Capítulo 73: Everything was within expectations
Director Qiu of the Academic Affairs Office stood respectfully to one side. In the seat that was actually his, Bai Yiyuan sat casually in front of him.
When Lin Moyu arrived, he was a little surprised to see Bai Yiyuan, but did not show any particular expression.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Bai. Greetings, Director Qiu," Lin Moyu said.
Bai Yiyuan chuckled and waved at Lin Moyu. "I have looked at the papers for this exam. You did exceptionally well."
Lin Moyu replied softly, "I only did what was necessary"
This exam was about obtaining the Mermaid's Tear, but Lin Moyu did not know its true purpose yet. But considering the academy's arrangement, the Mermaid's Tear had to be of great importance.
Bai Yiyuan's smile widened. To remain humble in victory and steadfast in defeat is the mark of a future warrior of the highest level.
"'Do you know the purpose of the Mermaid's Tear?" Bai Yiyuan inquired.
Lin Moyu shook his head, indicating that he did not know.
Bai Yiyuan explained, "'Only a few people know its purpose because most people do not need it. The Mermaid's Tear affects the success rate of awakening talents in ascending to the second grade."
Lin Moyu was slightly taken aback. The chance of awakening a talent during the second ascension is so low that it seems to be based on luck. He did not realize that there were items that could increase this probability.
Despite his inner surprise, Lin Moyu maintained his calm demeanor and his gaze did not change either.
Seeing no reaction from Lin Moyu, Bai Yiyuan felt a little disappointed. "Of course, the Mermaid's Tear is not the only item that can help awaken talents; it's just the easiest to obtain"
"We had calculated the time and place of the mermaid island's emergence, but the Sakura Nation did the same, so this attempt almost failed."
"Fortunately, you were there, so you have earned great merit this time."
"In the Shenxia Empire, merit deserves a reward. What do you want as a reward? I will do my best to grant it."
After thinking, Lin Moyu said, "Can you help me find someone?"
Bai Yiyuan chuckled. "I knew you guys would ask that. Didn't you already go to the Academic Affairs Office to investigate?"
"Your sister Lin Mohan entered the academy last year and attended the Creation Academy earlier this year. That's why you only found blank records of her here."
"All students who join the Creation Academy have blank records"
Lin Moyu was finally taken aback. "My sister joined the Creation Academy?"
He knew how difficult it was to get into the Creation Academy, the most prestigious of all institutions, with incredibly high barriers to entry. Jiang Taotao's biggest dream was to be accepted there, and Ning Yiyi had also emphasized how important this acceptance was.
There was always something mysterious about the Academy of Creation for him. He had not expected his sister to be the first to join.
This realization raised questions. How had his sister, who had only been at the academy for less than six months, managed to be accepted into the Academy of Creation? Even internally trained talents like Jiang Taotao had not made it.
Bai Yiyuan explained, "Lin Mohan has indeed been accepted into the Academy of Creation. According to the rules, I can not reveal any details about the academy, so if you have any questions, you will have to join the Academy of Creation yourself and ask her directly."
"As long as you have not joined the Academy of Creation, you can not see your sister"
Lin Moyu asked without hesitation, "How can I join the Academy of Creation?"
Bai Yiyuan readily pressed his communicator, and Lin Moyu received a notification on his own device.
"I have sent you the requirements for joining the Creation Academy. You can read through them at your leisure."
"As for your sister, this information is only for you and does not count as your reward. You can ask for something else."
Lin Moyu thought for a moment. "I would like a cooling amulet."
Director Qiu put on a knowing smile.
Bai Yiyuan laughed heartily and tapped on the table. "Director Qiu, did not I tell you that?"
Director Qiu chortled, "Sir, you really have a sharp mind."
Bai Yiyuan had anticipated both of Lin Moyu's requests.
Bai Yiyuan, still amused, looked at Lin Moyu. "Do you recognize the value of a cooling amulet? Even a simple amulet is not easy to obtain."
Lin Moyu nodded. "Indeed, you can not buy it, not even in the academy's trading hall."
Bai Yiyuan continued, "Let us get this straight. You have passed the national examinations with flying colors and have been justly rewarded. This matter is settled."
"You have indeed earned merits for this exam. But that alone is not enough to receive a basic cooling amulet."
"I have a task for you. Fulfill it and I will obtain a basic cooling amulet for you."
Lin Moyu's eyes lit up. "Agreed."
A cooling amulet would greatly facilitate his ability to quickly overcome dungeons and greatly accelerate his level advancement.
Bai Yiyuan said, "First you must reach level 20. Only then can you dedicate yourself to this task."
"If you need advice on level advancement, contact Director Qiu. He is an expert in this field."
"Get in touch with me as soon as you reach level 20."
With Bai Yiyuan's contact information in his communicator, Lin Moyu set himself clear goals: obtain the cooling amulet, join the Creation Academy and find his sister.
After Bai Yiyuan left, Director Qiu finally took his seat again and beamed at Lin Moyu.
From Bai Yiyuan's demeanor, Director Qiu could tell that Bai Yiyuan held this young man in high esteem. Bai Yiyuan, who was normally one of the top talents of the Creation Academy himself, had shown Lin Moyu an unprecedented kindness.
Director Qiu speculated about Lin Moyu's potential and was amused by his own thoughts.
"To level up quickly, solo dungeon runs are the best method," Director Qiu began. "However, this method is dangerous, and most people only complete the normal difficulty and often skip the final boss."
"Besides the dungeons, you can also hunt elite monsters in the wilderness, but these areas are crowded and competitive."
"Then there are the wild bosses, which offer a lot of experience and good equipment, but are often claimed by large guilds."
Director Qiu enumerated numerous methods, with only the initial dungeon strategy being somewhat viable for Lin Moyu.
Still, Lin Moyu listened patiently and realized the value of the information for the future, such as public monster zones between nations he had never heard of.
After a long monolog, Director Qiu was annoyed by Lin Moyu's unchanged behavior. "Mr. Bai was right, you really are restrained. You won, enough with the teasing."
"Give me your ID card. I will take care of the paperwork."
Lin Moyu handed over his ID, and Director Qiu finished the process and gave Lin Moyu a unique teleportation stone.
"This is the teleportation stone for the dungeon hall. Inside the academy, you can use it to teleport to the dungeon hall."
"It costs 1000 points, which have already been deducted from your points card."
In the academy, all transactions must be paid for, be it work, points or gold. Nothing is free.
After leaving the Academic Affairs Office, Lin Moyu contacted Ning Yiyi as promised to help her level up. His communicator buzzed with a message from her, "Busy for a few days, let me know when I am back."
