The Abandoned Son of the Lin Family

   "Okay, this is the end of the first class, you can come back tomorrow." Zhang Yu raised his airs and put on a cool look, so as not to keep Wu Chen pestered.

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

   "The system has detected that there are less than ten students in the Sky Academy, and the task is now issued."

  [Main task 4: Expand the number of students, so that the number of students in the Sky Academy will reach ten people]

  [A great college should have a corresponding scale. How can a mere three students satisfy the sky academy that is about to rise? The host must recruit more students and expand the influence of the academy. The greater the influence of the academy, the greater the influence of the dean will also increase]

 [Task Reward: Sky Contract]

  [Task time limit: 72 hours]

 [Mission failure: no penalty]

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

The system explained a sentence in a rare way: "The contract of the sky is a special registration form. All students who sign the contract will be loyal to the Sky Academy for life. I will remain loyal to the students of Cangqiong."

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

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

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

  Looking at Zhang Yu whose expression was changing, Wu Chen felt a little apprehensive, and asked cautiously, "Dean, then, shall we go?"

Zhang Yu came back to his senses, glanced at Wu Chen, his eyes suddenly lit up, he rolled his eyes, and a gentle smile appeared on his face: "Wu Chen, Wu Clan Leader! Do you feel that the students of our college Too little?"

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

"Okay, I'll tell you the truth. Cangqiong Academy needs more students, but as the dean, it's not convenient for me to show up in person, so... I have to trouble you." Zhang Yu looked at Wu Chen with a smile, "You are The head of the Wu family knows more people than me and has greater influence than me, so just a few words should be able to recruit a lot of students for Sky Academy."

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

   To him, Firmament Academy is a huge cake, and naturally he doesn't want others to share it.

 But he also knew that he couldn't stop this kind of thing. Even if he refused, Zhang Yu could still recruit students through other channels.

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

  Through countless thoughts, Wu Chen finally nodded heavily: "Since the dean trusts me, then leave this matter to me!"

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

Eggs can't be put in one basket. Zhang Yu can't put all his hopes in Wu Chen. The system requires three days, so he asks for two and reserves one day. Even if this old boy is causing trouble behind his back, he at least still has room for maneuver. room.

 …

  In the afternoon, Zhang Yu left Wu Mo alone to teach him the art of alchemy.

  Wu Mo has never been in contact with alchemy, so it was a bit unbelievable when Zhang Yu said that he had the talent for alchemy for the first time: "I have the talent for alchemy?"

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

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

Seeing the excited look on Wu Mo's face, Zhang Yu couldn't help but sigh secretly: "After all, Huangcheng is still too small and remote. If Wu Mo was born in the Zhou Dynasty's imperial capital 'Xiandan City', I'm afraid he would have such an alchemy talent. It was discovered." The deserted city was only a borderland of the Zhou Dynasty, and there were few strong men, let alone alchemists as rare as giant pandas.

 After coming back to his senses, Zhang Yu explained the basic knowledge of alchemy to Wu Mo, and then started to make the alchemy while Wu Mo watched.

"The system has detected that the host is teaching alchemy, and the task is now released."

 [Main mission five: Cultivate a one-star alchemist]

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

 [Task reward: Two-star alchemy]

 [Task time limit: one month]

 [Mission failure: no penalty]

Zhang Yu heard the sound of the system, but he was not distracted. When making alchemy, you must concentrate.

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

 Alchemists, even the lowest one-star alchemists, still have a transcendent status!

 …

The Lin family is one of the second-rate families in Huangcheng. Although it is not as good as the five top forces of the Wu Family, the City Lord's Mansion, the Golden Eagle Sect, Morning Light College, and Yunshan College, it can still not be underestimated. The head of the Lin family is an eighth-level powerhouse. Moreover, he was on good terms with Wu Chen, the head of the Wu family, so that top powers such as the City Lord's Mansion and Chenguang Academy would not easily offend 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 boy of about sixteen years old was sitting on the shore of the lake fishing, with a hint of self-mockery in the corner of his green mouth.

"In one month, I will be sixteen." The young man raised his head and looked up at the sky, with deep melancholy and unwillingness in his eyes. "When I turn sixteen, I will be sent to East Street. , be a...shopkeeper!"

The young man clenched his fists hard, and his fingers were slightly blue due to the excessive exertion: "Shopkeeper! Haha... I'm really unwilling!"

For ordinary people, being able to get a shopkeeper position in this life is worthy of a big celebration, but for a young man, how can he be willing to be a small shopkeeper after seeing the magnificent sky?

