Chapter 137, Section 136: Daily Life.?

"Wang Ji, wake up!"

"Get up, the sun's already high in the sky!"

hiss--

In a daze, Wang Ji suddenly sat up in bed and looked at the person beside him who was calling his name.

He was a young man who looked very energetic, about sixteen or seventeen years old.

This face looks so familiar.

Wang Ji tried to recall the events carefully, but his mind went completely blank.

After a while, a line suddenly connected.

The memory became clearer.

Wang Ji asked, "You are... Lin Wan?"

"it's me."

Lin Wan smiled and said, "I think you're still half asleep. What did you do last night to be so tired? Did you secretly do something bad?"

Wang Ji retorted instinctively, "You're the one who did bad things!"

"Hahaha…"

Seeing that Wang Ji had regained consciousness, Lin Wan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Alright, bro, just kidding. I'm relieved to see you so energetic."

"It's getting late, let's hurry up and get ready, or we'll be late."

be late?

What exactly is going on?

Wang Ji shook his head, racking his brains.

Scenes flashed through my mind.

As memories returned, everything before my eyes became clear.

This is River Bend City, and I am... Wang Ji. I originally lived a poor life in a border village until the world changed drastically, the empire was destroyed, and the sages liberated the world.

Fortunately, he and his neighbor Lin Wanen were both quite talented. Through their own efforts, they both passed the entrance exam for the Alchemy University and traveled the long, hellish journey here to study.

Today's lecture appears to be given by Mr. Osvid, the former Imperial Archmage, current Community Advisor, and Honorary Professor of Alchemy University.

"not good!"

Wang Ji shouted.

"We can't miss this!"

"You're finally awake."

Seeing that Wang Ji had recovered, Lin Wan'en finally felt relieved. He said, "You have no idea, you were just shouting things like doomsday, world destruction, and creation. It was absolutely terrifying."

"I can tell you had a nightmare the moment I look at you."

Upon hearing these words, Wang Ji couldn't help but recall the past.

In the blur, fragments of memory flashed by, seemingly detailed yet distant.

In this memory, I seem to have been revered as some kind of creator-level powerhouse, searching for something in an endless world, and finally plunging headlong into a certain place.

I figured that even if something went wrong, I'd just die and the abnormal status would be cleared.

Then I woke up.

Recalling this unusually vivid dream, Wang Ji frowned deeply.

A profound sense of unease rose within me.

I feel like I've overlooked something.

After a moment, he shook his head.

"What a strange dream."

"I have quite a vivid imagination."

But that's how dreams are; they always pop up with things that even the dreamer can't understand.

After quickly getting dressed and tidying himself up, Wang Ji rushed out of the house and headed towards the Alchemy University with Lin Wa'en.

"Fortunately, I caught up."

Wang Ji breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the familiar school gate.

I grabbed a piece of bread and ate it.

"Still eating!"

Lin Wan looked at him with a questioning expression, as if asking, "How can you still be in the mood to eat?" and called out, "If there are no seats left, let's go!"

"Hey, don't pull me."

As Wang Ji was being pulled along, he hurriedly ate some bread and said, "I can't run without eating something."

Lin Wa'en said speechlessly, "Are you some kind of sickly little girl?"

Gudong.

As the bread went down his throat, something filled him up, and Wang Ji immediately felt a surge of energy within him, instantly invigorating him.

The strength is coming!

"I'll show you who the little girl is!"

After saying that, Wang Ji picked up Lin Wa'en and rushed towards the school auditorium.

"I was wrong, brother. Put me down, I can run by myself!"

Linwaen wailed.

"Ouch!"

The next moment, Lin Wa'en flew out, his face heading straight for the ground, about to be hit by a face-first brake.

Suddenly, he floated up into the air, instead of landing face down as expected.

"It's good that young people are energetic, but they still need to be mindful of the path ahead." A deep, mature voice came from behind.

Lin Wa'en turned around and saw Wang Ji getting up from the ground. It was clear that Wang Ji had bumped into someone while leading him.

Who did you bump into?

Lin Waen looked up and saw a tall figure wearing a robe.

"Big...big..."

Lin Wan started to stutter.

The old man smiled at Lin Wa'en, gently helped him up, and made sure his feet were firmly on the ground.

"Grand Master!"

Lin Wain shouted out that title.

I never imagined I'd get so close to this legend who spanned two eras. It would have been worth dying here today!

Just as he was thinking, a voice suddenly interrupted his reverie.

Looking at the old man, Wang Ji subconsciously asked, "Oswald?"

His full name came out so naturally, he didn't seem like a stranger at all.

'It's been so long!'

Wang Ji thought to himself with emotion.

Wait, why is it "long time no see"?

Is this the first time I've ever met a Grand Master?
Across from him, Lin Wa'en kept giving Wang Ji meaningful glances.

How dare you address the Grand Master by his full name!

That was a Grand Mage; no emperor in the past had ever dared to address him by his name.

"Ok?"

Oswald turned around and looked at Wang Ji.

"It's me, child. What's wrong?"

"nothing."

Wang Ji shook his head and replied calmly, but something still felt off.

On the other side, Linwan, who had recovered, quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, esteemed Archmage, please forgive our offense."

Oswald chuckled and patted Linwan on the shoulder, saying, "It's nothing, I'm just old and used to walking slowly, which is why I'm blocking the way."

"It's good for young people to be lively, but they should still pay attention to where they're going, so they don't bump into an elderly person whose bones aren't as strong as mine next time, that would be bad."

"Also, you don't need to call me that. Things are different now than before. Times have changed, and there aren't so many rules about hierarchy anymore. If you'd like, just call me Professor."

Lin Wain immediately replied, "Yes, Professor!"

Those eyes were filled with adoration, practically sparkling with light.

Yes, things are different now. There are no empires or nobles; everyone is a cornerstone of the community.

But those who have greater abilities and make greater contributions will always be more respected.

Although the Grand Master is nominally an honorary professor, who would dare to treat him as just an ordinary professor?

Seeing Lin Wan's expression, Oswald smiled and said, "You're here to listen to my lecture, right?"

"Let's hurry up, or I'll be late too."

"Don't just stand there."

Oswald turned his head again to look at Wang Ji.

For some reason, looking at this boy, a name naturally came to mind.

"Wang Ji".

He called out, "Let's go, I have a lot of new things to tell you, maybe there will be something you want to hear."

"Oh, okay," Wang Ji replied naturally.

Wait, how did he know my name?
Filled with doubt, Wang Ji followed the Grand Master step by step toward the school's auditorium.

Lin Wan sat down next to Wang Ji and sighed softly, "It's like a dream. I'm sitting in such a huge hall, listening to the Grand Master impart knowledge."

"Our family will be proud of us."

"Everything we have now is thanks to that sage."

"Sage?"

Upon hearing this word, Wang Ji's mind stirred.

"Yes, that born sage, he changed everything."

Wang Ji asked, "What was that sage's name?"

Lin Wan shook his head: "I don't know, I've never heard of it. Perhaps the Archmage would know."

"That's it."

Wang Ji frowned, lost in thought, feeling as if something was about to burst out of his mind.

The next moment, his attention was drawn back by the voices from the podium.

The Grand Master's lecture began.

So Wang Ji suppressed his inner turmoil and began to listen attentively.
