Chapter 219: Chapter 219: Open the Door

Realizing that Yan Lanbing was about to come looking for trouble, Ye Lin didn't say a word and immediately packed his things to head to Professor Shen's laboratory.

Seeing Ye Lin arrive, Professor Shen slapped his thigh, his face lighting up with joy.

"Good student! You're here! Come quickly and take a look; I've researched another good thing during this time! I hid it and didn't show it to anyone else; only you can understand me!"

Professor Shen excitedly held a skill scroll and handed it to Ye Lin, but Ye Lin was uninterested, sighing gloomily with a miserable expression.

"Professor Shen... I'm not in the mood to look at this right now."

"What's wrong?" Shen Jingbin scratched his head in confusion, then widened his eyes. "Is someone bullying you?"

"Not exactly, Professor Shen. If there were someone who promised to give me something but wanted to go back on their word because I took too much, what would you do?" Ye Lin asked.

"What? Who is it? I'll beat that son of a bitch to death! Once a person is dead, the debt is gone; if he's dead, you won't owe him anything anymore." Professor Shen rolled up his sleeves without a second thought.

"Professor Shen! You really are the best to me!"

Ye Lin fell to his knees with a thud and hugged Professor Shen's thigh, bursting into tears.

"Don't worry! I'll stand up for you!"

Shen Jingbin patted his chest, and just as he finished speaking, a dark-faced Yan Lanbing arrived on the scene.

He stared at Ye Lin, gritting his teeth and speaking word by word.

"I heard from others that you used my name to fleece all the Legendary-grade equipment in the Great Xia Academy?"

"Dean, didn't you say that reasonable requests could be made freely?" Ye Lin looked innocent.

"Do you call this reasonable?" Yan Lanbing roared.

"I don't think it's very reasonable, which is why I came to find Professor Shen," Ye Lin blinked his large, expressive eyes.

"You damn..."

Yan Lanbing clutched his chest, feeling so angry it actually hurt.

"Oh, old Yan, anger harms the body. Look at you, at your age, why are you still bickering with a child like Ye Lin? Give me some face, let it go, let it go." Shen Jingbin patted Yan Lanbing's shoulder with feigned generosity.

"Let it go? How can I let it go! That was every single piece of Legendary-grade equipment in the entire Great Xia Academy!" Yan Lanbing was so anxious his face and neck turned red.

"Hmm? Does that mean you want to fight?"

Shen Jingbin clenched his fists without a word, his aura surging.

"Old Yan, if Legendary-grade equipment is gone, we can fight for more or go rob others, but if you push me too far, I can't guarantee whether or not I'll go dig up the Human Emperor's tomb again."

"Mr. Dean, you wouldn't want to see the Great Xia Academy on the news headlines tomorrow, would you?"

Yan Lanbing's vision went black.

He finally understood what a huge mistake it was to give Ye Lin the Dean's card just to save himself some trouble.

This was equivalent to placing a peerless beauty in front of Tian Bo-guang; does it even need to be said what would happen?

"Card!"

Yan Lanbing reached out his hand with a dark face.

"Here~"

Ye Lin very obediently returned the card. He understood the principle of knowing when to stop. Fleecing the Great Xia Academy of thirty pieces of Legendary-grade equipment plus hundreds of thousands of Refining Stones was already a massive harvest. Ye Lin had no other merits, but he was certainly not greedy.

"Damn it!"

Yan Lanbing used a single word to draw a period to today's events. He didn't want to say anything more; these two, one big and one small, were both like tough, unyielding meat—the kind that wouldn't absorb oil or salt—and anyone who provoked them would be in for terrible luck.

Fortunately, fortunately he had let Huang Xiaopo keep an eye on them instead of doing it himself, otherwise he might have been angered to death before he could retire.

When Yan Lanbing left, he happened to bump right into Huang Xiaopo, who had come to supervise Shen Jingbin and Ye Lin.

"What's wrong, Dean? Why is your face so ugly?" Huang Xiaopo asked with some confusion.

"It's nothing." Yan Lanbing gripped Huang Xiaopo's hand tightly. "Vice Dean Huang, thank you for your contributions and sacrifices to my Great Xia Academy!"

"Huh?" Huang Xiaopo was baffled.

