Thanks for the invitation, I am in the state of collapse, brushing attribute upgrade

In the discussions between Gwyn and netizens in his previous life, the so-called earth marrow was most likely a trace of power bestowed by the Amber King, the most powerful earth engineer in the universe.

Faced with the fact that this might be the product of a miracle brought down by the Amber King, Gwyn naturally would not be without ideas.

However, Gwyn had never put it into practice out of caution because he had been at the headquarters of Destiny or within the surveillance range of Destiny.

Now that he has finally left Destiny alone, Gwyn naturally wants to study the Essence of the Earth carefully... and see if he can use it for himself.

Chapter 122 Wuchen

It was hard but not cold. Instead, it gave people an unexpected feeling of warmth. There was even a faint glow in the dark space under the quilt, like a bonfire in the snow.

Because he had to keep it a secret from Otto, Gwyn was unable to use Skyward's many high-tech equipment to conduct a scientific examination of the earth marrow. He could only rely on his own perception and the little knowledge he had learned when he was helping Changguang to try to explore the power in the earth marrow.

For example, can the energy in this ore, which provides the necessary heat to the isolated city of Beloberg just like coal in the ordinary world, be directly absorbed?

Or perhaps, learn something from the energy composition of the earth's marrow...

The experiment began quickly. Thanks to Gwen's recent participation in the research on the magic stone and his own strong mental power, Gwen's research went smoothly. He soon felt the warm power contained in the earth marrow ore that he had just received from Cocolia tonight.

Unfortunately, although the research went smoothly, the goal Gwen wanted was not achieved as smoothly -

"Although the energy within the earth's marrow releases its energy in the form of heat and light like a flame, its nature is extremely stable. It's not like the Honkai energy within the Demonic Stone, which can be absorbed at will. It's like a thick wall, unshakable, and can only be allowed to function in its own way..."

Gwynedd was summarizing the conclusions drawn from several hours of research in his mind, but he was not disappointed. Instead, he calmly put away the earth marrow ore, took out two light and shadow stones, held them in his hands, silently chanted the divine sound in his heart, and began to practice day after day.

It would be best to find a shortcut, but Gwyn, who already has a way to go, will not stop there...

The next morning, in the somewhat dazzling sunlight, Gwyn slowly opened his eyes and welcomed the first morning since he left the Destiny headquarters alone.

Although he was so excited yesterday that he lost himself in thought, when he woke up today, Gwyn's heart was as calm as water, not much different from usual.

"I am... Dustless?"

After opening his eyes, he did not rush to get up, but just lay quietly in bed for a long time, carefully feeling his body which seemed to have undergone some changes. Gwen couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

After carefully feeling the changes in his body and comparing it with Fu Hua's teachings, Ge Wen found that he seemed to have reached the second level of mind, Wuchen.

"Comprehension is something that is truly baffling..."

Gwyn muttered to himself, and although he was happy about it, his spirit did not fluctuate at all.

As the saying goes, when the lake of the heart freezes, it is free from dust.

Of course, the word "frozen" here cannot be simply understood literally as freezing the lake of the heart and cutting off all love and affection. Instead, it is a description of the state of mind, as if there is a thin layer of ice on the lake of the heart, and even if a hurricane hits, it is difficult to stir up the slightest ripple...

After carefully feeling his physical condition, Gwen discovered that some subtle changes seemed to have occurred in his body.

The most obvious thing is that the resistance to Honkai and adaptability seem to have both improved.

In addition, there seemed to be some subtle changes in the body that Gwen could not clearly discover by relying on simple self-examination.

In addition to the most basic physical changes, the endless circulation of the five elements in Gwyn's body seemed to be more smooth, and Gwyn's intuitive feeling was that the running speed was a bit faster.

Moreover, it seemed that because of last night's research on the suspected power of the Amber King in the earth's marrow, the earth attribute in Gwyn's five elements cycle became a bit heavier.

Fortunately, the five elements cycle in Gwyn's body has long been stabilized. The limited strengthening of the earth attribute will not destroy the current balance, but will only promote the overall strengthening of this cycle after a certain period of time.

Besides this, Gwen had a feeling that his practice of "Awakening the Nerves" seemed to have undergone some subtle changes that he could only intuitively understand...

After checking the benefits of his change in state of mind after leaving the Destiny headquarters alone, Gwen did not really relax and stay in bed for a long time. Instead, he quickly got up, washed up, and went out, preparing to do the first thing he did after arriving in this city -

Buy a house!

