other countries.
However, although it is universal, it is difficult for foreign generals to control local soldiers. If you want to gain the trust of the local "investigation team", you must first show strong strength.
In the academic world, Master Bop and Professor Holman jointly published an academic paper, aiming to clarify the spread and changes of the "Sleeping God Cult" and the regional differences in ancient lingua franca among different countries.
This paper has a great impact. First of all, it is a ground-breaking event that these two rivals are willing to jointly publish a paper. On the other hand, this paper is of high value and has received a good response.
Lin Xiao also entered the academic circle as the 'third signatory' of this paper. Because he was too young, he caused an uproar and sensation in academic forums.
Lin Xiao never paid attention to the gossip from the outside world.
All you need to know is that the school approved the joint application of Bop and Holman and changed their professional titles to regular ones.
Less than twenty years old, the youngest director in the history of the investigation team, and a genuine professor at the world's top card master academy...
These two golden titles can only be described as 'golden legends'.
And in terms of strength improvement.
If you get a piece of "Sloth Fragment" yourself, you can expand the "Sloth Field" within five meters of yourself. The time flow rate of other units in the field will be reduced, but your own action speed will remain unchanged.
Lin Xiao rubbed his chin.
Because time is relative.
From the perspective of people outside the field, there will be a situation like "I suddenly accelerated, but the enemy was frozen and motionless."
To put it simply, one is "lazy" to the extreme and strives to defeat the enemy in the shortest time and with the greatest efficiency. This "diligent" style of conduct can be regarded as a kind of "laziness".
Unlike the earnest "Fragment of Arrogance", the blue "Fragment of Sloth" stops moving as soon as it enters the fire.
Lin Xiao didn't pay much attention, after all, this was the style of the 'Demon God of Sloth'.
After this archaeological work, Lin Xiao deeply realized the importance of the lighting technique...(crossed out) and the flash technique, so he took the card-making pen "Autumn Waters Changing Sky" and cooperated with Yuan Chen to strengthen the flash technique and complete the second level breakthrough.
"Flash Technique, White Quality,"
"Level:20/30"
"Moves: Blinding, Magic Light."
"Magic Light: Create a suspended light ball, providing illumination for 60 seconds."
The moves unlocked after breaking through the second level of Flash Technique are relatively common and are mainly used for lighting.
Lin Xiao then thought about it, this 'magic light technique' can be used to illuminate and attract the attention of monsters, but it is not that "blank slate".
on the other hand.
Using the three materials mentioned by Jinlong Zhenjun, Lin Xiao tried to repair the "broken seven-string harp".
Decompose the three materials that symbolize Apollo, "laurel wood", "myrtle" and "water lily sap", into three different colors of liquid energy, and draw these three drops of liquid into the card-making pen.
Lin Xiao took a card-making pen and sketched patterns on the back of the "Seven-Stred Harp" card.
Concentrate and don't dare to be careless.
"Ouwu..." Dafu also leaned over and stared at Lin Xiao's movements.
Don't break the things you gave me...
Buzz.
Lin Xiao and Dafu's eyes widened at the same time.
"Successful." Lin Xiao said in surprise.
These three materials fit the seven-stringed harp better than I imagined!
What kind of prophet is Cassandra? The true king is my only true prophecy!
"Seven-stringed harp, blue rare, third level."
"Explanation: The harp with sealed power will emit a healing sound when plucked. It is said to be a sacred object of the God of Light."
"Moves: Poem of Agility, Poem of Heroism, Song of Tranquility"
Materialize it and hand it to Dafu.
"Oh! (ω)" The little seal hugged the harp and couldn't put it down.
Ding 珰.
Dafu moved his little paws, and the small harp flowed out light and cheerful music, and the wind element in the air seemed to become active.
"This should be the 'poetry of agility' of the seven-stringed harp," Lin Xiao nodded.
The other two types, the Heroic Poem is used to increase output, and the Serenity Song is used to restore blood and clear negative status.
From now on, I will take the lead with the Meteoric Sword.
Dafu can be by his side and continue playing music and dancing!
Currently, the seven-stringed harp remains sealed.
Thinking about it, when the seal is finally lifted, it will reach the level of the 'Golden Legend'.
Go through this archaeological mission.
The wealthy Liandong University gave Lin Xiao a purple material card called "Bifang Tail Feather".
"Bifang's tail feathers: The tail feathers of the Central Continent's mythical creature 'Bifang' are as bright red as flames. Despite the vicissitudes of life, they still remain blazing."
Bi Fang bird is a one-legged crane recorded in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", commonly known as the 'Fire Crow'. The ancients of Central China regarded it as a symbol of fire. According to the record of "Huainanzi", "Wood produces Bi Fang", so Bi Fang bird
Fang is also regarded as a wood spirit, born from the fire of bamboo and wood.
To put it simply, Bifang is a spiritual creature of both wood and fire systems.
It is far from the legendary Yinglong, Qinglong, and Phoenix, but it is also an epic spiritual creature from the medieval era and has the powerful ability to control flames.
Bi Fang's tail feathers are shaped like blazing flames, and their combined tendencies are 'fire element' and 'bird element'.
Gifting such a precious purple material to Lin Xiao was both a thank you for saving the lives of two professors and a reward for archaeological work. Furthermore, it also showed the sincerity of the school.
Lin Xiao happened to have plans to make new cards.
Click on the "Synthesis" interface and put the three materials "Bifang Tail Feather", "Sleeping God Grass" and "Guardian Feather" into the slots.
The material compatibility is extremely high, reaching 97%.
Lin Xiao was slightly startled: "Sleepy...little firebird?"
"Dafu, come here -" Lin Xiao called to the little seal who was still studying the harp, and said: "Come here and play a tune to welcome your new partner!"
"Ooo! (o▽)o" Dafu struck the harp.
Lin Xiao listened to the music and nodded slightly.
In the future, when fighting landlords, Dafu might be able to play BGM...
Click to combine, and the three materials turn into streamers and fly into the synthetic stone plate.
With Dafu's Buff blessing, there is no suspense in the synthesis process.
Pulling out the card to reveal the entity of the summoned object, Lin Xiao looked at the cute little guy in front of him and was slightly startled.
"Chirp~"
This is a little fat bird only as big as a fist. It is all white, with a bunch of flowing little red hairs on its head. It looks like a round ball as a whole, with a beautiful red tail.
"Talent·Guardian Wings: Appears as a sparrow spirit body, and resists an attack of level 3 or below for the master."
This round and chubby little bird looks very much like a cute creature in Lin Xiao’s memory, the silver-throated long-tailed tit, commonly known as the ‘Little Fat Chick’.
He tried to extend his finger to the red-tailed sparrow, and the little fat girl chirped a little and jumped on Lin Xiao's finger.
Lin Xiao put the little fat chirp on his shoulder and said with a smile:
"From now on, I'll call you 'Tang Yuan'. You must get along well with Dafu."
"Ooooo! (ω)" The little seal looked up at the glutinous rice balls.
This kid looks delicious...no, he looks very cute!
Little Fatty Chiu was very brave and not afraid of anything, and happily jumped on Lin Xiao's shoulder twice.
"Chirp~(*^▽^*)"
From now on, I am glutinous rice balls!
Lin Xiao smiled slightly and nodded with satisfaction.
