In the core area, in a luxurious villa.

Ding Jin sat on the sofa in the living room with a big smile, drinking tea without saying a word, while Ding Beiye next to him lowered his head, looking restless, completely lacking his usual arrogant and domineering demeanor.

After a long time, a capable young man walked into the living room, walked quickly to Ding Jin's side, and whispered a few words.

After hearing this, Ding Jin waved his hand to let the young man leave, and then said coldly: "Wu Weilin's body has been found." ”

"He's dead?" Ding Beiye was stunned, "Yes, Lin Ze killed him?"

"The cause of death was a cut in the throat by a sharp blade, and judging from the wound, there is no doubt that it was a white knife. ”

"But, but Wu Weilin is a second-level swordsmith, how could Lin Ze kill him?"

"Hmph, someone in the Knife Forger Guild saw Lin Ze exchange the worm core of 14 elite steel soldier insects, it is obvious that he already has second-level strength. ”

Ding Beiye's face was full of shock, and he was speechless for a while.

Seeing this, Ding Jin glared at him with hatred: "It's just that you let Wu Weilin deal with Lin Ze without authorization, but you didn't even know the strength of the opponent and acted rashly, and lost a second-level sword casting master in vain, it is really more than enough to succeed!"

"I—How could I have ......?"

"Looks like I used to be too indulgent with you!"

Ding Jin waved his hand to interrupt him, "Don't worry about this matter, concentrate on the graduation assessment first, if you fail again this year, I will throw you to the security team of the ordinary district, so that you don't have to worry about seeing you every day." ”

"No, no, uncle, this time I am confident, I will apply for the assessment in a few days!"

Ding Beiye was taken aback, and hurriedly patted his chest and assured that the security team in the ordinary district was composed of ordinary people, and if he really joined it, it would mean that he would have no chance with the knife forger in his life, and he didn't expect to step into the upper class.

But after saying this, he was a little unwilling, and hesitated: "But uncle, just let Lin Ze go like that?"

"What are you anxious about?" Ding Jin glared at Ding Beiye dissatisfiedly, and the latter suddenly shrank his head, "No matter how good Lin Ze's talent is, it won't be a matter of time or a half if he wants to forge a soul knife, as long as he is still a trainee knife caster, it is not easier for us to kill him than to crush an ant?"

"What's more, he's only a registered member of the Knife Casting Guild, and he hasn't been able to redeem the knife casting formula until now, when I'm done with this matter and I'm free, I'll naturally clean him up!

"Yes, yes, uncle!"

......

The second time he went out to hunt insects and beasts, Lin Ze learned the lesson of insufficient food before, and replaced all the dry food with nutritional paste.

Although the taste of the nutritional paste is difficult to swallow, it is rich in energy, and a small tube is enough to support the consumption of half a day.

So in addition to carrying clean water, Lin Ze used all the remaining positions of the tactical backpack to hold the nutrient paste, which was enough to support his consumption in the ruins of the city for more than ten days.

After arriving at the ruins of C7 City, Lin Ze immediately began to hunt the Steel Soldier Worm.

After the strength has increased significantly, he no longer has to carefully lure the steel soldier insects, unless it is a swarm of more than thirty insects, he needs to use the terrain to roam and kill them one by one, otherwise the small-scale insect swarm is directly killed head-on, and the hunting efficiency is greatly improved.

By the eleventh day, when the food was on the verge of running out, the white knife's steel-attribute soul energy had increased to 34.95%, which was only a little short of the 36% required by the Red Lotus formula.

Back in the house in the ghetto, Lin Ze directly quit the game.

In reality, it has come to the beginning of December, the weather is still a little muggy, and the traditional winter in the south has failed.

Lin Ze carried a shoulder bag and walked on the way to the library.

After getting the cultivation series of games, his rhythm of life has not changed much, most of the time it is the dormitory, the teaching building and the library, and only in the dead of night, he will log in to the magical game to practice and adventure, or fight monsters in the park under the dark.

Since killing that tentacle monster, Lin Ze has not found any other monsters.

