Chapter 23 First Arrival
Lu Yi spent two extremely pleasant months.
He was originally paying attention to the disputes among the beastmen, but Duke Klein seemed unwilling to let him get involved in the dispute and refused to tell him any relevant information.
Later, Lu Yi went to the Orc Tavern several times to try to run into Chris, but the rabbit man seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and he returned empty-handed every time.
So Lu Yi could only put the matter of the beastman aside for the time being and make plans after other discoveries were made.
Life is back on track.
There were no idiots with nothing to do to provoke him, and no Xia to put on pretense in front of him.
In the morning, I learned swordsmanship with Aster, and in the afternoon, I learned the perception and application of magical elements with Zorn.
Occasionally, 857 would broadcast to him the suffering life of Xia in the correctional institution.
[The reputation he had worked so hard to build up was wasted, and he was even exiled to the suburbs. ]
[If he only hated you a little before, he must hate you to death now.] 857 gloated.
[“I see.”]
Since the time of baptism, Xia's hostility towards him has soared to 100/100.
Although the value no longer changed afterwards, the bloody value bar after reaching the maximum value began to turn from red to black, and became darker and darker.
In just two months, this value bar has completely turned from red to black.
It can be seen that Xia was really sad in the past two months, which is why she hated him so much.
[“He really hates me. Why does he hate me so much?”] Lu Yi said.
He intuitively knew that such strong hatred would not arise out of thin air, but where was the initial fuse of the hatred?
He would not believe that this was just the jealousy of an illegitimate child towards a legitimate child. After all, he had never seen Xiaduo hate Astor and Zorn.
It can't be because he looks easy to bully, right?
[“Actually, I’m still a little worried about letting him go to St. Dover like this.”]
The protagonist's halo has only dissipated by 20%, and Xia, as the son of the plane, may encounter adventures at any time.
Just like before the baptism, didn’t he also encounter high-level orcs and even easily get rare potions?
[What should I do? Should I use that vest and follow him? ]
[“No.”] Lu Yi shook his head, [“Although the vest can exist at the same time as my real body, and it can also automatically fill in the setting loopholes…”]
[“But the deluxe vest is an S-level item! I’ve seen it in the mall, and the cheapest one costs 88,880 points. It’s a bit of a waste to use such a luxurious item to monitor him, unless I can draw another one…”]
Lu Yi paused, [“Unless I can draw another one.”]
[“857, do you think I can draw another S-level item?”]
[Ah? You're asking me? I think it's possible... Didn't you say you've left Africa and joined the EU? It can't be a one-time experience card, right? ]
[“Then use it.”] Lu Yi said decisively.
857 hesitated for a moment, [My opinion was adopted, but I feel a little aggrieved. Hmm... I think you were planning to use it anyway, right? ]
[“This is an illusion.”] Lu Yi said firmly, [“We will be preparing to leave for Bryside tomorrow, and the school term in St. Dover will start soon. We need to finalize the vest settings today…”]
857 was distracted by him and followed his words: [Um, 61 do you want to start setting up the vest now? ]
Lu Yi nodded, and the little puppet in his hand appeared out of thin air.
[Ding Dong! The player has successfully used the S-level item [Vest (Deluxe Edition)]! ]
[Vest setting in progress…]
…
[Vest setting in progress…]
[Setting successful! Vest has been entered! ]
[Ding Dong, players please jump to the personal panel to switch to view the vest panel! ]
[Name: Lanter Hobbs] (/Switch battle panel/Switch character)
【Gender: Male】
[Race: Human]
[Physical strength: 90/100 (quite good)]
[Agility: 80 (Runs faster than a rabbit~)]
[Strength: 80 (My strength is as great as the mountains and my power is unmatched!)]
[Charm: 96 (My friend, although your face can only be described as delicate, the charm emanating from your soul cannot be concealed!)]
[Title: None]
[Vest introduction (only appears at initialization): You are the son of a noble from a remote country. After you unexpectedly awaken a powerful talent, you are successfully admitted to Saint Dover. You have been neglected at home for many years, but you have become the object of everyone's flattery overnight. But you know clearly that you are no longer from the same world as them. Your future lies in the more distant and brighter holy city of Kadifan. ]
Lu Yi nodded, quite satisfied with the new vest he had made.
Except for the name which he picked randomly, the race, surname background and attributes are all random data automatically generated by the vest.
The generation of vest data can be random ten times. Lu Yi hesitated and made a choice before deciding on the current vest settings.
The race has been human for ten times, only the background is different, from the prince of a small country to the common people.
Lu Yi only thought about it for a while and then confirmed his background.
His own background is prominent enough, and choosing someone with a relatively humble background would broaden his choices.
But lowliness is only lowliness. After all, the oppression of civilians and slaves in this era was almost inhumane.
The identity of a down-and-out petty noble is just right; he will not be oppressed by the lower classes, nor will he attract the jealousy of the masses.
Moreover, such an identity is perfect for putting pressure on Xia, who thinks highly of himself.
In terms of nobility, Xia cannot compare to Lu Yi, and in terms of humbleness, he cannot compare to Rand.
As for the vest's combat panel, Lu Yi chose to inherit the combat attributes of the main vest panel without thinking.
