Chapter 2: Stone Carvings (Part 2)

  Waldorf Astoria Hotel

  According to Yale, "I just found out that Lao San is actually a master of stone carving. We should celebrate properly. Let's go to the Huade Hotel." And so, the four of them entered the Huade Hotel. As soon as they stepped into the hotel, many students on the first floor turned their heads to look over.

  Almost all of the students' eyes were focused on Lin Lei.

  Dixie, Lin Lei!

  The two most dazzling geniuses of Ernst Academy, wherever they go, are the focus. Many students in the distance couldn't help but talk about it in a low voice.

  The four brothers sat down, and the dishes had just been served.

  "Squeak~~~~" The always sleeping 'Bei Bei' poked out her little head from Lin Lei's outer garment, with a pair of quick and clever eyes staring at the shiny roasted chicken on the dinner table. Lei immediately grabbed the roasted chicken and handed it to Xiao Ying: "Bei Bei, come."

  "Lin Lei, I've gone to eat." Beibei immediately sent a soul message to Lin Lei.

  Lin Lei hadn't even had time to respond when Beibei suddenly appeared on the dinner table, grabbed the roasted chicken and started devouring it. In less than ten seconds, the entire roasted chicken was eaten clean by a small mouse that was even smaller than the chicken itself.

  "Lao San, every time I see Beibei eating at this speed, my heart almost skips a beat." Yale said with a smile.

  Bai Bai finished eating and turned her head to look at Lin Lei. Lin Lei couldn't help but frown when she saw the greasy paws of Bai Bai.

  "Squeak squeak~~~"

  Babe deliberately called out to Lin Lei a few times, then narrowed her small eyes with a self-satisfied expression. At the same time, black light burst forth from her entire body, and dark energy involuntarily emanated from her. In an instant, the black light vanished without a trace. And Babe's paws, which were originally oily, as well as her mouth, were now spotlessly clean.

  Baby looked up at Lin Lei with a smug face and said "squeak squeak", while her soul transmitted the message: "Lin Lei, isn't it clean now?"

  Lin Lei couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  Brush. Beibei's body moved and slipped into Lin Lei's clothes.

  The four brothers then chatted and ate casually.

  "By the way, Old Three, if you want to send your stone carving works to the Prucks Museum, there are a few things to note." Yale reminded Lin Lei.

  "Oh, what needs attention?" Lin Lei asked further.

  As for the rules of Prokks Hall collecting works, Lin Lei was completely ignorant.

  Yale Smiled and said: "Generally, the lower left corner of stone carving works must be reserved for engraving names or pseudonyms, which represents your work. This is the first point. The second point is that when sending stone carvings to the Prucks Museum warehouse, they must be sealed to prevent damage during transportation. Sealed stone carvings will be checked by someone in the warehouse upon arrival to ensure they are intact, and detailed records of your identity information will be kept. Generally within three days, your work will appear in the ordinary exhibition hall of the Prucks Museum."

  Lin Lei nodded slightly.

  Carving serial numbers and names on stone sculptures is to prevent others from impersonating.

  Sealed and protected, Lin Lei also understood: "Some stone carvings are carved very carefully and delicately. During transportation, collisions may cause damage to the stone carvings. Sealing them up and stuffing some paper or cloth inside for protection makes it much safer."

  "What's going on with the Prudential Building being priced for sale?" Lin Lei asked.

  The stone statue was delivered to the Prucks' mansion, and Lin Lei's goal was to make money and improve his family's economic situation.

  Yale said with a smile: "The stone carving will be placed in the middle of the exhibition hall, and the buyer can set the price. A month later, the person who sets the highest price will get the stone carving, and you will also receive payment. Of course, if the transaction is successful, the Proxus Pavilion will charge a handling fee of 1%, with a maximum of 10 gold coins. If your work is priced above 1,000 gold coins, even if it's higher, the handling fee will still be 10 gold coins."

  Lin Lei was crystal clear in his mind.

  "Old Three, you can rest assured that I will arrange for someone to take care of things in Fenley City and make sure everything is done to your satisfaction." Yale said with a smile as he put his arm around Lin Lei's shoulder. "If the stone carvings made by our dormitory's Old Three are sold well at the Prucks Exhibition Hall, I'll also gain some face."

  George, who was standing aside, couldn't help but praise Lin Lei: "Old Three, you're now a fifth-grader and will become a master stone carver in the future. Your prospects are limitless, much better than ours."

  "Master stone carver? Stop flattering me." Lin Lei said with a self-deprecating smile.

  Four brothers ate and drank while chatting and talking about everything under the sun.

  "The days at Ernst Academy were indeed comfortable." Yale put down his wine glass and suddenly sighed, "I remember when I was a kid at home, the training at home was much more bitter than this."

  "Reno also shook his head and said, 'We are all students of Ernst Academy. My grandfather Lum told me that the world is in chaos now, with constant killings and fighting outside. But behind Ernst Academy is the Church of Light, so no one dares to mess with us, and we can live in peace. When we go out for trials later, you'll know how cruel the world is.'"

  "That's right."

  Lin Lei nodded and sighed, "I'm in fifth grade now, many of my classmates have gone out for training, according to what they've told me, some students lost their lives in external battles, many were disabled or seriously injured. Without experiencing real life-and-death battles, it's hard for us to grow up."

  "We're like pets raised by the nobles, living in comfort, but how can we compare to the ferocity of wild beasts outside?" George also sighed and said, "I really envy those high-ranking students who engage in bloody battles of life and death outside. Those thrilling days must be very exciting."

  Yale, George, Reno, Lin Lei were also fifteen or sixteen years old, and they all had a yearning in their hearts for exciting days outside.

  It's just that Yale and a few others are too weak, and if they go out to wander between life and death, the mortality rate will be very high.

  "Lin Lei, you're already in fifth grade, right?" Leno said suddenly.

  Yale and George also looked at Lin Lei, and the three of them had sparkling eyes.

  Lin Lei took a deep breath, nodded and said: "Yes, I am a fifth-level magician, which is considered an advanced magician. In June, I plan to go to the Magic Beast Mountains for two months of training and return in August." Lin Lei had already made plans in his heart.

  "Monster Mountain Range?"

  Yale, George and Reno all took a deep breath in unison.

  The Demon Beast Mountain Range, the first mountain range in the entire Yulan Continent, is indeed a place where many senior students go for their second or third trial. Most students choose ordinary tasks for their first trial.

  For example, escorting goods with relatively low risk.

  "Lin Lei, you're going to the Magic Beast Mountain Range for your first trial?" Leno asked in pursuit, and Yeru and George also showed some concern.

  "Don't worry, I'm confident."

  Lin Lei was still relatively confident in his heart, with the strength of a 5th-level magician and a 4th-level warrior. The speed of a 4th-level warrior was very fast, and once combined with the wind system magic 'Extreme Speed', Lin Lei's current strength could make his speed reach the level of a 6th-level warrior.

  The most important thing is ——

  Lin Lei can cast advanced wind magic 'Floating Technique'.
