Chapter 2466 Fishing Plan
"Don't worry, I talked to her before I came."

The question about the cast seemed somewhat abrupt, but Fu Qian sighed softly, appearing to understand completely.

"Although she seems to be a very lucky person, Wen Li is clearly aware that there is always a price to pay for power."

The situation couldn't be clearer: Grandpa Vilon knew about his relationship with Wen Li after all.

Not surprising, after all, he's a veteran demigod, and belongs to the type who excels at self-analysis.

They may have a tendency to be arrogant, but it's only a matter of time before they realize something is amiss.

Wen Li did come at the invitation, but the coincidence was still too much of a coincidence.

One of the core reasons she was able to advance this time is that Master Yuhun had a profound spiritual influence on Linghui and his group.

So much so that when a group of people helped her find the path to the extraordinary, such as when they came up with the title "the Sufferer," they slightly borrowed that person's wisdom.

Otherwise, trying to forcefully create a demigod based solely on the idea of ​​"giving it your all" would be a bit too much of a futile attempt to defy fate.

Furthermore, if that were all, Wen Li's experience could simply be attributed to a blessing in disguise.

The problem is that she wasn't the only one who benefited from the misfortune; while successfully completing the training, Ling Hui's own problems were also exposed.

With the strong support they received later, the hidden danger was successfully and completely eliminated.

Aside from not knowing the name of Master Yuhun, for Master Vilon, the situation was exactly as described above.

However, it seems that the old man was not satisfied with the explanation of mere coincidence, so he conducted a little more background check on Wen Li.

It is believed that it will not take much effort for a bookstore owner who does not try to hide his identity to come into view, and even correspond to someone in the academy.

Then, in both of these "misfortunes turned out to be blessings in disguise" incidents, this person not only stirred up trouble in both cases, but also tacitly concealed from Wen Li the fact that they knew each other.

At this point, even the most oblivious person would undoubtedly be tempted to consider conspiracy theories.

For Mr. Viron, the conspiracy theory concluded that the Ashes owed him a huge favor—someone realized the hidden dangers of the Ashes and forced them to manifest in this way.

It wasn't Ling Hui helping Wen Li, but rather Wen Li helping Ling Hui.

……

Wen Li was just bait for fishing.

Those who seem to be favored are actually taking the plunge and need immense courage.

In this situation, it can be said that not only is there no favor from the side receiving the ashes, but the other side is actually doing them a favor.

What's wrong with treating such a young man as an honored guest?
As for whether this conspiracy theory is true or false?

The pre-payment statement was half true and half false.

After receiving the invitation, Wenli was eager to try it out. When confirming her opinion with herself, she did indeed offer sincere advice and respect her personal wishes.

However, after he actually arrived, Ling Hui started exhibiting some unusual behaviors, which aroused some suspicion.

Then comes the concealment of the relationship, turbocharging, and using relatively drastic methods to mobilize the subjective initiative of the spirit ashes...

Through a series of actions, Wen Li theoretically became the bait, although in the end she also ate her fill.

Grandpa Viron had clearly figured this out and realized the real debt Ling Hui owed, which is why he came to formally express his gratitude this time.

As for the cast members who already knew Wen Li was one of their own, they probably had similar questions before, and after accepting the thanks, they were now curious about Wen Li's specific situation.

The collection of spirit ash over the years is essentially an open warehouse to Apocalypse, so Elder Viron's gratitude is considerable. Apocalypse, having benefited so greatly, should obviously be grateful, perhaps by understanding the sacrifices Wen Li made.

“Not bad, he’s already a very rare young man… Some things are too easily taken for granted.”

When faced with the final statement, the cast nodded repeatedly, giving it high praise.

"However, knowing there is danger is one thing, but she still lacks a concept of what exactly is behind the danger."

At this point, Fu Qian honestly added that although that person was aware of being bait, their ability to control the situation was far too lacking, and they were ultimately being manipulated by the "mastermind."

That's true. Although Wen Li was aware of her situation during the process and decided to continue after careful consideration.

However, due to the difference in power levels, it was essentially out of trust that they entrusted their safety to his control.

"It sounds like a promising future, after all, we seem to be in the same boat?"

Upon hearing the pre-payment statement, the cast members laughed heartily and gave it even higher praise.

"In short, I am very grateful for your and her contributions. I will take my time to consider whether there is anything suitable to give Wenli in Tianqi... As for you, please feel free to let me know if you need anything."

"Oh, I see. Actually, there really is one."

Before paying, he blinked and then directly made his request.

"When I was organizing the archives, I saw that some instructors had tried to make props to lure mermaids. Does the academy have any finished products?"

……

It's perfectly reasonable to prepare some sea supplies before going out to sea, right?
I wasn't just making things up before; I was genuinely interested in the mentors' ingenious ideas and carefully studied the materials.

One of these items, in particular, seemed to bring back memories of some glorious years, such as Captain Lann's poaching tools.

It might not be necessary, but I know quite a few people in that race, and they are natives with a certain level of intelligence. It wouldn't hurt to have the chance to talk to them and ask for directions.
"Is this all you need? I'll arrange for it to be delivered as soon as possible."

As expected, although the improved version in the file gradually became outrageous, similar small gadgets were very simple for Apocalypse's collection, and Cast readily agreed.

"It seems I also need to review it myself; I can't just push all the work onto Lisa."

Even the next moment, they seemed to be intrigued and expressed their desire to read more of the young people's ingenious ideas.

The impulse was so strong that, before long, Cast had finished his tea, said goodbye, and left, his enjoyment exhausted.

……

Where is Professor Lisa?

Almost as soon as the cast left, the door was pushed open again.

Fu Qian glanced at Ji Liushuang as she walked in and casually offered some words of concern to his colleague.

Of course, it wasn't such a coincidence. Cast had Lisa stand guard outside, clearly to stop Liu Shuang from returning.

"Dean Cast said he needed to talk to her... I was worried that there might be a lot going on here, so I came back a little early."

As expected, the research assistant smiled and even offered an additional explanation as to why he was there so early.

"That's true."

Seemingly reminded, he seemed to be deep in thought before making the payment.

"Let's find a local department to hold an event tonight."
