Chapter 370 Initial Contact, Script Plan
Energy Research Institute, Dean's Office.
Yin Ling leaned against the window, carefully examining the introductory information file of Lin Ran in her hand.
The breeze blowing from the window lifted her long hair, and her beautiful face and delicate features were like an elf in mythology who was not on earth, and her blinking beautiful eyes seemed to have a charm that could captivate the soul.
At this time, the air around her was distorted, and then a silver-haired boy holding a jade flute appeared.
"Sister, why bother with such boring things, just don't go."
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Yin Ling's face:
"After all, the Scarlet Research Institute is the top power institution in our Star City. I have to give them face for the tasks they assign to me. Besides, I am also very interested in Lin Ran. I have learned about the seal-making technique he developed before. He is indeed a very talented human genius." "
You want to win him over?" The silver-haired boy asked with a little curiosity.
"I don't have any thoughts on this for now. Lin Ran's talent is not enough for me to win him over. Besides, our mission has nothing to do with winning over human geniuses. Our goal is to let the tribe come at the best time and control Star City as soon as possible."
The silver-haired boy heard this and a thoughtful look appeared on his face, and then his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.
Turning the page of the information in her hand, Yin Ling looked up at the clock hanging on the wall.
Finding that it was already past ten o'clock, she immediately closed the information in her hand and walked out of the office.
...
Star City East District.
Broken Sky Commercial District, Top Floor Restaurant of Building A.
At this time, Feng Qi and Lin Ran were sitting in the restaurant waiting for Yin Ling's arrival.
Through the floor-to-ceiling glass of the restaurant, the prosperity of Star City can be seen at a glance.
For this date, Lin Ran changed into a brand new set of clothes, and even changed her hairstyle, and her appearance was significantly improved.
In addition, she often had a sunny smile on her face, and she could make a good impression just by looking at each other.
Looking at Lin Ran sitting opposite, Feng Qi couldn't help but nod.
"Yes, this appearance is good."
"Brother Qi, I can only promise to try my best in the process, but I can't guarantee whether it will succeed. After all, we are cross-species, and I may not be understood by the other party if I lick with human thinking."
"I never said that you must develop into love. Love is just an excuse for you to get close to Yin Ling. As long as you can gain her trust, even friendship is not impossible."
"I understand. If you say that, my pressure will not be so great!" Lin Ran nodded immediately.
"Feel free to play, I believe in your charm!"
Giving Lin Ran an encouraging look, Feng Qi took out his mobile phone to check the time, and then stood up:
"It's almost time, I'll leave first, and then it's up to you to play."
As he said, Feng Qi stood up, walked to the table far away from Lin Ran and sat down, then waved to the waiter beside him, with a bright smile on his face:
"Order."
...
The time came to 11 o'clock.
While Lin Ran was waiting, Yin Ling arrived.
Compared with Lin Ran, Yin Ling was dressed very casually, but her beautiful face had her own aura, and she attracted a lot of attention as soon as she entered the restaurant.
When she came to Lin Ran, Yin Ling sat down calmly.
Lin Ran also raised his head at this time and met Yin Ling's eyes.
As they looked at each other, Yin Ling's appearance was obviously beyond Lin Ran's expectations.
Even though he had seen Yin Ling's photos in advance, he found that Yin Ling in the photos was far inferior to the real person when he saw her in person.
She had a straight nose, red lips, and a noble temperament. Under her thin eyebrows were a pair of indifferent light black eyes.
"Lin Ran." Lin Ran smiled and stretched out his hand at this time.
"Yin Ling."
After shaking hands with Lin Ran, a look of curiosity appeared on Yin Ling's face:
"I'm curious about one thing, why did you agree to the Scarlet Research Institute's proposal? You don't really want to find a partner, do you? If you look at your age before the disaster, you are not even an adult."
Lin Ran, who had rehearsed various questions in his mind in advance, thought for a while and smiled:
"I don't think there is any problem with the Scarlet Research Institute's proposal. Fertility rate is always a new era problem that needs to be faced. I also learned about your situation in advance. I admire your achievements... As for the age issue you mentioned, it is not a problem in essence."
"I also think there is no problem with the Scarlet Research Institute's proposal. I also learned about you in advance and admire your talent very much."
Yin Ling's answer was obviously beyond Lin Ran's expectations.
He thought Yin Ling would find an excuse to refuse, but he didn't expect Yin Ling to think that the Scarlet Research Institute's proposal was okay.
The progress unfolded in an unexpected way, and Lin Ran suddenly didn't know how to respond.
Fortunately, his mental quality is very strong.
After a short silence, he began to look for topics.
He took the initiative to bring up the relevant knowledge about materials science and started the following topics in the form of questions.
The half-baked knowledge that was learned in advance came into play at this time.
As the topic unfolded, the awkward atmosphere gradually eased, and the two quickly became familiar with each other.
Feng Qi, who was eating a lot not far away, glanced at them, nodded with satisfaction, and then smiled at the waiter standing next to him:
"Another meal, thank you."
Time passed as Lin Ran and Yin Ling chatted. While eating, Yin Ling took the initiative to talk about the content of cultivation and the magic that Lin Ran was most familiar with.
