Energy Research Institute, Dean's Office.

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

The breeze blowing from the window stirred up her long hair, and her beautiful face and delicate facial features were like an elf from mythology, and her beautiful blinking eyes seemed to have a captivating charm.

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

"Sister, why bother with such boring things? 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 must be given face no matter what. Besides, I am also very interested in Lin Ran. I have learned about the seal flow technique he developed before. It is indeed a

A very gifted human genius.”

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

"I don't have any thoughts in this regard for the time being. The talent Lin Ran is showing now is not enough for me to win over. Besides, our mission has nothing to do with winning over human geniuses. Letting the clansmen come at the best time and taking control of Star City as soon as possible is our goal.

.”

When the silver-haired boy heard this, a thoughtful look appeared on his face, and then his figure suddenly disappeared from where he was.

Turning the pages of the information in her hand, Yin Ling raised her head and glanced at the clock hanging on the wall.

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

…

Star City East District.

Suikong commercial district, 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's arrival.

Through the floor-to-ceiling glass of the restaurant, you can have a panoramic view of the prosperity of Star City.

For this date, Lin Ran changed into a new set of clothes, even her hairstyle was changed, and her appearance was significantly improved.

Coupled with the sunny smile that always hangs on his face, he can make a good impression just by looking at each other.

Looking at Lin Ran sitting opposite, Feng Qi couldn't help but nod.

"That's right, I can fight with my good looks."

"Brother Qi, I can only guarantee that I will try my best during the process. I can't guarantee whether it will be successful or not. After all, across species, I may not be understood by the other party if I use human thinking to lick."

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

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

"Feel free to use it, I believe in your charm!"

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 let's see what you do 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 dressed very casually, but her beautiful face had her own aura and attracted a lot of attention as soon as she entered the restaurant.

Arriving in front of Lin Ran, Yin Ling sat down calmly.

Lin Ran also raised his head at this moment and met Yin Ling's eyes.

As they looked at each other, Yin Ling's appearance was obviously beyond Lin Ran's expectations.

Even though I had seen photos of Yin Ling in advance, it was only when I saw it with my own eyes that I realized that the Yin Ling in the photo was far inferior to the real person.

She has a straight nose, rosy red lips, an aura of purity exuding from her body, and a pair of indifferent light black eyes under her slender eyebrows.

"Lin Ran." Lin Ran smiled and stretched out his hand.

"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 the Scarlet Research Institute's proposal? You don't really want to find a partner, do you? Judging from your age before the disaster, you are not even considered an adult."

Lin Ran, who had rehearsed various problems in his mind in advance, thought briefly and said with a smile:

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

not a problem."

"I also think there is nothing wrong with the Scarlet Research Institute's proposal. I have also known about you in advance and appreciate your talent very much."

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

He originally thought that Yin Ling would find an excuse to refuse, but he didn't expect that Yin Ling actually thought that the Scarlet Institute's proposal was okay.

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

Fortunately, he has a very strong inner quality.

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

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

The half-baked knowledge of taking supplements in advance came into play at this time.

As the topic unfolded, the awkward atmosphere gradually eased, and the two quickly became familiar with each other.

Feng Qi, who was eating a big meal not far away, glanced at it, nodded with satisfaction, and then smiled at the waiter standing next to him:

"One more meal, thank you."

Time passed as Lin Ran and Yin Ling chatted. While eating, Yin Ling took the initiative to chat about the content of cultivation and the magic techniques that Lin Ran was most familiar with.

When chatting about this aspect, Lin Ran suddenly became energetic and began to talk endlessly. 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 cannot be asked by people with a little knowledge.

The first date unfolded in an unexpected way.

The time came to 5:10 pm.

Yin Ling and Lin Ran got up and left the restaurant, then took a taxi and went straight to the Xingguang Lake in the Central District.

As the sky grew dark, the two of them walked by the lake and continued to chat about magic.

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

"Can you play chess?"

"What chess?"

"It can be regarded as a kind of chess invented by myself. The rules are to use the arrangement of spiritual energy particles to combine the corresponding chess pieces to play chess."

After the words fell, Yin Ling reached out and waved his hand, and the aura in the air suddenly gathered into a golden thread.

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

"Try?"

"Okay, but I need detailed game rules." Curious Lin Ran agreed without hesitation.

Next, Yin Ling began to explain the rules of "Ling Che". During this period, he sketched the chess pieces from time to time and used actual combat methods to help Lin Ran understand the detailed rules.

Lin Ran was extremely talented and quickly understood the rules of Lingqi.

Lingqi is essentially a game that uses natural elements as chess pieces. Each round outlines a sequence of natural elements. It involves the intergeneration and mutual restraint of elements, as well as the prediction game in ordinary chess games, which tests the 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 his first contact failed, he felt that he could do better.

After briefly recalling the cause of the error, Lin Ran immediately said:

"Come again."

Yin Ling smiled and nodded, and with a wave of her hand, the elemental chess pieces on the chessboard disappeared.

A new round of chess begins.

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

The third game began immediately. This time Lin Ran persisted for more than 30 minutes and gradually became familiar with the rules of the game.

Starting from the fourth game, Lin Ran has learned how to design elemental traps.

Lin Ran's potential really shocked 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.

The Knot Seal Style is a disruptive innovation for humans, but for the Silver Moon Clan, it is very ordinary. After all, the knowledge accumulated by the Silver Moon Clan is far beyond what a simple Knot Seal Style can compare to.

But this time, Yin Ling was completely shocked.

Lingqi was not her own creation, but an important lesson in the growth process of members of the Silver Moon Clan.

Every member of the Silver Moon Clan will come into contact with Lingqi when they grow up. This is also a way for the Silver Moon Clan to exercise their thinking and control over elements.

The spirit chess can very well detect the elemental affinity of the Silver Moon clansmen and their talents in magic abilities.
