After the archive is damaged, I live in another world

Xu Mu's face turned serious, his eyes deep. He took a deep breath, as if recalling something: "It's more than just familiar, it's almost life-threatening."

"Ah, it seems like the two of you get along very well."

Violet looked back and forth between Xu Mu and Chi Jinlian with an ambiguous smile.

Chi Jinlian glanced at Xu Mu and said calmly, "Teacher, you seem to have misunderstood something... Nothing happened between Mr. Xu and me."

"Hmm? I don't think that's a bad thing. You're both single, right? And, the fact that you two came to me at the same time was clearly destiny—didn't you have sex? To celebrate this miraculous encounter."

"It's certainly not a bad thing, but nothing really happened. Teacher, Mr. Xu is a gentleman. He didn't even stay overnight and went home to sleep every night. His restraint surprised me. For a moment, I even wondered if I was unattractive."

"what--"

This surprised Violet.

She glanced at Xu Mu's crotch and asked, "Xu Mu, is there something wrong with your function? Do you want me to treat you?"

I have no problem!

what are you saying?

And how is the treatment done? If you want to do it yourself, then I can check it out for you.

Xu Mu waved his hand and said seriously, "Master Chi Jinlian was a teammate of the Hero Nolan. In the abandoned Demon King's Palace, the Hero Nolan voluntarily gave up his chance to survive and chose to stay alone. Although an accident happened in the end and I became the unlucky one left behind, the courage and integrity shown by the Hero Nolan still inspired me. I didn't want him to misunderstand anything, so I chose to go home and sleep."

It turned out to be the case.

can not tell.

You are still a gentleman.

Violet stood up and said, “Since you two have completed my test ahead of time, there is nothing more to discuss. Come with me, and I will take you to see the rubbing of the Universal Shield.”

……

……

Many rubbings are preserved in the Magic Research Institute.

Unlike the Saint Museum, you don't need money to view the rubbings here, but you do need qualifications - in a sense, the threshold is higher than that of the Saint Museum.

As a top spellcaster, Violet certainly has privileges.

Under her leadership, Xu Mu and Chi Jinlian simply registered themselves before passing through the guards and the numerous magic arrays and entering the "Rubbing Center".

This is a facility hidden deep underground.

The basic configuration was a sentry every five steps and a guard every ten steps. After walking down the slope with the perpetual magic lamp on for about a quarter of an hour, Violet led Xu Chi and the others to a deep well and started the elevator.

"Ka-dong."

The elevator landed. Xu Mu looked around and found that the layout here was very similar to that of the Saint Museum.

In the cylindrical space, iron doors are embedded in the surrounding walls at equal distances.

There is a sign next to the iron gate indicating what rubbing is behind it.

Under the watchful eyes of a dozen guards, Violet led the two to the iron gate of the Universal Shield and said, “This is where the Universal Shield rubbings are located. Now that you have passed my test, I believe you will master this skill soon.”

That's right.

The BUFFs are all set, how can I not understand it?

Chi Jinlian nodded and said, "I won't waste too much of your time, teacher."

click!

Violet opened the iron gate and Xu Mu walked in. He looked up and saw the rubbing hanging on the wall.

"Is this... the Universal Shield?"

Chi Jinlian followed closely behind Xu Mu, looking at the rubbing in front of her.

About two meters long and one and a half meters wide, the rubbing is painted with a picture that looks like a sea of ​​stars, as if it hides endless secrets.

Xu Mu took a glance, the blessing on his status bar disappeared, the rubbing on the wall glowed, and "Universal Shield" appeared in his skill bar.

Learned.

He turned around and found that Chi Jinlian's eyes were bright and her expression was focused. She seemed to be trying to comprehend the mystery of the rubbing. Even the flash of the rubbing could not interrupt her thoughts.

It seems that she is making good progress.

Chapter 109 # 108 Are you getting on board? [3500 monthly tickets plus more]

[Universal Shield]: Consumes mana to shield targets within ten meters. Elemental shields cannot block physical damage or pure mana blasts, but can absorb elemental damage. If the Universal Shield absorbs excessive elemental damage, it generates an elemental burst.

Xu Mu took a look at the skill description and keenly noticed the little trick in the text.

Apply elemental shield to the target. Both enemies and friends are "targets".

After absorbing enough elemental damage, it explodes.

What you mean is that you can put the Universal Shield on the enemy, then add elemental damage to it, and finally blow it up in the face, right?

To extend further——

The Universal Shield is also a sealing skill. If the enemy is an elementalist, then the Universal Shield will be put on his head. It will be useless for him to use the elemental skills, and it will be useless for him not to use the elemental skills.

If not, the elementalist would lose his most advantageous means of attack, and his situation would be greatly disadvantageous.

Once used, elemental attacks will be absorbed before they are launched, and when fully absorbed, the Universal Shield can be detonated.

This……

It’s quite strong. Universal Shield is simply the father of elementalists.