Talking about this aspect, Lin Ran suddenly became energetic and began to talk endlessly. Yin Ling listened with interest and asked questions from time to time.
It can be seen that Yin Ling is very interested in magic.
Many questions are very professional and cannot be asked by people who know only a little.
The first date started in an unexpected way.
The time came to 5:10 pm.
Yin Ling and Lin Ran got up and left the restaurant, then took a taxi and went straight to the Xingguang Lake in the central area.
As the sky gradually darkened, the two walked along the lakeside and continued to talk about magic.
After a while, they came to a bench by the lake and sat down. At this time, Yin Ling looked at Lin Ran and asked a question:
"Can you play chess?"
"What kind of chess?"
"It is a kind of chess that I invented myself. The rule is to use the arrangement of spiritual particles to combine the corresponding chess pieces to play the game."
After the voice fell, Yin Ling stretched out her hand and waved, and the spiritual energy in the air gathered into a golden thread.
The golden thread was seen flowing and outlining in the air, and the prototype of the chessboard appeared.
"Try it?"
"Okay, but I need detailed game rules." Lin Ran, who was curious, agreed without hesitation.
Then Yin Ling began to explain the rules of "Spirit Chess", and from time to time outlined the chess pieces, using actual combat methods to let Lin Ran understand the detailed rules.
Lin Ran was extremely talented and soon realized the rules of Spirit Chess.
Spirit Chess is essentially a game that uses natural elements as chess pieces, and each round outlines a sequence of natural elements. It involves the mutual generation and mutual restraint of elements, as well as the predictive game in ordinary chess games, which is a great test of the chess player's ability to strategize and his talent.
In the first game, Lin Ran lost in less than five minutes.
This immediately aroused Lin Ran's competitive spirit. He has had an understanding and affinity for elements beyond ordinary people since he was a child
. Although he failed in his first contact, he felt that he could play better.
After briefly recalling the reason for the mistake, Lin Ran immediately said:
"Let's play again."
Yin Ling smiled and nodded, and the elemental chess pieces on the chessboard dissipated with a wave of her hand. A new round of games began. This time Lin Ran made obvious progress and persisted for 20 minutes. The third game started immediately. This time Lin Ran persisted for more than 30 minutes and gradually became familiar with the rules of the game. From the fourth game, Lin Ran has learned how to design element traps. Lin Ran's potential really surprised Yin Ling. After reading Lin Ran's information in advance, he knew that Lin Ran was very talented in magic. But this talent was not enough to surprise her. The seal-binding style is a subversive innovation in magic for humans, but it is very ordinary for the Silver Moon Clan. After all, the knowledge accumulated by the Silver Moon Clan is far more than a simple seal-binding style can compare to. But this time, Yin Ling was completely shocked. Spirit chess was not created by her, but an important lesson for the members of the Silver Moon Clan in their growth process. Every member of the Silver Moon Clan will come into contact with spirit chess during their growth, which is also a way for the Silver Moon Clan to exercise their thinking and elemental control. Spirit chess can well detect the elemental affinity and talent in magic ability of the Silver Moon Clan members. It is certain that this is the first time that Lin Ran has come into contact with spirit chess. But his progress is so fast that it is unbelievable. Looking at Lin Ran who is playing chess seriously, Yin Ling's beautiful eyes blinked, and a hint of curiosity emerged in her heart. Facts have proved that Lin Ran's talent is far stronger than she expected. It can be imagined that if Lin Ran is given space and time to continue to grow, he will definitely be recorded in the history of the human race and become one of the pioneers on the road of human growth. After a brief adjustment of her mentality, Yin Ling decided to test where Lin Ran's limit is. The chess pieces on the chessboard dissipated with a wave of his hand, and the chess game was restored. "Do you want to continue?" "Continue!" Lin Ran, who was already fully engaged, said without hesitation. While speaking, Lin Ran waved his hand to arrange and combine a fire element chess piece and placed it in the lower left corner of the chessboard. The chess game started again. Lin Ran played this game very seriously. While gradually becoming familiar with the rules, he also learned how to use the elements to enhance the strength of his own chess pieces, and then weaken the chess pieces in Yin Ling's hand by using the method of mutual restraint. The super talent of magic gradually emerged in the game of chess. In the history of human resistance to the invasion of the field, there are many outstanding talents, and each of them has shone his own light in his own era. But there are not many peerless geniuses whose light can permeate the long river of history. Their stories are still talked about by later generations even after several generations. Lin Ran is one of them. The seal-making technique he created when he was young has become one of the three major schools of magic in the future through continuous improvement, and the subsequent magic developed is also praised as the top magic. If Lin Ran had not been persecuted by the Lord of Mist and ended his life tragically, his achievements would have continued for decades, and his legendary story would have continued until the end of human civilization. In the 2000 years of history after the catastrophe, Lin Ran's talent was ranked in the top three of the magic talent list. This evaluation is enough to show the affirmation of Lin Ran's talent by future people. Perhaps humans are not as good as the domain forces with deep foundation in all aspects, but there are also very few super humans among humans who are capable of changing history. Lin Ran is one of them. After several hours of chess games, Lin Ran constantly surprised Yin Ling. In several of the games, Yin Ling almost fell into the elemental ambush arranged by Lin Ran, but finally won by relying on her rich experience. Yin Ling, who believed that she had excellent magic talent, had to start focusing on the game process. She thought she was very good to be sent to the human world as a pioneer in advance. She was the best among her peers from childhood to adulthood. Spirit chess was her favorite entertainment during her growth. So far, she has rarely met an opponent among her peers who can make her play chess seriously. But with the talent Lin Ran showed now, she might lose if she wasn't careful. Time passed, and Yin Ling soon became as devoted to the chess game as Lin Ran. ...
