Chapter 608: Another Deal With Bell

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Xiao Lin was basically used to Bell, who would always choose to appear like a ghost, and he had stopped thinking about the complicated question of whether that little girl was an artificial intelligence or an artificial lifeform.

Xiao Lin rolled his eyes. Bell was still the same with her naked and pale feet, her white dress and the adorable neighbourly look on her face. Of course, Xiao Lin would no longer be tricked by it.

He yawned in exhaustion. “You say it so casually, but no one can help me with the evaluations. I can only rely on myself.”

“You’re already really fast.” Bell blinked her virtual eyes, pointing at the pile of books. “Even those in their fourth year might not be able to read all of that.”

“But I still don’t plan on putting all my time into it; this is just a secondary profession for me, so I lack time. “Xiao Lin rubbed his temples. After reading books for the entire day, even he would not be able to resist a headache.

“Then what would you think if I had a way to increase your memory by dozens, or maybe even a hundred times with your current attributes?”

Xiao Lin paused for over twenty seconds before carefully asking, “Do you really have a way? My pace is already fast to an unbelievable degree.”

Bell pointed, saying indignantly, “Your speed is only fast for those people from Earth. The best mages on Planet Norma have unbelievable knowledge and spells. Do you think they spend all their time reading?”

“Is there a spell to increase my memory?” Xiao Lin’s eyes lit up.

“There is, but those spells aren’t all that useful. It won’t give you that large of an increase. I have a better way.” Bell’s tone was mysterious and alluring.

“Really? Will there be side effects?”

Bell angrily said, “I don’t think you trust me that much. Don’t forget who I am. In this academy, there’s no secret I don’t know!”

‘As if I would believe in you!’

Xiao Lin cursed in his mind, but he said, “Fine, fine, I believe you, of course. Let’s discuss the reward.”

The two of them stared at each other before Xiao Lin said in exasperation, “What do you want from me this time? Don’t tell me you’re doing it for free. I don’t believe you’re Mother Teresa.”

“Who’s Mother Teresa?”

Xiao Lin did not know how to respond.

“Find, let’s skip that question. Just tell me what you want!”

“It’s still the same thing. I need your eye! I need that eye of yours!” Bell’s expression was a little strange.

Xiao Lin jumped before he answered, “You want me to help you use TIme Rewind? Why did you say it so scarily. I thought you wanted to dig my eye out.”

“So you agree?” Xiao Lin’s relaxed tone caused Bell to let out a sigh of relief.

“Oh, that’s impossible.” Xiao Lin had a joking expression.

Bell glared at him as she said angrily, “Then just slowly memorize your books here! Don’t think your speed is that good. Let me remind you, Medicinal Studies gets harder as you progress, especially with those herbs that only exist in legends; the difficulty is astounding!”

Bell was about to push open the door and leave, and Xiao Lin rolled his eyes, not stopping her. The girl kept on appearing and disappearing. Xiao Lin had never seen her walk through the door ever since he had gotten to know her.

Bell stopped right at the door, perking her ears up, obviously waiting for Xiao Lin to stop her. Xiao Lin was amused. No matter how powerful Bell was, she still acted like a little girl. He sighed, wiping the smile off his face before earnestly saying, “You at least need to tell me when you want to go back to. I also need to remind you, no matter what, I won’t help you change history.”

Xiao Lin’s tone was stern. Fine, it was possible he had watched too many science fiction movies and novels about machines rebelling or intelligent machines taking over the world. The girl in front of him had a similar existence. Xiao Lin did not want to start some future where machines took over humans.

Bell pouted, saying, “Don’t worry, I won’t ask you to change history. I know more than you about the butterfly effect. I just…”

“Just what?” Xiao Lin could not hear what she said later, so he pressed on.

“I just want to know how I was born.” Bell’s tone suddenly turned very soft. She walked back and sat on the bed, mumbling, “I said that there was nothing I did not know in the academy, but that’s not true. There’s something I’ve never known, which is my birth. I really want to know how I was born, or whether I have parents. Maybe I really am just an artificial program. I’ve looked at countless pieces of information, but it seems that the people who founded the academy anticipated that, and left no information about it.”

Bell raised her head, looking at Xiao Lin as she asked, “If you don’t even know who your parents are, would you try to investigate it?”

Xiao Lin was speechless. Looking at that pretty girl sitting there, even if he knew Bell did not have a physical body and that she was only forcing herself to look like she was sitting, even if he did not know how sincere Bell’s words were, Xiao Lin had still been convinced.

After a long silence, he slowly nodded. “If we’re just observing history, then it’s fine, I agree. As long as we don’t change history, everything is good.”

Probably because of the heavy atmosphere, Xiao Lin half-jokingly said, “So do we pay up first or give the goods first? Or do we do it at the same time?”

Xiao Lin was referring to their deal. Both him and Bell did not want to be on the losing end of any deal, and they were obviously worried about being tricked.

However, Bell was generous this time. She waved her white little hand, saying, “I’ll tell you how to speed up your memory first.”

“You believe me now?” Xiao Lin smiled.

“Yes, I’ve been observing you, and you seem quite trustworthy.”

“Hold on. You’ve been observing me every night?!” Xiao Lin almost jumped up.

“Idiot! I’m not some pedophilic pervert like you. I’m not interested in watching a dumb man like you!”
