"Regarding the study of crystal patterns, A 'Deng should have hidden some important knowledge."
"Why?
"Could it be a secret that can't be leaked?"
Irin passed through the long and winding tunnel and took the black technology crystal powered "elevator" up slowly.
On the way, Irin thought about the conclusion he came to, but more questions popped up in his mind.
"Could it be because … I don't have enough Reputation?"
Irin swiped with his index finger and pulled open the panel.
Ever since he became a Student Engineer, he had been passing all kinds of courses and exams to become an Intermediate Engineer. Irin's [Great Engineering College] Reputation had been stuck at [Friendly (06000)], and there had been no progress.
Actually, it was normal for there to be no progress.
He had bombed the lab so many times, it was already good enough that he did not lose any Reputation.
Soon …
Irin found Great Engineer Ah Deng again.
Irin felt that Ah Deng's full name was very hard to pronounce. "Ah Deng" was easier to pronounce.
"I say, Ah Deng …"
Irin went straight to the point.
“What？”
Ah Deng originally thought that Yi Lin was going to stir up some trouble when she came to find him.
He wanted to dodge, but he was not in time and was pitifully caught by Irin.
But when Irin told him the reason for his visit, Ah Deng suddenly widened his eyes.
"Y-y-you said that you want to solve the crystal mine's crisis?"
Ah Deng's reaction was somewhat out of Irin's expectations.
"Are you saying that I shouldn't go?"
"Ah! No, no, no. Go! You must go! Hurry up and go! Go! "
Ah Deng was so agitated that he almost cried.
He thought that Irin was thinking about how to cause trouble every day and had long since forgotten about this mission that concerned the survival of the Great Engineering College.
Irin's expression was calm as he nodded. "Then it's fine. I just wanted to inform you."
"My dear student." Ah Deng suddenly remembered something and carefully probed, "You … don't have any other conditions?"
"Conditions?" Irin was slightly stunned. Then, he pointed at his own face seriously. "My respected tutor, do I look like such a shameless person to you?"
Ah Deng hesitated for a long time.
In the end, he didn't say the words in his heart.
"My dear student, you must be careful!"
"You must return safely!"
"The Engineering College can't do without you!"
Dressed neatly, Ah Deng accompanied Irin all the way to the gate of the University of Engineering and said goodbye with tears in his eyes.
While he was at it, he planted a bunch of flags on Irin.
To prevent Ah Deng from saying more ominous things, Irin hurriedly left.
Before he left, the great engineer Ah Deng even wanted to say that he would personally drive Irin to her destination.
But as soon as Ah Deng said that, Irin walked even faster. This left Adon standing at the entrance of the Engineering College, dumbfounded and confused.
When did this student become so respectful of the "old" driver?
"Ah, that's great."
Ah Deng instantly felt that his earnest teachings had borne fruit. He strode arrogantly through the small path of the Academy and returned to the Engineering Tower.
…
Irin breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the Engineering College.
Fortunately, A 'Deng knew his limits.
This "important side mission" was already an SS-rank difficult mission.
If A 'Deng were to drive, the difficulty level would soar to SSS rank.
Irin stood not far away from the Engineering College for a while.
Wang Tiandi wagged his little tail and followed him.
Before he set off, Irin sent a message to Wang Tiandi. As expected, this dog followed him.
Eh?
Irin suddenly realized that this dog's smile was very smug and arrogant.
He took a closer look.
There was actually a bright red lipstick mark on the dog's face.
Irin instantly understood what this dog had been busy with these days.
"Do you still remember the big female wolf in the Moonlight Forest beside Rab Town?"
Irin sighed softly.
Instantly, Wang Tiandi's smug smile froze on his dog's face.
Irin, a man and a dog, walked on the bustling streets.
As far as his eyes could see, the entire city seemed to belong to the "Engineering College".
Almost everyone had the title of "engineer" above their heads.
In the city, there were many tall buildings.
The air routes crisscrossed, and many flying boards shuttled back and forth in an orderly manner.
