134 Who Do You Think You Are? (1/2)
For Lin Yun, this didn't require much brainpower.
Not to mention a minor spell matrix, even if the entire Fanrusen Formula was in front of him, Lin Yun would still be relaxed.
After writing down the final result, Lin Yun took a look at the stack of paper and began sorting them. This was the more troublesome part for Lin Yun. After spending a full night, Lin Yun finished this dull task.
After doing all of this, Lin Yun slept for a bit until it was the afternoon and then chanted the incantation once again to request a transmission with Hogg.
”What is it?” Hogg suddenly appeared in the crystal ball. His expression was off and his tone was somewhat stiff.
Hogg's eyes were red, and his chaotic hair was worse than it had been the day before. With one look, it could be seen that he had stayed up through the night. He had been completely focused on his calculations, but Lin Yun interrupted him. So how could he be in a good mood?
”Well, High Mage Hogg, I finished the work you gave me.”
”What? Finished?” Hogg frowned, a gloomy expression on his face. ”Show me.”
”Okay.” Lin Yun transferred the thick stack of paper through the crystal ball.
”Wait a bit…” After picking up the pile, Hogg quickly flipped the pages. He quickly went through the sorting and collecting task, and saw that it was indeed completed overnight. But the last page with the calculation of the Quad-Formula and eight pieces of data would have taken him at least ten days if he had done it himself, so how could this Mafa Merlin have been so fast?
The first thing Hogg thought about was that this fellow had skimped on that part!
Sure enough, Hogg's expression changed when he saw the piece of paper.
”Fuck, who made you change the data? Who made you change the Formula?” Hogg's pale face suddenly turned red due to anger. The crystal ball shook under his roar.
”What is it?”
”Take a look at what you have done! These pieces of data, these formulas, who allowed you to alter them?!” Hogg was already speaking incoherently because of his great rage. ”Who do you think you are!? You are just a Great Mage, a fucking Great Mage! What kind of knowledge do you have? You are a child playing in the mud, what do you think you can do?”
”Hey, High Mage Hogg, aren't you being a bit too excessive…” Lin Yun's face darkened.
”Excessive? Ha, ha, ha, this is such a funny joke…” Hogg coldly laughed with a mocking expression. ”The task I gave you was to complete the calculations of the spell matrix, it wasn't to have you change my formula. If you can't even do something like that, I advise you to hurry and get the fuck out of this research. Don't think that we are here to play with you!”
”Haha…” Lin Yun coldly chuckled and then shut down the crystal ball's transmission. 'Fuck, I have many things I need to take care of. Just dealing the Bone Plane's Nether Iron Vein is enough to hire ten 9th Rank High Mages to help me calculate these broken formulas, how could I have so much time to waste on you?'
”Yo-yo-you… You dare…” On the other side of the crystal ball, Hogg almost had a heart attack from being so angry. Looking at the crystal ball that had just had its transmission cut, his mouth couldn't close.
'Too brazen, too arrogant... Some immature 20-year-old Great Mage dares to confront a 9th Rank High Mage like me? He dares to laugh at me? Does he not know what manners are? What respect is? ...No, I have to tell Sir Jouyi!'
Hogg grabbed that sheet of paper and went to the research room of Star Sage Jouyi, even forgetting to knock on the door.
”Sir Jouyi!” Hogg walked over in pure anger, and he heavily slammed the sheet of paper on the table. ”That Mafa Merlin you handed to me, I can't bear him, find someone else.”
”What happened?” Jouyi raised his head from a pile of data and glanced at Hogg with a doubtful expression.
”I gave him a Quad-Formula and eight pieces of data to compute a spell matrix. In fact, considering his age and the fact that he was only a Great Master, I gave him the simplest spell matrix, along with a very lax deadline, giving him ten days. But look at the outcome…”
After saying that, Hogg handed the stack of paper to Jouyi.
”Take a look at this, that brazen oaf not only changed one of the pieces of data I gave him, but he also replaced one of the formulas. And when I couldn't stand it and gave him a piece of my mind, he, he… he directly shut down the transmission. This is too arrogant! Sir Jouyi, I definitely can't take care of this Mafa Merlin! You should find someone else!”
”Don't be that angry, let me take a look first…” Jouyi looked at the last sheet of paper.
But after looking, the smile on Jouyi's face vanished. It was replaced by a grave and solemn expression. He then picked up a piece of paper and a quill pen despite Hogg's doubts and began calculating carefully.
Jouyi went at this for half an hour.
After half an hour, Jouyi raised his head and sighed. He looked at Hogg with strictness and disappointment.
”What is it, Sir Jouyi?” Hogg's heart suddenly tightened.
As a member of the Cloud Tower, how could Hogg not know that the old man before him usually looked very kind, always carrying a faint smile on his face? But once he was involved in magic studies, he would become temperamental and extremely unreasonable.
