Sensing Lotus Sun's gaze on him, Wang Ling quickly averted his eyes and pretended to look out the window casually.
In any case, he had indeed been careless just now, and hadn't been completely on guard against Lotus Sun's gaze.
Wang Ling had indeed been secretly observing Lotus Sun.
Of course, he wasn't looking at her face, but observing her reaction. Once Single's Curse was triggered, it would last for a full three days before disappearing. That was to say, if there was a bug in the spell, it would manifest itself during these three days.
Hence, Wang Ling was both curious and worried about the bug that could appear on Lotus Sun at any time.
…
Wang Ling spent the entire morning feeling apprehensive. Fortunately, nothing had happened for now, and there was no reaction from Lotus Sun.
Wang Ling heaved a sigh of relief. Maybe it was because the bug in Single's Curse had been completely fixed. After all, it had already been modified almost twenty times, and Wang Ling felt that there shouldn't be any more mistakes.
He was probably just too nervous.
After the list of spirit veins was distributed in the theory of history class in the morning, Teacher Pan unexpectedly brought up the matter of spirit veins in Old Pan's Dao talismans class in the afternoon.
Everyone instantly tensed up.
It was obvious that knowledge about spirit veins would probably be the focus of the assessment for the next month.
Since the beginning of the spirit qi era, more and more underground spirit veins had been discovered by cultivators in various countries. They could be divided into five levels, and the fifth and highest level was called a heavenly vein.
Currently, there were more than one thousand heavenly veins in every corner of the world, and some were even hidden in the deep sea.
Huaxiu nation had twenty percent of the total number of heavenly veins, and almost all the developed cities were built on them.
Heavenly veins themselves were an important source of energy for cities.
High-level underground spirit veins could be regenerated, which meant that in theory, they had an inexhaustible source of energy. However, this had to be based on a balance between supply and consumption. In the current era of national cultivation, cultivators were using more and more energy from spirit veins every year … In the long run, no matter how many spirit veins there were, they wouldn't be able to bear the burden.
"Seeking a path of sustainable development on the premise of protecting the ecological environment is an unchanging topic for human cultivators." Teacher Pan rested both hands on the lectern, her gaze extremely serious. A lot of people hadn't expected Teacher Pan's lecture today to be so profound.
This topic didn't have much to do with the Dao talismans class, but as a teacher-in-charge, she also had to take into account the moral education of the students. Thus, Teacher Pan wouldn't be stingy in using some of her class time to guide the students to establish correct values.
Anyway, there were still a lot of physical education classes this semester.
But as for why he had brought up the topic of underground spirit veins today, it wasn't just because Old Antique had started it in the morning, but also because a criminal gang which specialized in robbing underground spirit veins had recently sprung up across the country.
This gang had a strict organizational structure and a clear division of labor. It should be the most dangerous criminal gang since the Immortal Mansion was breached.
"Stealing spirit veins is just a crime. Once you're caught, you won't even have the right to go to jail. You'll be sentenced to death." Teacher Pan said solemnly to everyone in the class, "If the spirit veins are robbed clean and the energy is cut off, not only will it have a huge impact on the regional economy, it will also have a huge impact on the living environment of cultivators. And the most important thing is that the barriers set up in every city are based on spirit veins. Once the underground spirit veins are robbed, the stability of the barriers will be affected, and the city will be at great risk. "
"Teacher, have we locked onto the leader of this organization?"
"Based on the joint investigation conducted by police stations all over the country, the leader of this organization is the new number one figure in the Dark Network. But at the moment, we don't know much about this person, and we can't accurately determine his identity or ability; we can only roughly estimate his figure. Currently, the police have given this suspect in the spirit vein robbery a code name: Number One. I believe it won't be long before he's caught. "
…
Robbing spirit veins …
It wasn't that Wang Ling hadn't expected such a lunatic to appear.
But underground spirit veins weren't easy to find. They were hidden very deep, almost close to the earth's core, and ordinary people couldn't come into contact with them at all.
At the moment, high-precision magic treasures were used to mine the energy of spirit veins deep underground. These high-precision magic treasures had independent energy bases and were heavily guarded.
This was because the work of extracting energy from underground spirit veins was extremely dangerous; once the energy base exploded, the entire city would be affected.
But based on the energy base's defensive measures, it was basically impossible for this to happen.
This group of people were actually able to extract underground spirit veins with their bare hands; they definitely had their own special method.
After hearing the news from Teacher Pan in class, Wang Ling quietly pondered this in his heart.
Things hadn't been peaceful recently. He had just helped Wang Nuan settle the matter, and now this group of strange people had come out to mine spirit veins.
Elsewhere, Odd Zhuo hadn't made any progress with Bai Youquan's interrogation.
It was said that Bai Youquan's attitude was very unyielding, and he refused to say a word.
His memory had been shattered by Fate Dao, and even when the police forcibly probed his memories, they couldn't extract any useful information.
On the contrary, because of Bai Youquan's arrest, the black shadow army seemed to have quietened down recently and wasn't making any big moves.
But this was what worried Wang Ling and Odd Zhuo the most.
They had already experienced too much of the calm before the storm.
Biding their time wasn't a sign of peace; it was very likely that an even bigger conspiracy was brewing behind the scenes.
…
Near the end of school that day, Wang Ling slipped into the toilet and prepared to use a teleportation spell to escape early.
He didn't know what other strange things would happen if he continued to stay at school with Lotus Sun.
But just as Wang Ling was about to slip away, he heard a boy's voice in the corridor.
"Classmate Lotus Sun!"
Wang Ling looked in the direction of the voice. Using the King's Eye, he saw a boy from the next class standing in front of Lotus Sun with a flushed face, as if he had mustered up all his courage.
"A confession …" Wang Ling raised his eyebrows.
This wasn't the first time Wang Ling had seen this scene.
Since the start of the first semester, Lotus Sun had received a number of confessions from boys one after another.
Wang Ling couldn't catch up to the spirit of bracing himself even when he knew he would be rejected.
And Lotus Sun herself seemed to enjoy the process of being confessed to.
Just as she was about to give him the good guy card, the boy who had been about to confess suddenly yelled at her, "Classmate Lotus Sun! I hate you! I hate you the most! I beg you, don't show up in front of me again! "
Everyone: "???"
