Chapter 692 Identity Revealed: Norton! [1st Update]
Because it is backed by the Sage's Institute, the research institute holds a very high position in the world city.
In particular, many of the high-tech products that citizens use today are produced by the Chinese Academy of Engineering.
Dean Norman is 65 years old this year. In addition to his extremely high IQ, he has made many inventions.
Every year, he donates to charity and often personally goes to the residences of second-class citizens to distribute resources.
Dean Norman doesn't hold any noble titles, but he has many merits, and the residents of World City respect him greatly.
[Holy crap, Dean Norman came in person?!]
[Ahhhh! Dean Norman is going to take Miss Bea as his last disciple! Miss Bea truly lives up to her reputation as my idol.]
[The host already said it wasn't Miss Bi'er! I've seen you so many times, aren't you tired of stirring up trouble?!]
Is this a die-hard fan of Bea Reinger? Does anyone who can assemble gear become Bea Reinger?
Well, let me tell you, ten years ago, when your Miss Bi'er was still a student, the Lyinger family already had a genius scientist. Your Miss Bi'er would have to call him "Auntie," hehe.
Ying Zijing recognized this ID; it was the one who first left a message on her trading section's message board.
It was deleted once, and then this ID was used by many different accounts, never stopping.
Ying Zijing simply typed a few keys and directly blocked the account's IP address.
She then ended the live stream and nodded: "Dean."
"Sorry, sorry, I got too excited," Dean Norman said somewhat apologetically. "Did I disturb you?"
After he finished preparing everything, he immediately contacted Ying Zijing and, after receiving a reply, rushed over without hesitation.
"No." Ying Zijing shook her head slightly and smiled, "We just finished one round of assembly, and the Dean's arrival was just in time."
"That's good, that's good." Dean Norman breathed a sigh of relief. "This is the agreement. Take a look and see if there's anything you want to add. You can add anything!"
He'd be willing to go bald if he could just take on one more disciple.
"Thank you, Dean." Ying Zijing carefully looked through it and then signed her name.
The agreement came into effect.
“Sinai told me you’re very interested in aerospace projects,” Dean Norman smiled. “The engineering school just started a new program recently, with professors who have researched spacecraft. Would you like to give it a try?”
Ying Zijin smiled and nodded: "I can do it anytime."
"Alright, alright, I'll report your name right away." Dean Norman nodded happily. "You'll be learning from me most of the time."
Ying Zijin noted down the location of the experimental project's base.
"But why did you suddenly decide to do a live stream?" Dean Norman glanced at the big screen, concerned. "Are you short on money?"
"You are my last disciple, and the research institute will allocate a certain amount of funding to you, about 50 million a year."
As soon as he finished asking the question, a new message popped up on the big screen.
[Your item number A34921 has been purchased, and 12,000,000 has been credited to your account. Please check your account.]
Dean Norman: "..."
He didn't ask.
W Network's trading area has always been strict, automatically judging the grade of goods, with particularly stringent criteria for items like machinery and equipment.
The letter before the product number indicates the grade.
Being able to produce A-grade equipment and sell it for such a high price means their skill level is already up to S-grade researcher.
But Sinai told him that Ying Zijin had only studied for half a month.
Unparalleled talent!
Dean Norman was increasingly delighted as he looked at the document, and he couldn't help but rub his hands together.
“I’m looking for someone.” Ying Zijing thought for a moment, then handed over Norton’s photo. “Has the Dean seen him?”
This is a front-facing photo of Norton.
The man's silver hair was quite striking.
He has a distinctly Western appearance with deep-set features.
His expression was cold, and his gaze was sharp as a blade.
The murderous intent that burst forth from the seal sent a chill down one's spine.
“Oh, let me see.” Dean Norman took it, adjusted his glasses, and frowned. “No, if I had seen him before, I would definitely remember him. What does he do?”
