Chapter 148: Professor Sylin and the Shelf Life

Caimon Comprehensive University, Tiered Classroom 108.

If you could have ten times the arcane energy, but the price was to be pursued by an Immortal Snail forever, would you agree? Raise your hand if you would.

This strange question instantly turned the entire classroom into a sea of joy. An Elven Student in the front row could not help but laugh. Raising his hand, he said, Professor, you should ask who wouldnt!

Standing on the podium was an outstanding Elven Professor, with shoulder-length black hair, sapphire-like blue eyes, fair skin, crystal-clear thin lips, a thin face, and a tall figure. He wore a dark gray coat and white gloves on both hands.

In response to the students answer, he showed a light smile at the corner of his mouth, What if its eight times the arcane energy, and the pursuer is a Red Wolf? Hmm, it seems you are not that afraid of the most common predator in the natural forest.

What if its five times the arcane energy, and the pursuer is a juvenile Slashing Fish Dragon?

Now everyone was a bit hesitant the juvenile Slashing Fish Dragon could be considered a Silver Slayer. There was a joke: The first time a Sorcerer faces the Sea of Knowledge, he surrenders; the second time, even with experience, facing a fast, fierce, and passionate Slashing Fish Dragon, he still surrenders.

Of course, since this joke was considered discriminatory against both men and women, you would hardly hear it in reality. Only in the Canopy could you see such a joke with hidden meaning.

But basically, everyone raised their hands, and the Elven Professor nodded, What if its three times the arcane energy, and the pursuer is a standard Blood Mad Hunter?

Half of the people who raised their hands put them down. Blood Mad Hunters were divided into apprentice hunters, official hunters, and hunter captains, corresponding to one-wing, two-wing, and three-wing respectively. Standard Blood Mad Hunters were almost all two-wing level combat Sorcerers. Moreover, two-wing Sorcerers who want to become Blood Mad Hunters need to undergo strict assessment and training. A regular two-wing Sorcerer would almost certainly not be a match for a Blood Mad Hunter.

What if its only an increase of one times the arcane energy, but you are forever pursued by a Titan Executioner-level creature from the Virtual Realm?

Everyone put down their hands, and a displeased student couldnt help but say, Professor, if Im willing, can you give it to me?

Im certainly not that generous. The Elven Professor laughed, But the Virtual Realm can.

The reward is an additional one times the arcane energy, and the price is to be forever pursued by an immortal and powerful creature from the Virtual Realm. This kind of blessing is very common for the Virtual Realm. As long as youre willing to pray to the Virtual Realm, it will genuinely fulfill your wish.

Youve all signed the student loan contract, right? Both parties of the contract pray to the Virtual Realm as a notary, allowing the Virtual Realm to supervise the implementation of the contract. Whoever violates the contract will be sanctioned by the Virtual Realm this is the most common kind of blessing!

A student raised his hand and asked, But almost everyone can sign a contract for any reason. Is the Virtual Realm really that easy to negotiate with?

The Elven Professor laughed, Of course it is, because the ones who need to abide by the contract are you, and the ones who pay the price for breach of contract are also you. In this process, you dont get any extra benefits, but rather need to keep paying. The Virtual Realm is always generous with this kind of blessing that harms others without benefiting itself of course, this is because of the long-term development of the insurance industry. It is said that a long time ago, signing a contract was a very troublesome thing.

But if you dare to ask the Virtual Realm for a blessing that benefits yourself, the Virtual Realm will show a face more ferocious than a bank and teeth greedier than a loan shark. For any Sorcerer who tries to take a shortcut, the Virtual Realm will give the strictest test.

But the reward and test are not fixed mechanisms. If a Sorcerer knows the correct use of the power of the Virtual Realm, he can greatly increase the reward amount and greatly reduce the difficulty of the test.

Praying for, and adjusting blessings, this is the power of the Ritual Faction.

The elven professor surveyed the classroom, To amplify the arcane energy from a reward by ten-fold, to reduce a pursuer from a Titan Executioner to a snail, these are not the ravings of a fool, but real existing Miracles.

Of course, praying for a blessing is not as simple as shouting in the Virtual Realm and immediately receiving a response. Even the Heresy Courts operator system may not provide such a level of service. In fact, the ritual of praying for blessings is very complex. It not only requires various spirits as materials but also tests the sorcerers proficiency in various spell factions. Therefore, its a faction with a lot of prerequisites

Sitting in the back row, Adela was holding her face, her eyes glued to the elf on the podium.

