Lu Yibei didn't know if the "small paper fragments" sacrificed by Ju Meng's dependents were reliable, but at least the efficiency was really high.
In just one hour, Ju Meng received over two thousand "sacrifices", and then spent half an hour filtering out repetitive and meaningless content from the vast amount of text, followed by Ju Meng's confirmation and reorganization. During this time, she even squeezed in two games of Fall Guys.
Two hours later, a sprawling, over 13,000-word stitched-together monster paper was born. Its length was much longer than a typical small paper, almost comparable to a graduation thesis.
"Here, it's done! Where is it?"
"Wait, I'll get the big baby for you to see!"
Ju Meng glanced out the window, tilted her head and said, "Huh, it's still morning, are you in such a hurry to see your baby? Isn't that bad?"
"Ah! As the old saying goes, the plan for the day begins in the morning!" Lu Yibei said.
"..." Ju Meng rested her chin and pondered for two seconds, then said seriously, "Lu Yibei, your corny flirting skills have been getting better recently!"
"Honestly, have you been messing around with dogs outside behind my back?"
In an instant, the figure of a certain dark-skinned, blonde beautiful girl flashed through Lu Yibei's mind. She said expressionlessly, "Actually, my Night Watch Leader is the kind of dog you're talking about."
As she spoke, Lu Yibei reached into her jacket pocket and fumbled for a bit, then grabbed the urban legend Main Body Core and placed it on the tender white little hand extended in front of her.
Ju Meng took the urban legend Main Body Core, which looked like crystallized pork belly, brought it closer to examine it carefully, then frowned and looked at Lu Yibei.
"Something's not right!"
"What's wrong? Is this urban legend Main Body Core poisonous again?"
Ju Meng looked at Lu Yibei and said with a serious expression, "I mean *you* are not right!"
"How did you, a three-legged cat Psychic who just finished drawing a Spirit Mark, manage to kill a urban legend of this level... uh, according to the Night Watch, a Spiritual Energy Level B Level urban legend, and not even get injured?"
"This... actually... probably..." Lu Yibei's lips parted slightly, speechless for a moment.
If I tell her that in a state of extreme fear, my potential exploded, I slid under it with a slide tackle, and used my ancestral kitchen knife to slice open its belly, beautifully completing the kill, would she believe it?
Damn it, such an outrageous lie, I can't say it!
As Lu Yibei was thinking, a tender white little hand suddenly reached out in front of her, waved in front of her eyes, and the slightly glowing mark on it was particularly conspicuous.
"Man, please stop fabricating lies!" Ju Meng's voice softly echoed in Lu Yibei's ear.
Lu Yibei, "..."
I don't want to either!
Isn't it because you were hunting the urban legend-ified me that I didn't dare tell you the truth?
Just as Lu Yibei's heart was pounding like a madman was doing wild punches in her brain, Ju Meng's words were like a general amnesty to her.
"Forget it, men! They always have some dirty little secrets, and I'm too lazy to bother."
As she spoke, she picked up the urban legend Main Body Core, which was hard as iron, put it into her mouth, bit off a small piece with a "crunch", and then waved at Lu Yibei.
"Xiao Bei Zi! Did you buy porridge for breakfast? Quick, bring it to this palace. This urban legend Main Body Core is greasy like lard, I need some porridge to wash it down."
"Got it, Old Buddha, coming right up!"
Lu Yibei responded, brought the vegetable leaf porridge to Ju Meng, and then watched her eat it clean in no time, one mouthful of porridge, one mouthful of urban legend Main Body Core.
At this moment, she realized that standing in front of her was a genuine Upper-level urban legend, devouring the urban legend Main Body Core of a B Level urban legend as if it were nothing.
Eating the urban legend Main Body Core with porridge, like steamed buns, can other urban legend do such a bold thing?
Lu Yibei thought, and while Ju Meng had just finished devouring the urban legend Main Body Core and was feeling satisfied and comfortable, she suddenly asked, "By the way, Sister Mengmeng, do you know Darvaza?"
Hearing this, Ju Meng was startled, looked Lu Yibei up and down, and said, "Yes! Why are you asking? Want to go traveling?"
"I really want to go," Lu Yibei said expressionlessly, her tone somewhat desolate and melancholic as she spoke. "Before my father passed away, he had promised to go there with me, but unfortunately..."
