In the quietude of the morning, Lin, enveloped in a newfound clarity about the intricate dance of points and gold within Xia Jing Academy, extended the core of the Goblin King to Ning Yiyi. "For you," he said, his gesture simple yet profound. The core shimmered in Ning Yiyi's hands, its warmth piercing the chill of the dawn, a beacon of rarity and value.
"Truly, the heart of the Goblin King?" Ning Yiyi's voice was laced with awe as she cradled the ruby-like core, its warmth spreading through her, a tangible whisper of its latent power.
Lin's nod was an affirmation, though his understanding of its worth was veiled in uncertainty. The journey from the estimation of a mere hundred thousand to the staggering realization that it might fetch ten million unveiled the depths of its worth, a disparity that left him momentarily stunned.
The Goblin King's core, a treasure unassumingly handed over, was more than a gift; it was a testament to Lin's journey and achievements. Ning Yiyi, recognizing the magnitude of Lin's generosity, accepted it with a heartfelt "Thank you," her gratitude echoing the value she saw not just in the core but in the friendship and trust it symbolized.
As they traversed the vast expanse of Xia Jing Academy under Ning Yiyi's guidance, Lin was introduced to the critical nodes of the academy's life—the exchanges, the training grounds, the library. Each point of interest underscored the vital role of points, painting a picture of an ecosystem where advancement and knowledge were locked behind the currency of effort and achievement.
Lin's inquiries about his sister, Lin Mohan, within the academic bastion brought forth a mixture of concern and determination. The blank slate of her current status within the academy's records was a puzzle, one that Ning Yiyi's insights helped to temper with possibilities of secrecy and prestige. The notion that Lin Mohan might be undertaking secret missions or had ascended to the ranks of the academy's elite colleges offered a sliver of hope, a beacon guiding Lin's next steps.
Lin's resolve, strengthened by Ning Yiyi's comforting words, was a silent vow to uncover the truth of his sister's whereabouts, a quest that would unfurl within the walls of Xia Jing Academy.
Their journey led them to Qianlong Academy, where Lin was introduced to the formidable Jiang Taotao, captain and elf knight, whose level 23 status was a stark reminder of the powerhouses within the academy. Lin's introduction as the nation's top scholar was met with interest, setting the stage for his integration into the elite circles of Xia Jing Academy.
As Lin stood there, exchanging pleasantries with Jiang Taotao, the weight of his title as the country's top scholar bore down on him, mingling with the anticipation of the trials and adventures that lay ahead. The paths of discovery, of friendship, and of conflict that awaited him within the academy's hallowed halls shimmered with potential, each step forward a brushstroke in the grand tapestry of his destiny.
