Chapter 406 Why are you worrying about this?
In October, the weather turned cool.
Tianji Junior College.
In the weapon-refining room on the seventh floor, the walls were engraved with obscure runes and array patterns. Ye Yu was attempting to refine a mid-level spiritual weapon, with a row of materials and items placed beside her.
He was highly focused, using his power of attributes to meticulously refine the materials.
The difficulty of a spirit artifact increases with its grade. This mid-grade protective spirit artifact is at the intermediate entry level, with a relatively high defense value. It can withstand skill attacks below level 50. In comparison, low-grade spirit artifacts are useless and easily destroyed.
He tried it seventy-six times and became familiar with the process and its underlying principles.
However, drawing arrays and building low-level arrays are different from ordinary arrays. Spiritual artifacts are too small, so the attribute power must be compressed to a tiny size, and then the attribute power is used to carve patterns and designs, which is an extremely difficult and delicate task.
Forty minutes later, another flash of silver light appeared, followed by a few wisps of smoke. As expected, the item in his hand turned into scrap.
Xu Yijie, the instructor on the right, was about to comfort him, but seeing that Ye Yu hadn't given up and started mixing the ingredients, he stopped talking and asked directly, "How does it feel?"
Ye Yu scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "Teacher Xu, I haven't found my rhythm yet. Sometimes I suppress the attribute power too low, and sometimes I suppress it too high."
"Okay, you can prepare the materials now." Xu Yijie had a class to teach, so he gave him a few more instructions and left.
As he resumed his refining in the night rain, his cell phone suddenly rang. He put down his things and answered, "Hello, who is this?"
"I."
"What? How would I know who you are..." Ye Yu suddenly realized, "Brother?"
"The matter you asked me to investigate has yielded results. Is it convenient for you to investigate now?"
Ye Yun's voice was deep and somber. In fact, he had found out about it a long time ago, but there were too many uncertainties involved, and there were two things he had not investigated clearly.
How did that monster enter and leave Tianluo City? What was the girl it took away?
I was planning to investigate thoroughly before telling Ye Yu, but I still haven't found the answer.
He was frustrated, and even more frustrated was that his mentally challenged younger brother, who worked illegally, had discovered it before he did.
"Wait a minute," Ye Yu said, setting up several isolation arrays. "Now it's convenient, you tell me."
"It is absolutely true. He took a little girl across Tianluo City to the Liguang Forest. As for whether the girl is a demon or a human, no one has come into contact with her, so it is impossible to draw a conclusion."
Night Rain asked in surprise, "Absolutely?! How did it get into Tianluo City?"
Ye Yun calmly replied, "I'm not sure yet. By the way, how did you first find out that there was a problem with the border defenses?"
“A friend had doubts, so I wanted to investigate.”
“Your friend is quite capable. Tell him to keep an eye on Tianluo City lately and to let me know as soon as he hears any news.”
“Okay,” Ye Yu said as soon as she hung up, a message appeared on her phone screen indicating that money had been deposited into her account.
Ye Yun gave it to him, with a note saying it was a reward for his and his friends' hard work during this period.
Ye Yu suddenly became even more energetic. He was almost out of materials, but of course he didn't forget his business and wanted to contact Lu Yang to ask about his recent situation.
The weapon-refining room was acting strangely, so Ye Yu quickly put down her phone to control the equipment.
Just then, a person appeared inside the room. He was startled and only after recognizing the figure did he catch his breath and say, "Dean Zhang? What brings you here?"
In Zhang Zhou's eyes, Ye Yu's little means of isolation were like a thin sheet of paper, easily torn with a single poke.
"Your older brother already said not to worry about it and to focus on refining the weapon. Lin Yan already knows."
Ye Yu was initially uneasy, but he was relieved by the last sentence and nodded, saying, "Okay."
Zhang Zhou asked, "How's your studies going lately?"
"Huh?" Ye Yu was taken aback, clearly not expecting the other party to care about her study progress.
He first met Zhang Jinglue in the Liguang Forest, and Zhang Jinglue said he had a way to get into Tianji to study.
Tianji Junior Academy isn't ranked very well, and it was even surpassed by Nanheng.
However, in terms of weapon crafting, Tianji has Zhang Zhou, the number one weapon crafter in Tianluo City.
The teaching staff is good; with professional teachers, one can learn quickly. He knows very well that he is not suited to follow Lin Yan's self-taught, unorthodox path.
They came without hesitation. The mentor, Xu Yijie, was quite good. Zhang Zhou came over a few times, but didn't say anything.
So Ye Yu really didn't know how to communicate with such a master, and cautiously replied, "I have learned a lot of knowledge, mastered the materials and steps for refining weapons, and made a small improvement in array formations."
Zhang Zhou nodded. "You're an intermediate-level array master. There's an exchange meeting tomorrow. Can you get an invitation?"
“Oh, yes,” Ye Yu immediately produced an exquisite card. “I have one here. If the Dean needs it, I’ll give it to him.”
"You're not using it?"
