Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 734 Invitation and Professor
An email from the academic sect's headquarters?
When Xin Lailai saw the prompt message clearly, his first reaction was whether he had read it wrongly. His second reaction was that 83203 had sent them some information. It was not until he saw the Bloodline Research Department at the end that he suddenly realized something.

Is it possible...

[Reminder: All mails have been received]

Then, he moved his gaze from the transmission interface to the mailbox. The next second, a thick white envelope that looked like a book fell into his hands. Xin Lailai saw it, opened it, and looked at the extremely familiar printouts, with a look of understanding in his eyes.

Is it really the research paper I sent you before?

"The academic sect headquarters... So it was rejected at the final review stage?"

Xin Lailai looked at the documents in his hand, and at the evaluation form on the top with the emblem of the academic sect. After reading it carefully, a look of regret appeared in his eyes.

"Does it overlap with existing literature? Sure enough, someone has already researched these things... "

Looking at the reason for the return written in extremely neat and powerful Paradise language on the evaluation form, Xin Lailai sighed slightly in his mind, but then shook his head gently, putting aside the slightly depressed mood in his mind.

In fact, he had anticipated this result as early as a month ago. After all, he had submitted the paper for almost three months and there was still no news. There was basically no other possibility except that it was rejected.

"Well, let's just consider it as a chance to gain experience."

After reading all the pages of reviews, Xin Lailai let out a long sigh and stopped worrying about these things. Just as he was about to throw the documents in his hand back into the storage space, he suddenly felt a faint burning sensation from the brand on the back of his hand.

Peng——! !

The burning sound was fleeting, and the evaluation form on the cover of the manuscript in his hand suddenly ignited with a layer of golden flames. The words on it quickly faded away, and in a blink of an eye it turned from an ordinary evaluation form into a strange letter paper with a black background and gold words, which made Xin Lailai startled.

[Hint: You have obtained "Professor's invitation letter (special item)"]

A cold reminder sounded, and Xin Lailai was startled by the sudden change, and subconsciously looked at the black and gold letter in front of him:
……

【Professor’s invitation letter】

Origin: Sanctuary Paradise Academic Sect

Quality: Special

Category: props

Introduction: An invitation letter from the "Professor", one of the honorary members of the Academic Sect. It records the wishes of the "Professor". Those who receive this invitation letter can use it to teleport to the nearest large teleportation tower, and then use the teleportation tower to go to the Sanctuary Paradise·Academic Sect. The teleportation costs will be borne by the Academic Sect·Bloodline Research Department.

Price: No sale/transfer
……

An invitation letter from the professor?

Wait? Professor?!

The professor who is an honorary member of the academic sect like 83203 and the boss? ! !

In the laboratory, Xin Lailai looked at the invitation letter in front of her. She was stunned for two seconds, then suddenly realized something. Her breathing suddenly became rapid, and she hurriedly looked at the content of the invitation letter.

……

"To a friend whose name is unknown"

"I have read your research and found some interesting things. I would like to invite you to meet me at the Academic Sect."

"--professor."

……

it is true.

That professor...actually invited them!

In an instant, an indescribable excitement rose from Xin Lailai's mind, and Ling Yuzi, who was maintaining an assimilated state with him, also excitedly said in the minds of the two:
"Lailailaila! Is this that...! That... uh, the story about being rejected by a big sect and then being picked up by an old man?! '

"…Why do I feel like I'm not that excited after hearing what you said, Ling Yuzi?"

Xin Lailai couldn't help but complain in his mind, but the burning look in his eyes remained unchanged.

After all, no matter how it was described, it was an invitation from a person of the same level as the big boss 83203, and he was even the most mysterious honorary member of the academic sect. For an academic wizard, it was impossible not to be excited to be invited by such a top figure in the academic field.

"Ok?"

Just as Xin Lailai was getting excited, 83203, who was busy with something beside him, seemed to sense something and suddenly stopped what he was doing. He looked in the direction of Xin Lailai, then frowned slightly when he saw the black and gold invitation in his hand and said:

"Professor's invitation?"

The cold voice startled Xin Lailai and she came to her senses immediately. Then she remembered that 83203 was still there, and she nodded quickly.

"Yeah! Boss 83203? What's wrong?"

"Nothing, it's just that his situation is rather special. In a sense, he is the most dangerous of the honorary members of the Academic Sect."

The most dangerous one?!

83203 replied indifferently, and Xin Lailai's pupils shrank slightly when he heard it. He was shocked and suddenly woke up from the excitement. He asked the other party nervously:

"Uh, Boss 83203, in that case, this invitation..."