At this time, on the other side of the Starlight Lake.
Feng Qi took out his mobile phone and checked the time.
He found that it was already 11 o'clock in the evening.
He thought that the first date would end soon, and it would be enough to relax by the lake after dinner.
But he didn't expect that both of them were so addicted.
When he found that the two were playing chess, he was quite wowed.
It seems that love has really developed in the direction of friendship.
But this is also a good development.
Whether it is love or friendship, as long as you can gain trust and obtain information, it is a good process.
Thinking of this, Feng Qi stood up and decided to leave early.
Next, it is time to start arranging the script.
The first script is a hero saving a beauty.
But not everyone can be this bad guy.
The inexplicable attack will definitely make Yin Ling suspicious. After all, the security in Star City has always been very good, and there are very few vicious incidents such as robbery.
Fortunately, Feng Qi had already thought of the goal of playing the bad guy.
There is only one organization in the entire Star City that can give Yin Ling a reasonable reason to be assassinated .
The Weak Alliance of the Domain.
Assassinating human geniuses is just a task for them.
Whether it is the assassination of Yin Ling or Lin Ran, there is no need for any reason, just because they are human geniuses.
When Yin Ling found out that the members of the Weak Alliance came to assassinate him, she would only mistakenly think that they had accepted the task of assassinating the genius and would not have any other suspicions.
So he needs to subdue the Weak Alliance in advance.
Then let them cooperate with him to help Lin Ran play the first script to get closer to Yin Ling.
He has already done this in the previous timeline, and it is easy for him to do it.
But the first script is not in a hurry to unfold.
Feelings need time to settle, otherwise they will appear very exaggerated.
With a happy mood, Feng Qi decided to go to the base of the Weak Alliance of the Domain and talk to the person in charge of the Weak Alliance of the Domain, that is, "Black Dragon", one of the younger brothers in the previous timeline.
...
The time came to 1 o'clock in the morning.
When Yin Ling won the victory with difficulty, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Reaching out to wipe the sweat from her forehead, she looked at Lin Ran with a focused expression, and her heart was in turmoil.
She found that human talents can be so terrible.
She almost lost in the most professional "spiritual chess".
From the initial desire to test Lin Ran's talent to the full-scale response now, Lin Ran brought her too many shocks.
"Let's stop here today. I'll go back and study it. I will definitely beat you tomorrow." Lin Ran said at this time.
"Okay, continue tomorrow!" Yin Ling agreed without hesitation.
"I'll take you there."
"No, I can go back by myself." Yin Ling immediately shook her head and chose to refuse.
Hearing this, Lin Ran, whose mind was full of chess game layout, did not insist. She immediately said that she would see him tomorrow and then turned and left.
When Lin Ran's figure went away, the air around Yin Ling was distorted, and the figure of the silver-haired boy appeared.
"Sister, his magic potential is so terrible."
The silver-haired boy, who had always been indifferent, was horrified, and was obviously shocked by Lin Ran's talent.
"If he is given room to grow, I believe he will bring positive changes to human magic."
"This is not a good thing for us. His growth will drive the improvement of the combat power of the entire Star City." The silver-haired boy couldn't help but frowned, and then continued:
"Sister, is it really impossible for us to live in peace with humans?"
"No, humans can't give us what we want, we can only rob... So you are right, Lin Ran's growth may become a hidden danger for us."
"Do you need me to take action? His strength should not be strong. I am confident that I can assassinate him."
Hearing the boy's proposal, Yin Ling stood up and rubbed his hair, smiling:
"Don't do stupid things. Your behavior may expose your identity. Even if the probability is very low, once it is exposed, the chain reaction may even ruin our future plans."
"Fighting and killing is ultimately the worst option. Our lurking plan means that we must keep a low profile and cannot do anything that may expose our identity."
"I understand." The silver-haired boy nodded obediently.
At this time, Yin Ling took out a silver-white mobile phone from his backpack, and after passing the fingerprint and pupil verification, he dialed a number.
When the call was connected, Yin Ling's voice changed, and she spoke in a slightly hoarse and strange voice:
"Domain Alliance?"
"What do you want?" A rough voice sounded on the other end of the phone.
"Assassinate a human genius for me..."
Looking at his sister who was describing the information of the assassination target, the silver-haired boy standing beside him looked confused.
He suddenly felt that he was still too young.
Today's update is over~Everyone go to bed early, stay up late and you will be bald.
