“Congratulations on your successful completion of the ‘Advanced Scholar Assessment’ and welcome to the Scholar’s Temple!”
In the grand hall of the Scholar’s Temple.
Sanctuary Magician Alex warmly approached Su Yu and adorned him with a beautifully crafted badge on his chest. [Advanced Scholar Badge (Golden Epic)]
Jewelry
Property 1: Gain intelligence = your current level Xl.
Property 2: Gain Mana = your current level X20.
Property 3: Additional skill [Clear Mind]: Remove a specific control effect, cooldown time 120 seconds.
Property 4: Additional skill [See Through (Passive)]: Immune to [Charm], [Confuse] and other negative charm-based states.
The control effect in Property 3 refers to being knocked off, dizziness, coma, freezing, transformation into a sheep, and more. Bleeding, poisoning, and other negative states are not included.
But this jewelry is already so powerful!
With only properties 1 and 2, Su Yu currently gains 11 points of spell power and 220 points of mana.
The mana can be further enhanced in combination with the [Tear of the Goddess] to increase spell power, the more potent the later!
Properties 3 and 4 could also significantly enhance Su Yu’s survival ability in front of control skills, so as not to be controlled by monsters to death.
In the hall.
Many scholars looked on with envy at the badge on Su Yu’s chest.
This is the title of an advanced scholar!
Most of them were only primary or mid-level scholars. Passing the “Advanced Scholar Assessment” in their lifetime would be already enough to fulfill their lives.
Who would have thought that Su Yu would pass it at such a young age!
Haimleke looked at Su Yu with a complicated expression.
Just now, looking at the description on the invitation, he thought Su Yu was merely a nouveau riche.
But he didn’t expect Su Yu to be so amazing, quietly passing the assessment he had been preparing for a few years!
“Master Alex, how many questions did Nemesis get right?” asked Haimleke.
“26, much stronger than you were at the time.”
“26?!” Haimleke opened his mouth wide, at a loss for words.
Despite full preparation, he barely managed to answer 22 questions right. Yet Su Yu managed to answer a full 4 questions more!
Astonished exclamations filled the hall, and the scholars looked at Su Yu incredulously.
26 questions!
With such an achievement, the temple might not produce a scholar who could pass the advanced scholar’s assessment in 20 years!
“Are all you otherworldly adventurers as powerful as this?” Haimleke felt a bit overwhelmed.
If all otherworld adventurers were as knowledgeable and wealthy as Su Yu, able to come up with 100 million spiritual energy coins at a time, did the natives still stand a chance?
Hearing Haimleke’s question, Magician Alex too turned his attentions toward su Yu.
“Of course not, I’m an exception,” Su Yu hurriedly explained:
“Most adventurers are no different from you, and we’re very amiable. As long as you issue a commission and provide enough rewards, we will help enthusiastically.”
“That’s good.”
Hearing the truth in Su Yu’s words, Haimleke breathed a sigh of relief.
He walked up to Su Yu, apologizing regretfully: “I apologize for the words I spoke earlier. I shouldn’t have driven you out of the temple without any just cause.”
“To show my apologies, I decide to give you this, I hope you will not refuse.” No sooner had Haimleke finished speaking.
“Ding! You’ve triggered a rare hidden mission: [Haimleke’s Apology].”
“Mission requirements: Accept Haimleke’s apology.”
“Mission reward: Skill scroll [Transform to Sheep (Epic)], Experience Points
XIOO.”
“No worries! If it were me, I also wouldn’t want a Mamma Mia… oops, a businessman who only thinks of spiritual energy coins to join the temple. I totally understand your decision. Knowledge and books are our true strength!”
In the face of the [Transform to Sheep] skill scroll, Su Yu readily forgave Haimleke.
Moreover, he catered to Haimleke’s preferences with a few appropriate words. “You’re right! Knowledge and books are our greatest weapons. Let the merchants and noblemen go to hell!”
Like finding a kindred spirit, Haimleke stepped forward to shake Su Yu’s hands vigorously.
“Ding! Haimleke’s good impression of you +10.”
Su Yu:
“If it’s not rude to ask, are you married?” Su Yu asked quietly.
“Why are you asking that? I got married ten years ago, and already have three children.” Haimleke looked baffled.
Then why the hell you are giving me this ‘good impression’ thingy!
For the next hour, or half a day in game time, Su Yu stayed at the Scholar Temple.
The Temple held an elaborate welcome and celebration ceremony for him.
Besides Sanctuary Magician Alex, other high-level scholars also dropped by to convey their congratulations.
Su Yu’s fame in the [Scholar’s Temple] also soared like a rocket, going straight from neutral to revered.
After the ‘revered’ reputation was unlocked, he could also purchase more good stuff.
The event lasted an hour until Su Yu mentioned about meeting the Princess when Haimleke and others reluctantly let him go.
Leaving the Temple, Su Yu prepared to ride Dima to the Royal Palace.
But at that moment, he suddenly felt a slight knocking sensation in his palm.
The signal triggered Su Yu’s alert.
This signal is… Someone is there in the real world!
Su Yu quickly found a quiet place and clicked to exit the game.
In the rental room in the real world.
Su Yu took off the helmet and got up from bed.
Knock knock knock!
The knocking sound rang by him.
“Who is it?”
“Is this Mr. Su Yu? I’m the person in charge from the relevant department, and I’d like to talk to you.”
A cool feminine voice came from outside the door.
The relevant department? They got here so quickly?
Su Yu performed a magic scan towards outside the door and saw a pretty, spirited woman in her mid-twenties standing near the door.
He looked over to the opposite building, not noticing any sniper traces, and breathed a sigh of relief.
“Hold on a moment, let me tidy up a bit.”
Su Yu got up and put on his coat, stowing his laser gun in the wardrobe.
After a brief cleanup of the room, he prepared to open the door.
However, the moment he reached for the doorknob, his expression changed, a smirk playing at the corners of his mouth:
“Miss, if I were you I’d put away the gun first, at least show some sincerity to negotiate.”
The woman standing outside was none other than Zhong Feng’s deputy Xue Wenli.
Hearing Su Yu’s words, she couldn’t help but feel surprised: “There’s no surveillance camera around here, right? I didn’t make any noise pulling out the gun, either, how did he notice me?”
Nevertheless, she was a decisive person.
Xue Wenli took out the bullet clip and threw the pistol on the ground: “Can we talk now?”
“Of course.” Su Yu opened the door..