"Just go directly. He invited you, which probably means he has some interest in you."

"Although I don't really like dealing with him, objectively speaking, some of his theories can indeed be of some help to you."

"However, personally, I would suggest that you first stand firm in your position when facing him, and don't be incited by his words, even if you choose to accept his teachings."

"As for more, you will understand when you meet him."

After 83203 finished speaking, he retracted his gaze and continued to focus on the data in front of him. After Xin Lailai heard this, he looked back and forth between the other party and the invitation letter in his hand for a long time, then took a deep breath, nodded, and respectfully thanked 83203:
"Thank you for your advice, Boss 83203! We will pay more attention to it!"

Since 83203 said in person that meeting with the professor would bring them certain help, Xin Lailai naturally would not retreat.

As for the risks... in the final analysis, there are not many opportunities without risks. If they are still afraid of this and that despite the suggestions of 83203, then there is no need for them to stay in the paradise. They can just find a turtle shell and sleep until the next abyss invasion breaks out.

So, the next second, Xin Lailai activated the teleportation spell on the invitation letter in her hand and disappeared on the spot. Although they were now staying in the headquarters of the academic sect, the space inside the headquarters of the academic sect was as complicated as a multi-dimensional maze, and most places had restricted permissions. Therefore, if they really wanted to go to the Bloodline Research Department, they still had to follow the process on the invitation letter.

After the spatial fluctuations caused by the black-haired young man's departure completely dissipated, 83203 glanced at the place where he left, and then looked at the message that popped up on his communication channel:

……

Eyebrows: "Thank you very much. I owe you a favor."

83203: "I am not interested in your affairs. I just think the kings are getting in the way."

Eyebrows: "No matter what, I still have to thank the senior for helping them break the cause and effect in advance."

83203: "It's a choice they made themselves, that's all."

83203: "Also, the Finance Department told me that your expenses this year have exceeded the reimbursement limit for honorary members. Remember to settle it before next month."

Eyebrows: "Uh, this... I understand."...

Tsk, it's time to pay back the money again...

In the void, the white-robed scholar who was walking in the space storm was looking at the news on the communication channel. He rubbed his temples with a headache. When he thought of his expenses in the past few months, a hint of worry appeared between his brows.

"Forget it, I'll go ask Hao Guang to borrow some more..."

After sighing helplessly, the white-robed scholar opened the communication channel and was about to send a message to someone he had just met not long ago.

[Tip: The current communication partner "Military Lord (Watching Paradise)" has blocked you]

"..."

Looking at the prompt that popped up at the edge of his vision, the white-robed scholar could not help but remain silent for a while, then switched to the next avatar:
[Tip: The current communication partner "Qing Wei Liao (Sanctuary Paradise)" has blocked you]

【Hint: Currently...】

【…】

【Hint: Currently...】

[Tip: The current communication partner "God of Justice (Sanctuary Paradise)" has blocked you]

After trying more than a dozen regulars in his memory, the white-robed scholar looked at the names of these people who seemed to have agreed to block him at the time when this academic sect was conducting financial summary. After standing alone in the space storm for a while, he silently changed direction and headed towards the endless darkness.

There is no other way. Although we are in a hurry, we might as well kill a group of abyss creatures along the way.

……

"My dear old friend, you seem to be very happy?"

"Nothing, I just thought about a certain top master who is probably busy making money to pay off his debts, and I suddenly felt better."

In an inconspicuous small box, the playwright glanced at a name on the contact list that he had blocked in advance, and a teasing smile appeared on his face.

Then, he looked at the fitting mirror in front of him and carefully examined his clothes. After confirming that there was nothing inappropriate, he nodded slightly, raised the white top hat that was somewhat similar to the one worn by Kaito Kid with one hand, squinted his eyes, a hint of satisfaction flashed across his pupils, and turned to walk out the door.

"My dear old friend, where are you going?"

"Going to the academic sect to visit a senior. What? Don't you plan to follow?"

"Haha, my dear old friend, you are such a joker! Do you think I am someone who likes to pry into other people's privacy?"

"hehe."

……

Meanwhile, on the other side.

"By the way, Lailai, is this really the Bloodline Research Department...?"

"Well, judging from the signs along the way, probably... it should be... theoretically..."

Boom——! !

A deafening crash sounded from the long corridor. In the aisle, they saw a hideous tentacle suddenly slamming heavily on the transparent glass wall on their right hand side. The human faces and tongues on the wall were so long that they made people feel physically uncomfortable. Just one look at it was enough to make people feel that they had eaten breakfast in vain.

