Chapter 270: A New Semester |
Han Dong, who passed the elite intensive training with distinction, no longer had to participate in the final examination at the end of his freshman semester.
The holidays were upon us.
Han Dong still took the time to go back home to see how his sister Nina and his mother were doing.
Due to Han Dong.
Nina was also treated better in the mechanical workshop, as she had greeted Coslin, Nina had now been transferred to a more advanced mechanical workshop for an internship, and once she could pass the novice space, she could immediately become a full mechanical apprentice.
Nina is prepared to wait another six months for a hidden exoskeleton armor to be made before heading to the novice space.
......
Han Dong's life, on the other hand, was slightly dull.
If not in the fungus lab in the [old sewers] researching the mechanism of the interaction between the G-virus and the fungus, or in the secret room of the [stargazing room] reading and studying the eye book.
During the intensive training period.
With the absorption function of his tentacles, Han Dong had already drawn enough 'out-of-town energy' from the major Stuart officers.
However.
"The 'Little Devil's Eye' was more difficult to perfect than one might expect.
Han Dong spent a full three months during the summer holidays to completely complete the study of one of its - Living Eye Scrolls.
"The 'Little Devil's Eye' was already able to fully execute all the basic functions described in the first volume.
The most important point.
Han Dong was finally able to read the second volume of the Eye Book properly.
Compared to the Living Eye Volume, which mentions a little bit of everything and lies mainly in basic learning.
The second volume was the true sense of the volume chapter that would allow the little magic eye to gain 'true abilities'.
[The second volume - Pupil Seal Volume]
The title alone attracted Han Dong and he immediately indulged in reading it.
However, ... the situation was a little unusual.
After only fifteen minutes of reading.
The stinging sensation that flashed across his eyes, as well as a drop of blood that dripped down his face onto the eye book.
It pulled Han Dong out of his immersed state.
The entire little devil's eye was covered in blood and even oozed out beads of blood ... and the ability to see was greatly weakened.
Such a situation scared Han Dong a lot, immediately closed his eyes while looking for Mr. Black and White to ask ... the result was then, overuse of the eyes, just take a good rest for a few days.
The reason is simple.
The difficulty of viewing each volume of the eye book is increasing.
Reading texts that were higher and had inner seals would put a great load on the eyes.
In this way, Han Dong's daily reading time must not exceed ten minutes ... The rest of the time is needed to comprehend on his own based on what he has read in ten minutes.
The concepts of knowledge expounded in the Pupil Seal Volume gave Han Dong a feeling of having touched on a whole new field.
However, the basic requirements needed to refine the volume far exceeded those of the Living Eye Volume.
The basic requirements were as follows.
1. a large amount of extra-city life essence (especially eye essence)
2. the level of the individual's brain domain
(Requires the seeds within Han Dong's skull to be fully sprouted, which can provide a constant source of energy. The Faceless One's head also needs to be upgraded to LV.3 to generate and harness the Pupil Seal.)
Once the Pupil Seal is cultivated.
According to the description in the book, Han Dong can make lower-ranked beings disintegrate through a single glare.
In that case.
Han Dong would have to put all these things together, such as the 'Little Devil's Eye' advancement, head upgrade, seed breaking, and weight increase.
The growth route was far more than that of a normal trainee knight, but it also required more effort and cost.
Stronger evil pupils, more limbs, more hosts, and a Mystic Talent Tree.
Once he thought of these, Han Dong had to do his best to shorten his sleep time and devote all his energy to his studies.
Of course.
Apart from the study thing.
With the help of Mr. Black and White, the 'supply channel' had been successfully opened.
It was impossible to make money in the early stages.
The experimental area still needed a lot of supplies and time to rebuild.
Han Dong directly took out all the 1500 copper coins that he had been rewarded for the intensive training and used them for the purchase of basic supplies.
The brand-new laboratory was being slowly perfected according to the blueprint drawn up by the doctor.
Finally, there was the matter of [Mia] to talk about.
Mia naturally pestered Han Dong every chance she got and formulated seven different 'demands' ... which were all rejected by Han Dong as infringing on his interests.
Mia, on the other hand, was not willing to offset the 'demands' by sleeping with him for just one night.
Therefore, this demand has still not been made until now ...
......
The summer passed.
The newcomer label affixed to Han Dong's body was torn off.
He was now a sophomore in the Mystic faculty.
In another month the cooldown time for [Destiny Points] to be available for the acquisition was about to end.
The Return of the Joker (Inside Story)
One needs to wait until he breaks the seed and becomes a full-fledged knight before he can choose with.
Thus, the fate space that Han Dong is about to face is currently completely unknown.
It just must be at least four stars (seed stage) in difficulty as requested by Mr. Black and White.
Before entering, Han Dong needs to be fully prepared.
Hence.
In his spare time, Han Dong made a trip to the Mechanical Faculty.
Walking through the various gear-turning mechanical workshops, he arrived at the underground blacksmithing area located deep within the faculty.
The blacksmithing area was so special that even mechanical apprentices were forbidden to enter it, and only apprentices with high talent, who were born with the talent of blacksmithing and had been granted a pass, were granted the right to enter.
The blacksmithing area is called the [Underground Furnace Castle].
It's like the Dead water Swamp in the Mystic Department, but it's even more significant, as it involves the creation of equipment and the best blacksmithing techniques in the Holy City.
The person who manages this place is none other than Miss Wendy's master.
Even though he was not just a titular professor within the Mechanical Faculty department, his true reputation was the same as the department head, if not a little higher ... Few people could see the old blacksmith's true face.
As an external student, Han Dong was able to travel to the Underground Furnace Fortress naturally to make an appointment with someone.
"Vice-captain!!!"
It had been several months since they had seen each other.
Wendy was still the same as before ... wheat-colored skin with well-defined muscle lines, wearing a black vest alone that was completely soaked with sweat.
Tied in a fiery red ponytail, she wore an innocent smile that was extremely rare under the apocalypse.
"Wendy, it's been a long time."
Han Dong took the initiative to come and see Wendy, mainly for two things.
One of them was the matter of building ... Han Dong had some very good materials in his hands, all from the harvest outside the city, and wanted to see if Wendy could build an applicable piece of equipment for him.
The "Great Ghoul's Nails" plucked alive from the Great Lord, and the "Black Feather" taken from itself by the Crow Elder, which had the magic power of a crow.
"Nice materials then ... What does the Vice-Captain want to build?"
"Lightweight body armor."
Although Han Dong had the G Virus enhancement, it was mainly in his right arm ... body regeneration was only 1/10 of his right arm, and it was impossible to recover once he was seriously injured.
Han Dong did not dare to guarantee that every battle would be unscathed, an upper and well-fitting armor was necessary.
"Alright ... vice-captain you come down with me first, we'll go to the blacksmith room and discuss the options in detail."