 The word shopkeeper... is a great irony for anyone in the Lin family.

The Lin family has been operating in Huangcheng for hundreds of years. It has spread out, has a prosperous population, and has an extremely rich foundation. However, within the Lin family, only those who are extremely talented and have been completely abandoned by the family will be sent to be shopkeepers.

  It can be said that every shopkeeper of the Lin family shop is a marginalized person far away from the core of the Lin family.

 The young man is not the first person to be sent to be a shopkeeper, nor will he be the last.

"One month, I can still enjoy the last month of leisure." The young man was silent for a long time, and then sighed longly, but there was a melancholy on his young face that should not be seen at this age.

At this moment, a mocking voice came from behind the young man: "What, our shopkeeper Lin Ming is thinking about life again?"

Lin Ming did not look back. Just by hearing this familiar voice, he knew who it was.

 "If you have something to say, hurry up and let it go." Lin Ming held the fishing rod in his hand and said calmly.

"What are you pulling on? A loser who has practiced for four years and has never reached the first level of the Qixuan Realm. What qualifications does he have to show off in front of me?" Lin Sen snorted coldly, and then sneered again, "Oh, I was wrong, Lin Ming. The shopkeeper is the future shopkeeper, I should find a way to please you now, maybe you can give me a discount when I go to the store to buy something in the future."

Lin Ming dropped the fishing rod, stood up, looked directly at Lin Sen, and said calmly: "Since you have said that I am a waste, wouldn't it be interesting to show off your superiority over a waste?" He had already heard similar sarcasm. Countless times, it was almost impossible to stir up waves in his heart.

Sensing Lin Ming's dull reaction, Lin Sen also lost interest and curled his lips and said, "Okay, I'm too lazy to tell you more. The clan leader asked you to go to the council hall immediately."

"The parliament hall?" Lin Ming frowned, with a trace of doubt in his eyes, "Isn't there still a month left? Why are you letting me go there now?"

Lin Sen shrugged: "How do I know? Maybe I can let you experience what it's like to be a shopkeeper in advance!"

Ears automatically filtered Lin Sen's irritating words. Lin Ming walked straight towards the parliament hall while thinking.

 …

 When Lin Ming arrived at the council hall, it was empty except for the clan leader.

The eldest son of the Lin family is named Lin Zhan. He looks like a gray-haired old man. According to his seniority, Lin Ming should call him Second Grandpa, because Lin Ming's grandfather is the eldest brother of the clan leader.

"You're here." Lin Zhan turned around and looked at Lin Ming. A trace of regret flashed in his eyes. The Lin family was prosperous, but among so many people, it was almost impossible to find another descendant with such magnanimity. Question: In terms of character alone, there are probably not many people in the entire Lin family who can compare to Lin Ming. It's a pity...his talent is too poor.

Lin Ming allowed Lin Zhan to look him over, and saluted with neither humility nor arrogance: "Clan leader."

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

 "Resentment?" Lin Ming looked at Lin Zhan doubtfully.

"I didn't give you a chance to continue practicing, so I sent you to East Street to be a shopkeeper." Lin Zhan spoke bluntly and raised a sensitive topic.

"I can't speak of resentment, I'm just a little unwilling." Lin Ming shook his head.

 "What do you mean by this?"

"I am self-aware of my talent. Even if I continue to practice, I will just waste my time. Maybe I will get lucky occasionally, but I still have to face reality after all." Although Lin Ming is young, his wisdom is extraordinary. , "Instead of waiting until I hit the south wall to regret it, it's better to find another way now. Although the patriarch stopped my cultivation path, he also arranged another path for me. At least, I don't have to worry about not having enough food and clothing in the future. Not enough to eat, life is rich enough."

Even the abandoned son of the Lin family is much better than ordinary people. On the contrary, if it were not for the Lin family, I might not even be as good as a beggar on the street. So, what right do I have to be resentful?

At the end of his words, Lin Ming said with a touch of self-mockery: "Besides... the Lin family's huge family business always needs someone to take care of it, right?"

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

Hearing this, Lin Ming suddenly raised his head. His calm emotions were like a huge stone smashed into a pool of water, boiling instantly.

"I won't hide it from you now. This afternoon, the head of the Wu family found me..." Lin Zhan said slowly: "You must know what is going on at Cangqiong College. You chose to go to Cangqiong College to be a student. Accept the unknown fate, or wait a month and become the shopkeeper honestly, it's your choice."