After all, the original battle panel is too powerful. Even if it is automatically randomly generated ten times, it is impossible to exceed the attributes of the original character.
Lu Yi would be a fool to not inherit the incredible attribute and gamble on a 100% chance of being demoted.
The young man with long golden brown hair suddenly opened his eyes, revealing deep light brown eyes beneath his delicate features.
His facial features were apparently plain and delicate, but the moment he opened his eyes, he seemed to be infused with endless magical power.
Just one glance can capture everyone's attention and mind.
Lanter tilted his head in distress.
The effect of this look was completely different from what he had originally expected - it was completely the opposite of what he had expected.
When it comes to face-shaping, it can be as delicate and beautiful as you want.
But Lu Yi pinched Zhang Qingxiu's face deliberately for follow-up actions.
You have to know that even if it is the same behavior, the results produced by different people will be very different.
What Lu Yi wants is to be ordinary and not attract attention.
Lu Yi silently switched perspective.
The next second his perspective shifted to Rand.
It's a wonderful feeling.
Lu Yi looked at his body standing there, as if it had entered standby mode, with only a faint smile without any emotion.
"Lu Yi Klein?" Lu Yi said.
The main body raised an eyebrow slightly and looked at him without saying anything.
"It's amazing, is this standby hosting?" Lu Yi exclaimed.
He stopped focusing on his own identity and began to experience a new perspective.
Lu Yi lifted up his now long hair, wondering if it would be better to cut it off.
[“Tongzi, can I cut my hair? I clearly set it to be short.”]
[Yes.] 857, [But after cutting it, it will grow back after one night. Is this one of the few drawbacks of the deluxe vest?]
[Host, if you mind, you can consider getting a fully equipped version of the vest. That one has no flaws and can specify a race! ]
[“How many points?”] Lu Yi asked tentatively.
[Not much, not much, just one hundred and eighty-eight thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight. One hundred and eighty-eight thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight, take the fully-matched vest home happily! ]
Lu Yi's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a polite smile and said: ["I will definitely do it next time."]
One hundred and eighty-eight thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight!
Why doesn't it go grab it?!
[“I think long hair is good now.”]
Lu Yi took out a mirror and felt very uncomfortable looking at the unfamiliar face in it.
[“It feels weird…”]
[Is it pretty?] 857 answered.
Lu Yi: [……]
[“Just shut up.”]
Lu Yi clenched his fists and tried hard to get used to Vest's body.
When the perspective is switched, there is almost no difference between the vest and his real body.
The only difference is that Rand, who exists as a pseudonym, can go offline at any time, but Lu Yi cannot.
At the same time, what is even more incredible is that the Vest Rand can be deployed anytime and anywhere.
[“What a good stuff! It’s worthy of being an S-level item.”] Lu Yi exclaimed.
[“I’m already looking forward to giving Xia a surprise when school starts!”]
…
The next day.
Lu Yi bid farewell to his family and set out for Bryside alone.
Mrs. Klein originally wanted to arrange for a few attendants and servants to accompany Lu Yi so that someone would take care of his daily life in the academy.
It took Lu Yi's repeated and firm refusal for her to finally give up the idea.
Fortunately, the journey went smoothly. There were no rioting monsters or sudden man-made disasters. Lu Yi arrived at his destination one day earlier than originally planned.
The city-state where Braceside is located is called Katelila. Katelila means the flower on the crown in the common language of the Isaiah continent, symbolizing blooming and splendor.
This is indeed a city full of flowers. Flowers in full bloom can be seen everywhere, along the streets and outside the windows of houses.
The road planning of Katelila is not as neat and orderly as that of the New Victory Royal City. Each adjacent house has a different style and there is no deliberate attempt to unify the style.
It is this kind of casualness and unrestrainedness that creates the unique flavor of Katelila.
Thanks to the superiority of the independent city-state system, the residents of the city also seem to be more energetic than the people of various empires.
Lu Yi rode on a white horse and slowly took off the hood of his cloak.
The dazzling golden hair was a little messy, but its owner tucked it behind her ear without any care. However, there were still a few strands of hair that escaped and lingered on Lu Yi's fair and flawless face.
Lu Yi slightly widened his blue eyes and looked at this new city with curiosity.
He rode his horse along the main road, not very fast.
Some passers-by just took an unintentional glance at him and their breath was held in place.
But most people just stared at him blankly.
Do not look directly at the gods, and do not offend the gods.
But the young man riding the white horse was also so noble and beautiful that people dared not act rashly, for fear of causing an unhappy expression on his face.
People all quickened their pace, not wanting to be left behind by the boy.
But even if I follow him, how long can I stay behind him?
Finally, someone couldn't help but speak to him boldly.
"Hi! Dear guest from afar, are you a freshman at Braceside College? Please allow me to show you the way?!" the brown-haired boy said tentatively.
Lu Yi blinked and looked at him. After confirming that the young man was talking to him, he said, "Yes, I am indeed a new student who has registered at Bryside. But, I mean, how do you know that I am a new student and not an old customer?"
As Lu Yi spoke, he slowed down the white horse's pace so that the young man who was talking to him would not be in a hurry.
"Please take me to Bryside."
The brown-haired boy smiled shyly, "You're welcome! I'm happy to help you!"
