395 Becoming a Videographer Again
Zhou Wen could understand Wang Guotaoâs worries. In the League, Wang Mingyuan was taboo. His reputation might even be worse than the devil, Jing Daoxian.
With the branding as Wang Mingyuanâs student on him, no one from a wealthy family in the League would dare to get too close to him to avoid being considered to be in cahoots with him.
Wang Guotao only said one sentence, but he didnât say anything after that. One sentence was all that was needed when speaking to smart people. For those who werenât smart, it was useless no matter how much was said. Therefore, he only mentioned one key point.
Zhou Wen and Wang Lu left the restaurant together. Wang Lu was very happy, so she didnât return to school directly. Instead, she took Zhou Wen around the mall and bought quite a lot of things. She also bought some clothes for him to show her gratitude.
âZhou Wen, how did you do it? You actually slammed the tea leaves into the table. Even my uncle was dumbfounded. He definitely canât do it,â Wang Lu said.
Zhou Wen said with a smile, âActually, itâs not completely Yin force. Itâs a technique Iâve been learning recently. Itâs considered a trick.â
Zhou Wen was telling the truth. He was certain that he couldnât do anything to such an extent by relying on Yin forces. The soaked tea leaves were not only soft and brittle, but they were also separated by the teacup. Even a powerful Yin force expert like Wang Guotao couldnât send the tea leaves into the table like him.
Zhou Wen used some of the spatial-type means, but it looked like Yin force. In fact, the Yin force played a very small role in it. It was in the same vein as Leng Zongzhengâs use of the Demonic Organ Throne. It was also the fruit of Zhou Wenâs recent reading and research.
Although there was still no way to upgrade the Lost Country to an Evolved Body, there was finally some progress. As long as he continued his research, he would eventually gain some insight.
âAt least youâre smart. Iâm really happy today. Are you free tomorrow? I need to complete my homework mission, so be my videographer,â Wang Lu said.
âAlright.â Zhou Wen didnât reject it.
He didnât deliberately distance himself from Wang Lu due to what Wang Guotao had said. He and Wang Lu were only ordinary friends, so there was nothing to hide. Furthermore, Zhou Wen wasnât a goody-two-shoes.
Wang Lu was well aware of his situation. Since Wang Lu didnât mind being friends with him, why would he push Wang Lu away?
As for the negative effects of being Wang Mingyuanâs student, Zhou Wen believed that he could eliminate it in the future and not let it affect his family and friends.
Of course, that was on the premise that Wang Lu didnât mind.
After returning to his dorm, Zhou Wen headed for the underground Pool City. However, he had killed many Epic creatures inside, so finding more of them was very troublesome. All he could do was switch dungeons.
The blood-colored avatar couldnât die, so Zhou Wen couldnât respawn the dungeons either. All he could do was head to some safe places to grind. After some time, he didnât have any monsters to grind.
Iâll sleep early today. Iâll check the results when I head to the underground sea tomorrow. It was rare for Zhou Wen to go to sleep so early that he woke up punctually at six in the morning.
His Lost Country cooldown time wasnât up. After he washed up, he grabbed a book and walked to the cafeteria to eat as he read.
The few books that Leng Zongzheng introduced him to were a little too profound. Many of them had knowledge that Zhou Wen had never read before, but he didnât find it dull.
Perhaps others who read these intelligible books might find them boring, but Zhou Wen read with great relish. From his point of view, the knowledge he didnât understand gave him plenty of room to imagine. Rather than studying, it was better to say that Zhou Wen treated it as a storybook.
Many times, after Zhou Wen figured out what it really meant and compared it to his imagination, he realized he had been ridiculously wrong.
For someone like Zhou Wen, who was easily engrossed in everything he did, he learned everything faster than the average person.
Of course, there were also flaws. While Zhou Wen immersed himself in multi-dimensional string theory and fantasized about a magical world, he didnât realize that Wang Lu had been sitting opposite him for quite some time.
Just as Zhou Wen was about to leave, he realized that Wang Lu was sitting there.
âWhen did you arrive?â Zhou Wen asked.
âI really have no idea whatâs up with you. I can close one eye when youâre obsessed with gaming, but to be so engrossed in reading such books... Iâm really impressed.â Wang Lu rolled her eyes at him. âYesterday, you said you will be my videographer. Did you forget that because of your reading?â
âI havenât forgotten. Whatâs your homework mission? Where are you going to hunt dimensional creatures?â Zhou Wen put away his book and asked.
âThereâs no need to hunt dimensional creatures this time. Didnât we go to the Town Godâs Temple previously? This homework mission is also to go to a Town Godâs Temple. However, itâs not the tiny one from before, but the bigger one in the city,â Wang Lu said as she walked.
âYour homework mission is to pray at Town Godâs Temple?â Zhou Wen said in surprise. He had never received such a nice homework mission.
âThis is a homework mission that only special admissions students have. We need to at least defeat a guardian,â Wang Lu said.
Zhou Wen followed Wang Lu to the Town Godâs Temple. At the same time, a person arrived in Luoyang and went to An Tianzuoâs office.
âSir, itâs been a long time since we last met. You are still the same.â An Tianzuo stood up to welcome him, allowing the person to enter the office.
âIâm old. The last time I saw you, I still had some black hair. But now, itâs all white.â Fu Yu sighed.
âSir, you guard the East Sea and slay countless sea beasts to ensure our Leagueâs safety. You are one of the cornerstones of the League. If you claim to be old, no one in the League would dare say that they are young.â An Tianzuo got someone to brew tea for Fu Yu.
âYou...â Fu Yu could not help but laugh.
âSir, is there something important for you to suddenly come to me at this time?â A person like Fu Yu would never leave the East Sea if there was nothing important. His sudden appearance without even making a phone call clearly made it unusual.
Fu Yu put down his teacup and looked at An Tianzuo as he asked, âTianzuo, we have some relationship as master and disciple. There are some things I canât say to others directly, but to you, I wonât beat about the bush.â
âSir, please speak,â An Tianzuo said seriously.
âWang Mingyuan has a student named Zhou Wen. Is he related to you?â Fu Yu asked An Tianzuo.
âNot really. Heâs my step-fatherâs son with his former wife, and has nothing to do with our An family,â An Tianzuo said.
âHowâs your relationship with him then?â Fu Yu asked again.
âI have nothing to do with him,â said An Tianzuo without any hesitation.
âThatâs good. In that case, if the people from the Special Inspector Bureau were to take him away, just turn a blind eye,â Fu Yu said.
âSir, what do you mean by that?â An Tianzuo frowned.
