"So that's how it is."

A few minutes later, the two of them were walking on the path in the college.

Lin Chen finally explained the misunderstanding to Evelyn.

"Well, Vivian... She still doesn't really understand human emotions, so she often asks inappropriate questions and unintentionally offends others. I'm really sorry for her behavior towards you, Evelyn," Lin Chen apologized.

During their conversation, Lin Chen also learned some information about this student council president and upperclassman, Evelyn.

Evelyn was a sophomore in the college and had entered a year before Lin Chen. She had already reached the intermediate level of strength.

Of course, Lin Chen didn't have much of a concept of strength levels.

"Vivian has caused trouble for her master, and I apologize for that," Vivian also bowed politely.

"But, it's quite unusual for someone like you, Lin Chen, to give a puppet a name," Evelyn chuckled and changed the subject to avoid the previous awkwardness.

"Isn't that something people usually don't do?"

Evelyn nodded.

"While Puppet is a battle companion for Puppet Masters, they are ultimately not human. Moreover, most puppets are not humanoid. Or rather, the less they resemble humans, the stronger their power tends to be. So it's difficult to consider something like that as human," Evelyn explained.

Evelyn took Lin Chen on a stroll around the college campus. Her long hair floated in the air and her steps were light and graceful, like a quiet cat walking beside him.

More importantly, her radiant appearance quickly attracted the attention of many students on campus.

Her beautiful smile intoxicated the students on campus, while also deepening their hatred towards Lin Chen standing beside her.

Why would Evelyn, who usually treated people indifferently, be so good to this guy?

"Look, it's Evelyn, the senior sister!" a student exclaimed.

"She's the student council president in our college! I heard she was the only one who drew an A-level puppet, and she has reached at least the intermediate level now."

"Who is the guy beside her?"

"I heard he's the F-level freshman in recent years."

"He must be someone she feels sorry for, so she's comforting him as the student council president!"

"He's the one with the doll maid, right? I can't believe someone actually brought a doll maid to school..."

Amidst those envious and jealous glances, Evelyn walked by Lin Chen's side, while Lin Chen's maid, Vivian, stayed half a step behind.

It was a distance that could both display the identity of the master and allow for timely summons.

Evelyn smiled as she introduced various facilities in the school to him.

Truly deserving to be a branch of the Imperial Capital Puppet Master Academy, even though it was built in such a remote town, it had very complete facilities, including student dormitories, cafeterias, classrooms, and specialized facilities for combat.

In addition to these, there was also a dedicated commercial street.

"That street is relatively close to the Hunter's Guild land, and many hunters sell goods there. You can only buy Puppet-related enhancement materials there," Evelyn explained.

"Enhancement materials?"

"Yes, there are enhancement stones as well as other types of accessories," Evelyn explained carefully. "Enhancement stones can enhance the magical power of puppets and indirectly improve the strength of their alchemical bodies. The other accessories can provide new functions to the puppets."

"New functions?"

"Such as combat enhancement, magic enhancement, perception enhancement, and so on," Evelyn said. "Although you are bound to the worst F-level doll maid, you can still enhance her. The enhanced doll maids can also fight..."

"No," Lin Chen suddenly interrupted Evelyn as she was enthusiastically explaining. "I never intended for Vivian to fight."

"Huh?! But besides talent, the Puppet Master Academy also values the strength of the puppet masters, which includes their performance in battles. If you can reach the initial stage..."

Evelyn was a bit bewildered as she stared at the face of the boy in front of her.What is he thinking exactly?

Since the academy has a reason to accept Lin Chen, it means that there must be something unique about Lin Chen.

But he seems completely uninterested in getting involved in all this, as if he is not interested in the academy's system either.

For ordinary people of F level, theoretically it is possible to enhance the puppet maid to a certain extent and barely pass the academy's Puppet Master assessment.

As long as you obtain a basic qualification certificate, you can use this proof to engage in some low-level work.

Although it is the level of a menial worker, being a Puppet Master means being part of the ruling class, and even doing menial work within the ruling class is not a bad thing.

In the midst of his thoughts, Lin Chen was already half a step ahead of Evelyn.

He saw the uncle waiting for them at the entrance of the shopping street, so he waved his hand to greet him and then remembered that Evelyn was still behind him, so he turned around:

"Somebody is waiting for us, so we don't need to bother the senior sister anymore."

"Eh? Lin Chen,"

Evelyn, hearing that Lin Chen is leaving, suddenly called him in a panicked manner.

"Wait, Lin Chen, um..."

The blue-haired girl twisted her hair with her fingers, looking somewhat timid.