Then the young man said confidently: "I was born and raised in Katelila. If you have ever lived here, I would definitely know you."
"But there are so many people coming and going, how can you guarantee that you have seen and remembered every one of them?"
Seeing that Lu Yi didn't believe it, the young man became anxious.
"I really didn't lie to you! Someone as outstanding as you can't be unknown. If I had seen you - even if I just saw you from a distance in the crowd, I would never forget it."
The brown-haired boy spoke so sincerely that Lu Yi felt embarrassed to refute him.
Fortunately, the boy didn't care about Lu Yi's silence and continued to chatter about the customs and characteristics of Katelila.
Lu Yi's occasional agreement would make him more interested.
Anora felt that this should be the happiest moment of her life.
He followed the blond, blue-eyed nobleman closely, racking his brains to search for interesting facts about Katelila's customs.
The blond boy was not as noble and arrogant as other nobles. His eyes that looked at him from time to time were gentle and full of smiles.
Anora was about to drown in his watery eyes.
His heartbeat was pounding like a drum, and his suppressed emotions seemed like an offense to the gods.
Occasionally, when he heard something interesting, the blond boy would agree with him.
His voice is ten thousand times more beautiful than the mermaid's singing!
Anora once accidentally sneaked into a high-end auction, and the finale of the auction was an orange-tailed mermaid.
The mermaid sang a tune that people could not understand, and it seemed to lure the soul to sink into the enchantment.
He was fascinated by what he heard.
I don't know when, Anora fell asleep leaning against the corner.
When he woke up again, his head felt as dizzy as if it was filled with lead.
With just one glance, he was awakened by the tragic scene before him.
Everyone in the auction was slaughtered. Their deaths were extremely miserable and horrific. Dried blood flowed from the auction table all over the dark aisle, and the stench in the air was nauseating.
On the stage, the prison that trapped the mermaid was wide open, and the trapped person had long disappeared.
And he was the only survivor of the massacre.
Anora, who luckily managed to survive, would break out in cold sweats whenever she recalled that scene.
But even in this chilling cold sweat, the mermaid's funeral song kept lingering in his mind.
It tempts people to sink and there is no way to escape.
Anora once thought that the mermaid's singing was the most moving voice in the world. Although she knew it was dangerous, she would still fall for it regardless of life or death.
But it wasn't until today that Anora realized how wrong she was.
The existence of the blond boy made him realize that the ultimate sound that seemed to be imbued with magic did not necessarily have to be accompanied by danger.
There is no need to sacrifice your life to hear that ultimate sound.
Maybe even just on a sunny afternoon.
He followed closely beside the young man on horseback.
The boy's expression was gentle and his tone was relaxed.
What a beautiful picture this should have been.
He was extremely grateful for his bold behavior just now, which allowed him to steal a moment of joy from the hands of the gods.
But more greedy thoughts kept emerging in Anora's heart.
What a greedy thought that is!
Anora didn't dare to say it, even thinking about it made him tremble.
Extreme joy and desire were churning in his heart, and such intense emotions made his originally clear and logical explanation become stumbling.
In the end he didn't even know what the hell he was talking about!
Did he disappoint the blond nobleman on the white horse?
Anora thought in panic.
"Here we are! I can see the gate of Bryside!"
In his panic, he heard the blond noble's surprised voice.
"Ah, yes! It is Braeside! Here we are, sir!"
As Anora spoke to the noble in a loud voice, she felt a sense of loss in her heart.
He should have been thankful that Braceside had saved the embarrassing situation, but he couldn't stop the inexplicable loss in his heart.
His disqualified commentary didn't even catch the blond boy's attention.
Yes, he was just a humble and insignificant civilian passerby.
If nothing unexpected happens, this will be his only chance of contact with the blond noble.
The next second, this sense of loss turned into reluctance to say goodbye to the boy.
The excited boy didn't notice his reluctance, and before leaving he generously threw two golden coins to him.
Two full gold coins!
He hurriedly caught the gold coin thrown by the boy.
Anora opened her mouth, wanting to say that she was not leading him for reward.
He just wanted to be around him, that's all.
But he couldn't get the words out.
There was another voice in Anora's heart.
Take it! This is something he gave you! It is the only token that can prove the bond between you two!
He would not use the two gold coins anyway, even though it would allow him to do nothing and lie at home leisurely for a year or two.
"Please wait a moment, sir!" Anora's voice was dry.
"May I know your name?"
The blond noble was about to leave, but when he heard Anora's voice, he turned and looked at him.
His slightly long golden hair was blown by the wind as he turned around, shining even more dazzlingly than the gold coins in Anora's hand.
Anora subconsciously clenched the gold coin.
The hard gold coins hurt his palms.
But he didn't let go, as if he could grab something by doing so.
"My name?" The blond noble tilted his head slightly.
"Louis Klein."
…
[“The residents of Katelila are so enthusiastic!”] Lu Yi exclaimed.
[Are you sure they are not after your beauty or gold? ] 857 couldn't help but complain.
[“What are you talking about! Can’t you think of this world as something better?”] Lu Yi said righteously.
857 refused to communicate and turned off the microphone.
857 would never admit that it was doubting Tongsheng at this moment.
Is this world really as beautiful as Lu Yi said?