From time to time, he will search for some local urban legends or supernatural phenomena on the Internet, but unfortunately most of them are fake, and the remaining suspected monsters are infested, and it is quite difficult to verify.

"Maybe I should start with one of the more famous supernatural forums?"

While thinking, Lin Ze unconsciously arrived at the library, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw a similar figure sitting not far away, looking down intently to read a book.

When I looked closely, it was Chen Yuxuan!

Seeing this, Lin Ze was slightly surprised.

Chen Yuxuan's grades are at the top of the finance department, but Lin Ze has basically never seen her in the library, so she should belong to the kind of student who can get good grades even if she doesn't study much.

Out of consideration for not wanting to disturb the other party, Lin Ze didn't step forward to greet Chen Yuxuan, but just glanced at the name of the book she was reading when she passed by.

"The Seven Deadly Sins", and "The Divine Comedy".

"It's really a niche book. Lin Ze said secretly in his heart, thoughtful.

The time for studying always passed quickly, and when he came back to his senses, it was already twelve o'clock at noon, Lin Ze touched his hungry stomach, closed the book and prepared to go to lunch.

Chen Yuxuan has left for no apparent time.

Walking out of the library, Lin Ze thought for a moment, gave up the plan to go to the cafeteria, and instead left the school, took the bus to the city, and was ready to treat himself.

Although the food eaten in "Wasteland World" can't affect reality, but after eating nutritional paste for eleven days in a row in the game, that experience is really indescribable, Lin Ze now thinks about it, and he still feels that his mouth is full of the strange taste of nutritional paste.

He desperately needs to offset the shadow of the nourishing paste with good food!

The city is very close to the school, but the bus arrives at the station in about 10 minutes.

In fact, it is an urban area, but it is actually just a lively pedestrian street, and because it is located near the school, there are many college students who come here to shop and eat.

After getting out of the car, Lin Ze wandered around, looking for a target for lunch.

As a result, it didn't take long to go, and I actually met Chen Yuxuan again.

She and a boy stood on the side of the road, the two seemed to be talking about something, Chen Yuxuan's face was calm, on the other hand, the boy was excited, and his arms kept waving while talking, which made people wonder if he would suddenly burst out and beat people in the next second.

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Ze still stepped forward, first glanced at the boy, and then asked Chen Yuxuan, "Do you need help?"

Seeing Lin Ze, Chen Yuxuan was a little surprised in her eyes, but she still shook her head and said in a low voice: "Thank you, he is my friend." ”

The boy also calmed down at this time, glared at Lin Ze, and turned to leave.

Looking at his back, Chen Yuxuan sighed lightly and turned her head to look at Lin Ze: "Thank you!"

Finally, he was surprised, "Are you coming to the pedestrian street alone?"

"Hmm. ”

"It's just right, I didn't have lunch, if you don't mind, I'll invite you to dinner, as a thank you for your help last time!"

Lin Ze had no choice but to nod and agree.

A moment later, Chen Yuxuan led him to a noodle restaurant.

The noodle restaurant is not large, just a small restaurant that can be seen everywhere, but there are many customers, it is already full of people, a hot scene, and there is a queue of more than ten people outside the gate.

"This noodle restaurant has recently become famous in the university town. Chen Yuxuan said, "I heard that there is nothing unique in the taste, but it can make people can't stop eating, and many people eat three or four bowls of noodles in a row until their stomachs can't hold it anymore." ”

"So peculiar?"

Lin Ze raised his eyebrows in surprise, vaguely remembering that Qin Sheng seemed to have mentioned this noodle restaurant, and the latter was also overwhelmed at that time, and he almost couldn't walk.

The two chatted while waiting in line.

Although the queue is not long, the speed at which the space is vacated is extremely slow, and Lin Ze saw with his own eyes that many people were about to run out of food, but they still stuffed the noodles into their mouths one by one, like hungry ghosts, which was incredible.

waited for almost an hour before it was finally Lin Ze and Chen Yuxuan's turn.

As soon as he stepped into the noodle shop, Lin Ze's expression suddenly moved, and he felt the strange aura that permeated the air.

It's the smell of monsters!
