Become a god from scratch

Chapter 72 Mystic Scholar Sheng Naiqi
"Indeed, our mission is to buy more time for others. There is no need to rush."

Upon hearing this, Xie Yi nodded, obviously having the same idea as Lin Xuan.

"Why not poison it?" someone suddenly suggested.

"Poisoned?"

Lin Xuan looked at the person who made the suggestion and found that the person who spoke was the seventh person whose name he could not remember.

"Brother Yan, do you remember his name?" In order to avoid embarrassment, Lin Xuan lowered his voice and asked Xing Yan beside him.

“I don’t have much impression.”

Xing Yan glanced at the seventh person with a confused look on his face.

Xie Yi also looked at the seventh person at this time, first showing a hint of doubt, and then asked:

"What's this classmate's name?"

"Sheng Naiqi."

"It's Mr. Sheng." Xie Yi nodded and said, "It would be great if we could poison him, but where can we find poison now?"

"I have it with me." Sheng Naiqi took out a small bag, "This is the 'Lato No. 7' that I recently developed. Ordinary poison detection methods cannot detect it because it is not actually a poison in essence..."

Sheng Naiqi was talking incessantly about his newly developed 'Lato No. 7', without noticing that the people around him couldn't help but take a step back.

Xie Yi forced a smile and said, "Even if it's poisonous, they're staring at us now. I'm afraid it won't be that easy..."

"This is easy!"

Without waiting for Xie Yi to finish his words, Sheng Naiqi walked towards the six-meter-tall two-headed ogre who was feasting.

His sudden action even startled Lin Xuan, who had jumped on the neck of the two-headed ogre before.

You know, there are at least a dozen ogres surrounding there now, and some of them are obviously stronger than the two-headed ogre before.

If not for this, Xie Yi would not have let some people retreat without even fighting.

The overall strength is really not equal, so there is really no way to fight head-on.

If there were only three or five ogres, the twenty-five of them could still fight as long as they didn't lose their composure.

A dozen or so would be too much.

Even if they can eventually eliminate them all, there will definitely be casualties on the three groups' side.

However, even in this situation, Sheng Naiqi actually walked towards the six-meter-tall two-headed ogre who was eating in broad daylight... Is this a sign of great skill and courage, or is it a sign of a man who has no limits in courting death?
However, Lin Xuan and the others did not stop Sheng Naiqi immediately, because their reminder at this time would also stimulate the ogres.

But they were also ready to take action at any time. As long as the ogres started fighting, they would take action immediately.

But the next scene left everyone puzzled.

But when Sheng Naiqi walked up to the ogres, the ogres turned their eyes to him, and then... one by one their huge heads showed doubts just like before.

It was as if he was wondering who this was.

But no matter what they were thinking, no ogre had any intention of attacking him. They just looked at him in confusion.

Including the six-meter-tall two-headed ogre who was eating his own kind, both heads looked at Sheng Naiqi with the same puzzled look, and then continued to eat.

This extremely strange scene made Lin Xuan finally realize that this might be the guy's ability!
"That guy... By the way, what's his name?" Xing Yan was about to say something, but found that he couldn't remember his name, so he looked at Lin Xuan and asked.

"His name is Sheng...what's his name?" Lin Xuan frowned.

The other person's name was clearly still lingering in his mind the moment before, but when Xing Yan asked about the name, he could no longer remember it.

Lin Xuan looked at Xie Yi, only to find that Xie Yi's expression was exactly the same as his.

"I don't remember either." Xie shook his head when he saw Lin Xuan looking at him.

"So that guy has awakened some magical power that is hard to remember?" Chen Donghuang said in astonishment.

Fang Jingjing pondered, "Not only can they not remember, judging from the reactions of those ogres, they should have regarded him as one of their own kind... Moreover, the continuous use of magical powers consumes a lot of energy. It is difficult for magical users below level A to use their magical powers without interruption."

Xie Yi and Xing Yan, who were also supernatural beings, nodded in agreement, obviously agreeing with Fang Jingjing's judgment.