On the streets, there were many strange machines.
For example, vending machines, massage machines, red, green, yellow, blue, orange, and purple street lamps, the air routes in the sky …
This was a strange city.
But it also made Irin unable to feel any sense of disharmony.
If one ignored the light of those crystals and the various "circuits" used in daily life, this was just like a modern metropolis.
As Irin walked inside, he suddenly had the illusion that he had returned to the "real" world.
Although Irin did not have any memories of the "real world", his feelings should not be wrong.
"The style of this game is getting stranger and stranger."
Irin suddenly felt a little curious. What kind of strange and beautiful local customs were on the backs of the other Giant God Beasts?
Thinking about it, if he was not trapped in this game world and could not get out, he would travel all over the place. Walking through seven … uh, no, six Giant God Beasts and looking at the scenery on the backs of different Giant God Beasts was also an extremely interesting thing.
"This game is really interesting."
Irin quickened his pace, but he could not help but laugh.
With the title of [Intermediate Engineer], Irin enjoyed all kinds of admiring gazes directed at him from all around.
Intermediate Engineers had very high authority in the city.
All the major stores gave him a super low discount of 20%.
But Irin had always been used to freeloading, so he naturally did not care for such a discount.
But in order to prevent the reputation of the Great Engineer Academy that he had painstakingly obtained from [Friendly] to drop, Irin spent the gold coins honestly to purchase a batch of daily necessities.
Speaking of which, the [Intermediate Great Engineer Set] on him had a few strange attributes.
[Hand Speed + 3%]
[Hand Speed + 5%]
[Hand Speed + 7%]
Why did the "hand speed" increase with a perfectly good engineer's robe?
Irin was speechless about the attributes of this set of equipment.
But the strange attribute of "hand speed" was not completely useless.
At the very least, Irin's drawing speed was much faster after wearing this set of equipment.
An hour later.
Irin walked out of the city.
Irin held up the map that he had bought from the grocery store, memorizing it while looking at the route marked on the map.
The map sold by the Aurora store was much more detailed than the one sold by the Giant God Beast Gaia. At the very least, there were less foggy areas on the map.
"Follow the northwest direction, through the Path of Sorrows, and through the Misty Mountains, you will reach the abandoned crystal mine."
"Oh? The Misty Mountains are marked with an 'X'? What does that mean? Treasure? They wouldn't go so far as to mark it on a map that costs 100G, right? "
Not long later, Irin arrived at the Path of Sorrows together with Wang Tiandi with doubts and anticipation.
Around the Great Engineer Academy city was a patch of lush vegetation.
But when they arrived at the Path of Sorrows, the ground turned grey. There were many grey crystal spikes on the side of the road, and there was not even a single blade of grass. Everywhere was filled with a desolate aura.
The withered leaves and branches were scattered on both sides of the path. From afar, it looked like a bunch of ferocious tree monsters. If it weren't for the fact that there were no red names and levels on the dead wood, Yi Lin might have tried stabbing it with a knife. It was so strange that it looked like a "war-damaged" gardening design.
The grey crystals on the side of the road attracted Irin's attention. In truth, the entire road was covered with these things, so it was hard not to notice them.
Irin walked to the side of the path, squatted down, and looked at the grey crystal spikes that grew out of the ground.
These spikes looked like a patch of grass, but the surface of the spikes was sharp and dark. It was obviously a solid substance.
"Wait, this is a crystal?"
After Irin looked carefully, a look of surprise flashed across his eyes.
"That's not right …"
Irin quickly shook his head.
He could not feel any 'crystal' energy on these spikes that looked like crystals.
Irin was now a proper engineer, so he could easily tell the difference.
"This is a dried up crystal."
Irin took out the Question Mark Godly Sword and turned it into a pair of daggers. He gently knocked on the grey spikes.
He did not use much strength.
"Rustle, rustle, rustle …"
The gray barb that was poked by Yi Lin instantly turned into powder on the ground.
