265. Chapter 265: Honey Date?

"What do you want me to help you with?"

Lin Ke suppressed his slight worry about the future and turned to ask Molly.

"I want you to help me get a Zerg Mother Nest."

Molly said with a firm tone, "Whether I want to or not, I have already switched to being a Beast-Taming Wizard. Moreover, my companion spirit beast is the 'God-Eater Insect,' which, in the Zerg, has a rank second only to the royal family. If I have a Mother Nest, my strength in all aspects will be greatly enhanced, and I will be able to..."

Speaking of this, Molly stopped and didn't continue.

But Lin Ke understood what Molly meant.

She would be able to not only not hold Lin Ke back but also provide very great help.

In this way, no matter where Lin Ke went, Molly could accompany him.

Instead of being semi-forcibly required to stay in the native world to handle logistics like Wizard Celine.

Wizard Celine's current choices, decisions, and life were not what Molly wanted.

"This needs to be discussed in the long term."

Lin Ke didn't decline and agreed directly, but didn't rashly cut into the execution stage.

"Of course."

Molly nodded.

She had heard Lin Ke say that Sandra Diomand, as the great-granddaughter of two Great Sages, had to go out and execute missions herself if she wanted to get a Mother Nest.

It could be seen how much the Northern Beast-Taming Wizards valued strategic-level materials like Zerg Mother Nests that could significantly improve the strength of Beast-Taming Wizards.

Perhaps there were many inside stories behind the fact that the exploration mission related to that Zerg world could fall into the hands of the Rivose Academy.

"Hmm... I will meet with Wizard Celine in a while, then go to see the Dean, and after that, I will apply to go to the Academy Headquarters for advanced studies."

Lin Ke stated his arrangements for the next period of time and gave an arrangement, "You officially hand over 'Do Whatever Is Free' to Lynn to manage, the Grande Potion Shop to Betty, and let others do their own things, then come with me to the Academy Headquarters for advanced studies."

"Good."

Molly didn't even think about it and accepted Lin Ke's arrangement directly.

Then she got up and walked out.

Walking to the door of the dining room, remembering something Lin Ke might not know yet, she reminded him: "Wizard Celine has already promoted to a Sage."

"Is that so?"

Hearing this, Lin Ke was quite surprised.

Before he was unexpectedly attacked, he couldn't see any signs of this at all.

He didn't expect that in just over three months, such a big change had occurred.

And he finally understood why Wizard Celine was throwing a tantrum at Paro Sage; it really wasn't without reason.

Watching Molly leave the lakeside villa to go busy herself with the handover.

Lin Ke contacted Wizard Celine through the butler Hamid—no, now he should call her Sage Celine.

The video communication was connected quickly.

"Lin Ke? Anything you need?"

Sage Celine's figure appeared on the screen, leisurely sunbathing and drinking afternoon tea.

"Could I trouble you to come here for a trip? I have something very important to find you for, but I'm not convenient to leave the academy right now."

Lin Ke politely made the request.

"Paro asked you to find me?"

Sage Celine put down her teacup, a trace of a smile flashing in her eyes.

"Yes, he entrusted me to bring you something."

Lin Ke was very honest, didn't deceive her, and then said, "I also have something myself that needs your advice."

"Good, wait for me, I'll be there soon."

Sage Celine agreed to Lin Ke's request, hung up the communication, and got up to set off.

Before long, Sage Celine walked into Lin Ke's lakeside villa and said directly: "Take it out, let me see what Paro wants to send me."

Lin Ke immediately took out the long box from the "Small World," made an excuse to prepare tea snacks, and cleared out space.

"You still remember."

Sage Celine looked at the long box and knew what was inside without opening it.

A thick look of reminiscence appeared on her face, and her mood was quite complicated.

With a click, she opened the box.

Revealing a glass bottle that had already been emptied of potion.

This was the first perfect-level potion Sage Celine had successfully refined back then, which she had given to Paro Sage as a memento.

Later, during an accident, this potion gave Paro Sage very great help.

