"Gollum-"

The test tube in Ji Yan's hand was bubbling with tiny bubbles.

This is another mystical reagent whose utility is to facilitate the operation of its own mystical powers.

The bright sunlight poured through the glass on the test bench, carrying a bit of warmth.

A few days ago, there was a slight chill in the autumn rains, but it didn't take long for the scorching temperatures to return.

The bubbles in the tube became less and less frequent, until they were completely calmed down and became a faint purple color.

Ji Yan placed it in the sun, and the reagent scattered a bit of brilliant brilliance.

Mysterious reagent, successfully made.

He took out the box containing the reagents and carefully placed them inside.

This is related to the usual score, so it is natural to be cautious.

After Ji Yan did everything, he looked at the podium in front of him, which was empty, and the people who had been sitting there in the past were nowhere to be seen.

Professor Salrom apparently didn't come to the lab today, and Victor said he seemed to have something going on.

……

Blue Mountain Cafe.

The gray wall is covered with vines, and although it is autumn, it does not show the color of withered yellow at all, and it is still green and straight.

The breeze blows, and the branches and leaves sway.

The sound of the piano wafted out of the inner room, with a hint of melodiousness and laziness.

"Smack!"

It was the sound of sugar cubes falling into the coffee, but it didn't make a splash, as if it was still.

A silver spoon stirred slowly in the white cup, forming a swirl.

"Have you really made up your mind not to go back?"

Some flirtatious male voices break the good quiet atmosphere of the café.

A man shook the coffee in his hand and asked his friend across from him.

The man looked like he was about thirty or forty years old, and his face was handsome.

My friend touched the top of his head with his hand, thought for a moment, and then replied with a smile, "Of course." ”

The man was probably satisfied with this answer, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

"How long have you been out of there, what is there to go back to?"

He took a sip of his coffee and smiled at his friend.

"Not really, I still miss it a lot."

Professor Salom had a look on his face and struggled to choose between white sugar and sugar cubes, and in the end, he chose white sugar.

"Judging by the way you look, you're going to be promoted to Morning Star." The man was a little curious about this.

"Hmm...... It should be soon. Professor Salrom said, pouring a large amount of granulated sugar into his coffee.

Hearing this, the man pursed his lips, but not for Professor Salom.

"Someone must have been looking for you these days."

"I didn't keep you when I squeezed you out before, but now it's okay."

"Seeing that you are going to be promoted to Morning Star, one or two have come to the door, right?"

The man continued to drink the coffee in his hand, looking out of the glass window, his tone a little dissatisfied.

Outside the window, there is a green shade, and there are several figures walking around.

This is one of the more famous cafes in the imperial capital, the place is quiet and stylishly decorated, and drinking coffee here is a pleasure.

That's why many people want to drink a special cup of coffee here.

However, the number of seats at the Blue Mountains Cafe is limited per day, and reservations are required.

And because of the privilege in his hands, men can guarantee a cup of coffee here from time to time.

"I'm so envious."

The man's factor content is only 0.9 now, and he is still a little far from the realm where the mysterious factor and himself are integrated.

Obviously, they all cultivated with him, but now he is about to be promoted to Morning Star, and he is far from even reaching the threshold of 1.

Why is there such a big gap between people?

The man no longer wants to go down, he is afraid of hitting his self-confidence again.

"There's nothing to envy, I was able to get to the threshold of the Morning Star or a student helped me."

Professor Salrom said with a smile, taking a sip of coffee by the way, feeling the mellow and sweet taste in his mouth, and couldn't help but squint.

"Haha, hearing you say that, I envy you even more."

The man laughed.

"By the way, you didn't run out."

Professor Salom looked at the man with some curiosity.

He and the man were both from the army, and he was excluded because he took the initiative to resign.

And what about men?

"You've been stuck here at 1, and I've been stuck at 0.9, those broken nobles, just because I don't have the so-called noble bloodline, think I'm in the way of my position."

“*****！”

The man was a commoner and had a mysterious talent to enter the army.

He couldn't help but complain in front of his friends, and when he scolded the nobles, he suddenly remembered that his friends were also nobles.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scold you."

Professor Salom knew the friend's temper, so he didn't take it to heart.

"So where are you now?"

"The secret department of the empire is not only well paid, but also has various hidden benefits." The man shrugged. "Except for the fact that it's a little bit more risky, everything is fine."

Professor Salome looked at his friend who pretended to be indifferent with a complicated expression, and he didn't know how to comfort him for a while.

Now there is no war between the empires at all, and the army has become one of the gilded places for most of the children of the nobility, and the safety factor is extremely high.

But the secret department of the empire is different, the welfare package is good, but the casualty rate once reached 70 percent, and joining in is equivalent to stepping into the grave with half a foot.

"Oh, by the way, I almost got myself and got down to business."

The man finished his coffee and put it on the table, and he now lived the life he hated the most.

"Our boss wants to invite you to join the Secret Department, starting out as a managerial class."

The tone is a little sour, I have been working for so long, and I am only a second-level staff, and there is still a first-level staff member from the management.

And Professor Salom's initial stage was beyond his reach.

Professor Salrom said that he would think about it when he went back, which was tantamount to a disguised refusal.

"So be it, I'll pass on your will to the boss then."

The man got up and said goodbye to his friend.

As soon as I left the door of the coffee shop, I received a message.

"What, let me go to the slums and wipe the ass of the nobles?"

The man's face was gloomy and he pointed to the steps in front of him.

"I, even if I jump from here, I won't go!"
