Catastrophic necromancer

Chapter 73: Everything Within Expectations

Director Qiu of the Academic Affairs Office stood respectfully to the side.

Bai Yiyuan sat casually in what was originally Qiu’s seat.

Lin Moyu was slightly surprised to see Bai Yiyuan when he arrived, but didn’t show much reaction.

“Greetings, Lord White God. Greetings, Director Qiu.”

Bai Yiyuan chuckled and beckoned to Lin Moyu, “I watched the footage of this trial. You performed very well.”

Is that why he was called here?

Lin Moyu said softly, “I only did what needed to be done.”

This trial was for the Mermaid’s Tear, but Lin Moyu still didn’t know what it was used for.

However, since the university arranged it this way, the Mermaid’s Tear must be useful.

Bai Yiyuan smiled more broadly. Not arrogant in victory, not discouraged in defeat – this was the best mentality to become a top expert.

“Do you know the use of the Mermaid’s Tear?”

Lin Moyu shook his head, not knowing.

Bai Yiyuan smiled, “Actually, not many people in this trial knew the purpose of the Mermaid’s Tear. After all, the level gap is too big, most people can’t use it.”

“The Mermaid’s Tear is related to the success rate of awakening talents during the second transition.”

Lin Moyu was slightly surprised internally.

There was a chance to awaken talents during the second transition, but this chance was extremely slim.

Only one in ten thousand could awaken talents.

He had thought it was just a matter of luck, not expecting there to be items that could increase this probability.

Though slightly surprised inside, Lin Moyu’s expression remained unchanged, not even his eyes showed any change.

Bai Yiyuan couldn’t see the expected emotion in Lin Moyu’s eyes, and felt somewhat disappointed.

“Of course, items that can help awaken talents aren’t limited to the Mermaid’s Tear. It’s just that the Mermaid’s Tear is relatively easy to obtain.”

“We originally calculated the time and location of Mermaid Island’s appearance, but didn’t expect Cherry Blossom Country to also figure it out, which almost caused this trial to fail.”

“Fortunately you were there, so you’ve made a great contribution this time.”

“In the Divine Summer Empire, faults must be punished, but merits must also be rewarded.”

“What reward would you like? I’ll try my best to fulfill it.”

Bai Yiyuan said a lot, but the last sentence was key.

Lin Moyu thought for a moment, “Can you help me find someone?”

Bai Yiyuan chuckled, “I knew you’d ask this. Didn’t you already check at the Academic Affairs Office?”

“Your sister Lin Mohan joined the university last year, and joined Creation God Academy early this year. That’s why you could only find blank records for her in the university.”

“All students who join Creation God Academy have blank records.”

This time Lin Moyu was truly shocked, “My sister joined Creation God Academy?”

He knew how difficult it was to enter Creation God Academy. As the top academy in the university, its entry requirements were ridiculously high.

Jiang Taotao’s ultimate dream was to join Creation God Academy.

Ning Yiyi also told him to definitely try to join Creation God Academy if possible.

Creation God Academy always had a mysterious aura in his mind.

He didn’t expect his sister to get in first.

Lin Moyu realized there was an issue.

How could his sister join Creation God Academy in less than half a year after entering the university?

Even internal members cultivated by the university like Jiang Taotao hadn’t been able to join Creation God Academy.

Bai Yiyuan said, “Lin Mohan did indeed join Creation God Academy. According to the rules, I can’t reveal anything about Creation God Academy to you.”

“So if you have any questions, you’ll have to join Creation God Academy yourself and ask your sister.”

“You probably won’t be able to see your sister before you join Creation God Academy.”

Lin Moyu asked without hesitation, “How can I join Creation God Academy?”

Bai Yiyuan was prepared for this. He operated his communicator for a moment, then Lin Moyu’s communicator received a notification of some information.

“Alright, I’ve sent you the conditions for joining Creation God Academy. You can look at them when you have time.”

“Regarding your sister, I was going to tell you anyway, so it doesn’t count as your reward. You can ask for something else.”

Lin Moyu thought for a moment, “I want a cooldown talisman.”

Director Qiu had an “as expected” expression.

Bai Yiyuan slapped the table and laughed heartily, “Old Qiu, didn’t I say so?”