"Isn't winter break about a month away? I was thinking of going there then, to fulfill a wish."
Hearing this, Ju Meng's gaze subtly swept over the mark on the back of her hand. After seeing that the mark didn't light up, her slightly tense nerves finally relaxed.
"Then I suggest you don't go."
"Huh? Why?" Lu Yibei asked in confusion.
"There's a urban legend gathering place there, like Taoyuan, you know?" Ju Meng explained.
"This..." Lu Yibei frowned slightly. "Are outsiders not allowed to travel in your Taoyuan?"
"How could that be!" Ju Meng's chin lifted slightly, and she said somewhat proudly, "A rational and understanding deity like me, Sister, would certainly not do such a thing."
"Our Taoyuan is a national 5A-level scenic spot, okay? The tickets and gift shop make a lot of money every year!"
Lu Yibei, "..." Old one, you're probably letting tourists in because you're greedy for the dividends, right?
"However, Darvaza is different," Ju Meng said. "Ordinary humans can go, solo Psychic can go, and even ordinary urban legend can go, but you cannot."
"Why? What will happen if I go?" Lu Yibei asked blankly.
"The urban legend Leader there is very much at odds with the Night Watch!" Ju Meng said with a serious expression. "Because you are a Night Watch agent, you will surely die if you go."
Hearing Ju Meng speak so ominously, Lu Yibei frowned and said weakly, "That scary? Is the Leader there very strong?"
"I, the magnificent Lord Ju Meng, organized three Night Parade of One Hundred Demons to occupy the territory in Taoyuan. You know Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, right? The Night Watch should have taught you, right?"
Lu Yibei nodded.
She had indeed seen information about Night Parade of One Hundred Demons in the si ye book, and it was also mentioned in the knowledge of the Great Serpent God.
Simply put, it is the act of an Upper-level urban legend connecting its aura with the earth pulse aura of a certain area through a special ritual, claiming territory and declaring sovereignty.
To put it even simpler, it's like a dog marking its territory by peeing.
The continuous mountain ranges in the Bamboo Scroll Illusion, for example, are the result of the Great Serpent God's Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.
Of course, besides the function of claiming territory, Night Parade of One Hundred Demons has many other benefits.
It's just that the si ye book didn't provide a detailed introduction, and the Great Serpent God didn't care at all during its peak, so it didn't delve into research, and thus Lu Yibei wasn't particularly clear about it.
"Then do you know how many times the urban legend Leader of Darvaza has organized it?" Ju Meng asked.
Lu Yibei shook her head.
Ju Meng glanced at Lu Yibei with an expression like she was looking at an idiot, and said seriously, "Thirty-three times!"
"Hiss—!" Lu Yibei drew a sharp breath.
"Scared now?" Ju Meng pouted and said, "Anyway, I can't be sure how strong the urban legend Leader there is, but he's definitely a fierce one!"
"With your small frame, if you go to that place, you'll probably be knocked to the ground in about three seconds, lying flat and ready for anything. Don't beg Sister to save you then!"
As if sensing some important information, Lu Yibei narrowed her eyes slightly and teased, "Then if I really go and encounter danger, will you come and save me?" ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
"I..." Ju Meng hesitated for a moment. "Save your ass! To go fight to the death with a fierce one for a small fry like you, is Sister just bored?"
"Tsk! Heartless woman!" Lu Yibei rolled her eyes at Ju Meng, turned around and went upstairs to get her backpack, then hurried back down and ducked into the bathroom.
After locking the bathroom door, Lu Yibei stepped on the toilet, took down three bottles of calamity water from the ceiling interlayer, and carefully stuffed them into her backpack.
After witnessing the power of the calamity water explosion at the South Suburb Slaughterhouse, Lu Yibei always felt that keeping such dangerous things at home was unsafe and they had to be dealt with quickly.
Just as Lu Yibei properly placed the three bottles of calamity water into her backpack, restored the ceiling interlayer, and was about to leave, Ju Meng's voice suddenly sounded from outside the door.
"Hey! Lu Yibei, I've noticed you've been constantly going into the bathroom lately?"
Hearing this, Lu Yibei's heart tightened, and she almost knocked over the backpack full of calamity water in her hand.
"You... is your kidney not very good?"
"Your ♦ kidney isn't good!" Lu Yibei blurted out.
