In Sumeru, pretend to be a scholar!

Back at the inn, the warmth in Wang Yan's heart slowly faded.

Before his transmigration, Wang Yan's fondness for human children had long been worn away by the endless stream of videos of unruly children on the internet.

But today, in just the time it takes to tell a story, these children in the desert have warmed Wang Yan's heart once again.

I don't know if it's the desert children's innate optimism or Dixia's excellent teaching.

These children are polite and will keep praising you; they are so sensible that it breaks your heart.

"story…"

Wang Yan pondered silently.

As a scholar of the epistemological school, his first project was toothpaste, which is basically unrelated to the epistemological school.

The second project was originally cement, which was also closer to the Mystic School, but when I mentioned it to Farusan, she told me that someone had already been researching it.

In the square above Tianbi Pool, some vendors have already started selling their wares.

Therefore, the second project was aborted.

"Perhaps my first epistemological project could be a gift for children," Wang Yan's eyes flashed. "I could write a children's book."

As everyone knows, in Teyvat, fairy tale books are either underground or in the heavens.

As an epistemologist, it is quite reasonable for him to write a fairy tale for children.

Having formed an idea, Wang Yan did not act immediately. There are priorities, and writing a fairy tale was clearly not the most urgent task at hand.

He arrived at Farusian's door and knocked gently.

"Mentor, it's me."

The door opened, and Wang Yan saw a cyan cube floating next to Farusan.

"This...Master, why did you bring out the He Yao Multifaceted Body?" Wang Yan asked curiously.

As a student of Farusan, Wang Yan had naturally come into contact with the Heyao Multifaceted Dimension before him. It was a truly extraordinary device, capable of using wind elements to attack enemies and buff allies.

In the game, it is also thanks to the multifaceted buffs of Hercules that Farusan has firmly established herself as the top wind support.

Farusan glanced at Wang Yan, let him in, and then said, "Since the foolish apprentice needs protection, you can rest in my room for now."

"Hmm? Mentor, do you also think those people will attack the inn?" Wang Yan asked subconsciously.

Fiona looked at him: "Shouldn't you first argue that you're not a stupid apprentice?"

"what?"

Wang Yan was stunned for a moment before realizing that Farusan had just cursed at him.

"Hmph, even the most unreliable gilded guild in the desert will use a feint attack." Farusan sneered. "In the entire Kawan Post Station, the inns are where the most important people gather; scholars and wealthy merchants rest here."

"The best way for those people to attack the warehouse is to first get something out of the inn to lure the guards at the warehouse to come back and help."

"Dishia isn't in the warehouse. We need to redeploy some of the guards so they can make their move."

Then, Farusan added, "You just said 'also,' so it seems that the Fiery Mane Lion thinks so too?"

Wang Yan nodded: "That's right, Dixia told us to protect ourselves."

"So, what are you thinking? Do you want to stay in your room, or do you want to go out and see what's going on?" Farusan asked playfully.

"Huh?" Wang Yan's eyes widened. "What do you mean, mentor?"

What do you mean, "go out and take a look"? Didn't I tell you to stay in your room?

Farusan's lips curled into a smile: "I've heard that when a child holds a hammer, they'll want to hammer something... You designed and assembled this hand crossbow yourself, and even inscribed elemental runes on it. Don't you... want to try it out? You haven't encountered any monsters along the way, aren't you disappointed!"

Wang Yan's expression was somewhat strange, but he did not refute Farusan's words.

Because she is right.

Just like a child holding a hammer, Wang Yan really wanted to test his hand crossbow.

However, after traveling for a month, perhaps due to the intimidating aura of Dixia, or perhaps because there were too many people in the caravan, they did not encounter a single monster attack.

Now that Farusan has said that, Wang Yan is actually starting to want to go out and see the world.

"But... mentor, what about safety..." Wang Yan still hesitated.

Farusan pouted: "Don't worry, I'll be watching. I've been teaching you academic things, and since we've run into each other today, I'll let you see some blood."

Wang Yan glared: "Does our school still teach combat?"

"The school of thought doesn't teach it, but the scholar must learn it." Flossan curled her lip. "You don't actually think Alheisen is some weak, bookish academic, do you?"

Wang Yan smirked.

When will I be able to hear "Erhesen is a weak academic" without laughing?

"As an epistemological scholar, unless you want to remain an insider forever, you must have the ability to fight."

"Nowadays, most of the younger generation prefer to hire VIP tour groups to gain prestige before going out on expeditions. This method can only deal with ordinary dangers, but in the event of an emergency, accidents are likely to occur."

"Therefore, in my opinion, whether they are scholars of the epistemological school or scholars of other schools, the most basic combat ability is essential."

"Falusian said very seriously."

A hundred years ago, the scholars of the Order of the Church in her time were all very capable fighters, even without the Eye of God.

To put it another way, even without the Eye of God, Farusan dared to venture deep into the ruins alone.

That's why she thought of testing Wang Yan's combat abilities.

"Professor, shall I head out now?" Wang Yan asked tentatively, a little excited inside.

When he first transmigrated, he was startled when he encountered a floating water mushroom beast, but now, facing a criminal gang, Wang Yan dares to approach and give it a try.

All I can say is... the weight of knowledge brings peace of mind.

Of course, the most important thing is having Farusan by my side.

Farusan waved her hand, and the floating He Yao multifaceted entity flew to Wang Yan's side: "Wait a little longer, until it gets dark, then those people will probably make their move. You can go out then, and the He Yao multifaceted entity will follow you."

"Aren't you coming along, mentor?" Wang Yan asked instinctively.

Farusan rolled her eyes at him: "I still need to organize the data on the ruins, I don't have time to play with you, He Yao is enough for me."

As soon as she finished speaking, He Yao flew around Wang Yan in a circle, then nudged Wang Yan's arm like a little pet, as if to tell Wang Yan: I'm very powerful.

(The one inside is the real thing)

The little thing is quite clever.

Wang Yan was not surprised that He Yao could understand human speech in many ways.

In fact, this is just a kind of mimicry intelligence, closer to the AI ​​before time travel, rather than a true mechanical life form.

Farusan has a mechanical companion named Tamimi.

After Farusian disappeared in a lost land, her family and friends firmly believed she was still alive and searched for her for more than 20 years until her death was imminent.

Later, they placed their hopes on Tamimi, who had not aged with time, and gave it the ability to self-renew, so that it could continue to search for Farusan in their place.

In order to deliver their last letter to Farusan, who was in some unknown ruin, Tamimi used the parts she collected to constantly repair and modify herself. After decades of wandering, she eventually evolved into the legend of the "Wanderer of Ruins".

After Farusan and Tamimi met, the mechanical companion finally couldn't hold on any longer, completely lost its function, and entered eternal slumber.

In order to "revive" Tamimi, Farusan conducted in-depth research on Abatui's Kakata.

The main focus is on researching the corresponding "regeneration mechanism," which is something that allows machines to self-renew and thus exist for a long time.

Of course, the reason why Farusan was able to study Kakata was because the parts that were replaced on Kakata's body were Tamimi's.

For Farusan, Kakata is also part of the continuation of Tamimi.

Meanwhile, Kakata's intelligence is also a major research target for Farusan.

Clearly, Farusan's research has yielded some results, and she has applied those results to her own remarkable multifaceted development.
