"And the current problem is that the holy relics take priority."
If someone of the God Slayer's level intervened in the Holy Grail War, unlike ordinary magicians, the magic power in their bodies could replenish the magic power needed for Servants to release their Noble Phantasms without the use of Command Seals. However, Ling Wuji is only at the Jindan level now. If he wanted to participate in the Holy Grail War, he definitely did not want to find a god-level Servant. Maintaining that kind of combat power would be purely asking for trouble for him.
"If possible, it would be Zhuang Zhou himself..."
Although Ling Wu Ji knew clearly that the possibility of that person becoming a heroic spirit was too low.
It is said that if a human wants to become a Heroic Spirit and leave a record on the "Throne", they must first die before they can reach the Throne of Heroes. However, because the Throne of Heroes is on the outside of the world, it itself has no concept of time. But in order for the Throne of Heroes to be established, in a sense, the Heroic Spirit himself must accept his own death in the future or in some parallel time and space. Although there are no historical records of Zhuang Zhou himself, who knows whether the person who "suppresses the heavens and the people with the Tao, and governs all things with the law" is really gone? Even by extension, some figures in the history of the mysterious side of China cannot clearly say what kind of existence he is.
But these things are still too far away for him.
So there is no need to rush to give an answer.
……
To the outside world - to put it simply, the people on the official history compilation committee - the conflict and confrontation between Vauban, Kusanagi Godou and Ling Wuzhi had consequences on the mysterious side no less than an asteroid hitting the earth.
Although Ling Wuji intended to block the news, among the people present, Wanli Ya Yuri was a member of the Official History Compilation Committee. He couldn't possibly stop people from speaking because their mouths were on theirs. He originally thought that the people on the Official History Compilation Committee would spread the news that the God Slayer was going to participate in the Holy Grail War in order to prevent those who gathered together from being the source of the disaster that could even destroy the whole of Europe.
However, the official history compilation committee was the most strictly guarded against information.
On the contrary, Erica Blountrey, who followed Kusanagi Godou, secretly passed the news back to her family because the official history compilation committee claimed that they could not provide any help to Kusanagi Godou with the holy relics. The organization his family belonged to, the Red Copper Black Cross, obviously had its own selfish motives. Apart from secretly helping her collect the holy relics and conveying the news to the Sword King Salvatore Tony, they did not do anything extra.
As for Liliana Crannicar, she did not follow Vauban back to Europe, but stayed in Japan.
Although Ling Wuji didn't care about her thoughts at all.
He just walked aimlessly back and forth between school and his residence every day, and his mind was not entirely focused on the Holy Grail War which would most likely be postponed for a long time. Although his worry was that he could not find true heroes from the history of China's mysterious side, if he had to choose gods - heroes had to die before they could take the throne, but there was no such restriction when summoning gods. It was better to say that the Age of Gods was still continuing on the inner side of the world. Of course, the corresponding problem was the supply of magic.
But he didn't want to worry too much about the mysterious side of things.
He was only slightly troubled for a few days, and then just continued his sloppy, boring, unrestrained and leisurely school life.
In fact, strictly speaking, Ling Wuji no longer needs to go to school.
According to Shizuka Hiratsuka, school is a place to train students to adapt to society. But even if Ling Wuji is a person who has no social common sense at all, he can transform the society according to his own intentions. He does not need to adapt to society at all. This sentence should be said the other way around, that is, he should let the society adapt to him.
However, Ling Wu Ji didn't really hate school life.
Although he is essentially an introvert.
But he must give himself an interface to connect with the outside world or even the secular side. Otherwise, if he is always immersed in his own world or the mysterious world, he will not be able to see what the real world is like.
Although no matter how you look at it, the world in the ivory tower cannot be said to be very real.
However, perhaps because he spent most of his time in an ivory tower in his previous life, he had a certain nostalgia for campus life. He even wondered whether he should continue to hide in the ivory tower in the name of academic research in the future on the secular side.
"So, your ideal job in the future is to work in an academic field?"
That day, Shizuka Hiratsuka went to the club which had not yet decided on a name and started communicating with him.
Ling Wuji just touched his face and said, "Actually, my ideal job is to be a gigolo kept by a rich woman."
Volume 3: Between God and Man: Chapter 24: List
If Hikigaya Hachiman said that he wanted to be a gigolo, Hiratsuka Shizuka wouldn't care much, after all, the appearance of the dead fish eyes himself didn't reach that level. But if Ling Wuji said it, it couldn't be taken lightly:
After all, this guy could really be a gigolo!
