Chapter 96 Liaison Office
Helian Ye was not envious of Chu Xuange at all.
Previously, his teacher went to attend a banquet at the Lord's Mansion in the main city of the wandering city and entrusted him to Rune.
Those short four hours almost became a source of trauma for him.
Who in their right mind would train trainees to compete bare-handed against an ultimate hungry wolf whose eyes are glowing green after being starved for more than ten days?
The key is that you can't use attack skills!
Injuring the hungry wolf will also be held accountable by Rune.
It's terrifying! First, you'll be chased and killed by wolves. If you can't escape and hurt the wolves, they'll come after you for your money!
Helian Ye felt like dying when he thought about Lu En taking the bill to his teacher.
"Then you can skip one less day of class."
Pei Hening realized after she finished speaking that she had forgotten to ask for leave!
"You two chat, I'll go find Xixia to ask for leave, I'm going to the main city of Wanderers tomorrow."
Chu Xuange nodded: "Go ahead."
——
Pei Hening quickly went to look for the person, but found nothing on the floating island.
When she left the floating island, she ran into Shuxiao, who was standing in front of Pingyuan and talking to her.
Pei Hening paused slightly. Should she ask Shuxiao to help her ask for leave?
As she walked toward them, she overheard someone say, "If you're still so impulsive, I'll go back and give your box of friendship feathers to each of the school teachers, one for each of them."
Ping wished the sky would fall, but she was still just a child!
She said listlessly, "I was wrong! Please don't do this!"
Shuxiao ignored her and turned her gaze to Pei Hening: "A student from West Asia? You want to see me?"
"I want to ask Ms. Cici for leave, but I can't find her. Do you know where she is?"
Shuxiao: "You want me to help you ask for leave?"
Pei Hening's eyes lit up: "Really? Teacher?"
Shuxiao said in a light tone, "No, you can, but you can go to the liaison office to contact Xixia."
Pingyuan immediately said, "Come on, let me take you to the liaison room."
She grabbed Pei Hening's hand and ran towards the liaison room: "Thank goodness you came, otherwise I would have been scolded again."
"What's your relationship with Teacher Shuxiao? I get the feeling you're afraid of her."
Pingyuan grumbled unhappily, "Who isn't afraid of her? Even after being beaten, she's still so powerful. My older sister can't beat her, so what can I do?"
"Nerfed? What was nerfed?"
"It's their strength, what else could it be? Apparently, they went too far once."
Pingyuan pointed to the sign that read "Liaison Office": "Look, this is the liaison office. You can contact all the teachers working at the school. Go ahead."
Pei Hening pushed open the door and went in. Looking at the densely packed list of teachers, she couldn't help but be shocked. She thought that the number of teachers she had encountered during the assessment was already enough, but she didn't expect that the number of teachers was less than one percent of the school's teachers.
If all the school teachers came to teach classes and attend assessments, it would be incredibly lively.
She found Sicily's contact number and contacted her.
"Hello, this is Assistant Xixia 823786, please speak."
Pei Hening paused for a moment: "823786, you can talk?"
There was a moment of silence on the other end, then someone pretended not to hear: "Student, please speak."
"823786, why didn't you come to my class yesterday? Were you ashamed of losing to me?"
823786:...
823786 asked: "Is there anything else?"
"I'd like to take the day off tomorrow and go on a day trip to the main city of Wandering."
823786: "Okay, I will pass it on."
After losing contact, Pei Hening left the communication room to find Chu Xuange.
Right now, the Highway School Channel is quite lively.
[Tatsuko Makino]: @Frank, where are you now? I have something to give you.
[Hanada Chiko]: You would be so kind?
[Princess Doris]: She would, because I would be just as kind. @Frank, where are you?
[HXWHKL]: Why are you all looking for him? Susan and Barbara are both looking for him.
[Susan]: @Frank, I've prepared a gift for you.
[Fire the boss]: Did that idiot do something stupid again?
[Megsil]: He cooked a pot of soup that could increase attribute points for the players to drink, and then asked them to rate it.
[Fire the boss]: Isn't that a good thing?
