Chapter 110: Senior Mentor of the Multivision School
[Would you like to insert the Unknown Creature’s Eyeball into your eye socket?]
Lin Xun smiled faintly and decisively clicked ‘Yes.’
[You pick up an Unknown Creature’s Eyeball and cautiously insert it into your eye socket…]
[You feel strange tissue begin to grow within the socket. A wave of intense pain follows…]
[Due to the eyeball having lost most of its vitality, you recover only a fraction of your vision.]
[Because of its poor quality, you are unable to gain Knowledge-enhancing skills from the eyeball.]
Reading the text, Lin Xun understood that Lir’s Shell’s skill had indeed come from her having extra transplanted eyes.
Having picked up on this clue, he now looked forward to reaching Bennett’s Transplant Clinic. That place was likely filled with eyeballs… maybe even special ones. If he could obtain highly perceptive eyes, he might unlock new Knowledge-boosting skills.
After inserting one more junk eyeball, the student Shell’s vision slightly improved again.
Then, Lin Xun tried inserting a third.The cursed game responded with a blunt message.
[This Shell has only two eye sockets and cannot embed any more eyeballs.]
Lin Xun rolled his eyes and kept playing.
[With your two grotesque eyes open, you begin to move forward. The students in the corridor seem to sense something and all turn toward you.]
[They gaze at the two eyes on your face, expressions of longing appearing on their pale, twisted faces…]
Not good!
Seeing that text, Lin Xun didn’t wait for the next prompt.
He immediately retreated, trying to dash back into the safe zone.
[You turn to flee. The students surge after you like a tidal wave…]
[You narrowly escape back into the lecture hall just before being caught.]
[An unseen force prevents the students from entering.]
[After pacing for a while in frustration, they reluctantly disperse…]
These lunatic students go crazy the moment they see someone with eyes.
But then, why hadn’t they attacked Lir?
Lin Xun figured he could’ve also chosen to possess a strong Shell and mow them all down.
But those students were still potential disposable Shells, so wasting them felt shortsighted.
He switched back to the Dancer Shell, activated stealth, and headed out once more.
He bypassed the student monsters and began investigating the classrooms lining the corridor.
Most held nothing but worthless junk.
Near the Nameless Mentor’s private office, Lin Xun found several more locked offices.
Luckily, the locks were basic, he clicked to use the Widowmaker – Hidden Blade, and forced them open.
Finally, some useful loot.
Three more “Books Containing Trace Knowledge.” This brought his total up to five.
[At the end of the hallway is a stairwell leading both up and down. You look at the nearby wall and see a label marking this as the second floor.]
[Would you like to ascend or descend the stairs?]
After a moment of thought, Lin Xun clicked “Ascend.”
He believed in thorough exploration and intended to fully clear the teaching building before venturing outdoors.
[You ascend the stairs and reach the third floor of the teaching building.]
[You peer down the hallway. The nearest room is the Senior Mentor’s Office, followed by a row of classrooms. Strangely, there are no student monsters here.]
[Beside you on the wall is a rusted iron ladder built into the structure.]
[Looking up, you see it leads to a square hatch in the ceiling, likely an entrance to the rooftop.]
[Would you like to explore this floor or climb the iron ladder to the rooftop?]
Lin Xun decided to fully sweep the third floor of the teaching building.
[You step into the hallway. The Senior Mentor’s Office door is firmly shut.]
[A sharp blade springs from your wrist-sheathed weapon. You easily destroy the lock.]
[You push the door open and enter…]
[In the corner of the office, you discover a finely crafted wooden storage chest.]
[Would you like to open the chest?]
Lin Xun’s eyes lit up.
It had been… well, a long time since his last treasure chest. Too long.
He performed a routine check with a strike. No Mimic behavior was detected, then clicked to open it.
[You open the exquisitely carved wooden chest…]
[You have obtained: Nameless Large Chunk of Spirit Essence ×1]
[You have obtained: Advanced Forging Stone ×1]
[You have obtained: Clarity Eyedrops (Item)]
Not bad. Three items, decent loot.
The Nameless Large Chunk of Spirit Essence was worth 1000 Spirit Essence and would be stored for now.
The Advanced Forging Stone was a precious material worth 5000, useful when he collected three for a +3 weapon upgrade.
[Clarity Eyedrops (Item): A small glass bottle filled with a sapphire-colored liquid. When dropped into your eyes, mysterious effects occur. Temporarily grants enhanced vision and sharpened focus.]
Lin Xun raised an eyebrow, this was a special-use item that might prove useful in later encounters.
Confirming the office was clear, he exited.
The third floor was strangely devoid of monsters.
Lin Xun methodically checked nearby offices and classrooms, like the second floor, there was little loot beyond junk.
[You gradually make your way to the deepest end of the hallway…]
[At the shadowy corridor’s end, a tall, gaunt figure leans against the wall.]
[Remaining hidden, you approach. The figure faces away from you, wearing a standard black academic robe. Its forehead presses against the wall, as if lost in thought.]
[Would you like to attempt an assassination?]
Before Lin Xun could choose an option, the game continued:
[The figure suddenly senses your presence and whirls around. Five large eyes are sewn onto the chest of its robe. Its pallid face is covered in dozens of tiny, jet-black pupils.]
[You’ve encountered the Knowledge-Seeking Senior Mentor of the Multivision School. The multitude of eyes fills you with dread. You feel dizzy as chaotic knowledge floods into your soul.]
[You gain Knowledge: +50. Current Knowledge: 50/200]
Gaining Knowledge just from seeing a strong enemy?
“If I’d known, I would’ve used Lir’s Shell to trigger the skill,” Lin Xun muttered.
But Knowledge was a soul-bound stat. Switching Shells now wouldn’t allow a repeat gain.
No time to lament. Before the monster could engage, he opened the Shell panel and selected the Corrupted Earth Giant.
He had already downsized the Shell to human scale in the library duel, so he didn’t have to worry about smashing the building and missing later content.
In the face of overwhelming power, all monsters, no matter how terrifying were nothing but paper tigers.
[You possess the Shell of the Corrupted Earth Giant.]
[You are clad in the Regenerating Scale Armor of the Dragon Rider, wielding the colossal Ancient Dragonfang Greatclub!]
[You swing your massive club with a gust of terrifying wind, smashing it down onto the Senior Mentor…]
[With a thunderous crash, the strike pulverizes the monster into a pulp, collapsing the floor and opening a massive hole!]
[Through the shattered floor, you glimpse the students below. Their hollow sockets stare upward at you…]
[They let out a sharp shriek, then tremble, cowering and prostrating themselves, no longer daring to look at you.]
???
Lin Xun blinked. “What the heck?”
Even these deranged freaks knew how to bully the weak and fear the strong?
[You have defeated the Knowledge-Seeking Senior Mentor of the Multivision School. Your experience increases significantly!]
[Your Shell’s power surges. The Corrupted Earth Giant Shell has leveled up. Current Shell Level: 30]
[You have obtained…]
