Volume 10: Pride and Prejudice in the City-State Chapter 29: Postscript: Things Forgotten
"...I told you that there's no problem, even if it means you have conflicts with other players."
A few hours later, in the professor's office, the professor of archaeology was not surprised at all when he saw Li Lin, who looked relieved.
"I believe you can handle all the problems around you, and I also believe you can complete all tasks perfectly. Facts have proved that you have never let me down. Even when facing your compatriots, you are still the best one. I have never misjudged you."
"No, no, no, if I hadn't been lucky this time, I would have been really screwed."
Li Lin immediately expressed his disapproval of the professor's blind optimism.
"Those players are actually quite strong, although they still don't seem to be very good at fighting. However, that's only because they underestimate us. If they had reacted, or if they had realized it the first time, I would have been the one to fall."
"And yet you are still the final winner?"
"But this winner is more of a winner of luck than a winner of strength."
Li Lin thought back to his journey and shook his head helplessly.
Strictly speaking, this time it seems to be a picnic mode, but the danger inside is really not too small.
Do you remember the weird woman who appeared at the beginning? That thing was a flagship product made by a certain player guild. It was a self-destructing . It can be said that it was a sure thing. If the people of Wuwei League were not hated, there would be no big killer weapon. Li Lin might have capsized in the gutter this time.
Strictly speaking, he had already failed once, as that weird cursed humanoid had blown him to death. Li Lin was not afraid of those players who really spoke with strength, after all, the internal test players were not at all inferior in a head-on confrontation. However, those players who focused on scientific research and props really frightened him.
And strictly speaking, Li Lin really doesn't want to have any conflicts with the players. After all, he is an ordinary player who has reached this point by using internal beta resources. What will happen to those real hardcore players and liver emperors, or even those who play games with auxiliary computing cores? Now it's just that the players haven't reacted yet. They haven't really exerted their strength yet. Many people are stuck on the integration of worldviews. After all, although there are already quite a few people playing Les Miserables, most of them are locust players. However, Li Lin cannot ignore the existence of those terrible players behind the locust players.
Especially when he himself saw Alice , the European emperor, she was cheated by Li Lin so many times but still managed to get up. Those players who have strong liver power, sufficient brain power, no sleep for 24 hours, and good luck, how far have they developed? This is a very scary thing.
"But as you said, the players do have great potential and ability, and this will be taken into consideration."
After Li Lin's description, the professor had a general idea of the players' combat effectiveness.
Those who are into scientific research have big imaginations, those who are into force are not afraid of death, they are blinded by money and greed, just like Li Lin himself.
In other words, they are excellent mercenaries and employees, but that's all. There are still a few people like Li Lin, who is now a lecturer in the Holy Light Department and an assistant in the Archaeology Department, who can be regarded as one of their own, and they need to undergo subsequent assessments and reviews.
The professor can basically figure out the players' logic and attitudes through Li Lin's description. They are indeed very strong, but just as people are divided into different levels, it is impossible for all players to be so strong. The professor actually thinks more clearly than Li Lin himself. As long as the high-end ones are not hostile, there is nothing to be afraid of. Even if they are targeted, the strength of the university is unquestionable. In general, the mission is dangerous, but that's it.
Looking at Li Lin, who looked relieved as if he had survived a disaster, the professor smiled helplessly, shook his head, and stretched out his hand to Li Lin.
"Then congratulations again on your breakthrough. Now hand me the information."
"……ah."
Forgot.
Looking at the professor's somewhat puzzled look, Li Lin finally realized what he had forgotten.
His mission was not to fight against the players, nor to kill every living thing on the map. This time his mission was really to get information.
From the beginning to the end, it didn't matter which players they were, as long as they brought the data, the mission would be considered completed. However, because those players were too suicidal and Li Lin himself was having too much fun, this led to a very subtle phenomenon.
Li Lin successfully completed the task of killing all the players, and then he was so proud of himself that he went back to the university to brag and chat with the professor. After a series of things, he remembered that his task was not to kill the players, but to take out the information inside and send it back to the university. However, Li Lin was obsessed with killing and completely forgot about it. The moment he recalled it, Li Lin's head was covered with cold sweat.
"Li Lin?"
Looking at Li Lin standing there in a daze, the professor asked curiously:
"So, where's the data? The Holy Light Department and our Archaeology Research Department are still waiting for it."
"…Um, um, Professor, could you wait for me for a moment?"
I have to teleport over again to send the data back, just wait for me for five minutes. Hahahaha...
Facing his professor's hopeful gaze, Li Lin, who had completely forgotten his job, could only smile awkwardly, holding the back of his head and laughing. Looking at Li Lin who was laughing, the professor seemed to understand something and pointed at him and laughed.
The two smiled at each other, looking unusually happy and harmonious. The two looked at each other and laughed wildly, as if they had inhaled some kind of laughing gas. Even the windows around them seemed to be infected by this laughter, and they kept shaking, leaving behind waves of inexplicable but real fluctuations. The air was filled with a cheerful atmosphere, and even the arcane servants who appeared around them at some point showed a happy expression.
“Hahahahaha!!”
“Hahahaha!!”
Looking at Li Lin who was scratching his head and laughing, the smile on the professor's face suddenly disappeared the next moment.
"So you failed this mission. Wait for the punishment mission. It seems that the two missions were indeed outings. The next one will be a formal lecturer mission. I hope Mr. Li Lin, the Holy Light lecturer, can complete the mission perfectly."
"……yes."
