After he was done sleeping, Silin got up and opened his communicator. There were more than thirty missed calls, and all of them were from the same person. Looking at the time, they were all called during Silin's usual rest hours. But this time, Silin had slept for two whole days, and his communicator was turned off.
Looking at the number and the many 'reply as soon as you see this' messages, Silin was puzzled. What the hell was this guy up to this time? However, Silin still dialed the number at the first opportunity. The call was swiftly connected without waiting, and Knight's haggard and aggrieved face appeared on the interface.
"... Silin …"
Cillin nearly spat out a mouthful of water he was drinking. Just how wronged must he be to make Knight, a man who usually acted like he was number one in the world, say something like this?
"What now?"
"I'm being bullied."
Bullshit, who would dare bully you?! Who in the entire Seven Lights could bully you?
"Get to the point."
After Knight's explanation, Silin finally understood why this guy had called more than thirty times. Knight ran into his old friend Stantine of the Second Military Academy when he was doing warm-up training on the Sector Championship's platform. However, Stantine and another student of the Second Military Academy were defeated by the Visby Brothers of the Fourth Military Academy during warm-up training, and it stirred up Knight's fighting spirit. However, Knight really couldn't find anyone he liked to team up with in Seven Lights because the Visby Brothers only participated in the less popular double matches and not the popular single matches.
The first person Knight thought of was Silin, but Silin's communicator was turned off, and he didn't reply to his messages either. He tried looking for Ci Jincheng and Lung, but neither of them were free. Sird and Hard? Their abilities were still lacking. Pride? No way. Knight felt that if Pride went, he might not be able to stop himself from fighting all three of them at once. It was better to go with Silin.
And so, the communicator was turned off after the first call. The second call was turned off, and the third call was still turned off … Knight had endured from yesterday until today, and his face was haggard. He wanted to go to the research division several times, but if he did, Mo Heng would probably leave both of them there. If that was the case, then he really wouldn't have any chance at all.
The Sector Championship was about to officially begin, and the registration for some of the smaller competitions ahead of it was the first to open. There were two days, yesterday and today, so it was no wonder that Knight was in such a hurry.
Silin was amused by Knight's aggrieved look. "Alright, I just got a few days off. I'll go with you to meet the twins."
Knight's eyes lit up when he heard Silin's words. The haggard look on his face disappeared as if he had been injected with chicken blood, "Brother, you'd better come back soon. The registration ends tonight. I'm going to send the duel invitation right now! Beep — "
Silin was speechless as he stared at the disconnected communicator. Just how thirsty was this guy?
After stretching, washing up and tidying up, Silin walked out of Mo Heng's workshop. After sleeping for two days, he was hungry. Looking for food was his top priority.
As he walked to the research division's cafeteria, a student who did not look well greeted Silin weakly.
"What's wrong, Singh? You don't look too good, "Silin said.
Singh was about the same age as Silin. He was a specially recruited first-year student, but he basically did not go to class. He spent most of his time in the research division working on projects.
"Don't mention it. Poor bowel movement. I bring shit to work." Singh had always felt that working in the research division was just like going to work. He had to clock in, work on projects, and get paid. He was like an office worker.
"Pfft — Singh, this is a cafeteria. Can't you be a little more refined?" Someone beside him spat out his orange juice and glared at Singh.
"Sorry, I have to be considerate to someone with periodic constipation." Singh made an apologetic gesture and left the cafeteria.
Silin smiled and shook his head. This guy was famous for his periodic constipation.
After looking for food, Silin returned to his workshop to pack up and get ready to return to the dormitory. As he was packing, Ling Long came over.
After entering, Ling Long asked in a small voice, "There's no one else here, right?"
"No, the surveillance wasn't turned on either … What are you trying to do? Are you trying to take over a man? "After eating and sleeping, Silin was in a much better mood and joked around more.
Ling Long curled her lips. After closing the door, she crossed her arms and looked at Silin with a sneaky smile, "How would I dare to take over Shadow X."
Hmm?
Silin was surprised. Ling Long's words were very certain. There was not even a hint of speculation in them. How did she know? The information protection measures on the platform were done by him personally.
Ling Long looked straight at Silin, "Whether you swim in the water or fly in the sky, whether you are ugly or beautiful, I can always recognize you at first glance."
Silin smiled when he heard this, "Levine's Colors, Chapter 7, 'The Butterfly and the Dragonfly'."
"You read Levine's books too?" Ling Long's eyes shone, as if she had finally found a friend after traveling thousands of mountains and rivers, "Very few people read Levine's fantasy fairy tales with a more artistic style. I didn't expect you to read them too, and remember them so clearly."
Silin didn't say anything.
Chapter 7 of Levine's Colors was about a butterfly and a dragonfly.
There was a very large tree by the stream. Its thick branches stretched across the stream. A very disgusting caterpillar was lying there eating leaves. The branch was very close to the water, and after eating its fill, it climbed up the leaf and looked at the water below on a whim. Through the reflection of the water, it saw an ugly and ferocious-looking insect below the water, and that insect also saw it. For a period of time, the caterpillar ran over every day, and every day, the insect under the water would wait for it at the same place below the water.
Days passed, and the caterpillar was about to turn into a cocoon. That day, it ran to the same place and glanced at the insect under the water, then climbed to a place on the tree where its companions were turning into cocoons. The day after the caterpillar left, the insect under the water climbed out and attached itself to a plant that was exposed above the water. Many of its kind also climbed out along the water plants, and their bodies began to change.
When the caterpillar broke out of the cocoon and flew out as a butterfly, it immediately returned to the original place, but there was no sign of the insect under the water. It was very dejected, and flew with its companions to a flower field not far from where it was. There were colorful flowers everywhere, and all sorts of butterflies, dragonflies, bees, and so on. It was very lively.
The butterfly flew and flew, and when it passed by a patch of irises, its gaze fell on a purple iris. There was a dragonfly there, flapping its wings, and its thin wings reflected a metallic glow under the sunlight …
At the end of "The Butterfly and the Dragonfly", Levine wrote a paragraph as usual. One of the lines was, "Whether you swim in the water or fly in the sky, whether you are ugly or beautiful, I will always be able to recognize you at first glance."
"Do you believe Levine's words?" Exquisite asked.
"I don't know," Silin answered. But Hannah believed that she liked this fairy tale very much, and that was why Silin remembered it.
Exquisite glanced at Silin, "You don't believe it." Jumping onto the table at the side, Exquisite shook her legs like a child, "There are many unreasonable things in fairy tales, but I agree with Levine's words."
Turning around, Exquisite looked at Silin seriously, "I knew it was you the moment I saw Shadow X."
Silin's back was sweating. Was this a confession?
Fortunately, Exquisite did not dwell on this. She took out the microcomputer from her bag, turned it on, logged into the Sector Championship platform, and pulled up the Sector Championship forum.
"Look, Shadow X, you're famous."