Ye Yu smiled and took out another one, "I have a membership invitation that a friend gave me, this one is ordinary."
"Go to the materials room tomorrow and see, the access has been granted," Zhang Zhou said, taking the invitation and turning to leave.
Ye Yu was overjoyed, as she didn't have to spend money on materials. "Thank you, Dean Zhang."
……
Nanheng Junior College.
After finishing his class, Zhang Jinglue walked out of Class One's classroom and leisurely headed towards Yushalin.
With a leap, he landed high in a tree and shouted, "Wen Linhai, you drew the array wrong!"
Wen Linhai was startled and quickly regained his composure, focusing intently on copying the array patterns.
"You managed to keep things stable, not bad." Zhang Jinglue couldn't help but praise. But after Wen Linhai balanced his attribute power, he caught a glimpse of an old man rushing over like a shooting star.
Before Zhang Jinglue could react, the man came over and grabbed his ear.
Zhang Jinglue winced in pain, "Who are you?"
The elderly man angrily asked, "Which class are you in? Who is your homeroom teacher?"
"I am Zhang Jinglue."
Zhang Jinglue covered his ears and introduced himself, without answering which class he was in or who his homeroom teacher was.
The old man's brows furrowed with anger. He had intended to teach the young man a lesson, but Wen Linhai reacted upon hearing the name Zhang Jinglue. "Grandpa Wu, wait a moment."
The old man then let Wen Linhai off the hook, saying, "Don't act recklessly in the future."
"Hehe, if Wen Linhai can't even withstand this little bit of influence, then this trip has been a waste." Zhang Jinglue rubbed his ears and muttered to himself.
The old man had a strange expression; what was he muttering to himself?
When Wen Linhai arrived, Zhang Jinglue turned to him and asked, "How old are you? Why are you still being protected by your family?"
Wen Linhai: "..."
"You called me, is there something you need, Senior Sister?"
"No, is she all you care about? Don't you have anything to do with yourself?"
Wen Linhai asked doubtfully, "Why do you need to worry about this?" No, I'm not that close to Zhang Jinglue.
Zhang Jinglue: "..."
He didn't argue with the child and handed over an invitation, saying, "There's an exchange meeting for intermediate array masters. Go and broaden your horizons."
"yours?"
"Huh?" Zhang Jinglue asked angrily, "What's wrong with mine?"
Wen Linhai shook his head: "No need."
Zhang Jinglue: "..."
If it weren't for Lin Yan and Xu Xinglin, and if I weren't a teacher, who would care about you?
This despicable person is just like Ye Heifeng.
“Okay.” Zhang Jinglue smiled and said bluntly, “If you stay at the low level your whole life, there’s no other reason than that you deserve it.”
A hint of doubt flashed in the old man's eyes. How could Nan Heng raise such a child?
Zhang Jinglue seemed to have the ability to read minds, turning his head and retorting, "What's it to you?"
The old man was stunned for the first time ever.
Wen Linhai frowned, somewhat unhappy, and said, "I said I don't need it. If there's nothing else, you should leave now."
"Hehe, I don't want to come yet," Zhang Jinglue turned around and took a few steps, hesitating for a long time.
Wen Linhai: "..."
elder:"……"
Both of them were puzzled at the same time, wondering what he was going to do.
Zhang Jinglue finally sighed and compromised. These past few days, he had watched Ye Yu happily refining magical artifacts, and it was difficult for him to talk to the child.
The happier Ye Yu is now, the more miserable his days in Beihai were.
At least Ye Yu still has a way to go, but Wen Linhai's path is already fixed.
He put down the invitation, his earlier hostility gone, and calmly said, "It would be best to learn about the world of array masters. Your family doesn't have this profession, you're still a beginner student, and the academy is only responsible for your beginner courses."
Wen Linhai asked in confusion, "What are you trying to say?"
Zhang Jinglue said, "If possible, array masters should enter the intermediate stage as early as possible, because it takes a long time to reach the intermediate stage. Without knowledge reserves and future plans, even if you are fortunate enough to enter the intermediate stage, you will only feel pain, confusion, and even self-doubt."
Thousands upon thousands of mid-level array masters regret changing jobs after finding themselves unsuited to the intermediate level. But your attributes dictate that you can't switch to another class. That's all I'll say.
Wen Linhai was stunned.
The old man pondered for a moment. Zhang Jinglue was clearly a mischievous and unruly student, but upon closer examination, his words made some sense.
The old man waved his hand, and the invitation flew into his hand. "Linhai, I understand what your classmate means. He's doing this for your own good, but we still need to ask other experienced teachers. If it's suitable, would you like to consider it?"
After all, the opportunity for intermediate-level array masters to exchange ideas is very precious. It is a rare profession, and being intermediate-level, it will definitely attract a large number of talented people.
Wen Linhai snapped out of his daze and nodded: "Okay."
The old man suddenly remembered something and asked, "What is your relationship with this Zhang Jinglue?"
"He's my senior's good friend, and he's always by her side, so I thought he was..."
Seeing that Wen Linhai looked slightly dejected, the old man did not press further.
