Energy Research Institute, Dean's Office.

Yin Ling leaned against the window and carefully examined Lin Ran's introduction document in his hand.

The breeze blowing from the window lifted up her long hair, her beautiful face and delicate facial features were like the fairy in mythology, and her beautiful eyes seemed to have a seductive charm.

At this time, the air around her distorted, and then a silver-haired boy holding a jade flute appeared.

"Sister, why bother with such a boring thing, just don't go."

Hearing these words, a smile appeared on Yin Ling's face:

"After all, the Scarlet Research Institute is the top authority in our Star City. The tasks they assign to me have to give me face. Besides, I am also very interested in Lin Ran. I have learned about the knot seal flow technique developed by him before. It is indeed a A very gifted human genius."

"You want to win him over?" the silver-haired boy asked curiously.

"For the time being, I don't have any thoughts in this regard. The talent that Lin Ran shows now is not enough for me to win the idea. Moreover, our mission has nothing to do with attracting human geniuses. Let the tribes come at the best time, and control the star city as soon as possible is our goal. ."

The silver-haired boy heard this, a thoughtful look appeared on his face, and then the figure suddenly disappeared in place.

Turning the pages of the information in his hand, Yin Ling looked up at the clock hanging on the wall.

Finding that it was early ten o'clock, she immediately closed the documents in her hand and walked out of the office.

Star City East District.

Broken empty commercial block, restaurant on the top floor of Building A. .

At this time, Feng Qi and Lin Ran were sitting in the restaurant waiting for Yin Ling to arrive.

Through the floor-to-ceiling glass of the restaurant, the prosperity of Star City can be seen.

For this date, Lin Ran changed into a brand new outfit, even her hairstyle was changed, and her appearance was significantly improved.

Coupled with the sunny smile on his face from time to time, you can have a good impression just by looking at each other.

Looking at Lin Ran sitting opposite, Feng Qi couldn't help nodding his head.

"Not bad, this looks can be beat."

"Brother Chess, I can only guarantee that I will try my best during the process. As for whether it will succeed, I can't guarantee it. After all, it is cross-species. If I use human thinking to lick it, it may not be understood by the other party."

"I never said that you must develop into love. Love is just an excuse for you to approach Yin Ling. As long as you can gain her trust, even friendship is not impossible."

"Understood, if you say that, my pressure is not so great!" Lin Ran nodded immediately.

"Play at will, I believe in your charm!"

After giving Lin Ran an encouraging look, Feng Qi took out his phone and checked the time, then stood up:

"It's almost time, I'll leave first and watch you play next."

With that said, Feng Qi stood up, walked to the table far away from Lin Ran and sat down, then waved to the waiter beside him with a bright smile on his face:

"order."

The time came to 11 o'clock.

While Lin Ran was waiting, Yin Ling arrived.

Compared with Lin Ran, Yin Ling dresses very casually, but her beautiful face has her own aura, which attracts a lot of attention as soon as she enters the restaurant.

Coming to Lin Ran, Yin Ling sat down calmly.

Lin Ran also raised his head at this time, meeting Yin Ling's gaze.

Looking at each other, Yin Ling's appearance obviously exceeded Lin Ran's expectations.

Even if I saw Yin Ling's photo in advance, I saw it with my own eyes and found that the silver bell in the photo is far less than the real person.

The straight nose, like the red lips, exudes a dusty temperament, and under the thin willow eyebrows are a pair of indifferent light black eyes.

"Lin Ran." Lin Ran smiled and stretched out his hand at this moment.

"Silver Bell."

After shaking hands with Lin Ran, a hint of curiosity appeared on Yin Ling's face:

"I'm curious about one thing. Why did you agree to this proposal from the Scarlet Research Institute? You don't really want to find someone, right? If you look at your age before the cataclysm, you're not even an adult."

Lin Ran, who had already rehearsed various questions in his mind in advance, thought for a while, then smiled:

"I don't think there is any problem with the proposal of the Scarlet Research Institute. Fertility rate is always a new era issue that needs to be faced. I also learned about your situation in advance, and I appreciate your achievements... As for the age issue you mentioned, in essence not a problem."

"I also think there is no problem with the proposal of the Scarlet Research Institute. I also know you in advance and appreciate your talent very much."

Yin Ling's answer obviously exceeded Lin Ran's expectations.

He thought that Yin Ling would find an excuse to refuse, but he did not expect that Yin Ling would think that the proposal of the Scarlet Research Institute was fine.

The progress unfolded in an unexpected way, and Lin Ran suddenly didn't know how to answer.

Fortunately, his heart is very strong.

After a brief silence, he began to look for topics.

He took the initiative to bring up the relevant knowledge about materials science, and started the following topics by asking questions.

The half-baked knowledge of making up for it in advance played a role at this time.

When the topic started, the awkward atmosphere gradually eased, and the two quickly became acquainted.

Not far away, Feng Qi, who had a big mouthful of food, glanced at him, nodded with satisfaction, and then smiled at the waiter standing beside him:

"One more meal, thank you."

Time passed in the chat between Lin Ran and Yin Ling. At the same time as the meal, Yin Ling took the initiative to chat about the content of cultivation and the magic that Lin Ran was most familiar with.