“He plays with drugs.” Ying Zijing retracted her words, seemingly lost in thought. “He’s not in the Institute of Biological Genetics either.”
Norton has been in the City of the World for two years.
After arriving in the City of the World, she used tarot cards to do some calculations.
Norton's life was not only safe, but his overall strength was also improved.
As a genius madman who only cares about alchemy, what else attracts him besides the Institute of Biological Genetics?
“The Institute of Genetics… Ever since Little Sinai’s accident, I’ve had an uncertain idea.” Dean Norman said with a serious expression, “The Institute of Sages has been suppressing the Institute of Engineering in order to hinder the development of industrial technology.”
Ying Zijin narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly: "Dean?"
“Didn’t I tell you last time that there was a brilliant SS-level researcher hundreds of years ago? He left World City.” Dean Norman sighed. “His departure caused World City’s technological development to stagnate for at least fifty years.”
"Ten years ago, Sinai disappeared again. The Academy of Engineering specifically conducted statistical analysis, and her disappearance will at least cause technological development to stagnate for several decades."
Ying Zijin's expression hardened slightly.
Dean Norman believed that both of these matters were related to the Academy of Sages.
"I changed your grades, the Academy of Sages won't pay attention to you anymore." Before leaving, Norman added, "Make sure you take good care of yourself."
After seeing Dean Norman off, Ying Zijing returned and started the live stream again.
The live stream was interrupted for an hour, but the popularity of the live stream room increased instead of decreasing.
Furthermore, one of the trending topics on W website has already broken into the top ten.
#Dean Norman, SY Livestream#
Dean Norman's reputation is so great that this is the first time he has appeared in a live broadcast.
Many viewers went crazy.
[Oh no, this kid is going crazy! Who is this anchor? Does the engineering department have anyone worth Dean Norman personally visiting?]
[Yes, yes, I got caught up in the hype. It's definitely not Bi'er. SY is quite different from Miss Bi'er. But is SY really not intentionally using Bi'er's name to attract fans?]
[I'm outta here. I thought it was Miss Bi'er, but it turns out she's just a knock-off. These days, there aren't many streamers with their own style. What's the point of following trends? It's all the same, so boring.]
【Rubbish!】
Many people left the live stream, but at that moment, a notification popped up.
[Yu requests to connect with you.]
Yu is Qin Lingyu's live stream ID.
She is now the top new streamer in the singing and dancing section, and her popularity has already surpassed that of many veterans.
Ying Zijin raised an eyebrow and clicked "agree".
"Hi." Qin Lingyu also didn't show her face. "Long time no see, want to play a game together?"
After a two-second pause, the barrage of comments suddenly filled up.
[A fantasy collaboration.]
[Holy crap, it's Yu-zai! She's also one of my favorites, hahaha, not Bi-er. Yu-zai just said a few days ago that she doesn't know Bi-er.]
So who exactly is this streamer? And who do they know?!
#Yu, SY#
Soon, another trending topic appeared.
With Qin Lingyu joining, Ying Zijin's live stream viewership skyrocketed by tens of thousands per second.
In less than a minute, the popularity index reached 60 million.
Now, those netizens who had previously said they would leave and leave comments insulting the counterfeit products have changed their minds and are all coming back.
But they discovered that they couldn't get into SY's live stream room; they were all blocked outside.
Why can't I get in?!
Where is the administrator?!
[Administrator]: Didn't you say it was a high-quality replica? Then it's not worthy of your attention. Stop watching. There are so many streamers imitating Bi'er, just pick one at random.
Netizens were furious, but there was nothing they could do.
Qin Lingyu saw it too. While controlling her game character, she sent a private two-way call to Ying Zijing: "Your administrator is quite interesting."
“My classmate.” Ying Zijing played the game with only one hand, propping her head up with the other. “She’s a very kind girl.”
"I didn't expect you to come to the City of the World too," Qin Lingyu suddenly said. "But I'm definitely leaving here. I'll be leaving after I've finished investigating some things."