Yan Lanbing didn't explain further, just gave Huang Xiaopo a look of slight sympathy. What a good Vice Dean... forget it, better the friend dies than the monk.

When Huang Xiaopo walked into the laboratory, confused, she finally understood what the Dean's look meant.

In the laboratory, Shen Jingbin was showing Ye Lin the new skill he had developed.

"Look, Ye Lin, that Extreme Cold Ice Body skill I told you about last time—under your inspiration, I've remade it. This is definitely a brand-new version you've never seen before! This skill can now not only increase your brain cell activity by 300%, but it can also allow you to temporarily discard personal emotions and make the most rational judgments!" Shen Jingbin patted his chest and introduced it proudly.

Upon hearing this, Ye Lin's eyes lit up. Brain cell activity increased by three hundred percent, and it could temporarily block personal emotions?

Wouldn't that mean that by activating this skill, he could directly transform into a battle machine without feelings? And one with maxed-out intelligence at that?

"That's amazing, Professor Shen! This skill is now absolutely a divine skill!" Ye Lin was incredibly excited.

"That's right! That's right!" Shen Jingbin nodded.

"Wait! Professor Shen, what are the side effects of this skill?" Huang Xiaopo instinctively realized something was wrong.

"Uh... the side effect isn't very big, it's just that your body temperature will drop to negative 273. 5 degrees." Professor Shen gave a sheepish smile.

Huang Xiaopo's vision went black, and then she let out a sharp, explosive shriek.

She knew it!

It was a good thing she asked one more question; otherwise, if Shen Jingbin taught this skill to Ye Lin and Ye Lin used it, wouldn't such a good seedling for a Forbidden Spellcaster be gone?

Huang Xiaopo snatched the skill scroll from Ye Lin's hand.

"Shen Jingbin! I'm warning you! If you dare to teach Ye Lin those strange skills of yours again, I will..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Shen Jingbin punched her in the head, and Huang Xiaopo immediately enjoyed a sleep as peaceful as an infant's.

"Little Lei, talking big—if it weren't for my brain not working right, would it be your turn to be Vice Dean? You're even trying to manage me?"

Shen Jingbin took the skill scroll back from Huang Xiaopo's hand and tossed her into the corner of the laboratory.

"Come, Ye Lin, let's continue our discussion!" Shen Jingbin was full of enthusiasm.

"There's nothing left to discuss, Professor Shen. This skill of yours is already invincible! As long as you continue to research the art of immortality, and combine it with these skills, you will be invincible under the heavens!"

Ye Lin didn't spare the praise, while simultaneously swiping the skill scroll from Shen Jingbin's hand.

【Skill: Extreme Cold Ice Body】

【Grade: Unknown】

【Extreme Cold Ice Body: Lowers one's body temperature to -273. 5°, increases brain cell activity by 300%, and temporarily blocks all personal emotions.】

Hmm! It really is a good thing!

Ye Lin's eyes lit up. The skills Professor Shen developed all had one characteristic: they weren't suitable for humans, but they were very suitable for him.

And more importantly, Professor Shen was as productive as a sow! In the time it took him to go to the Crying Soul Secret Realm—just ten days or half a month—Professor Shen had already finished improving the Extreme Cold Ice Body.

Strong, capable of researching skills, protective of his students, and a bit slow in the head—you couldn't find a better mentor even if you searched with a lantern!

After blowing some more rainbow farts at Professor Shen, Ye Lin finally left the laboratory.

By the time he returned to his dormitory, night had already fallen.

After the day's events, he could be considered to have had a full harvest.

Opportunities in a place like the Capital were truly incomparable to Qingcheng.

Moreover, after forming three sets of Legendary-grade equipment, he still had over a dozen pieces left, and he planned to give a few to Ji Lingyu and Duan Ling tomorrow.

Just then, someone knocked on Ye Lin's dormitory door.

"Who is it?"

Ye Lin subconsciously gripped the Imperial Gold Spear. He had just obtained 30 pieces of Legendary-grade equipment today, and there was no guarantee that someone hadn't received the news and wanted to take a risk.

Immediately after, Ye Lin heard a voice from outside the door that was so affected it was practically smoking.

"Open the door, honey, I know you're inside!"
