As rare third-level spiritualists and students at the pinnacle of the academy, it can be said that Cheng Yue and the other five are known to everyone in the academy, and the spiritual arts they are good at have naturally been thoroughly studied.
It's hard to say whether he has any trump cards, but at least his apparent strength is known to everyone.
After the meal, Lin Ze learned a lot of information about the strength of Cheng Yue and the others from Chen Muchen, and he had a general understanding of the enemy's situation.
However, in fact, he did not attach much importance to the four of them. It was only out of caution and the coincidence of the meeting that he asked Chen Muzhen about the situation.
After leaving the dining hall and separated from Chen Muzhen, Lin Ze forgot about the college competition and continued to concentrate on practicing spiritual arts.
Still running back and forth between the two game worlds, it took him half a month to finally master the Green Thorn Spiritual Technique and fuse it with soul energy to create the Red Lotus version of the Green Thorn Spiritual Technique.
The improved Green Thorn Spiritual Technique, when used, releases thorns with raging red lotus fire. In addition to the binding effect, it also adds burning damage, making it much more powerful than the original version.
Lin Ze felt that it might be more appropriate to call it red thorn.
On the other hand, the practice of spirit ring and spiritual arts has also been put on the agenda.
Compared with the Green Thorn, the cultivation of the Spiritual Ring is more difficult and takes longer.
With the start of school, Lin Ze returned to his previous regular life. Every day, he went to the dormitory, the library and the cafeteria at 3:00 and 1:00. In addition to self-study and reading, he only practiced driving for two days on weekends.
With superhuman reaction speed, the process of learning to drive went very smoothly. By the second weekend, Lin Ze's driving skills were already comparable to those of veteran drivers who had been driving for many years. However, because he had to make up for the lessons, he still had to take classes obediently.
.
As for the other three roommates, Qin Sheng is busy dating Dai Xin, who has already broken the record for the duration of his relationship with Qin Daqingsheng. Every day that passes, a new record is set.
Chen Qigong is the same as before. He has mastered the secret of happy learning and is addicted to learning and cannot extricate himself.
Liu Jinghe was the only one who had the most leisure time. He couldn't earn money and it was impossible to study. He was so idle that he almost got rusty. Finally he couldn't help it today and took Lin Ze out to watch a movie. After that, he went to a newly opened restaurant.
Western restaurant, ready to have a big meal with great interest.
Stores like this one, which are opened near universities, usually have many discounts during the opening period, which is very tempting for college students with limited financial resources. When the two of them arrived at the store, it was already full of people and they queued for half an hour.
The team has their turn.
"The discount on steak here is very strong. Let's order the steak set meal." Liu Jinghe said, calling the waiter with gestures.
"What do you two want?"
Lin Ze was just about to nod in agreement with Liu Jinghe's proposal when he suddenly heard a familiar voice. He raised his head and saw that it was actually Li Kaixin, a noodle shop girl, a mobile food truck clerk, a courier, and now a Western restaurant waiter. This guy is a new generation of working warrior.
Really? Changing jobs is really not that common.
"Ah! You are the courier!"
Liu Jinghe once took a picture of Kaixin Li, so he naturally recognized him immediately.
Li Kaixin turned a blind eye to him, but glanced at Lin Ze and asked again: "What do you two want?"
"Let's have a sirloin steak set meal." Liu Jinghe didn't care and made a decision directly.
"Me too." Lin Ze said.
"Okay, please wait a moment, both of you."
"This girl is so hardworking. She works two jobs at the same time. I just saw her delivering packages at school in the morning!"
After Kaixin Li left, Liu Jinghe sighed with surprise.
Lin Ze refused to comment, thinking secretly in his heart.
He had some doubts about whether Li Kaixin was investigating monsters in the name of working, just like he did twice before at the noodle shop and Keyaki Plaza. However, after entering the restaurant, he did not feel the scent of monsters.
"Maybe it's just a part-time job."
Although there were many customers in the restaurant, the serving speed was not slow. After waiting for about ten minutes, the steak set meal ordered by the two people was quickly served, and the person who served the food was still Kaixin Li.
After placing the food, Li Kaixin whispered to Lin Ze: "Whenever you are free, I have something I want to talk to you about."
Lin Ze was startled, glanced at Li Kaixin, and after a few seconds of silence, nodded and said: "Okay."
When Li Kaixin walked away, Lin Ze turned around and saw Liu Jinghe looking at him with shocked eyes.
"When did you hook up with this girl?"
"She and I just know each other, not very well," Lin Ze said helplessly.
"The girl took the initiative to ask you out, and she said we didn't know her very well!" Liu Jinghe shook his head and sighed, "When I asked for the girl's name, she said she had no idea, but turned around and took action. Seeing that you have thick eyebrows and big eyes, I didn't expect it.
He is actually such a person!"
Lin Ze had long been accustomed to Liu Jinghe's antics. Hearing this, he rolled his eyes and ignored it, and started eating on his own.
After all, after finishing the meal, Liu Jinghe left voluntarily without saying that he wanted to wait for Lin Ze, so as to leave sufficient time and space for the two of them.