Although for missions that last a few months at most, staying in a hotel for a few months seems to be more cost-effective than buying a house, and Gwen has no urge for revenge consumption.

However, in order to be consistent with his character, Gwyn, the young master of a wealthy family, still chose to spend lavishly.

With money paving the way, buying a house, which originally required careful research, planning, and choosing a location, only took Gwen half a day.

Although it costs a lot more money than the former, it saves you a lot of trouble.

After settling the accommodation issue in the morning, Gwen was not in a hurry to move in. Instead, he asked the agent to purchase all the furniture and appliances in the afternoon. After lunch, he went to Qianyu Academy, a well-known institution in Changkong City.

Unlike the girls' school in a certain version of the setting, the Senyu Academy in the world where Gwen is located is a co-educational school with a long history and is famous for its excellent admission rate. Every year, many outstanding students are admitted to world-renowned universities such as the University of Tokyo and Waseda University.

Of course, this is just what is written on the school's official website.

In fact, according to the information that Gwen saw, Senyu Academy was founded in the past as an institution to educate nobles and samurai families. Later, it was divided into a middle school as the education system was hierarchical. It was similar to Shuchiin next door, but its influence was not as large.

The biggest similarity is that even now, when the aristocracy has been abolished, there are still many talented people born into wealthy and prestigious families who will shoulder the fate of the country in the future and study here.

In short, it is a classic private aristocratic school and a social gathering place for the Celestial Dragons.

Although there are some who were admitted based on their academic performance or were forced in by their parents through connections, their situation can be imagined.

Of course, with Gwen's current status, there is no need to worry about this. If he transfers to this academy, he will definitely be a member of the Celestial Dragons.

Although he had to flee to the Far East because of the trouble he caused at the banquet, he was still on the same level as those "chosen ones" of Japan.

Before leaving Europe and coming to the Far East, Gwen's "family elders" had already established connections. Gwen didn't need to visit Qianyu Academy today, which had suffered a lot in many fan works. He just needed to go through the admission procedures, confirm his transfer to the class, and pick up school uniforms, textbooks and other items.

In this way, Gwyn successfully enrolled in Senba Academy and joined the class where Mei Raiden was.

When Gwen left the office of the dean of Qianyu Academy, it was already time for school to end in the afternoon.

Chapter 123 Chance Encounter

Unlike the boarding high school where Gwen used to have a packed schedule of classes every day, the middle schools in Japan would finish classes at 3:30 or 4:00 in the afternoon. The students had the rest of the time at their disposal, and most chose to spend their youth in sociable groups.

What should we do about arranging the grades like this?

The answer from ordinary schools is to send you to cram schools. The school is only responsible for teaching basic knowledge. As for targeted practice questions to improve scores and deviation values and allow you to go to college, that is the job of the cram school.

However, for the majority of students at Qianyu Academy, grades are only a small goal of studying here. The more important task is to make friends who will be in the same circle in the future.

Therefore, the club activities of Qianyu Academy are very successful. Not only are they well-known in Japan, but they are also among the best among high school students.

Gwen, who was leaving Qianyu Academy with his school uniform, passed by these students who were happily preparing to participate in club activities after class.

Gwen, who was not wearing a school uniform and had an outstanding appearance, with some European features on his face that were different from those of Asians, naturally became the focus of the crowd's attention.

Although these students did not rashly come up to talk to Gwen based on the principle of "not causing trouble to others", it was inevitable that they would secretly discuss something behind his back.

Gwen didn't care about this at all. After all, he had encountered this kind of situation many times in the headquarters and had long been accustomed to it.

However, before Gwen walked out of the area in front of the teaching building, he stopped in his tracks.

It wasn’t that the third Honkai broke out before he even entered Senba Academy, but rather that the crowd ahead completely blocked the road.

With the advantage of his rapid height growth in the past two years, Gwen could see that the students in front of him spontaneously made way for him.

However, these students made way not out of respect, but with more or less disgust and disdain on their faces.

Whether they are sincere or not, in the neon environment, if they want to avoid being excluded, they must fit in and do what "everyone else does".

And in Chiba Academy, the dislike for Mei Raiden, who was already being condemned by everyone, was definitely one of such things—

In the "VIP passage" that the crowd "actively avoided", Mei Raiden, wearing a Chiba Academy girl's uniform, stockings on her legs, and her long purple hair tied with a purple spotted butterfly, walked towards the school gate with a cold expression.