Just like on the way here, with its currently limited computing power, there is a 99% chance that a lone noble like Lu Yi, who claims "I'm super rich" on his head, will be targeted.
But it waited all the way and didn't encounter any robbers.
This doesn't make sense.
857 I am afraid that you will never understand it even if you rack your brains. There is a saying in the human world that is mysterious but true, that is, "Appearance is justice."
Lu Yi ignored 857 who suddenly fell silent.
At this moment, his attention was completely attracted by the magnificent building in front of him.
Braceside College is composed of a group of elemental-style buildings, the most majestic of which is its tall school gate.
There was a shed next to the gate, with a man and a woman sitting underneath, who seemed to be guiding the new young students.
Lu Yi led the horse towards them.
The two men were still sleepy, and when they saw Lu Yi leading the white horse towards them from afar, they thought they were dreaming.
It was not until Lu Yi walked in front of them that they stood up suddenly as if they had just woken up from a dream.
"Junior, you are Lu Yi Klein, right?"
"Yes, do you know me?"
"We just know you." The long-haired woman smiled.
Lu Yi blinked, "Blonde hair and blue eyes should be easy to identify."
With all the commotion at the baptism ceremony, it's no surprise that he would be recognized at a glance.
Dui smiled and didn't tell Lu Yi that Robbins didn't use simple and rough words like "blonde hair and blue eyes" to describe him.
He said: In the crowd, the one person you see at first sight and the only one you see is Louis Klein.
She was a little skeptical of Robbins' words at first, but when she really saw Lu Yi, she felt that Robbins' description was not exaggerated enough.
After all, she was still suspecting that she was in a dream and dreamed of a blonde angel.
"Come on, junior, we'll take you to the dormitory." the man said.
Lu Yi nodded and followed him. After walking two steps, he realized and said, "Seniors, are you going to lead me there? Don't you need to leave someone here to show the way to the other freshmen?"
The man standing on his left, Biero, smiled and said, "No need, we are waiting at the door just for you, my junior brother."
"Yes, Braceside does not have a tradition of guiding freshmen. The college map and freshman registration process are clearly stated in the admission letter." Dui explained.
"Then I..." Lu Yi said in surprise.
No wonder the shed they stayed in was so simple and shabby, it turned out there was no such thing as a freshman orientation office!
"You are the exception," said Biero.
"It is the only exception since the founding of Bryside," Duy added.
"It doesn't sound good." Lu Yi tilted his head.
Biero was amused, patted him on the shoulder and said, "As a genius, it's normal to get some special treatment. Everything has its pros and cons, but as far as I know, some troublemakers in the senior grades have already set their sights on you, little brother. You..."
Biero paused. He originally wanted to persuade people to be able to bend and stretch, and not to rush into a head-on confrontation and suffer losses.
But when Lu Yi looked at him with his beautiful blue eyes, he was suddenly speechless.
He was wrong.
"What about me?" Lu Yi asked puzzledly.
And it is totally wrong.
"It's nothing, the God of Light is with you." said Biero.
Why did he feel that someone wanted to hurt Lu Yi?
This is ridiculous!
No one would be willing to touch this face that looks like the beauty of a goddess.
Piero dared to bet that as long as this junior fellow was not an arrogant and unreasonable person, he would have a very comfortable life in Braceside.
No.
Even though he is arrogant and domineering, even though he looks down on others, this face can still attract countless people to flock to him and willingly become the vicious dogs under his blue eyes.
What's more, he has such amazing talent.
Extraordinary talent and good looks.
Which window did the Creator close for him? !
"Come on, don't scare the little brother." Dui pushed Biero away and squeezed in between the two of them.
"Lu Yi, can I call you that?"
"Okay, I don't know the names of the two seniors yet."
"My name is Dui, and the boy who smiles like an idiot is called Biero." Dui first pointed at himself, and then at the man with a rich expression.
"Although most of the things that Braceside needs to pay attention to are mentioned in the freshman handbook, there are still some things you might want me to talk to you about?" Dui said.
"certainly!"
A few things about the academy! Lu Yi instantly became alert.
Listening to gossip is great!
"What we know is that there are four grades in total at Braeside, and each grade has a prefect and two deputy prefects."
Lu Yi nodded. The prefect system was mentioned in the freshman handbook.
"Dui and I are the class leaders of the second graders," Piero interrupted.
"Wow!" Lu Yi exclaimed in applause, "It's so great! So amazing."
It was clearly just a polite compliment, but Piero acted as if he had drunk a pound of strong liquor.
An incomparable sense of complacency and protectiveness surged in his chest - even though he knew that Lu Yi's talent was far superior to his, he was caught in such a strange vortex of self-conceit at the moment.
God of Light, he is not a conceited person who likes to be flattered.
Biero had heard countless clever and natural flattery before, but no matter how wonderful the words were, they were not as good as Lu Yi's simple "Awesome" at this moment.
"It's nothing big. I believe if you think about it, you will definitely be the head class leader of the first grade this year!" Biero scratched his head shyly.
"Of course, if you encounter any difficult problems, you can come to me!"
Du Yi looked down upon his fawning appearance like a peacock spreading its tail, rolled his eyes at him, and pulled Lu Yi and said, "Lu Yi, ignore him, he is unreliable, come to me if you have any problem."
