Infinity Throne

"Regarding crystal patterns, A Deng must have hidden some very important knowledge."

"why?"

"Is it a secret that is not to be told outside?"

Yilin passed through the long and narrow corridor, took the black-tech crystal-powered "elevator", and went straight up.

On the way, Yi Lin thought over and over again about the conclusions he had come up with, but more doubts arose.

"Is it because... the reputation value is not enough?"

Yi Lin moved her index finger down and opened the panel.

Ever since she became a "student engineer", passed various courses and examinations, and was promoted to "intermediate engineer", Yilin's [Grand Engineering College] reputation has been stuck at [Friendly (0/6000)] and has never made any progress. .

In fact, it is normal for there to be no progress.

He's blown up the laboratory so many times, it's considered good if he doesn't lose his reputation.

soon.

Yi Lin once again found the great engineer A Deng.

——Yi Lin always feels that A Deng's full name is very difficult to pronounce, and "A Deng" is more easy to pronounce.

"I said A Deng..."

Yi Rin got straight to the point.

"What?"

A Deng originally thought that Yi Lin came to him to cause some trouble.

He was about to dodge, but before he could, he was unfortunately caught by Yi Lin.

But when Yi Lin said what she meant, A Deng's eyes suddenly widened.

"You, you, you said you were going to solve the crystal mine crisis?"

A Deng's reaction was somewhat beyond Yi Lin's expectations.

"You mean, I shouldn't go?"

"Ah! No, no, no, go! You must go! Go quickly! Go!"

A Deng was so excited that he almost cried.

He thought that Yi Lin was thinking about how to cause sabotage every day, and had long forgotten about this matter, which was related to the life and death of the University of Engineering.

Yi Lin looked calm and nodded: "That's alright, I'm just telling you."

"My dear student," A Deng suddenly remembered something and cautiously tried: "You... don't have any other conditions?"

"Conditions?" Yi Lin was stunned for a moment, then pointed at her face seriously: "My respected mentor, do you think I am such a shameless person?"

A Deng hesitated for a long time.

In the end, I still didn't say what was in my heart.

"My dear student, you must be careful!"

"You must come back safely!"

"The University of Engineering cannot live without you!"

A Deng dressed neatly and took Yi Lin all the way to the entrance of the University of Engineering and said goodbye with tears.

By the way, a series of Flags were inserted on Yi Lin.

Yi Lin hurried away to avoid A Deng saying more unlucky words.

A Deng, the great engineer, wanted to drive Yi Lin to his destination personally before leaving.

But as soon as A Deng said these words, Yi Lin walked faster. This left A Deng standing at the door of the University of Engineering, looking confused and confused.

When did this student become so respectful to the "old" driver?

"Ah, that's great."

A Deng instantly felt that his earnest teachings had yielded results, and he walked arrogantly along the path of the college and returned to the large engineering tower.

…

Yi Lin left the University of Engineering and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, A Deng is self-aware.

This "important side mission" is already an SS-level difficult mission.

If A Deng is allowed to drive, the difficulty level will easily rise to SSS level.

Yi Lin stood for a while not far from the University of Engineering.

Wang Tiandi swung his little tail and followed.

Before setting off, Yi Lin sent a message to Emperor Wang Tian, ​​and the dog followed.

Huh?

Yi Lin suddenly discovered that the dog's smile was very arrogant and arrogant.

Take another closer look.

There was actually a red lip mark on Gouzi's face.

Yi Lin instantly understood what the dog had been busy with these days.

"Do you still remember that big she-wolf in the moonlight forest beside Labu Town?"

Yi Lin sighed softly.

In an instant, Wang Tiandi's sultry smile froze on the dog's face.

Yilin was walking on a busy street with one person and one dog.

As far as he could see, the entire city seemed to fall within the scope of the "Grand Engineering College".

Almost everyone has the title of "engineer" on their head.

In the city, there are many high-rise buildings.

The air routes are criss-crossed, and the flying boards shuttle quickly and orderly.