Paro Sage had kept the empty potion bottle ever since.

"What's the use of sending me this?"

Sage Celine closed the box, gripped the long box tightly with her palm, and sighed gloomily, "You yourself won't come over."

After sighing, Sage Celine carefully put away the long box and adjusted her state.

The past is gone; let the past be the past.

Unless Paro Sage came forward in person and went through "trials," Sage Celine wouldn't easily change her mind.

She had made up her mind to let Paro Sage taste the bitterness of not getting a response.

"Come in."

Sage Celine didn't look back and greeted Lin Ke, who was ostensibly leaving her private space but actually secretly waiting to eat melons.

"Hehehe..."

Lin Ke smiled shamelessly; being discovered didn't make him feel embarrassed.

"Speak, what else is there?"

Sage Celine couldn't be bothered to haggle with this little guy who always had many tricks up his sleeve, "If you don't speak, I'm leaving."

Lin Ke then restrained his expression and asked seriously: "I plan to take Molly with me to the Academy Headquarters for advanced studies; is there anything I need to pay attention to?"

"You and Molly have both promoted?"

Sage Celine was actually not very surprised, just habitually confirming it.

"Hmm."

Lin Ke affirmed it.

"Anything to pay attention to?"

Sage Celine pondered for a while before saying, "The only thing you need to pay attention to is to focus on your studies and don't get involved in the internal strife of those big family children."

"Understood, thank you Sage Celine."

Lin Ke was thoughtful upon hearing this and thanked her solemnly.

"Still call me Wizard Celine; it sounds more pleasant."

Sage Celine got up and left, saying so faintly before she left.

"Good, Wizard Celine."

Lin Ke followed her lead and sent Sage Celine to the door.

After Sage Celine drove the suspension car away, Lin Ke also drove his spare vehicle toward the Advanced Academy Administrative Building.

Paro Sage had reserved Dean Forrest for him; he couldn't delay any longer.

Top floor, Dean's Office.

"Hello, Dean."

Before sitting down, Lin Ke greeted him.

"Hmm."

Dean Forrest looked at Lin Ke, responded absent-mindedly, and asked out of the blue, "Do you still have a barrier against the academy now?"

Lin Ke pursed his lips and decided to answer frankly: "Partially yes, partially no."

"Which part has it, which part doesn't?"

Dean Forrest pressed.

"The part where I was inexplicably arranged has it; the others don't."

Lin Ke continued to answer frankly.

"Hmm."

Dean Forrest didn't comment on Lin Ke's statement and turned to say, "Paro told me you want to go to the Academy Headquarters for advanced studies to avoid the storm?"

"Yes."

Lin Ke explained, "Even without this matter, I have already met the conditions for advanced studies."

"That is indeed true."

Dean Forrest opened a drawer, took out two number plates of different styles, placed them on the table, pushed them to Lin Ke, and said, "One is used to unseal a villa, and one is used to unseal a laboratory; consider it a promotion gift from me to you."

"Thank you, Dean."

The big boss of his own faction was giving a gift; what was there to hesitate about? Accept it quickly.

Lin Ke put away the two number plates and, not satisfied, took the opportunity to say: "Dean, my vehicle and interstellar warship were completely written off, and they were both related to the academy; does the academy have any compensation?"

"Slippery!"

Dean Forrest glared at Lin Ke forcefully.

Whether intentionally or not, a trace of pressure leaked out, stinging Lin Ke's eyes until they were sore and he shed tears.

Perhaps this could also be considered a small punishment from Dean Forrest for Lin Ke's blatant probing to his face.

What was Lin Ke probing? Lin Ke was probing whether the academy allowed him to launch revenge against the Lucia family.

If they can come, I can go.

In Lin Ke's view, there was no reason to be beaten without fighting back.

Even on the surface, the Lucia family had already been dealt with by the academy.

However, stationed at the rear camp in the Barren World was still the mixed legion of the Lucia family!

Today, when returning to the native world through the portal, Lin Ke even saw the Lucia family's crest and military flag.