"Hey? Dui, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll go to the dean and sue you for false accusation! I..."
Dui completely ignored Biero's accusations and continued to explain to him while looking into Lu Yi's beautiful blue eyes.
"The essence of the prefect system is the manifestation of various interest groups. Although on the surface Braceside is a perfect academy that does not care about family background or race, you know, Lu Yi, where there are people, there will be disputes."
Dui paused, "We live in a time when class concepts are so deeply rooted that contradictions are inherently irreconcilable, especially in a place where everyone holds power."
Lu Yi nodded and said, "The current situation cannot be changed, at least not overnight."
"Yes." Dui sighed, "Sometimes I hope that a wise ruler will emerge. He must have absolute power and extraordinary wisdom. Only in this way can he unify the scattered empires of the human race and solve the imperfections and contradictions of the current system."
Lu Yi did not comment.
Dui didn't think about what Lu Yi said, and continued: "Above the prefects, there are twelve seats. The twelve seats come from six colleges and are representatives of the students of Bryside. They are also the pinnacle of power in this place, second only to the school. Although the status of the twelve seats is higher than that of the prefects, the three prefects in the school are all members of the twelve seats, so there is no question of whether they are higher or lower."
Twelve seats, it's also stated in the freshman handbook. Lu Yi continued to nod.
"The three head and deputy headmasters of the fourth grade are all from noble families, the three headmasters of the third grade are all commoners, and the second grade..."
Dui's eyes flickered. "The second-year prefect is from a noble family, while Piero and I are both commoners."
Lu Yi turned his head slightly.
Just when Dui thought he was going to ask further, Lu Yi asked, "What about the Church and other races?"
Dui heaved a sigh of relief and explained with a smile: "The Holy See? The Holy See!"
"At least on the surface, everyone is a member of the Church. As for the deeper conflicts? No one has ever dared to bring them to light. As for other races, their numbers are so small compared to humans that even their voices are easily ignored."
Lu Yi nodded thoughtfully.
"Oh! Here we are! Junior, you can leave your horse here! All the horses of Braceside are placed in this location." said Biero.
After completing the formalities for depositing the horses, the three of them happened to encounter a large steam carriage passing by.
Surprisingly, there was no one in the car.
Lu Yi sat next to Dui, opened his eyes wide and wanted to listen to her continue.
But Dui suddenly stopped talking and said, "If you ask me, there's actually nothing much to say. In many cases, the situation may not be that bad."
Lu Yi looked confused.
Dui rubbed his head and said distressedly: "Forget it, Lu Yi, just pretend I didn't say anything! I feel like I have ruined your wonderful first day in Bryside!"
"I told you it was unreliable, but Mr. Robbins insisted on asking me to tell you all this nonsense..."
"Teacher Robbins?" Lu Yi repeated.
The steam train drove to the student dormitory, and the three of them talked as they walked.
"Yes, you should have seen him. If I remember correctly, it was Mr. Robbins who represented you in this special recruitment."
"Yes, I have met Mr. Robbins, but I just wonder why he asked you to tell these things?"
"Who knows!" Dui shrugged. "Teacher Robbins always has some wild and sudden ideas, but maybe he has some deeper meaning that we can't figure out for the time being? Who cares..."
"Ah, we're here—" Piero pointed to the detached house in front and said, "This is a specially approved single dormitory! I'll go ahead and clear the way for you!"
Dui waved his hand to signal him to go first, and continued talking to Lu Yi as he slowly walked towards the dormitory.
"Hey, just treat what I just said as gossip. Bryside College is still a wonderful place! I believe you will have a wonderful four years! I promise!"
As soon as the words came out, the two of them happened to walk into the wide-open dormitory.
The messy interior scene made Dui, who had not yet closed his mouth, close it silently.
She gave a subtle and awkward smile and whispered, "Biero, can you tell me what happened in this room? I remember that you were in charge of the housekeeping of the specially recruited students, which should also include checking the dormitories?"
Piero shuddered and immediately defended himself, "My men came here to check last night! Who knew it would turn out like this today!"
The two of them looked at each other, neither of them willing to give in, and finally they both looked at Lu Yi guiltily.
After all, no matter what, there was indeed a problem in Lu Yi's dormitory.
The scene before my eyes could only be described as a mess.
The bedsheets and quilt covers were torn to pieces, small pieces of fabric and cotton were scattered all over the floor, and the originally clean and bright floor tiles were now covered with patches of mud. The cozy little sofa was scratched, and the brand new wooden desk was also covered with dense scratches.
[Ding Dong! The malicious level has reached the minimum threshold! The limited-time low-level task "Slap Thor in the Face" has been triggered——]
[Task name: Dignity that cannot be trampled upon]
[Task Introduction: The God-favored person who has attracted the attention of the public, the special student of Braceside, was provoked by an unknown person on the first day of school. This is not a trivial matter that can be ignored casually. You must let the whole school know that if you provoke you, you will have to pay the due price.]
[Mission Objective: Hit Thor in the face in public/Hit Thor in the face with gold coins in public]
[Mission-limited cheat code: When a slap is about to happen, the person being slapped becomes frozen in place and cannot dodge.]
