His main objective is to find the Fools' Enforcer, the Doctor, and then kill him!
Putting aside the fact that Lu Lin himself didn't like this mad scientist, the "Doctor" was also on the system's wanted list.
A random quest was triggered as soon as Lu Lin entered the Sumeru Land.
[Ding! Random mission triggered: Kill the Doctor]
[Mission Objective: Locate Dr. Dottore, the Executor of the Fatui, remove all his fragments, and completely eliminate him.]
[Task Rewards: 10 million Mora, 10,000 points, 10,000 experience points, one randomly assigned affix, and one use of the "Creation from Nothing" affix.]
Such a generous reward also means that the [Doctor] will not be easy to kill.
The fact that the Doctor himself is very strong is one reason, but the more important reason is that he is too strange and difficult to deal with.
This madman cuts himself into pieces from different periods of his life. To kill him completely, you have to find all of his pieces, without missing a single one.
For Lu Lin, defeating the PhD student wasn't difficult; the real challenge was finding those tissue samples.
Of course, none of this can be said for the time being. We haven't even found where the doctor is yet, let alone his other slices.
He sought out Tinari primarily to inquire whether the Great Sage of the Council of Churches had invited him to participate in the research of the God-Making Project, in order to determine the extent of his impact.
According to the timeline that Lu Lin knew, the Doctor obtained Thor's Heart from the Scatter Soldier, which is why he started the god-making plan.
But because of Lu Lin's appearance, [Scattered Soldiers] were reduced to ashes in Inazuma, and Thor's God Heart was directly sent to the Winter Ice Queen by Rosalin. Without research materials, can this god-making plan still be launched?
Lu Lin thought it was unlikely to be activated, but Tinari's answer greatly surprised him. The Great Sage of the Church had indeed invited him to participate in a mysterious research project a few days ago, but Tinari refused.
Even without the Heart of Thor, will they continue their god-making project?
Therefore, there is only one God's Heart they can possibly obtain—the Grass God's Heart!
Could it be that the Heart of the Grass God has already been obtained by the Doctor?
No, no, although Little Lucky Grass King is currently weak and yielding, it doesn't mean she will be easily manipulated. Her power is not to be underestimated, and she won't be defeated by the Doctor so quickly.
If I remember correctly, the Heart of the Grass God is currently used to maintain the Void Terminal, and it's not something that can be easily taken away.
This so-called research plan is probably just in the preliminary stages.
After exchanging ideas with Tina, Lu Lin gained a lot of useful information.
Although he has a forward-looking perspective and knows roughly what will happen in the future, the butterfly effect caused by his arrival is already very large. The things he knows may not necessarily happen, so it is very necessary to gather more intelligence.
After talking with Tinari, Cole got up.
After everyone had breakfast together, Ke Lai mysteriously pulled Lu Lin aside.
"What's wrong?" Lu Lin looked at the cute green-haired girl with a puzzled expression.
“Mr. Lu Lin…” Ke Lai stared into Lu Lin’s eyes, and couldn’t help but recall the shocking scene she had witnessed last night, which made her feel a little flustered.
She pursed her lips and continued, "Did you cure my Demon Scale Disease?"
"Don't be so polite. I'm not much older than you. Just call me Brother Lu Lin." Lu Lin smiled warmly.
Cole's face flushed red instantly. Last night, when his three older sisters were in high spirits and had forgotten themselves, they had called him "brother" quite a few times, and Cole had heard it all clearly.
Seeing her flushed face, Lu Lin couldn't help but chuckle to himself; he had said that on purpose.
"Brother Lu Lin, um, did you heal me?"
"Well, it was just a side job. I also cleaned out the demonic remnants in your body and took the opportunity to improve your health."
However, this treatment only addresses the symptoms, not the root cause of the disease. You still need to strengthen your physical exercise. As for treating the root cause, I already know how to do it, and it won't be long before it's completely cured.
"Huh? Does Brother Lu Lin mean I can still recover?" Ke Lai's eyes widened in surprise.
It has long been common knowledge that the Demon Scale Disease can only be relieved and suppressed, not cured. Even though she discovered yesterday that she had been cured, she only thought that it was temporarily suppressed.
Therefore, when she heard Lu Lin say that it was only a temporary solution, she didn't even feel disappointed.
But Lu Lin actually said that it could cure the disease completely, which made Ke Lai extremely happy!
"Of course, I'm absolutely sure!" Lu Lin's smile was full of confidence.
