Throughout the entire morning of lessons, Jiang Nan could feel sharp, piercing gazes sweeping across his back again and again.
Fortunately, nobody actually wanted to beat him until he cried.
After all, he had not done it on purpose, but they were still furious!
[Resentment value from…]
The resentment counter would probably keep rising until their new hair grew back!
Seeing that no one was hitting him, Jiang Nan quietly breathed a sigh of relief and did not dare utter a single word all morning.
He had thought he could spend the morning in peace.
Unexpectedly, during the first break, several menacing senior girls stormed over and stuck their heads through the window!
Senior girl: (ꐦ^ᴗ^)
“Is Jiang Nan in the class? Your seniors need to have a word with him! Holy…!”
When they saw the muscular amazon girls inside the classroom, the seniors were genuinely terrified!
Jiang Nan: !!!
Isn’t this the same senior who got kidnapped by Night Demon last time?
Why is your smile so creepy?
This is bad! Very bad!
While nobody was looking, Jiang Nan quickly lay flat on the desk, pulled out an Elf Pudding, and stuffed it in his mouth!
As soon as the senior asked, every pair of eyes in the classroom instantly locked onto him!
The senior froze!
Why is there a Teletubby attending lessons in this class?
What kind of weird creatures are in this room?
Then she remembered, Jiang Nan had worn one during the All-Star tournament too, right?
Hehehe, still trying to hide?
She flashed her little fangs. “Little junior! Your seniors have missed you so much these past few days! Come here! Let us love you properly!”
With that, she charged in and grabbed his antennae!
“Senior! Didn’t you come to find Jiang Nan? Why are you pulling my antennae?”
“This is very rude!”
A sweet female voice came from inside the suit, and the senior was stunned!
A girl? How is it a girl?
The senior gaped. “You… you’re not Jiang Nan?”
The Teletubby put its hands on its hips!
“You’re looking for Jiang Nan!”
“What does looking for Jiang Nan have to do with me, a Teletubby?”
Senior: ???
“Then where’s Jiang Nan?”
“Look, that’s Nan Shen’s seat over there. It’s been empty all morning. How would I know!”
“Senior! If you keep pulling my antennae, this baby is going to get angry!”
A slightly angry but still sweet female voice rang out!
The senior immediately let go and scratched her head. “Sorry about that, little junior sister! I got the wrong person!”
She walked away, completely confused!
At this moment, the ordinary girls in the class were dumbfounded!
What is going on!
There’s actually a girl inside the Teletubby suit? It’s not Jiang Nan?
Then where did Jiang Nan go?
Don’t tell me he really was taken by Night Demon!
Xia Yao and Zhong Yingxue sniggered quietly. Are you seriously this clever?
Qi Yu and Qin Shou, whose half his face was still swollen, both looked deeply impressed!
Only Nan Shen knows how to survive! Male one moment, female the next?
Slippery as an eel!
…
Before anyone realised, the academy forum had already reached the fourth mysterious incident!
Title: The Third of the Academy’s Seven Great Inexplicable Events! The Grudge of the Fallen Girl!
Content: Over a hundred pairs of slippers vanished from the girls’ dorm without a trace!
Is the fallen girl searching for the feet she lost?
Jiang Nan covered his face!
You’re the real fallen girl here!
Which absolute genius came up with this? Drag them out and execute them!
Title: The Fourth of the Academy’s Seven Great Inexplicable Events! Class 10’s Headless Knights!
Why did ten girls turn into muscular Barbies overnight! Why do they wear knight helmets!
They eat, drink, sleep, even go to the toilet without removing the helmets!
Anyone who tries to peek at their faces receives fierce resistance and a beating!
What earth-shattering secret lies beneath those helmets!
Do they… actually have heads?
Jiang Nan: pfft(ŎεŎ‧̣̥̇)
Of course they have bloody heads!
You want to lift their helmets to check?
No wonder they beat you!
The earth-shattering secret under the helmets?
Heh, it’s just forest desertification, that’s all!
Principal’s office!
Xiao Chuohuo sat in front of his computer, so worried he was close to pulling out all his white hair!
Why can’t there be a single peaceful day?
In just three days, four incidents already?
What sin have I committed? Is my 91-year catastrophe really this ferocious?
Two days passed in a flash, and Friday arrived!
