Lin Ze didn't say a word, just silently listening to Shu Song's words.
In the past few days after entering the world of the Royal Court, he has been vaguely aware that his character's identity has a special background setting, and he has some guesses about it, and Shu Song's words just confirmed his guesses.
Why 'Lin Ze' knew nothing about spiritual arts, why he didn't open a mansion on his own after leaving the palace, but stayed at Shu's house instead, and why the aristocratic students in the academy treated him with alienation, everything was explained.
"Is it true that characters like members of the royal family will be involved in palace struggles?"
There was a sudden pause in his heart, but Lin Ze smiled faintly on his face: "Aunt Shu misunderstood me. I have no intention of asking for trouble, and I have no interest in the throne at all."
Shu Song was startled when he heard this: "In that case, why do you still practice spiritual arts and intervene in the battle between the traditional school and the innovative school?"
"I practice spiritual arts just because I am interested in spiritual arts. Besides, by mastering spiritual arts, I can protect myself a little bit. As for the battle between the traditionalists and the reformists," Lin Ze paused and guessed that Shu Song was referring to
What happened at the training gym, "I just happened to be there and was accidentally involved."
"I see!"
Shu Song was stunned, then frowned and asked, "Then why do you want to join the army?"
"I want to kill the Horned Clan." Lin Ze said.
Shu Song did not speak, but looked at Lin Ze, the questioning look in his eyes obvious.
"Killing the Horned Clan is good for improving my strength." Lin Ze thought for a while and gave an ambiguous reason.
As far as he is concerned, killing the Horned Clan is to gain points, which will definitely be beneficial to improving his strength in the end. But for the aborigines of the Royal Court World, fighting the Horned Clan can also increase actual combat experience and improve their strength. There is no reason for this.
question.
Hearing this, Shu Song did not speak, but took a deep look at Lin Ze, then smiled, stretched out his finger and tapped his forehead, and smiled:
"You little naughty boy!"
After saying this, she stopped talking, obviously not intending to ask any more questions.
"Then what Aunt Shu means"
Shu Song smiled and said: "You don't need my help in this matter. Now there is an opportunity in front of you to join the army?"
"What chance?"
"A month ago, a commander of the City Guards died in a battle with the Horn Clan. His position was vacant. The successor has not yet been decided. However, an order was recently circulated in the palace. The vacant commander position will be contested by the academy.
Chief of Staff, so if you want to join the military, this is a good opportunity."
Lin Ze's eyes lit up.
There are five commanders in the city guard army, and they are the highest-ranking officers besides the chief and deputy army commanders. This is just in line with his expectations. Although they are not the horn-killing army that fights more frequently with the horn tribe, it is good in this way. It can be fully reserved.
time to practice.
In a flash of thought, Lin Ze quickly made a decision.
Participate in the college competition and get the top spot!
"Okay, now that the matter is settled, it's time to eat." Shu Song clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Pastry can't fill your stomach. I have already ordered the kitchen to prepare food, and I will leave lunch here.
Eat."
Lin Ze felt confident and nodded in agreement.
After finishing lunch and leaving the study, Lin Ze rushed straight to the quiet room.
The college competition was scheduled to be held in eighty days, and he planned to use this time to master a few more spiritual techniques so that he could use them in the competition.
Although with his current strength, it shouldn't be difficult to defeat all the students in the competition and gain the top position, but to do so, he would have to use the Red Lotus Armor and the Rising Sun.
If possible, Lin Ze didn't want to reveal his trump card so quickly, or even reveal the existence of Soul Knife Honglian.
After all, there are still many unexplored places in the Royal Court World. Being able to keep more trump cards in hand is also a guarantee for your own safety.
"Guren's awakening level will also increase faster."
Since this period of time, Lin Ze has rarely exercised his soul energy. He only uses his soul energy when studying the combination of soul energy and spiritual arts, so his awakening level increases extremely slowly.
"I still have more than 700 points, which is quite abundant. I might as well develop both ends."
Lin Ze immediately made a decision, planning to go to the World of Swordsman to practice his soul energy in the next time. When the soul energy is exhausted, he will return to the Royal Court World to practice spiritual arts. When his soul energy is fully restored, he will return to
The World of Swordsman continues to exercise and adopt a two-pronged approach.
Although this consumes a lot of points, it can not only increase Red Lotus's awakening level, but also won't neglect the practice of spiritual arts, killing two birds with one stone.
As for the spiritual skills he wanted to practice, Lin Ze also had some concerns in his mind.
Wanren must continue to practice. At present, he can only condense one spiritual energy weapon, and the attack power is not as good as a random flame sword energy. He must at least have the number of condensed weapons to break through to double digits in order to be able to fight in battle.
Really comes in handy.
In addition, the improvement of Rising Sun cannot be interrupted.
Thanks to having Ten Thousand Blades as a reference, Rising Sun has improved a lot in condensing and condensing energy. At least it's not like it was at the beginning. After being used, the soul knife seemed to turn into a lightsaber. But it's not enough. It needs to continue to condense.
shrink energy.
