Volume 9: Vampires and Dungeons Chapter 24: A familiar scene (Part 1)
"Ah, isn't this Lord Li Lin? We meet again."
"So it's you guys..."
Looking at the group of people who looked exactly the same as last time, Li Lin didn't know what to say.
It was obvious that the archaeologists could not appear out of thin air. After a series of tense emergency contacts, the archaeologists who appeared in front of Li Lin and chatted and laughed were actually the same original group. Their expressions and complexions clearly showed that they were used to many storms.
The archaeologists obviously had their own information channels and some, uh, weird life-saving facilities. These people had secretly escaped from the first banquet, and did not show any confusion or fear when they heard that all the people who attended the banquet had died and the housekeeper had committed suicide. This group of archaeologists who had not awakened magic were still laughing and chatting, and they were all ready to escape at any time.
Li Lin estimated and even felt that if he didn't pay attention, this group of people would also escape. How should I describe this reaction speed and behavior? It's worthy of being a profession that specializes in digging up people's ancestral graves and battlefields. They are very open-minded about this kind of things. They always gesture with the brush and magnifying glass in their hands, as if they are afraid that others will think they are not good enough. But if something really happens, they run faster than anyone else. The trivial matter of the Mist Family is not a big deal at all. Instead, they are extremely curious about whether this group of families are still alive.
Especially when they saw Li Lin appear in the storage room and began to honestly pick up an antique for appraisal, the expressions on the faces of these archaeologists became more subtle, and even made people feel a little funny.
"Master Li Lin, you actually still want to play around. You really have bad intentions, haha~"
"I didn't expect you to have such a bad hobby . You really make me feel like you are worthy of being from the Holy Light Department, oh no, the Archaeology Department, hehe."
“…”
So even if you give me an expression like 'you know what I mean', I don't know what you are going to say, okay?
No, it's not that I don't know, it's that I don't want to know, and I don't care at all. I'm a straight-laced person, so of course there's nothing wrong with that. Of course, players won't die, players are players, no problem.
Facing the smiling faces of the archaeologists, Li Lin could only put on a stern face and began to pretend to study the messy antiquities. In fact, Li Lin himself could be considered a qualified archaeologist, but the things he encountered all the time made his professional quality a little bit inferior. Now that he finally returned to the ordinary world, he could also experience what a real high-level player looks like.
To put it bluntly, in the past, they were all making history, but now they are finally researching history. Li Lin felt a little touched. His major, which he had acquired during the internal test, finally had some use.
Although strictly speaking it is not very useful, it just helps people identify things and sell them for money.
As for the commission, does the assistant teacher of the virtual godhood care about it? Mortals are happy to ask for money, but Li Lin only cares about brushing the progress bar.
"Oh hehe~"
“Hehehe~”
“…”
I really didn't do anything this time, I was just passing by.
So don't always look like this place will be gone sooner or later, okay? I'm really here to help.
Faced with the subtle expectant expressions on the faces of these archaeologists, Li Lin really didn't know what to say. He could only show a slightly awkward smile, then squat aside with an antique in his hand, pretending that he was carefully studying the patterns on it.
But it should be said that it is still a game, and the process of this kind of appraisal is definitely a reading bar. If you say that Li Lin really understands the bullshit era or color style in it, it is completely funny, but just cast an appraisal spell on it, and then slowly rotate the item until the progress bar is completed, and the appraisal, recommended price and description that should appear on it will be presented in detail.
This feeling was a bit subtle, like a lottery, and even if you took it out , you could push your skill bar forward, so why not? After the initial awkwardness, Li Lin began his job seriously, pretending to take out a magnifying glass and a brush to increase the speed of identification, and then took the identification skills one by one, and then used magic to continuously print the age and suggestions on the paper next to it. The people around him were stunned.
"Look at Master Li Lin. He looks so professional. I almost thought he was from the archaeology department."
"Yes, the speed and technique of the appraisal are very professional and outstanding. It is rare for the teaching assistant of the Holy Light Department to learn the teaching assistant of the Archaeology Department to this extent."
"It should be a hobby, right? I heard that Master Li Lin is also an assistant professor in the Department of Archaeology, so he should be a professional. But he is indeed from the Department of Holy Light, right?"
“…”
I am from the Archaeology Department, and the Holy Light Department is just a name, ok?
And I can also hear what you call whispering.
Li Lin resisted the urge to speak, and lowered his head to continue taking pictures of the identification skills to gain experience. Facing such a harmonious scene, the archaeologists who were studying on the side couldn't help but sigh:
"But to be honest, I always feel like this scene seems familiar—"
“——Aaaaaaaah!!!!”
Before he finished speaking, a shrill scream was heard from outside.
The archaeologists were stunned at first, then subconsciously turned their heads and looked at Li Lin, who seemed to have an innocent face.
Facing Li Lin who was filming the identification technique, these archaeologists pondered for a moment, and then showed strange looks and expressions such as "The adults are killing people again, so naughty" and "You are so bad".
“…”
Oh my god, are these archaeologists poisonous?
Is this how I want my reputation to be? I don't want this, okay?
I just want to complete quests and play games honestly, but they always block my way to complete the quests, and there's nothing I can do about it, right?
I didn't, I didn't, I didn't do it, at least I really didn't do it this time. You should at least have a little trust in your juniors.
What's more, the title of Pure Life Master doesn't sound so nice. If you say it quickly, people would think you are a midwife. I don't want to do this kind of thing. Can you please stop looking at me as if I am the mastermind behind this, okay?
Although nine times out of ten it was me who did it, it really wasn't this time.
"…I'll go out and take a look."
Facing the expectant gazes of many archaeologists, Li Lin opened his mouth and wanted to explain something, but still said nothing. He just opened the door and walked out.