Everyone had assumed the afternoon would be practical combat training!
But Tao Xinyi smiled. “Every Friday afternoon through Sunday, there are no classes!”
“I mentioned field missions before! During this period you can decide for yourselves whether to take external missions and earn contribution points!”
“If you don’t take missions, you can also stay in the academy and train!”
Instantly everyone perked up!
However, Jiang Nan had zero interest!
He had already planned in his little head where to set up his stall later!
Zhong Yingxue, Xia Yao and the others were preparing to spend a fulfilling weekend in the training facilities!
After all, Jiang Nan had said that members of their team never needed to worry about contribution points!
But the other students were not so lucky! Using training facilities outside class time cost contribution points!
And what contribution points did a bunch of newbies have?
Tao Xinyi smiled. “There’s a mission hall app on your teaching tablets! Open it and you’ll see all the missions released by the academy!”
“Remember to act within your capabilities!”
Although Jiang Nan had no intention of doing field work, he still opened the mission software!
There were thousands of missions, neatly sorted by difficulty!
Publishers included Dragon Abyss Dark Night, the Spirit Martial Association, the academy itself, and even some civilian organisations!
Rewards were not limited to contribution points, there were also cash and spirit beads!
Anything below S-rank was mostly spirit ruin exploration: mining, gathering spiritual plants, hunting spirit beasts, etc.
S-rank and above got serious: searching for spirit cores, exploring unknown ruins, escorting researchers, all sorts of high-difficulty tasks!
Some even required going abroad!
Jiang Nan even spotted a Matchless-rank mission!
Go to the ancient Loulan ruins to find some lost Holy Grail spirit core?
What the hell!
Do you need exactly seven people to carry it out? And only the last survivor gets the Grail?
But the reward was equally jaw-dropping!
A Starshine-grade spirit bead, can you imagine?
Jiang Nan scrolled and scrolled, looking for anything that paid big money!
Three to five hundred million wouldn’t be out of the question, right?
Just then, Zhong Yingxue looked grave. “Xiao Nan! We have to go out this weekend!”
Xia Yao’s eyes were red. “We absolutely have to go!”
Wu Liang gritted his teeth. “Nan-ge! Let’s get ready to move out! If we’re late we might not make it!”
Jiang Nan was stunned!
Didn’t we agree to stay in the academy all weekend? We were even going to visit Rongcheng for fun!
Why the sudden change?
“What’s happening?”
Zhong Yingxue swiped her tablet, and Jiang Nan immediately received an email!
He opened it!
S-rank mission! (Red alert level!)
Thousand Island Lake Spirit Ruin (Silver-grade spirit ruin!)
Spirit surge incident! Spirit energy concentration skyrocketing!
Cause unknown, suspected spirit core mutation!
Large numbers of silver-grade spirit beasts on the islands have advanced to gold or higher!
Situation in the lake itself not yet investigated!
Spirit beasts possess extremely strong territorial awareness. Massive upgrades have triggered territorial wars and a spirit beast riot!
Thousand Island Lake Spirit Ruin is completely out of control!
Mission objectives:
1. Assist Spirit Martial Association personnel in rescuing trapped spirit warriors and students!
2. Clear gold-grade spirit beasts on the islands and in the lake! Regain control of the situation!
3. Locate spirit core fragments! Investigate the cause of the spirit surge!
…
Required participants: 100/71 (Gold rank)
Rewards: …
Jiang Nan’s scalp went numb!
Something happened at Thousand Island Lake Spirit Ruin?
Wasn’t that the ruin he visited during the provincial All-Star tournament?
Spirit surge? Clear gold-grade spirit beasts!
Jiang Nan shot to his feet, face full of worry. “Xiong Er!”
He can’t let anyone clear him out, right?
The detailed circumstances, cause, and on-site situation were not listed in the file!
It seemed they would only learn more once they arrived!
The group exchanged glances. There was no hesitation. They signed up immediately!
Yu Qingqing and the others did the same without pause!
After all, it was the spirit ruin near their hometown! Of course they had to go back and help!
Qin Shou’s face turned green. “I… I’ll sit this one out, yeah?”
My infamous ghost-livestream is still circulating online right now!
Thousand Island Lake? That’s my lifelong nightmare!
Every UP主 in the ghost-video section would call me their ancestor if they saw me!