Using supernatural powers and using supernatural powers all the time are two different concepts, especially since Sheng Naiqi's influence affects everyone at the same time, even the ogres are no exception.

Of course, they knew that some supernatural beings had the ability to do the same thing, and could even tamper with people's will and cognition, but there were only a few such supernatural beings on Earth, so how could they have the time to play house with them?

While they were discussing Sheng Naiqi's abilities, Sheng Naiqi had already walked to a place not far from the six-meter-tall two-headed ogre.

But he didn't come any closer.

"Ability limitation?" Lin Xuan saw this scene and guessed something.

If Sheng Naiqi's abilities really had no limits, there would be no need for him to go to the trouble of poisoning the monster. He could simply walk up behind the six-meter-tall two-headed ogre and give it a few hard hits to solve the problem.

Like before, Sheng Naiqi chose to stay and fight alongside the six of them, and they didn't think there was anything strange about it.

But if Sheng Naiqi suddenly got too close to him for no reason, Lin Xuan would definitely not fail to react, and once he reacted, he would begin to carefully recall the other party's information.

Even if you can’t remember the name, you will most likely notice something is wrong, and you may even realize in advance that the other person’s abilities will affect your cognition.

Sheng Naiqi's next move also verified Lin Xuan's guess.

But he stopped about ten meters away from the six-meter-tall two-headed ogre, then took out a handful of small particles from the small pocket in his hand and sprinkled them on the body of the two-headed ogre.

After spreading the seeds, he turned around and left without staying there.

The six-meter-tall two-headed ogre who was eating also noticed Sheng Naiqi's actions. Its two heads showed a puzzled look, but when they saw Sheng Naiqi turned and left, they withdrew their gazes.

Sheng Naiqi's sudden turn and departure was like forcibly interrupting the other person's attention.

"Phew... Done!"

Sheng Naiqi, who returned to Lin Xuan's team, breathed a sigh of relief.

When he realized that the six people's eyes were focused on him, Sheng Naiqi raised his hands in surrender and said:
"Don't look at me, everyone. It's not that I'm hiding something on purpose. It's just that there are some things you won't remember even if I tell you."

"We indeed can't remember your name, but that doesn't mean we can't remember your abilities," said Chen Donghuang.

"Really? Then take a look at your own database No. 173." Sheng Naiqi shrugged.

Chen Donghuang was a little confused, but he still checked it out.

He did have some databases, most of which contained information he considered important, and he stored them with serial numbers for fear that he would forget them.

As a mechanical user, storing such a small amount of data was not difficult for him.

After a while.

"How could it be..." Chen Donghuang's expression suddenly changed.

Lin Xuan saw Chen Donghuang's reaction and guessed something, so he asked Sheng Naiqi:

"So, you actually told us your name and abilities before, but we just don't remember?"

Sheng Naiqi nodded helplessly.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Chen Donghuang didn't explain much. He just made a small screen pop up on the back of his hand and played a video.

In the picture, all three groups are present, and Sheng Naiqi is introducing himself:

"...I know you don't remember me. My name is Sheng Naiqi. My ability is difficult to explain. In short, it is difficult to be noticed before I actively draw attention to it, and it is also easy to be forgotten."

"Is this your magic?" asked Xie Yi in the picture.

"I haven't awakened any supernatural powers, and I don't know what this is. If you have to categorize me, you can think of me as a mystic scholar."

"Mystic scholar? Seems rare!"

"Amazing!"

Everyone in the picture was talking about it.

"Just in case, which mechanical energy brother can help record a video and save it? It will also save me from being unable to explain myself when the time comes." Sheng Naiqi in the picture said again.

"Let me do it." Chen Donghuang's voice sounded on the screen, "I'll just save this footage later... Well, number 173. Although I don't think it's necessary, you can ask me for it when you need it."

"Okay, thank you Brother Chen!" Sheng Naiqi in the picture thanked.

