This was the first time Wild Group Maple had heard of Wang Ling's essay, and also the first time he knew that there was a fan club on Earth whose core members were literature lovers.
To Wild Group Maple, joining a fan club was a little demonic.
After all, wasn't a fan club something that only idols and celebrities could have?
He thought of a certain female idol in the otaku circle holding a concert.
Those fanatical otaku fans would have headbands tied around their heads, and they would wear sweatshirts and baggy pants with their idol's name printed on them as they waved their glow sticks in unison to the rhythm of their idol's singing.
As they waved their glow sticks, they would hum haha as they cheered.
Was he going to wave his glow stick for Houlang Sang too?
Wild Group Maple couldn't help shivering all over at this thought.
From a normal man's point of view, he really couldn't imagine it.
And since it was a literary fan club …
Singing or something was unlikely … Could it be that they were going to recite poems and wave their glow sticks at the same time?
"I think Classmate Ono might be thinking too much. Actually, the Gray Sect is more normal than any fan club … it's just an ordinary exchange of literature. "
It was as if Leek Sasaki knew what Wild Group Maple was thinking, and he wiped his sweat. "Also, I checked Classmate Ono's cultural results, and you're ranked among the best in our high school."
The truth was that even Class S students weren't proficient in all subjects in Nine Paths and High School.
As long as they were proficient in one or two subjects, they could still enter the S-level sequence with super high learning points and reward points.
Wild Group Maple's results in Kendo class were excellent.
He was also among the best in Chinese class.
Generally speaking, there were two main factors for mastering a subject to the pinnacle: one was talent, and the other was interest.
Of course, hard work was also important.
But there were some things that couldn't be done with just a little effort …
For example, Big Pigeon Kuxuan.
He had never thought that working hard to write twenty thousand words would result in ten chapters in one every day.
Unfortunately, he couldn't do it.
"As long as I join the Gray Sect, I can get closer to Houlang Sang?"
Wild Group Maple's eyes were still a little suspicious.
Leek Sasaki gave his earnest and well-meaning advice.
"I'm now the head of Sun Island's Nine Paths and the Gray Sect branch. As long as Classmate Maple performs well before Houlang Sang and the others leave the island, I can give you the position of deputy head.
"And deputy head will actually have a chance to communicate with Houlang Sang.
"Although it's an online question. But at that time, if Big Wild Tuan Feng wants to ask something, are you still afraid that Hou Lang Sang won't tell you? "
This sounded very tempting, but in reality, it was half a lie and half a coax.
Wang Ling didn't have the time to answer these "fans."
The so-called opportunity to communicate.
Actually, the person they were really talking to wasn't Wang Ling.
It was … Lotus Sun.
Anyway, who would know who you were chatting with through the screen …
It was a way to help the fan club grow.
Of course, Lotus Sun was also preparing for the things Maple wanted to learn and understand.
Wasn't it just gambling skills …
He just needed to learn it.
As for now …
After learning that he could indeed deepen his connection with Wang Ling after joining the sect.
Wild Maple was indeed moved. "What do I need to do after joining the sect?"
"Of course, it's to expand our Nine Paths and the Gray Sect's branches and rope in more Houlang Sang's fans. Of course, there was still a literature assessment. I can check the results of the cultural classes using the Student Union's system. I won't consider those below Grade A for now. "
"I see."
Ono Tuan Kaede nodded.
Then, he looked at the leek and said seriously, "Fine! I've decided! I'll join the sect! "
"Smart choice." Leek Kaede nodded and smiled.
…
After agreeing to join the sect, there was no news of Big Maple returning to the dormitory.
Because joining the Gray Sect meant that he had something new to look forward to, the gloominess he had felt in the Zi Feng Club branch conference room instantly disappeared.
Leek Kaede brought Big Maple to the Student Union office.
He saw that Sparrow was seriously compiling the relevant data on the computer.
For some reason, Big Maple felt that Deputy President Sparrow of the Student Union seemed a little different from before.
He felt that Classmate Six-Eyed Akagami seemed a lot more approachable?
To be honest, the wild group Maple had a deep impression of Sparrow.
The main thing was that every time he saw Deputy President Sparrow, he couldn't help feeling a cold wind blow past him.
It was as if some kind of ghost was staring at him …
But now, this feeling had completely disappeared.