"Gee! Don't be shy! Do you know what my Power is, Sister? It's in charge of the reproduction of all things! It's amazing at treating this kind of problem, do you want to try it?"
"Three-thousand-year-old formula, cures kidney deficiency, sugar-free, effective in three hours, shoots the Sirius!"
"Get lost!"
----
Corner of the apartment.
The urban legend who were eavesdropping on Lu Yibei and Ju Meng's daily bickering fell silent.
Friendly reminder: The Website is about to be revised, which may cause the loss of reading progress. Please save your "book shelf" and "reading record" in time (screenshots are recommended). We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause!
After a long while.
False Tooth said seriously, "Do you think the medicine they are discussing is really that effective?"
"What? Are your kidneys deficient?" Maotuan (Hairball) asked in surprise.
"Don't misunderstand, it's just that my Spiritual Energy has become stronger recently, and I've remembered a lot of memories from before I died. In my memory, I had a friend..."
"Is the friend you mentioned yourself?" Eyeball interrupted.
"Nonsense! I am strong!"
"It's okay, we understand! If you really want that prescription, why don't you work hard and make the Demoness deficient in kidneys?" Maotuan (Hairball) suggested.
"That makes sense! I'll put more high-quality resources on his phone later!"
"Go for it, and give me a share when you get it!" Maotuan (Hairball) said.
After a pause, he added, "Uh, it's not that we have deficient kidneys, it's just that we need a source of funds for the organization's construction recently. Selling kidney deficiency medicine might be a good choice."
...
Thus, the old Hua City brand, the Demoness brand Kidney Treasure production workshop, was initially established without the Demoness's knowledge.
----
Leaving the apartment and walking towards the Huacheng Institute of Technology, Lu Yibei finally had a chance to think quietly.
By analyzing the knowledge of the Great Serpent God, he had successfully obtained the formula for the first time to fix the defect, and also learned about the Ghost Market as a channel for trading Spiritual Energy items through Shui Ge.
If it weren't for the twists and turns of the Monster Story Chat Group entry review, he would have already gone to the Ghost Market to exchange calamity water for materials.
Lu Yibei had already planned to sell the calamity water to Fat Er Ye later and buy some materials from him at the same time.
However, he couldn't buy everything from him. Shui Ge said that he was not a good person, and if he saw clues about the formula from the materials I purchased, it might not be appropriate. Lu Yibei thought.
Ever since he learned about Dawazager from Ju Meng, Lu Yibei, who was not very concerned about fixing the defect, suddenly felt a sense of urgency.
Since Old Dad didn't die accidentally, I must find out the cause of his death. This matter cannot rely entirely on the investigation of the Monster Story Chat Group. I need to make preparations on both fronts.
And wanting to find out the cause of Old Dad's death and clarify what he was escorting to Dawazager is likely the most crucial part.
Ju Meng said that the leader of the urban legend there is very powerful, so wouldn't it be enough if I could defeat her?
Well, as long as I spend a little more time, make a little more preparation, and fix a little more defects, I will definitely succeed!
Walking with his head down, Lu Yibei unconsciously arrived in front of the printing shop at the gate of the Huacheng Institute of Technology, so he stopped thinking, took out the USB flash drive from his pocket, and walked into the printing shop.
"Boss, please help me print a short paper!"
The printing shop boss took the USB flash drive handed over by Lu Yibei and responded, "Okay! Just a moment!"
----
Half an hour later.
Huacheng Institute of Technology, Faculty of Arts Experimental Building, Ancient Special Characters Research Room.
Lu Yibei secretly thought it was bad as he looked at Professor Ma. His mood was like being caught copying homework when he was a child and being punished to stand in the office by the homeroom teacher.
Professor Ma held his short paper and read it for more than ten minutes. During this period, his face was solemn, his brows were furrowed, and he occasionally made strange sounds like "Huh?", "Hmm?", "Hey!".
Afraid.jpg
Lu Yibei hadn't expected the paper that Ju Meng had put together for him to be very reliable, but now, looking at Professor Ma's expression, it was no longer a question of reliability.
He just hoped it wasn't too outrageous.
"Lu Yibei, although your short paper is a bit too colloquial in terms of writing, the flaws do not obscure the virtues. There are several viewpoints in it that start from the history of the East Yi people's worship of the totem god system, and the interpretation angle is very novel and unique, which has been rarely noticed by past scholars."
