I Am Not A Mage Lord Chapter 9
Advertisement
Even during this summertime, the teenager girl had on a pure white Little Prince face mask and a checkered hoodie with contrasting little puff sleeves. Coupled with the dark eye shadow makeup, she looked both sweet and risque.
In addition, she had on a black strapless dress with a metal sun buckle. Her thighs were encased in a pair of black mesh stockings over which she also had on a pair of black knee-length socks. With her thick-soled boots, she looked like a very striking punk teenage girl.
Looking at the young girl who was walking towards him step by step, Lin Qi was thinking on the inside how she could stand the heat in that get-up. At the same time, he quietly made space for her and shifted inside.
Only when the two of them pushed open the door and entered did he notice that the girl was playing with a Rubik's cube. The colors on each side gradually converged, and she was only half a step away from the final color unification.
Generally speaking, after an ordinary person messed up the Rubik's cube, they would not be able to restore it but would have to buy a new one.
"Hmm?" Lin Qi raised his brows slightly at Mo Feng.
Over the past few days, Mo Feng had been running around to no less than seven or eight cities. This was the first time he had brought a mage apprentice of similar age over. This ignited Lin Qi's curiosity.
Thinking of the complicated politics and rampant nepotism in the mage class, he even suspected that she was Mo Feng's relative.
"You were just diligently breathing the secret energy particles like them just now?" Mo Feng looked at the high school students as he asked curiously, "You didn't offer them any tips as a senior?"
"What are you talking about? This person in front of you is the glorious mage apprentice who just passed the Mysterious Magic Unified College Entrance Examination by a hair's width." Lin Qi grumbled. He had not yet figured out the mystery behind the secret energy particle. At the same time, his eyes were locked on the girl.
"I forgot to introduce you." Mo Feng smiled. "This is also a S-class candidate, Wang Ruoling."
"Done." The girl had just restored the Rubik's Cube in her hand to its original state and handed it back to Mo Feng. "This is not difficult at all. You can change to a more difficult test."
Wang Ruoling looked at Lin Qi with a challenging stare.
However, Lin Qi maintained a calm expression. After staring at each other for over half a minute, right before they were about to reach the threshold of love fireworks, she hesitated. "You don't know me?"

"Why should I know you?" Lin Qi asked.
Could knowledge of Wang Ruoling be exchanged for money?
He had only recovered about 50-60 percent of the memory fragments of the original owner of the body. So he could not cover all aspects.
Mo Feng sounded surprised. "I thought I would be able to shock you. Ruoling is a famous teenage girl idol and has charmed many 18-year-old young boys like you."
It was only then that Lin Qi understood why she was wearing a face mask. He couldn't help smiling. "I'm not young. The combination of an idol and a mage is quite fantastical. It feels like the hand of heaven."
Enchantment spells included the bewitching of hearts, the attacking of souls and the invasion of consciousness. Such spells were deeply feared by people.
Hearing the other party's tone, who sounded like an old wrench having gained her freedom, Wang Ruoling bit her lower lip and said angrily, "Thank you for your praise."
"Let me introduce you. Wang Ruoling is a memory genius like me. She is one of the few people who scored full marks in basic knowledge. Her intelligence test is also a high 350 points."
"This is Lin Qi. He got 250 points for basic knowledge and 400 points for intelligence. He's also an S-class mage apprentice like you."
Sensing that the atmosphere wasn't quite right, Mo Feng hurriedly introduced them to each other. "The main reason I let you two meet is because I hope that you can look out for each other in the future."
Wang Ruoling glanced at Lin Qi. "If he'ss willing to bow down and be my little sister, I don't mind."
Lin Qi grinned. "Since you know how to talk, go ahead and speak more words. Aren't idols part of a profession that sells dreams? But you appear to be selling negative energy."
It could only be said that some people were born to clash.
The girl turned her head away in disdain. "Why do I have to wear a mask when I'm already accepted? And has no one told you the rules? You should show respect toward an apprentice with a higher score."
It was obvious that although the girl's intelligence test score was 50 points lower, her basic knowledge score was double his results. She had already established an advantage in the psychological aspect.
Naturally, Lin Qi was too lazy to argue with a little girl.