This was all thanks to Lotus Sun's rescue in the haunted house.
"Sparrow, help Big Maple register. He has already agreed to join the sect." As soon as he entered the office, Leek Kaede carefully and quickly closed the door, then reported the situation to Sparrow.
"Okay." Sparrow quickly typed on the keyboard.
Big Maple then realized that there were actually quite a few new members on the screen in front of him.
He also saw quite a few familiar names among them …
"Hikari Onanoko?" Big Maple was blank. "I remember that she's a very autistic girl. It seems that everyone who knows her at school says she's very strange. "
"Classmate Hikari Onanoko has a little emotional problem," Leek Kaede said.
"It's said that she was enlightened by Hou Langsan in a dream …"
Big Maple: "…"
Why did it sound more and more strange to him?
"We judged that she was qualified to join the sect based on her previous cultural results. We didn't expect her to agree as soon as we asked. "
Leek Kaede scratched his head and smiled.
Actually, there were a lot of people like "Hikari Onanoko" who had cultural results, and who had directly agreed to join the Student Union when they asked in private.
There was no exception.
All of them were people he had helped before, victims who had been forcibly turned into ghosts by Nine Palace Star Light and the hair devil spirit.
Most of them couldn't remember what had happened.
What the youngster who had spoken to them in the dream looked like, and what he had said …
They had already forgotten everything.
All that was left in their minds was a vague outline, a warmth that seemed like it would never fade, and … the name "Hou Lang."
They also couldn't remember what "Hou Lang" meant.
It was just that this word had a sense of familiarity to it.
This was also one of the reasons why Wang Ling's pseudonym "Wang Lang" had received support from so many Nine Paths and high school students after it flooded the high school sword ranking list.
Many of these students were from Class S and below.
The ratio was higher in Class C and B, and there were also a few from Class A.
Now, Nine Paths and the Gray Sect branch had been officially established under the leadership of Leek Kaede, Wang Ming and Sparrow.
Sparrow had just programmed an invitation program to automatically filter out suitable targets and send them out; he hadn't expected to receive so many responses.
Big Maple looked at the numbers on the side of the Excel list.
Including him, there were actually fifty-six people who had agreed to join the sect …
This was a higher number of members than some of the Rainbow Seven Sons Gang!
And the most important thing was …
Leek Kaede said that this was the first day that the Nine Paths and the Gray Sect branch had been established!
So many people had agreed to apply on the first day … then wouldn't the entire Nine Paths be taken over by the Gray Sect in the future?
Was this the great man's strategy of "surrounding the city from the countryside"?
Of course, what was most inconceivable to Big Maple was …
This Gray Sect fan club was Hou Lang Sang's fan club! And the branch head was the current president of the Nine Paths and the Student Union!
Sun Island's Nine Paths and the local power to support a student who had come all the way from abroad and would only be staying for a few days … This sounded outrageous!
But even so …
The moment Big Maple saw the list, a sense of pride welled up in his heart.
This kind of pride couldn't be felt in any of the Rainbow Seven Sons Gang gangs.
As expected of Hou Lang Sang!
A true immortal!
It had only been a few days …
He could actually use his charisma to gain so many people's attention and support!
As expected of the man he fancied!
"The registration has been completed, Big Maple." At that moment, Sparrow's words broke his train of thought.
"So fast?"
"It's just copying and pasting personal information, it's no trouble," Sparrow said.
"Also, do you see the booklet on my desk? This is a printed version of the Gray Sect's program. Please recite it carefully. Otherwise, it won't be good if you're identified as a mole. "
"There's a program?" Big Maple was blank.
He opened the booklet with a gray cover.
The so-called Gray Sect program wasn't a program in the true sense of the word.
It was actually the essay called "Substitute," which Crispy Noodles Dao Monarch had written for Wang Ling at the Nine Dragons Mountain Conclave back then …
The famous line "A speck of ash in the times" had come from there.
But just reciting this line clearly wouldn't make one a true fan.
Thus, Lotus Sun had already set down the most basic conditions for joining the sect.
That was "recite the full text."
Furthermore, each branch head would do a spot check every month, and those who couldn't recite it would be directly kicked out …
"We already have so many people on the first day. Can I still be a vice president?" Big Maple looked at the list and was a little suspicious.
It wasn't difficult for him to recite something.
It was just that he was worried about whether Leek Sasaki's promise could be fulfilled.
