Arad's unruly savior

Chapter 3947 Crazy
The core leaders of the three major scholarly forces in the divine realm, each of whom is capable of easily appearing in newspapers and having their biographies written, including the three leaders who are usually elusive, all appeared in the misty haze. This is an unprecedented event.

Some couldn't help but joke that if the central venue of the Misty Mist were blown up now, the development of the divine realm would stagnate for thirty years.

Since being disciplined by the hermit Kelton, the three major scholar factions have become much more restrained and have begun to try to learn from and be compatible with each other in terms of their ideas, which is slowly producing positive changes.

At the closing ceremony of the Inventors' Conference, inventors who successfully passed multiple rounds of assessments and achieved outstanding results were invited up to receive corresponding honorary certificates, etc.

However, this process fully respects the inventors' personal wishes; if someone does not wish to appear in public or participate in the event, they are free to skip it.

Finally, Laura, the beautiful scholar who judged the beast fangs, appeared and summarized the entire inventors' conference on behalf of everyone.

She fully affirmed the significance of holding this inventors' conference and congratulated all the inventors who had achieved results...

"How could it be Laura? Her status seems a bit lacking." Chimera scratched her head and muttered to herself. Laura is quite capable, but she is young and inexperienced, not comparable to the leaders of the three major scholar factions.

Ye Lin shook his head slightly and smiled, "It's just a summary speech, not something that brings any benefits. There's no need to prioritize seniority or rank people. Otherwise, if the three leaders each talk for half an hour, can you handle it?"

"Moreover, isn't it more enjoyable to hear a beautiful woman with outstanding looks and excellent temperament give a speech than to listen to the rambling of those old men and women?"

"That's true... wait, you can read minds?!" Chimera's eyes widened slightly. She had just said it in her mind, not written it on the board.

"I know a little, I'll teach you later."

After the Inventors' Conference concludes, it's time to celebrate the beginning of the Golden Age of Mist Mechanics in Chongquan. Similar to national holidays in various countries, there will be a holiday, and Mist Mechanics will also invite famous musicians to perform.

Laura on stage was beautiful and elegant, with a graceful demeanor that certainly attracted the audience's attention. Towards the end of her speech, a slightly unnatural expression appeared on her fair face. After pausing for a few seconds, she opened the display case next to her and began to introduce the four sets of commemorative coins, including special commemorative editions.

This marks the only time to date that eight commemorative coins have been issued simultaneously...

Chimera, sitting in the audience, quickly wrote on the whiteboard: "She's started selling products? I remember commemorative coins can be used as money, right?"

It means it's like exchanging money for money; is there any profit in live-streaming e-commerce?

Ye Lin nodded and affirmed:

"As long as the price of the gift box is higher than the actual value of the currency inside, there will definitely be a profit. Moreover, silver and gold coins cannot be used as currency because it is unprecedented. Only the two copper coins have a definite actual value."

"By now, you're probably tired of hearing about the greatness of the Golden Age, the names of certain inventors, and its significance to the progress of human society..."

"But you should also know that a significant portion of inventions were originally conceived for commercial purposes, to make money. Of course, the two are not always in conflict; they are just described in different ways."

Ye Lin brought Chimera's drifting thoughts down to earth. There's no need to start with grand goals like benefiting humanity or advancing society. Just be down-to-earth and take it one step at a time. Making money through inventions is perfectly normal.

As the cannons fired and colorful confetti rained down, the Inventors' Conference officially came to an end, and the entire Chongquan area took the opportunity to enjoy a holiday. As people left the central venue one after another, Chimera immediately looked at his master with a suspicious gaze. Didn't you say you were invited? Why wasn't there a segment where you went up on stage to say a few words?

Ye Lin shrugged and laughed, "I'm not an inventor. I'm a complete novice in this field. What valuable things could I possibly say? At most, I could only offer some polite words, so I declined."

After leaving the venue, Ye Lin spotted Hazel in the crowd. She had a shoulder bag slung across her shoulder, orange hair, two braids hanging down in front of her shoulders, and some hair cascading down her back. Her hair was incredibly thick. It was Hazel.

In the realm of gods where highlighting hair is fashionable, Hazel's unblemished orange-yellow color is quite rare.

