Chapter 135
Those flowers and grasses used to lure the Abyssal Eye Witch were all bought by Big Boss with real gold and silver in the Black Market; half the funds came from magic badge stones obtained in the City of Deception, and half from the Abyssal Eye Witch's close friend Liuli.
By then, she'd better thank her dragon-daughter close friend properly.
Back in the Secret Realm, Big Boss had only tasted the flavor of a Half-Demon; this time, he might just get to taste the flavor of a witch.
In two more days, it will be the moment of blooming and fruiting.
But before that, let the Abyssal Eye Witch tend to the flowers and grasses he planted there a bit more.
With her experience cultivating medicinal herbs, plus her advanced plant magic level, surely she could cultivate those herbs to an even higher level.
By then, he'd bring these plants back to the Black Market to sell.
Calculating it, he wouldn't lose money on the split, and could earn quite a bit.
"Mm, the witch in the Planting Garden is indeed a good witch, capable and capable, the flavor is truly not bad."
He smiled and tidied up the books on the table.
The library of Full Moon Academy should be the largest book repository on Tianming Continent, with many rare materials.
Of course, to read, one needs credits as permission.
And his 69 credits were enough to grant him reading permission equivalent to a fifth-year student.
During these few hours, following his past PC version experience, he learned several useful spells with low consumption.
For example Lightness Technique, Levitation Technique, Strong Light Technique, and so on.
And, in the fourth-year area, he discovered an "abstract" magic he had never seen before.
【Chaos's Wish — Inventor: Chaos Prince】
【18】【Can only be used in conjunction with summoning ritual arrays; through means such as searching, forcibly summon the gender of creatures as female.】
【19】【If the summoned creature's rank has no females, it will filter downward until the first female is found.】
【20】【The longer the filtering time, the more Spiritual Power consumed.】
【21】【Sage Academy evaluation: A spell with no meaning whatsoever; not only does it not increase the summoned creature's strength, it also causes extra consumption.】
【22】【Apart from Lust Worms with heads full of Yellow Waste, I can't imagine what kind of person would invent such magic.】
【23】"This magic... tsk tsk tsk, I think the Sage Academy's evaluation isn't wrong at all." Lilith covered her mouth and chuckled.
【24】"But this comment is really too harsh." Big Boss shook his head: "He just wants all his summoned creatures to be cute girls; what's wrong with that?"
【25】"Uh." Lilith blinked, testingly said: "Big Boss, you wouldn't also want to learn this magic, would you?"
【26】"Why wouldn't I learn it?" Big Boss smiled, his gaze shifting to the term "means such as searching."
【27】He was somewhat interested in the "means such as" part of this passage.
【28】"Hoho, hoho." Lilith covered her forehead, her mouth corner twitching; her intuition told her that some heaven-defying thing was about to happen again.
【29】"By the way, Lilith, the Entrance Exam is over, and my Level Cap has been opened, right?"
【30】"Mm, that's right; now your maximum level can reach Level 30."
【31】Lilith glanced at her Savior's Handbook: "However, although excess Experience Points can be converted into Magic Badge Stones, Magic Badge Stones cannot be converted into Experience Points; if you want to level up quickly, you still need to go grind some monsters."
【32】After saying these words, Lilith blinked.
【33】She realized her way of speaking had already been completely led astray by Big Boss.
【34】It was just like a game system! Going on like this, there was simply no way to correct Big Boss's wrong concepts!
【35】Lilith was feeling sorrowful, but Big Boss yawned: "Forget grinding monsters; since we're in the Academy, I have a faster leveling method."
【36】His gaze fell on the schedule; the afternoon class was "Spirit Servant Summoning Class."
【37】As the name suggests, this class guided students to summon their own Spirit Servants and sign contracts.
【38】It was worth mentioning that the Spirit Servants here did not come from the Abyss, but were many races on Tianming Continent willing to sign contracts with mages.
【39】They lived in the Hall of Heroes, waiting to be summoned.
【40】Similar to the summoning technique in Naruto.
【41】Spirit Servant Summoning tested not only the summoner's ability, but also the compatibility between the Spirit Servant and the summoner.
