Chapter 54: The Beautiful Shadow in the Ancient Tomb (Part 2)

  Wen Ren Huiyin was wearing a moon-white magic robe, holding a short blue wand in her hand. At this moment, she was standing on a slightly raised black rock, and the magical energy in the air naturally gathered into a pale blue airflow, swirling around her body, giving people a sense of lightness and elegance.

  In the game, Wen Ren Huiyin does not use her real-life appearance. Although she has a outstanding temperament, her looks can only be considered average to slightly above average.

  "Is that Wen Ren Hui Yin?" Zhou Jian had contacted Wen Ren Hui Yin a few times through the in-game messaging system, but he had never seen her in-game appearance before, so he needed to confirm.

  "Long time no see."

  "Why don't you go back to your original appearance?" The greatest charm of "Shenmo" for girls lies in the ability to modify their appearance and figure, many female players will make themselves look more beautiful, it's rare to see someone like Wen Ren Huiyin who does the opposite.

  "I don't like it." Wen Ren Hui said with a playful smile, "It will cause a lot of trouble."

  Wen Ren Huiyin was very low-key when she read high school, Blue Ocean First High School as the best high school in Blue Ocean City, naturally there are not many rich children, many rich children are keen on showing off their wealth, rich young masters wear famous brands and wear famous watches, usually drive luxury cars to school, rich girls compare cosmetics, compare perfumes and handbags.

  But Wenren Huiyin, who was born into a wealthy family, was just like an ordinary child. She usually dressed neatly and simply, didn't use makeup, only applied moisturizer in the dry winter, and chose to board at school. Like most boarding students, she got up early every day for morning exercises, went to the cafeteria for meals... The food at Lanhai No. 1 High School's cafeteria wasn't unbearable, but it was far from delicious...

  Zhou Jian originally thought that Wen Ren Huiyin didn't have to be like this, and it was only natural for someone with money to enjoy themselves a bit. Later, he came to realize that this was the tradition of the Wen family, and not only did Wen Ren Huiyin do so, but also her cousins and siblings.

  The Wen family is an ancient family that has extremely high expectations for their children. The younger generation of the Wen family must start from the bottom when they enter the family business, and their positions are determined by their work performance. Only those who perform well can enter the board of directors. The Wen family requires their children to not be arrogant or domineering, not to bully others with their power, not to be reckless and irresponsible, and not to have extramarital affairs. Once any of these situations are proven to exist, they will immediately be stripped of their shares.

  There is an old Chinese saying that "wealth does not last beyond three generations", but the Wen family has defied this adage with their strict and severe family constitution, maintaining a glorious history of 150 years. Family members have not only dominated the business world, but also expanded into politics and the military, with the family's fortunes rising day by day.

  Sometimes the more powerful forces are low-key, while those with only a little power and money like to show off, otherwise how would others know they're awesome?

  For the ancient Wen family, Zhou Jian had always held a psychology of admiration, they had their own family cultural heritage, and had a tradition of being frugal to cultivate virtue. However, he also had to admit that being born into such a family did not necessarily mean happiness.

  In China, the rich second generation and official second generation present two extremes. Either they are like Sun Yanzu and Gao Fu Shuai, indulging in food, drink, and pleasure, flying high and arrogant, ultimately achieving nothing; or they are like the children of the Wen family, whose minds are more mature than their peers because they have lived in a world of intrigue and struggle from a young age, where one misstep could lead to ruin.

  Wen Ren Huiyin's profession in the game is quite special, a water-based pastor. Generally, attack-type mages have three types: ice, fire, and lightning, while pastors are mostly holy light system. The choice of magic type to cultivate is determined by the system, and players cannot choose freely.

  As a pastor, Wen Ren Huiyin's attack magic is not much, so most of the time, she will team up to level up.

  For example, today in Gu Mu Jiu, apart from Wen Ren Hui Yin, there were also her paternal cousin and maternal aunt.

  "Let me introduce you, this is my cousin Qian Shui Wu Hen, and my brother Chang He Luo Ri." Wen Ren Hui Yin pointed to the man and woman behind her. Qian Shui Wu Hen was a 34th-level mage, Chang He Luo Ri was a 35th-level warrior, both of them had extraordinary bearing, and at first glance, they were exceptional people.

  "This is my high school classmate, Zhou Jian." Wen Ren Huiyan pointed at Zhou Jian again and introduced him to her older brother and sister-in-law, as if deliberately trying to create a stark contrast between the two. Not only was Zhou Jian of a lower level, but he was also dressed in trashy equipment, with his only quasi-divine artifact necklace hidden under his clothes.

  Zhou Jian's combat power is limited. Although the pendant on his neck is inlaid with an indestructible stone, others don't know that, and seeing a quasi-divine artifact might prompt them to attack without hesitation.

  Changhe Luday and Qianshui Wuheng both had good temperaments, and did not use probing techniques to examine Zhou Jian's equipment. They also didn't reveal any contemptuous expressions, but simply nodded in greeting.

  "Brother, I'm bringing a friend to upgrade, is it okay?" Wen Huiyun said to her older brother.

