I Want to Raise a Seele...

Divine Grace? Stargazing? Or perhaps a support character like Xiao Shi who can wipe out the entire enemy team?

In short, in this game, only damage is the ultimate god; everything else is insignificant.

Of course, this is just in a game, but in the real world, both attack speed and movement speed are very important. The only problem is that the trigger condition is a bit strict; you have to dodge within 0.5 seconds of being attacked to call it a perfect dodge...

That's definitely extreme.

I feel it's not very useful. After all, the real world isn't a game. In a game, being attacked only reduces your health, and if you can't win, you can try to recover. But in the real world, taking even one hit might already decide the outcome of the battle.

So, it feels useful, but it's not really useful, since the triggering conditions are a bit tricky.

"Fine, I'll make do. I can always go back to Sakura to get the engraving done later."

After drawing his seal, Ling Xi continued to listen to the lesson, but he was somewhat disappointed with the seal he had drawn today.

We can only wait and see if we can get a new seal from Sakura later.

I've had the Infinite Imprint for over half a month now, so why haven't I triggered the option to get the imprint a second time?

While the hidden effects of the Infinite Imprint are indeed impressive, I want to unlock more and stronger Imprints. After all, you can only use one set of artifacts, but Imprints can be stacked infinitely. Once I've collected all twelve Flame-Chasing Moths Imprints, I'll ask Elysia for my own set...

Under heaven, who dares to fight me? Um... except for the Finality!

"Seele".

At noon, still downstairs in the teaching building, Ling Xi successfully found Seele, who was waiting for her.

Why is it so slow today?

Upon seeing Ling Xi, Seele seemed somewhat displeased, as Ling Xi had arrived about two minutes later than usual.

"Sorry, sorry, something came up and I was held up."

Ling Xi could only smile and apologize, while reaching out to hold Seele's hand as usual.

"Snort..."

As a result, Seele raised her hand and directly avoided Ling Xi.

Ling Xi "..."

"Hmph, idiot..."

Seele called her an idiot, then grabbed Ling Xi's wrists with both hands, placed Ling Xi's hands on her waist, hugged her lower back, and snorted, "If you're late again next time, don't come hug me. Go hug your lab's Mobius instead. She'll be very happy."

Ling Xi: "..." I really would never make such a request in my entire life...

Well, of course Ling Xi wouldn't dare tell Seele the truth, since she actually sleeps with the Doctor every night.

"Seele, let's go out to eat today."

Of course, Ling Xi did not forget the main matter. At the latest, the Doctor would have to lead everyone to evacuate in less than ten days, and she had to persuade Seele within this period of time. Naturally, such a thing could not be discussed in the environment of the academy cafeteria.

"Yes, that's fine."

Seele would never disagree with Ling Xi on such trivial matters, unless it was something she particularly wanted to eat.

Ten minutes later, in a private room of an upscale restaurant...

"Hey... we're just having lunch, do we really need to come to a place like this? And a private room at that..."

Seele, sitting on the chair, seemed somewhat speechless. When Ling Xi suggested eating out, she hadn't realized the seriousness of the situation. It was only after Ling Xi brought her to this upscale restaurant that she gradually realized something was amiss...

"It's okay, it won't cost much, and..."

Ling Xi gestured for Seele not to get excited and smiled slightly, "I'm not usually like this. Today, I found a quiet place because I have something very important to tell Seele."

Important things...

Upon hearing those words, Seele instantly realized something, after all...

Important things, a quiet, private place to be together, plus... their current relationship.

Immediately, Seele blushed slightly. She secretly glanced at Ling Xi and saw that Ling Xi was ordering food from the menu. When she saw that Ling Xi seemed to be looking at her, she quickly looked away.

"Seele ..."

"Seele?"

"Seele!"

"Huh? Eh... wh... what's wrong?"

Ling Xi called out three times before Seele reacted, looking at Ling Xi with some panic.

"What are you daydreaming about? Order some food!"

Ling Xi smiled and handed the menu to Seele, "This restaurant serves Shenzhou cuisine, so it should have something you like. Take a look and see what you'd like to eat?"

"Hmm... whatever... whatever."

At this moment, Seele was preoccupied with what Ling Xi might say next, so she had no interest in ordering food and simply left it to Ling Xi.

"All right."

Seeing that Seele declined, Ling Xi didn't try to persuade her further. She took the menu and added two more dishes: a small portion of spicy chicken and boiled fish, both of which were Seele's favorite flavors.

"Seele".

After ordering, Ling Xi poured Seele a glass of lemonade and said with a smile, "Why do you seem a little distracted? Don't you like it here?"

"Huh? No... no, I just..."

Seele scratched her head awkwardly and laughed, "It's nothing, I'm just... a little tired."

"Are you tired...? I'll take you home after we finish eating."

Ling Xi didn't think much of Seele's answer. After all, she was a girl, and it was normal for her to be tired after a morning of classes.

"Mmm..."

Seele simply nodded silently...

"By the way, Seele, let's get down to business."

While waiting for the food to be served, Ling Xi decided to get down to business with Seele. He glanced at Seele and said slowly, "Well, Seele, I might have to leave Changkong City in a while."

"Hmm... um?"

