Chapter 43: Machinery or Runes
Buzz buzz buzz...
Just when Bai Qi adjusted his condition and was ready to start meditating, the phone in his pocket vibrated .
The person who called was Luo Xiang, who had previously conducted the special training program assessment for Bai Qi.
"Hey Bai Qi, come to Xingji Academy now, I have something to talk to you about."
"Hey, Team Leader Luo, it's five o'clock in the afternoon, and the school is on holiday soon, why are you going there?"
"Don't ask so many questions. Just come quickly. It's a good thing."
Beep, beep, beep…
Bai Qi put down the phone that had been hung up, looked speechlessly at the setting sun outside the window, and sighed silently.
These days, leaders never leave work.
Bai Qi is a member of the Beast Taming Association of Gusu City, but in the special training program he is under the command of Luo Xiang. Now that Luo Xiang has summoned him, Bai Qi is embarrassed to refuse.
Of course, it was also because of the good things Luo Xiang mentioned.
…
Xingxie Academy is located in the center of Gusu City. It is also the rush hour after get off work, so when Bai Qi arrived at Xingxie Academy, it was almost dark.
"Bai Qi, this way."
Luo Xiang, who had obviously been waiting for a long time, immediately waved his hand when he saw Bai Qi appear, and said, "Hurry up, Professor Dong has been waiting for a long time."
"Professor Dong? Who is that?"
Bai Qi was a little confused.
Although Xingji Academy is famous for its Department of Mechanical Engineering, it also has many other departments, large and small. Bai Qi has no idea who Professor Dong that Luo Xiang mentioned is.
"You haven't heard of Professor Dong from the Ancient Runes Department? How did you study all these years?"
Is it strange that I, a mechanics professor, don’t know the professor of runes?
Moreover, most college students don’t even know all the professors in their department.
Bai Qi couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "Team Leader Luo, can you tell me what's going on now?"
Luo Xiang said: "Remember what I told you last time, about learning rune knowledge."
Bai Qi nodded, with a bad feeling rising in his heart.
"Originally I wanted to take you to the headquarters for training, but Old Man Qin disagreed, and I can't stay here for too long, so I asked Professor Dong from the Rune Department of Xingji Academy to teach you rune knowledge."
"Don't worry, I've already made connections for you. It won't affect your studies at the Mechanical Weapons Institute. Just make time to go there once in a while."
thank you!
It's not possible to let a student from the Department of Mechanical Engineering learn runes, even if it's a cross-disciplinary project.
Bai Qi looked at Luo Xiang with resentment, and suddenly regretted joining the special training program.
I just don't know if he can get his money back if he quits now?
"I know what you're thinking. Although your [Breaking the Sky] talent can ignore the rune blockade of the secret tower, this talent cannot be triggered all the time, so in most cases you need to rely on yourself to crack it."
Bai Qi said: "Team Leader Luo, you seem to know a lot about this kind of talent?"
Luo Xiang nodded and said, "That's right, because I am one of them, otherwise how do you think I could be an examiner?"
Okay, I was stupid.
Bai Qi remained silent and followed Luo Xiang to the teaching building of the Rune Department.
Compared to the high-tech Mechanical Department, the Rune Department's building has some of the style of Western wizards in the previous life.
Weird runes and deep roads.
It's so creepy to watch.
"Professor Dong is considered a leading figure in the Rune Department in the Federation. He just came to Gusu City to retire because of his old age, so you should remember to be polite later."
When the two men walked to the office door, Luo Xiang gave Bai Qi a serious warning and only knocked on the office door after getting Bai Qi's confirmation.
"Professor Dong, I brought that kid here."
"Oh, it's Xiao Luo, come in."
A gentle voice came from inside the house, and Luo Xiang then quietly opened the door and walked in with Bai Qi.
Bai Qi looked around and found that the style of this office was quite different from the wizarding style he had imagined. It was more like a library.
Almost everywhere he could see was filled with books of all kinds.
And that voice came from behind a pile of books.
"I thought you guys weren't coming. Let me see what kind of talent you can personally recommend."
An old lady with a kind smile on her face walked out from behind the pile of books. When she saw Bai Qi, she asked in confusion, "Why don't I remember there being such a student in the Rune Department?"
Could it be that this old lady is able to remember all the students in the department?
"Professor Dong was able to draw the 104,981 runes discovered so far with her bare hands, without any mistakes. Do you think it's difficult for her to remember the students of the department?"
Luo Xiang quietly told Bai Qi about Professor Dong's glorious history, and then explained to Professor Dong: "Bai Qi is indeed not a student of the Rune Department, he is from the Mechanical Weapon Department."
Professor Dong was stunned when he heard this and asked, "Mechanical and Military Engineering College? Old Man Chu's student?"
Bai Qi nodded and said, "Yes, I have taken almost all of Professor Chu's classes."
It looks like there isn't any grudge between the two of them. I hope Professor Dong can just refuse directly.
"That's fine. If you can even listen to Old Man Chu's class, you will have no problem learning runes. "
Bai Qi's face suddenly turned bitter when he heard this, and he felt like he was shooting himself in the foot.
Is there any necessary connection between being able to enter the Department of Mechanics and learning runes? There is a big difference between the two.
Bai Qi glanced at Luo Xiang who was sitting upright beside him, and became more and more certain that this guy must have known that this situation would happen, so he was so sure.
"Professor Dong, is it too late for me to become a monk?"
Professor Dong smiled kindly and said, "Don't worry, runes are not as difficult as you think. In fact, from a certain perspective, runes are somewhat similar to mechanics."
Professor Dong took out a thick book from the bookshelf beside him and said, "This book records all the runes found so far and their corresponding explanations. Go back and take a look. If you have any questions, you can always ask me."
"If you don't mind the trouble, you can also copy the pictures and texts above. It will be very beneficial to the growth of your mental strength."
Copying runes can increase your mental strength. Professor Dong, are you sure you didn't go to the wrong set?
This is the world of beastmanship, not Hogwarts.
Seeing Bai Qi's doubtful look, Professor Dong didn't mind. Luo Xiang directly opened the rune dictionary and pointed to the previous rune on the first page and said, "You will know if you try it."
Bai Qi followed Luo Xiang's gaze and immediately believed it after seeing the rune that was distorted to the degree of Cthulhu.
If he could copy such a complex rune, it would be a problem if his mental strength did not increase.
And there are 104,981 such runes!
Suddenly I felt that what Professor Dong said just now was the opposite.
If you can learn runes, you will have no problem learning mechanics!
