Chapter 11 The Lin family abandoned their son

"Okay, the first class will be here. Come here tomorrow." Zhang Yu picked up the air and put on a cold look so that Wu Chen would not continue to get entangled.

At this moment, the unique mechanical electronic sound of the system sounded again in Zhang Yu's mind.

"The system detected that the number of students from Cangqiong Academy was less than ten, and a task is now released."

[Main Task 4: Expand the number of students to make the number of students from Cangqiong Academy reach ten]

[A great college should have a corresponding scale. How can a mere three students satisfy the rising Sky Academy? Please be sure to recruit more students to expand the influence of the college. The greater the influence of the college, the greater the influence of the dean, the greater the influence of the college, the greater the influence of the dean will also increase.]

[Task Reward: Sky Contract Book]

【Task time limit: 72 hours】

【Task Failure: No Punishment】

"This task is not difficult, and there is plenty of time." Zhang Yu is no longer Wu Xia Ameng, and he is full of confidence in completing this task. "I just don't know what this 'Sky Contract Book' is..."

The system rarely explains: "The Sky Contract is a special registration form. Any student who signs the name on the contract will be loyal to the Sky College for life. Even if he graduates from the Sky College in the future and leaves the Sky College, he will remain loyal to the Sky students."

When Zhang Yu heard this, his eyes widened: "So amazing!"

Students who have signed the contract will be loyal to Cangqiong Academy for the rest of their lives?

"Good thing!" Zhang Yu couldn't wait, "I must get this thing, immediately, right away!"

Looking at Zhang Yu with a changeable expression, Wu Chen felt a little worried and asked carefully: "Dean, then, are we leaving?"

Zhang Yu came back to his senses, glanced at Wu Chen, and his eyes suddenly lit up. His eyes turned, and a gentle smile appeared on his face: "Wu Chen, Wu Clan leader! Do you think there are too few students in our academy?"

"Dean, if you have any instructions, just say it." Wu Chen did not dare to call himself the leader of the Wu clan in front of Zhang Yu.

"Okay, I'll just say it. Cangkong Academy needs more students, but I, as the dean, cannot come forward in person, so... I have to ask you for a moment." Zhang Yu looked at Wu Chen with a smile, "You are the head of the Wu family. You know more people than me and have a greater influence than me. Just a few words should be able to recruit a lot of students for Cangkong Academy."

"This..." To be honest, Wu Chen wanted to refuse.

To him, Cangkong Academy is a huge cake, so naturally he doesn’t want others to share it.

But he also knew that he could not stop such a thing. Even if he refused, Zhang Yu had a complete way to recruit students through other channels.

Instead of doing this, it is better to take this matter yourself, not only to please Zhang Yu, but also to take the initiative.

With countless thoughts in his mind, Wu Chen finally focused: "Since the dean can trust me, then leave this matter to me!"

"Don't worry, I have another requirement, that is... seven students must be recruited within two days." Zhang Yu said slowly.

The eggs cannot be placed in one basket, and Zhang Yu cannot put all his hopes in Wuchen. The system requires three days, so he only asks for two, and reserves one day. Even if this old guy is making trouble behind his back, he at least has room for maneuver.

...

In the afternoon, Zhang Yu left Wu Mo alone and taught him the alchemy technique.

Wu Mo has never been exposed to alchemy, so for the first time I heard Zhang Yu say that he has the talent for alchemy, which seems a bit incredible: "I have the talent for alchemy?"

Alchemist, a profession with a high status, and now, I also have the hope of becoming an alchemist?

The huge surprise made Wu Mo's mind a little confused.

Looking at Wu Mo's excited look, Zhang Yu couldn't help but sigh: "After all, Huangcheng is too small and remote. If Wu Mo was born in the imperial capital of the Zhou Dynasty, such an alchemy talent would have been discovered long ago." Huangcheng is just a border area of ​​the Zhou Dynasty, and few strong people are coming, let alone alchemists as rare as giant pandas.

After coming back to his senses, Zhang Yu explained the basic knowledge of alchemy to Wumo, and then began to refine alchemy, allowing Wumo to observe.

"The system detected that the host is teaching alchemy and now publishes a task."

[Main Task 5: Cultivate a One-Star Alchemist]

[A great college should tap into the potential of students and cultivate students in the most correct direction so that every student can maximize their strengths]

【Task Reward: Two-Star Alchemy】

【Task time limit: one month】

【Task Failure: No Punishment】

Zhang Yu heard the sound of the system, but was not distracted and focused. He had to concentrate when refining alchemy.

Wu Mo looked at Zhang Yu who was focused on refining alchemy and was shocked: "The dean is actually an alchemist!"

Even if it is just the lowest-ranking alchemist, it still has a transcendent position!

...

The Lin family, one of the second-rate families in the deserted city, is not as good as the five top forces such as the Wu family, the City Lord’s Mansion, the Golden Eagle Sect, the Chenguang Academy, and the Yunshan Academy, but it cannot be underestimated. The head of the Lin family is a powerful person in the Qixuan Eighth Level, and he has a good relationship with the Wu family leader Wu Chen, so that top forces like the City Lord’s Mansion and the Chenguang Academy will not easily provoke the Lin family.

