Jiang Qing rested her chin in her hand. "It varies from person to person, but to be on the safe side, it'd be better to wait a few more days after you feel the Bloodthirsty Qi has completely faded before heading to the Underground World."
Lu Yuan committed her words to memory.
"Oh, right, Junior Lu. Your weapon and battle suit both need cleaning. There's a special cleaning center on campus. If I remember right, it's not far to the right of your dormitory area."
As Lu Yuan was leaving, Jiang Qing didn't forget to remind him.
Lu Yuan scanned a shared electric scooter parked by the roadside.
Besides electricity, the scooter also used the Primal Energy in ferocious beast cores to assist its motor.
As a result, the shared scooters on campus were considerably faster than ordinary electric scooters!
Before long, following the map on his phone, Lu Yuan arrived at the cleaning center beside the dormitory area.
Inside the cleaning center.
As soon as Lu Yuan walked in, a staff member greeted him warmly. "Student, are you here to get your weapon and equipment cleaned?"
With killing intent radiating from him and dried bloodstains all over his weapon and equipment, Lu Yuan clearly looked like a student who'd just returned from another world. That was why the staff member asked.
After Lu Yuan confirmed that he needed them cleaned, the staff member continued, "A spear is easy to clean—68 Blue Star coins. A men's battle suit costs 288 Blue Star coins. Please provide your Student ID. Once the cleaning is done, we'll send you a personal pickup code through the 'Heart in Shen Da' app. Then you just need to come by and collect your things!"
Lu Yuan first scanned 356 Blue Star coins with his phone, then handed his Student ID to the staff member.
He went into one of the rooms set aside for changing, took off his battle suit, and changed into his casual clothes. After coming out,
Lu Yuan handed his battle suit and spear to the staff member as well.
The staff member took the battle suit and spear. After scanning Lu Yuan's Student ID, he looked a little surprised. "Student, you're still a specially recruited freshman!"
Lu Yuan replied, "Yeah. Why?"
The staff member shook his head. "It's nothing. It's just pretty rare for a specially recruited freshman to head to the Underground World already!"
After leaving the cleaning center, Lu Yuan still didn't return to the dormitory area. Instead, he turned his scooter around and headed to the Mission Center!
The Mission Center.
Lu Yuan went to a Mission Submission Window and handed the staff member ten Shadow Cat paws, wrapped up in plastic bags, along with his Student ID.
"My mission is complete."
These ten Shadow Cat paws were clearly what Lu Yuan had collected on his first day in the Underground World.
Lu Yuan hadn't kept it a secret. He'd openly told the other members of the Fire Fox Team about it.
Overall, earning Credit Points by submitting missions at Shencheng Supernatural University was definitely more profitable than selling his spoils at the Jiangzhan City Supernatural Ability Base.
The others understood. They only said that this amount would be deducted when the final shares for each team member were calculated.
The staff member carefully inspected the Shadow Cat paws Lu Yuan had submitted. After finding no problems, he returned Lu Yuan's Student ID and said, "You've completed a C-rank mission, worth 0.5 Credit Points. They should be credited today!"
0.5 Credit Points were worth about 5,000 to 10,000 Blue Star coins. It wasn't much.
Fortunately, after completing the mission, Lu Yuan was surprised to see that his mission level on the "Heart in Shen Da" app had reached level 2!
That meant he could accept two missions at once!
His efficiency at earning Credit Points had practically doubled!
After leaving the Mission Center, Lu Yuan had nothing else to do, so he simply rode his scooter back to the dormitory.
He used his key to open the dormitory door.
As soon as he entered, Lu Yuan said, "Xiao Ya, turn on the air conditioning."
Beep!
"Air conditioning activated!"
As it switched on, cool air gradually filled the entire villa, making it much more comfortable!
Lu Yuan ordered takeout and sat on the sofa, waiting for it to arrive. Then Xiao Ya's mechanical voice rang through the room!
"Master! Someone's knocking!"
At the same time, a "knock, knock, knock" sounded from outside.
"Strange. Who's come to see me?"
Lu Yuan couldn't help wondering.
He walked to the dormitory door and opened it.
Standing outside was a tall, muscular young man. Lu Yuan was certain he didn't know him.
What did he want with me?
Just as Lu Yuan was wondering, the muscular young man spoke first. "Hello, my name's Fang Shi. I awakened an S-rank earth-type ability, Adamantine Profound Earth. Like you, I'm also one of this year's specially recruited freshmen at Shen Da."
So he was another specially recruited freshman at Shen Da this year.
"Hello, I'm Lu Yuan." Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow. "So, what brings you here?"
Fang Shi grinned with a simple, honest look. "I came to challenge you!"
Lu Yuan didn't ask Fang Shi why he wanted to challenge him.
He knew that some people were born to challenge others, searching for their weaknesses in pursuit of improvement.
Everyone cultivated differently. There was nothing strange about that.
So Lu Yuan asked, "What do I get if I win?"
