Volume 10: Pride and Prejudice in the City-State Chapter 20: The team is a bit difficult to lead
“…Is that all?”
"It's over."
"There is really no follow-up? Just gone? Is this the adventure mission?"
Looking at the NPC's back as he escaped over the wall, Li Lin confirmed to Alice beside him in disbelief.
What the hell is this? A long-winded NPC said a lot of nonsense, and then the curse was lifted, and that's it? Where are the promised series of quests? Where are the promised love, hatred, and vengeance? Where are the promised mess of exciting adventures? What the hell is this?
It seems that an NPC cursed by a demigod is going to some godly place to find holy water. This is the first step. Why should I go through so much trouble? He is just a demigod. The mark of Sariel can be directly covered. If it doesn't work, the mark of revelation can be erased. Why bother to find holy water? What if the holy water is not found and the holy flame burns the person to death? Will you be responsible? This is really weird. Are all adventure quests so weird?
Li Lin stood there completely puzzled, just like when he was a kid, he had eaten something that he thought was delicious, and other people also said it was delicious, but when he really came across it and took a bite, he felt that it was not as delicious as the food he usually ate. This inexplicable awkwardness, coupled with the deserted environment around him, if there were no one around, Li Lin really wanted to curse out loud. How can you do this? You made it seem like the end of the world just because you broke the demigod curse, can you be more normal? Isn't it just a demigod? I have killed gods, why should I be afraid of you?
Seeing Li Lin's expression of collapsed worldview, Alice didn't say anything harsh, but patted his shoulder with pity.
"So I said, adventure missions are actually meaningless. Generally speaking, they give you a very mysterious requirement and task chain, and after you complete them with great effort, you are given a bunch of weird things. Before, at least it was some equipment, rare materials, etc., but now it's just an invitation letter."
"Let me see. I don't believe it..."
What else could it be?
Li Lin felt a little unhappy and took the poem and map from Alice angrily.
The poem described a girl's confession to the boy she liked. It was a rather cheesy poem and no one knew what it meant. The map looked like a code table, with disordered spots and marks everywhere, which made it look quite mysterious.
"It seems nothing..."
Is this a puzzle?
Li Lin looked over the invitation letter in his hand and muttered something, then turned to the back and took a look.
He immediately saw a familiar mark, which made the White Knight exclaim in his heart, "Fuck!" And the system prompt seemed to enjoy his shock, coming belatedly.
'System prompt: You are observing the rare item 'University Application Form'.'
'System prompt: This strange object is this year's university application form. It was not originally like this, but was distorted by magic and unique alchemy. In fact, the poem is completely unnecessary, just like a gift. Its only use is to rub the two imprints together, and then perfectly present the internal structure and appearance. Miss Emma from the Human Resources Department is responsible for this. She wants to confess to Associate Professor Tast of the Biology Department, but she doesn't know whether that person is a man or a woman, so she distorted the form as the price of missing him . '
'System prompt: Obviously, this distorted application will not allow one to successfully enter the university as an intern, because this invitation letter is originally a waste, not an original one. The university does not fully recognize this kind of application that reveals personal emotions, even if it is later made up. As an applicant, you still need to carry out a series of tasks and tests to confirm whether your spirit and ability are able to take on the position of a university intern.'
'System prompt: If you are a teaching assistant or above, you can confirm the authority of this invitation letter by signing or branding it. You are currently a lecturer in the Holy Light Department of the university and a teaching assistant in the Archaeology Department. Not only can you accept this invitation, you can also directly apply for other invitation letters.'
“…”
Shouldn't the people in the HR department report it?
And why is it the Holy Light Department lecturer and the Archaeology Department assistant? ? Where is the Archaeology Department lecturer? Professor, are you lying to me?
Looking at the application form with the university's stamp on it, Li Lin felt his hands and feet burning. A feeling of "you are embarrassing yourself" kept spreading in his mind. It could be said that he was extremely embarrassed.
I was wondering why that description looked so familiar. The underground palace filled with holy water, that was the university's data storage, right? As for the damn holy water, it was because the Holy Light data could assimilate the surrounding environment just by placing it there. There was a river next to it, and the water system was very rich. What's wrong with an underground dark river being purified by the Holy Light system and having a certain ability to break curses?
Moreover, that thing is the combat data of the old god's decay day. It would be strange if the evil-breaking mark contained could not break the curse casually issued by a demigod. As a cracker, Li Lin can fully understand how strong the curse is. It can be said that the demigod is definitely wholesale such scrolls. Except for the mark that maintains the effect, everything is at the minimum. If there is no demigod mark, Li Lin would believe that the thing can only make people sneeze.
And this is an adventure mission? In the end, I got a half-crippled college application? Are all the peripheral members so embarrassing now? Isn't your cutting corners too serious? Can you at least give people something good?
Looking at the hot object in his hand, Li Lin thought about it and sighed.
"…an application for a university organization."
Li Lin turned around, casually patted the two things, restored them to their original appearance, and handed them to Alice.
"This is an application form from my organization. If you take it, you can apply to become a peripheral staff member. But since this thing has been processed by someone, it's not that serious. You may have some tests when the time comes. If you like, take it . It won't be a problem anyway."
"Eh? Ah, thank you..."
I thought you definitely wouldn't want to...
Looking at Li Lin with an embarrassed face , the former female anchor was stunned for a moment, then took the application.
Holding the application form with both hands and carefully observing the words on it, the female anchor exclaimed in surprise and gave Li Lin a friendly smile.
"You really are a good person, Li Lin. It would have been better if you hadn't been so cruel in the beginning."
"I'm going to do something even more brutal now, and it's just as brutal now."
After feeling the ceremony venue set up at the White Bastion, Li Lin turned around and asked:
"Can you find any high ground nearby? The kind where you can see the bastions. I'll show you something exciting."