Talking about this aspect, Lin Ran suddenly regained his spirits and began to talk incessantly. Yin Ling listened with interest and asked questions from time to time.

It can be seen that Yin Ling is very interested in magic.

Many of the questions are very professional and not something that a half-informed person can ask.

The first date unfolds in unexpected ways.

The time came to 5:10 pm.

Yin Ling and Lin Ran got up and left the restaurant, then took a car and went straight to the shore of Xingguang Lake in the central district.

It was getting dark, and the two walked by the lake and continued to chat about the topic of magic.

After a while, they came to the bench by the lake and sat down. At this time, Yin Ling looked at Lin Ran and asked a question:

"Can you play chess?"

"What chess?"

"It is a kind of chess that I invented by myself. The rule is to use the arrangement of the aura particles to combine the corresponding pieces to play the game."

The voice fell, Yin Ling waved his hand, and the spiritual energy in the air suddenly gathered into a golden thread.

I saw golden silk threads flowing and sketching in the air, and the prototype of the chessboard appeared.

"Try?"

"Okay, but I need the detailed rules of the game." Lin Ran answered curiously without hesitation.

Next, Yin Ling began to describe the rules of "Spiritual Chess". During the period, he sketched the pieces from time to time, and let Lin Ran understand the detailed rules in a practical way.

Lin Ran's talent is extremely high, and he soon realized the rules of Lingqi.

Lingqi is essentially a game with natural elements as pieces, and a sequence of natural elements is outlined for each round. It involves the mutual generation and mutual restraint of elements, as well as the pre-judgment game in the ordinary chess game, which is a very test of the chess player's strategizing ability and talent.

In the first game, Lin Ran was defeated in less than five minutes.

This immediately aroused Lin Ran's competitive spirit.

He has had an understanding and affinity for elements beyond ordinary people since he was a child. Although he failed at the first contact, he felt that he could do better.

After briefly recalling the reason for the error, Lin Ran immediately said:

"Come again."

Yin Ling smiled and nodded, and the element pieces on the chessboard dissipated with a wave.

A new round of games begins.

This time, Lin Ran made significant progress and persisted for 20 minutes.

The third game started immediately, this time Lin Ran lasted for more than 30 minutes, and gradually became familiar with the rules of the game.

From the fourth round, Lin Ran has learned how to design element traps.

Lin Ran's potential really surprised Yin Ling.

After reading Lin Ran's information in advance, he knew that Lin Ran was very talented in magic.

But this talent wasn't enough to surprise her.

Junyin flow is a subversive technique innovation for human beings, but it is very common to Yinyue clan. After all, the knowledge accumulated by Yinyue clan is far from being comparable to a simple Junyin flow.

But this time, Yin Ling was completely shocked.

Lingqi was not created by her, but an important lesson for members of the Yinyue Clan to grow up.

Every member of the Yinyue clan will come into contact with spirit chess when they grow up, which is also a way for the Yinyue clan to exercise their thinking and control over the elements.

Gu Bi

Lingqi can very well detect the element affinity of the Yinyue people, as well as the talent in magic ability.

What is certain is that Lin Ran has come into contact with Lingqi for the first time.

But he's improving at an unbelievable rate.

Looking at Lin Ran who was playing chess seriously, Yin Ling's beautiful eyes blinked, and a hint of curiosity appeared in her heart.

It turns out that Lin Ran's talent is far stronger than she expected.

It is conceivable that if Lin Ran is given space and time to continue to grow, he will surely be included in the history of the human race and become one of the pioneers on the road of human growth.

After a short period of mental adjustment, Yin Ling decided to test Lin Ran's limit.

The pieces on the chessboard dissipated between the waves, and the chess game was restored.

"Do you want to continue?"

"Continue!" Lin Ran, who had already fully invested, said without hesitation.

While speaking, Lin Ran waved and arranged a fire element chess piece, which was placed on the lower left corner of the chessboard.

The chess game started again.

In this game, Lin Ran took it very seriously. While gradually familiarizing himself with the rules, he also learned how to use the mutual generation of elements to improve the strength of his own pieces, and then weaken the pieces in Yin Ling's hand by counteracting each other.

The super talent of magic law is gradually revealed in the game of chess.

In the history of the invasion of the human struggle field, there are not a few outstanding talents, and each of them has bloomed their own light in their era.

But there are not many peerless geniuses whose light can penetrate the long history.

Their stories are still talked about by future generations even after several eras have passed.

Lin Ran is one of them.

The knot seal flow technique he created when he was young has become one of the three major schools of magic techniques in the future, and the techniques developed later are also known as top-level techniques.

If it wasn't for being persecuted by the Lord of the Mist and ending the rest of his life with a tragic ending, Lin Ran's achievements will continue for decades, and the legendary story will continue to the end of human civilization.

In the history of 2000 years after the catastrophe, Lin Ran's talent was ranked in the top three in the list of magic talents.

This evaluation is enough to see the future people's affirmation of Lin Ran's talent.

Perhaps human beings are inferior to the profound domain forces in all aspects, but there are also very few superhuman beings who are capable of changing history.

