Chapter 54 The giant wolf-headed, human-bodied statue in the center of the hall, the Shadow Abyss Wo
He didn't say anything like "keep up the good work," he just looked at Lin Yuan for a long time.
That gaze wasn't the gaze of an examiner looking at a candidate; it was more like seeing something from a long time ago.
Seeing you reminds me of someone.
Meng Hao spoke, his voice not loud: "He's also a kid who climbed up from the bottom. When he awakened, everyone said he was a piece of trash."
Lin Yuan remained silent.
"That happened many years ago. That kid later went to Kyoto..." Meng Hao didn't finish his sentence.
He patted Lin Yuan on the shoulder. His hand was heavy and rough, and it felt like a stone was pressing down on Lin Yuan's shoulder, but it didn't make him feel uncomfortable.
"Go there and do your best, don't embarrass Donghai City."
Lin Yuan nodded.
Meng Hao withdrew his hand and looked up at the moon overhead.
The moon is exceptionally round and bright tonight.
The moonlight carried a very faint, almost imperceptible, crimson hue.
It wasn't the afterglow of the sunset, but the moon's own color.
"Why does the moon seem so round tonight?" he muttered to himself.
A young examiner next to him glanced up and replied, "Indeed. It's a full moon night, so it's normal."
Meng Hao didn't say anything more about this.
......
Lin Yuan walked out of the combat base and hailed a hover taxi on the street.
He shoved the large bag and Zidian into the back seat, then sank into the seat and let out a long sigh.
In three days, living in the forest, eating compressed biscuits, and killing monsters, he managed to raise the Hangzhou college entrance examination score record by a significant margin.
It's not true that I wasn't tired, but it was definitely worth it, since I gained a lot of ability points.
"Master, go to the largest trading market in Hangzhou."
The trading market is still that six-story building, and the holographic sign above the entrance is still tirelessly playing fire and frost effects.
Lin Yuan carried the large bag into the lobby on the first floor and headed straight for the materials purchasing area.
But the hall seemed to have changed from when Lin Yuan last came. A huge monster statue had appeared in the center of the hall!
It was a monster Lin Yuan had never seen before; it was a monster with a wolf's head and a human body.
The statue appears ordinary on the surface, except for a rhombus-shaped red crystal between the eyes of this wolf-headed, human-bodied monster.
Lin Yuan didn't pay much attention and continued towards the acquisition area.
Soon, Lin Yuan arrived at the purchasing area. The purchasing agent behind the counter was a middle-aged man wearing glasses.
He glanced at the half-packet of second-tier demonic cores that Lin Yuan had poured out, then looked at Lin Yuan, then at the cores.
Are you taking the college entrance exam this year?
"Um."
"Lin Yuan, the one who came in first place?"
"……Um."
The buyer silently kept his head down and continued sorting the crystal cores, muttering "No wonder."
The materials ultimately sold for a little over 320,000 yuan. Lin Yuan looked at the bank's notification of the deposit and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
Adding his previous balance and the 45 he earned from the arena, his account now has a balance of over 460 million.
He replenished his supply of Rejuvenation Pills in the pill section. The shopkeeper, seeing Lin Yuan, smiled and said, "Young man, it's you again! How many do you need this time?"
Lin Yuan thought for a moment. The college entrance exam was over, and he didn't know what he would encounter on the way to Shanghai. It was always good to stock up.
So I bought four more bottles.
During this time, Lin Yuan chatted with the boss and asked about the huge statue in the lobby on the first floor.
"Oh, which statue are you? The creature depicted on that statue is a demon from the underground demon cave in Hangzhou, called the Shadow Abyss Wolf!"
The boss stood up, handed the pills to Lin Yuan, and continued:
"It is said that this statue was brought out of the Demon Cave by the Superpower Association, but after research, it was found to be useless, so it was placed in this hall to inspire the superpowered people."
......
After buying the pills, he left the trading market and strolled around the streets.
My eyes were drawn to a decent-looking men's clothing store. The mannequin in the window was wearing a dark gray casual jacket with a clean and sharp cut.
Then he saw a small sign at the entrance that read, "There are shower rooms on the second floor of this store. They are free to use if you spend a certain amount."
Lin Yuan stood at the store entrance for a full five seconds.
Then he pushed the door open and entered with unprecedented speed.
Forty minutes later.
The shop door opened again, and the person who came out was completely different from the one who had just gone in.
The man who just went in was a wild man with messy hair, several tears in his black clothes, a large burlap sack on his back, and a body that reeked of a mixture of blood and sweat.
The person who came out was a tall, slender boy with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and a height of 1.82 meters with snow-white skin.
He changed into a casual black outfit popular among young people, and also took a light-colored spare set to change into.
The two outfits weren't cheap, but I just got over 300,000 yuan in my account, so I didn't feel bad spending them.
The number of passersby turning their heads to look at the building skyrocketed. One girl was walking and looking back so much that she almost bumped into a utility pole.
Lin Yuan kept his eyes straight ahead, but an uncontrollable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Looks like he really is handsome," he thought to himself, then expressionlessly opened the door of a hover taxi.
"Driver, to the hotel."
When I got back to the hotel, the clock in the lobby pointed to 9:10.
The girl with round-framed glasses was still sitting at the front desk. When she saw him come in, she was clearly stunned for a moment, the kind of stunned that said, "I feel like I've seen this person somewhere before."
Lin Yuanchong nodded to her and stepped into the elevator.
The moment the elevator doors closed, he took out his phone and sent a message to Shen Man.
"Teacher Shen, I went to the trading market today to buy a spatial ring, but I almost gave up because of the prices. The smallest one costs over three million. Do you think my S-level privileges even include a spatial ring?"
About ten seconds later, Shen Man's reply arrived.
It's not text, it's a voice message.
Lin Yuan clicked on the phone, and Shen Man's lazy voice came through the receiver.
"Yes, didn't I tell you? It's a standard S-class freshman's spatial ring, with a capacity roughly the size of a small room. What's the rush? I'll give it to you when we get to Shanghai."
Don't buy things randomly; with your current wealth, you can't afford anything good. Pay for your own bubble tea.
Then another one.
"Congratulations on getting first place. I'll reimburse you for Zidian when you arrive in Shanghai."
Lin Yuan was originally going to complain about Shen Man not telling him that the S-level treatment included a space ring.
But when he heard that Zidian's expenses would be reimbursed, Lin Yuan grinned.
When he reached the top floor, the elevator doors opened, he found his room, swiped his card, and pushed the door open.
The room has already been cleaned.
The sheets had been changed, the curtains were half drawn, and moonlight streamed in through the other half of the window.
He placed Zidian against the side of the bed, then flopped onto the bed.
The mattress bounced twice, making a muffled thud.
At that moment, he remembered Meng Hao's words: "Seeing you reminds me of someone."
Meng Hao didn't say who that person was.
But that tone carried a hint of regret, a touch of nostalgia, and something else that was hard to define.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan simply stopped thinking about it and closed his eyes.
......
The moon outside the window is a little redder than before.
