Chapter 145 Scholar Registration Assessment, Knowledge Grating!

[You raise the ‘Thunder Dragon Staff Spear’ and recite the spell silently...]

[The shining starlight gathered at the tip of the staff, and the thunderous starlight flashed...]

[The 'Hot Star Light' shot towards the giant monster in the fog, but was blocked by the knowledge grating. 】

[Weak ripples appeared on the knowledge grating, and then the ripples subsided and remained intact...]

Lin Xun frowned.

The protection of the knowledge grating seems to be two-way. After the grating is activated, monsters from outside cannot come in, and people inside cannot get out.

It was the same when dealing with the 'Refined Copper Monster' in the basement of the smelting plant.

He released the 'Hot Star Light' several more times, and even asked the Valkyrie to shoot a few arrows, but they were unable to penetrate the knowledge grating and hit the Mysterious Abnormality.

[The giant monster in the fog roared, and was blocked by the knowledge grating. Unable to advance even an inch, it began to retreat slowly...]

The bewildered monster was unable to set foot in the 'Multi-Visual School Association'. It seemed that its patience was exhausted and it was ready to retreat.

Lin Xun secretly thought something was wrong. He finally got a chance to safely spawn monsters, how could he let it go to waste like this?

He was thinking quickly in his mind.

Ordinary spell skills cannot penetrate the knowledge grating, so can the 'illusory knowledge infusion' penetrate the grating?

Seeing that the monster was about to retreat, he quickly pressed the skill.

[You open the dense eyes on your face, and countless complex characters appear out of thin air...]

[The characters with flashing white light penetrated the knowledge grating without any hindrance and shot towards the giant monster in the fog...]

[Complex characters rushed into the giant monster's body, and the giant monster let out a painful roar, seeming to be slightly traumatized. 】

[It stopped retreating and rushed towards you again, but was blocked by the knowledge grating...]

Success!

‘Illusive knowledge infusion’ can ignore the knowledge grating and hit monsters directly.

Lin Xun found a way to spawn monsters and began to huddle inside the grating, constantly using skills.

[You look directly at the giant monster in the fog, and countless complicated characters appear out of thin air...]

[The character penetrates the knowledge grating and hits the giant monster...]

[You look directly at the giant monster in the fog, and countless complex characters appear out of thin air...]

[The character penetrates the knowledge grating and hits the giant monster...]

…

After pressing the skills for a long time, my hands were sore.

After the text showed "You feel a little tired...", the troll finally lay down!

[Characters poured into the giant monster's body, and with a shrill howl, the giant monster slowly fell...]

[You have defeated the ‘unknown giant’, and your experience points have increased tremendously! 】

[The power within the body begins to boil, and the body level of the ‘Sunken Earth Giant’ increases. The current body level is: 37]

[You have obtained ‘a small piece of spirituality of epiphany’*1]

[You have obtained the ‘Lens of the Knowledge-seeking Obscurant Monster’ (rare+ level prop)]

The death of the troll yields thirty thousand souls and a rare + level divine item.

Lin Xun still has one piece on hand. As long as he kills another confusing monster, he can gather three pieces to synthesize an epic divine item.

However, at present, he can only use the protection of the knowledge grating to brush the trolls. Without the knowledge grating, the trolls will not stand still and let him use his skills.

After killing the giant monster, Lin Xun continued to explore the association.

[You step forward, and soon a tall stone sculpture appears in the mist. The stone sculpture is a scholar with a vague face, wearing a bachelor's hat and holding a book in his hand. 】

[Behind the stone carvings is a building with many inexplicable characters carved on the outer wall of the building. 】

[Do you want to enter the ‘Multiple Vision School Association Building’? 】

Lin Xun's heart moved and he opened the body bar.

[You are possessed by the body of the ‘fallen earth giant’! 】

The combat space in the indoor environment is relatively narrow, and the earth giant can perform better in close combat.

[You step onto the steps, and the ‘Battle Angel—Valkyrie’ follows you step by step. You open the door of the building and step inside...]

[Countless kerosene lamps are lit in the hall, and the bright lights illuminate the entire hall. 】

[The reception counter in the center of the hall is empty, and a huge glowing book page floats behind the counter. 】

[You found the remaining pages of the Book of Salvation—the resting pages! 】

[Going past the reception counter is a deep corridor, and there are also corridors connected to the left and right sides of the hall. 】

【Where are you going? 】

Lin Xun stepped forward to the reception counter, activated the rest book page, and set the resurrection point.