There was no need to pay someone false compliments but that was also no reason to insult someone. Besides, so what if he won their verbal argument? It was not like he would receive a kiss as a reward.

He looked at Mo Feng with surprise. He could take care of this with minimal effort. No need to strain a muscle.
Mo Feng was optimistic. "Ruoling, when you get there, you will be grateful for this meeting."
"Him? Can he help me?" Wang Ruoling raised her eyebrows in disbelief.
"Help?"
Lin Qi was also surprised. Looking at the girl's flat, skinny body, he was thinking that he was no excellent craftsman.
Mo Feng gave a mysterious smile. "The answer is in this Rubik's cube."
"On the night of the academy's enrollment, before entering the dormitory for the first time, all of you will have to undergo a test by the seniors. Normally, it would just be answering some difficult questions. This is also a tradition of the academy. Usually, as long as it doesn't go too far, the academy will turn a blind eye to this."
"Including taking liberties with female students?" Lin Qi interrupted. Mo Feng's words sounded unreliable, and Wang Ruoling immediately looked at him angrily.
Mo Feng gave a mischievous smile. "Men and women sleep separately. You won't have the chance."
"After my encouragement last night, the senior's test will be the Rubik's cube. When the time comes, it is for sure that they will use the Rubik's cube to make things difficult for you. So I hope you can use this chance to gain an advantage."
Lin Qi immediately understood.
Just like the selection of the class monitor in university at the start of the school year. It was very likely that the instructor would just choose someone from the class list whom he found pleasing to the eye.
Or perhaps it would just be the first person who volunteered. As long as he knew how to get along well with people, he would be able to continue his role and even use this as a stepping stone to enter the student union and then join the youth league.
This was the importance of taking the initiative.
"But hasn't she already figured it out?" Lin Qi was surprised. She already knew how to solve the Rubik's cube. Why would she still need him?
Mo Feng shook his head. "It's not enough. Restoring the Rubik's cube to its original state is the key to entering the dormitory. That's why I need you to help the others quickly figure it out."
"Mage apprentices with high IQ scores can solve it in half an hour, but there are always those who are unlucky and stupid. What can be more exciting and crowd-pleasing than quickly solving the Rubik's cube on the spot to help them?"
"Once you establish this prestige status in the male and female dormitories, you will have the advantage in the upcoming elections."
Lin Qi finally felt a little moved.
So this was what it felt like to have a big tree to lean on so that you could enjoy the shade. Wasn't Mo Feng just directly revealing the test topic to him?
"What are you guys talking about?" Wang Ruoling was half surprised and half disbelieving.
Mo Feng looked at Lin Qi.
Lin Qi nodded. "Since I've told you, I don't mind you using it."
He added in his heart that it would definitely be even better if he was offered some copyright fees.
Mo Feng smiled and took out a manual made by binding several A4-sized papers together. He placed it in front of the teenage girl.
There were a few large words on the cover—
Rubik's Cube Quick Solutions (CFOP Method), founder: Lin Qi.
Looking at the founder's name, as thick-skinned as Lin Qi was, even he had to blush a little.
Meanwhile, Wang Ruoling was looking at the manual as if she was about to read her mother's diary from many years ago. Incredulously, she looked at the founder's name before slowly opening the manual with trembling fingers.
Soon after, her expression continuously shifted between embarrassment, anger and shock, looking very much like the blue sea and blue sky reflecting upon each other.
In less than a few minutes, this very intelligent girl verified this solution to the Rubik's cube's.
Wang Ruoling immediately stood up and bowed 90 degrees to Lin Qi, ignoring the surprised looks from everyone in the cafe.
"I was too presumptuous just now. I'm sorry."
Lin Qi nodded. She knew when to yield and when not to. She was indeed a born idol.
Nevertheless, he did not add salt to her wound. Instead, he said comfortingly, "Let us work hard together for the faction!"
But when he faced Mo Feng, he was mouthing two entirely words—compensation fee. He had tossed the idea of giving a free gift to the back of his head.
Thinking of his upcoming bounty, Lin Qi suddenly looked somewhat embarrassed.
Actually, he didn't really know how to restore the Rubik's cube?
