In Sumeru, pretend to be a scholar

[Scopia] Secret Realm.

Wang Yan's familiar home.

He closed the teleportation door and walked towards the biological laboratory.

Before I even reached the door, I heard a familiar voice coming from inside.

"Wang Yan? Is that you back?"

Serene floated out of the laboratory, twirling in mid-air in her fairy form before quickly drifting to Wang Yan and looking him up and down.

It seemed they were checking to see if Wang Yan was injured.

"You didn't come back last night," Serene said with a hint of worry in her voice. "Did something happen?"

In Serene's mind, Wang Yan would return to the Secret Realm every night.

Even if I come back late sometimes, I will tell her in advance.

I've never seen anyone or heard a word from them all night before.

Therefore, Serene was worried that Wang Yan might have encountered some danger.

"It's alright, don't worry." Wang Yan smiled and reached out to rub Serene's little head. "She was just so engrossed in her research that she forgot about the time."

Wang Yan took out the book "World-Style: Commentary and Structural Analysis" and waved it in front of Serene.

"This is a manuscript with annotations on the 'World Style' left by Alan Gijodan."

“A global style, huh?” Serene nodded.

She naturally knew this, and she also knew that Wang Yan came to Fengdan largely for this thing.

Serene went over to take a look and found that it was full of formulas and diagrams.

The little fairy frowned slightly, and after a while, she withdrew her gaze: "There is indeed something there. The multi-elemental circulation system... is indeed different from the system He created. No wonder it can observe the future..."

Wang Yan was slightly surprised: "You can understand it?"

“I can understand some of it.” Serene shook her head. “I understand the ‘monistic emanation’ theory, and based on that, I can try to understand the ‘world-style’, but I certainly can’t understand it all.”

Although angels possess the wisdom to guide humanity, those who know better understand that angels do not have intelligence far exceeding that of humans; they also need to learn.

Serene's expertise lies in biological and genetic research; in other areas, she can only say she has a superficial understanding.

However, it's okay if you don't understand; there's no requirement to understand.

“Yes, it’s very complicated.” Wang Yan nodded and put his notebook away. “I studied it all night and only barely got to the point. I was so engrossed that I forgot the time and forgot to tell you. I’m sorry to have worried you.”

"It's alright, it's alright, I'm glad you're back safe and sound." Serene breathed a sigh of relief, then floated over to Wang Yan and nuzzled his cheek. "Remember to tell me in advance next time, I didn't sleep well all night."

She didn't sleep at all.

At first, she was very enthusiastic about the experiment, but as it got later and later, and Wang Yan still hadn't returned, she was filled with worry.

"Okay, I'll definitely do it next time," Wang Yan replied with a smile.

Serene nodded in satisfaction, then suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "Oh right, the void terminal you left in the lab beeped."

“A void terminal?” Wang Yan was taken aback.

Due to geographical limitations, the service area of ​​the virtual terminal currently only covers the Sumeru region.

However, because Wang Yan built the Tianhuan Instrument Orbit to connect to Aru in order to 'steal' Aru's computing power, the Void Terminal can also be used here.

“Hmm.” Serene nodded. “It was probably around midnight. It rang for a while, but I didn’t have the authority to answer it, so I could only watch it ring.”

Only Wang Yan himself and "Seventy-two Xuanming" have the authority to open Wang Yan's void terminal.

Granting permissions to "Seventy-Two Xuanming" is mainly to facilitate its learning using the virtual terminal.

Serene continued, "Then it stopped ringing. I glanced at it and saw that there was an unread message, but I couldn't open it and I don't know who sent it."

Wang Yan's brows furrowed slightly.

The Void Terminal is the standard communication tool for scholars in the Council of the Instruction, and generally only people in the Council of the Instruction use it to contact them.

Sending a message in the early hours of the morning... who could it be?

Mentor?

Or someone else from the Order of the Fathers?

Wang Yan's heart stirred, recalling the result he had derived using the world-style deduction last night.

Within one or two days, Eros will appear in Maple Leaf and be with him.

Could it be...?

"Let's go take a look," Wang Yan said, and strode towards the laboratory.

Serene quickly followed.

...

Inside the first laboratory, the Tianhuan instrument orbiter was quietly humming, its pale blue light flowing slowly through the air.

Wang Yan walked to the instrument and picked up the virtual terminal placed on it.

Wear it on your ear to activate the virtual screen.

Sure enough, the screen showed several unread message requests and one unread message.

