Chapter 104: The Fifteenth Week

For most students at First University, the fifteenth week of school is a bit boring.

The moon hunt is gone, and the new year is still early. On this week, neither early nor late, there are no special traditional holidays or additional statutory holidays, no interesting activities organized by schools or student unions, and no long-rumored beast tides pouring into schools from the silent forest to unleash their horrors.

In one sentence, it can be described as 'plain and lackluster'.

And for the students of the Astronomy 08-1 class, the only thing worth talking about this week is that the public-funded student in their class, who is good at talismans, began to wear sunglasses for some reason.

A pair of bony frames, wide sunglasses with pure black lenses - whether it is class, eating, or morning exercises, the young government student always wears these sunglasses on his face - and it looks so rough that it almost covers half of his face.

More than one person had curiously asked Zheng Qing why he suddenly started wearing glasses.

But the young scholarship students always laughed and remained silent on the issue. However, when several wizards in the same dormitory as him mentioned it, they were quite interested.

It's just that when everyone summed it up afterwards, they found that each of them had different statements.

For example, Dr. Xiao's explanation is that Zheng Qing is practicing an advanced divination technique, which is said to have been passed down from Master Guiguzi's 'blind school' fortune-telling method - this spell requires a deep experience of 'blindness' to be practiced successfully - and Zheng Qing wears sunglasses to improve the efficiency of practicing this divination.

And Xin Fatzi's rhetoric is somewhat similar to Xiao Xiao's, but it is different in specific subjects.

"Brother Qing'er's talisman drawing skills have reached a bottleneck," the fat man explained to the classmate who asked him about it: "You know, he has already mastered all the 1,296 standard runes announced by the Wizarding Alliance, which is more than most registered wizards! You know, according to the standards of the Wizarding Alliance, registered wizards only need to learn more than 300 runes." ”

"What he needs now is a breakthrough!"

"Breakthrough, you know?"

"Even with his eyes closed, he can also sketch the level of standard runes in one fell swoop! He is now wearing sunglasses, which is to slowly adapt to drawing runes in low light, and lay a solid foundation for further breakthroughs in the future!"

Compared with the first two roommates of Jiuyou Academy, the explanation given by the last student from Star Academy in dormitory 403 was even more bizarre.

"He needs to change his image. At a private gathering, Dylan explained to a curious witch, "You know, the Nine Colleges are all nerds, maybe they know what targets the elven rebels attacked when they invaded Jinling Fang in late May 1645, maybe they could talk about the thirty-six main uses of dragon's blood with their fingers crossed, maybe they could write three common incantations in five minutes." ”

"But they don't know anything about 'image engineering'. ”

"Few of them know if the golden cufflinks can match the gray robe, whether the red belt will look rustic with a black cover of the Dharma book, and how to smile to squeeze out beautiful nasolabial folds. ”

"In the next Bucai, Xi is Zheng Qing's latest image planner...... I think he has a lot of exposure at school. What he needs now is mystery...... Mystery, you know? That's the greatest attraction of magic!"

"You don't have to rely on cold rejection or reticence to create this image. He also needs some external tricks. For example, a pair of sunglasses. ”

It must be admitted that these true and false explanations have diverted everyone's attention very well - most of the time, everyone will shift from the topic of the sunglasses worn by Zheng Qing to whether Guiguzi's 'blind school' divination really exists, how more than 1,200 runes should be memorized, and what are the differences between the faces of different nasolabial folds, and so on.

And Zheng Qing often takes this opportunity to slip away quietly, leaving the rest of the trouble to his partners behind him.

Yes, trouble.

He has a whole bunch of things to worry about right now.

For example, a pair of red, ruby-like eyes. According to the general public perception in the wizarding world, this is the eyeball that only pure-blooded demons have. If someone appeared on the streets of Beta with such a pair of eyes, he would be smashed with seven or eight curses and eight or nine traps in less than five minutes.

Ever since he walked around the lake with Elena last weekend, and then returned to the dormitory with such a pair of red eyes, he was almost smashed half to death by the other three people with a spell - fortunately, those elves sacrificed their lives to save the young public scholarship students, and let the doctor and others throw a mouse trap, giving him a chance to explain.

Another example is his 'abnormal mental condition'. According to the judgment of Xiao Xiao and the little monk Shi Yuan, since the school hunt, Zheng Qing's mental state has tended to be sensitive and changeable, using traditional terms is 'easy to be invaded by demons', and in modern terms, it is 'schizophrenia sequelae'.

The recent encounter on the shores of Linzhong Lake also confirms this. In the diagnosis report on Zheng Qing's 'abnormal pink eye', which is a professional term specially constructed for Zheng Qing by the school's therapists, the school hospital made it very clear that his relatively fragile mental condition was the indirect cause of this condition, and advised him to try to maintain a happy and calm state of mind.

Although Zheng Qing has been carefully reciting the "Many Heart Sutras" taught by Shi Yuan every day, the illness is like a thread, and the mental damage is more difficult to repair than the damage of the external body.

In addition, some time ago, because of the 'cheating' rumors that won the freshman championship in the school hunting competition, although they have gradually disappeared, there are still people looking for trouble from time to time and want to step on them to get on the throne;

Life is so 'colorful' that the young public-funded students are tired and bent over.

Even so, he strode in the direction of death, not afraid to add another burden to his back.

"How's your investigation going?" Zheng Qing sat on a window seat on the second floor of the Shushan Pavilion, tilting his head and looking at the sparkling Linzhong Lake, while lazily asking Dr. Xiao next to him: "My D area 1-2 to 1-9 have been checked, and there is nothing new to discover...... These seven rows of bookshelves are all about herbs, and all the information related to 'Linzhong Lake' is about the types of potions in the lake and how to collect them. ”