On the streets, there are many strange things.

Like vending machines, human massage machines, red, green, yellow, blue, orange and purple street lights, routes in the sky...

This is a strange city.

But Yi Lin couldn't feel any disobedience.

If you ignore the light of those crystals and the various "circuits" used in life, this place will look like a modern metropolis.

As Yi Lin walked inside, she suddenly had the illusion of returning to the "real" world.

Although Yi Lin has no memory of "reality", she feels that nothing can go wrong.

"The style of this game is getting weirder and weirder."

Yi Lin was suddenly curious about the weird and magnificent customs on the backs of other giant beasts.

Come to think of it, if I were not trapped in this game world and couldn't get out, I would travel around. Walking around the seven... er, six giant beasts, it was also very interesting to look at the scenes on the backs of different giant beasts.

"This game is really interesting."

Yi Lin quickened her pace, but couldn't help but laugh.

With the title of [Intermediate Engineer], Yi Lin enjoyed all kinds of admiring looks from all around.

A mid-level engineer with high authority in the city.

All major stores are offering ultra-low discounts of 20% off.

But Yi Lin has always been used to having sex for free, so naturally she doesn't like this discount.

But in order to avoid losing the reputation of the [Friendly] Engineer College, which she had finally gained, Yi Lin honestly spent gold coins to purchase a batch of daily necessities.

Speaking of which, the bonus attributes of this [Intermediate Great Engineer Suit] are a bit weird.

[Hand speed +3%]

[Hand speed +5%]

[Hand speed +7%]

What kind of "hand speed" can be added to a nice engineer's robe?

Yi Lin was speechless about the properties of this equipment.

But the weird attribute of "hand speed" is not useless.

At the very least, Yi Lin's speed at drawing lines became much faster after wearing this set of equipment.

After one hour.

Yi Lin walked out of the city.

Yi Lin held up the map she bought from the grocery store and looked at the route marked on the map while memorizing it.

The maps sold in the Aurora store are much more detailed than those sold on "Gaia the Titan". At the very least, there are fewer foggy areas on the map.

"Follow the northwest, pass the Path of Sorrow, and cross the Mist Mountains to reach the 'Abandoned Crystal Mine'."

"Huh? The location of the Mist Mountains is marked with an 'X'? What does it mean? Treasure? It's not so blatantly marked on a 100G map, right?"

Soon after, Yi Lin arrived at the Path of Sorrow with Emperor Wang Tian with doubts and expectations.

The city of the University of Engineering is surrounded by lush vegetation.

But after arriving at the Path of Sorrow, the land turned gray. There were many gray prism-like barbs growing on the roadside. There were not even a weed, and there was an air of desolation and dilapidation everywhere.

The dead branches with all the dead leaves scattered crookedly on both sides of the path. From a distance, it looks like a ferocious tree monster. If it weren't for the red names and grades appearing on these dead wood, which looked weird like a "war-damaged" garden design, Yi Lin might have tried stabbing it with a knife.

The gray prisms on the roadside caught Yi Lin's attention. In fact, the road is covered with this stuff and it's really hard not to pay attention.

Yi Lin walked to the side of the path, squatted down, and looked at the gray prism barbs growing out of the soil.

These barbs resemble a piece of grass, but the surface of the barbs is sharp and angular, dull, and is clearly a solid substance.

"Wait, is this a crystal?"

After Yi Lin looked at it carefully, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"wrong……"

Yi Lin quickly shook her head.

No "crystal" energy can be felt at all on these crystal-like barbs.

Yi Lin is now a serious engineer, and he can still tell the difference easily.

"This is a depleted crystal."

Yi Lin casually took out the Question Mark Divine Sword, shaped it into a pair of daggers, and lightly struck the gray barbs.

The knocking force is not very strong.

"Susususu..."

The gray barb that Yi Lin poked instantly turned into powder all over the ground.

Yi Lin stood up silently and walked forward.

There was dead silence.

