Chapter 272 is him
"Why haven't you replied yet?"
"Could it be that there isn't one?"
Zheng Huangtong looked at the chat box in front of her, somewhat disappointed.
The curse afflicting the team's Shieldbearer is not an ordinary curse, but an ancient mechanical curse; a small part of his body has already been transformed into machinery, and ordinary purification methods have been ineffective.
"If that doesn't work, I'm afraid I'll have to go to the 'Pure Land' in the west," Zheng Huangtong thought to herself.
No matter what, she couldn't bear to watch her companion turn into a lump of iron that reeked of rust.
I waited for quite a while.
Just as she was about to give up and get up.
The guy with the ID "源神" finally sent a message.
[Source God]: I can help you remove the curse, on the condition that you provide five mechanical energy cores that you have shown.
Zheng Huangtong suddenly stood up from the hot spring, her short silver hair cascading down her back, and warm, glistening droplets of water slid down her fair and delicate body.
[I'm not guilty of shooting you]: Materials aren't the problem. She's infected with an extremely rare and ancient mechanical curse. Even using high-level purification scrolls from the Vatican, I couldn't eradicate it. Can you really remove it...?
[Source God]: Believe it or not.
【I am innocent of shooting you】: I don't disbelieve, I'm just too surprised. I'm willing to try even if there's only a sliver of hope. I'm in the capital now, can we meet in person?
[Source God]: What a coincidence, I'm also in the capital.
【I am innocent of shooting you】：Σ(꒪ȏ꒪)
【I am innocent of shooting you】: Can we meet then?
……
We arranged to meet in person at Times Square in Beijing a few days later to discuss the transaction.
Jiang Yuan also purchased some high-end rare metal materials and energy components online.
After doing all this.
He walked into the living room, and an exceptionally rich fragrance wafted towards him.
"What are you doing?"
Guan Xiaoxiao, dressed as a maid, turned her head from the blazing kitchen, a cube-shaped crystal behind her shooting laser flames at the pot, and she was carrying a large bottle of red wine in one hand.
"Roasted Demon Beef," the maid replied.
"Remember to add some chili."
"Um."
soon.
A large plate of grilled beef, sprinkled with bright red ghost peppers and sizzling with tiny flames, was served.
Not only this dish, but every other dish was sprinkled with plenty of ghost peppers.
The mechanical maid stood to the side, her expression calm, and said, "Please use it."
Jiang Yuan's eyes twitched at the sight.
You can add a little chili, but you don't need to add this much, do you?
It was intentional, it must have been intentional.
Jiang Yuan picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.
It's really spicy...
Mechanical maid: "Is it delicious?"
Jiang Yuan: "...Not bad."
"That's good." The maid remained calm and expressionless, but Jiang Yuan could feel her soul smiling.
Relying on his indestructible divine body, Jiang Yuan indulged in the extremely spicy food on the table in front of him. "The cooking is very good, but it's a pity that these are all third and fourth-grade ingredients. The flavor is lacking. Why didn't you buy better ones?"
"Because I'm broke," Guan Xiaoxiao said.
Jiang Yuan was taken aback upon hearing this.
That was something he overlooked.
The academy subsidies and such should have all gone to his parents. Guan Xiaoxiao is also not allowed to go into secret realms and dungeons to kill monsters alone, so it's no wonder she doesn't have money.
He then opened his system panel and performed a series of operations.
Guan Xiaoxiao heard a ding-dong sound in her ear.
[Your account has received 35487 merit points. 35487 points remaining.]
Guan Xiaoxiao was taken aback.
Jiang Yuan laughed and said, "In the academy, merit points should be more useful than cash, right?"
Guan Xiaoxiao nodded, "That's true."
Merit points can be used to redeem almost anything at the academy.
"Take these and use them for now. Buy whatever you want."
Guan Xiaoxiao: "There's nothing I want to buy."
"Then we'll use it to supplement our household income."
Guan Xiaoxiao didn't speak again, and the energy lines on her ears flickered.
"To supplement the family income," Jiang Yuan's casual four words struck a chord deep within.
She said softly, "Okay."
Jiang Yuan picked up a large piece of chili-flavored beef and put it in his mouth, savoring the spiciness of the chili while saying:
"I need to go out for a bit."

