Martial Mythology Chapter 11

   Chapter 11 The Abandoned Son of the Lin Family

   "Okay, that's it for the first class. Come over tomorrow." Zhang Yu raised his air and put on a cold look, lest Wu Chen continue to entangle.

   At this moment, the unique mechanical and electronic sound of the system resounded in Zhang Yu's mind again.

   "The system detected that the number of students in the Cangqiong Academy is less than ten, and the task is now released."

  【Main Mission 4: Expand the number of students, so that the number of students in the Sky Academy reaches ten】

  【A great college should have a corresponding scale. How could the mere three students satisfy the rising sky college? The host must recruit more students and expand the influence of the academy. The greater the influence of the academy, the influence of the dean will also increase.]

  【Quest Reward: Contract in the Sky】

  【Task time limit: 72 hours】

  【Mission Failure: No Punishment】

   "This task is not difficult, and the time is relatively sufficient." Zhang Yu is no longer Wuxia Amon, and he is very confident in completing this task, "I just don't know what this 'Sky Contract' is..."

The system explained in a rare way: "The Cang Qiong Contract is a special registration form. All students who sign the contract will be loyal to Cang Qiong Academy for life. I will maintain my loyalty to the students of the sky."

   Zhang Yu's eyes widened when he heard this: "So amazing!"

   The students who signed the contract will be loyal to the Sky Academy for life?

   "Good stuff!" Zhang Yu couldn't wait, "I must get this thing, immediately, immediately!"

   Looking at Zhang Yu, whose expression was changing, Wu Chen felt a little worried, and asked cautiously, "Dean, then, are we leaving?"

Zhang Yu came back to his senses, his eyes swept over Wu Chen, his eyes suddenly lit up, his eyes rolled, and a gentle smile appeared on his face: "Wu Chen, Wu Patriarch! Do you think that the students of our academy too little?"

   "President, if you have any orders, just say it directly." In front of Zhang Yu, Wu Chen did not dare to call himself the Wu Patriarch.

"Okay, I'll just say it straight. Cang Qiong Academy needs more students, but as the dean, it's not convenient for me to appear in person, so... I have to trouble you." Zhang Yu smiled and stared at Wu Chen, "You are Wu Clan head, who knows more people than me and has more influence than me, just a few words should be able to recruit a lot of students for Cang Qiong Academy."

   "This..." To be honest, Wu Chen wanted to refuse.

   For him, the Sky Academy is a huge cake, and naturally he doesn't want others to share it.

   But he also knew that he couldn't stop this kind of thing. Even if he refused, Zhang Yu would still have a way to recruit students through other channels.

   Instead of this, it is better to take this matter down by yourself, not only to please Zhang Yu, but also to take the initiative.

   Countless thoughts went through his mind, and Wu Chen finally nodded his head: "Since the dean trusts me, then leave this matter to me!"

   "Don't worry, I have another request, that is... seven students must be recruited within two days." Zhang Yu said slowly.

Eggs can't be put in one basket, Zhang Yu can't put all his hopes on Wu Chen. The system requires three days, so he asks for two, and sets aside one day. Even if this old boy is behind his back, he can at least have a maneuver. 's room.

   In the afternoon, Zhang Yu left Wu Mo alone to teach him the technique of alchemy.

   Wumo has never been in contact with alchemy, so for the first time he heard Zhang Yu say that he has a talent for alchemy, and it seems a little incredible: "I have a talent for alchemy?"

  Alchemist, a profession with a high status, and now, do you have any hope of becoming an alchemist?

  The huge surprise made Wumo's mind a little confused.

Seeing Wu Mo's excited face, Zhang Yu couldn't help sighing secretly: "After all, the deserted city is still too small and remote, if Wu Mo was born in the Zhou Dynasty's imperial capital 'Xiandan City', such a talent for alchemy would probably have been born early. It was discovered." The deserted city was only the borderland of the Zhou Dynasty, and few strong men came, let alone the number of alchemists as rare as giant pandas.

  Recovered, Zhang Yu explained the basic knowledge of alchemy to Wumo, and then started alchemy, letting Wumo watch from the sidelines.

   "The system has detected that the host is teaching alchemy, and the task is now released."

  [Main quest five: train a one-star alchemist]

  【A great academy should tap the potential of students, train students in the most correct direction, so that every student can maximize their own strengths]

  【Quest Reward: Two-Star Alchemy】

  【Task time limit: one month】

  【Mission Failure: No Punishment】

   Zhang Yu heard the system's voice, but he didn't get distracted. When concocting alchemy, he had to concentrate.

   Wumo looked at Zhang Yu, who was focusing on alchemy, and was shocked: "The dean turned out to be an alchemist!"

  Alchemist, even if it is the lowest one-star alchemist, has a transcendent status!

The Lin family, one of the second-rate families in Huangcheng, although it is not comparable to the five top forces of Wujia, City Lord Mansion, Golden Eagle Sect, Chenguang Academy, and Yunshan Academy, it is still not to be underestimated. Moreover, he is so close to Wu Chen, the head of the Wu family, that top forces such as the City Lord's Mansion and Chenguang Academy will not easily provoke the Lin family.

  There is a bamboo forest in the backyard of Linfu, and there is a small lake beside the bamboo forest.

   At this time, a boy of about sixteen years old was sitting on the shore of the lake fishing, with a hint of self-deprecation on the corner of his green mouth.