"Professor, you are overpraising," Lu Yibei said humbly.
How could it not be novel and unique? Was there any past scholar who was a great god of the East Yi god system, a dependent of Miss Ju Meng? Lu Yibei thought.
"Your short paper is very good. Are you interested in publishing this paper?"
"What?"
Lu Yibei tilted his head.
This was outrageous, although it wasn't the same kind of outrageous he had thought of before.
To make Professor Ma, who was particularly strict academically, say words like "very good", it seemed that this short paper was indeed of a high standard.
But...
"What? Unwilling? Are you worried about making a fool of yourself?" Professor Ma frowned slightly and said, "You don't need to worry about this. I can help you revise it."
"At that time, you don't need to add my name as a co-author. After all, this was basically completed independently by you alone. You just need to add my name to the acknowledgment list, hehe!"
Professor Ma said, looking at the short paper in his hands again. It was clear that he liked this short paper very much.
"Professor, isn't this inappropriate? I think I..."
"Then tell me, what are you worried about?" Professor Ma waved his hand and interrupted, "In my opinion, although your short paper is not thoroughly researched and the viewpoints are somewhat superficial, it does provide several valuable research directions and should be shared."
"Or... are you planning to research it yourself?"
Lu Yibei, "..."
That wasn't it; it was just that the thing wasn't something he had created himself, so he felt particularly guilty.
If I really wanted to research, I could stay at home every day, hold Ju Meng down, and research her from top to bottom, inside and out, to my heart's content.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Yibei compromised, "Okay, Professor, let's publish it then!"
As soon as Lu Yibei finished speaking and was about to add a few more words, he saw Professor Ma slam the table with a "bang" and said excitedly, "I've been waiting for you to say that!"
"With the qualification of this paper, you can barely join the group! Then I'll see who dares to gossip!"
"What?"
Professor, you're acting strange!
Many small question marks suddenly popped up in Lu Yibei's mind.
"Isn't it true that Yan Jing University recently initiated a joint research project on East Yi culture? I also want to participate, and you are so talented in this area, so I wanted to take you as my assistant..."
Hearing this, the small question marks in Lu Yibei's mind instantly turned into trembling exclamation points, and he exclaimed, "No, no! Professor, please let me go, okay?"
"Last time I helped you research the bamboo slips, it caused a lot of trouble, and I almost died in the Bamboo Scroll Illusion. This time, please let me rest and go harm others first?"
"How can you call that harm!" Professor Ma said, "Isn't it helping you increase your qualifications? It will also be convenient for postgraduate recommendations in the future."
Lu Yibei, "..."
Postgraduate recommendation? I'm afraid I won't live that long!
"Professor, aren't you afraid of causing more trouble? According to the various materials I collected while writing this short paper, if this attracts any urban legend, it ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) will be much fiercer than the bamboo slips."
Yes! That's right, fierce and cute, sticking around at someone's house and not leaving, eating and drinking all day long, constantly demanding physical examinations, capable of quickly treating kidney deficiency in six hours, and most urban legend can't beat her, are you scared?
"This..." Professor Ma hesitated for a moment, looked at Lu Yibei with a serious expression, and said solemnly, "That's why I want you to be my assistant!"
"..." Lu Yibei was silent for a few seconds, then said expressionlessly, "Professor, tell me honestly, do you want an assistant or a thug?"
"Then I'll be frank too," Professor Ma said seriously, "I want both."
Lu Yibei, "..."
You're already old and still playing this 'want it all' game, can you handle it?
Seeing Lu Yibei's troubled expression, Professor Ma stood up, patted his shoulder, and said, "Don't worry about this. I'm just making a suggestion. If you don't want to, then forget it. I'll find someone else."
"This..." Lu Yibei looked at Professor Ma and nodded, "I'll go back and think about it?"
"Hmm, no hurry!" Professor Ma's face showed joy, "The project will officially start next spring, and there are still more than two months. You just need to give me a reply a week before the project starts."
"Understood, Professor. Then I'll leave now? I still need to go to the library."
"Go ahead! I'll take care of the paper publication!"
Hopefully, it won't cause any trouble... Lu Yibei muttered to himself and gently responded.
"Okay! I'll trouble you, Professor."