This video was not very long, only less than half a minute in total. After it was played, Chen Donghuang put away the screen on the back of his hand. "I will keep it." Chen Donghuang thought for a moment and said.

"Sorry to trouble you, Brother Chen." Sheng Naiqi said helplessly.

"So I asked this before?" Xie Yi looked strange.

Although the image can be generated, given Chen Donghuang's identity and personality, it is unlikely that he would cooperate with Sheng Naiqi in acting, and it would be meaningless.

So the video just now is most likely true.

"Mystic scholar..."

After watching the video, Lin Xuan inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity.

Because he suddenly realized that Sheng Naiqi's ability seemed to have the same effect as his title of "Premature Baby".

The only difference is that the effect of the title of [Premature Baby] is to make people subconsciously think that he is a mermaid, while Sheng Naiqi's ability is to make people subconsciously ignore his existence, and even gradually forget the information about him.

However, what Lin Xuan cared about was not that Sheng Naiqi's ability had many similarities with the effect of the title "Premature Baby", but that Sheng Naiqi classified himself as a mystic scholar.

Although the extraordinary professions on the Earth Origin Star are mainly divided into martial artists, mutants, and mechanical users, the extraordinary professions in the old land are far more than these.

The mystic is one of the extraordinary professions outside the three major categories.

However, due to their relatively small number and the lack of well-known representative figures, most people may not have heard of them if they have not come into contact with them.

Just like the students participating in the Spark Project this time, apart from the hard-to-remember Sheng Naiqi, there should be no other mystic scholar.

But Lin Xuan was no stranger to mystics.

It’s nothing, there’s just one at home.

Before he came to participate in the Spark Project, his eldest sister Lin Rou, second brother Lin Wu, and third sister Lin Long all made some preparations for him.

It was then that he realized that the female devil Lin Long was actually a mystic scholar.

In addition, Lin Long also prepared some treasures for him.

Just like before the eldest sister Lin Rou went to the old land for training, Lin Wu and Lin Long also prepared some gifts for her.

Lin Xuan looked at the green ring on the ring finger of his left hand, his heart moved slightly, and he immediately rubbed the surface of the green ring with his other hand.

At this moment, he felt a cool sensation emerging from the ring finger of his left hand, and quickly rushed to the top of his head!

Under the baptism of this cool feeling, many memories suddenly appeared in his mind, including those he had just seen in the picture.

It is not the kind seen through Chen Donghuang's broadcast, but the memory seen from the perspective of an eyewitness.

"Mystic scholar Sheng Naiqi...interesting."

This strange feeling made Lin Xuan realize that the mystic scholar really had a way to keep his consciousness clear at all times. No wonder Lin Long, the female devil, was the only one in the family who was completely unaffected by the effect of the title of "Premature Baby".

Although the title of [Premature Baby] is obtained through the panel, the abilities obtained through the panel do not mean that there is absolutely no solution.

What's more, it was mentioned in the introduction of the effect of the title [Premature Baby] that there is a high probability that it will be effective, so naturally there is also a small probability that it will not be effective.

"No wonder the female devil said at the time that I am very suitable to be a mystic scholar. She must have thought that I am similar to Sheng Naiqi and that I am born with some kind of mystic scholar's qualities?"

At this time, Lin Xuan also figured out some things that he had not figured out before.

Obviously, even if Lin Long did not realize at first that he had some qualities that could influence other people's judgment because of his young age, he should have realized it later. However, Lin Long should have mistakenly thought that this trait of his was only possessed by some mystics, like Sheng Naiqi.

After temporarily eliminating the influence of Sheng Naiqi's characteristics with the help of the treasure given by his third sister Lin Long, Lin Xuan put the matter aside for the time being, planning to find Sheng Naiqi to learn about the mystic scholar when he has free time later.

Now is clearly not the right time.

Because Lin Xuan could clearly sense that the evil thoughts that originally covered him were gradually becoming stronger!

The source of these evil thoughts naturally comes from those ogres.

The reason why it suddenly became strong was because the six-meter-tall two-headed ogre had almost finished eating.

