Chapter 926: Chapter 435: Emergency Summoning Order, The Multivision Version of the Prophecy

[...]

[The Refined Copper carriage came to a halt amidst the fog, and there you were, leaning against the carriage wall, holding the Crimson Greatsword, your gaze cast into the boundless mist, waiting for a fated person to approach.]

[And behind you, in the distance within the fog, loomed the massive silhouette of a skyscraper, the ’Polyvision School’s Branch Association’ located in the Second Capital.]

[...]

[You had not been waiting long when you suddenly perked up your ears, hearing the sound of a carriage speeding in the distance.]

[With a tap of your toes, you shot into the fog, rushing towards the unfamiliar carriage...]

[Soon you made out the outline of the carriage, and with your sword drawn across, the Refined Copper horses, startled, reared on their front hooves, skidding to an abrupt stop, nearly flipping over the carriage.]

[The carriage halted involuntarily, the door swung open, and out stormed a Scholar, fuming with anger.]

[The Scholar wore a Magic Robe identical to the standard ones you had seen on ’Multivision Scholars’. The slight difference was that the chest area of the robe was conspicuously raised, clearly indicating she was a female Scholar.]

[Numerous eyes covered her originally beautiful face, completely destroying the beauty and even giving off a sinister and terrifying impression.]

[Your eyes lit up. Although the Scholar was a different gender from you, her status was still considerable. Using this Shell to blend into the Branch Association would save you a lot of unnecessary trouble.]

[The ’Multivision Scholar’ glared at you with a myriad of eyes on her face, and upon seeing that you were a fighter with no ’Knowledge’, she immediately shrieked in rage...]

[You blind and lowly warrior, do you even realize you’ve disturbed a ’Multivision Scholar’? Kneel down immediately to beg for mercy and apologize!]

[Your eyes turned cold, and with a fierce step forward, you raised your sword to strike!]

[The ’Multivision Scholar’ never expected that you, a coarse warrior, would not only refuse to admit your guilt but also dare to commit the insolence of assaulting your superior. She quickly raised a ’Knowledge Light Wall’ for defense, determined to teach you a profound and unforgettable lesson later.]

[The Crimson Greatsword sliced through the air, emitting a shrill whistle. The ’Multivision Scholar’s’ expression changed drastically as she let out a high-pitched scream of terror.]

[At this moment, she realized that you, a coarse warrior, possessed a force she could not possibly withstand, but it was already too late...]

[A flash of blood erupted, the ’Multivision Scholar’ with a complicated look on her face, clutching her chest as she slowly fell to the ground...]

[You have defeated the ’Knowledge-seeking Multivision Scholar’, gaining a small increase in experience points.]

[Shell of the ’Knowledge-seeking Multivision Scholar’: A female scholar who rushed to the Branch Association as if she had urgent matters to attend to. On the way, she was stopped by a crude warrior coveting her beauty, seeking her affection. Upon her refusal, the warrior became furiously enraged and murdered her without mercy. Compatibility: 118% (+65%).]

[Would you like to possess this Shell?]

Lin Xun twitched the corner of his mouth, ignoring the prank from the Underworld Game, and clicked the ’Yes’ option.

[You have possessed the Shell of the ’Knowledge-seeking Multivision Scholar’!]

[Fragments of memory remaining in the Shell gradually began to resurface...]

[...]

[Unlike the Scholars of the Direct View School who were either rich or noble by birth, the Scholars of the Polyvision School were largely commoners, with few noble offspring voluntarily joining the Polyvision School.]

[You also came from a common family, but as long as one obtained the degree of a Scholar, whether from Direct View or Polyvision, one could become a noble existence that ordinary people had to look up to.]

[Without a privileged background and given the modest salary paid by the Multivision Association, it was difficult to support the various expenses of a Scholar; hence most Scholars did not remain in the Association for long but often went out to earn quick money to supplement the significant expenditures.]

[Today, you were invited by ’Nottos Corporation’ to hold a lecture, imparting great knowledge to a group of lowly merchants... heh, had it not been for the chairman’s promise of a hefty sum of gold coins, you wouldn’t have bothered with these profit-seeking lowlifes.]

[Compared to hunting mysterious creatures in the Abyss and the Outer Seas for wealth, you thought that giving lectures and imparting knowledge was more suited to a Scholar’s elegance; it would have been even better if the audience were not those merchants but the Empire’s nobility.]

[After all, you had only become a Scholar thanks to your extraordinary talent, so why should you have to engage in such extremely dangerous undertakings?]

[But today, your mood was terrible because the lecture had only reached the halfway point when you received an urgent notice from the Branch Association, requesting your immediate return.]

[Damn it! Your lecture was only an hour and a half from finishing, and leaving midway would not only mean losing the due payment but also compensate these petty merchants for breaching the contract.]

[Little merchants were just that, little merchants, lacking boldness and vision, always being too prudent in contracting their affairs.]

[With a cold face, you knew that the breach of contract fee was no small amount, and this added insult to injury for an already not-so-wealthy family.]

[The Association rarely issued such urgent summons, and even though you were reluctant, you had no choice but to interrupt the lecture...]

[Yet, you couldn’t just walk away without paying the compensation, for despite not being wealthy, a Multivision Scholar still cared about reputation and dignity.]

[The chairman of the corporation seemed afraid of offending you, carefully informing you that you needn’t pay the breach of contract fee, it would suffice if the Scholar honored them with her presence at dinner next time...]

[The chairman’s attitude was respectful and humble, but you clearly caught a glimpse of the lascivious vulgarity hidden in his eyes.]

[You sneered, turned away, and left the corporation to ride the carriage to the Association.]