Dean Forrest could sit firmly in the position of Dean of both academies, constantly transporting talent, and occupy the upper hand in games with various wizard organizations; how could he not hear the subtext Lin Ke didn't bother to cover up?

It was just that, apart from a small punishment, he didn't pursue it.

Thinking about it, he felt that the little guy had indeed suffered a big loss and had made great contributions one after another.

Dean Forrest opened the drawer again and took out five items, placing them one by one in front of Lin Ke.

"There really is?"

Lin Ke had already overcome the discomfort, "cleaned himself up," tidied away the embarrassed tear stains, and seeing good things, wanted to reach out and grab them.

As a result, just as he made a move, his whole person was frozen.

In front of a top-tier Level 6 Great Sage, Lin Ke's strength, let alone just being comparable to a Level 3 Wizard, was useless even if he were comparable to a Level 5 Great Sage.

Fully prepared, Dean Forrest killing a Level 6 Rock Demon and a Level 5 Flame Demon was also just a matter of a finger.

If he really wanted to deal with Lin Ke, he could kill him by blowing a breath.

"Don't rush."

A smile appeared on Dean Forrest's face, and he said, "Pick three out of five; go ahead."

As the voice fell, Lin Ke was unsealed and could move freely.

An expression like constipation appeared abruptly on Lin Ke's face.

The five items placed on the table each stabbed Lin Ke's heart fiercely.

The first item was a replica of the "Phantom Coupe," almost exactly the same.

The second item was a "Lark"-class interstellar warship, one level higher than the "Hummingbird" class, also characterized by fast speed and flexibility.

The most special place was that it was equipped with a micro "curvature engine," which could perform short-distance "curvature travel"!

The third item was a large-caliber Annihilation Cannon, two grades stronger than the small-caliber Annihilation Cannon sent by Wizard Cody.

Poor Wizard Cody's good intentions, not a single shot fired, directly gone.

The fourth item was a World Core of a depleted world that the "Small World" coveted, three grades higher than the one sent by Paro Sage.

The lightning strike of the ball lightning allowed the "Small World" to complete its fourth evolution at the rule level, which was "bloated."

It still needed to supplement some high-level energy and matter.

The depleted World Core was the first choice.

The fifth item was a Zerg Mother Nest!

Although it was only a Mother Nest seed, it needed to be invested with a large amount of resources, just like when Lin Ke cultivated the "seed" back then.

However, it perfectly matched Molly's needs.

Obviously, Molly practicing the two major traits shared with her by the "God-Eater Insect" cub in the Advanced Academy without restraint, as well as other abilities gradually awakening, had already attracted Dean Forrest's attention.

Or, Dean Forrest had already known about the "God-Eater Insect" through his continuous attention to Sage Rosenthal.

A Level 6 Great Sage who claimed to sit and wait for death but liked to find fun, staying under Dean Forrest's nose, of course, had to be paid more attention.

Hmm...

Lin Ke, who was distressed about how to choose, didn't know these possibilities.

After picking for a long while, his eyes were dazzled, and he still hadn't made a decision.

It was really that he wanted every one of them, and every one of them had great use!

"Dean, you are doing this on purpose, right?"

Lin Ke reacted, his face bitter as he issued an accusation, "Didn't I just play a little trick?"

Sometimes, acting cute appropriately can narrow the relationship and distance with the big boss.

This depends on the person, the time, and the degree of closeness; it cannot be generalized.

The wonder of application lies in the heart.

"That's right."

Dean Forrest laughed, "So I'm also playing a little trick now."

"You are doing it on purpose!"

Hearing this, Lin Ke issued an accusation again.

But his hands weren't idle, nimbly grabbing the "Lark"-class interstellar warship, the depleted World Core, and the Zerg Mother Nest seed.

Then he looked at the "Phantom Coupe" and the large-caliber Annihilation Cannon with reluctance.

After looking for a long while, he put on a pitiful look again and looked at Dean Forrest.

As if to say, give me one more, give me one more.

