"I'm impressed."
I originally wanted to earn some merit points to upgrade my equipment.
"Why did they have to start training now of all times?"
Huai Xu muttered something under his breath.
Three days have passed since the professional team had that happy night.
At this moment, Qin Ze and his group were sitting on the bus heading to the training camp.
Sea Capital's seeded team only sent Qin Ze and his group.
According to Teacher Yao, the requirement for this training camp is that each school must send its strongest team.
Qin Ze's professional team had an impressive track record of soloing level 5 missions, so the spot at the Haidu Academy naturally went to them.
Qin Ze was slightly surprised by the person leading the team this time.
In addition to a Level 4 teacher, there is also a teaching assistant.
The teaching assistant was none other than Nangong Qianrou, the vice president of the student council.
The teacher was in his early thirties, dark-skinned, thin, and not very tall.
My surname is Song. You can call me Teacher Song or Brother Song, it's fine.
"We will spend the next ten days of training together."
"If you encounter He Fang difficulties, you can ask me for advice."
"Furthermore, you must not leave the team without permission."
"If any unforeseen circumstances force you to leave the team, remember to let me know in advance."
Then, Teacher Song introduced Nangong Qianrou was sitting next to her.
"I probably don't need to say anything more about this one."
"She's much more famous than me at school."
" Nangong was the champion of the last Hundred Schools Competition in singles. He can offer you some suggestions during your training camp this time."
The competition among Hundred Schools Competition first- and second-year students.
In previous years, the main characters were all sophomores who were already in high school.
After all, they had trained for an extra year compared to the freshmen, so their skills were generally stronger.
However, this year's sophomores, who were already considered "veterans," have all fallen into the Abyss.
The protagonist has now become a freshman in college.
This year's Hundred Schools Competition is almost the first-ever competition among freshmen from 100 universities.
Although some second-year students will participate, the number is significantly lower than in previous years.
"My name is Nangong Qianrou, and I'm the coaching assistant for this training camp."
"If you have any questions about the training camp, feel free to ask me." Nangong Qianrou stood up and gave a brief self-introduction.
" Nangong is so pretty," Huai Xu whispered.
Qin Ze glanced at Lu Tongtong sitting opposite him. "I think Tongtong is prettier."
Lu Tongtong, who was looking out the window, saw her face and neck turn red rapidly at a visible speed.
Qin Ze found it very interesting.
This girl was so easily amused.
The bus drove all morning and finally arrived at the location of the training camp.
Shi'an City.
This training camp was conducted simultaneously in five different areas.
As the training ground for the South District, Shi'an City has gathered twenty-two seeded teams from the southern part of the Pan-Continent.
Two days for the meeting to take place.
Formal training will begin the day after tomorrow.
After the bus stopped at the gate of Shi'an City, the City Defense Bureau conducted a thorough inspection before allowing it to pass.
"Something's not right." Qin Ze frowned slightly.
"What's wrong?" Wen Jing asked.
"There are too many soldiers. The defense level is at least A, second only to the scale of defense against the beast tide," Qin Ze replied.
Upon hearing Qin Ze's words, Wen Jing finally noticed this.
He had been preoccupied with the training camp and hadn't paid much attention to his surroundings.
There were several patrol teams of soldiers at the gate, and a sentry every five steps and a scout every ten steps on the city wall.
Every person and every vehicle entering the city must undergo strict inspection.
Sea Capital are not this thorough.
The fat man said, "Could it be because of the training camp?"
"We raised the defense level because we were worried about someone causing trouble."
Qin Ze said calmly, "Perhaps."
But he always felt that things weren't that simple.
Although Shi'an City is not as large as Sea Capital, it is still a sizable industrial city with a considerable population.
Fifty years ago, there were only three mines here.
For ease of mining, and because it was located at a crossroads leading to the Sea Capital, the Alliance decided to build the city here.
After decades of development, Shi'an now has a population of over five million, with a full range of factories and infrastructure.
It can be considered a second-tier city.
Teacher Song led Qin Ze and the others to the training hotel to check in.
Everyone's rooms were along the same corridor, right next to each other.
"You've all been on the road for so long, everyone must be tired. Get some rest."
"Formal training will begin the day after tomorrow."
There's a pep rally tomorrow night, so don't be late.
You're free to do as you please for the next couple of days.
After giving Teacher Song instructions, everyone returned to their rooms.
Qin Ze followed his usual practice, habitually releasing his clones upon arriving at a new location.
This time, the drop-off point was a public restroom outside the hotel.
After sending out hundreds of clones, Qin Ze returned to the hotel to await good news.
The key then began to vibrate.
Qin Ze opened the chat group and found that the guy who had been in seclusion had come out.
[ Catch a Fox Spirit: This Daoist has emerged from seclusion! You all, hurry and come to pay your respects!]
[ Fairies Don't Poop: Oh~ You're still alive? I thought you'd been drained dry by that fox spirit.]
[ Catch a Fox Spirit: Hehehe~ Long time no see, Fairy, did you miss me?]
[ Fairies Don't Poop: I miss you so much]
[ Catch a Fox Spirit: What? You want my balls! Has our relationship gotten to this point?]
[ Fairies Don't Poop:...]
Qin Ze's lips curled up; it was the first time he had ever seen Fairy get her comeuppance in a group chat.
[ Passerby A: Congratulations on your breakthrough, fellow Daoist]
[ Slacking on the Sidelines: Congratulations!]
[ Catch a Fox Spirit: Where did the Scholar go? Quickly compose a poem to congratulate this Daoist master!]
[ Scholar: You and your names will perish, but the rivers and mountains will flow on forever]
[ Catch a Fox Spirit: Not bad, not bad, it describes my reputation as being as vast as an eternal river, I like it very much]
[ Fairies Don't Poop:... You're hopeless]
Qin Ze thought for a moment and then sent a message.
[ Beast Tamer: I've heard that Brother Dao's talismans are very powerful. I wonder how we can trade?]
[ Catch a Fox Spirit: Beast Tamer? Which Circus are you from?]
[ Passerby A: Senior Beast Tamer joined not long ago. We've almost used up all our Divine Travel Talisman. When will you have time to draw some more, Brother Dao?]
[ Catch a Fox Spirit: I drew a bunch of pictures while I was in seclusion, I'll give them to you guys in a bit. Give me your address, that Circus Beast Tamer, and I'll ship them to you.]
[ Beast Tamer: Should I not send this via group chat?]
If it can be sent to living things, then sending a talisman should be no problem either.
[ Catch a Fox Spirit: You pay for the postage?]
Okay, Qin Ze suddenly became rich and forgot that everyone in the group except for Brother Yuanzi was a poor guy.
Qin Ze gave an address in a city next to Shi'an and sent a clone to pick up the package.
The Taoist talismans have a uniform retail price of 0.5 units for ten Source of the World.
Qin Ze bought a hundred in bulk, some with various functions, to try them out and see if they worked well.
[ Catch a Fox Spirit: Thank you, boss, you're so generous!]
[ Catch a Fox Spirit: I don't just sell talismans, I have other services too. Boss, would you like a fox spirit?]
