The witch classmate looked at her.
Lin Xinghe let her classmate evaluate her generously and then said, âIâm running out of time, so Iâll cut to the chase. Iâm not here to sell insurance or offer products, Iâm here to make a deal with you. Iâll give you an alpine rimerose later, so you can leave the exam room with guaranteed points. At the same time, you can easily relax and take a half-month vacation on the cruise.â
She paused, then said, âOf course, if you want to get a higher score, you can also trade with me. I can provide you with the latest clues and information and you can freely explore the storyline of the exam room. Or, you can even cooperate with me, but I cannot guarantee your life and safety.â
The witch classmate asked, âWhat do you want me to do?â
Lin Xinghe replied, âYou used to be a witch who lived under the sea, right? Ordinary human beings like me want to walk freely on the seafloor without being restricted by the water pressure or drowning. Is that possible?â
The witch classmate thought about it. She explained, âI can make a black magic potion that allows people to breathe on the seabed and resist the pressure at that level, but it can only last for 24 hours.â
Lin Xinghe asked, âHow long does it take to make such a potion?â
The witch classmate replied, âI have the raw materials, so probably around an hour.â
Lin Xinghe said, âI need one.â
âOkay, Iâll give it to you in an hour,â the witch classmate said. âYou can bring me an alpine rimerose. I donât need anything else.â
Lin Xinghe admired the witchâs straightforwardness and asked, âOkay, whatâs your name? If needed, I can help you advertise in the future.â
âJust call me Mona.â
(ED note: more water witches called Mona????)
Although Mona was a villainous witch, she was not a big villain in her before-novel. She owned an ancient underwater castle, and the undersea merchants would trade with her. At that time, there was a bigger villainâa demon king who lived in the deep sea.
But that was what Mona herself thought. She didnât know that she was a villain until the day she died and always felt that she was a decent person. After all, the mermaid princess often bought things from her on credit. Even by the time that the prince killed Mona, the mermaid princess still hadnât paid her back.
In this exam, Mona originally thought that she alone had discovered the secrets of the seafloor and expected to get top ten, but now she realized that Lin Xinghe had also discovered these clues. According to Lin Xingheâs excellent performance in this exam, she must be in the top ten, and her teammates Jiuge and Fu Zhou would also be.
However, Mona did not think that she could protect herself against a group of hadal ogres, and she didnât want to sacrifice herself for a job that could prove potentially too difficult.
Mona shook hands with Lin Xinghe again and asked, âWhich room do you live in? Iâll finish making the potion in an hour and deliver it to you.â
Lin Xinghe randomly ate something in the buffet and then went back to her room. After an hour, Mona gave her the potion and also came with special clothes to ward off the cold on the seafloor.
Lin Xinghe expressed her gratitude.
Mona waved at Lin Xinghe and happily started her vacation life.
Many students in the livestreams were envious.
ãIs it too late to learn black magic now? ã
ãI really want to have an exam with the SL, give her equipment, and get carried to victory uwu. ã
ãI just wanna get the minimum guaranteed score in exams. ã
ãWut, is Lin Xinghe going to the bottom of the sea? What is she going to do under the sea? Steal alpine rimeroses? ã
ãShe only needs a single tube of potion? Is she ditching Jiuge and Fu Zhou? ã
ãbtw, can Lin Xinghe even leave the cruise? ã
ãShe isnât a returning passenger, so it should be okay?? ã
ãSL hasnât been through either massacre, so I think sheâll be ok!!ã
â¦
Lin Xinghe was indeed testing whether she could leave the cruise, but she was not testing himself, but rather Ling Xiran.
After all, the passengers should be able to leave up to a certain distance, otherwise, the reincarnated passengers would not be able to get on the pier. The question was how far is this distance was.
Soon, the test results came out.
As soon as Ling Xiran left the cruise, she would be pulled back by an invisible tension. No matter how she left the cruise, the result would be the same.
Lin Xinghe also tested other returning passengers, and the results were the same.
Lin Xinghe did not test anymore.
She jumped into the sea and sank to the bottom of the sea. Monaâs potion really worked. She felt no different on the seafloor than on the ship, and nothing was keeping her tethered to the cruise, either.
It seemed that the trigger for the curse of returning was the second massacre. Lin Xinghe guessed that the hadal ogres did something to the passengers and prevented them from leaving the cruise.
She got out of the sea.
Her magic broom hovered in mid-air.
She grabbed the magic broom and got on it, and when she rode it back to the cruise, she unexpectedly found Fu Zhou and Jiuge standing on the deck. They looked at her at the same time.
Fu Zhou asked, âWere you going to steal alpine rimeroses?â
âNo.â
âThen what did you want to do?â
Lin Xinghe said, âBreak into the hadal ogresâ stronghold.â
Fu Zhou: ? ? ?
Jiu Ye, who had been drinking his healthy goji berry tea, showed a rare surprised look, and slowly swallowed his mouthful of tea.
