Chapter 65 First Time Participating in Group Activities
The extraction process is lengthy and tedious, requiring the continuous maintenance of precise temperatures, which is why moonshoe moss extract has always been expensive.
Because Li Ang can directly control the temperature of the magic furnace, his success rate and the quality of his crafting are much higher than those of ordinary apprentice wizards.
Time passed quietly, and as the liquid in the crucible gradually turned a soft and pure moon-white color, Li Ang knew that the extraction was nearing completion.
He carefully poured the extract into a specially made light-proof crystal bottle and sealed it. He looked at the liquid in the bottle, which shimmered like moonlight, and was very satisfied.
This small bottle is worth several gold coins, but he doesn't plan to exchange it for money. Instead, he plans to find an opportunity to exchange it for contribution points later.
Just as he was tidying up his workbench and preparing to take on the next commission, the workshop door was gently pushed open, and Ginny appeared in the doorway.
"Mr. Leon," Ginny said respectfully from the doorway, "Professor Eve requests your presence now."
Li Ang was somewhat surprised. His mentor Eve rarely contacted him during the day, and there shouldn't be anything she needed to care about recently, right?
Suppressing his doubts, he nodded: "Okay, Miss Ginny, I'll be right there."
I arrived at my mentor Eve's living room with practiced ease. Eve was still sitting on the velvet sofa, seemingly deep in thought.
"Mentor," Li Ang bowed respectfully.
"Sit down," Eve gestured to the sofa next to her.
After Li Ang sat down, she got straight to the point:
"Deacon Seronster from the enforcement team came to see me just now."
Li Ang's heart stirred, and he vaguely guessed what it was.
Eve continued:
"The team sent to investigate Whispering Woods has returned. They confirmed that the stone golem you and Maxwell encountered was indeed a Level 2 magical beast that shouldn't be in that area, and some of its structures showed signs of abnormal enhancement, suggesting human intervention. The enforcement team believes that there may be more to the recent strange monster incidents than meets the eye."
Her gaze fell on Li Ang, her tone calm yet carrying a subtle hint of scrutiny:
"Deacon Celons took note of your performance during that encounter. Combined with your performance on the ship, your combat prowess and adaptability are extremely rare, even among the Elementalists."
"Therefore, he asked me if I could join the law enforcement team."
Li Ang listened quietly, his heart pounding slightly. The enforcement team? This was a path he had never considered.
Eve looked at him, her voice still cold:
"The benefits of joining the enforcement team are obvious. Missions are rewarded with generous amounts of silver coins, and more importantly, each successful mission grants a considerable amount of sect contribution points. This is the fastest way for any wizard eager to acquire resources and improve themselves."
She changed the subject, her tone becoming more serious:
"But the drawbacks are equally obvious. The enforcement teams often face the most dangerous events inside and outside the tower, confronting out-of-control magical experiments, dangerous monsters, and even... possibly treacherous wizards. The casualty rate has always been the highest among the three schools."
"As your mentor, I will not make decisions for you."
Eve concluded, "Whether you accept the invitation or not is up to you to weigh the pros and cons. I will relay your message to Deacon Celons."
Li Ang's heart skipped a beat: contribution points! What he needed most right now was a massive amount of contribution points. Repairing the floating core required 15,000 contribution points, and if he were to earn them step by step, he didn't know how long it would take.
Although the enforcement team's mission is dangerous, it is undoubtedly the fastest way to obtain a large number of contribution points. It's like a godsend. For that future aerial fortress, this risk is worth taking.
He raised his head, his gaze fixed firmly on Eve:
"Mentor, I've made up my mind. I'm willing to join the law enforcement team."
Eve didn't seem too surprised by Leon's answer, but a complex emotion flashed in her eyes, a mixture of admiration and a faint worry.
She nodded slightly. "Okay. Since you've made your decision, I'll inform Celeste. Someone from the enforcement team will contact you later to discuss the specifics."
"Thank you, mentor." Li Ang stood up and bowed.
"Go ahead, be careful." Eve's voice remained calm, but her words of advice seemed to carry a touch more warmth than usual.
Leon was deeply troubled after leaving Eve's residence.
Law enforcement team, contribution points, floating core... all sorts of thoughts surged in my mind.
He returned to his dormitory, activated [Gentle Breeze Barrier Lv2], and entered a meditative state while the effects of the potion were still present.
Since you've chosen to join the enforcement team, having strong personal abilities becomes the primary goal, and it would be best to have four stars when you join.
The next day, after the class on the fifth floor ended, Sandra Meya immediately jumped over.
"Li Angqing, don't forget today is our research group's first activity." Her bright green eyes sparkled with excitement. "Harris and I have prepared the materials. Let's go to my room."
Li Ang, somewhat puzzled, subconsciously asked, "Your room?"
Harris then walked over, adjusted her glasses, and said with a hint of helplessness, "It's all because Maxwell was making noise in the library, which led to us being banned from conducting activities there."
Sandra Meyer stared at Harris in shock, as if she had heard something unbelievable.
"Harris? Wasn't that a joint punishment for both of us? Didn't you complain?"
Harris paused for a moment. "Okay, I do bear some responsibility, but Maxwell is 90% responsible."
Sandra Meyer's face flushed red as she retorted, "At most 80%... no, 70%!"
Seeing that the two were still arguing, Li Ang quickly stepped in to smooth things over: "Alright, alright, ladies, let's go. It'll be dark soon if we keep arguing."
With Li Ang's intervention, the two finally stopped arguing, and the three began to move towards their destination.
Sandra Meyer's room is located on the other side of the fourth floor, in section A, in the opposite direction from section B where Leon and Lottie are located.
She used her key to open a heavy oak door and went inside first.
Li Ang and Harris followed them inside, and the scene before them made Li Ang slightly taken aback.
The room was extremely spacious, almost four times the size of his single dormitory room, but it was more like a miniature armory and armor museum than a young girl's boudoir.
The walls were neatly arranged with all sorts of warhammers, shields, and axes. Sets of gleaming full-body armor, chainmail, and plate armor were supported by brackets and stood in various corners of the room. A faint scent of maintenance oil permeated the air.
Only at the far end of the room, on the large bed covered with thick animal hides, lay a somewhat old but very clean plush rabbit doll, adding a touch of girlish charm to the room.