"Those gigolos are the scariest bastards, right? They'll pretend to marry you, suddenly occupy your house, and even make their own keys. Then they'll move all your belongings in. Once we break up, they'll even move my furniture away. They're just terrible people!"
"I didn't expect that you had such a tragic experience. I actually always thought that you were an older single woman who has never been in a relationship," Ling Wuji shook his head. "It seems that I made a mistake of preconceived notions..."
“That…that was the experience of a friend of mine.”
Hiratsuka Shizuka could only speak dryly.
Everyone present, whether it was Hikigaya Hachiman or Yukinoshita Yukino, was thinking in their hearts, there is no one else here, you don’t have to hide it, is that friend you are talking about yourself?
But Ling Wuji said, "Oh? So teacher, are you admitting that you are the kind of older single young woman who has never been in a relationship?"
"You stinky bastard!"
Hiratsuka Shizuka finally couldn't help it and punched Ling Wuji hard, but the young man caught it nonchalantly.
"Teacher, if you use this kind of power on normal students, it might cause a teaching accident, right?"
"Of course I won't go all out against ordinary students."
Hiratsuka Shizuka pulled back her fist, then looked at Ling Wuji again and said earnestly, "For someone as outstanding as you, Ling classmate, to be a gigolo, isn't that a waste of your talent?"
"I feel like I have too much talent to use, so it doesn't matter if I waste it," Ling Wuji said casually, "But I won't become the gigolo you're talking about, teacher. After all, a gigolo who moves other people's furniture is really too low-class."
"Hey! Senior gigolo doesn't sound like a good thing, does it?"
"Then the senior psychologist who brings happiness to the rich woman?"
"Although I don't mean to hit you," Yukinoshita Yukino, who was sitting on the other side, couldn't stand it any longer. She closed the book in her hand with a bang and said coldly, "Mr. Ling, most of the rich women you mentioned are either women who rely on the property left by their husbands. The cause of death of those women's husbands may not be so coincidental, or they are middle-aged women who had no one to pursue them when they were young and could only struggle in their careers. If you want to be a rich woman's gigolo, you have to face that kind of women."
"Thank you for your concern?"
"Why a question?"
Shizuka Hiratsuka patted the table and said.
"Because as far as I know, there are quite a few young ladies who can completely inherit their family's assets."
Ling Wuji just touched his chin and spoke.
"Although I don't know who you are targeting," Yukinoshita's tone suddenly turned cold, "but Japanese society is different from Chinese society. If you only have a daughter, Chinese people will unconditionally give her the property as an inheritance, but Japanese society has a term called 'son-in-law adopted sons'. Those big families will use their daughters as tools for marriage, selecting sons-in-law whose abilities and ideas match their own ideas, and then let the sons-in-law change their surnames. So if you want to target the only daughters of the directors of those big groups, you'd better give up on this idea."
"How do you know that my abilities and ideas don't match their philosophy?"
Ling Wuji asked back.
"Just the fact that you just want to be a gigolo and don't want to work shows it!" Hiratsuka Shizuka said, "They want a son-in-law who can devote himself to the family and the consortium, not a gigolo like you who only wants to rely on the woman to support himself!"
She also joined the conversation at the right time.
"is it?"
Ling Wu Ji still looked thoughtful.
"Just in case, let me ask you something," Shizuka Hiratsuka suddenly glanced at Yukinoshita Yukino and said, "Mr. Ling, you didn't actually have a target in mind a long time ago, did you? Or, did you actually realize that she was that kind of person a long time ago?"
"That's it."
Then, Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly hugged her chest with her hands and cast a cold, knife-like look at Ling Wuji.
As soon as Ling Wuji saw her like that, he knew exactly what she was thinking, so he could only roll his eyes secretly and said, "Sorry, I'm not interested in tablets!"
Yukinoshita Yukino was stunned, and then the coldness in her eyes became even more intense. If eyes could kill, he would have died dozens of times already.
Hiratsuka Shizuka was still hesitant and said, "Are you targeting Haruno?"
"What is Yangno?"
"No, it's nothing."
Shizuka Hiratsuka suddenly felt as if a huge stone had been lifted from her chest, and then she continued, "Well, Ling, would you mind telling me about the young lady you like? I see that people like you seem to receive a lot of love letters, but you seem to have rejected all the confessions, so that young lady must be exceptional, right?"