"Then... is there anything I can do?" Cole asked cautiously.
Curing this intractable disease would require an immeasurable amount of medicine and money, which made her a little worried.
"You don't need to do anything, just focus on your studies here. The key to a complete cure lies in Sumeru City. I'm leaving for Sumeru City soon, so just wait here for my good news." Lu Lin patted her head to comfort her.
"Huh? In Sumeru City? Are you buying some precious medicinal herbs?" Cole hesitated for a moment. "I have some savings, if I need money."
"Alright, no money needed, and I won't take your money. Just consider it me doing a good deed!" Lu Lin patted her head again.
Lu Lin wasn't just doing this out of pure kindness; what's free is often the most expensive. He didn't charge money, but he wanted to recruit people.
He didn't care about money or material possessions, but Ke Lai was deeply moved. She wanted to repay Lu Lin, but didn't know how.
The girl couldn't help but think back to the scene she had witnessed the previous night.
Brother Lu Lin seems to really like that, so can Ke Lai do it too...?
Thinking of this, Cole's face turned even redder.
"Alright, we're about to set off. Just wait here for our good news. Don't worry, we'll definitely cure you!"
"Mmm!" Ke Lai stared at Lu Lin, clenched her fist, and made up her mind.
Chapter 370 A Date with Nasita
Lu Lin didn't linger in Huacheng Guo for too long. He needed to find the [Doctor]'s whereabouts as soon as possible and, ideally, kill him before he obtained the Heart of God.
Although there is no position for the "Doctor" right now, there is a very simple logic to it.
If the Doctor wants to launch the plan, he is determined to obtain the Heart of God. Lu Lin only needs to wait for him at the Pure Goodness Palace. There is no need to search the whole world for the Doctor's whereabouts.
Having figured this out, Lu Lin led Jiuqi Ren and the other two towards Xumi City as quickly as possible. They didn't waste any time along the way and arrived at Xumi in just over a day.
After arriving at Sumeru, Yanfei and the others split up.
Yanfei went to the Kyoryu-in for an exchange program as planned, while Yun Jin and Jiuqi Ren went to the Zuber Theater for an exchange program.
Lu Lin didn't follow them. Instead, he planned to go to Jing Shan Palace first to check on the Little Auspicious Grass King.
Sumeru City was also a very prosperous main city, and it looked much the same as Lu Lin remembered. He found the location of Jingshan Palace with familiarity and prepared to sneak into it.
As the place where the current Grass Goddess Naxida is under house arrest by the Order of the Church, the Jing Shan Palace is naturally heavily guarded, but for Lu Lin, it is practically non-existent.
He activated the "Ignore" option, blocking all the guards of the Pure Goodness Palace, and swaggered into the palace.
With this entry in place, it would be incredibly easy for Lu Lin to carry out infiltration, assassination, or similar activities!
Although Nasida was under house arrest, it was actually a compromise she made herself.
At this stage, her strength is indeed not strong enough, but that is relative to the level of gods, and does not mean that anyone can bully her.
The current situation is also related to her relatively weak personality.
Narcida always felt that she was not a qualified god and could not meet the expectations of the Sages of the Faith Council, so she acquiesced to this disguised house arrest.
"Huh? Someone's here?" In the center of the Yiqi Wuliu Jingshan Palace, there is a huge lotus platform. Naxi Da sits on the center of the lotus platform, holding a book and studying it.
Although she is the goddess of wisdom, she is not omniscient or omnipotent, and she did not even display superhuman intelligence when she was born.
This is why the sages of the Order of the Church were disappointed in her; as a deity, she was indeed somewhat weak.
Therefore, Nasita has been studying diligently all these years, and even while secluded in the Pure Goodness Palace, she has not stopped. However, although Sumeru has convenient tools like the Void Terminal, she still prefers physical books.
Lu Lin's footsteps caught Nasita's attention.
Naxi Da lived in seclusion here, and no one usually came to visit her. Lu Lin's footsteps immediately aroused her curiosity.
With a creak, the inner door was pushed open, and Lu Lin, dressed in a trench coat and with a handsome appearance, appeared in Naxida's sight.
"Who are you?" Nasita tilted her head, her puzzled expression quite adorable.
This is an extremely cute girl with long, silver-white hair styled into a high ponytail, the ends of which have a gradient of green.
Her round face was adorable, her pointed ears resembled those of an elf, and her big, round eyes sparkled with intelligence.