【Task time: 24h】
[Task Reward: 250~500 points (rewards will be given depending on the degree of task completion)]
[“Thor? Who is this person? I don’t remember his name…”]
[I am a hen too.] 857, who is playing badly, has the attitude of a salted fish who knows nothing about anything.
[“And this slap in the face, why does it sound like a clear action to me? A real beating?”]
[I know how to do this question. I’ll do it by hitting it! The real deal!] 857 said affirmatively.
Lu Yi was speechless. He felt embarrassed when he thought that he had to rush up to a stranger and slap him in the face after completing the task.
It was to the point where I had goosebumps all over my body.
This mission is so weird.
He doesn't have any weird preferences!
【“This mission is really…”】 Lu Yi couldn’t describe it, 【“The rituals and music are in chaos.”】
[So do you want to give up this mission? ]
【“How is that possible?”】 Lu Yi immediately refuted.
He said decisively: [“This is 500 points!”]
Isn't it just a little embarrassing emotion? He can definitely overcome it for the mission!
A poor guy with only 300 points is not qualified to be picky about tasks.
He not only wants to play! He also wants to play in a variety of ways and with new ideas! He wants to get a full 500 points!
All communication takes only a moment.
Under the gazes of the two people, Lu Yi struggled to find a relatively clean place to stay.
Biero and Dui's expressions were even uglier than his.
"Oh my God of Light! Are we attracting thieves?" said Piero.
"It looks more like it was chewed by a dog," Dui complained.
"No matter how it happened, the person who did it was too arrogant!" Piero said angrily.
"He simply doesn't take us seriously. Can I take this as a provocation?"
"It should be directed at me." Lu Yi said calmly.
"No matter who it is directed at, it's a slap in our faces!" Piero became more and more angry as he looked at the messy scene in front of him.
"We must get to the bottom of this! We must teach this daring fellow a lesson."
Dui nodded, "Yes, such a big mistake has happened. If you don't hold us accountable, we will both suffer."
"Then is there any way to find the culprit?" Lu Yi asked.
Biero and Dui looked at each other.
Dui said: "Yes, there is, but it may be a bit expensive."
"I know there is a kind of magic stone that can reproduce the random scenes from the previous 24 hours. This magic stone can only last for one second and is a consumable item that can only be used once. However, the general selling price on the mainland is around 500 gold coins per stone."
Dui shrugged. "What's even more sad is that according to probability, we can't identify the culprit in one or two attempts."
Piero gasped.
As a civilian magician, he had lived a tight life in the past two years and had only saved up a few thousand gold coins.
This would probably drain all his family assets!
But looking at Lu Yi's calm yet extremely beautiful face, Biero gritted his teeth and said, "...Use it, I'll cover all the expenses!"
After all, the mistake this time was indeed his responsibility due to improper supervision, so it is only natural for him to pay for it.
Now Biero is just hoping to go to the finance department to get reimbursement, and get back as much as he can.
Every glittering gold coin is his life!
Dui knew him and couldn't help but cast a suspicious look at him: "Are you sure?"
His gold coins!
"I'm sure!" Piero said with a grim expression.
"Sorry, wait a moment." Lu Yi interrupted them.
"What's wrong, Lu Yi?" Dui immediately turned his gaze back to him.
"Is the magic stone you just mentioned called the Reflection Stone?" Lu Yi asked.
"Yes, this kind of magic stone usually has a red, uneven, wavy rock jade appearance..."
Dui automatically muted herself as she spoke because she saw the Echo Stone in Lu Yi's hand.
"Uh, that's it, yes."
"That's no problem, we can just use the Reflection Stone."
Lu Yi casually tossed the red magic stone in his hand.
Biero broke into a cold sweat when he saw Lu Yi's nonchalant look, and his heart was beating along with the rising and falling of the magic stone in his hand.
These functional magic stones are extremely valuable. If you drop them, the five hundred gold coins will be wasted!
Dui's expression remained unchanged. He sighed and said, "A few pieces are definitely not enough. Let's go to the trading company first to see how many Shadow Stones are left. I hope we can buy enough Magic Stones. Otherwise, we won't be able to catch the culprit in 24 hours."
Lu Yi blinked and asked her, "How many Shadow Stones do you think you'll need, Dui?"
Dui estimated for a while and said hesitantly, "It will cost at least thirty or forty dollars, right? If we're lucky, twenty dollars might be enough."
Piero, who was standing next to him, felt his heart bleeding when he heard this.
"How many do you think I have?"
Dui paused as he was about to leave, and looked back at him in surprise: "...You don't happen to have 20 or 30 Reflection Stones on you, do you?"
She was also surprised at first when she saw Lu Yi had the Reflection Stone in his hand.
But according to Dui's guess, Lu Yi only has a few pieces of echo stones at most.
The Echo Stone is not a commonly used magic stone. It is expensive and has no other uses. Ordinary people would not carry such a useless magic stone. It was unexpected that Lu Yi had the Echo Stone.
But Lu Yi shook his head slightly, smiled and said to her: "More than that..."
"I have a hundred Echo Stones on me."
Dui still underestimated the wealth of the Klein family. The Klein family was enough to be considered the top 0.001% of the richest people on the Isaiah continent.
Even the Victor Empire is wary of the endless wealth he represents.
