Volume 8: Floating Under the Sky Chapter 3 Les Miserables 2.0
He was immersed in darkness again, and then reappeared in warmth. Li Lin opened his eyes and looked at this so-called new world.
It turns out that this update is indeed fruitful.
Originally, I thought the professor’s space was solemn and luxurious enough, but now looking at the updated world, Li Lin felt the profoundness of the culture.
Heavy bookshelves were placed comfortably under the brass walls, with countless thick-spine books neatly arranged on them. The pale yellow incense burner was set off by a blue magic ribbon, which circulated in the air, spreading the calming aroma to every corner of the room.
Even the sofa where Li Lin was lying had become luxurious and calm. The decorations that looked rough and grand were simple but extraordinary, and even the coffee table in front of him had a historical charm. The desk, which was the main part of the room, had simple lines with countless cultural flavors, highlighting a learning atmosphere.
The professor who was writing furiously on the table also looked much more handsome. If he was just an ordinary professor before, now he was obviously more bookish.
Gold-rimmed glasses hung on the bridge of his nose, and he frowned as he scanned the parchment scroll in his hand. His fingers gracefully drew various trajectories in the air, and the surging magic power was imprinted on countless parchments, quickly carrying countless knowledge and records. His calm and orderly appearance seemed to be as unhurried as the ancient British aristocrats.
After lying on the sofa and observing for a long time, Li Lin looked at the professor in front of him who had become more imposing and charming since the update and said tentatively:
" ……professor."
"Um?"
"You suddenly look a lot more handsome."
"...???????"
The professor was stunned when he heard this, then looked at Li Lin with a subtle expression as if to say 'you've finally gone crazy'.
"I know you've been feeling very depressed and irritated recently because of the problem with magic refining, but I suggest you vent your anger in a normal way. There's something wrong with your current mood. It's not good to vent your resentment on your work partners."
"???"
How did I do that to you? How did I express my grievances?
Who said praising people is good? Why am I considered a psychopath for telling the truth?
Looking at the professor's pitying expression, Li Lin opened his mouth to explain, but gave up after thinking about it.
However, seeing Li Lin's hesitation, the professor looked at Li Lin in surprise. After thinking for a few seconds, he looked up at Li Lin again and asked curiously:
"Has my image in your eyes changed in some way? Is there something wrong with your perception?"
"????"
Looking at the professor who seemed somewhat concerned, Li Lin felt indescribably shocked.
Holy shit, you can even recognize the new version of the player? Isn't your intelligence enhancement a bit too much?
If you put me in your position, I would definitely not be able to analyze any bullshit cognitive problems. Is this so-called NPC so abnormal in adjusting its own strength and intelligence?
"It looks like it should be."
Looking at Li Lin's shocked expression, the professor touched his chin, thoughtfully.
"There is something wrong with your perception, but you are mentally prepared. On the contrary, you are not mentally prepared for my language. This also shows that your changes are still under your consideration, but you have not considered that I can see this. In other words, you think that your cognitive changes are absolutely secret. Well, I suggest you report to the Holy Light Department."
“…What, what are you doing?”
"Of course it's to purify my spiritual pollution - don't be afraid, it's just a joke."
I just want you to deliver a magic seal.
Looking at Li Lin who was about to open the space door and run away, the professor said with a smile and threw a sealed and packaged box to Li Lin.
And the moment the box was touched, the space gates that had already formed around it twisted and shattered like bubbles - by the way, the shattering space gates became more and more beautiful, with a kind of grace and charm like a shattered rainbow.
"Changes in cognition happen all the time. Reality and thinking are easily disturbed by nerves and cognition, so I am not surprised by your changes. In short, the world in your eyes looks better, and I can tell from your expression. This may be a bad thing or a good thing. But it's you after all, so just keep it in mind."
There are a thousand worlds in the eyes of a thousand people.
Facing the still suspicious Li Lin, the professor said with a smile.
There is no way to confirm and understand the world of others, because you can only see what you see, and you can never see what others see.
Even with any instrument or prop, there is no way to replicate the world as seen by others. Because the perception of the world in the eyes of others may be completely different from yours, it is just a confirmation of the same thing. Just like color blind people and normal people. Can you be sure that the blue in your eyes is the blue seen by everyone in the world?
Maybe the person who likes "blue" doesn't like the "blue" in your mind, but just because the "blue" he sees is green in your eyes? For this kind of cognitive problem, although some extreme people will do a mental cleansing, most people will just live their lives as they please. After all, no one knows what the world looks like in the eyes of others, and it's really hard for you to ask humans to understand the vision of mantis shrimp.
"But this is also a good thing. It is very likely the first step in your transformation."
Facing Li Lin who still didn't believe it, the professor sat on the chair and said calmly:
"It just so happens that your magic power is blocked and you need to enter the transformation period. Your mark has been broken by a powerful force before. You only need to find your own spiritual will along the road to regain your magic power. Isn't that good? You can experience the power of the transformation period during the magic awakening period."
"But tell me who I can beat right now?"
"Hmm... maybe a student from the preparatory department?"
"Am I going to be worse off now than when I first got here?!"
"After all, you can only use your magic power for a few seconds. Although simulating the godhood can greatly reduce consumption, your problem is not consumption, but releasing it too quickly."
The professor shrugged and gave a slightly evil smile.
"Besides, you don't have any equipment. You were able to defeat him before because of your magic power. Now that you don't have magic power, of course you can't defeat him. It's such a simple truth."
