Chapter 119: Can I Cheat, Please?

When facing problems, you shouldn’t panic; there will surely be a way to solve them.

The words "handsome guy desert" made Lin Lin’s head buzz with pain, and soon she realized.

There is no way! Absolutely no way!

A city without handsome guys is simply a city without handsome guys!

Even if they dress in stylish outfits, wear hats and masks, showing only their eyes, creating a handsome atmosphere, by summer, the many handsome guys from winter will truly disappear like melting snow.

How could this be! Why is this happening!

Lin Lin faced an unprecedented mental blow, one even heavier and more real than when she first arrived in this world.

Isn’t this a fantasy world? Since it has fantasy elements, shouldn’t it also have plenty of handsome guys? What’s the difference between no handsome guys and real life?

Completely forgetting that the "fantasy" in fantasy world should be about mythical creatures, Lin Lin stood there dazed for a long time.

It wasn’t until the girl in front of her waved her hand for a long time that she came back to her senses.

"Although I know you will be disappointed, I didn’t expect it to be to this extent," Ms. Recorder pushed up her thick glasses. "Do you need some tissues to have a good cry?"

"No need," Lin Lin clearly looked tired and spoke weakly. "Have you asked all your questions? I will answer them all."

Recorder chuckled, "We are not that suspicious of people! Have you ever harmed a humanoid species?"

"No," Lin Lin said without thinking. "You say you are not suspicious, but you ask a really terrible question."

Very good, Felix seems to have nothing to do with this city at all.

After asking Lin Lin a few questions, Recorder smiled as she closed the file and stood up.

Lin Lin found herself standing up too.

Recorder said, "Please follow me."

Lin Lin followed her, watching Recorder push open another wooden door in her office, which led to a room with thirty seats… an examination room?

At this moment, only Moon Elf was in the examination room, answering questions.

Royvald looked up, and Lin Lin felt that his green eyes lacked life, as they were filled with confusion. He seemed to wonder, "Why am I here?"

It seemed that his answering process was not going well.

"Please sit there," the Recorder handed a test paper to Lin Lin and pointed to a position further away from Moon Elf. "After you finish answering, come and hand it to me. Please take at least an hour to answer and do not leave your seat casually."

Suddenly, Lin Lin understood why David had shown them a look of sympathy back then.

"Can I cheat?" Royvald looked up and asked a bold question in front of the examiner.

Lin Lin was unsure if this was related to the Recorder’s special ability to "maintain honesty."

"Of course not," the Recorder answered with a smile, seeming completely unaffected by Moon Elf’s otherworldly beauty.

Seeing the Recorder treat the famously handsome Royvald so calmly made Lin Lin begin to doubt the truth of her claim that "San Marco City has no handsome men."

The Moon Elf’s gaze returned to her exam paper.

For some unknown reason, Lin Lin let out a sigh of relief.

She had spent too much time with the group at the Demon King Castle, and even when Royvald frowned slightly, Lin Lin felt a bit worried that he might attack humans.

The door was closed by the Recorder, and Lin Lin heard her footsteps fading away.

The room was very soundproof, and soon she would not hear any noise from the other room.

Lin Lin walked to the seat that the Recorder had just pointed out and sat down.

Lin Lin began to look at the questions.

Hmm… At first, Lin Lin worried it might be a quiz on knowledge, but thinking carefully, if it were that type of question, Royvald wouldn’t be troubled.

The first question on the exam:

"When you meet a lonely stranger child at night, you should ():

A. They are a bad person; defeat them!

B. How sad; take them to a nearby Paladin.

C. What a hassle; stay away from them.

D. That’s great! Sell them."

Although Lin Lin immediately recognized the correct answer, for some reason, she automatically matched the options with the corresponding people from Demon King Castle in her mind.

Lin Lin had to admit that San Marco City was indeed very cautious; it was a scary selection strategy.

Lin Lin looked up and met the expression of the Moon Elf looking over.

Royvald and Lin Lin locked eyes for two seconds; he seemed to struggle for a moment but ultimately did not express his wish to copy the answer. The Moon Elf slightly lowered his head, revealing a delicate sense of vulnerability.

There is no need to show such an expression just because of this moral dilemma; you, who will definitely choose C.

It was Lin Lin’s first time answering questions so smoothly. The pen provided by the Recorder was not the special edition she had, but a simple ordinary black pen, and Lin Lin answered quickly.

When she finished answering the first page and started flipping through the test, the Moon Elf in front turned around, surprised by her speed.

Lin Lin subtly enjoyed the treatment of being a top student during school.

