Chapter 315

"Attack high, defend low." A very soft voice reached the ears of the Great Herta.

"Chen Li, who are you saying has a high attack and a low defense?!" The Great Herta, who had been burying his head in his food, slammed his fist on the table and stood up angrily.

You've already seen it, so why the mockery?!

"I didn't say anything," Chen Li said innocently.

"Who is that...?"

"Uh, we were talking about the kobolds of Aincrad, what's wrong?" Sirin said in a low voice, startled.

"It's nothing..." Great Herta sat back down.

"Lies don't hurt, but the truth is the sharpest knife." This time, it was indeed Chen Li who said it.

Upon hearing this, he stared intently at Chen Li's Great Herta, and then suddenly burst out laughing after three seconds.

Okay, okay, high offense, low defense, right?

Chen Li, you just wait!

I'll show you what it means to only attack and never defend.

The Great Herta rested his chin on his left hand, smiling as he watched Chen Li eat breakfast. Then he broke the porcelain plate in half with his bare hands and placed it on Chen Li's plate.

"I'm full, you can finish the rest for me," said the Great Herta as he placed the pieces of his own food, which he had only eaten a few bites of, onto Chen Li's plate.

"...Okay." Chen Li nodded.

"By the way, Chen Li, if I remember correctly, you planned to modify the Cocoon of Eternity in the First Civilization Era only after the Stigmata Game of the Second Civilization Era began its trial run, right?" The Great Herta suddenly asked a question.

"That's right. After all, we'll only know what problems the Stigmata Game might have after it's actually implemented, so we can avoid repeating the mistakes of the First Civilization Era. So the Second Civilization Era is like a test server." Chen Li nodded.

"How many days do you need?"

"It could take three to five days, or even a month or two. After all, problems take time to surface," Chen Li, elegantly eating from his plate.

"That's been a while... I remember your Civilization Value can accelerate the development of civilization, right? Just like in Najenda's world."

"That's not wrong, so what?"

"Let's discuss something. In the Second Civilization Era, let's speed things up so that the problems can be exposed as soon as possible, and then quickly transform the Cocoon of Eternity in the First Civilization Era."

"It's possible? But isn't this something that can't be rushed?" Chen Li wondered why the Great Herta had suddenly brought up this issue.

"But I'm in a hurry."

What's your rush?

"Eager to do something interesting."

"Huh? The Great Herta... what are you going to do?!"

"Nothing, I just wanted to do something."

"No, at least not inside the Cocoon of Eternity... No, it won't work even if it's not inside the Cocoon of Eternity!"

"What are you talking about? I don't understand." The Great Herta blinked, seemingly puzzled.

"Yeah, Chen Li, what are you talking about?" Sirin blinked, her face genuinely full of confusion.

"Actually... I just felt that once the flaws in the rules of the Stigmata Game from the Second Civilization Era are exposed, Chen Li will definitely have many problems to solve, and I might be able to assist him from the sidelines and help him correct these problems. I only have time recently, so I want him to do this as soon as possible," the Great Herta explained.

"Oh... I want to come too!"

"No, your knowledge is not enough to help Chen Li. But I can give you a sense of participation."

How do I participate?

"For example... record a video to cheer on Chen Li."

Holding his rice bowl, Chen Li felt that Great Herta seemed to have said something very profound.

But Chen Li wasn't worried.

Although the Great Herta's words and actions have been logical so far.

But this is reality, and reality doesn't follow logic; only novels do.

The Great Herta? Just a talkative girl.

Chapter 272 Star: I want to learn how to Backup Hidden Energy Source! Take out the Stellaron and explode it with them! (9K) "Chen Li, are you leaving?" Cecilia suddenly called out to Chen Li he finished eating the plate in front of him and was getting up.

"Yeah, what's wrong? Don't say anything, let me guess... You want to mention inviting Kiana and Durandal to stay at your house for a couple of days? No problem!"

"No... but it could be."

"Looks like I guessed wrong... Then I guess you're just bored."

Upon hearing Chen Li's guess, Sirin also looked at Cecilia.

Staying at home is boring... well, it might actually be a bit boring.

"No. It's that you have an acceptance letter." Cecilia was afraid that if she nodded, Sirin next to her would burst into tears.

This is what children who lack love are like.

"Huh, who will be accepted? Me?" Chen Li was taken aback.

"Yes, it's you. This is the letter the messenger delivered yesterday. It seems to be from a very prestigious school in this world." Cecilia took a letter out of her apron.

"Oh, right, I'm still a student!" Chen Li suddenly realized after receiving the notice.

"Students are useless too, students still get punished... cough cough, are you a student?"

"Great Herta, I wasn't playing role-playing games with you." Chen Li couldn't help but roll his eyes at Great Herta.

Please, don't blurt out anything offensive.

"Uh, never mind then. So, are you going to enroll? Why don't you come find me? I can be your teacher, mentor, guide, and confidante all at once."

"... These are two different things. This invitation comes from the Jixia Academy, the oldest and most famous school in the world."

That's right, Chen Li received another Jixia Academy invitation.

Chen Li's only impression of the Jixia Academy invitation was that every time he received it, it would randomly attract someone who wanted to enter the Jixia Academy, challenge him, and then... "give" him some good things.

"So, you want to enroll?"

"No, I was wondering how brilliant the entries would be if we burned down the Jixia Academy?" Chen Li pondered.

Just as Chen Li said, this is the oldest school in Shenzhou, or even the entire Earth.

