276. Chapter 276: Really Became a Sweet Pastry

"Yun Ni" returned to the rear camp.

This time, Sandra did not directly announce the disbandment of the micro-legion on the spot.

Instead, she hosted a task summary meeting very formally, telling the performance of each link in this task.

Where did well, which mistakes could be avoided, and which aspects need to be improved.

After commenting on the links, it was the evaluation of each group, and even specific to individuals.

Sandra's wording was fair, objective, direct, sharp, hit the nail on the head, and was very in place.

It lived up to her often self-proclaimed and proud "good eye."

After commenting on everyone, Sandra also made a self-criticism without any avoidance.

She believed that she still lacked combat command experience, especially when encountering the two fleets of the Flame and Metal Trading Company and the White Tower Alliance, she did not make the correct reaction at the first time.

If they wanted to fight, they should have fought back decisively, and if they wanted to retreat, they should have started the jump engine or curvature engine and retreated far away directly.

Instead of retreating for a distance, and changing her mind halfway when she could have retreated smoothly, launching a counterattack.

Even if she wanted to fight back, she should have looked for a section favorable for the "Yun Ni" to play better, such as a star field full of meteorite belts.

In this way, the "Yun Ni" could play the flexible characteristics better by fighting small with big and few with many, without having to hard-top many attacks.

Like the approach she took of turning around directly and rushing up in a wave, it really didn't maximize the role of the "Yun Ni."

The only thing worth praising was letting Lin Ke and Gerald take the water-drop micro-warship, patrolling outside, and attacking when the opportunity arose.

After finishing criticism and self-criticism, Sandra requested every member of the micro-legion to talk about their own views, gains, or lessons, all of which were fine, and speak boldly.

This time, Sandra didn't wait for the members to speak consciously, but directly designated starting from Lin Ke.

Lin Ke was very cooperative, didn't decline, stood up and spoke directly.

His words were equally sharp, first pointing out some omissions that Sandra didn't do well as a legion commander, and then "spraying" the places where others didn't do well enough.

At the end of the speech, Lin Ke also said bluntly that when he launched a surprise attack on the Flame and Metal Trading Company, he made a mistake in the choice of attack method and failed to achieve the maximum result.

With Lin Ke's example, the subsequent speeches of every legion member were very frank and direct.

Not only pointing out the places where others didn't do well in their eyes, but also reflecting on where they didn't do right, why they did so at that time, and how to correct and improve in the future.

In short, this was a united meeting, a victorious meeting.

Whether it was the micro-legion itself or every member of the micro-legion, they all achieved certain gains and made considerable progress.

The meeting finally ended in a thunderous applause.

After the meeting, all members of the micro-legion had a meal at the rear camp to deepen the feelings between each other.

During the period, they were drinking and talking happily, and everyone seemed to forget things like family background, origin, and level.

At least in this banquet, everyone had only one identity, which was a member of Sandra's micro-legion.

After the banquet, Sandra announced that the micro-legion was disbanded on the spot.

The members passed through the portal one after another and went to different destinations.

Just like when they came, there was a difference in the end, and the difference was very big.

Don't worry about when Sandra took the task report written by the research group on the way back to the rear camp by the "Yun Ni" and applied for task completion certification to the Supreme Council.

After Lin Ke and Molly returned to the Academy Headquarters campus, they didn't go anywhere and went straight back to the villa.

This trip was full of rushing, many busyness, and tight mind, both of them were a bit tired.

Coinciding with the afternoon of the Academy Headquarters campus, Lin Ke and Molly washed up and changed clothes slightly, and then took a leisurely nap on the lawn in the backyard, bathing in the warm sunshine.

Relaxing, stealing half a day of leisure in life.

This feeling is still very cool.

The two slept until nightfall, woke up almost at the same time, and then tacitly went about their own business.

One went to make tea, one stared at the smart kitchen to serve food.

Not long after, steaming delicious dishes were placed on the dining table in the restaurant.

All were dishes and snacks that both of them loved to eat.

For the few days of the mission, no one had eaten properly, all relying on magic power to support the consumption of physical functions.

Although not eating will not have any bad effects on the wizard's body, it can help keep the body clean.

However, in life, eating and drinking are the two most important things, not eating or drinking, still will feel psychologically uncomfortable.

Therefore, after the two relieved their fatigue, the first thing was to have a hearty meal to satisfy their taste buds.

Don't talk while eating.

The two finished dinner in a quiet atmosphere and tasted tea leisurely.

After that, they returned to their rooms to rest.

The plain life like flowing water is the real pursuit.

Lin Ke doesn't like killing and fighting.

Hmm.

The next day.

Early in the morning, the two left the villa and went straight to the experimental building of Celine Sage's pharmacy research group.

The course will not start again until three days later.

