Chapter 603 Thinking
A man's reputation is like the shadow of a tree. Although Fang Yun was only a scholar, he had a great reputation. There was no other way. His excellent works were published in the literary newspapers every month. This time, he was selected as a talented person. The dean of the literary academy should do his job. Although Fang Yun was not from the academy, he had heard of him. He took a closer look and nodded.

"Yes, yes, it's you. You should tell me what happened."

Fang Yun nodded and methodically recounted how he and Li Ming passed by this place, were attacked, and were rescued by the retainers secretly sent by the Yan family.

The Dean of the Academy of Literature stroked his beard and said, "You suffered this misfortune just as you gained a reputation for literature. I believe you've been placed on the internal blacklists of both the wizards and the lich. It's no big deal. The higher your rank on the blacklist, the more it demonstrates your extraordinary talent. You know, Wen Daru, the most promising scholar in the world today, was also assassinated many times in his early years. The more he tried, the more daring he became. He went from being a scholar to a literary master, and finally stopped. To some extent, this blacklist can better demonstrate your talent than the gold list of our imperial examinations!"

It seemed that nothing serious had happened, but it was a pity that the coachman died unjustly, being pierced by arrows in the first wave of arrow rain. Apart from that, there was nothing serious. As for the loss of the remaining pages of the cultural treasure, it was also a helpless move, otherwise Fang Yun would still be alive now.

As the sky grew darker, the dean of the Academy of Literature said, "It's a bit inconvenient right now, but please come with me to Hechuan County and make plans tomorrow. How about that?"

Fang Yun and Li Ming said in unison: "Obedience is worse than respect!"

Qi Zhengxin and others followed behind. After all, the Lord God had already arranged identities for them, so they were not afraid of being investigated.

As for the corpses of the demon soldiers and the three demon generals scattered all over the ground, naturally there were people from the county government to deal with them and convert them into silver. Of course, Qi Zhengxin and his men looked down on these, but if they did not accept them, it would arouse suspicion. So Qi Zhengxin also gave a special instruction and even sent Zhang Tianlong to keep an eye on them.
Although this action made the Dean of the College of Arts smile knowingly, he did not say much.

These yamen runners and the scholars from the academy, although they came up empty-handed, at least they had a trip and did not return empty-handed. Naturally they would be tempted by the spoils. Anyway, Qi Zhengxin and others were not qualified to handle the spoils, so how much profit they could make was all up to them.

If Zhang Tianlong watched closely, he would give him more money. If he watched leniently, the extra money would be considered as wine money for his brothers.

After returning to the county town, the county magistrate, Lord He, personally met with the two of them, greeted them warmly, and arranged accommodation for them. Qi Zhengxin and the other four also benefited from this and lived in the house next to Fang Yun and Li Ming.

They were retainers of the Yan family and none of them had obtained a proper literary title. Although they had some strange and clever skills, they were not presentable.

This is why literature and art are respected in this world. Anyone who does not follow this path is considered inferior, and it is very difficult and has a natural barrier limit.

For example, Li Ming secretly practiced martial arts in his previous life, and his body was strong, but he was limited by the heaven and earth. He could not produce internal energy in his life, and his body could not transform. It was as if his strength was locked at an upper limit and he could not transcend.

In this world, aside from those who studied literature and Taoism, any other profession was categorized as one of the nine classes. Fortunately, the music, swordsmanship, and mechanical engineering Qi Zhengxin mentioned were more or less related to literature and Taoism. After all, the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting could all be used as combat techniques. The sword was a gentleman's weapon, and mechanical engineering was also derived from the artisans and scholars. Everyone considered them to be untalented scholars, but among these miscellaneous classes, they were actually gifted.

In fact, there are quite a few such people, but their status is much lower than that of scholars. No wonder they can only get the status of a retainer even if they spend 500 points. This is reasonable.

"Captain, what should we do next?" Yuan Enci asked.

Qi Zhengxin pondered for a moment, then sat down at the table and took a deep breath. "The provincial exam is in September. It's the end of May now, and the academy starts in early June. Theoretically, as long as Fang Yun is sent to the academy, there won't be any danger before the provincial exam. After all, the academy has a strong cultural aura to suppress him, so the wizards and liches won't be able to cause any trouble."

"So the most important thing is the journey in the next few days. If you want to assassinate again, this is the last chance. And if the assassination fails this time, the strength will definitely double next time." Zhang Tianlong said.

Ning Shusheng said, "The demon soldiers are not up to par, the demon generals are equivalent to level one, and the demon king is likely to be level two. Our strength is greatly reduced now, and we can't use all our methods. If we really meet a few powerful locals in a fight, we may not be able to gain an advantage."

Qi Zhengxin pondered for a moment and said, "According to the information we've gathered so far, this world has a strict hierarchy. Scholars are divided into: Tongsheng, Xiucai, Juren, Jinshi, Hanlin, Wenzong, Daru, and above Daru is the Sage."

"In my opinion, a Tongsheng only has a trace of literary energy to nourish his body, so he is still ordinary. A Xiucai Juren can use war poems, which can barely be called the first level of combat power. The so-called Jinshi, Hanlin, Wenzong, and Daru are probably within the second level. After all, the upper and lower limits of the second level of combat power are extremely different. In this world, the hierarchy is strict and the boundaries are divided. However, the combat power displayed by them has not reached the incredible realm of the third level."

"And the Demon (Witch) Soldiers, Demon (Witch) Generals, Demon (Witch) Commanders, Demon (Witch) Kings, Demon (Witch) Emperors, Demon (Witch) Saints, and Demon (Witch) Ancestors do not strictly correspond to each other. In my opinion, if we fight with all our strength, we should be able to fight against Wenzong."

This is quite pertinent. Their team is a veteran of many battles and has survived a lot in the main god space, which is like a breeding environment for insects. All five of them are level two strong men, and each has his own strengths. When the five of them are together, there is no weakness at all. If it weren't for the fact that their abilities are limited to varying degrees in this world, what he wants to say now is not that they can fight with Wen Zong, but that they can defeat Wen Zong.

This force is by no means weak, and it is certainly enough to deal with it now. However, Qi Zhengxin is worried that if the timeline of this mission is long enough, that is, after the main mission two, or even three or four are started, will they still be able to be so calm?

According to common sense, they were thrown into the human camp at such an early stage, which means that the strength of their enemy is still stronger than them. They must grasp the plot as early as possible during this period to gain enough momentum, but he is still a little confused at the moment. It is obvious that Fang Yun is the main character, and it is definitely right to revolve around him, but how to contact higher-level people is the problem that he needs to think about more as the captain.

At this moment, Ning Caichen, who had been silent since entering this world, suddenly said, "Captain, I have something to say."