"Buzz!"

Xu Mu was still thinking when a sharp sound suddenly rang out in the small rubbing room.

An invisible energy emerged, pushing Xu Mu back half a step. Xu Mu looked up and saw Chi Jinlian's dress fluttering, her golden hair dancing, and transparent magic surrounding her. It was the skill "Universal Shield"!

"Ha! I got it!"

Chi Jinlian clenched her fists, pursed her lips, and her eyes were full of excitement.

She looked at Xu Mu and asked, "Xu Mu, how are you progressing?"

Xu Mu nodded: "I learned it too, let's go out."

How can I not learn it?

With Violet's blessing, Xu Mu didn't even need to take any potions to increase his attributes. He mastered the Universal Shield in a single glance.

It’s time to say it or not.

Xu Mu was so confused by this impressive move that she didn't know whether this "blessing" was an ability possessed by every great wizard or just a privilege of Violet.

As they walked inside, the gray-haired Violet turned and smiled, “How was it? My advanced lessons were helpful, weren’t they?”

indeed.

Chi Jinlian lifted the hem of her skirt and bowed, "Teacher, thank you for your guidance."

“Don’t call me teacher anymore, just call me Violet!”

Violet gestured and returned with Xu Mu and Chi Jinlian the same way they had come.

When they reached the rubbing center, she suddenly said, "Xu Mu, could you please stay a moment? I have a favor to ask of you."

"?"

please me?

What can I do.

Chi Jinlian understood the situation and said with a smile, "Well, Master Violet, I'll take my leave now."

Violet smiled and nodded. “Chi Jinlian, next time you want to learn a skill or have any questions, you can come to me directly. You have talent, and I am willing to help you grow.”

"what."

Chi Jinlian smiled.

She bowed her head, appearing extremely respectful. "It's my honor! Mage Violet, I hope you will continue to support me in the future."

The two of them exchanged a few polite words and then said goodbye.

Xu Mu watched Chi Jinlian leave, then turned and asked, "Master Violet, how can I help you?"

"Well, it's like this. I'm currently conducting a research project and need a hundred kilograms of 'star sand' - could you help me collect it? I'm willing to pay fifteen gold coins."

"what……"

Do you want me to take the risk?

Xu Mu hesitated for a moment and said, "Master Violet, my combat ability is not outstanding."

Violet smiled and said, “No need to fight. There’s a large lake in the abandoned Demon King’s Palace. Do you remember? I found a large amount of high-quality star sand accumulated at the bottom of that lake. Just go to the bottom and fish out a hundred pounds for me.”

Is that right?

You're not giving me money.

There are still twenty-five days left until the Adventurer's Cup finals, and the abandoned Demon King's Palace is controlled by the Free City's defense forces, so we can definitely go there!

only……

Why are you looking for me?

Someone of Violet's caliber wouldn't need to personally arrange for access to research materials, right?

If she said that, her students and research institute cadres would probably rush over.

Violet noticed Xu Mu's hesitation and continued, "Xu Mu, listen to what Anya and Nanasha said... You've just arrived in the Free City, so you're not financially well off, are you? Collecting star sand is something anyone can do, and I'm only paying you the market price. If you're willing to help, it will benefit both you and me."

Oh!

So that’s it!

Xu Mu was startled for a moment, then smiled and said, "Master Violet, so you want to help me."

"Ah, I don't like the term 'lift'. It's about helping each other, right?"

KIRA!

Violet blinked.

This woman looks to be only about thirty years old, a mature woman with great charm, but her actual age is estimated to be at least four years old.

But she blinked like this—

Xu Mu was still shocked.

No problem at all. Master Violet is such a thoughtful person. If she doesn't accept this commission, would she still be a human being?

If you don’t take advantage of an opportunity, you’re a bastard!

Xu Mu touched his jaw and said, "You've helped me, so I have to cover for you. One hundred kilograms of star sand, right? I'll help you collect it and ensure it's of the highest quality and the correct weight."

"Thank you for your hard work. I'm not in a hurry. Just give it to me within this month. Here's my power of attorney, and also - a deposit."

Violet took out three gold coins from her cleavage and handed them to Xu Mu.

Xu Mu took it and said with a smile: "I will complete the commission as soon as possible."

……

……

Xu Mu said goodbye to Violet and walked alone to the entrance of the research institute.

There is a car parked at the door.

With its streamlined body, azure blue paint, low chassis and bright headlights, this is a luxury car that can only be driven on city roads - Ms. Huo Fregui.

In the driver's seat, Chi Jinlian, wearing sunglasses, honked the horn and said to Xu Mu, "Mr. Xu, let me take you home."

There was a constant stream of people at the entrance of the institute.

Chi Jinlian was so high-profile that she naturally attracted everyone's attention.

They looked at the luxury car, then at the beautiful woman in it, and finally at the ordinary, indifferent Xu Mu.