Lin Ran is one of them.

After hours of chess games, Lin Ran kept surprising Yin Ling.

Even in several of the games, Yin Ling almost fell into the formation of elements arranged by Lin Ran, and finally won by relying on rich experience.

Yin Ling, who believes that he has an excellent talent for magic, has to start focusing on the game process.

Being able to be dispatched to the human world in advance as a pioneer, she considers herself to be very good, and she has been the best among her peers since she was a child.

Spirit chess was her favorite means of entertainment when she was growing up.

So far, she has rarely encountered an opponent among her peers who can make her play the game seriously.

But with Lin Ran's current talent, she may be defeated if she is not careful.

As time passed, Yin Ling soon threw himself into the chess game just like Lin Ran.

At this time, on the other side of Xingguang Lake.

Feng Qi took out his phone and checked the time.

Found out that it was already 11pm.

I thought that the first date would be over soon, and it would be almost the same to relax by the lake after dinner.

Unexpectedly, both of them were on top.

When he found out that the two were playing chess, he was quite stunned.

It seems that love has really developed in the direction of friendship.

But it's a good development.

Whether it is love or friendship, as long as you can gain trust and obtain information, it is a good process.

Thinking of this, Feng Qi stood up and decided to leave early.

Now it's time to start planning the script.

The first script, the hero saves the beauty.

But not everyone can be this bad guy.

The inexplicable attack will definitely make Yin Ling suspicious. After all, the security of Star City has always been very good, and vicious incidents such as robbery rarely occur.

Fortunately, Feng Qi had already thought of his goal of playing the bad guy.

There was only one organization in the entire Star City that could give Yin Ling a reasonable reason to be assassinated.

The League of Underdogs in the Field.

Assassination of human genius is just a task for them.

Whether it is the assassination of Yin Ling or Lin Ran, there is no need for any reason, just because they are human geniuses.

Finding that the assassins were members of the Alliance of the Underdogs in the Domain, Yin Ling would only mistake them for the task of assassinating geniuses, and would not raise any other suspicions.

So he needs to conquer the field weak alliance in advance.

Then let them cooperate with him and help Lin Ran play the first script that draws closer feelings with Yin Ling.

In this regard, he has already done it in the previous timeline, and it is very easy for him to do it.

But the first script was in no hurry to unfold.

Feelings need time to settle, otherwise it will appear very exaggerated.

With a happy mood, Feng Qi decided to go to the stronghold of the Domain Weak Race Alliance, and talk to the person in charge of the Domain Weak Race Alliance, that is, one of the younger brothers in the previous timeline, "Black Dragon".

The time came to 1 am.

When Yinling struggled to win, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Reaching out to wipe the sweat from her forehead, she looked at Lin Ran with a focused expression, and a storm surged inside her.

She found that the original human talent can be so terrifying.

She almost lost her in the most professional "Spirit Chess".

At first, she just wanted to test Lin Ran's talent, and now she is fully coping with it, Lin Ran has given her too much shock.

"Let's come here today, I'll go back and study it, I will definitely win you tomorrow." Lin Ran said at this moment.

"Okay, continue tomorrow!" Yin Ling agreed without hesitation.

"I'll take it to you."

"No, I'll just go back by myself." Yin Ling shook her head and chose to refuse.

Hearing these words, Lin Ran, whose mind was full of chess game layout, did not insist, and immediately said that he would see you tomorrow, then turned and left.

When Lin Ran's figure was gone, the air around Yin Ling distorted, and the figure of the silver-haired boy appeared.

"Sister, his spell potential is terrible."

The silver-haired youth who always had an indifferent expression showed horror on his face, obviously also shocked by Lin Ran's talent.

"If he is given room to continue to grow, I believe he will bring positive changes to the science of human magic."

"This is not a good thing for us. His growth will lead to the improvement of the entire star city's combat power." The silver-haired boy couldn't help frowning, and then continued:

"Sister, is it really impossible for us to live in peace with humans?"

"It's impossible, we can't give the human beings we want, we can only grab it... So you're right, Lin Ran's growth may become a hidden danger for us."

"Do you need me to take action? His strength should not be strong, and I have the confidence to assassinate him."

Hearing the boy's proposal, Yin Ling stood up and rubbed his hair, smiling:

"Don't do stupid things~www.mtlnovel.com~ Your behavior may expose your identity, even if the probability is very low, but once exposed, the chain reaction may even destroy our future plans."

"Fighting and killing is the last resort. Our lurking plan destined us to keep a low profile and not have any behavior that might reveal our identity."

"I understand." The silver-haired boy nodded obediently.

At this time, Yin Ling took out a silver-white mobile phone from her backpack. After passing the verification of her fingerprint and pupil, she dialed a number.

When the phone was connected, Yin Bell's voice changed, and he said in a slightly hoarse and strange voice:

"Domain Alliance?"

"What's the matter with you?" A rough voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Assassinate a human genius for me..."

Looking at the elder sister who was telling the information about the assassination target, the silver-haired boy stood beside him with a confused expression.

He suddenly felt that he was still too young.