Not only that, if one has sharp ears and can distinguish the human voices from the constant noise coming from all directions, one will find that the content of the shouting in the public laboratories around is more explosive than the other:
"Damn it, which idiot gave the ancient god's aphrodisiac to No. 3 again...!"

"Sedatives! Damn, how come the sedatives are all gone again..."

"Fuck you! Which bastard is using my kettle as a cup...!"

"Fuck, why is there another coding error! Damn it, I've had enough! Blast them all! Damn the flesh and blood editors..."

"Haha! I did it! Team leader, I did it! Look at the new product I made..."

"..."

Very good. I have heard that the Bloodline Research Department is the second most lively place after the War Technology Department. After seeing it today, it is completely confirmed.

Xin Lailai looked at the scenes in the public laboratories on both sides of the corridor that were like hell on earth and a grand prize of human abstract behavior. The expression on her face twitched slightly, as if she was worried about being infected by those panda-eyed researchers with bloodshot eyes. She quickened her pace and quickly came to the space folding passage leading to the next area. After quickly pressing a few buttons in front of the screen similar to the elevator floor selection, she walked in decisively.

Om-! !

A faint feeling of weightlessness flashed by, and as he passed through a silver-white light curtain, the scene in front of him suddenly changed from a noisy public laboratory corridor to an unusually quiet and long passage, and the information displayed on the passage also changed from "Bloodline Research Department—Public Experimental Area—Area A" to "Bloodline Research Department—Exclusive Experimental Area—Top Floor".

[Prompt: It has been detected that the pioneer has entered the high-authority area of ​​the academic sect. The pioneer's authority level is being verified...]

[Warning: Insufficient authority level...]

[Reminder: It is detected that the pioneer holds the "Professor's invitation letter", and the second test is in progress...]

[Reminder: Testing completed. According to the Pioneer's current permissions, the Pioneer can only move around in the corridor area of ​​the "Bloodline Research Department·Exclusive Experimental Area·Top Floor" and the professor's office]

The next second, a large number of prompt messages flashed from the edge of Xin Lailai's vision. After several seconds, the circle of translucent light curtain surrounding it gradually dissipated. Seeing this, Xin Lailai didn't say much, just nodded slightly. After taking the invitation letter in his hand, he walked along the corridor for about ten minutes, and finally stopped in front of the silver metal door at the end of the corridor and pressed the doorbell at the door.

Ding Dong~!!
"come in."

A clear doorbell rang, followed by an old voice full of kindness. The handle of the silver-white metal door in front of him suddenly sank automatically, and the entire door opened inward with a heavy sound, revealing the scene inside:
Gentle sunlight poured in from the window. In a room that looked like an ordinary office, an old professor wearing a monocle and with wrinkles all over his face, who gave off a kind and amiable look, was sitting at his desk. He looked up at Xin Lailai standing at the door. A strange look first appeared in his eyes that were full of age. Then, he smiled slightly and said,

"Haha, old man, I was wondering where this outstanding young man came from, but I didn't expect it to be the man of Mr. 83203?"

Does the other party know that they know 83203?

Hearing the old professor's words, Xin Lailai's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't ask any more questions. He just walked forward politely, handed over the invitation letter in his hand, and said respectfully:

"Hello, Professor. I am here in response to this invitation. Is there anything you would like to ask me?"

"Haha, don't be so nervous. I'm just having a tantrum. I saw a young man with potential and couldn't help but pull him over to have a chat. But since you are the people of Mr. 83203, it seems that my dream of having a student will be shattered again."

The old professor laughed, and a sigh of regret appeared on his old and kind face. He looked at the empty chair beside him and said:

"But since you're all here, why don't you sit down first? The same goes for that little girl. If you don't mind, how about coming out and chatting with an old man like me?"

Can't it be hidden?

Hearing the old professor's words, Xin Lailai's pupils shrank slightly. After realizing that the existence of Ling Yuzi was likely to be hidden from the other party, she nodded and looked to her side.

"Hello, Professor."

The next second, Ling Yuzi appeared, and after greeting the old professor obediently, he sat down with Xin Lailai on the seat beside him. Upon hearing this, the old professor gently stroked his beard, a kind smile appeared on his face, and he laughed:
"Good! It's been a long time since I've met such a well-behaved little girl and such a polite young man. It seems that I, the old man, was right about them!"

As the old professor spoke, he narrowed his eyes slightly, took Xin Lailai in his gaze, nodded, and praised in his old voice like a kind elder, while the smile on Xin Lailai's face froze there:
"Young man, I was right. You have great potential in being a lawbreaker."