Seele was waiting for Ling Xi to say something "important," but instead... this is what you're telling me?

"Oh, do you have to leave again?"

Seele quickly took a sip of lemonade to ease the awkwardness, but Seele wasn't too surprised by Ling Xi's words, after all, Ling Xi had just returned from the Mu Continent a few days ago.

I didn't expect that I would have to go on a business trip again after only a few days.

Thinking about this, Seele was still a little annoyed. The two of them had just kissed yesterday, and now you're telling me you're leaving for a while.

"Forehead..."

Ling Xi touched her forehead and smiled, "Seele, this time when I leave Changkong City, I... may never come back."

Seele: "???"

Chapter 122: I want to raise a Seele...

"Um... wait, what did you just say?"

Upon hearing Ling Xi's words, Seele wondered if she had misheard.

"Well..."

Seele's reaction was actually within Ling Xi's expectations, but since the decision had been made, it was necessary to make things clear. So, after sighing, Ling Xi said with a smile, "I said, this time when I leave Changkong City, I may not come back."

Seele "..."

After confirming that she hadn't misheard, Seele seemed a little conflicted. "Leaving Changkong City... and not coming back? Are you kidding me?"

What... do you mean?

After taking a deep breath, Seele asked, "Why didn't you come back? Can you explain it more clearly?"

Seele knew that Ling Xi wouldn't make such a decision without a reason, so she planned to ask her clearly why Ling Xi had made such a decision.

"Because..."

Ling Xi feigned hesitation, then uttered the lines she had already prepared, laughing, "That conference on the Mu Continent granted Dr. Mobius 10% of the United Nations' resources for the next few years, and these resources will all be used for the Doctor's research, but..."

"Changkong City, although a megacity with a population of tens of millions, is still too remote compared to the Mu Continent. In this city, Mobius cannot obtain resources immediately, nor can she recruit more people, so..."

Ling Xi smiled helplessly, "Dr. Mobius plans to move the laboratory to the Mu Continent, and as her assistant, I will naturally go with her. Moreover, the Doctor plans to give me three times the salary after I go, which is why I said that I might not come back after leaving Changkong City this time."

"This..."

Upon hearing Ling Xi's answer, Seele was momentarily speechless, because...

If Ling Xi only went along because of Mobius, then I could get angry right now, but... Ling Xi was doing it for work too, and I'm not so willful as to make Ling Xi give up this good job for me.

"Then... what about going to school?"

Seele quickly asked the question, since Ling Xi hadn't graduated yet.

Do you think the Mu Continent would lack higher education institutions?

Ling Xi simply smiled and asked Seele, "Although Changkong City is considered a relatively prosperous city in the East, it is obviously not comparable to the Mu Continent. The higher education institutions and education system of the Mu Continent are far superior to those of Changkong City. And with Doctor, wouldn't it be easy for him to enter these schools?"

"..."

Seele fell silent. Indeed, Mobius's power was immense, and it was perfectly normal for Ling Xi to choose to stay by Mobius side.

"So... what did you want to talk to me about today?"

Seele silently watched Ling Xi. At this moment, she had a new idea. Ling Xi was going to the Mu Continent, and she...

So, Ling Xi probably asked me out today to put an end to this matter.

"Well..."

Ling Xi stroked her chin and smiled, "Seele, I'll be going to the Mu Continent soon, and if you continue to stay in Changkong City, it's clearly not suitable for us to continue being together, so..."

Seele "..."

When Ling Xi grabbed Seele's hand, she smiled and said, "Seele, come with me too."

"Huh?"

Seele was completely bewildered. What... did this mean?

"Wait, you... you said... I can come with you?"

At this moment, Seele was completely bewildered. Was Ling Xi inviting her to go to the Mu Continent together? What... what was going on?

"Uh-huh."

Ling Xi and smiled, "After all, given our current situation, it wouldn't be convenient for us to get along if one of us is in the Mu Continent and the other is in Changkong City, right? So... Seele, how about we go to the Mu Continent together?"

"This..."

Seele hesitated for a moment and said, "But I... am a student at the Qianyu Academy now."

"Didn't I just say that there are many advanced schools on the Mu Continent?"

Ling Xi still held Seele's hand, gently tightening it, and smiled, "Moreover, the Doctor has also agreed that as long as Seele is willing, she can go to any school. As for tuition fees, there is no need to worry at all. Mu Continent has long had free education for all citizens, and with Dr. Mobius's recommendation letter, you can go wherever you want."

"But... I'm not familiar with the Mu Continent at all, and..."

Seele said somewhat awkwardly, "The cost of living in the Mu Continent must be higher than in Changkong City, right? My living expenses are so low..."

"It's okay, I'll take care of you."

Ling Xi walked directly behind Seele, gently hugged her, and said with a smile, "After we arrive in the Mu Continent, the Doctor will give me three times my salary. Are you worried that I can't afford to support a little girl like you?"

"How... how can I let you raise me?"

Hearing this, Seele felt a little sweet inside, but she didn't want to become a burden to Ling Xi.

Why not?

Ling Xi retorted decisively, "What's wrong with me spending my own money to support my own girlfriend?"

"Hey... I... I'm not your girlfriend."
