Standing at the office door, Jiang Lin hadn't quite processed it yet.
From the Sun-Roaming God's immediate agreement to him coming out, it had been too fast.
Although the Sun-Roaming God kept her eyes closed, she gave off the feeling that she was looking at you.
She explained, "The Life Paper is a type of paper manufactured by the Northern Hall using a special method."
"It's unique to the Northern Hall; the other three halls don't have it."
It could be said that without this Life Paper, one could not learn the advanced paper-crafting techniques of the Northern Hall.
Otherwise, one could only stop at the beginner and intermediate classes.
"You'll know the specifics when the Northern Hall issues it. Just remember to wear it on you then."
After a simple explanation, the Sun-Roaming God prepared to leave.
"Isn't it still class time? Study hard. Don't worry about anything else; everyone from the Eastern Hall is here."
"Mm."
After seeing the Sun-Roaming God off, Jiang Lin also returned to the beginner class.
He fully immersed himself in his studies.
Life Paper...
He really didn't know about it.
The Sun-Roaming God and the others had been stationed in the Northern Hall for some time, and they were more familiar with the matters and situations here.
With the Eastern Hall behind him, he just needed to do what he had to do.
...
Upon seeing Jiang Lin return, the ghost classmates in the class no longer focused on the paper figures in their hands.
They secretly glanced at Jiang Lin's location a couple of times.
At this time, they still didn't understand what had happened.
It wasn't until two days later that a new linking technique appeared in the Paper-Crafting Hall.
It was clearly a basic step in paper-crafting, but to put it into practice required the strength of an advanced student.
It was truly strange.
Its innovative idea also attracted many advanced students to observe.
However, the reason the news spread so quickly was mainly due to the author credited after the linking technique.
It clearly stated two characters—Jiang Lin.
Behind the name, there was a series of explanations:
Jiang Lin, a ghost messenger from the Eastern Hall, a propagator of the Underworld. While studying paper-crafting in the Northern Hall, he independently created the linking technique...
...
After hearing the whole story.
The students of the Paper-Crafting - Beginner Class: "..."
They exchanged glances, speechless.
Many thoughts swirled in their minds but remained unspoken.
—So, that day, Jiang Wuchang and Teacher Huo were discussing this matter?
But Jiang Wuchang had only arrived the day before?
And it hadn't even been a few days in total until now?
Jiang Wuchang...
The Eastern Hall...
Other ghosts might not know, but they had seen it from beginning to end.
For a moment, the students of the Paper-Crafting - Beginner Class fell silent.
Even if Jiang Wuchang was very powerful, this was his first time encountering paper-crafting.
As for them, they had come into contact with it to some extent since appearing in the Northern Hall's Underworld.
Their living quarters and daily necessities were all made with paper-crafting.
They could be bought and sold directly in the ghost market.
Finished products were naturally much simpler to use.
...
Thinking about this, they couldn't help but reflect.
Were they learning too slowly?
Were they too lazy?
Others from different underworlds were much more proactive and quicker in their learning.
Paper-crafting was the hallmark of their Northern Hall!
"I think we can't go on like this anymore."
"Let's eat less gossip and practice more in the future..."
"The past two days, some ghosts have asked me if I'm Jiang Wuchang's classmate, and I felt too embarrassed to answer."
"..."
From that day on, a series of changes occurred among the students of the Paper-Crafting - Beginner Class.
One-third of the more than ten students in the class later successfully entered the advanced class.
The remaining two-thirds graduated from the intermediate class at the very least.
It should be known that anyone who could enter the advanced class, even if not yet graduated...
Would be regarded as a prodigy of the Northern Hall and highly valued by other ghosts.
In the past, it was considered good if one or two advanced students appeared in a class.
However, this was all in the past.
No one knew it at the time.
Jiang Lin was solely focused on learning, completely disregarding the gazes or opinions of other ghosts.
As the teaching content of the beginner class was relatively simple and quick to grasp.
He even took some spare time to enroll in a musical instrument - beginner class next door.
Staggering the class times, he learned both simultaneously.
This move once again spurred the students of the Paper-Crafting - Beginner Class.
—Charge! We must charge with all our might!
As long as we don't die from exhaustion, we'll practice hard!
...
One day,
Jiang Lin was practicing folding paper when he was suddenly called to the corridor by Huo Shu.
"You've almost finished learning the content of the beginner class. Submit a graduation work to me in the next two days, and you can prepare to move to the intermediate class."
Jiang Lin paused: "...Okay."
He had already finished the beginner class?
So quickly?
He thought it had only just begun.
The beginner class taught basic knowledge.
For example, how to inject ghost energy into paper figures, how to issue commands, how to control them...
And how to make paper figures, what to pay attention to when folding paper.
How to grasp the internal space and ghost energy flow during folding.
And also, understanding the various types of paper-crafting.
One must be proficient in at least one type.
Although they were all very simple, they were still somewhat difficult for beginner students.
It could be said that Jiang Lin's learning progress was both beyond Huo Shu's expectations and within reason.
"Alright, you can go back early today to prepare."
"Okay, Teacher Huo."
Jiang Lin didn't delay. He went back to the classroom, packed up the things on his desk,
Said goodbye to his ghost classmate next door, and returned to the apartment arranged by the Eastern Hall.
Graduation work...
What should he make?
It needed to use the content learned in the beginner class, folding paper, commands...
On his way back to the apartment, many ideas popped into Jiang Lin's mind.
But nothing specific had been decided yet.
...
Upon returning to the apartment, Jiang Lin activated the Starry Sky mode.
Instantly, the furniture in the room folded into the walls.
A sky full of stars appeared above, and a field of small white flowers below.
The white sea of flowers gently swayed with the breeze.
Jiang Lin sat in the rocking chair, looking at the starry sky, his body and mind gradually relaxing.
He had to admit that the Northern Hall's scene simulation was very well done.
It was meticulously handled from aspects like touch, smell, and hearing.
He had been running between the paper-crafting class and the musical instrument class for the past few days.
Today, he had some extra free time, which was perfect for reviewing his recent studies.
And also to think carefully about what to do for his graduation work.
Striving to pass on the first try.
His neighbor classmate had told him that many students in the class had already finished their beginner courses.
The reason they hadn't left was that they were stuck on their graduation work.
With Huo Shu, he didn't care how lazy or idle you were in class.
But the assignments he assigned must be completed.
If the graduation work did not meet his requirements, he would absolutely not let it pass.
His strictness had reached an almost perverse level.
—If you can't graduate, he could truly hold you back for a hundred years.
However,
If he really held someone back for that long, the campus would likely suggest dropping out or transferring to study something else.
While contemplating under the starry sky, Jiang Lin's peripheral vision suddenly fell on the bullet comment section next to him.
"Long time no see, streamer. What are you doing?"
"Streamer, streamer, Egg Egg is going to run away with another little cutie~"
"This scene is so magical, hahaha..."
...
Jiang Lin: "...?"
What happened with the Seven-Colored Egg?