The two have to take advantage of these three days to catch up on the progress of the research group and do the research and experiments they need to complete for further studies.

Really can only steal half a day of leisure.

Any more, it's slack.

Arriving at the experimental building, before entering the door, Lin Ke and Molly felt that the atmosphere in the experimental building was a bit weird.

"Wait, don't rush in."

Lin Ke felt a familiar breath and immediately pulled Molly.

"What's wrong?"

Even if the atmosphere was weird, Molly didn't take it to heart.

This is the Academy Headquarters, if there can still be any danger, what does Riverside Academy use to become the top force in the Michelle District.

"Just wait."

Lin Ke didn't tell Molly the reason directly, even if he could use "Mind Secret Message Technique" or transmit heart voice through the "God-Eater Insect" ability.

Because after he opened his mouth and pulled Molly, the other person sitting opposite Celine Sage in the experimental building had already locked onto Lin Ke.

As long as Lin Ke dared to say a word that affected his image, he would take action and give "punishment."

Seeing this, Molly didn't ask any more and stopped her steps at the same time.

"Come in."

Celine Sage issued a "summons" at this time, clearly dissatisfied with the actions of the person sitting opposite her.

"Sigh!"

Sighing, Lin Ke pulled Molly's hand and walked into the experimental building.

Didn't go to any laboratory, went straight to the top floor, Celine Sage's office.

Sure enough, the person sitting opposite Celine Sage was exactly Paruo Sage, whom he hadn't seen for two months.

"Is it 'arrogant for a while, chasing wife crematorium'?"

Complaining in his heart, on the surface, Lin Ke greeted the two Sages with Molly.

"Sit, sit by my side."

Celine Sage directly took the posture of a host, and at the same time pointed to the empty seats on both sides of her.

Lin Ke and Molly looked at each other and sat on the left and right sides of Celine Sage very cooperatively.

"Okay, the parties involved have arrived, you can continue to speak."

Celine Sage was very satisfied with the actions of Lin Ke and Molly, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, but said to Paruo Sage in a very hard tone.

Not like facing the sweetheart she had loved for many years, but like facing an ordinary partner.

A trace of bitterness flashed quickly in Paruo Sage's eyes, but he was helpless.

He took advantage of returning to the Academy Headquarters to report on his work, casually made an excuse, and came to find Celine, wanting to have a good chat.

Pulling feelings, restoring the relationship between the two.

Didn't want to make things too stiff.

As a result, Celine Sage first refused to give him a chance to change the subject, grabbed the excuse Paruo Sage made casually—entrusting Celine Sage's pharmacy research group to optimize the "Empowerment" potion project, and talked about the conditions for cooperation on the project.

And then forcibly dragged Lin Ke and Molly in, not giving a chance to be alone.

In other words, Paruo Sage was given the cold shoulder.

Celine Sage refused to easily open her heart to him again! Smiling helplessly, Paruo Sage shook his head bitterly and got up to walk out.

Since she didn't want to chat with him this time, then find another opportunity next time.

A trace of astonishment flashed in Lin Ke's eyes.

This is too straight man!

Can't even do pestering?

Celine Sage felt a bit disappointed.

Just encountered a little setback, and didn't persist, then what about her?

The setbacks she encountered were more than just this little bit!

Not to mention ten thousand times, over the past few decades, hundreds or thousands of times in total.

"What to do?"

Molly actually understood Celine Sage's mood the most, so she was anxious, as if she couldn't care about being perceived by the two Sages, and directly transmitted her heart voice to Lin Ke.

The heart voice transmission of the "God-Eater Insect" is completely different from the derivation based on the contract between Lin Ke and Flandre.

This method still requires the use of mental power.

Therefore, as soon as Molly transmitted her heart voice, the two Sages captured her mental power fluctuation and instinctively deciphered it.

This is equivalent to Molly conspiring loudly with Lin Ke in front of the two Sages.

Lin Ke's mind turned, thought of this layer, and decided to make good use of it.

So, he replied suspiciously: "What to do? Paruo Sage leaves, let him leave. Selinn Wushi didn't ask him to stay. What are we anxious about?"

Molly said anxiously: "But Celine Sage is expecting Paruo Sage to stay, and work harder!"

Lin Ke: "I don't understand these, and I suggest you don't guess randomly, what if you guess wrong?"

Molly: "How can it be a guess? Selinn Wushi acted so decisively, just wanting Paruo Sage to understand the pain of unrequited love, and taste the bitterness of not getting a response! It's not that she really gave up on Paruo Sage. Why can't Paruo Sage persist more?"

Lin Ke: "Uh..."

"You two are enough!"

Celine Sage's face was as cold as frost, and she directly issued an order to evict the guests, "Get out! Don't talk nonsense here, spread rumors and slander!"

So angry that even the wording was a bit imprecise.