As Duke Klein's most beloved child, it is no exaggeration to say that Lu Yi is extremely rich.
Whether it was gold coins, magic stones, potions, or skill scrolls, the elders of the Klein family prepared so much for him.
Even magic stones like the Recalling Stone, which might never be used, were prepared in full, one hundred in case Lu Yi needed them someday.
Lu Yi laughed as he looked at the two people's stunned expressions.
Are you kidding? You can’t even imagine how wealthy the Klein family is!
"I decided to take back my reckless and arrogant words just now." Biero swallowed and said.
He was completely conquered by the heroic spirit that was overwhelming him!
"What?" Dui said with difficulty.
"This is a big boss, I can't protect him. He can kill me with gold coins!" Piero said with an exaggerated expression, "My dearest junior brother Lu Yi, please protect me for the next three years! Your most sincere Piero is willing to follow you at any time!"
"What a messed up name." Dui complained.
And here is my junior brother Lu Yi!
Lu Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and just thought that Biero was joking.
The next second, he picked up a bunch of Reflection Stones and said, "Can we start now?"
"Of course!" Dui naturally would not refuse him.
The three of them gathered around a pile of echoing stones that looked like a small hill and began to inject magic power into them.
Because Lu Yi is just a freshman who has just come into contact with magic, the main force injecting magic power is still Dui and Biero.
Fortunately, both of them had a solid foundation in magic and sufficient magic reserves. The Echo Stones lit up one after another without stopping.
But unfortunately, I have never been able to capture the perfect picture.
Either the time is wrong and the person cannot be seen at all, or there is only a blurry silhouette in the picture and no useful information can be distinguished.
In just a short while, twenty or thirty Recall Stones were consumed.
Biero felt sorry for using it, but Lu Yi didn't even blink an eye.
In the end, Lu Yi slowly opened a stone with a clear face image.
[“This person… seems familiar.”] Lu Yi frowned slightly.
"Hiss..." Biero came closer and said, "I know this person, a new orc this year! I think his name is Suo, Suo or something?"
"Thor." Lu Yi said.
It was the high-level orc who was with Xia Chris before, Lu Yi remembered.
"Ah? It seems to be really called this name. Do you know the culprit?" Piero said dumbfounded.
Lu Yi shook his head, "Not really knowing him, I just happen to know him for some reason."
Except for the time when he wore the invisibility cloak, strictly speaking, Lu Yi and Thor had no intersection or contact at all.
It was hard for this loyal dog, as he even went to Braceside just to vent Xia's anger.
"It doesn't matter. As long as we know this person, everything else will be easy. The most troublesome step of determining the candidate has been skipped!" Dui said.
"Yes! Let's go find him directly! I know which buildings all the new orc students are assigned to this year!" Piero led the way confidently.
The student dormitories in Bryside were almost all in the same large area, and they soon arrived at the dormitory building for the orc freshmen.
What a coincidence, Thor was talking to a dog orc downstairs.
He even held up his waist and laughed out loud, as if he was happy about something.
"This guy did something bad and still dares to laugh so happily, I'll beat him up!"
Piero was furious and was about to go up and cause trouble for Saul.
After all, it was he who caused him to lose face in front of his junior classmates, so he had to teach him a lesson, otherwise how could he continue to be the deputy head of the second grade in the future?
However, Dui held back the impulsive Piero.
Biero looked at her in confusion, but saw Dui shaking his head slightly and motioning him to look at Lu Yi.
Lu Yi had already taken a step ahead of them and walked towards the direction of the orc Thor without knowing it.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on him.
From the moment they appeared, people noticed these three people.
As deputy prefects of the second grade, Dui and Biero were known to almost all the second graders present.
But everyone's attention was drawn to the blond man behind them.
There was no other reason. It was simply that this blond-haired, blue-eyed man was so handsome that even the most recognized beauties in Braceside were not even one-tenth as handsome as him. It was impossible to take your eyes off him.
"Blond hair, blue eyes, and extremely handsome appearance... Is this the one favored by God of the New Victory Empire? The one who triggered the oracle and miracle?" Someone asked in a low voice.
"You mean... Louis Klein?"
Those who heard it gasped, and his reminder reminded them of the rumor that had been widely circulated two months ago.
"My innate talent is at the highest level. It's against the will of heaven... How can I survive?"
"Why not? I only have the eighth-level talent of the Wood Element..."
"Pray that I can be placed on the same team with this big guy in the freshman competition?"
"Well, who knows, maybe he's not as powerful as we think? Most of the time, we just scare ourselves!"
The freshmen all wailed.
Those who are admitted by Braceside are the chosen ones of various empires, and each of them has strong talents.
They came to Braceside to study with the idea of becoming powerful and great magicians who look down on the world.
Who doesn’t want to become the champion of the session and gain the respect and attention of the entire continent?
But the existence of Lu Yi Klein makes it difficult for them to achieve their expected dreams.
Being born in the same era as an absolute genius is both a blessing and a sorrow.
Fortunately, they are very likely to witness the rise of a legendary great magician, but unfortunately, they will be completely overshadowed by his brilliance and lose their names.
Of course, this does not mean that everyone recognizes Lu Yi Klein's success.
A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. Freshmen who have just started to learn magic always want to make a name for themselves.