"My mentally challenged brother probably doesn't care much; he just eats instant noodles and codes wherever he is."
There is absolutely no connection between China and Africa here.
Her sudden disappearance must have panicked her fans.
"Okay." Ying Zijing nodded slightly. "Whenever you need to leave the city, contact me and I'll get you a pass."
Xiu gave her a bag full of passes last time.
"Okay." Qin Lingyu waved her hand. "I'm logging off now. You should get some rest too."
Just then, Ying Zijing's phone rang.
It's a message.
[Xiu]: I'll be going back to the Sage's Courtyard this weekend, and I'll be able to give you the token first thing Monday morning.
Ying Zijin replied with "OK" and ended the live stream.
**
weekend.
afternoon.
The Academy of Sages.
The highest level.
Using his special ability of absolute concealment, Xiu easily changed his appearance.
After entering his room, he signed a warrant targeting the Lengel family and then left.
The Sage's Temple has a history of over a thousand years, and its architecture still retains a very ancient style.
Xiu prefers modern things, so he rarely goes back to the Sage's House.
"Xiu." At that moment, a voice rang out, "It's rare for you to come back, why don't you sit down and catch up?"
Xiu stopped and turned around.
The woman was tall and had a graceful figure.
She wore a tight-fitting red dress and a golden crown on her head.
The fourth of the Twenty-Two Sages, the Sage Queen—
Sara Victoria!
"Oh, it's Sara." Xiu greeted her politely but distantly. "There's nothing to reminisce about. I've worked with you for so many years, I'm already tired of it."
As sages, they have very long lifespans, long enough to have witnessed the changes of continents and oceans.
Ten years is but a drop in the ocean for them.
Moreover, he did not have much contact with the Wise Queen.
Many years ago, back when the world's cities were still in ancient times, he and his sister had the most contact with the three sages of strength, justice, and temperance.
Those who were closer to Sara were the Pope, the Emperor, and the Tower.
They will only attend meetings that require the participation of all the sages.
Xiu usually doesn't say more than a few words to Sara.
Shaluo said calmly, "Your words really hurt me."
As she spoke, her gaze shifted downwards: "What are you holding in your hand?"
Although Sara asked the question, she had already seen it.
This order—
Those who carry out my orders must obey.
Hermit, cultivate!
Xiu didn't want to say anything more to Sara; he wanted to go back and drink the new drinks at the street bar, so he turned and left.
Sha Luo looked up and said calmly, "I'm sorry, I don't agree."
Xiu's eyes turned cold: "I didn't ask for your opinion either."
“Is that so?” Shaluo finally smiled, looking thoughtful. “You’ve been away all this time, with no close ties to the Leinger family. Now that you’re back, you want Suwen to receive acupuncture treatment.”
"Can I assume that you actually intend to kill Suwen in order to take control of the Lyinger family?"
"Think what you want." Xiu said calmly. "By the way, I've met the patriarch of their family and we have some acquaintance. I don't want to see his wife in a permanent coma, so I specifically sought out an ancient doctor outside the city. Is that not allowed?"
He had also seen Suwen's illness.
Despite his special abilities, he really couldn't be of much help.
I heard that the magician and the priestess also tried, but they still couldn't revive Suwen.
Xiu had never seen Ying Zijin display her medical skills.
However, in his opinion, the fact that Ying Zijin brought this up with him proved that she must be confident.
Shaluo met his gaze coldly.
The spacious hall was completely silent.
"Chariot, what about you?" Shaluo suddenly looked behind Xiu. "Do you think Suwen should be subjected to such outdated medical methods?"
Xiu was slightly startled and turned around abruptly.
When did the Sage's Chariot arrive?
really.
The Sage, hailed as the strongest warrior below the Sage Demon, appears without a sound.
The man had short silver hair and two black earrings on his right ear that reflected the light.
He crossed his arms and raised his head with a half-smile.