On both sides of the "VIP passage", students who were also wearing Qianyu Academy uniforms were whispering in twos and threes, almost saying all kinds of slanderous words to their faces.

Just from what Gwen heard, there were rumors such as "**", "kept", "daughter of a criminal", etc., which were either based on fact or fabricated.

And Raiden Mei is also well aware of this——

Even though she is still just a brave high school girl, Mei Raiden can hear the "whispers" of the students on both sides that are no different from ordinary conversations.

In response, Mei Raiden seemed not to hear it. She walked through the crowd with a cold face and quickly left the campus.

After experiencing the fickleness of human nature, Mei Raiden has gradually come to understand the true meaning of those difficult words her father occasionally said. The arrogance that was originally developed simply because of her background and the flattery of her classmates has turned into a coldness to protect herself and deal with the seemingly omnipresent targeting.

Looking at Mei Raiden's cold and arrogant back that matched her former title of "Queen of Thunder", the discussions in the small groups became even more unscrupulous.

Even the few small groups around Gwen who noticed that he was an outsider did not have many concerns.

Even in this world that is very different from the OTL line, many things remain unchanged, such as the underdog conquering the superior.

When Mei Raiden was still the "Queen of Raiden", they were all respectful and behaved like well-organized subjects.

And when Mei Raiden fell into the dust, everyone was eager to step on her, enjoying the ** of the underdog over the superior.

Even though most of these students are considered the "superiors" among the inferiors to most Japanese people, it does not prevent them from liking this feeling.

In response, Gwyn just watched coldly and did not take any action.

After all, he was just a transfer student who knew nothing about anything. If he rashly jumped out to uphold justice, it would only arouse suspicion.

After the plague god, Mei Lei Dian, left, the crowd quickly resumed its flow, and Gwyn also slowly walked out of the school gate.

However, just after leaving the school gate and walking two blocks, Gwen saw a dangling white pigtail in the alley, and heard the impatient voice of a girl:

"Tell me, who sent you?

Yumiko or Yoshiko?"

The girl in the Chiba Academy uniform said this, kicking the sturdy man who was lying on the ground, curled up like a shrimp, with her black square-toed leather shoes.

Judging from her words, the white-haired girl seemed to be the one being troubled.

But judging from the men lying on the ground, the white-haired girl seemed to be the one causing trouble.

"Hmph... I guess I was wrong..."

The man, knowing that he would lose his job completely if he told the truth, held his breath and said with a groan.

Although he was beaten almost to death, the man, who had learned how to take a beating, also realized that his bones might not have been broken and the other party did not intend to kill him.

Since he is not a reckless young man who would kill people at any time, he might as well hold on a little longer. If he doesn't give the girl away, he still has a chance of keeping his job.

The men who were also lying on the ground twitching were surprised and even horrified at the girl's incredible strength that easily knocked them down, but they also responded in the same way.

"Humph!"

Hearing this, the white-haired girl frowned and snorted, then stepped on the man's ankle.

"Do you really think that I dare not take action?

Do you believe I can give you hundreds more bones?"

"..."

In an instant, the man who had been so tough just now fell silent, and the sound of him swallowing could even be heard clearly in the alley.

However, before the men could answer, a voice came from outside the alley, breaking the silence.

"Normally, they would be dead before they even have a few hundred bones left on their bodies..."

"who!"

Kiana, who was trying to use threats to identify the mastermind behind the incident, was startled. She took two steps away from the people on the ground and turned to look at the alley entrance, only to see a familiar-looking black-haired young man.

Kiana's brain, still actively functioning, quickly reminded her of the source of this familiar feeling, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

At least, the possibility that Gwyn and these people are in the same group is not very high. It is more likely that they are just passing by.

However, Kiana did not let her guard down and warned:

"These guys aren't good people. They might have someone behind the scenes directing them. I suggest you stay out of it..."

Chapter 124 Kiana: This person is probably using a pseudonym

Although years of wandering life have made Kiana not mind using threats and other means to solve some problems, Siegfried's education still makes Kiana have the traditional Kaslana side, and she does not want to put others in danger, even if Gwyn did not leave a good first impression on her.

As for Kiana's reminder, Gwen didn't seem to care much and smiled:

“Thank you for your reminder, classmate.

However, they alone are not qualified to cause me trouble."

"Oh……"