【42】If a high-level Spirit Servant was summoned, one would immediately gain a large amount of Experience Points; this was a faster leveling method than grinding monsters.
【43】It was also the leveling method Big Boss chose every time he came to Full Moon Academy.
【44】"Every time I summon a Spirit Servant, the Spirit Servants willing to contract with me are different." Big Boss stood up and returned the books to the bookshelf: "I don't know what kind of Spirit Servant will contract with me this time."
【45】"Hope her strength is high enough; otherwise, I'll have to refine her."
【46】Walking out of the library, along the corridor, coming before the Sky Ladder, riding this flying tool like a Flying Carpet, one could move between the Teaching Area and the School Building Area.
【47】Looking at the surrounding scenery that was both strange and familiar, constantly changing, breathing the fresh, fragrant air within Full Moon Academy, Big Boss's mood also improved.
【48】Needless to say, up to now, this playthrough experience could be called the most perfect opening.
【49】"Oh? You're Big Boss, right."
【50】After getting off the moving Flying Carpet, a warm voice came from behind; Big Boss turned his head and saw an old man with white hair, wearing Single-frame Glasses, with a Kind Smile on his face, looking at him.
【51】Information about him immediately flashed in his mind—
【52】Professor Tifeng, Vice Dean of the Sage Academy, not closely related to the Main Quest, an NPC with no appearances after Main Quest Chapter One.
【53】From him one could buy beginner and intermediate Wands; if doing side quests, there were a few mediocre side quests with average rewards.
【54】However, in his background story, there was one special point—he and the late Monarch of the Red Moon Empire, namely Tata's father, were Close Friends.
【55】He was pondering when Professor Tifeng continued speaking:
【56】"Looking at the direction you're heading, you're going to Jie Rui's Spirit Servant Summoning Class, right? Mm, since that's the case, we're on the Same Path; let's go together."
【57】"Okay, Teacher."
【58】Big Boss nodded; considering the previous Arena Mission, he did not refuse Professor Tifeng's invitation to travel together.
【59】Maybe a New Task would be triggered?
【60】As expected, after walking two steps, Professor Tifeng spoke again: "Mm, Big Boss, your performance in the Entrance Exam was truly quite excellent; Three Rounds First; the last time someone appeared who could receive such honor was decades ago."
Can only be used in conjunction with summoning ritual arrays, forcing the summoned creature's gender to be female through search methods and the like.
If there are no females among the creatures of the summoned rank, it will filter downward until the first female is found.
The longer the filtering takes, the more Spiritual Power is consumed.
Sage Academy evaluation: A spell with no meaning whatsoever; not only does it not increase the summoned creature's Dragon's Strength, it also causes extra consumption.
Aside from the Lust Worm with a head full of Yellow Waste, I can't imagine what kind of person would invent such magic.
"This magic... tsk tsk tsk, I think the Sage Academy's evaluation is no problem at all." Lilith covered her Mouth and giggled.
"But this comment is really too harsh." Big Boss shook his head: "He just wants all his summoned creatures to be cute girls; what's wrong with that?"
"Uh." Lilith was stunned, probing: "Big Boss, you wouldn't want to learn this magic, would you?"
"Why wouldn't I learn it?" Big Boss smiled, his Gaze shifting to the term "search methods."
He was somewhat interested in the "and the like" part of this passage.
"Heh, hehe." Lilith covered her Forehead, her Mouth Corner twitching; her intuition told her that some Defying Heaven thing was about to happen again.
"By the way, Lilith, the Entrance Exam is over, and my Level Cap has been opened, right?"
"Mm, that's right; now your maximum level can reach Level 30."
Lilith glanced at her Savior's Handbook: "However, although excess Experience Points can be converted into Magic Badge Stones, Magic Badge Stones cannot be converted into Experience Points; if you want to level up quickly, you still have to go Monster Grinding."
After saying these words, Lilith was stunned for a moment.
She realized her way of speaking had already been completely led astray by Big Boss.
It was just like a game system! If this continued, there was simply no way to correct Big Boss's wrong concepts!
