Martial Arts: I Have Diligence Reward System-Chapter 559 - 209: Remote Chief_3

"Anyway, for Divine Land, this is a research project that failed eight years ago, so it probably isn’t against the rules."

Suddenly, Su Yue’s pupils brightened.

He could still seek external assistance.

If he relied solely on his monotonous research, who knows when success would come.

Moreover, Su Yue felt that with his own ability, it might never succeed in his lifetime, mainly because the specialization was different.

If Yan Dongyan was unwilling to help, or if this was a secret the Divine Land Research Institute couldn’t disclose, then Su Yue would have to reluctantly give up.

There’s no other way.

If persistent research within one’s capability signifies progress, it can be greatly beneficial.

But knowing that success is impossible and persisting nevertheless is getting stuck on a dead-end, merely wasting time and energy.

If Divine Land didn’t want to help, he would decisively give up.

Then, he would go to the Spirit Pool to feel around, figure a way into the Wetland; if the East doesn’t light up, the West has to.

Su Yue glanced at the long rod in the corner.

No, that was his Celestial God’s Fury Flame Rod.

Su Yue even felt the Wetland calling to him.

He decided to act immediately.

Su Yue opened his phone and used a specialized network to contact Wang Yetao.

Wang Yetao wasn’t too busy and answered Su Yue’s call.

Although he was abroad, Zhenqin Corps was a direct line, accessible quickly without concerns of eavesdropping.

Wang Yetao was quite curious why Su Yue, who was studying in Jiangwu of Jiangyuan Country, called him so early.

Could it be trouble?

Su Yue got straight to the point, and explained the key issue succinctly, without mentioning peeking at others’ research materials, saying it was acquired by chance.

Wang Yetao understood what he meant.

Turns out it was to seek help from a battle strategy expert from the Research Institute.

"Alright, I understand.

"Keep your phone on; if Yan Dongyan is available, he’ll contact you directly. If he’s not available, I’ll inform you.

"Don’t hold out too much hope, Yan Dongyan is the head of the Divine Land Battle Strategy Division, likely too busy."

Wang Yetao hung up the phone.

If this was some secret research by Divine Land, he would simply tell Su Yue that Yan Dongyan was unavailable.

"That kid, going to Jiangyuan Country to study battle strategies, isn’t that nuts?"

Having set things in motion, Wang Yetao muttered to himself again.

An 18-year-old Wuda student, doing battle strategy research all pompously.

It’s enough just to learn them.

Even for us Ninth Grade generals, sometimes the principles of battle strategies are unclear, and you, a Third Grade, are thinking so deeply about it.

Wang Yetao felt that Su Yue was just messing around.

Maybe the kid was too idle?

Yan Dongyan might talk with Su Yue for his sake, but to genuinely help him... that’s unlikely.

...

Jiangwu.

Library.

Gong Ling had been feeling a bit down these past few days; she declined the group’s proposal for an outing, wanting some time alone to be quiet.

The Jiangwu Library is a quiet haven.

Wang Lu Feng and Tian Hongwei wanted to keep Gong Ling company, but Du Jing’s Book dragged them away.

Two clueless fools.

Gong Ling must be upset about the radar test incident.

At such a time, she needs solitude, and going would only further upset her.

Being alone for a while, many things become clear.

Like when I used to be jealous of Su Yue, if I hadn’t silently told myself not to be angry, I might still be plotting against him now.

But is there any point in plotting against Su Yue except deepening my Heart Demon?

No use whatsoever.

If you don’t calm down, it’s easy to go astray.

The Jiangyuan Country’s library is vast, yet eerily empty in some places.

Due to the herb clamber effect, Jiangyuan Country’s Martial Artists are generally more restless; apart from those determined to join the National Guardian Master Team, the others are indifferent as there’s almost no hope of reaching Fifth Grade in their lifetime.

In the Jiangyuan Country library, Gong Ling found something unexpected.

There’s an exhibit hall filled entirely with books about long-range archery.

Books in the Jiangyuan Country script, even... quite a few in Divine Land characters.

Gong Ling picked one up and started to browse through it.

Some content in the book she already knew, but also, there were new pieces of knowledge.

Unknowingly, she had reached the last page.

There were a few gains.

Although most of the book wasn’t helpful, there were still a few pages containing valuable insights.

At this moment, Gong Ling’s disappointment with her own weakness evaporated.

She felt like she had discovered a new world.

During this month in Jiangyuan Country, she finally had something to do.

The array of long-range books in this hall would be enough for her to read for a month.

Gong Ling picked another one and began to savor it.

This one elaborated on various Divine Archery, and Gong Ling was so engrossed that she even found an introduction to the first Divine Bow of Divine Land: the Borolong Bow.

Unknowingly, it was already noon, and she didn’t even feel hungry.

"Young lady, are you from Divine Land?"

Suddenly, a very aged elder approached Gong Ling.

His body was skinny, with skin clinging to bones, eyelids drooping; he appeared to be at least 90 years old.

"Ah... yes, I’m from the Divine Land study delegation."

Gong Ling quickly replied.

At the same time, Gong Ling observed the elder with a glance.

When she saw the elder’s hand, her pupils shrank abruptly.

This was an archer.

The hands of long-range Martial Artists differ from ordinary ones because countless times of drawing the bowstring render their palms unusual.

"Is your surname Gong?"

The elder’s next question made Gong Ling’s hair stand on end.