The entry must be really interesting!

"... Then this school is really lucky to have invited such a treasure."

"Even if you praise me like that, I won't be happy," Chen Li said, a little embarrassed.

"I wasn't praising you at all!" the Great Herta said irritably.

Someone invites you to study, and you turn around and burn the school down, achieving a dream that many students could never have in their entire lives, right?

"So Chen Li, are you going to school?"

"I'm not going." Chen Li walked to his storage room, took out a box, opened it, and put the invitation inside.

"So many... identical invitations." Sirin, who peeked over, was somewhat surprised.

"They're not the same. Some are logistics-related invitations, some are full-service invitations, some are investigator invitations, and some are invitations to just sit around and wait to die."

"Wait, I can understand the first three, but what does the last one mean?"

"The official name is the Jixia Academy Honorary Invitation Letter. It means that because my parents have made great contributions to this world, but their whereabouts are now unknown, as their only son, I am qualified to enter the Jixia Academy to loaf around and get a diploma once I reach the age of enrollment."

"... That makes sense. But wait, aren't your aunt and uncle still alive?"

"Yes, so it's just that their whereabouts are unknown, not that they're dead. I currently have a total of 14 Jixia Academy invitation, 10 of which are invitations to just loaf around and wait to die."

"So that means your aunt and uncle went missing 10 times?"

"It wasn't just 10 times, but after I disappeared 10 times, they stopped giving me invitations." Chen Li shook his head.

Damn it! My parents disappeared of their own accord, so why didn't you send me an invitation?!

Chen Li really felt it was a pity at the time, because the Jixia Academy invitation was really suitable for spawning.

Those who want Jixia Academy invitation are usually incompetent, playful, and not very bright, making them easy targets.

Because those who are truly capable wouldn't even consider getting into university through this method.

"But seeing this invitation reminded me of something... What about Tonghua? Has she disappeared?"

"That's really rude of you. What do you mean I've disappeared? I'm online every day, okay? I'm currently on the Xianzhou, seeing if there's any Path that will favor me, and maybe I'll get Exclusive Profession!"

"Wait a minute, aren't you the Tonghua Evil God? Logically speaking, you should be in sync with the Path of Remembrance, so why are you so slow?"

"Hey, you're a real genius! I actually got a glimpse from the Aeon of Remembrance, but wasn't I thinking of getting a few more Path?" said the petite and cute blonde girl on the other end of the video, who was wearing a red hat and had her legs crossed.

For Tonghua, the Tonghua Evil God, the Path of Remembrance is a job, while the other Paths are life.

Because Tonghua now want to broaden the range of abilities.

"I see."

"Speaking of which, after I received a glimpse from the Aeon of Remembrance yesterday, guess who I ran into?"

"Who?"

"Black Swan".

"Pfft."

Why are you laughing?

"Sorry, I have a condition that makes me want to laugh whenever I hear the name Black Swan."

"You're so rude..." Tonghua muttered under her breath.

I never imagined that I would smile when I saw the Black Swan yesterday.

"Ahem, so what did she want with you?"

"She invited me to join the Flowing Light Memory Court as Memokeepers. After I refused her yesterday, she said she would come again today. By the way... do you want me to help you catch the Black Swan?" Tonghua suddenly remembered something.

"Why would I catch Black Swan?" Chen Li asked, puzzled.

Chen Li has no grudge against Black Swan.

[To knock the Black Swan to her knees with a single punch, it's clear that he intends to...]

"Punch her until she kneels, drag her back to the room and exploit her severely. Memokeepers, these beings that exist as memes, they must have entries on them! Maybe they themselves are entries," Tonghua said.

"That makes some sense... but never mind. Black Swans don't seem to have any bad intentions..."

It's just something that makes people want to laugh when they see it.

She's so sexy, so big, and wearing such black stockings... God knows why she leaves such an impression.

Is this also a type of meme?

That's terrifying!

Even I got infected!

"All right."

"So, fairy tale, do you need to slay magical creatures now?"

"Can we forge this Miraculous Item yet? I was asking Lily Bell yesterday, and she said she's still working on increasing the brightness of the affix, but because she often accidentally cuts down the Little Evil God with other weapons, the brightness of the God Slayer affix on the chainsaw hasn't been able to go up." Tonghua said that she has been paying close attention to this matter.

The Little Evil God is like this: because he has a habit of courting death and is good at provoking others (especially Lily Bell), he can always make Lily Bell instantly furious. And when Lily Bell gets angry, she forgets that she has to kill the Little Evil God with a chainsaw...

"Don't worry about that, because I've already completed the Novice Task (six) and obtained the professional skill [Stacking], which allows me to stack similar terms to increase brightness," Chen Li said.

Reputation: Lv4 (27/400)

Hey, Chen Li's hard work these past two days has paid off! As of just now, his reputation has increased by a full 120 points compared to the last time I checked, successfully bringing his reputation level to lv4. This also unlocks the Novice Task (7).

[He punched Ouroboros with the Preservation Aeon, used the Amber King to force the Interastral Peace Corporation to protect the entire galaxy, captured the powerful Incubator Civilization 16 times in a row, turned a Game World from illusion into reality, spread the aura of his the Hunt in another world to capture all the red-named players in the world, caused the Herta Space Station to go berserk and beat up the Doomsday Beast with the Astral Express... He really worked hard.]

The Pixie seemed to be making sarcastic remarks, but Chen Li was more troubled by the new Novice Task content.