Director Qiu laughed, “My lord is truly omniscient, completely correct.”

Lin Moyu’s two requests were both within Bai Yiyuan’s expectations.

Bai Yiyuan looked at Lin Moyu teasingly, “Do you know how valuable cooldown talismans are? Even junior cooldown talismans can’t be bought casually.”

Lin Moyu nodded.

Indeed, they couldn’t be bought. Even the university exchange didn’t have them.

Bai Yiyuan said, “Let’s deal with things separately. You performed very well in the big exam, getting the national top scholar position. The rewards for that have already been given to you, so we’re even on that matter.”

“You’ve made contributions in this trial mission, but that alone isn’t enough to exchange for a junior cooldown talisman.”

“I have a mission here. If you complete it, I’ll help you get a junior cooldown talisman.”

Lin Moyu’s eyes lit up, “Alright.”

With a junior cooldown talisman, things would be much more convenient for Lin Moyu.

He could repeatedly run dungeons in a short time, greatly increasing his leveling speed.

Bai Yiyuan said, “First raise your level to 20, then you can execute this mission.”

“As for how to level up, you can ask Director Qiu. He’s an expert in this area.”

“Alright, contact me again when you reach level 20.”

Now Lin Moyu’s communicator had Bai Yiyuan’s contact information.

He could contact Bai Yiyuan when he reached level 20.

Get a cooldown talisman, join Creation God Academy, find his sister.

Lin Moyu set these goals for himself.

After Bai Yiyuan left, Director Qiu finally sat back in his own seat.

He looked at Lin Moyu with a smile.

From Bai Yiyuan’s attitude earlier, he could see that Bai Yiyuan had high hopes for this young man.

He knew very well what Bai Yiyuan was usually like. In all these years, he had never seen Bai Yiyuan be so amiable with anyone.

Even those top geniuses in Creation God Academy were scolded harshly by Bai Yiyuan.

Bai Yiyuan’s attitude towards Lin Moyu completely surpassed that towards other students.

If he didn’t know Lin Moyu’s identity, he would have suspected Lin Moyu might be Bai Yiyuan’s illegitimate son.

Director Qiu smiled and said, “There are many ways to level up, but the fastest way is definitely to solo dungeons.”

“However, soloing dungeons is difficult and dangerous. Most people at most run normal difficulty, and may not even fight the final boss because they can’t beat it.”

“Besides soloing dungeons, you can find elite monster areas in the wild. There are quite a few such places.”

“But those places are also crowded, and disputes over territory often occur.”

“There’s also finding wild bosses. Wild bosses provide a lot of experience, more than dungeon bosses, and can also drop good equipment.”

“But wild bosses are contracted by various guilds. People who don’t know can’t even figure out the respawn times.”

…

Director Qiu mentioned many methods. Apart from dungeon running being somewhat reliable, all the other methods weren’t very feasible.

These directions were only suitable for ordinary career professionals, not for Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu understood this in his heart, but still listened very patiently.

Though not useful for himself, this was still knowledge.

You never know when it might come in handy.

For example, Director Qiu mentioned public monster areas between countries, which Lin Moyu had never heard of before.

Director Qiu talked for a long time, not stopping for a full ten minutes.

Finally, seeing Lin Moyu had no reaction, he couldn’t hold back anymore.

“Lord White God was right, you really don’t talk much. I give up, no more jokes.”

“Give me your ID card, I’ll process some paperwork for you.”

Lin Moyu handed over his ID card. Director Qiu quickly processed the paperwork and also gave Lin Moyu a special-looking teleportation stone.

“This is the teleportation stone for the Dungeon Hall.”

“Within the university grounds, you can use it to teleport to the university’s Dungeon Hall.”

“If you want to run dungeons, go there.”

“Oh right, this teleportation stone is worth 1000 points. It’s been deducted from your point card.”

In the university, everything was based on transactions.

If you want to get something, you have to pay a corresponding price.

Either labor, points, or gold coins.

There’s no such thing as free lunch.

After leaving the Academic Affairs Office, Lin Moyu first thought of contacting Ning Yiyi.

He had promised to help her level up, and naturally couldn’t go back on his word.

His communicator vibrated, receiving a message from Ning Yiyi.

“Something came up, leaving for a few days. Will contact you when I’m back.”
