Canglang Edu had known long ago that Zero had arrived in the Wasteland World, but because he bore Scholar House's mission of contacting the vampires, he had never gone to look for Zero.
Canglang Edu hated Wuma Ningzhi's habit of taking petty advantages, disappointed that she did not strive for better. Wouldn't it be better to spend that energy studying the Magic Books she had yet to master?
As for Chen Yi extorting numerous city lords, Canglang Edu called it an understanding of the hardships of research. How could one research spells without funding?
Whenever Wuma Ningzhi prepared to enter dangerous areas for trials, Canglang Edu would say that she was not ready yet.
When Chen Yi led three million players into the Mad Wasteland, Canglang Edu said that Zero must have some kind of objective.
And sure enough.
Zero had indeed come prepared.
Wuma Ningzhi was already too tired to mock her teacher's double standards. Whatever. Let him do as he pleased.
She sat atop a massive boulder, watching the sky outside the cave while her restless legs swung back and forth. It was clear that she truly trusted her teacher.
"What exactly is that treasure Zero and the City of Heaven want? Could it be something that can directly make someone Rank 7?"
Canglang Edu shook his head. "Don't indulge in such unrealistic dreams. True powerhouses do not place their hopes in external objects. Haven't you understood yet? They have another objective."
Remembering her teacher's double standards, Wuma Ningzhi curled her lips. "Even if it can't do that, perhaps he also wants to earn some research funding while he's at it. You haven't seen how those players eat and take whatever they want after entering the city."
Canglang Edu did not continue explaining. The newcomers harbored ill intent.