[You found a drawing at the reception desk. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a guide map of the association's building. 】

[You have obtained the ‘Guide Map of the Multi-view School Association Building’ (map)]

[‘Guidance Map of the Multi-view School Association Building’ (map), a map recording various areas of the association building. Carrying this prop, you will be able to identify the regional distribution on each floor of the association building based on the marks on the guide map. 】

[The corridor on the left side of the hall leads to the scholar registration hall. 】

[The corridor on the right side of the hall leads to the scholar assessment examination room. 】

[Going through the corridor of the reception counter, it leads to the Scholars Auditorium and the elevator to the second floor of the association building. 】

【Apostle with many choices, where are you going?】

Scholar registration hall? Assessment examination room?

Lin Xun frowned and realized that things were not simple. The association building did not seem to be an ordinary monster spawning map.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to go to the 'Scholar Registration Hall' on the left first.

[As you step into the corridor on the left, the 'Battle Angel - Valkyrie' puts the arrow on the bow string and follows you closely, ready to draw the bow and shoot at any time. 】

[You strode forward and soon walked through the corridor and came to an empty hall. 】

[Sitting behind the reception counter in the hall is an elderly scholar wearing a bachelor's hat and bachelor's uniform. 】

[When it saw your arrival, the dense eyes on its face all opened, and excitement flashed in its many eyes. 】

[The first time you saw the form of the 'Registrar of the Knowledge-Seeking Multi-Vision Association', the numerous eyes made your hair stand on end. You only felt dizzy, and a stream of disordered knowledge was poured into your soul. 】

[You have gained knowledge, and your knowledge has increased by 500! Current amount of knowledge: 1000/2700]

[The ‘Registrar of the Knowledge-seeking Association’ curled his lips in disdain after seeing your face clearly. 】

[It tells you that this is the registration hall of the Multiview School Association, a noble place for scholars to register their status. For vulgar warriors like you to enter here is simply to desecrate the sacred palace. 】

[You'd better leave this place while it's in a good mood, otherwise it will summon guards and drive you out. 】

Lin Xun sneered. The guards had just been turned into experience points by him. Where did you go to summon the guards?

The person in front of him should be an NPC with a plot, so he was in no hurry to take action.

Going by the words of the 'Registrar of the Knowledge-Seeking Association', it seems that the earth giant body he is currently possessing cannot trigger the event.

Lin Xun opened the body bar and changed into a new body.

[You are possessed by the body of the ‘Yellow Bishop of the Sunken White Moon Church’! 】

[‘Registrar of the Knowledge-seeking Association’ saw you change your appearance and look very knowledgeable. Its eyes lit up and it hurriedly asked you, do you want to go through the scholar registration process? 】

[Apostle who has learned a lot, do you want to register as a ‘scholar’? 】

Sure enough, changing into Master Fa's body can trigger corresponding events.

Of course he chose 'yes'.

[The 'Registrar of the Knowledge-seeking Association' heard that you wanted to register as a scholar and smiled. 】

[It tells you that a scholar is a learned person who has been assessed by the association and awarded qualifications. As long as you pass the assessment, you can obtain the certificate and badge issued by the Multiview School Association and become a high-ranking scholar in the eyes of the world. 】

[But you must first pay the registration fee of 1,000 souls. 】

[Do you want to trade with the ‘knowledge-seeking multi-view association registrar’? 】

The option in front of him is trading rather than giving, which means that after Lin Xun hands over 1,000 points of spirituality, even if he kills the registrar, the traded spirituality will not be lost.

He had just killed a giant monster and received 30,000 yuan. At this time, the savings in his pocket had exceeded 90,000 yuan, but it was only a thousand spiritual points, so he gave it away.

[You take out 1,000 points of spirituality and give it to the ‘Registrar of the Knowledge-seeking Multi-Vision Association’. 】

[The 'Registrar of the Knowledge-Seeking Association' handed over a form and a quill, indicating that you should fill in your personal information. 】

[You looked at the unfamiliar words on the form and fell into deep thought for a long time...]

Damn it, the bishop in yellow must be illiterate.

This illiteracy does not mean that the yellow-robed bishop cannot read, but simply means that the bishop does not know the words of this world.

The information obtained before was displayed in system text, but Lin Xun ignored this.

In his body column, there are also the body of the factory owner from this world and the body of the guard he just picked up.

But the body of the factory owner has been lost, and it takes 1 point of soul strength to reshape it, while the guard body...

Kill the guard guarding the door, and then use the body of the guard to register a scholar. It is estimated that the registrar in front of you will immediately turn his face.

Lin Xun didn't know how to operate it for a while, and was immediately embarrassed.

