"Deng should have hidden some very important knowledge about crystallography."

"Why?"

"Isn't it a secret that doesn't spread?"

After passing through the narrow and curved corridor, Yilin took the black technology crystal power "elevator" and went straight up slowly.

On the way, Yilin thought over and over the conclusion he had figured out, but there were more doubts.

"Is it because... Reputation is not enough?"

Yilin's index finger swiped down and opened the panel.

Since becoming a "trainee engineer", he has been promoted to "intermediate engineer" through various courses and examinations. Yilin's reputation of [College of Engineering] has remained in [friendly (06000)] and has made no progress.

In fact, no progress is normal.

He blew up the lab so many times that it would be good if he didn't lose his reputation.

Soon.

Yilin found the great engineer Deng again.

——Yilin always felt that the full name of a Deng was very awkward, and it was easier for "a Deng".

"I said ah Deng..."

Yilin came straight to the point.

“What?”

Deng originally thought that Yilin came to him and wanted to toss out some moths.

Just wanted to flash, but he didn't have time. He was pitifully caught by Yilin.

But when Yilin said his intention, Deng suddenly widened his eyes.

"You, you, you said you were going to solve the crystal mine crisis?"

Deng's reaction was somewhat unexpected to Yilin.

"You mean I shouldn't go?"

"Ah! No, no, no, go! We must go! Hurry! Go!"

Deng was so excited that he almost cried.

He thought that Yilin thought about how to do damage every day, and had long forgotten the task related to the life and death of the University of engineering.

Yilin's expression was calm and nodded: "then come on, I'll just tell you."

"My dear student," Deng thought of something suddenly and tried carefully, "you... Have no other conditions?"

"Condition?" Yilin was slightly stunned, and then seriously pointed to his face: "my respected mentor, do you think I am such a shameless person?"

Deng hesitated for a long time.

Finally, I didn't say that sentence in my heart.

"My dear student, you must be careful!"

"We must return safely!"

"The College of engineering can't live without you!"

Deng dressed neatly, sent Yilin to the gate of the University of engineering and said goodbye with tears.

By the way, a flag was inserted on Yilin.

Yilin tried to avoid Deng saying more unlucky words and hurriedly dodged.

Before leaving, a Deng, the great engineer, also wanted to say that he personally drove Yilin to his destination.

But as soon as Deng said this, Yilin walked faster. This made Deng pestle at the gate of the University of engineering, with a confused face.

When did the student become so respectful of the "old" driver?

"Ah, that's nice."

Deng suddenly felt that his earnest teachings had yielded results, and he took an arrogant step in the college path and returned to the big project tower.

……

Yilin left the College of engineering and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Deng has self-knowledge.

This "important branch task" is already a SS level difficult task.

If Deng is allowed to drive, the difficulty will soar to SSS level, which is less.

Yilin stood for a while not far from the College of engineering.

Wang Tiandi followed up with his little tail.

Before starting, Yilin sent a message to Wang Tiandi, and the dog really caught up.

Eh?

Yilin suddenly found that the dog's smile was very loud and arrogant.

Take a closer look.

There was a red lipstick on Gouzi's face.

Yilin instantly understood what the dog was busy with these days.

"Do you remember the big female wolf in the moonlight forest beside Labu town?"

Yilin sighed softly.

In an instant, Wang Tiandi's sad smile froze on the dog's face.

Yilin, a man and a dog, walked on the busy street.

As far as he can see, the whole city seems to belong to the scope of the "big engineering college".

Almost everyone has the title of "engineer" on their heads.

In the city, there are many tall buildings.

Air routes crisscross, flying boards shuttle quickly and orderly.

There are many strange instruments in the street.

Like what vending machines, real-life massage machines, red, green, yellow, blue, orange and purple street lights, navigation routes in the sky

This is a strange city.

But it made Yilin unable to feel against peace.

If you ignore the light of those crystals and all kinds of "circuits" applied to life, this place seems to be a modern metropolis.

When Yilin walked inside, he suddenly had the illusion of returning to the "real" world.

Although Yilin has no memory of "reality", he feels that he should not make mistakes.

"The painting style of this game is getting more and more strange."

Yilin suddenly wondered what strange and magnificent customs were on the back of other giant beasts.

Want to come, if not trapped in this game world, I can't get out and travel around. It's very interesting to look at the scenes on the backs of different giant beasts.

"This game is really interesting."

Yilin quickened his pace, but couldn't help laughing.

With the title of [intermediate engineer], Yilin enjoys all kinds of admiring eyes projected from around.

Intermediate engineer with high authority in the city.

All the major stores offer a 20% discount.

But Yilin has always been used to white whoring. Naturally, he can't see this discount.

However, in order to avoid losing the reputation of the [friendly] College of engineers, Yilin honestly spent gold coins and purchased a batch of daily necessities.

Speaking of it, the bonus attribute of this [intermediate senior engineer suit] is a little strange.

[hand speed + 3%]

[hand speed + 5%]

[hand speed + 7%]

Good engineer's robe, what "hand speed"?

Yilin was speechless about the attributes of this set of equipment.

But the strange attribute of "hand speed" is not useless.

At least, the speed of Yilin's depiction of lines is much faster after wearing this set of equipment.

an hour later.

Yilin went out of the city.

Yilin held up the map bought from the grocery store, memorizing and looking at the route marked on the map.

The map sold by Aurora store is much more detailed than the map sold on the "giant beast Gaia". At least, there are fewer fog areas on the map.

