Chapter 379: Free Food At The Logistics Department

Even Xiao Lin was shocked by his revision speed. When he tried to test it out, he was even more shocked to notice that he really did remember everything in the notebooks. A memory like that was absolutely astounding.

Xiao Lin thought about it, thinking about his Academic Genius skill. Ever since it was raised to LV2, he had gotten a lot of hidden benefits from it. That sort of studying ability might not mean much for now, but it was definitely useful for the long term.

“By the way, how do you have so many notes? I remember we only have three courses.” Recalling the contents he memorized, Xiao Lin noticed Gu Xiaoyue’s notes were a little excessive.

“Some of them are just my thoughts after reading some books from the library,” Gu Xiaoyue said calmly.

“You’re the true academic genius!” Xiao Lins lips twitched. She was obviously unsatisfied with what the lecturers taught in class. He believed that Gu Xiaoyue was the only one who did that in the entire year.

It was already very late. Even if Xiao Lin had the freedom to move around the dormitory as he chose, he could not help but face an awkward question. The dormitory’s buffet dinner had already ended, and Dawn Academy did not have anywhere to buy some snacks from. Even if Gu Xiaoyue did not seem to mind starving for a night, Xiao Lin could not bear to let her do so, especially if the cause was himself.

“Let’s go to the Logistics Department!” Xiao Lin decided with a wave of his hand.

“Logistics Department?” Gu Xiaoyue blinked in confusion.

“It’s Department Head Song Junlang’s place. He has quite a bit of food there,” Xiao Lin introduced enthusiastically. Of course, he made the decision to be sure that Gu Xiaoyue would not eat any foods of dubious origins.

Song Junlang was quite isolated from the rest of the academy, so it was natural that Gu Xiaoyue did not know him, but she definitely heard of the man before, so she nodded in agreement.

As they walked to the Logistics Department, Song Junlang was fortunately there. Song Junlang was up to his usual antics, feeding his hybrid animals when they arrived. He was not surprised at Xiao Lin’s appearance, mentioning that he had already received news of Xiao Lin’s return yesterday, but he was surprised that Xiao Lin brought a girl over.

“Gu Xiaoyue? The youngest magic prodigy?” Song Junlang naturally had long since heard of the girl who had the highest ever base intelligence score. He measured her with his gaze.

Even the normally cold Gu Xiaoyue could not help but blush at Song Junlang’s praise, lowering her head as she said, “No, I’m still far from that!”

“Far? No, trust me, your future accomplishments will be immeasurable!” Song Junlang’s face was serious, but after that, he used an alluring term to say, “To tell you the truth, I have a lot of things that can help you raise your intelligence faster. How does that sound? Would you like to become a magical goddess? If you become my guinea pig, ah no, I meant as long as you become my partner, I’ll make sure you’re successful!”

Xiao Lin rubbed his head, letting out an exasperated sigh. Song Junlang was still up to his old tricks, actually trying to use his experiments on Gu Xiaoyue. That was not right, so he hurriedly tried to advise Gu Xiaoyue, but Xiao Lin saw a hint of sadness on her face.

“There’s no need. I don’t have a future.” The sadness disappeared as Gu Xiaoyue’s face turned back to normal. The girl always had a strong facade around outsiders, but Xiao Lin slowly understood that she might just be trying to protect her fragile heart. The girl did not have much time left, so discussing the future with her was an extremely cruel thing. Even if Gu Xiaoyue had the talent, if nothing changed, she would not be able to live that long.

“Department Head Song, do you have any normal food around here? We revised too late into the night and missed dinner.” Xiao Lin quickly avoided the awkward topic.

“Revision? That’s right, your tests are approaching. Speaking of which, are you sure you’re alright?” Song Junlang said as he motioned for them to sit down. He said he would cook them something as a welcoming dinner for Xiao Lin.

Xiao Lin could not relax and followed him over. He understood Song Junlang’s habits, so was worried that Song Junlang would slip some sort of new hybrid inside.

“I’ve more or less read through everything I need to.”

“Are you sure you’re not just consoling yourself?” Song Junlang did not mind Xiao Lin following him, and he lowered his voice. “I actually have a way for you to quickly improve your memory. Would you like to try?”

“Hold it! Whatever method it is, I won’t try it!” Xiao Lin said, alert. The man really wanted to trick him again.

“Your position as the class monitor might be threatened if you don’t pass and end up being held back,” Song Junlang advised unhappily.

“I thought your hybrids only work on those that are lower than Black Iron-rank, I’m already at that. Would it really work on me now?”

“You’re underestimating me. My techniques are constantly changing. Even with your current rank, I have ways to increase your attributes!”

“Let’s forget it...”

That sort of conversation was quite normal between the two of them. Song Junlang quickly noticed that Xiao Lin seemed to have a heavy heart, so he smiled and asked, “What’s wrong? Are you still thinking about the New World?”

Xiao Lin shook his head. He had thought things through. Even though he was still concerned about the dean and Asabanor, the current him could not impact anything in the New World. He was still not at a high enough level. If he tried to right now, he would just trap himself.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Lin asked with hesitation, “Department Head Song, have you ever drank the school’s Lifewater?”

“Of course, as long as you’re from Dawn Academy, no one would dare say they’ve never died. Even the dean would not be alive now if not for Lifewater.”

Xiao Lin looked around, making sure Gu Xiaoyue was not in the vicinity, but he still whispered with worry, “Then is the effect of Lifewater absolute?”

Song Junlang furrowed his eyebrows, asking in confusion, “What do you mean?”

“What I meant is, are they any special circumstances that would lead to your lifespan not increasing after drinking Lifewater.”

Song Junlang paused. Seeing Xiao Lin’s serious expression, he turned serious as well, “So long as you drink Lifewater in the boundaries where it would be in effect, I’m very sure that kind of thing’s not possible!”