When the light layer completely converges and disappears, the power of the rising sun will probably reach a very terrifying level.
In addition, Lin Ze is also preparing to practice Yuanling Spirit Technique. This technique of using spiritual energy to simulate flames may be of great benefit to him in controlling the Red Lotus Flame.
So in the following time, Lin Ze practiced in an orderly manner according to his own plan, running back and forth between the two game worlds every day.
In reality, since the giant dog monster and the heavy armor monster, he has not encountered other monster incidents, and his life suddenly became calm. Except for occasionally going out to play with Ren Wan to avoid his grandfather's nagging, most of them
I spend most of my time in my bedroom 'playing games'.
While the points are consumed rapidly, the strength is also steadily increasing.
In this way, time gradually passed.
After spending the Lantern Festival with his grandfather, Lin Ze packed his luggage and prepared to go back to school.
Early the next morning, he said goodbye to his grandfather and embarked on the journey back to school with his backpack on his back.
We still took the train back, but unlike when we came here, the person sitting next to us was a middle-aged uncle. He fell asleep as soon as he got on the train. The journey was uneventful. Lin Ze read the whole way with a book in his hands until he arrived at the train station.
When they returned to the school dormitory, Qin Sheng and the other three had already returned. After putting themselves down and saluting, the four of them immediately went outside to have a meal. Lin Ze then left first and found a driving school to sign up for driving lessons.
In order to be able to drive legally as soon as possible, he directly chose a course that could get him a driver's license the fastest, and signed up for a VIP class. As long as he had time, he could make an appointment in advance to practice, and he could get his driver's license in about a month.
Of course, the cost is also quite high.
After paying the tuition, Lin Ze's small coffers suddenly bottomed out.
His family was well off, but not rich by any means. He was busy studying and worked only a handful of jobs, so he didn't save much money. After paying for his driving lessons, there was very little left.
And then it will cost a lot of money to buy a car. Even a second-hand car will cost tens of thousands of dollars.
Not to mention the problem of parking spaces. The school's parking space management is very strict. In principle, students are not allowed to apply for parking spaces. Therefore, if you want to park, you can only find an underground parking lot nearby, which will cost a lot of money.
expenditure.
"It would be great if points could be exchanged for money." Lin Ze said with emotion.
Although the game does not provide a similar exchange function, players can spontaneously organize transactions among themselves. Lin Ze believes that there must be players who are not short of money, and may be willing to spend money to purchase points.
Unfortunately, there is no player forum or auction space yet.
While thinking about it, Lin Ze returned to school unknowingly.
When passing the path leading to the dormitory building, he saw a young man and woman under a tree not far away. The man looked excited and seemed to be talking about something, while the woman frowned slightly and kept shaking her head.
As he got closer, Lin Ze realized that the girl was Chen Yuxuan, and that the boy looked familiar. After thinking for a moment, he finally recalled that when he met Chen Yuxuan at Keyaki Square not long ago, she also had a dispute with the boy.
At that time, he even stepped forward to help Chen Yuxuan out of the siege.
"It doesn't look like they are boyfriend and girlfriend."
Lin Ze thought to himself and stepped slightly heavier.
Chen Yuxuan and the boy noticed the footsteps, turned around and saw it was Lin Ze. Chen Yuxuan was startled, while the boy's face darkened.
He remembered that this pretty boy was the one who caused trouble last time.
Thinking of this, the boy was secretly annoyed and glared at Lin Ze.
Lin Ze kept walking, but his brows raised imperceptibly.
After experiencing so many battles, murderous intent and aura were no longer invisible and intangible things to him. He could clearly feel the fierce aura that flashed across the boy's body at that moment.
"He's really an irritable guy." Lin Ze glanced at the boy, "He's a player on the same team? With Chen Yuxuan's character, how could he team up with such a person?"
As early as in the noodle shop, he was sure that Chen Yuxuan was a player, and the latter was probably the same. After all, only players can resist the emotional mobilization ability of monsters. This feature is still very conspicuous and easy to identify when encountering monsters.
It's just that the two of them tacitly didn't reveal it at the time.
"That's it, don't mention this matter again!"
After Chen Yuxuan said this, she waved her hands, clearly showing that she didn't want to talk anymore.
Seeing this, the boy's expression darkened, he turned around and left. Before leaving, he even gave Lin Ze a hard look.
"He's your teammate?"
Glancing at the boy's leaving figure, Lin Ze turned to Chen Yuxuan and asked casually.
Chen Yuxuan was not surprised when she heard this. She nodded calmly and then showed an apologetic look on her face: "I'm sorry for bringing you into this. He may have some misunderstandings about you. I will explain it to him later."
Lin Ze shrugged indifferently.
"When did you get your sunglasses?"
"About half a year ago." Chen Yuxuan didn't mean to hide it.
Lin Ze estimated that it was probably in July last year, nearly 4 months earlier than him. So, maybe she knew about the existence of player forums and the like.