"Prepare--"

Xie Yi's reminder had also sounded at this time.

After confirming that Sheng Naiqi was fine, Xie Yi made the same choice as Lin Xuan and decided to put it aside for the time being.

The most urgent task is to deal with these ogres in front of us.

"Take action!"

Thanks for the order!
He himself was the first to take action!

But at the same time, two coins appeared between the fingers of his right hand, and he used the same trick to throw them at the two-headed ogre that was more than six meters tall!
This time, Chen Donghuang didn't blow up one head first. He naturally aimed at the two heads of the six-meter-tall two-headed ogre at the same time!

However, what no one expected was that among the short ogres with only one head, an older ogre who looked older suddenly raised the wooden stick in his hand -

"Kumoparaido!"

As the short old ogre was muttering like a charlatan, a prompt appeared on the panel in Lin Xuan's mind:
"You figured out that 'Kumoparaido' means 'Be still, you bastard'."

"Ogre language mastery +2%"

"【Babbling】Proficiency +5"

"No way……"

After understanding the meaning of the short older ogre's words through babbling, Lin Xuan immediately realized what the other party was doing, which also made him feel a sense of absurdity.

But the next scene proved that [Babbling] is indeed very reliable.

Because just after the short older ogre uttered those words, the two coins thrown by Xie Yi actually hovered in the air!
"Fuck!"

When Sheng Naiqi saw this scene, his lack of culture was immediately revealed.

However, this time he could be considered as a substitute for other people's comments, because even Xie Yi himself had an expression as if he had seen a ghost.

Lin Xuan was slightly stronger than them. After all, he already understood what the short older ogre meant after he heard him say that sentence.

After ruling out the possibility that the short older ogre had suddenly gone crazy, Lin Xuan guessed that the current situation might occur, and also realized that the short older ogre probably also possessed some kind of extraordinary profession.

The only thing he couldn't understand was that if the other party was just chanting a spell, why did there are swear words in the spell.

"I remember now! It's the Ogre Sacrifice!"

After Sheng Naiqi finished saying "wow", he suddenly remembered something and said to the people around him with some excitement.

"Is it really this kind of profession?" Lin Xuan was not surprised.

He didn't know how many stories and legends about ogres there were on the Clear Origin Star, but in the stories and legends about ogres on the Blue Star, there was indeed the existence of ogre sacrifices.

and many more!

Why are there stories and legends about ogres on Blue Star?
Lin Xuan, who originally thought it was not a surprise, suddenly froze in place!
According to Li Guosheng, many stories and legends on the Earth Origin Star were originally messages brought back by ancient people after they accidentally visited the old land.

However, due to the overwhelming feudal power on Earth Origin Star at that time, it was impossible to accurately convey the news to the world, so the only way was to leave behind a legend.

But Lin Xuan, who has lived two lives, knows clearly that these legends exist not only on the Earth Origin Star, but also on the Blue Star!
"Does this mean that ancient people from Blue Star also came to the Old Earth World and faced the same difficulties as the ancient people from Earth Origin Star, which is why they left behind those legends?"

Lin Xuan's heart was slightly shaken.

But now was obviously not the time to think about these things, because just after the short older ogre who was suspected to be an ogre priest blocked Xie Yi's attack, the six-meter-tall two-headed ogre also stood up!
Looking at the two coins hovering in the air, it has already realized that the food on the other side is a little dishonest.

"Kukabaru!"

The six-meter-tall two-headed ogre suddenly raised his mace.

"I know this. Kuka means eaten." Lin Xuan understood the first half of the sentence directly this time.

The interpretation of [Babbling] also confirms this point, because the phrase "Kukabalu" means "eat them".

It is not difficult to see that the more than six-meter-tall two-headed ogre is most likely the leader of this group of ogres.

With its order, many ogres finally stopped restraining themselves and rushed towards Lin Xuan and the others, howling!
"Modala!"

"Kukabaru!"

"Kuisa! Kuisa!"