Irin stood up silently and walked forward.
There was dead silence all around.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak —"
In the depths of the path, there were occasional strange cries of monsters that broke the silence.
"Crack, crack, crack …"
With every step Irin took, he crushed many grey spikes, leaving behind a trail of grey powder.
This place was like a piece of dead land.
There was no life.
Irin looked up.
Even the usually clear sky seemed to be covered with a layer of grey haze. There were no clouds at all.
As far as Irin's eyes could see, the scenery in front of him and the world around him seemed to be crying silently. It was like an extremely sad pantomime, without any lines. But the atmosphere was enough to make people depressed, and they could not help but feel sad.
"So this is the Path of Sorrows."
Irin suddenly understood the origin of the name of this land.
After walking for some distance.
Not far from Irin, the monsters of this leveling area finally appeared.
[Bouncy Monster]
[Level 39]
A level 39 monster was still within the range that Irin could accept.
Irin spent more than a month in the Great Engineer College to learn scientific knowledge. His level had only increased by one level, reaching level 36, because he had completed the current goal of the main mission. There was a certain gap between him and the monsters in this leveling area.
But this little bit of difference should be nothing to Yi Lin.
He was a man who would be mistaken by his teammates for cheating once he used his full strength.
It was a Bouncing Monster. It looked cute, round, and pitch-black. On the sphere, there were two lively eyes and an exaggerated smiling face. It looked like a cartoon.
Anyway, the style of this game was weird and unpredictable. Irin got used to it after looking at it for a while and was too lazy to complain.
Before entering the battle, Irin casually released the two mother spirits, Nie Hongxiu and Bai Xiaoyi, to get some fresh air.
"Oh? Your skin looks very healthy today! "
At the same time, Irin used another method and took the time to farm a wave of "Binding Points" for the divine sword.
Bai Xiaoyi snorted and curled her lips. "Nonsense."
Nie Hongxiu turned her head away. White hair and bare feet floated in the air, her expression cold. It seemed like she was not happy at all.
[Divine Sword 'Bai Xiaoyi' Binding Points + 2.]
[Divine Sword 'Nie Hongxiu' Binding Points + 3.]
Woman, your name is "You have a bad mouth, but your body is upright".
Irin had already grasped the trick of farming "Binding Points". He smiled and did not say anything.
Gou 'zi smiled evilly and took out a brand new fighting claw from the factory. He equipped it and was about to attack.
However, Irin was faster than Gou 'zi.
His body moved, turning into a shadow and sneaking behind the bouncing monster.
[Pursuing Shadow]!
[Shadow Execution]!
Poisoned Dagger!
Two Blade Fighting!
[Focus]!
[Poison Assassination]!
Breathing Technique!
Shadow Breaking Strike!
Before knowing the specialties of the bouncing monster, Irin did not plan to hold back. After all, he was killing a monster above his level, so it was best to play safe. Therefore, Yi Lin directly chose the most complete combo. The eight combo turned into one move and attacked loudly.
Eh?
When Irin got close to the back of the bouncing monster, he realized that this cute monster looked familiar and really unique.
On its forehead, there was a thick hair. When Irin got closer, he realized that the black and slightly curly hair was really eye-catching.
Irin's combo was really familiar.
He was so familiar that it almost formed muscle memory.
Before Irin could think about why there was a curly hair on the monster's head, this well-tempered knife suddenly stabbed fiercely into the back of the bouncing monster.
【-684】。
A three-digit number suddenly popped up above the bouncing monster's head.
Originally, this was something that he would be happy to see.
Until …
Hiss, hiss, hiss —
The curly hair on the bouncing monster's head quickly burst into flames and burned.
"F * ck! This is … a bomb!!! "
Boom —
In the distance.
The heat wave from the explosion blew all the hair that Wang Tiandi had just smoothed out to the back of his head.
Wang Tiandi's eyes widened.
In the heat wave, his hair was messy and his face was dumbfounded.
