I rely on myself

Chapter 29 Dangerous Plan

"However, the most surprising thing is that you failed."

When the failed scholar Lin Yuan heard this, his brows twitched but he did not answer.

Seeing this, Jiqiao Lin Yuan didn't care and continued, "To be honest, I really didn't expect you to help Kurogane Ikki. Although you are friends now, even so, I still can't imagine that you will take the initiative to help others. After all, before we traveled through time, we were introverted at best and socially anxious at worst. If we had nothing to do, we could stay at home all the time."

After hearing this, the other three people secretly agreed. After all, they all had the same memories, so of course they still remembered what kind of person they were in the past.

"Well, we are friends after all, and I also gained something, okay? Although I haven't realized it yet, I still got a glimpse of the <Mind's Eye> from Ikki. To be honest, I'm the one who gained the most, okay?"

"Besides, no matter what you say, you have changed a lot, haven't you? After all, you were able to convince those old-fashioned people in your family to let you study abroad." Lin Yuan, who failed the imperial examination, also complained about this.

"Haha, that's right." Jiqiao Lin Yuan also said nostalgically: "If I hadn't done this myself, I would never have thought that I would be so proactive."

Dicuo Lin Yuan felt speechless about the discussion between the two and had to speak in order to get back to the original topic.

"Well, don't discuss these trivial things here. After all, after traveling through time, we have different experiences, encounters, and knowledge in different worlds, so it is natural that we will make different decisions. You should talk about your respective plans."

Hearing this, Jiqiao Lin Yuan felt a little embarrassed, after all, he was the one who started the conversation off topic.

"Haha, speaking of which, I have now successfully entered the Walpurgis Royal School of Mechanical Magic. Although it has not been long, this school is truly worthy of being the highest institution of mechanical magic. The knowledge about technical magic is very rich. During this period of time, I have been spending all day in the library."

"Oh, so you want to be a Shilipo Sword God like me." Upon hearing what Jiqiao Lin Yuan said, Dicuo Lin Yuan immediately smiled.

Jiqiao Lin Yuan rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "What can I do? China is currently in a state of isolation, and there is very little knowledge about mechanical magic in the country. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have to travel all the way to England and spend a lot of tuition to study at the Walpurgis Royal School of Mechanical Magic."

Hearing Jiqiao Linyuan's rebuttal, Dicuo Linyuan scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said: "Ahaha, is there anything we can help with?"

"No, for now I am focusing on studying, but as for help, I really need it."

Jiqiao Lin Yuan pondered for a moment, then said: "I already have a plan in my mind, but it's missing something."

While saying this, Clever Lin Yuan looked at Failed Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan, who failed the exam, understood immediately and said, "Oh, what can I do for you?"

"First, let me ask you, how about breaking through fate and becoming a demon?" asked the clever Lin Yuan seriously.

Although he didn't know why the other party cared about this issue, Lin Yuan, who failed the exam, still replied after careful consideration.

"Since our last exchange, after some practice, my strength has greatly improved again. After the all-out battle with Yashahime, I can also feel the constraints of fate. So after this exchange, I have the confidence to challenge her, but I can't give you a definite answer as to whether I can break through. After all, judging from Ikki's breakthrough in the original work, we know that this process must not be easy."

Hearing the uncertain answer from the failed Lin Yuan, it would be a lie for the clever Lin Yuan to say that he was not disappointed. However, he also understood the difficulty of the matter and could not say much, so he could only explain.

When it comes to mechanical magic, the most important thing is the automaton, and the power of the automaton is closely related to its built-in magic circuits. Therefore, powerful magic circuits are very expensive, and you need connections to buy them.

Basically, it can be said that Jiqiao Linyuan has no affinity with this existence, so Jiqiao Linyuan thought of a method to design a variety of special and powerful magic circuits, and to use this method requires knowledge of fate, cause and effect. "That's why I asked you when you can become a demon, because this is also the easiest way for us to obtain relevant knowledge about fate and cause and effect."

After listening to Jiqiao Lin Yuan's explanation, Failing Lin Yuan fell into deep thought again. Jiqiao Lin Yuan did not disturb him and waited quietly. Seeing this, the other two also quieted down.

Time passed by minute by minute, and just when the clever Lin Yuan had given up hope, the failed Lin Yuan finally opened his eyes.

"Yes, I have thought of a way that will allow me to break through the shackles of fate and reach the realm of the devil."

Upon hearing this good news, Jiqiao Lin Yuan was overjoyed, and the other two were also happy about it. After all, if the failed Lin Yuan became a demon, it would be a good thing for them.

When the clever Lin Yuan asked the failed Lin Yuan what the solution was, the failed Lin Yuan told the truth.

The other three immediately expressed their opposition, saying that the risk was too high.

However, Lin Yuan, who failed the exam, insisted on giving it a try and said that the actual risk was not that great. Finally, under Lin Yuan's insistence, the other three had to agree, after all, they could not stop him at all.

Jiqiao Lin Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest, I regret it a little. If it weren't for me, this wouldn't have happened."

"You don't have to be like this. To be honest, I have actually prepared this plan a long time ago, but I feel that the time has not come yet. After coming to the misty space to communicate this time, I have a hunch that I will reach the pinnacle set for me by fate, so this plan is inevitable. Don't worry too much about it." Lin Yuan, who failed the exam, said very magnanimously.

"Well, you better be more careful. After all, if we didn't know your plan, we wouldn't be at ease. But when it comes to implementing it, we still have to be more careful. After all, the opponent's strength is unfathomable."

Hokage Lin Yuan also put forward his own opinions.

"That's right. The opponent is not an ordinary guy. No matter how you overestimate him, it will not be enough. So you must be extra careful. If it really doesn't work, just give up. With the opponent's character, he won't chase you." Dicuo Lin Yuan said with a serious face.

"Okay, okay, I'll be careful. It's getting late, so I'll leave first. Next time we meet, I'll bring a big gift, so you guys just look forward to it." After saying that, Lin Yuan left.

After watching the figure of the failed Lin Yuan disappear, the clever Lin Yuan couldn't help but ask: "What should I do?"

Hearing this, Hokage Lin Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "What can we do? Just leave it alone. We can't stop this guy now. We can only wait for news from him."

After saying this, Hokage Lin Yuan also left the foggy space.

Jiqiao Linyuan and Dicuo Linyuan looked at each other, and Dicuo Linyuan said: "The Hokage is right, we can't stop Luodi now, and you don't have to worry too much. After all, Luodi's trump card is enough to save his life. That's it, I'm leaving too."

As he spoke, Dicuo Lin Yuan also left, leaving only Jiqiao Lin Yuan in the entire foggy space.

"Hey, I shouldn't have mentioned this earlier. Otherwise, this incident wouldn't have happened. Luodi, you have to come back alive, otherwise I won't be at peace for the rest of my life."

After saying this, Jiqiao Lin Yuan also left the foggy space.