"A branch can have up to two vice presidents. Student Big Maple is a student from Area S, and apart from me and Sparrow, you're the third student from Area S to join the Gray Sect. "
Leek Sasaki said, "Since I promised Student Ono to be a vice president, of course I won't go back on my word. But Student Ono also has to cooperate and do some work. Otherwise, I'm afraid it'll be hard to convince the masses. "
"I understand." Big Maple said, "Then, what do you need me to do?"
"Help us rope in more students from Area S."
Leek Sasaki said, "Student Sparrow and I are members of the Student Council, so we're a special case. It's hard to talk to Area S. "
"Area S … Those people are indeed stubborn. When I came out of the Purple Maple Society earlier, the Rainbow Seven Sons were planning to come up with a plan to embarrass Hou Lang-sang. "
"What kind of plan exactly?"
"I've already made it clear that I won't get involved, so they've already excluded me …"
"Sigh. What a pity. Otherwise, you can be a spy. Do you know that Gin Wine in Detective Conan? It seems he's surrounded by spies. "
"…"
"Or rather, we don't have any other way. Do we have spies in each of the Rainbow Seven Sons? "
"I have a few brothers who are on good terms with me. I can ask them. "
Big Maple frowned. "But I don't know if they agree or not."
"Let's try our best."
"Okay!"
It was important to rope in the students from Area S.
On the other hand, as a young man in the new cultivation era, the Upper Nine Paths and the Gray Church branch had a computer expert like Sparrow.
As the president, Leek Sasaki had a lot of room to command.
The next step was to expand the scale of the sect and increase the popularity of the Gray Sect on Sun Island.
Therefore, he asked Sparrow to register an account on Bilibili "Upper Nine Paths and Gray Church branch".
He planned to post some interesting videos to increase the popularity of the Gray Church on the internet.
At this moment, Leek Sasaki suddenly said, "I forgot to mention, Student Ono."
“？”
"Congratulations on joining the Gray Church!" He reached out and shook Big Maple's hand tightly.
"I'll do my best! Minister! "
Big Maple nodded.
His expression was extremely serious.
…
In the dormitory, Wang Ling sat cross-legged on the floor, naked from the waist up.
Although he had tried his best to preserve his strength in today's battle, he had in fact used up a lot of the one-time talismans.
He couldn't make more talismans in a short time.
He could only use his own skills to patch up the one-time talismans that had already collapsed but weren't completely broken.
It was impossible to completely patch them up.
Some of the one-time talismans had collapsed too thoroughly, and there was already no way to salvage them.
Even if the others were salvaged, they wouldn't be as effective as before.
Take durability, for example.
When a brand new one-time talisman came out of the oven, its durability was one hundred.
Now that it had collapsed, Wang Ming could probably only save one to five durability points.
No matter how small a mosquito's leg was, it was still meat. In the current situation, it was better than nothing.
And now, these were the ones that had been salvaged.
Wang Ling had originally had more than ninety talismans, but after today's selection, he only had eighty-one left.
Not counting the ones that had been salvaged, there were less than seventy left.
At that moment, Wang Ming gently patted Wang Ling on the back.
Like a plaster, he pressed the salvaged one-time talismans back on Wang Ling one by one.
But he didn't dare to use too much force.
He was mainly afraid that if he slapped Wang Ling, he would break a bone …
"Kid, why is your skin even fairer than Dan?" Wang Ming said with a smile as he helped Wang Ling put the talismans back on.
"…" Wang Ling was silent.
He manually adjusted his skin color a little darker.
Wang Ming looked at his rapidly darkening skin, and the corners of his mouth twitched. "It's fine as long as it's normal … you don't have to be as dark as an unlucky guy …"
"Mm." After being mischievous for a while, Wang Ling quickly adjusted his skin color back.
It was rare for the two brothers to talk in the quiet of the night.
"I haven't reached the research stage for that black stone yet. It will take some time to analyze the box outside, but it shouldn't be too difficult. " Wang Ming tsked. "Unfortunately, Dan doesn't understand these things. I think it's best to have an assistant."
Actually, at this point …
In Wang Ling's mind.
A vague image of a person emerged.
This person wasn't anyone else.
It was that civilian scientist whom Ryoko Kyunomiya and Lotus Sun had recruited previously: Shouchong …
