Cafeteria! Preparations to Depart for the Underground World!

Hu Dahai said, "Yes, but not entirely."

Meeting Lu Yuan's puzzled gaze, Hu Dahai explained, "Senior Jiang Xuanran—she's not only beautiful, but awakened an S-class supernatural ability, Jade Pure Divine Thunder. At just 22 years old, she's already at West Tier Middle Rank, and she led Shencheng Supernatural University to win first place in the last National Supernatural University Competition!"

After hearing Hu Dahai's explanation, Lu Yuan finally understood why Jiang Xuanran was so popular.

In this era of universal supernatural awakening, people naturally worshipped the strong.

Not to mention that this strong individual was also incredibly beautiful—that was just icing on the cake.

If she were merely a pretty face, there was no way she could wield such influence!

After the two left the mission center, they looked up at the sky.

The setting sun hung low, like burning embers.

"It's getting late. Want to head to the cafeteria for dinner?"

Hu Dahai asked with a smile.

"Of course."

Lu Yuan nodded in agreement.

Because the campus was so vast, the number of cafeterias built was enormous.

Throughout the entire Shencheng Supernatural University campus, there were a total of 24 cafeterias!

Now, Lu Yuan and Hu Dahai arrived at the Tenth West Cafeteria, the one closest to them at the time.

The cafeteria was huge, even somewhat imposing.

After a brief moment of admiration, Lu Yuan and Hu Dahai walked inside.

A quick scan around showed

that the number of students inside was moderate—neither too many nor too few.

Among these students, a considerable number had their own Companion Beasts by their side.

While the students ate, their Companion Beasts also dined with them!

Lu Yuan found this perfectly normal. Although Companion Beasts were indeed expensive, Shencheng Supernatural University was a top-tier domestic supernatural university—how terrifying were the students' earning abilities?

While it might not be possible for them to raise a Deepwater Demon Dragon Cub like Xia Qingyin, raising an ordinary one was no problem at all.

"What? Thinking about getting a Companion Beast?"

Hu Dahai noticed Lu Yuan slowing his pace and spoke up.

"That's right."

Lu Yuan nodded slightly.

Who wouldn't want to keep a Companion Beast by their side?

But what Lu Yuan wanted wasn't some ornamental Companion Beast—it was one that could assist him in battle, like that Deepwater Demon Dragon...

Lu Yuan asked again, "Senior Hu, do you have a Companion Beast?"

Hu Dahai smiled slightly. "Of course."

As he spoke, Hu Dahai took a Containment Ball from his pocket and said, "Little White, come on out!"

The Containment Ball could store a Companion Beast in a pocket space, making it convenient to keep one nearby without exposing it.

A flash of light passed, the Containment Ball opened, and a Companion Beast appeared.

What came into view was a milky-white little kitten!

"Meow~ Meow~"

The moment it came out, the milky-white kitten stretched out its two paws and tightly hugged Hu Dahai.

"Haha, my Little Mi is a bit shy. Forgive her."

Hu Dahai stroked his Companion Beast's fur and smiled apologetically.

Lu Yuan's pupils trembled slightly. He hadn't expected Senior Hu to like this kind of thing—he really hadn't seen that coming...

After letting Lu Yuan take a look, Hu Dahai put his Companion Beast back into the Containment Ball.

Then the two picked a counter and started eating dinner.

After finishing their meal, Hu Dahai said he was heading back to the dormitory.

Before parting ways, they exchanged contact information.

Lu Yuan didn't return to the dormitory. Instead, he planned to head to the school's Resource Trading Office.

That's right, Lu Yuan had made up his mind.

Tomorrow, he would go to the Underground World passage.

Although the school's entrance to the Underground World was sealed off, he could still use one outside the campus!

When they parted ways, Senior Hu warmly said he could come to him with any questions.

But Lu Yuan still decided to go alone and see if he could join a team afterward.

Going to the Underground World entrance outside the school would be too much trouble for others—that wouldn't be right.

Through the Campus Forum, Lu Yuan already knew that before heading to the Underground World entrance, he needed to make thorough preparations to avoid unnecessary accidents!

Soon, Lu Yuan arrived at the Resource Trading Office.

"Ahem, ahem, student, is there anything you need?"

The Resource Trading Office had many windows, and Lu Yuan approached one manned by an elderly man.

Although this old man's hair was completely white, he still looked vigorous and full of energy.

"I need three bottles of First-order Energy Potion, one bottle of First-order Disinfectant Potion, one bottle of First-order Berserker Potion, one bottle of First-order Calming Potion... and finally, one set of D-rank Alloy Combat Suit!"

Lu Yuan listed everything he needed in one breath.

Energy Potion could not only stave off hunger but also speed up the recovery of Primal Energy within the body.

Disinfectant Potion and Berserker Potion were self-explanatory.

As for the Calming Potion...

According to the Campus Forum, when fighting ferocious beasts, one would inevitably be tainted with Bloodthirsty Qi, so having a bottle of Calming Potion on hand could effectively prevent losing control!