She was wearing a green dress with short lantern pants underneath as safety shorts. The dress had an intricate pattern and exuded a vibrant and energetic spirit.
What attracted Lu Lin's attention the most were those two small, white, and jade-like feet.
These two fair and tender little feet are definitely the most carefully crafted creations of God. The skin is fair and smooth, and delicate. From the instep to the sole, there is a faint white glow. The toes are like a row of tightly interlocked pearls, round and shiny!
Gudong!
Lu Lin swallowed hard.
There was no way around it; he had seen far too many top-quality jade feet, which had long since turned him into a seasoned foot fetishist.
Even Lu Lin, who has seen the world and has a discerning eye, would have to say that Nasita's delicate feet are a unique and exquisite treasure!
However, Lu Lin had good self-control. After only a brief moment of distraction, he came to his senses and smiled, "Hello, Nasita, my name is Lu Lin."
"Lu Lin?" Nasita tilted her head and thought for a moment. "That Mr. Lu Lin from Liyue?"
“I didn’t expect to be so famous that even the Grass God has heard of me.” Nasita’s words surprised Lu Lin.
Although Nasita was under house arrest in the Jingshan Palace, she could still send out some of her power, so she was not completely unaware of the outside world.
Lu Lin's existence may be unfamiliar to ordinary people, but it is no secret to the Liyue leadership. Therefore, it is possible that some strange stories have spread to Sumeru and were heard by Nashida, whose consciousness was projected to the outside world.
"How did Mr. Lu Lin get in?" Knowing that Lu Lin was from Liyue, Nashida was even more surprised that he was able to enter the Pure Land Palace.
"As you can see, you've come in!"
Nasita understood that he didn't want to go into details, so she didn't press him for an answer. Instead, she asked, "Mr. Lu, what brings you here?"
"Hmm... nothing serious, just came to see you and catch up on things." Lu Lin's tone was quite familiar, as if he had known Nasita for a long time.
Narcida had a similar feeling. She felt a strange fondness for this guy who had suddenly barged in. She felt comfortable talking to him, as if he were an old friend, but Narcida was certain that this was the first time she had met him.
"Look at me?" Nasita tilted her head again, her puzzled look utterly adorable!
"You seem to be in good spirits. Would you like to go out for a stroll?" Lu Lin said as he walked to the lotus platform.
"Go out for a walk?"
The eyes of the god of wisdom no longer held any glimmer of wisdom.
A strange man suddenly barged in, acting all familiar and saying he'd come to see her, even asking if she wanted to go out for a walk. This unexpected turn of events left her a little stunned.
But we don't know each other!
Even though Nasida felt a strange sense of closeness and familiarity with Lu Lin, she remained rational.
Most importantly, there is a seal set up by the sages of the Order of the Church here. Unless she breaks off relations, it's really impossible for her to leave quietly.
She has no intention of turning against those sages at this stage.
“As a deity, it’s not good to stay at home all the time. You should go out and see the world more often. Let’s go!” Lu Lin took another step and ascended the lotus platform.
"Hey! Wait, there's a seal here!" Before Naxi Da could finish speaking, Lu Lin had already climbed onto the lotus platform and taken the girl's delicate hand.
The seal remains unmoved!
In fact, the seal itself is not strong. Not to mention Lu Lin, even Naxida, who lacks divine power, could forcibly break it.
However, it has an early warning function; once it is damaged, the Great Sage will sense the situation here.
"Come on, let me take you out for a walk." Lu Lin smiled warmly.
Chapter 371 Naxi Da, her face flushed red
Nasida was genuinely surprised this time.
Lu Lin swaggered in like that. Not only did the guards of Jing Shan Palace not react, but even the barrier set up by the Great Sage did not react at all.
She could tell that Lu Lin hadn't broken the seal by force, but had simply swaggered in without disturbing the barrier.
Lu Lin also has another term he rarely uses after obtaining it—【Invulnerable to all laws】.
This is a combat-oriented entry, but because his current strength is so great, he encounters battles where he completely overwhelms his opponents, so it's not very useful.
Today, it actually came in handy. The Great Sage's barrier also falls under the category of "Law," so he was completely immune to it and didn't even need to activate the sealing barrier.
Of course, even if it does trigger something, it doesn't matter. If the Great Sage doesn't come, fine. But if he does, you'll definitely get a beating.
Although she didn't know how Lu Lin did it, his words deeply moved Nasida.