Lilith was feeling Sorrowful, but Big Boss yawned: "Forget Monster Grinding; since we're inside the Academy, I have a faster Leveling Method."
His Gaze turned to the Schedule; the afternoon class was "Spirit Servant Summoning Class."
As the name suggests, this class guides students to summon their own Spirit Servants and sign Contracts.
Worth mentioning is that the Spirit Servants here do not come from the Abyss, but are various races on Tianming Continent willing to sign Contracts with mages.
They live in the Hall of Heroes, waiting to be summoned.
Similar to the summoning technique in Naruto.
Spirit Servant Summoning not only tests the summoner's Ability/Capability, but also tests the Compatibility between the Spirit Servant and the summoner.
If a high-level Spirit Servant is summoned, one will immediately gain a large amount of Experience Points; this is a faster Leveling Method than Monster Grinding.
It is also the Leveling Method Big Boss chooses every time he arrives at Full Moon Academy.
"Every time Spirit Servant Summoning occurs, the Spirit Servants willing to contract with me are different." Big Boss stood up, returning the books to the bookshelf: "I don't know what kind of Spirit Servant will contract with me this time."
"I hope her strength is high enough; otherwise, I'll have to Refine her."
Walking out of the Library, along the corridor, arriving in front of the Sky Ladder, riding this Flying Carpet-like flying tool, one can move between the Teaching Area and the School Building Area.
Watching the strange yet familiar scenery around constantly change, breathing the fresh, fragrant air inside Full Moon Academy, Big Boss's Mood/Emotion also improved.
Speaking of which, up to now, this playthrough's Playthrough Experience can be called the most perfect Opening.
"Oh? You're Big Boss, right."
Getting off the moving Flying Carpet, a warm voice came from behind; Big Boss turned his head, only to see an old man with White Hair, wearing Single-frame Glasses, with a Kind Smile on his face, looking at him.
Information about him immediately flashed in his mind—
Professor Tifeng, Vice Dean of the Sage Academy, not closely related to the Main Quest, an NPC with no scenes after Main Quest Chapter One.
One can buy beginner and intermediate Wands from him; if one wants to do side quests, there are a few mediocre side quests with Rewards.
However, in his Background Story, there is a special Place—he and the late Red Moon Empire Monarch, namely Tata's father, were Close Friends.
He was thinking, when Professor Tifeng continued speaking:
"Looking at the direction you're heading, you're going to Jie Rui's Spirit Servant Summoning Class, right? Well, since that's the case, we're on the Same Path; let's go together."
"Okay, Teacher."
Big Boss nodded; considering the previous Arena Mission, he did not refuse Professor Tifeng's invitation to travel together.
Maybe some New Task would be Triggered?
As expected, after walking two steps, Professor Tifeng spoke again: "Hmm, Big Boss, your performance in the Entrance Exam was really quite good; Three Rounds First; the last time someone appeared who could receive such glory was decades ago."
"Plus the title of History Fixer, these nearly 70 credits are well-deserved."
"Professor flatters me; the student merely did what I should do." Li Cheng smiled brightly.
"No need for such humility. Such an achievement—let alone a student, even an old man like me would envy it." Tifeng shook his head. "70 points is still a bit low, but giving this much is already the limit after the Sage Academy's deliberation."
"Those old guys don't want you to get an especially high score right upon enrollment, lest you neglect your studies and a fine talent ends up in obscurity."
"The student understands." Li Cheng nodded, still maintaining that respectful posture.
"But don't worry, this old man judges people accurately. They have their concerns, I don't, hahaha." Tifeng stroked his beard. "So I want to add your name to the new textbook. Don't worry; after the book is published, you'll get at least 40 credits."
Only then did Li Cheng understand that his authorship credit on the textbook was inseparable from the professor's help before him.
That was 40 credits; adding this score, Li Cheng had enough to graduate.
Although he didn't care whether he graduated or not, it was still a favor after all.
"Then thank you, Professor. I'll make good use of these credits."
"Mm, I believe in you."