  This made Zhou Jian feel a headache, if he had known that his cousin and sister-in-law were here, he would not have come no matter what. His combat power was almost negligible in the ancient tomb of nine, and would only slow down their leveling speed. Wen Ren Huiyun was fine, after all, she was his friend, but her cousin and brother-in-law he didn't know at all.

  However, Changhe didn't show any unpleasant expression, but looked at Zhou Jian for a while and said: "I'll take you to 11:30, I have an engagement at noon and need to rush over."

  "En, thank you, brother." Wen Ren Huiyin's voice was very sweet.

  Next is the usual upgrade process, with Changhe Luori summoning monsters, Qianshui Wuhen and her pet launching large-scale magic attacks, and Wenren Huiyin responsible for healing and adding various statuses. Although Wenren Huiyin's role is only to add blood, but her pet's combat power cannot be underestimated.

  In "Shén Mó", apart from the Master, each profession can carry a pet. Pets can be upgraded, learn skills, and match equipment, in short, it's very cool. However, cultivating a pet requires a lot of effort and money, poor players usually just casually pull one to fill the number.

  Zhou Jian stood there like a wooden stake, this guy still hasn't gotten a pet, at the beginning he would symbolically throw a few bottles of explosive gas, but seeing that the monster only changed color and didn't lose much blood, Zhou Jian also got lazy and simply enjoyed the view.

  The scenery of the ancient tomb No. 9 is still pretty good, this was originally a deep abyss with thousands of meters, hundreds of huge rocks floating above the abyss, players and monsters standing on the rocks, the rocks are connected by thick chains, which can be passed through, those chains are thicker than human waist, with solidified rust spots on top, that's the blood left behind day after day.

  The depth of the abyss below is unknown, and some fearless players have jumped down before. As a result, they lost consciousness after falling for more than ten seconds and then went to the respawn point. According to those who jumped down, the deeper you go into the abyss, the colder it gets. The rock walls are all frozen with black ice, and in the end, the cold wind directly froze him unconscious.

  At this time, Zhou Jian was standing in the middle of a floating rock, still some distance away from the cliff, so he couldn't see the whole view of the cliff. At this moment, Wen Ren Huiyun asked: "How is Lingnan University? What's the level of the professors?"

  Wen Ren Huiyin was only in charge of adding blood, so she had more free time and chatted with Zhou Jian about the weather.

  Uh…… Zhou Jian was speechless for a moment, and he couldn't tell Wen Ren Hui that he had hardly attended any classes and didn't even know what the professor looked like. He vaguely said: "It's okay, I guess. I heard that your Hong Kong Chinese University has a Nobel laureate teaching?" Due to the great calamity of the last century, the Nobel Prize was interrupted for a long time, until this century it continued to be awarded. The mainland of China finally bloomed with iron trees and got two Nobel Prizes, one at Tsinghua and one at Peking University.

  However, the Chinese University of Hong Kong had Nobel laureates teaching as early as the 20th century, and this university has consistently ranked higher than Tsinghua and Peking universities internationally.

  "Haha, I've never attended their classes. I study economics and finance. Our major doesn't have any Nobel Prize winners. In fact, I've never even seen those legendary figures. Apart from attending classes, I'm usually at the Yifu Bookstore. I joined the bookstore's student union."

  "What majors does the Shaw College have?" The Lingnan University also has a Shaw Humanities Building, which seems to be donated by Mr. Run Run Shaw, a famous philanthropist on Hong Kong Island about 200 years ago.

  "No, the college and academy are two different things. Only a few departments require students to be affiliated with a particular college, while others can choose their college preferences when they enroll, which has nothing to do with their major. I chose Yifu College, where I live in the dormitory building exclusive to the college, participate in club activities within the college, but academic studies are not managed by the college."

  "Is there still such a university system?"

  "Yes, Cambridge, Oxford, Harvard, Yale and many other world-renowned universities are like this. However, Cambridge and Oxford are more independent, with one of their colleges being almost indistinguishable from an independent university."

  Zhou Jian had never heard of this before. Universities in mainland China adopted the college system, where students were assigned to a college based on their major, and dormitories were also allocated by the school, not necessarily with students from the same college living in the same building. Hong Kong was a British concession before the 20th century, so it adopted the collegiate system commonly used in Western countries for university education.

  "Huiyin, add blood, your brother is going to die." Qianshui Wuhen glared at her sister with a bad temper, she didn't like Zhou Jian very much, feeling that this guy was just a freeloader and had ulterior motives towards her own sister, but because of her good upbringing, she didn't show it, otherwise this glare would have been given to Zhou Jian.

  "Ah, sorry......" Wen Ren Huiyin stuck out her tongue and hastily applied a water-based healing technique to Chang He Luorijing.

  Zhou Jian was uncomfortable, to be honest, he didn't want to stay here at all. Although the leveling speed was very fast, it made people feel uneasy all over.

  Just then, a familiar voice suddenly rang out: "Wen Ren classmate, didn't expect to run into you again here, what a coincidence."

  Zhou Jian looked up and saw a handsome young man, about 1.85 meters tall, walking towards him with two younger boys. Wait... wasn't the leader his high school classmate, Gao Fushuai? Was he also playing "Shenmo"?
