Chapter 152-1: Rapid Level-Up, Strategy for Grand Scholar Rona (1)
[I shall become… a god!]
[You have acquired knowledge. Your knowledge stat increases by 300! Current Knowledge: 2300/3500]
After finishing the document, Lin Xuns knowledge increased again, though this time only by 300 points.
He frowned, sensing that things were not so simple.
The President of the Multivision Association intended to use demon shells and implant the eyes of starborn beings to complete this so-called Abyss Demon Completion Project.
The ultimate goal of the plan was to become a god.
However, if the document truly contained a way to ascend to godhood, there was no way he would have gained so little knowledge from reading it.
At the very least, it should have triggered a knowledge overload with an exploding head to match the magnitude of the revelation.
Therefore… it was highly likely that the President had embarked on a misguided path.
The Route Map to the Underground Abyss Cave he had obtained was most likely the very place where the ancient demon mentioned in the plan resided.However, even the President himself might not be able to defeat the ancient demon. With his current strength, going there would simply be a waste of soul strength.
For now, his priority was still to infiltrate the Multivision Association and acquire more mage shells.
He clicked the teleport function of the Resting Page.
[Please select the Resting Page to teleport to…]
[You have selected the First Floor of the Multivision School Association Building Resting Page.]
[Teleporting…]
[……]
[……]
[Teleportation successful!]
[An ordinary wandering soul awakens on the first floor of the Multivision Association…]
[You possess the shell of the Corrupted Yellow-Robed Bishop of the White Moon Church!]
Lin Xun switched to the Yellow-Robed Bishop shell to continue exploring the building.
He didn’t believe that using this shell would allow the President to recognize him!
To test this and ensure safety, he went straight to the Scholar Registration Hall.
[You step into the Scholar Registration Hall…]
[The Knowledge-Seeking Multivision Association Registrar behind the counter looks at you, glances down at the documents on the desk, then looks back up to compare your appearance.]
[Suddenly recalling that you had previously registered as a new scholar, it smiles and asks if you wish to upgrade to High Scholar status.]
[By paying 10,000 Spirit Essence and passing the examiners assessment, you can elevate your position and become a High Scholar admired by all.]
[You glance at the documents on the counter. Two portraits are displayed, one of your possessed shells: High Scholar and Earth Giant!]
[Do you wish to proceed with the transaction?]
[You slowly shake your head, indicating that you need to continue studying and further your education.]
[The Knowledge-Seeking Multivision Association Registrar bids you farewell in disappointment, and you stride out of the Scholar Registration Hall…]
The President had publicly posted portraits of both shells, effectively blacklisting him.
Fortunately, Lin Xun had plenty of disguises; switching shells was enough to sidestep being blacklisted.
Relieved, he took the elevator up to the fourth floor.
[You step out of the elevator. According to the Directory Map of the Multivision School Association Building, this floor serves as the office area for the Scholars.]
[Looking down the hallway, you see that the offices here are not as densely arranged as those on the third floor.]
[The directory shows that there are only twelve offices on the fourth floor.]
[Do you wish to explore these offices one by one?]
Since the President was unwilling to evacuate the building to stop his thousand faces self.
Lin Xun would helpfully clear out the entire association for him.
[You knock on the door of one office along the corridor. A Bachelor wearing a silver-trimmed ceremonial robe opens the door.]
[Its numerous eyes all focus on you. Seeing that you’re wearing an Association Scholar Robe, it frowns and informs you that unless you have something important to report, you should not disturb its work.]
[You encounter the Knowledge-Seeking Multivision Association Bachelor for the first time. The multitude of eyes makes your skin crawl. You feel dizzy as disordered knowledge floods into your soul.]
[You have acquired knowledge. Your knowledge stat increases by 900! Current Knowledge: 3200/3500]
Lin Xun let out a sigh of relief.
The Bishop shell he was currently possessing had a knowledge amplification skill.
Upon encountering the Bachelor for the first time, the influx of knowledge had nearly caused his head to explode.
[How do you wish to respond?]
The familiar choice options appeared once again before him.
Lin Xun skillfully pressed the flattery option.
[You tell the Knowledge-Seeking Multivision Association Bachelor that you deeply admire him and wish to learn from him how to advance from a scholar to a knowledgeable bachelor like himself.]
[He sneered, bluntly stating that someone as clueless about proper conduct as you would never become a bachelor in this lifetime!]
[After finishing, he slammed the door shut, refusing you entry.]
???
Lin Xun slowly typed out three question marks.
He had been flatly rejected.
[Do you wish to knock on this office door again, or proceed to visit the next Bachelor?]
Perhaps the Yellow-Robed Bishops scholar status was too low, and that’s why he wasn’t qualified to enter a Bachelors office.
Had he not been blacklisted by the President, switching to the High Scholar shell and flattering him might have granted him entry.
“Looks like I’ll have to head back downstairs to find another lucky High Scholar.”
Just as Lin Xun was about to return to the third floor, a sudden idea struck him, an alternative solution.
This method actually had a higher success rate than flattering with the High Scholar shell.
[You knock on the office door again. The door quickly opens…]
[The Knowledge-Seeking Multivision Association Bachelor sees it’s you again and glares in anger, demanding that you give a reasonable explanation or suffer consequences you’d regret.]
[How do you wish to respond?]
The familiar three options appeared once more.
Lin Xun opened his inventory directly…
[You take out 10,000 Spirit Essence, offering it to the Knowledge-Seeking Multivision Association Bachelor while quietly explaining that this is your tuition fee for learning how to advance to Bachelor status. You humbly ask him to accept this insignificant payment, as you simply wish to learn how to become as knowledgeable as him.]
[The Knowledge-Seeking Multivision Association Bachelor silently accepts the Spirit Essence, then sternly praises you, saying that someone like you, who knows proper conduct and strives for self-improvement, has great potential for advancement.]
[The Bachelor invites you into his office for a detailed discussion…]
Lin Xun smiled faintly.
“Knowledge-Seeking Scholars? More like Money-Seeking Scholars. Everyone in this association building has the same greedy face.”