Unfortunately, Dean Forrest had extremely strong principles and put the remaining two items back into the drawer.

Seeing this, Lin Ke immediately put away his acting-cute state and said seriously: "Dean, look, when should Molly Kidman and I go to the Academy Headquarters to report?"

"You call your little girlfriend over, and we'll go right now."

Dean Forrest's mood today was obviously very good, actually teasing Lin Ke.

It seems that the matter of Lin Ke Grand having a little girlfriend named Molly Kidman had already spread.

And he didn't know which busybody spread it.

Molly, who received the notification sent by Lin Ke through the office smart brain in the Dean's office and rushed to the Dean's office, if she knew Lin Ke's doubts, she would probably grin.

Soon, Molly Kidman knocked on the door of the Dean's office.

"Let's go."

Dean Forrest got up, and it wasn't seen how he moved; only a flash of light was seen, and the figures of the three disappeared from the Dean's office.

When Lin Ke and Molly adapted to the sudden change of space displacement, they found that they had arrived in front of a cross-boundary portal.

This cross-boundary portal stood in a domed hall, the size of an ordinary room door.

Dean Forrest walked into the portal first, and Lin Ke and Molly followed quickly.

The familiar feeling of space-time extraction occurred.

This time, the transmission process was exceptionally long, seemingly passing through several relays.

It took about 4 to 5 times longer than the previous use of the portal.

It was really that being in the transmission process, one couldn't accurately grasp the passage of time.

Once again stabilizing their minds and physical states, Lin Ke and Molly found that they had arrived in a garden where a hundred flowers were in bloom and it was colorful.

Not far in front of them was a clear and pure lake.

A pavilion was suspended above the center of the lake.

In the pavilion, a man and a woman sat opposite each other, both with youthful and beautiful appearances.

However, after just one glance, Lin Ke and Molly didn't dare to look again.

Both of their current intuition and precognition abilities were very powerful, not differing much.

At the same time, they had a premonition that if they looked one more time, there might be a disaster.

Even now, they were sweating coldly, feeling that two guillotines were pressed against their necks, ready to die at any time.

"Alright, don't scare the kids."

Sosi Great Sage glared at Ruivo Great Sage, who had deliberately released a little bit of pressure, "How old are you, still haggling with ten-year-old kids like this. Isn't it just that your great-granddaughter suffered a little loss, and it was because her own vision wasn't enough; does that count as anything?"

"Hmph."

Ruivo Great Sage raised his eyebrows and replied, "I just can't stand seeing my great-granddaughter suffer a loss, is that not allowed?"

Sosi Great Sage couldn't be bothered to pay attention to Ruivo Great Sage, who didn't know why he was acting spoiled again, dipped his fingers in some clean tea water, and flicked it toward Lin Ke and Molly, who were sweating all over from fright.

The tea water sprinkled on Lin Ke and Molly, like sweet dew from heaven, instantly moistened the minds of the two.

Helping the two walk out of their panic and return to normal.

"Forrest, take them to settle down."

Sosi Great Sage ordered, "Since you've come for advanced studies, study well. Those storms outside cannot enter here."

Pausing, Sosi Great Sage also pointed out: "Having too high an inspiration is not a good thing; during your advanced studies, learn how to control it, so as not to be easily manipulated by others like today."

"Still not thanking Sosi Great Sage?"

Dean Forrest gave a reminder from the side.

"Thank you, Sosi Great Sage."

Lin Ke and Molly reacted and thanked him together.

Afterward, Dean Forrest took Lin Ke and Molly to go through the formal procedures for advanced studies.

In less than ten minutes, everything was handled.

"Study well; in two years, I will come to pick you up."

Dean Forrest left a reminder and left neatly.

Lin Ke and Molly took the newly reissued Academy Headquarters dedicated portable smart brain and, according to the map, found the villa gifted by Dean Forrest.

Used the number plate to unseal, entered the villa, sat down, and were silent.

The two looked at each other without words.

The feeling of having life and death completely controlled by others...

It's really uncomfortable! ===== CHAPTER 260 =====