As the two talked, they arrived at the department office of the Spirit Servant Summoning Class, and Tifeng stopped his steps.
He looked left and right, an extremely conflicted expression on his face, and after hesitating for several seconds, he patted Li Cheng's shoulder:
"Mm, there's one thing I must tell you."
"Professor, please speak."
"The teacher of this class is Professor Jerryl, yes, the teacher who gave you the wand before." Tifeng chose his words carefully. "You might not know him, but you should know his daughter."
"After all, when you first came to the school, she... gained such a reputation."
"Oh, you mean Gail Miss?" Li Cheng hurriedly stood straight, his voice firm as he said: "Her becoming a Smile Fusion Device has nothing to do with me."
"Fine, fine, fine, keep your voice down." Tifeng hurriedly told him to lower his head: "I don't care whether this has anything to do with you, but Jerryl has decided this matter is related to you."
"He'll try every means to help his daughter get revenge, do you understand?" "You mean he'll make a move on me in this class?" Li Cheng raised his eyebrows.
"Who knows, mm... actually these things, I shouldn't have told you." Tifeng hesitated, then sighed: "Someone in the Sage Academy suspects Jerryl has ties to the Abyss, but it's only suspicion, with no solid evidence."
"Anyway, I'll keep an eye on him for you. But the power of the Abyss is strange and extraordinary; you must be careful yourself."
"Then thank you, Professor." Li Cheng smiled and thanked him.
"Hmph, isn't this our famous top examinee Li Cheng?"
Just then, a cold voice came from behind; Professor Jerryl, dressed in a black robe with both hands in his wide sleeves, walked over.
He had long hair, deep eye sockets, thin lips—at a glance, a sharp and mean appearance.
"Hehe, 69 entrance score, History Fixer. I hope you can maintain such good results in my class, little guy."
After Jerryl finished speaking, without waiting for Li Cheng to reply, he bypassed the two and walked into the classroom.
"Mm... this guy is truly unreasonable... for his own daughter, excluding a genius of Tianming Continent, truly... forget it, anyway, be careful in everything."
Tifeng shook his head, showing a sorrowful expression. Several seconds later, he smiled kindly at Li Cheng again and walked into the classroom.
Watching Jerryl's back view, the smile on Li Cheng's face gradually faded.
In his embrace, the necklace Tata Master gave him was also glowing.
It was an item Tata made from her mother's relic, with the effect of warning.
It was a Causality Artifact of epic grade; as long as the wearer encountered mortal danger, it would sound an alarm.
"Looks like this class isn't an ordinary class for me."
"Mm, want to take leave?" Lilith floated over: "With your style, you'd probably choose to lay low for now, then find a chance to take down Professor Jerryl? How do you plan to do it? Borrow a knife to kill?"
"No, Lilith. The past is the past, and now is now." Li Cheng shook his head. "The me now has a steadier method."
His heart trembled, and he set the save point at this very moment.
With Regeneration Regression, if something life-threatening happened to him in class, he would restart at this moment.
Not only could he restart, but he could also learn Jerryl's plans and figure out exactly what he wanted to do.
Perhaps he could even go with the flow and gain more benefits from it.
To be honest, this ability was simply made for exploring unknown intelligence.
Thinking this, Li Cheng stepped into the department office.
Under the gaze of Professor Jerryl's extremely gloomy eyes, Li Cheng walked to the last row of the classroom.
Sitting there were his two top lieutenants—Mu He and Karenina.
Choosing the Spirit Servant Summoning Class was a decision the three of them made together the night before last.
In the afternoon sunlight, Mu's golden hair sparkled. Perhaps because today was the first day of school, he wasn't wearing Xiu Si Da Er's underwear on his head; his meticulous look of flipping through books actually had a bit of War God Bas's aura—
if one ignored what book he was flipping through.
This heaven-defying thing was actually, under the eyes of everyone, in front of the crowd, flipping through a women's underwear shopping guide magazine, looking while glancing at the classmates beside him, gesturing something above their heads.
"What are you doing?" Li Cheng frowned.