After dinner.
Night fell.
Many students at Shenwu Academy are still practicing hard on the playground.
After training and showering, they hurried back to their dormitories, where both the boys' and girls' dormitories were brightly lit.
Some students formed teams to run dungeons under the cover of night, searching for traces of rare nocturnal beasts.
The hardcore players in the forging and pharmacy departments also work tirelessly, day and night.
of course.
Today, the most talked-about topic in the student dormitories is still that young professor.
Appearance, strength, unknown talents, mysterious profession and skills, superb martial arts, past, whether there is a lover, ambiguous relationship... all of these are worthy of gossip and discussion.
"Do you think Professor Jiang has a girlfriend?"
The first person to bring up this topic was a beautiful young woman who ranked 20th on the list of goddesses, second only to Zhao Xinran. She was standing in front of the mirror wearing super short shorts, striking a pose.
"Even if there isn't one, it certainly won't be your turn."
"That's not necessarily true."
"Yeah, she's got a pretty face, she's got beautiful legs, and more importantly, you... you're shameful."
"Jian Li, what do you mean?!"
"It's nothing, I just think that someone like Professor Jiang would never be interested in a slut like you who has dated more than ten times and is also cheating on several other women."
"Aaaaaah, I'm going to fight you to the death!"
"Go outside and fight. This is a rest area, not a battle room." A cool-faced beauty with short, neat hair, wearing a vest, walked in and stopped the two who were about to draw their swords.
"Professor Chen."
The other girls looked at the newcomer with awe.
Chen Yusheng's beautiful eyes swept over the crowd: "It's natural to feel admiration and respect after witnessing the magnificence of the mountains. I won't say anything, but don't forget that you are martial artists."
Where is Bai Leyan?
One of the girls said, "She just went out. She probably went to the life zone."
Chen Yusheng nodded and walked outside.
The glamorous girl in super short shorts crossed her arms and sneered, "Our Instructor Chen really cares about her. No wonder he's her personal disciple."
"Her talent and aptitude are truly remarkable."
"Hmph, in my opinion, she's just a little vixen pretending to be innocent. She usually acts all warm and approachable, pure and lovely in front of her fellow students, but in reality, she's distant from everyone. She's all smiles on the outside but cold on the inside, a seductive temptress. Didn't you see the way she looked at that young Professor Jiang today? Tsk tsk tsk... it's like one look from her could melt your bones. That's a real vixen."
"Hey, hey, shut up."
"She's not here, so what's wrong with me saying a few words? Anyway, I don't think she has much of a chance. Not to mention Senior Yan and Minister Ye, she can't even compare to Lin Qingyan or that Luo Xi among the freshmen."

The Life Sciences Area is an area adjacent to the Department of Life Sciences building, with extremely lush vegetation. Rather than an area, it is as large as a forest.
Each tree is hundreds of meters tall and exceptionally thick, with lush green vines spiraling upwards, exuding a rich vitality. At night, under the moonlight, they even emit tiny, sparkling lights.
The environment here is beautiful, making it an ideal place for dates. Occasionally, academic advisors will also find students here to play games.
A beautiful and innocent-looking young girl sat on a rock, her hands supporting her chin, lost in thought.
Bai Leyan was very distressed at the moment.
It seems she has fallen for someone.
The kind of love at first sight.
As a legendary astrologer, she possesses a unique eye technique that allows her to see the light emanating from others. Some people's light is white, some are red, but this is the first time she has ever seen a seven-colored light of destiny.
Noble, mysterious, majestic, and sacred.
It deeply attracted her.
It made her unable to forget it.
"How exactly do you fall in love...?"
So far, she has only ever been pursued by others, never pursued anyone, and has never been in a relationship. She really doesn't know where to start.
"Sigh..." The girl sighed in annoyance.
And at that very moment.
A figure emerged from the darkness not far away.
Bai Leyan heard footsteps and looked up.
Amidst the lush green grass and bright moonlight, and the twinkling life force, a dazzling, seven-colored astrological light shone deep within her clear pupils, causing her eyes to slowly widen.
The person walked past her, a gentle breeze ruffling her bangs. Bai Leyan was oblivious, frozen in place.
It's him.