She didn't seem to be in a very high mood. She bought a can of sour fruit tea from a vending machine by the roadside, then sat in a chair in a daze, occasionally picking up the can to take a small sip.

“Haiser.” Ye Lin and Chimera walked over and sat down to the side.

Hearing the voice, Hazel turned to look at Ye Lin, seemingly unsurprised to run into him here. He sighed and said:

"Master, I've been eliminated."

Upon hearing this, the chimera's eyes lit up, and it was about to show off its chimera bow when Ye Lin glared at it and stopped it.

Hazel's invention, which she made in her spare time after get off work, is a fog machine that can automatically sort materials and indicate their exact storage locations. It can also be used to quickly find the location of items you want.

Inspired by the Eye of the Mist's record room and archives, as an orthodox organization that worships the Mist God, one of its tenets is "to create beautiful memories for the Mist God." A large amount of information is generated every day, which needs to be sorted, categorized, and selected for collection.

Among the vast amount of paper records, millions of books have been piled up. It is inevitable that there will be situations where the storage location cannot be found, or where certain information cannot be quickly retrieved when needed, which is complicated and labor-intensive.

Hazel's invention is similar to a library management system. First, all collections are classified and recorded. Then, any subsequent collection only needs to determine the corresponding category to know where it should be stored.

When a certain type of information is needed, it can be retrieved through categories and taken directly to the corresponding location. This greatly reduces the consumption of manpower, and even a novice can quickly join this part of the work.

"That's pretty impressive. It has high practical value and shouldn't be phased out. So what happened?" Ye Lin first acknowledged Hazel's invention, then in the blink of an eye, he saw Chimera lying on the ground again, checking under the vending machine for any discarded coins.

Even after acquiring the patent for the interlocking bow and becoming quite wealthy, Chimera's passion for vending machines showed no signs of waning.

Hazel sighed deeply again, his face full of worry, and said:
“They told me that the Star Turtle Library in Qianhaitian had been using similar mist machinery for two years.”

"Master, you have to believe me. I invented it independently. I had no idea that the Star Turtle Library was ahead of me."

"Of course I believe you." Ye Lin nodded quickly. In fact, similar classification fog machines had existed for a long time. Hazel made an improved version, which was recognized in the academic community.

Almost all inventions are not the ultimate version when they are first published. They are gradually improved and optimized over time. People who can significantly improve efficiency are recognized as excellent inventors.

Chimera pulled a coin from under the vending machine, then happily took out two more and bought a bottle of cola. Ye Lin made a suggestion: "Haiser, how about incorporating your invention into herbalism? As far as I know, herbs have strict requirements regarding their growth period and storage time. Some herbs are only effective for a certain period of time after being picked."

"Could we design an upgraded version that allows users to check the harvesting time, storage time, and storage location of herbs with a single click?"

Hazel pulled a book from his satchel, flipped through it for a while, and shook his head, saying, "Not good enough. There are already similar mist machines."

A small, translucent, light blue creature, resembling a lizard, poked its head out of her handbag, glanced at the humans coming and going outside, and quickly withdrew its head, seemingly a little frightened.

That was the divine beast of Hazel's contract, and also a small giant dragon that Ye Lin had hatched from a water-attribute dragon egg that he obtained from Yao Duo in the Dragon Dimension.

"Oh, that's a real shame. Let me think about it some more. I'm sure I'll get some inspiration. Knowledge is limitless." As Ye Lin spoke, he handed over a piece of water-attribute magic essence. The little dragon poked its head out, bit it, and then quickly withdrew.

Hazel didn't speak again, but tilted her head to look at his profile, staring at him like that, a slight smile playing on her lips, and said:
"Master, is it this meticulousness that won over the beautiful scholar Ruiqi?"

"Master, will all your disciples become your brides in the future? I'm still a minor, so are you raising me up?"

"Although my physique makes me look like an adult, much more mature than the demons, Master, you'll have to wait a bit. But if you really can't wait, I'll pretend to have heatstroke and faint, and then... I won't open my eyes, and I won't tell anyone."