Lin Ke and Molly hurried to get up, slipped out of the office from the left and right sides of Paruo Sage.

Outside the door, the two smiled at each other, tacitly.

Inside the office.

After Paruo Sage's body stiffened for a while, he slowly turned around, looking at Celine Sage with a complex expression.

Didn't speak for a long time.

Celine Sage didn't avoid it, even facing Paruo Sage's gaze, and looked at Paruo Sage calmly.

Even if Lin Ke and Molly revealed all her thoughts, so what?

It didn't affect her plan to wear down or test Paruo Sage at all.

"Sigh!"

For a long time, Paruo Sage sighed heavily, moved his steps, and sat opposite Celine Sage again.

His lips opened and closed several times, Paruo Sage hesitated and said: "Celine, it's not that I didn't want to..."

"What you wanted to do at the beginning has nothing to do with me!"

Celine Sage's sentence directly blocked Paruo Sage's words, "What you want to do now has even less to do with me!"

"Between us really..."

Paruo Sage paused and continued to speak, wanting to play the emotional card.

"Nothing! Don't talk nonsense!"

Celine Sage continued to block.

Paruo Sage was immediately numb!

How is this harder than learning witchcraft and fighting demons?

Where is Asande? Come and teach me quickly!

Asande Cornett, who was suddenly remembered by Paruo Sage, had just met Lin Ke and Molly at this moment.

"Have something to find you, is it convenient to chat?"

Asande shook hands with Lin Ke lightly and said so.

"Of course."

Lin Ke nodded, "Go, go to my office."

The three went down the top floor together and came to Lin Ke's exclusive office on the east side of the second floor.

Sat down as host and guest, Molly made a cup of hot tea.

Since Lin Ke developed tea drinks, it has been selling well in Riverside City through the Grande Pharmacy, and through the gift-giving arrangements of Molly.

More and more wizards are used to drinking tea.

Asande is no exception.

He picked up the teacup, first sniffed the tea fragrance lightly, then took a shallow sip, and tasted it carefully.

A moment later, Asande complained: "You guy really kept the best tea leaves for yourself, the ones you sent to us, the ones sold outside, are all inferior goods!"

Lin Ke smiled without saying a word.

Just kidding, among the stars of extraordinary plants, finding one suitable for roasting into tea leaves is as difficult as reaching the sky, okay?

Not to mention those top-notch teas.

The output is really limited.

A top-level "tea tree" that is carefully cultivated and cared for only produces three or five taels a year.

Lin Ke has limited ability and can only plant seven or eight trees for the time being.

Being able to take it out to treat you, you should be happy.

Asande was just joking between friends and didn't really have such complaints.

After tasting the tea carefully, Asande talked about business: "I came to find you this time taking advantage of Paruo Sage's report, there are two things."

"You say."

Lin Ke put down the teacup and listened seriously.

"First, the Clark family wants to reach some cooperation with the Grande Pharmacy, hoping to purchase a batch of specific potions from the Grande Pharmacy every year, the initial cooperation period is tentatively set for ten years."

Just listening, you know, this is the Clark family repaying Lin Ke.

Being trapped in space-time turbulence is not so easy to survive, even if Iris Clark is the special "Outsider" in the prophecy.

Because the matter of being trapped in space-time turbulence itself is very likely a test.

Lin Ke was involved in it, and was confirmed by the Supreme Council that he did participate in Iris Clark's first round of trials and gave great help.

Afterwards, Dean Forrest mentioned in a certain occasion that Lin Ke Grande's "Hummingbird" class warship was destroyed to resist space-time turbulence, and he actually dared to knock on the Academy's bamboo pole to compensate for the loss, which was truly bold.

The Clark family knew then that this was Dean Forrest pointing them out.

The Academy gave Lin Ke Grande compensation, what about you?

Let me see where your actions are?

The Clark family said, we are not as rich as the Academy, magic stones and resources, etc., must be stored more from now on, for the possible needs of Iris Clark.

Then reach a long-term cooperation with the Grande Pharmacy.

"Hmm."

Lin Ke accepted this matter calmly and said, "Specifically, let them dock with the current person in charge of the Grande Pharmacy, Betty, if there is a problem, find Molly, if it really doesn't work, find me."

"Can."

Asande didn't take Lin Ke's attitude as arrogant.

With Lin Ke's current strength, status, being valued by Paruo Sage, Celine Sage, and Cody Sage, as well as Dean Forrest's appreciation.

Not to say equal to the Clark family, at least can cooperate equally.

Pausing slightly, Asande said seriously: "The second thing is my personal private matter, it may be more presumptuous, if it makes you difficult, you can refuse directly, don't worry about my mood."

"What is it?"

Seeing Asande so solemn, Lin Ke also treated it seriously.

Asande pursed his lips, and then said firmly:

"I want to join 'Do Whatever Is Free'!"