Lu Yi is more like a signpost that everyone is trying to climb.
When they first registered, many freshmen had already secretly regarded him as their imaginary enemy at the beginning of their fame.
However, when I actually saw Lu Yi Klein in person, this purely competitive mentality suddenly changed.
Very complex and extremely indescribable.
Although everyone had heard of Lu Yi Klein's outstanding beauty, and even before his awakening he had been famous for his looks on the Isaiah continent, no one took this so-called reputation seriously.
They are the reserve of future great magicians who respect the strong. Beauty is just their romantic affair, a little spice to soothe their stressful life.
But when Lu Yi actually stood in front of people, the contempt he once had completely disappeared.
The beauty that humans possess is not something that people cherish very much.
The beauty that is close to that of a god drives people crazy.
Before Lu Yi's identity was revealed, many people were distracted by his appearance and secretly planned dirty things.
But what is unexpected is that such extreme beauty actually possesses the innate power that even they desire!
When beauty has power, it is no longer a flower of desire that can be picked by anyone.
It is the tempting yet dangerous flower of death.
In this situation, the possibility of possessing him becomes zero.
With a mixture of emotions, everyone looked at Lu Yi with extremely complicated eyes.
Lu Yi was already used to being stared at, and he walked towards Thor calmly step by step under everyone's gaze.
Thor went from being confused at first to being suspicious, and finally when he was sure that Lu Yi was looking at him and walking towards him, he just stood there stupidly.
Lu Yi was getting closer and closer to him, and his delicate face became clearer and clearer.
The skin was as smooth, white and flawless as porcelain, the golden light flowed inadvertently between the hair, and the deep blue eyes staring straight at him were captivating.
He faced the shock of Lu Yi's beauty, swallowed his saliva subconsciously, and then secretly despised himself.
Lu Yi approached him, and the distance between them became closer and closer, even reaching a dangerous distance.
Thor's breathing became heavier and his heartbeat seemed to accelerate rapidly.
Lu Yi slowly stretched out his hand and gently placed it on Thor's cheek.
The people around them who were staring at them all gasped.
Thor's face turned red instantly, and two furry wolf ears suddenly stood up on his head.
He wanted to shout "What are you doing? Don't touch me. I have a crush on someone," but his voice suddenly lost control.
Thor's tail was swinging wildly, revealing his emotions completely.
He noticed the uncontrollable movement of his tail and tried his best to control this uncontrollable physiological reaction, but his tail was shaking in a spiral, faster and faster.
Thor's heartbeat began to speed up, and his mind was a mess like a ball of paste.
He didn't hear the discussions of the people around him, nor did he know the identity of the person in front of him. He was just immersed in Lu Yi's eyes that seemed to hide stars, and he was about to lose himself.
——Why did he touch me? I'm really not a casual person. Xia would be sad if she knew.
Thor was lost in his imagination, while Biero and Dui, who were not far away, covered their eyes as they could not bear to watch.
God of Light, they can already foresee the tragic scene that will happen in the next second!
Piero was originally angry about what Sol had done, but now he began to sympathize with what he was about to face.
The poor werewolf has no idea what he is about to face!
Did he think this was a pie-in-the-sky affair?
No--
It's a shattered dream, another poor little dog with a broken heart, oh no, just a little wolf.
really.
As the atmosphere between the two became more ambiguous, a crisp and loud slap sounded.
Lu Yi slowly withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened.
If it weren't for the red mark on Thor's cheek, no one would have believed what had just happened.
The scene fell into dead silence.
The author has something to say:
I actually saw a wife saying I am short (incredible face)!! This is two chapters in one! My old swan, are you trying to squeeze me dry?
Someone asked about the update volume. I can't be sure. Normal updates are based on the plot, and it's possible to update 3,000 to 6,000. If the plot requires it, I'll just update 10,000. I can only guarantee [maintaining the third place and striving for the sixth place, and try to update 6,000 most of the time]. If there are special circumstances, I will post a leave note and make up for the update the next day (starry eyes). But why are there still people saying that I am a 10,000-a-day author (shocked face), this is a rumor! Don't spread rumors or believe them!
Don't fatten me up, little darlings.
[Read the comments to my wife]
I was originally going to read the comments, but considering that some of the questions my wives are more concerned about, today I will turn it into an answering session.
Q1: Illegitimate child?
A1: First of all, it can be said that Xia's identity is not a problem. He is a child of the Klein family. Duke Klein did something wrong.
There is no way to defend it. Maybe he is a good father to Lu Yi, but he himself cannot defend the issue of illegitimate children. So I also mentioned in the copy that there may be some things that are worth criticizing about the supporting characters. Ladies, please don't be merciless and scold him casually! (We agreed that after scolding him, you can't scold me QAQ. The character's three views do not represent the author's three views. I personally hate cheating and illegitimate children!) (I really want to spoil it but I can't!)
Q2: Will Xia be cleaned up? When will it be offline?
A2: I won't whitewash it, but I will write about some of the tragic reasons and settings. If he goes offline, he will die at the latest in the middle of the story. Lu Yi still has a career line, so I won't be entangled with him all the time.
Q3: The little orc prince is so silly.
A3: Yes, he is a heartless idiot!