Even though the test was thick, knowing the answers meant it didn’t take up too much of Lin Lin’s time; only the short answer questions took a little longer.

To make her score perfect, Lin Lin remembered that this city was blessed by the God of Light, and she rare praised the God of Light.

While she was trying to flatter the paper, the door opened again, and Caligo entered the room holding his test.

The Recorder pointed to a spot farther away, "You can sit there."

Compared to Lin Lin, the more obedient Dark Mage sat at his desk and began answering questions.

Lin Lin continued answering the short questions, and before she could finish her current answer, she heard Caligo next to her turning the page of his test.

Lin Lin: …

Now it was her turn to feel annoyed at others for answering too quickly.

By the time Lin Lin finished the second big question, Caligo had already turned to the fifth page.

Lin Lin turned her head and said firmly for the first time, "Please keep the page-turning quiet!"

Caligo, who was turning the page, paused a bit, looking nervous, "Okay."

–

At sunset, Recorder entered the classroom with three documents and the white dove badge.

"I’m very sorry to have kept you waiting. Although some of the tests have minor flaws, all three of your records have been approved. As a welcome gift from San Marco City, I present you with the white dove badge. May good luck always be with you."

Looking at the smiling Recorder, Lin Lin asked, "What score did Royvald get?"

Recorder, "I’m sorry, but that is personal information."

Lin Lin, "What score did I get?"

Recorder, "You got 92."

Lin Lin, "What score did Caligo get?"

Recorder, "He got 98."

Lin Lin, "What score did Royvald get?"

Recorder, "I’m very sorry, but that is personal information."

Only the Moon Elf’s test score is private.

Before Lin Lin could speak again, Recorder smiled and interrupted her, "Please don’t say anything hurtful."

"I didn’t mean to mock Royvald," Lin Lin pointed at the notebook in Recorder’s hand, "This notebook is also from around Demon King Castle, and the pen you are using is too."

The Moon Elf tilted its head slightly when its name was mentioned suddenly.

"Hahaha," Recorder quietly turned the cover of the notebook, pressing it against their chest, "What are you talking about? As a public official of San Marco City, how could I possibly use things from Demon King Castle?"

Lin Lin thought: …It seems it’s best not to show my fondness for Demon King Castle in San Marco City.

The three of them left the office building with Lin Lin holding the address Norman had left for them.

Lin Lin looked at Royvald, "Are you coming with us?"

After figuring out the special relationship between Lin Lin and the Dark Elf, Royvald showed a very conflicted expression toward Lin Lin.

He felt that Lin Lin was beyond help and also thought that she was likely under the Dark Elf’s influence.

Royvald did not know how to approach Lin Lin, but the girl before him seemed very relaxed. She had completely forgotten their past conflicts and was seriously asking about his plans.

"Yes," Royvald answered her honestly, "I need Norman’s recommendation to find the Holy Maiden in the sanctuary."

Lin Lin decisively concluded, "Then let’s go together."

The people in San Marco City, though not as crowded as those in port cities, were clearly numerous.

Lin Lin saw a black-haired woman among the crowd who looked similar to her; she must be one of the so-called "witches."

The witches appeared calm and at ease, not hiding in less crowded areas like they did in other cities.

It was better than he had imagined; Norman’s worry about not finding the address seemed a bit unnecessary. Anyone randomly asked on the street could tell them the location of the Paladin group.

Compared to the address of the Paladin group, Lin Lin was more concerned about one thing… there were many blond people in the crowd, mostly young men.

Strangely, their hairstyles looked similar to Norman’s.

The Holy Knight Commander has naturally fluffy and smooth hair, with very bright short golden hair, but the men’s hair looks well-kept, and some even have hair that is a bit too soft and flat, so they have used a noticeable hair spray to make it fluffy.

Then, Lin Lin noticed that there were quite a few young people with silver hair.

Is it really possible for someone so young to have such perfect silver hair? Lin Lin turned to look at the Moon Elf beside her, and then looked back at the hair of those people.

They looked about seven or eight similar!

In fact, more people looked at Royvald while walking on the street than looked at her.

Royvald’s gaze met that of a lady, and the Moon Elf reached out to touch his lute.

Lin Lin quickly stopped him, deftly pressing down on his hand, "If you try to steal here, the Paladin will catch you."

The Moon Elf withdrew his hand, "I was just collecting the normal fee for playing music."

Lin Lin remembered the days when she stopped the Dark Elf from stealing.

Lin Lin replied casually, "I know, I know."

She had dealt with Felix in the same way before.