Not long after waiting outside, Lin Ze saw Li Kaixin, who had changed from her employee uniform and was wearing casual clothes, walking out.
The two of them came to a nearby beverage shop and sat down. After ordering all the drinks, Lin Ze looked up at Li Kaixin with a questioning look.
Li Kaixin took a sip of lemon tea and asked:
"Are you a solo player?"
"That's right." Lin Ze admitted frankly, there was nothing to hide.
"Then do you want to join our team?" Li Kaixin looked at him with a very serious expression.
As soon as these words came out, Lin Ze was a little surprised.
Strictly speaking, the relationship between him and Li Kaixin's three-person team cannot be said to be good. It can even be said to be a bit fraught. If it weren't for the three-tailed foxes who worked together in the first battle, they would never meet again without drawing swords. Although the relationship has eased a lot now
, but trust is far from being mentioned, but the other party actually invites him to join the team now?
Is there something weird?
Seeing Lin Ze's doubtful expression, Li Kaixin still didn't know what he was thinking, but she also knew that her invitation was very unexpected, so she patiently explained: "Our team currently lacks someone with strong frontal attack capabilities.
Man, your abilities are just right and you have a good personality, so you are a more suitable teammate."
During the battle with the three-tailed fox, after Lin Ze killed the monsters, he really fulfilled his promise and gave them half of the points, which really changed her view of Lin Ze. Under the situation at that time, if she were a player with a darker heart, even if she didn't
Even if I take the opportunity to kill them, I'm afraid I won't necessarily give them points obediently.
Players with reassuring character are hard to find, and players with strong strength and good character are even rarer, so Li Kaixin and the other two discussed it and decided to try to invite Lin Ze to join the team.
Their invitation this time was considered sincere.
Hearing this, Lin Ze couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Indeed, Li Kaixin's spiritual speaking ability is more auxiliary, and her frontal combat ability is extremely weak. Although Luo Ling's strength after transformation is strong, it has fatal flaws. The other boy is obviously a summoning type of player, playing with the sea of people
The tactics are okay, but the frontal combat capability is still weak.
Strictly speaking, the team of these three people is a partial team. It lacks a core figure who can attack difficulties head-on. It can deal with opponents of the same level. Once it encounters an enemy whose strength is higher than itself, no one can resist the companion in front.
It will be easily defeated.
In this case, it's not that I can't understand why they invited me.
etc!
Lin Ze's expression suddenly changed, as if he thought of something, and he asked tentatively: "The name of your team is not called Supernatural House of Everything, right?"
Li Kaixin was obviously stunned and blurted out: "How do you know?"
"I saw it on the player forum." Lin Ze burst into laughter in his heart. He didn't expect that the original owner who posted a post on the forum to recruit teammates was right in front of him. "Isn't that 'two-dimensional competition master' going to be you?"
"I wouldn't give such a name. It belongs to another teammate." Li Kaixin immediately denied it, then looked at Lin Ze and continued, "What about it, do you want to join our team?"
"As a solo player, it must be difficult to find monsters alone, right? But it's different with a team. We have established a supernatural forum and a corresponding public account. We have a lot of fans and have already made a name for ourselves in the local city. It is easy to
Being able to collect feedback on many abnormal events and then filtering them, the probability of discovering monsters will be greatly increased, and the efficiency will definitely be higher than acting alone!"
I have to admit that what Li Kaixin said was very exciting, but Lin Ze had already made up his mind not to join the player team. He was very satisfied with the current pace of strength development and did not want to put too many constraints on himself. Therefore, as soon as Li Kaixin finished speaking, he
He shook his head and refused: "Sorry, I don't plan to join the player team."
"Why?" Li Kaixin asked.
"I prefer to act alone." Lin Ze shrugged and immediately changed the topic, "But we can cooperate if we have the opportunity."
"cooperate?"
"If you find a monster that you can't deal with, you can work with me to hunt it down, and the points you get will be divided equally according to your contribution."
Now it was Li Kaixin's turn to sink into thought.
However, she didn't hesitate for long before she simply nodded and agreed. Even if she couldn't turn Lin Ze into a teammate, it would be good to have a strong potential partner.
Thinking of this, her expression suddenly changed and she asked: "What level are you at now?"
"Elite level."
"Excellent, elite level!" Li Kaixin's eyes widened and she almost knocked over the lemon tea in her hand.
The content of the elite assessment copy is to kill an intermediate monster, which she still knows.
But Lin Ze was clearly fighting against the three-tailed fox with them not long ago, and his strength was far inferior to that of the intermediate monsters. Why did he suddenly become an elite player?
Is this a cheat?
How did your strength increase so quickly?
Li Kaixin felt a little frustrated in her heart. All three of her team were warrior-level players, and she was quite proud of this. She didn't expect that Lin Ze would become an elite-level player in the blink of an eye.
Elite players are rare even in the three major guilds. They are people who can already step into the core level of the guild. Among the current player groups, they are undoubtedly a group of people standing in the middle and upper levels of the pyramid.
Except for a few hero-level players, this group of people is the most powerful and active.