Professor Sylin is really handsome

Huh? Freya looked at Adela in surprise. I thought you would exclaim something like Is there a reward that can increase my luck, and the test is just loss of fertility.

No way, I always listen carefully to Professor Sylins classes! Adela said indignantly. Of course, if there is such a blessing, I wouldnt mind!

At this time, the lecture hall was full of people, not only in the aisles, but even many people were leaning on the windows. Everyone came to listen to Professor Sylins class. Professor Sylin can be said to be one of the most popular professors at Caimon Comprehensive University. His academic achievements, appearance, and teaching skills are all top-notch. Unfortunately, due to his external duties as a councilman, he stopped being a resident professor a few years ago, and only occasionally comes to school to give one or two lectures.

Moreover, the most popular point about Professor Sylin is his class is free! No tuition is required, anyone can audit, and only a fool would miss a free lecture by a two-wing sorcerer like this.

If it werent for Adela helping Freya to secure a spot, she would have to lean on the window to listen to the lecture.

However, sorcerers who can significantly leverage the power of the Virtual Realm are ultimately few. For example, even a legendary four-wing sorcerer would have to do their best to achieve the ten-fold amplification I just mentioned. Therefore, ordinary Ritual Faction sorcerers prefer to pair blessings through conflict.

Suppose I have two blessings now, the first ones price is I can never taste the flavor of food, and the second ones price is I can taste the flavor of everything in my sight, what do you think will happen?

Freya paused: Is Xiao Xian sick?

Yes, it has congenital chondrodysplasia. I noticed it sitting listlessly on the ground this afternoon, so I figured it wasnt feeling well and took it to the Medic. The Medic said if we wanted to alleviate its pain, we essentially would have to get it treated every month.

Freya held the Fold-ear Cat in her arms with a distressed look: Im sorry, Xiao Xian, I didnt know Thank you.

Thats good, I was afraid you might be upset with me.

Why would I be upset with you?

If Xiao Xian hadnt received treatment, it wouldnt know that pain could be dispelled and that being healthy feels so good. It might have a hard time dealing with pain in the future, so youll need to take it for treatment every month.

As Ashe was browsing videos to watch while eating, he said: I was afraid you might think Im causing you trouble.

What trouble?

Isnt it troublesome to take Xiao Xian to the vet every month?

No way! Freya shook her head: How could I find that troublesome? Xiao Xian shouldnt have to suffer like this in the first place. You saved it from its illness, I cant thank you enough.

Ashe glanced at her: Thats good I was actually quite surprised. You dont accept any intimate relationships, but you can devote yourself wholeheartedly and unselfishly to a cat.

Its not the same, Freya grumbled: People arent as cute as cats, and Xiao Xian wont leave me. Its a friend with no expiration date.

Ashe laughed: Do you consider the expiration date when making friends?

Of course! Freya declared confidently: If the expiration date is only a few hours, like a Mud Worker, then you can be polite and act cute like a Bewitcher for a few hours. If the expiration date is a week to a few months, then you can hang out during the holidays to bond, and chat about hobbies at other times. If the expiration date is a few years, then you need to discuss political views as soon as possible to quickly judge whether they are the type for a deep friendship. If theres a fundamental conflict in views, then you need to immediately draw a clear line and only interact for work purposes.

What conditions must be met for you to feel that someones expiration date is a lifetime?

Freya paused, lowered her head, thought for a while, and hesitantly lifted the Fold-ear Cats paw: At least they should be as cute as Xiao Xian, right?

Xiao Xian was gasping for breath in Freyas embrace, and it pushed away the Bewitchers attack with its paw. Freya let it go and asked: Taking Xiao Xian to the vet was the first reason, whats the second?

I was passing by the school, so I just stopped by to see how you teach. Ashe casually commented: Huh? The first episode of Its Weird That I Said I Like Married Women is out? Lets watch this.

I actually wanted to continue watching Tea and Coffee Shop Exploration Freya poked at the Red Flame Fatty Fish Roe Rice Bowl: Whats so interesting about my class?

Theres nothing interesting. Ashe twirled his noodles with a fork: So I left after a glance.

What nonsense. Freya muttered, watching the Screen of Knowledge and eating the Red Flame Fatty Fish Roe Rice Bowl.

But her mind wasnt on the food, nor the video.

For some reason, the strange emotion in her heart was getting stronger, and she even felt a bit happy.

Speaking of which, whats the expiration date of this Cult Leader

She forced herself not to think about it.