[The 'Registrar of the Knowledge-seeking Association' saw that you were reluctant to write, and its expression changed. It asked you coldly, "You are not here to register as a scholar without knowing how to read, right?" 】

[Illiterate apostle, what should you do? 】

[1. He became angry and cursed loudly, ‘What’s wrong with not knowing the words? Are illiterate people eating your rice? ’ and raised the ‘Thunder Dragon Rod Gun’, and shot it through its hateful head. 】

[2. Ashamed to admit it, I whispered, "My family is very difficult. My mother has told me since I was a child that children from poor families will become rich early, so I dropped out of school to work..." in an attempt to win the registrar's sympathy by being miserable. 】

[3. Secretly bribed, saying without blushing, ‘I was studying all night a few days ago and accidentally hurt my hand, so now I can’t write with my hand’ and took out a thousand spiritual points and secretly handed it to the registrar. 】

Lin Xun twitched his lips and pressed the third option.

Problems that can be solved spiritually are not called problems.

[You took out a thousand points of spirituality, hid it under the form, and handed it together with the form to the 'Registrar of the Knowledge-seeking Polyvision Association'...]

[It silently took over the form and spirituality, staring at the untouched form...]

[After a long time, it exclaimed, "What a word!" And took out a square card and handed it to you...]

[You have obtained the ‘Scholar Assessment Qualification Certificate’ (waste product)! 】

[The 'Registrar of the Knowledge-Seeking Association' tells you that next you should go to the other side of the first floor of the association building, where is the 'scholar assessment examination room'. Only by passing the assessment can you become a true 'scholar'! 】

Lin Xun scratched his head, wanted to take an assessment?

I just hope it won’t be a written test, otherwise he will have to use his spirituality to clear the way.

After looking at the registrar in front of him, he hesitated for a while but decided not to kill him and obtain the registrar's body.

[You exit the 'Scholar Registration Hall', enter the corridor with the 'Battle Angel - Valkyrie', and return to the reception hall. 】

[What are you going to do next? 】

Lin Xun followed the process of registering a scholar and chose to enter the corridor on the right side of the hall.

[You enter the corridor on the right, and soon you pass through the corridor and come to an examination room filled with desks. 】

[There are three elderly examiners sitting in the examination room. When one of them saw you coming, he stood up and raised a hand, and looked at you with an eye in the palm of his hand. 】

[The first time you saw the form of the 'Examiner of the Knowledge-seeking Polysighted Association', the eyes made your hair stand on end. You just felt dizzy, and a stream of disordered knowledge was poured into your soul. 】

[You have gained knowledge, and your knowledge has increased by 450! Current amount of knowledge: 1450/2700]

[The ‘knowledge-seeking examiner of the Polyvision Association’ loudly asks you why you want to break into the sacred examination room without permission. 】

[You take out the 'Scholar Assessment Qualification Certificate' and indicate that you are here to take the assessment of registered scholars. 】

[It nodded and began to tell you about the assessment process...]

[The first item of the assessment is to obtain knowledge from books. The more knowledge you can obtain from books, the higher your score will be. 】

[The ‘knowledge-seeking polyvision association examiner’ took out a book and handed it to you…]

[You have obtained a ‘book containing some knowledge’*1]

There are 8 more books like this in Lin Xun's inventory. Using a native body without special eyeballs, you can gain 10 points of knowledge by reading the books.

And if you use the earth giant with the "eyeball of the ancient wise man's pale dragon" to read books, you can gain 50 points of knowledge, which is equivalent to a five-fold increase.

However, he cannot yet change into the body of an earth giant, as he is worried that the examiner will point his nose at him and call him a vulgar warrior, and he will be kicked out of the examination room.

After transplanting two kinds of eyeballs, the Bishop in Yellow also has the ability to increase knowledge, and the effect of reading books in the Bishop's body is not bad.

[You open a ‘book containing some knowledge’, read the contents of the book, and absorb the knowledge...]

[You have gained knowledge, and your knowledge has increased by 45! Current amount of knowledge: 1495/2700]

[The 'Examiner of the Knowledge-Seeking Association' looks at you and nods with satisfaction, gives you an excellent evaluation, and then returns to your seat. 】

[The second examiner gets up and comes forward. It tells you that the second test is to comprehend the knowledge and skills from the scroll it gave. 】

[The more advanced skills you have learned, the higher your results will be. 】

[As it spoke, it took out a scroll with recorded characters and handed it to you...]

[You have obtained a ‘scroll recording knowledge and skills’ (prop)]

Lin Xun opened the inventory.

['Scroll recording knowledge and skills' (prop), a piece of yellowed parchment, engraved with inexplicable characters, shining with pure white light. Using this prop, you will understand the powerful protection skill called 'Knowledge Grating'! 】

Lin Xun's eyes widened.

Knowledge Grating!

He had long been extremely jealous of this powerful defensive skill, but he never expected that this skill could be obtained in the scholar assessment.
