Chapter 523: The younger generation with limited mana on the Black River
"What do you want to pick? Mushrooms? Or fungus?" Cheng Lin looked at Evelin with a smile.
When he heard the foreign text, he already knew that the people outside the door were this group of reporters from Reuters.
Now seeing Evelin's delicate face filled with astonishment, Cheng Lin felt inexplicably happy.
"How...why is it you?"
After being stunned for about three seconds, Evelin regained her composure, took two steps back, and bumped into a colleague coming behind her.
"I should be the one to ask you this... What? You didn't give up on the last interview? Are you chasing me here again? But I may have disappointed you. We have confidentiality regulations here." Cheng Lin joked.
He naturally knew what these people were doing here, and they must be coming after Cao Wei.
Judging from Evelin's demeanor, she probably didn't know who it was, but she just knew about it and asked about it from a certain channel, so she took the opportunity to come over and try to interview...
However, Cheng Lin had no intention of cooperating with them.
"Evelin, do you know each other?"
A middle-aged man with a beard behind the female reporter spoke in surprise at this time. Evelin glared at the smiling Cheng Lin, then turned her head and lowered her voice, complaining angrily:
"This is the one I interviewed on the street earlier."
"Is it him?" The middle-aged man had a strange look in his eyes, and then he reached out to Cheng Lin and introduced himself, "Hello, I am the leader of this interview team..."
"Nice to meet you," Cheng Lin hesitated, briefly shook hands with the other party, and then immediately separated, interrupting the other party, "Sorry, we do have confidentiality regulations, so if it is an interview, please go to our superiors
The department will issue a certificate, and we will naturally cooperate when the time comes."
Issue a certificate?
Several reporters looked at each other in confusion.
Cheng Lin smiled and thought that as long as you dare to go, I will teach you what the characteristics of the Xia Kingdom are.
It is said that Xia Guo's football is very bad. Many people say that this generation of players is not good. Cheng Lin has always held different opinions. He believes that it is not the problem of the players, but the problem of the ball. If the football is not played but the ball, then he dares
To protect the title of "national sport", table tennis has nothing to do with it...
Raise your right hand as a farewell gesture:
"If there is no proof, then please leave, we need to rest."
After a moment of silence, Evelin shrugged and said helplessly: "Okay."
Obviously, what happened before had left a very deep impression on her, and Evelin knew clearly that with this young man here, she would not be able to interview smoothly.
A group of people came over excitedly and were asked to come out before they even entered. Naturally, they were in a bad mood.
Seeing a few people turning around and walking out, Cheng Lin suddenly thought of something and asked:
"Ah, by the way, Reporter Evelin, I want to ask, aren't you... busy?"
Evelin turned her head and was stunned for a moment, "Not too busy...what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I'm afraid you guys will be tired."
Cheng Lin smiled and closed the door.
Cao Wei ran over from behind him at this time, raised her head, and was a little unhappy:
"Why do you care if she is tired? You don't care if I am tired."
"...Are you tired?"
"Haha, tired!"
"Drink more hot water when you are tired."
Cheng Lin comforted him casually and immediately walked back to his seat.
Naturally, he was not concerned about Evelin, but was testing his tone.
He was a little surprised when he saw Evelin coming over before. It stands to reason that so many people from the Su country had died, and yet another man in a suit was arrested. This incident happened only a few hours ago. Such big news should be enough for this group of people to digest.
of.
Five or six hours are not enough to interview Xia Guo and then Su Guo.
Where do they come from to pay attention to the little girl with wings? Do they really think that all those with wings are angels?
"Unless this group of people still don't know the news... is it simply a lack of information, or has this matter been suppressed?"
Cheng Lin prefers the latter.
To suppress this matter, Anton must nod, or even the head of the "Shadow" organization in Su country nod. After all, they are the ones who died.
This is very interesting...
Thinking about it, Cheng Lin just put his butt on the chair when he heard footsteps coming from outside the door again. He stood up helplessly:
"Who is it again?"
He quickly walked over, pressed the door handle, and turned it. Cheng Lin looked outside, with a slightly condensed expression on his face.
Standing outside the door was a familiar tall figure: Xing Hong.
"Team Leader Xing?"
Cheng Lin didn't expect that it would be him who came back this time. Shouldn't the general manager be handling affairs outside at the moment?
The exploration had just ended, whether it was casualty statistics, material sorting, or even the previous incident, he should not have been so free.
"That group of reporters came over just now? What did they ask you?" Xing Hong looked serious.
Cheng Lin breathed slightly, blinked, told what happened, and then pointed to the camera in the corner of the conference room:
"That's how it is."
"You did a good job."
Notification arrived, someone will come over and sign a confidentiality agreement for you later."
There really is a confidentiality agreement...
Cheng Lin's words came true, and he felt quite complicated. He nodded and said: "Okay."
Xing Hong pursed his rock-like lips and glanced at Cao Wei, who was hiding behind Cheng Lin in the dragon-transformation state. His eyes suddenly turned orange, and then his thick black eyebrows were raised:
"Are you the student who grew wings?"
"yes……"
"...Very good." Xing Hong was silent for a moment and said with some admiration, "People from your department will come to ask about some details in the projection later. Please recall them first to avoid omissions."
"Oh." Cao Wei responded, then thought to herself that there seemed to be nothing to remember.
Cheng Lin noticed that Xing Hong seemed to want to ask more questions. He seemed to have seen the deep changes in Cao Wei. Considering that the projection disappeared extremely quickly, maybe... he would also compare this matter with Cao Wei.
linked to the changes.