"Along the northwest, through the sad path and through the fog mountains, you can reach the 'abandoned crystal mine'."

"Hmm? The location of the fog mountain has been marked‘ ×’? What does it mean? Treasure? It's not so blatantly marked on a 100g map, is it? "

Soon after, Yilin arrived at the sad path with Wang Tiandi with doubts and expectations.

The University of engineering is surrounded by lush vegetation.

But after coming to the sad path, the land turned gray. There were many gray prismatic barbs on the roadside, not even a weed, and there was a sense of desolation and dilapidation everywhere.

The dead branches with dead leaves scattered on both sides of the path. From a distance, it looks like a ferocious tree monster. If it weren't for the fame and rank on these dead trees, it would be as strange as the shape of "war damage style" horticultural design. Yilin might stab them and try again.

The gray prism beside the road attracted Yilin's attention. In fact, the road is covered with this thing. It's really hard not to pay attention.

Yilin went to the side of the path, squatted down and looked at the gray prism barbs growing from the soil.

These barbs are very much like a grassland, but the surface of barbs is angular and dull, which is clearly a solid substance.

"Wait, is this crystal?"

After Yilin looked carefully, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"No..."

Yilin soon shook his head.

These crystal like barbs can't feel any "crystal" energy at all.

Yilin is also a serious engineer now. He can distinguish this difference easily.

"This is, dried up crystal."

Yilin casually touched the question mark divine sword, pinched it into a double dagger and gently knocked on the gray barb.

The knocking force is not strong.

"Su Su..."

The grey barb poked by Yilin turned into powder on the ground in an instant.

Yilin stood up silently and walked forward.

There was a dead silence around.

"Giggle, giggle -"

In the deep of the path, the strange cry of demons broke the silence.

"Kaka, Kaka..."

With each step, Yilin crushed many gray barbs, leaving a gray powder on the ground behind him.

Here, it's like a dead land.

No anger.

Yilin raised his head.

Even the always clear sky seemed to be covered with a gray haze without the slightest cloud.

As far as Irene could see, the scenery in front of her and the world around her seemed to be crying silently, like a mime with extreme sadness, without a line. But the atmosphere was enough to make people feel depressed and sad involuntarily.

"So this is the sad path."

Yilin suddenly understood the land and the origin of the name.

Walking a distance.

Not far away from Yilin, the little monster in the leveling area finally appeared.

[bouncing monster]

【LV39】

Lv39's children are still within the acceptable range of Yilin.

Yilin spent more than a month in the College of engineers to learn scientific knowledge. Because she completed the current goal of the main task, she was promoted to lv36. There is a certain gap with the demons in this leveling area.

But this gap should be nothing for Yilin.

He is a man who will be mistaken by his teammates for hanging up every minute once he tries his best.

It's a demon named [bouncing monster]. It looks Q cute, round and dark. On the sphere, there are two smart eyes, an exaggerated smiling face and a cartoon painting style.

Anyway, the style of this game is strange and unpredictable. Yi Lin looks at it and becomes accustomed to it. He is too lazy to make complaints about it.

Before entering the battle, Yilin released Nie Hongxiu and Bai Xiaoyi to breathe.

"Oh? Your skin looks very healthy today!"

Incidentally, Yilin changed another way and took time to brush the "fetter value" of a wave of divine sword.

Bai Xiaoyi snorted and said, "nonsense."

Nie Hongxiu started with white hair and bare feet, floating in the void, with a cold expression. It seems, as if, not happy at all.

[magic sword 'Bai Xiaoyi' fetter value + 2.]

[magic sword 'Nie Hongxiu' fetter value + 3.]

Woman, your name is "honest mouth".

Yilin had already grasped the knack of brushing "fetter value" and smiled without saying anything.

The evil spirit of Gouzi smiled and took out the brand-new fighting claws. On the equipment, he sharpened his claws and was about to attack.

Yilin is faster than the dog.

His body moved, turned into a shadow, and quietly came to the back of the bouncing monster.

[go hand in hand]!

[shadow kill]!

[poisoned dagger]!

[two knife flow]!

[concentrate]!

[highly toxic assassination]!

Breathing!

Break the shadow!

Before he didn't know the characteristics of the bouncing monster, Yilin didn't plan to keep his hand. After all, he also jumped over the level to kill the monster. It's better to be safe. Therefore, Yilin directly chose the most complete continuous move, eight consecutive moves turned into one move and launched an attack.

Eh?

When Yilin approached the back of the bouncing monster, he found that the shape of the Q Meng monster was familiar and unique.

On the forehead, there is a thick hair. When Yilin approached, he found that the black and slightly curled hair was very conspicuous.

Yilin's moves are very skilled.

Skilled enough to almost form muscle memory.

Before Yilin had time to think about why there was a curly hair on the skull of the demon, the tempered knife suddenly pierced the back heart of the bouncing monster.

【-684】。

A three digit number suddenly bounced above the bouncing monster's forehead.

Originally, this is a favorite thing.

Until

Hiss, hiss——

The curly Q hair on the monster's forehead quickly caught fire and burned.

"Sleeping trough! This is... Bomb!!!"

Boom——

Far away.

The heat wave of the explosion blew all the dog hair that Wang Tiandi had just smoothed out behind his head.

Wang Tiandi stared at the big dog.

In the heat wave, the dog's hair was messy and the dog's face was confused.