"What do you mean by that young lady? I treat all the young ladies who can support me equally!" Ling Wuji thought for a moment and added corresponding restrictions to his imprecise words, "Of course, it has to conform to my aesthetic standards."
"Your confession is a little too bold..."
Hiratsuka Shizuka pressed her forehead, having a headache for a moment. It was obvious that she didn't know how to teach such a problem student. But she was silent for a moment, and then said: "But you must know a young lady like that, right?"
"Why do you ask?"
"If I knew her, I wouldn't let her be taken advantage of by a brat like you!"
Hiratsuka Shizuka immediately confessed her thoughts.
Ling Wuji thought for a moment and said, "So, do you know the eldest daughter of the Qianshang family?"
"Which Asagami family is this?" Shizuka Hiratsuka was stunned.
Instead, Yukinoshita suddenly sneered:
"I heard that the head of the Asagami family doesn't seem to have a good relationship with his stepdaughter, right? If it's the Asagami family, it may not be what you want!"
"What about the Fufuin family?"
Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking at all, Hiratsuka Shizuka immediately asked, "Do you really know the eldest daughter of the Koubuin Foundation?"
Not only did they know each other, they also slept together.
Ling Wuji looked disdainful.
At this time, Hiratsuka Shizuka thought that the boy must be talking nonsense or daydreaming, so she wanted to get a list of the people in his daydreams so that she could use it to make fun of him in the future and say, "Go on, do you only have these two goals when you aspire to be a gigolo?"
Volume 3: Between God and Man: Chapter 25: Campus Youth
When Ling Wuzhi heard Hiratsuka Shizuka's question, he thought about it again. Yuuki Asuna is indeed an eldest lady, but she has a brother, and it is not her turn to inherit everything in the Yuuki family. He actually knows quite a few eldest ladies, at least Ryougi Shiki is one of them, but he can't say that he is familiar with the girl who wears kimono every day, although they can talk to each other. As for other eldest ladies, maybe those in the IS Academy can be considered?
So Ling Wuji casually told the families of several only daughters among his believers.
As a result, Shizuka Hiratsuka became more and more amused as she listened, and obviously thought that Ling Wuji was talking nonsense. After all, her family background was obviously about the same level as the Yukinoshita family. The level of the Kuboin family was too high, but the people Ling Wuji mentioned were similar to her family, and she could make some connections with them. She wanted to ask those families afterwards whether they knew him.
Ling Wuji obviously didn't care much about such a trivial matter.
But later, Shizuka Hiratsuka really went to contact the eldest daughters of the families mentioned by Ling Wu Ji, and found that each of those people seemed to have joined some kind of cult organization. Although they were not willing to die for Ling Wu Ji, it was obvious that those people's attitude towards this young man was strange from beginning to end, as if it was a great honor to have their names remembered by the young man.
Hiratsuka Shizuka could only be stunned.
But she suddenly discovered that the daughters of these families had one thing in common:
They all study in IS College.
For a moment, she didn't know whether she should complain about the closed management of IS College, or what Ling Wuji had done to make the students under closed management feel proud to be remembered by him.
“We had some cooperation with IS College before.”
Ling Wu Ji just said.
His confusing way of speaking obviously made Shizuka Hiratsuka even more curious, but Ling Wuzhi quickly evaded the question with excuses like he had signed a confidentiality agreement and questioned whether she was trying to find out Japan's military secrets. Although Shizuka Hiratsuka couldn't get anything out of her, when she heard that the boy could actually cooperate with the IS Academy instead of communicating at this age, and thought about his eccentric style in school and his way of speaking that seemed to make people angry to death from time to time, she thought to herself that there was a reason why this man could live to this day.
As soon as Ling Wuji saw the look in Hiratsuka Shizuka's eyes, he said, "Although I'm not sure what you're thinking, teacher, if you have anything bad to say, you can just say it to my face."
"You mean you won't bear grudges?"
"Teacher, do you think I am that kind of person?" Ling Wuji rolled his eyes.
"Like, but you're the kind of person who takes revenge on the spot."
"Teacher, do you think I am such an arrogant person?"
Shizuka Hiratsuka immediately looked at him in surprise: If you are not arrogant, then no one in the entire school can be said to be arrogant!