"Chi chi chi chi——"

Deep in the path, the strange sounds of monsters occasionally came out, breaking the silence.

"Kakaka..."

With every step Yi Lin took, she crushed many gray barbs, leaving gray powder on the ground behind her.

Here, it's like a dead land.

There is no anger whatsoever.

Yi Lin raised her head.

Even the usually clear sky seemed to be covered with a layer of gray haze, without any clouds in sight.

As far as Yi Lin could see, the scenery in front of her and the world around her seemed to be crying silently, like an extremely sad pantomime without a single line. But the atmosphere was enough to make people feel depressed, and sadness could not help but rise in their hearts.

"So this is the Path of Sorrow."

Yi Lin suddenly understood the origin of this land and its name.

Walking some distance.

Not far from Yi Lin, the mobs in the leveling area finally appeared.

【Bouncer】

【LV39】

Children at level 39 are still within the range that Yi Lin can accept.

Yilin spent more than a month learning scientific knowledge in the Great Engineer College, and her level was just as high as level 36 because she completed the current goal of the main mission. There is a certain gap between the monsters in this leveling area.

But this difference should be nothing to Yi Lin.

He is a man who will be mistaken for cheating by his teammates if he takes action with all his strength.

The monster named [Bouncer] is cute, round, and black. On the sphere, there are two smart eyes and an exaggerated smiling face, painted in a cartoon style.

Anyway, the style of this game is weird and unpredictable. Yi Lin got used to it and didn't bother to complain.

Before entering the battle, Yi Lin casually released the two mother spirits, Nie Hongxiu and Bai Xiaoyi, for some air.

"Oh? Your skin looks very healthy today!"

By the way, Yi Lin changed another method and took the time to brush up the "bond value" of the divine sword.

Bai Xiaoyi snorted and curled her lips: "Nonsense."

Nie Hongxiu turned her head away, with white hair and bare feet, floating in the void with a cold expression. It seems, as if, not happy about it at all.

[The bond value of the divine sword ‘Bai Xiaoyi’ is +2. 】

[The bond value of the divine sword ‘Nie Hongxiu’ is +3. 】

Woman, your name is "Integrity in speech and body".

Yi Lin had already mastered the trick of increasing the "bond value" and smiled without saying a word.

Gouzi smiled evilly, took out a brand new fighting claw from the factory, equipped it, sharpened it, and was about to attack.

Yi Lin is faster than Gouzi.

With a movement of his body, he turned into a shadow and quietly came behind the Bouncy Monster.

【Following like a shadow】!

【Shadow Kill】!

[Poison-Quenching Dagger]!

[Two-sword style]!

【Concentrate】!

【Venom Assassination】!

Breathwork!

Shadow-shattering blow!

Before knowing the characteristics of the bouncing monster, Yi Lin had no intention of holding back. After all, he was killing monsters by leapfrogging, so it was better to be safe. So Yi Lin directly chose the most complete combo, turning eight combos into one move and striking out suddenly.

Huh?

When Yi Lin got close to the back of the Bouncing Monster, she realized that the shape of this cute monster looked familiar and unique.

On the forehead, there is a thick hair. As Yi Lin got closer, she realized that the black and slightly curly hair was very conspicuous.

Yi Lin's combos are very skillful.

So proficient that it's almost like muscle memory.

Before Yi Lin had time to think about why there was a curly hair on the monster's head, this knife that had been tempered for many years suddenly pierced the back of the monster's back.

【-684】.

A three-digit number suddenly popped up from above Bouncing Monster's head.

Originally this was a happy thing to hear.

until……

Hissssss——

The curly hair on Bouncy Monster's forehead quickly caught fire and burned.

"Fuck! This is...a bomb!!!"

boom--

far away.

The heat wave of the explosion blew all the dog hair that Wang Tiandi had just smoothed to the back of his head.

Emperor Wang Tian's eyes widened.

In the heat wave, the dog's hair was messy and its face was confused.
