For a fleeting moment, Shang Lin really wanted to say, "Could I have these earthworms?"
However, considering the current environment, and how to collect the earthworms into the Dragon Spirit Tower, neither releasing Green One is appropriate, so I can only investigate first.
Huo Yan smiled awkwardly, "Actually, we don't know how to handle it either. We're always worried that we won't handle it properly and that it will cause more problems."
Shang Lin nodded. "That really is a problem." If only there were Samadhi Fire, it could burn everything.
Situ Pojun hurriedly said, "Then we'll head back first."
"Alright, I'll see you out."
Huo Yan saw the person off, and Mo Ce hurriedly followed. He really wanted to ask the expert for his contact information, but in the end, he held back. His own work was confidential, and the expert's whereabouts were probably even more confidential, so he decided to give up.
However, after seeing Situ Pojun and Shang Lin drive away, Mo Ce couldn't help but sigh, "There really are people more capable than you!"
However, Huo Yan said, "The problem is still not solved! I wonder if the expert behind that boy can solve it?"
As for the saying "there are always people better than you," that's perfectly normal! It would be strange if everyone were all about the same level, right?
On their way back, Situ Pojun and Shang Lin couldn't help but ask him, "Are there any other oddballs around you?"
Shang Lin felt drowsy in the warm car. Even though he had a good nap at noon, what high school student doesn't lack sleep? One nap is not enough, and once the car started moving, it was a bit like a cradle, making it hard not to fall asleep.
So when Shang Lin heard Situ Pojun's words, he didn't quite catch them and subconsciously asked, "What kind of anomaly?"
Situ Pojun glanced at Shang Lin, but changed the subject, "You really are working hard every day, aren't you?"
Shang Lin yawned before replying, "Of course, I'm still a minor. What will I do if I don't study hard? Society is so competitive these days, and I'm a poor student from a remote mountain village. Without connections and without any skills, how am I supposed to survive?"
Situ Pojun's lips twitched as he listened, but he also felt that Shang Lin's words made sense, so he said, "Then good luck. But if you can take on this task and complete it successfully, you'll have connections, won't you?"
Shang Lin looked at Situ Pojun with great confusion, "How do you know I can succeed? That thing is so exaggerated, and most importantly, we don't even know how many there are."
Situ Pojun said very honestly, "I don't know, but you give me the feeling that you can solve anything, otherwise I wouldn't have come to you."
Shang Lin said helplessly, "Isn't it because you saw She Jinxing's true form?"
“A little bit, but I trust you more than him.” After saying that, Situ Pojun laughed self-deprecatingly. “Actually, I don’t quite understand this feeling, but it’s particularly strong.”
Shang Lin, "..."
Why is there yet another person who trusts him so inexplicably? But Situ Pojun isn't his disciple, so where does this trust come from? He's Shang Lin now, an ordinary human, not the Shang Lin from his previous life.
When the car stopped downstairs at Shang Lin's house, he couldn't help but ask Situ Pojun, "Why did you drive such a long distance? It took two hours just to get there, what a waste of time."
Situ Pojun looked at Shang Lin with some confusion, "You also know it's such a long distance? Why not drive and use magic? That would be so tiring. And it wouldn't be easy to explain to outsiders. Since we live in the human world, we should live like normal people."
Shang Lin, "..."
Okay, he's overthinking it. It's true that teleportation scrolls aren't suitable for going to military-controlled areas.
When Shang Lin arrived home, Hu Tangdi was already preparing dinner. Recently, not only had her sewing skills improved, but her cooking skills had also improved.
Moreover, considering Shang Lin's physical condition, she tried her best to take nutritional balance into account when cooking, but the dishes she improved the most were medicinal cuisine.
But as soon as Hu Tangdi saw Shang Lin return, he hurriedly asked, "You saw the video, do you know what happened?"
As Shang Lin took off his coat, he replied, "There's no video, but we have the actual animals. They're mutated earthworms, probably a group with a leader who's the most intelligent. They're causing trouble, I don't know if it's because there are too many of them or if there's something underground that's making them act up. Anyway, we have to go there."
Hu Tangdi was stunned. "Wouldn't that be very dangerous?" Having too many of these things is the most troublesome thing.
Shang Lin took off his coat again. "We don't know if it's dangerous or not, but Green Yao wants it. The Divine Lord is afraid it will leave the tower, so he has temporarily sealed the Dragon Spirit Tower."
Hu Tangdi was a little dumbfounded and subconsciously asked, "Green Jade actually asked for things?!" Aren't medicinal herbs and herb gardens its favorite things?
"Yes, I was also startled at the time. I was really worried that it would run out recklessly and become a new research subject, or cause unimaginable casualties. Fortunately, the Divine Lord reacted quickly."
After Shang Lin changed into his pajamas, he took out the Dragon Spirit Tower and asked the God Lord to open the tower and release Green One.
The deity directly enveloped the house within the tower, not daring to let Green One out. Ever since it sensed something amiss this afternoon, it had become somewhat restless, neither tending to the medicinal herbs nor sleeping peacefully, constantly wanting to leave the tower. Upon seeing Shang Lin, it immediately rushed over and grabbed his fingers, acting like a lovesick fool again.
Shang Lin directly pricked his fingertip, but the next second he heard the Divine Lord say, "No, why are you bleeding so easily? And you're spoiling a child like this."
Shang Lin smiled and said frankly, "Isn't this to keep Lü Yao quiet? Otherwise, what's the point of talking if it gets agitated?" It's not very intelligent to begin with, so communication is even more difficult. If it gets agitated, it'll be quite a spectacle.
God, "..."
Shang Lin asked again, "Where is Little Snake? Is he really in seclusion?" He and Situ Pojun had just made it up.
The deity pointed upstairs, "I sent him upstairs. Green Yao is a bit noisy, and I'm worried it will affect his comprehension of the cultivation technique."
Shang Lin was taken aback, then looked at the Divine Lord in surprise, "The Dragon Spirit Tower can open another level?!"
The deity said something that really stung: "No. But accommodating one person to cultivate is still no problem."
"Okay, I was too impatient."
The second floor is where alchemy, weapon crafting, talisman drawing, and other such things are done, but given his current financial situation, he wouldn't need it even if he opened it.
As she spoke, Lü Yao seemed drunk again, slipping from Shang Lin's fingers, but he caught her with his other hand in a flash. "Don't sleep, let's talk."
Green Jade flipped over in Shang Lin's palm, turning its back to him as if sleeping was the most important thing in the world. Shang Lin had no choice but to put it back in the herb field and talk about it later that night.