The sender's name was clearly written as "Falusian".

Wang Yan's heart skipped a beat.

He conducted the simulation yesterday evening, while Serene said the message from the Void Terminal arrived in the early morning.

The simulations occurred earlier than the reality.

The global prediction actually came true.

Therefore, my admiration for the World Tree is understandable, and at the same time, with myself as the variable, the World Tree concept is comprehensible.

Is it because the World Format is superior to the Sacred Plan, or is it because... I'm using the World Format?

He pondered for a moment, took a deep breath, and opened the unread message.

-----------------

To my most brilliant student:

Arno and the other kids recently enrolled in a desert extracurricular interest group and went to Aru village with the research team from the Ministry of Education.

They were all incredibly excited about the desert ecological research they were going to do.

I've already contacted Candice and asked her to look after things. I've also notified Avanpati to make arrangements, so there shouldn't be any problems.

Speaking of which, the place has become much quieter since the children left.

I haven't had any particularly urgent projects lately, and I've almost finished revising the papers I have on hand.

The Thousand Spirits Film Festival seems to be starting soon, right? Didn't you say you'd registered? I don't know if the screening schedule has been finalized yet.

Well... since you should be mostly done with your work, and I happen to have some free time here...

Why don't you find some time to go back to Sumeru?

It's not that I want to go to Fengdan to see any film festival, it's just that... I'm a little worried about you being out there all by yourself.

After all, you're unfamiliar with the area around Fengdan, and you don't really know how to take care of yourself.

In short, it's up to you to decide.

琺露珊

-----------------

Wang Yan couldn't help but laugh when he saw the message.

The stubbornness of her own cute female mentor is comparable to that of Sitrus.

I clearly miss him, I clearly want to go to Fengdan to see his movie, but I keep making up a bunch of excuses.

However, Wang Yan did not expose her.

He knows Estée Lauder too well.

This mentor is great in every way, except that she's too arrogant.

If you call her out on it directly, she'll get angry with you.

Wang Yan thought for a moment and began replying to the message:

-----------------

To my wisest mentor:

As long as the children's affairs are arranged properly, there's nothing to worry about; Candice and Avanbotti are both reliable.

The film schedule hasn't been released yet, but it should be soon. If you have time, you should definitely come and check it out; the Thousand Spirits Film Festival in Fengdan is quite lively.

Everything is fine here, so you don't need to worry.

If it's convenient for you, I'll come back to pick you up now.

Wang Yan

-----------------

send.

Wang Yan's smile was very warm.

The global analysis proved correct.

Estée Lauder is really coming to Maple Leaf.

And he personally went to pick him up.

As for deliberately refusing to meet Falushan in order to refute World Style's answer... Wang Yan wasn't that bored, and it was somewhat disrespectful to his mentor.

The time of the prediction was not accurate enough; there was a one-day difference.

However, Wang Yan felt that this was probably because he was not familiar enough with the [World Style], and that it would be more accurate once he became more familiar with it.

Of course, one should not assume that Wang Yan's words are unfounded or biased.

René was calculating the fate of the entire Maple Leaf Village, but the future of the Maple Leaf Village was vastly different from that of Luzanne.

As it pondered, the Void Terminal trembled slightly.

It was a communication request from Estelle.

Wang Yan smiled and pressed the call button.

"Hey?"

“Wang Yan”.

Erosanne's voice came from the terminal, sounding as calm and steady as ever.

But Wang Yan knew her too well.

There was a hint of barely suppressed excitement in her voice; the slight upward rise at the end of her note betrayed her feelings.

"Mentor," Wang Yan said with a smile, "you saw my message?"

"Yes, I saw it." Eros cleared her throat, trying to make her voice sound calm. "Since it's convenient for you, I'll make the effort to go over there."

Wang Yan suppressed a laugh and said cooperatively, "Then I'll trouble you, mentor."

"No trouble at all." Erosanne paused for a moment, then continued, "I'll pack my things, and you can come pick me up at noon."

"it is good."

"By the way... by the way, have lunch at home before you leave." Erosanne's voice lowered slightly, "Otherwise, the food will easily spoil if left at home."

Another excuse.

Wang Yan felt a warm glow inside, but didn't expose him: "Okay, then I'm in for a treat."

"Hmph, good to know." There was a hint of smugness in Eros's tone. "I've learned a new dish, I'll make it for you to try later."

"I'm really looking forward to it."

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the call.