"Big Boss Li Cheng, I've realized." Mu raised his head and smiled confidently. "My previous concepts were too narrow. Wearing underwear on my head doesn't suit me."
"Be honest."
"A few days ago, my old man nearly whipped my butt raw with Seven Matches Wolf, and told me that if I went out wearing underwear on my head again, he'd sever ties with me."
Mu spread his hands: "Although I'm not interested in Bas's empty fame, revitalizing the family is my inescapable duty, so I have to accept my old man's order."
"So you plan to put underwear on other people's heads?"
"Exactly. Three hundred years ago, an ancestor of our family had the title Rose Swordsman. Every time he killed someone, he'd place a rose on that person's chest." Mu smiled confidently, looking around at the classmates with a tiger's gaze. "So I plan to imitate my ancestor and leave a pair of underwear on the head of everyone defeated by me."
Li Cheng: "6"
He sighed, then looked to Karenina Miss on his left. Only to see this little one was holding several human skin masks, drawing on them.
On the table were placed hairs of various colors, and all kinds of clothes.
If those clothes weren't mostly proper mage robes, Li Cheng would really suspect this person had gone to learn from that dragon daughter down below.
"And you? What are you doing?"
"Li Cheng Brother, I've also had a realization." Karenina raised her head, smiling sweetly at the surrounding classmates: "Because my grades were too good in the assessment, my reputation for entrapment has already spread."
"These students actually even printed out my ID photo, saying they want to guard against me, this snake scorpion woman."
"Hateful, to actually call such a cute girl like me a snake scorpion, truly a bunch of bad people!"
"Thus, I came up with this method." Karenina smiled even more sweetly: "As long as my face changes endlessly, then they can't possibly guard against it, right?"
Li Cheng: "6"
Sat down between the two little born, Li Cheng shook his head.
And the atmosphere in the room grew increasingly oppressive.
Originally with the born twins holding the fort, the first-year students were already incomparably fearful.
At this moment, the true Demon King — Full Moon Queen Goddess Snatcher, and Chief Examiner Attacker Li Cheng appeared, they were even more scared, shivering all over, sweating profusely, not daring to breathe.
"Damn it, no one told me it was the same class as those three?"
"Yeah, if I'd known it was those three... I wouldn't have come."
"This Spirit Servant Summoning Class... not taking it is alright!"
"Correct, life is more important..."
"Silence!"
Professor Jerryl, who had been standing in the front row, shouted loudly, stopping several students who wanted to sneak away: "Anyone leaving the classroom now will be treated as absenteeism, deducting all credits for this subject this year."
Hearing this, the first-year students' urge to flee was only slightly halted.
Coldly glancing at Li Cheng twice more, Professor Jerryl then walked to the podium, slowly speaking: "Now, class begins immediately."
"I know, I know, many of you are contacting the concept of Spirit Servant Summoning for the first time."
"Looking at you, it's just like seeing my classmates back then, identical."
Jerryl walked down from the podium, scanning the trembling students, like looking at lambs waiting for slaughter.
"Teacher, do you mean we're as excellent as your classmates?"
Anli weakly raised his hand and asked.
He wanted to ease the classroom atmosphere.
"No, I feel you're just as foolish, weak, not knowing what magic is!" Jerryl flung his robe: "Lady Anli, I didn't permit you to ask, deduct one credit."
Anli was momentarily speechless, face turning deathly pale.
In an instant, the classroom atmosphere grew even more solemn.
"I know, some of you achieved decent results in the entrance assessment, even some who achieved results the Dean never achieved."
Jerryl paced slowly through the classroom, his gaze occasionally glancing toward Li Cheng:
"But this doesn't mean anything."
"Your futures won't be completely fixed just because of one entrance exam."
"If you don't cultivate hard, many of you will die in the Abyss's hands, understand!"
"Un, understand!"
The first-year students hurriedly answered.
And Jerryl also coldly snorted, finally walking back to the podium: "Now, begin class!"
"My course keeps everything simple, theoretical knowledge and high-sounding words I won't say, you probably all know the Spirit Servant Summoning process already."
"Now, come forward, conduct the first Spirit Servant Summoning!"