Ye Lin raised his hand and pinched Hazel's chin, turning her small face to face him, and said:

"It's already late autumn, and you still have heatstroke. I got some concert tickets, including your favorite Rosely. Let's go together if you have time."

He had experienced the girl's precociousness firsthand. He noticed that the Eye of the Mist was grooming her to be the next Chief, so he would immediately make small mistakes from time to time to lower his image. Normally, a child her age would be overjoyed to be affirmed by so many adults.

Hiat and the others described Hazel as a prince or princess who pretended to be a playboy, seemingly indifferent to the throne and idle, thus lowering her image and competitiveness. In reality, she knew everything and everything was part of her plan.

"What were you talking about just now?" Chimera returned, holding a half-empty bottle of cola and a piece of cardboard she had been writing on.

Ye Lin casually said, "We were talking about the concert, and you didn't buy me a single bottle."

"Hiccup~"

"Your family is so rich, why do I need to treat you? Or is Celia controlling the money? Tsk, you're a grown man, how can you let her manage your finances?" Chimera shook her head, inwardly complaining, knowing her master could read minds anyway.

She first burped over a soda, then handed him the remaining half-bottle of cola.

The first sip of a carbonated drink is worth more than half the price; it's satisfying, but the rest of the taste is greatly diminished, and she doesn't want to drink it anymore.

Ye Lin secretly twitched the corner of his mouth, inwardly complaining that not only was the rich woman tight-lipped, but she was also extremely controlling, so handing over the money was something he did completely willingly.

“Let’s go, there’s still one thing to take care of.” Ye Lin got up, threw the empty can into the trash can by the roadside, and then looked at Chimera.

"Why are you looking at me? I didn't do anything wrong, did I? Do you expect me to give you fifty cents if I took a dollar from under the vending machine?"

Ye Lin smiled and said, "It's about time you went crazy."

…………

Beast Fang Judgment, Ruiqi's residence.

Upon learning that Chimera had made a mess of things and rendered himself mute, only able to write with cardboard, Ricky immediately burst into laughter, laughing heartily with an expression that said, "You deserve it."

The Inventors' Conference wasn't over yet, so Chimera didn't have to go to the Clockwork House for classes for the time being. She'd been nagging like crazy lately, like a hundred ducks quacking in her ears all the time. Chimera's mouth hadn't stopped for a moment.

Originally, Laura would come to her every day to discuss academic matters, but Chimera got annoyed by her nagging, so she changed the arrangement to go to Laura's place to discuss things, and Chimera was not allowed to be brought along.

After estimating the time, Ye Lin set up a barrier around the chimera and said:
“I’ve already heard from Ruiqi that you haven’t been strictly following the plan I gave you to study and practice your mental strength lately, but have been living a rather carefree life.”

"The Rubik's Cube is not the kind of magical object that will protect its owner. Its negative effects are always present and gradually accumulate until they suddenly overwhelm you. You must bear the price of gaining power."

"For the sake of your big breasts, no, for the sake of your status as my apprentice, I'll help you one more time."

Chimera slammed her fist into the semi-transparent barrier to express her dissatisfaction. She felt great, eating well, sleeping soundly, and even had money in her pocket. There was no problem at all.

However, Ye Lin outside the barrier remained indifferent, ignoring her protests.

That cold gaze… Chimera tilted her head slightly, then a sinister smile appeared on her face. Golden light suddenly surged in her eyes, and her vision receded violently, as if a terrifying force was pulling her body. In an instant, her vision distanced her from Ye Lin by hundreds of meters, tens of thousands of meters, and even hundreds of millions of miles, until she completely disappeared.

Chimera's consciousness was engulfed by golden light; her body remained in place, but her soul had been pulled to an unknown location.

After a long time...

"My head hurts so much, it feels like someone used a chainsaw to split my brain open vertically." Chimera touched her head, feeling that it was intact, without any cracks or bleeding.

Immediately, the same sound came from nearby... "My head hurts so much, it feels like someone split my brain open with a chainsaw."

The same sounds rose and fell, some near, some far, as if hundreds of chimeras were repeating the same phrase.

Chimera slapped her head hard, trying to alleviate the tearing pain in her soul with external pain. After a while, she shouted:
"You're still pulling this stunt? I've been through this before, you bunch of fakes."