Cheng Lin was naturally happy to see the results, and this was by no means a bad thing for Cao Wei.
Her resume is clean, and she had the ability to transform into a dragon as early as the third level. This time she happened to bump into the projection of a giant dragon creature, and she gained something. It was a stroke of luck. I believe that after this, the Ten Academy will treat her even more.
Pay attention to.
Thinking about this, Cheng Lin suddenly remembered something and asked:
"Team Leader Xing, this projection seems to have ended very quickly. Is this normal?"
The reason why I ask this is mainly to make some insinuations and test the other person's thoughts. With my own personality, it is normal to ask this question and it is a legitimate curiosity.
"This is not clear yet, you..."
Xing Hong looked away and replied, but he just said seven words before he stopped abruptly. His eyes, which were still orange-red, were hot and shiny, like two drops of magma, which made Cheng Lin feel nervous.
Immediately, I heard this tall man say in surprise: "Have you been promoted to the fifth level?!"
So this is what happened...
Cheng Lin breathed a sigh of relief, twitched the corners of his mouth and said with a smile:
"Luckily, for some reason during this projection, spiritual energy suddenly gathered. I happened to be in the city at the center of the island and was chased by those ghost dragons. I escaped up the mountain and was blocked. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise. The concentration of spiritual energy there was extremely high.
Before, I was still a little short of the fifth level, but I just broke through."
What he said was a draft that he had already prepared in order to make his breakthrough seem reasonable and normal enough.
Being chased by the ghost dragon, this Ninth House and Second House team can prove that there is no problem.
He was chased up the mountain, and then the projection disappeared. It made sense that he happened to bump into Cao Wei, after all, Cao Wei was at the top of the mountain at that time.
"This is not luck," Xing Hong said with a complex expression. "Everyone enjoys the same benefits when spiritual energy gathers. Your ability to enter the center is your own merit and has nothing to do with luck.
Moreover, even at the pinnacle of spiritual cultivation, if you want to break through the bottleneck, you need more understanding. Some people are stuck at this step and hesitate to move, while some people can easily step into the door.
This is talent, not luck. If I remember correctly, you are a student in the second class?
Then he should be able to advance to the fifth level after practicing for just over three months... Shen Shanjing is really lucky.
Why did all the good young talent fall into his care?"
As he said this, Xing Hong seemed a little emotional.
Is this... being praised?
Cheng Lin didn't know how to answer for a moment, always feeling guilty...
"I don't……"
"Excessive modesty is hypocrisy."
"
Hearing this, Cheng Lin pursed his lips and said nothing.
"Okay, then you can rest, I'm leaving."
Xing Hong didn't say anything more. It was obvious that he was not a person who liked nonsense too much.
After closing the door again, Cheng Lin just turned around when he saw Cao Wei approaching again, her eyes widened, her face shy, and she asked:
"Cheng Lin, what did he ask you to keep secret? Tell me about it?"
"..."
…
…
After Xing Hong left, the room finally became quiet.
After Cheng Lin checked his body, he began to study Cao Wei's changes.
However, his superpower cannot see clearly inside, he can only touch scales, wings, tail and the like.
Speaking of changes, there are two main points. One is that the color of the scales has changed from blue-black to dark gold, making it look more mysterious. Cheng Lin tested it with a dagger and found that the phosphorus armor's defense seemed to have been greatly improved.
The other one is the wings. In the dragon state, the wings can be retracted. The minimum can be reduced to about the size of two palms, and the maximum can be extended to ten meters.
As for the internal changes, they are completely invisible.
Cheng Lin asked Cao Wei if she had reached the fifth level, but she couldn't answer. According to her, she felt that the position of her Dantian was weird, as if boiling water was boiling. It seemed that she could only wait for people from the Tenth Academy to check it.
About three more hours later, someone from the Tenth Division finally arrived, and it was a man who was familiar to Cheng Lin. When the two colleges jointly explored, the deputy chief of the Tenth Division, Zhou Kang.
Cheng Lin's "transcript" is relatively simple, just use the same rhetoric as before.
As for Cao Wei, she honestly attracted herself into the Dragon City, and then ran all the way to the Dragon Palace without being attacked. She heard the mysterious ghost dragon inside talking to her, and then touched the bones... The whole process of coma is narrated.
Read it again.
She even showed Zhou Kang the photo she took of the word "Dawn" on the main hall, which amazed him.
As for the origin of Chinese characters, it is naturally attributed to Senior Cheng.
However, Cheng Lin was completely unaware of this process. Before asking Cao Wei, he was sent out by Zhou Kang.
…
When we walked out of the three-story building, it was already bright.
Cheng Lin looked at the time, it was seven o'clock sharp.
The sun rises from the east and illuminates the long black river on the national border, its water surface sparkling.
He squinted his eyes, enjoying the rising dawn in the strong coolness of the north, and felt his heart relaxed.
Suddenly, he heard a familiar, excited voice coming from the front. It was the Ninth Hospital Team.
A group of people came running over with smiles on their faces, full of youth and vitality.
When he came closer, Fu Zhongting said in high spirits: "Cheng Lin, I have good news for you. I have been promoted to the fourth rank."
Xie Qingke also smiled and said: "I'm still a little bit short. I feel that I can hope to break through in a week at most."
oh?
Cheng Lin's eyes moved slightly, and he thought happily: It seems that everyone has gained something from that spiritual energy surge, which is great.
"congratulations."
Cheng Lin said sincerely, paused, smiled and said: "I also have good news, I have broken through the fifth level."