"In another month, I will be sixteen years old." The young man raised his head and looked up at the sky, with a deep sense of melancholy and unwillingness in his eyes, "As soon as I turn sixteen, I will be sent to East Street. , be a... shopkeeper!"

The    boy clenched his fists hard, and his fingers were faintly blue because of too much force: "Treasurer! Haha... Really, I'm not reconciled!"

   For ordinary people, being able to get a job as a shopkeeper in this life is worth a big celebration, but for a teenager, who has seen the magnificent sky, how can he be willing to be a small shopkeeper?

The word    shopkeeper... For any Lin family member, it is a great irony.

  The Lin family has been operating in the barren city for hundreds of years. It has already spread its branches and leaves. The people are prosperous and the background is extremely rich. However, within the Lin family, only those whose talent is extremely poor and completely abandoned by the family will be sent to the shop to be the shopkeeper.

   It can be said that the shopkeeper of every Lin family shop is a marginal person far from the core of the Lin family.

  The boy is not the first to be sent to be the shopkeeper, nor will he be the last.

   "One month, I can still enjoy the last month of leisure." The young man was silent for a long time, sighed long, but there was a melancholy on his tender face that should not be seen at this age.

   At this moment, a mocking voice came from behind the boy: "Why, our shopkeeper Lin Ming is thinking about life again?"

  Lin Ming didn't look back, just by hearing this familiar voice, he knew who it was.

   "If you have something to say, hurry up and let your fart go." Lin Ming said lightly, holding the fishing rod in his hand.

"What are you pulling? A waste who hasn't set foot in the first level of Kaixuan Realm after cultivating for four years, what qualifications does he have to show up in front of me?" Lin Sen snorted coldly, and then sneered again, "Oh, I was wrong, Lin Ming The shopkeeper is the big shopkeeper in the future, I should find a way to please you now, maybe in the future when I go to the store to buy something, you can still give me a discount."

Lin Ming threw down the fishing rod, stood up, looked directly at Lin Sen, and said calmly, "Since you say I'm a waste, is it interesting to show superiority on a waste?" He had heard similar sarcasm before. Countless times, it was almost impossible to set off waves in his heart.

   Feeling Lin Ming's indifferent reaction, Lin Sen also lost interest and pouted, "Okay, I'm too lazy to tell you more, the patriarch told you to go to the council hall immediately."

   "Parliament Hall?" Lin Ming frowned, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, "Isn't there a month left? Why let me go now?"

  Lin Sen shrugged: "How do I know? Maybe it's to let you experience what it's like to be a shopkeeper in advance!"

  's ears automatically filtered out Lin Sen's stimulating words. Lin Ming pondered as he walked straight to the assembly hall.

   When Lin Ming came to the assembly hall, the assembly hall was empty, with only the patriarch alone.

  The name of the head of the Lin family was Lin Zhan. He seemed to be an old man with white hair. According to his seniority, Lin Ming should call him the second grandfather, because Lin Ming's grandfather was the elder brother of the patriarch.

"You're here." Lin Zhan turned around and glanced at Lin Ming. A trace of regret flashed in his eyes. The Lin family was prosperous, but among so many people, it was almost impossible to find a second descendant with such a bearing. Doubt, in terms of personality alone, in the entire Lin family, there are few people who can compare to Lin Ming. It's a pity... his talent is too poor.

  Lin Ming let Lin Zhan look at himself, and gave a salute without being humble or arrogant: "Patriarch."

  Lin Zhan nodded, then stroked his long beard and asked, "Lin Ming, have you ever hated me?"

   "Resent?" Lin Ming looked at Lin Zhan suspiciously.

   "It's because I didn't give you the opportunity to continue your cultivation and sent you to be the shopkeeper on East Street." Lin Zhan spoke bluntly and raised a sensitive topic.

   "There's no such thing as resentment, it's just a little unwilling." Lin Ming shook his head.

   "What do you mean by this?"

"What is my talent? I have self-knowledge. Even if I continue to cultivate, it will only be a waste of time. I may occasionally feel a little bit of luck, but in the end, I have to face the reality." Although Lin Ming is young, his wisdom is extraordinary. , "Rather than waiting until I hit the south wall to regret it, it's better to find another way now. Although the patriarch broke my way of cultivation, he also arranged another way for me. At least, I don't have to worry about lack of clothing and food in the future. Not hungry, life is rich enough."

   Even the abandoned son of the Lin family is much stronger than ordinary people. On the other hand, if there is no Lin family, he may be inferior to the beggars on the street. In this case, what qualifications do he have to hold grudges?

   At the end of the sentence, Lin Ming's mouth curled into a self-mockery: "Besides...the Lin family's huge family business always needs someone to take care of it, doesn't it?"

   "Then what if... I give you another chance?" Lin Zhan looked at Lin Ming with a smile.

   Hearing the words, Lin Ming raised his head suddenly, his calm emotions, like a boulder smashed into a pool, instantly boiled.

"As of now, I won't hide it from you. This afternoon, the head of the Wu clan found me..." Lin Zhan said slowly: "What is the situation in Cang Qiong Academy, you must know it yourself, you chose to go to Cang Qiong Academy to be a student, accept it. Unknown fate, or wait a month to be the shopkeeper of the shop honestly, you choose."
