As a small person, Cheng Lin didn't know how much turmoil Shi Shengcun's breakthrough caused.
After realizing that the pressure of competition might increase, Cheng Lin felt a sincere desire to practice.
This exploration has caused his daily practice to stagnate for three days. Cheng Lin is eager to make up for the wasted time. After advancing to the fourth level, his thirst for spiritual energy is getting bigger and bigger, and there are not enough resources for him to waste.
, the only way to improve is through boring hard work.
Return by plane and transfer to bus.
Huang Yin took those formal lapels to the city department to hand over supplies. Cheng Lin, Fu Zhongting and the other four simply took the car back to the college by themselves.
When they saw the familiar gate of the college again, everyone's mood improved.
Although I have only lived here for less than three months, I already have feelings for him.
Show your student ID card, then enter the campus and walk along the main road. The ginkgo trees on both sides of the road have begun to turn light yellow, complementing the greenery.
In another month, these trees will turn completely golden and then drop their leaves one after another. It is said that they will be very beautiful, but students at Cheng Lin's level have not seen it yet.
"Yesterday, my mother called me and asked me if I would like to send thick clothes. I didn't expect that it would be autumn again in the blink of an eye."
Xiao Ningyu walked slowly, breathing the cool air, looking at the trees, and said with some emotion.
The other three people walked side by side with her, and Xie Qingke also smiled: "I also called my family, but I just asked if there is a holiday for the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days."
"Mid-Autumn Festival? I almost forgot if you didn't tell me. I'm still wondering why my family sent me a WeChat message before asking if there was a holiday or something, but I didn't react yet," Fu Zhongting walked slowly, carrying a backpack.
He looked surprised when he heard this, and then said helplessly, "But it's impossible for the college to give you a holiday, right? Ours is not an ordinary school."
"It's definitely impossible to take a vacation, not in this life... But we can ask for leave. Let me do the math. This time I got more than fifty contribution points. How about... exchange it for three days of leave?"
Xiao Ningyu wore a ponytail and twirled her fingers. When she asked for leave, her eyes were bright and her ponytail flicked.
"Using contribution points to ask for leave...what a luxury..."
Fu Zhongting smacked his lips, but looking at his expression, he was a little moved. After thinking about it, he turned to look at Cheng Lin who remained silent, "What about you? Cheng Lin, are you going home for the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
I?
Cheng Lin, who was walking among a few people, thought for a while, then smiled and shook his head: "I'd better forget it. I've delayed a lot of practice these days and I have to make up for it."
"You are already at level 4 and you are still working so hard, which puts a lot of pressure on us."
Fu Zhongting said it half jokingly, half seriously.
Cheng Lin smiled and said nothing, but his eyes looked a little lonely.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon...what about the day for family reunion...It's a pity that I have no family anymore. Will I go back to Ningcheng?
I also celebrate the holidays by myself.
The house hasn't been cleaned in almost three months. I'm afraid it's already covered in dust. What's the point of going back?
Cheng Lin smiled bitterly in his heart.
Although he had gradually gotten used to it, he still felt a little sad after listening to the people next to him discussing animatedly about exchanging their vacation time to go home for the holidays.
How about...find Xiaocao?
Hmm, I don't know if she can come out. Ever since she last entered the frozen soil projection, the Tenth Academy seems to have tightened their control over her.
Shaking his head, Cheng Lin stopped thinking about this issue and turned around to look around. He happened to see a royal blue car in a parking space on the roadside. It looked quite bright among a row of white and black cars.
Eye.
He was slightly startled, glanced at the license plate, and felt something familiar inexplicably, but for a moment, he couldn't remember where he had seen this car.
…
I went back to the Academic Affairs Building to report, but it was obvious that I would not be able to attend today's class.
After saying goodbye to Fu Zhongting and others, and making an appointment to have dinner with Sun Xiao and the others in the evening, Cheng Lin dragged his tired body back to the single-family building, took out the key, opened the door, and entered his dormitory.
He put his backpack on the table and lay on his back, staring at the ceiling in a daze.
After a while, he raised his right hand, and as if by magic, there was an amber-like magic core in his hand. It was brown-yellow, and the blood on the surface had long been wiped clean. Inside, there was a structure similar to a cat's eye.
, beautiful and mysterious, rubbing this magic core, Cheng Lin began to think about the "Spirit Gathering Ceremony".
"The ink is easy to buy, but the remaining problem is the gold powder. There is still some gold in the spiritual space. It was seized during the frozen soil projection, but I don't know if it is enough. You can try it first. It just happens that there is no place to sell this gold...
…The only problem is how to grind it into gold powder. How about buying a file and rubbing it slowly by yourself? That seems to be the only way to do it, but it’s a pity that Ciri doesn’t have hands, otherwise she can let it rub it.”
"It's just that even if the ceremony materials are complete, where can we hold the ceremony? It certainly can't be in the academy, but I just came back and there is no reason to go out for a short time. Otherwise, we should wait and concentrate on practicing during this time."
Just when Cheng Lin was lying on the bed, secretly making up his mind to concentrate on practice, suddenly the mobile phone in his pocket rang. He took it out and looked at it, and it turned out to be the counselor's phone number.
Frowning slightly, Cheng Lin clicked to answer: "Hello?"
Then I heard the counselor on the other end of the phone say: "I just learned that you are back. Come to the Academic Affairs Building and I have something to tell you."
Something happened? What else happened?
Cheng Lin was a little confused but still said, "Okay, I'll come right away."
After hanging up the phone, Cheng Lin jumped up and went to the bathroom to wash his face. He carefully washed away the dust from his brows to make himself more energetic. Then he went out and went to the Xuezheng Building again. Unexpectedly, he was directly hit by the police when he arrived.
The counselor was led to the office of Executive Vice President Kong.
Dean Kong, who had severely criticized Cheng Lin during the deduction, now had a kind look on his face and smiled like a Maitreya Buddha. He first asked about the exploration and then got to the point.
"On the second day after you left, the academy received an official letter from Dean Wu of the Demon City. However, considering that you were in the exploration team, they temporarily suppressed it. They urged me a few times. Now it's good, you are back.
, I will tell you about this." Vice President Kong adjusted his glasses, took out a document from the second drawer from the right side of the brown desk and handed it to Cheng Lin, saying, "Dean Wu
I want to second you for a few days to help complete an important repair task. Please pack up and don’t leave today. After all, I just came back. Let’s rest first and then go there tomorrow.”
Cheng Lin took the document with a blank look on his face. When he lowered his head, he saw that it was indeed an "official secondment letter."
The official document is as follows:
Letter regarding the secondment of student Cheng Lin’s work
Modu Reiki Science Institute:
Due to work needs, with the approval of Comrade Shen Shanjing, I hope that Cheng Lin, a student from your college, will be seconded to the "Magic Research Institute" to perform the work of "assistant researcher".
Please support and give me feedback.
…Year…Month…Day
Underneath, there is a bright red official seal of "Modu Spiritual Science Research Institute", and the three words "Wu Mingxun" are written in a black pen.
