Chapter 323: Scattered: Part 3
Lin Sheng’s reply was mixed with vague words: “I guess”, “I think”, “maybe”, and “what not” . But the core message was clear and to the point . After sending the reply, he continued to browse the other posts .
After ten minutes, a notification sounded . The post he had just replied had got responses . Lin Sheng returned to the post to check out the replies .
“It’s a fair answer . Thank you, genius! The tone of the post starter was very respectful . He saw other replies . But they mostly came from the onlookers . Not worth his time . **”
Just like that, Lin Sheng had earned ten points . Apparently, the post starter was very happy with his reply . His account had now been upgraded to Level 1, and he could finally post on the forum .
He looked away from his phone to drink some goat’s milk before he continued .
“Seeking advice: What would be the future direction of dark energy? Corruption, violence, or Elusion school?”
“Who is the strongest student in the State of Cosillia*?”*
“Who is this nickname Leopard?”
“About the Sect of Thousand Grace . ”
Among the series of posts, the most interesting one was the post about the future direction of the dark energy, which had stirred up a strong public debate . Lin Sheng glanced over them and found that the debate had hundreds of replies . Out of boredom, he browsed the other latest threads and then called it a day . Suddenly, one particular thread caught his attention .

“Margaret will face difficulties when she returns home after graduation . ”
Lin Sheng thought for a moment . As soon as he clicked open the thread, his brows knitted together . Most of the contents were subjective opinions as if people were just venting their personal emotions .
Margaret tucked her sword, sweat trickling down her forehead . She took a hot towel that her junior handed her to wipe the sweat . She was going home . Margaret came to Miga to avoid her cousin, who was regarded as the best hope of the family .
They said talent was unreasonable sometimes . Her cousin, Shamika was born three years after her . But within a year of practicing dark energy, he had surpassed her five-year worth of achievement . She used to feel she deserve more, and angry, and work her butt off . Yet, her hard work was meaningless .
Talent was unsurmountable, and countless failures had made Margaret wise up to this cruel truth . She thought she could face this and remain calm . But when things stared her in the face, he only realized that she was far from calm as she thought .
Shamika, the overbearing cousin, a terrible monster, was coming to Miga . And he specifically stated that he wanted to find her in the Soul Fortress . When Margaret got the news, her mind went blank . She knew why Shamika came .
Margaret was the eldest daughter in the family branch, where she had a great say and influence . Her parents had left her a large number of property and resources, which were that Shamika needed . And to secure his position as the future patriarch, he must defeat all his rivals . Margaret was one, although the weakest one .
“Margaret, are you okay?” a junior asked with concern .

“I’m all right . Just spacing out a bit after the sword demonstration . Sorry . ” She forced a smile .
“It’s okay, you have shown your best sword skill . It was amazing!” a male student complimented, and the rest followed suit .
There was a bitter smile on Margaret’s face . She did not respond to their accolades . Instead, she continued to re-explain the sword skill to her juniors . Due to her absent-mindedness, she continued to make mistakes and needed her junior to correct her, making the atmosphere awkward .
On the second floor of the fortress, Lin Sheng stood on the open-air balcony, looking down as Margaret explained to her juniors . He was a little stunned before letting out a smile .
When the professor was not in, Margaret had to stand in, sharing her experience with the students . And as an idol senior student, who would graduate soon, Margaret was far more popular than Lin Sheng .
Lin Sheng stood on the terrace, eyeing the scene below .
“Her personality, demeanor, practical experience, and application of skills are all good, but her talent’s so-so . ”
Margaret was no Melissa . She was not ungifted in dark energy, but also in other aspects . Everything was dangling on mediocrity . With no accidents, special encounters, and ingenuity, Margaret was so ordinary that, apart from her family background, she was just a hardworking mediocrity .
“So that’s why she is so popular among the mediocrity?” Lin Sheng seemed to know something .

“It’s none of my business . I should check out the new research equipment . ” He had instructed his apprentice Adolf to purchase comprehensive research equipment to clone and research the energy assimilation point . These instruments were expensive and bulky . So delivery and installation were a hassle . Lin Sheng had to take the time to deal with it . It was better to deal with them hands-on . Only by calibrating the machine himself would he get the machine to work in the way he wanted .
Lin Sheng left the Soul Fortress and went to the other side of the city . He was in the mansion Adolf had just bought . With him were the researchers . He was to calibrate the equipment .
The mansion had a courtyard and a massive wine cellar . Lin Sheng planned to turn the cellar into an underground lab . But he had to come up with his plan and design .
Meanwhile, a group of unsolicited guests had arrived at the Soul Fortress when Professor Auldmandiller and Lin Sheng was away .
“This is the Soul Fortress?” A wheat-skinned young man with short blue hair looked at the fortress with great interest .
“Yes, Young Master . This is where Young Mistress studies . It’s the workshop of Baine University, the Soul Fortress,” a maid in a red skirt whispered . “May I read out the details report for you?”
“It’s unnecessary . I’ve read it in the morning . I remember it . ” The young boy smirked, striding toward the entrance where a group of people had been expecting them . “Let’s go . Don’t let the fellow think we are rude . ”
“It doesn’t matter,” said the maid in the red skirt . “Even a person like the young mistress is regarded as the strongest one here, you can imagine the quality of the students here . It’s already their greatest honor since birth for such weaklings to see Young Master’s heavenly face in close range . ”
“What kind of people that a workshop of this level could produce? Don’t expect too much . It’s only a coronated school in the middle reaches of Miga . You can’t have too high of a demand . Margaret is here to recuperate, not study,” said the young man with a smile .
“You’re right, Young Master . ” The maid bowed her head in agreement .
“Let’s go . Let me take a good look at her life here . She’s been wayward for so long . It’s time to go home . ”
“I’m afraid that Young Mistress won’t want to go home . ”
“Since I’m here, she can’t say no . ” The young man then strutted toward the fortress entrance .