There is a bamboo forest in the backyard of Lin Mansion, and there is a small lake beside the bamboo forest.

At this time, a young man, about sixteen years old, was sitting on the shore of the lake, fishing, with a faint touch of self-deprecation on the corner of his green mouth.

"In another month, I will be sixteen years old." The boy raised his head and looked up at the sky, with a deep feeling of melancholy and unwillingness in his eyes. "As soon as I reach sixteen, I will be sent to the east street to be a... shopkeeper!"

The boy clenched his fists hard, and his fingers were slightly blue because he used too much force: "Shopkeeper! Haha... I'm really unwilling to give up!"

For ordinary people, it is worth celebrating to be able to get a shopkeeper position in this life, but for a young man, how can he be willing to be a small shopkeeper who has seen the magnificent sky?

The word shopkeeper... is a great irony for any Lin family member.

The Lin family has been operating in the deserted city for hundreds of years and has long been scattered, with a prosperous population and a very rich heritage. However, within the Lin family, only those who are extremely talented and completely abandoned by the family will be sent to the shop as shopkeepers.

It can be said that every shopkeeper of the Lin family store is a marginal person who is far away from the core of the Lin family.

The boy is not the first to be sent to be a shopkeeper, nor will he be the last one.

"In one month, I can still enjoy the last month of leisure." The boy was silent for a while and sighed long. On his tender face, there was a melancholy that he shouldn't have at this age.

Just then, behind the boy, a ridicule came: "Why, our shopkeeper Lin Ming is thinking about life again?"

Lin Ming did not look back. Just listening to this familiar voice, he knew who the visitor was.

"Tell me quickly if you have something to do, and let go if you have farts." Lin Ming held the fishing rod in his hand and said lightly.

"What a shame? A waste who has not reached the first level of Qixuan Realm after practicing for four years. What qualifications do you have to show off in front of me?" Lin Sen snorted coldly, and then sneered again, "Oh, I was wrong. Manager Lin Ming is the future big manager. I should find a way to please you now. Maybe when I go to the store to buy something in the future, you can still give me some discounts."

Lin Ming threw down the fishing rod, stood up, looked directly at Lin Sen, and said calmly: "Since you say I am a waste, is it interesting to show your superiority on a waste?" He had heard of similar sarcasm countless times, and could hardly cause a stir in his heart.

Feeling Lin Ming's dull reaction, Lin Sen lost interest and said, "Okay, I'm too lazy to talk to you more. The patriarch asked you to go to the council hall right away."

"Parliament Hall?" Lin Ming frowned, with a hint of confusion in his eyes, "Isn't there a month left? Why let me go now?"

Lin Sen shrugged: "How do I know? Maybe I'll let you feel the feeling of being a shopkeeper in advance!"

The ears automatically filtered Lin Sen's stimulating words. Lin Ming thought while walking straight to the parliament hall.

...

When Lin Ming came to the parliament hall, the parliament hall was empty, with only the patriarch.

The head of the Lin family is named Lin Zhan. It seems to be a white-haired old man. According to generation, Lin Ming should call him Grandpa Second, because Lin Ming's grandpa is the eldest brother of the head of the clan leader.

"You are here." Lin Zhan turned around and looked at Lin Ming, with a hint of regret flashing in his eyes. The Lin family was in full bloom, but among so many people, there was almost no second junior with such a demeanor. There was no doubt that, in terms of nature, there were probably not many people in the Lin family who could compare with Lin Ming, but it was a pity... his talent was too poor.

Lin Ming let Lin Zhan look at him and gave a bow without being humble or arrogant: "Class leader."

Lin Zhan nodded, then stroked his long beard and asked, "Lin Ming, have you ever resented me?"

"Resentment?" Lin Ming looked at Lin Zhan in confusion.

"I didn't give you the opportunity to continue practicing, so I sent you to East Street to be a shopkeeper." Lin Zhan spoke out bluntly and picked up sensitive topics.

"There is no resentment, I'm just a little unwilling to give up." Lin Ming shook his head.

"How can I explain this?"

"I know how talented I am. Even if I continue to practice, I will only waste time. Maybe I will occasionally feel a little lucky, but I still have to face reality." Although Lin Ming is young, his wisdom is extraordinary. "It is better to look for another way now than to wait until he hits the south wall. Although the patriarch cut off my path of cultivation, he has arranged another way for me. At least, I don't have to worry about not covering my clothes and not filling my stomach in the future, and my life is rich enough."

Even if the Lin family abandoned their sons, they were much better than ordinary people. On the contrary, if there were no Lin family, they might not even beggars on the street. In this way, what qualifications do you have to resent?

At the end of the conversation, Lin Ming had a touch of self-deprecation: "Besides... the Lin family's huge family business always needs someone to take care of, right?"

"What if... I'll give you another chance?" Lin Zhan looked at Lin Ming with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Lin Ming suddenly raised his head, and his calm mood was like a huge rock smashing into a pool, boiling instantly.