[Megsil]: Hehe, it's pretty good, and it does add attribute points, but who can stand randomly getting negative status effects?
[Fire the boss]: hhhhhh
[Frank]: Brothers and sisters, I was really wrong, please forgive me.jpg
[Frank]: It's not a problem with my soup. I drank the soup I made, and it was fine. Could it be a misunderstanding?
[Susan]: Yes, it was a misunderstanding, little brother. Tell me where you are? I'll bring you some supplies to comfort you.
[Barbara]: It's okay, little brother. We know you meant well and we won't be angry with you.
[Frank]: Really?
[Elisa]: Of course it's true, why would we lie to you?
[Frank]: I was in the flower pavilion next to the library.
Pei Hening glanced at their chat history and realized she was right; the little foreigner was indeed Frank.
These people are really bold; they dared to drink that dark, ominous soup.
However, she felt that the foreigner had been tricked.
After a short while, the group started chatting again.
[Tatsuko Makino]: Are you lying? @Frank
[Barbara]: Little brother, why aren't you at the flower pavilion? I've looked for you twice already.
[Susan]: Yeah, you don't want to see the older sisters, do you?
[HXWHKL]: I'm dying of laughter. I just saw him drive away in a hurry in the parking lot.
[Hooking me up just to learn English]: You used all your limited intelligence to deal with you guys, lol.
[As helpless as a dog]: Hahahahahahaha.
[As helpless as a dog]: If he used that intelligence on studying~ hahahahahaha.
[Frank]: I'm sorry, I don't think the weather is suitable for receiving gifts today. Thank you for your kindness, sisters, I'll accept them later.
[Frank]: Yes, I'm going back to the highway now.
[Princess Doris]: You slipped away so fast! I thought I'd see them capture you and put you in a ring.
[Frank]: Sliding on his knees.jpg
[Frank]: Titien said that I am actually very talented, and the negative effect is just a little bit of a minor side effect.
[In good spirits]: Still being stubborn?
[Invincible Ice Cola]: Actually, it's a provocation. I already guessed the scene where this kid would get caught.
[Prince Ivan]: Actually, Frank is right. It's just a little bit of a negative effect. If you can't stand it, don't be tempted by his soup.
[Barbara]: Shared status "Moderate poisoning - food poisoning"
"Moderate Poisoning - Food Poisoning": A continuous blood loss effect caused by consuming unhealthy food, deducting three health points per second. Additional effect: Skin color upon poisoning.
[Barbara]: @Prince Ivan, look at this effect!
When Pei Hening found Chu Xuange, he was standing alone by the pond, breaking off a branch to tease the colorful little fish in the water.
"Where's Aye? Wasn't he just here? I was thinking of talking to him about going to the main city of wanderers tomorrow."
Chu Xuange looked up at Pei Hening, his expression natural: "I was called back to class."
"Have you taken the leave?"
Pei Hening frowned when she thought of 823786: "It should be arranged."
Chu Xuange put away the branch he was holding, stood beside her, and asked, "So where do we go next?"
"Let's find a study room and read for a while. How much of that book I gave you have you read?"
Chu Xuange: "There's only a little bit left to watch, it should take about twenty minutes."
Pei Hening glanced at the time; it was still early. After reading it, she could give the book to [Falcon].
The two found a study room to read, unaware that [Makino Tatsuko] was currently asking other students about Chu Xuange.
"Never seen him before? How could that be! He's clearly from our school too."
"Is this the first time we've met?"
"What does'stay-at-home' mean? Does he look like a stay-at-home person?"
It was still early when Chu Xuange finished reading the book.
"Let's figure out a way to get this thing to [Falcon].
Chu Xuange put the book away: "Just send an anonymous letter."
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Pei Hening stopped interfering.
——
Twenty-nine days of survival on the highway.
Six o'clock in the morning.
"Hello, player [DibiDibi]. Player [Mental State in Good Condition] invites you to participate in the 'Wandering Main City Day Trip' event. Do you/Do you wish to participate?"
Pei Hening decisively clicked "yes".
The next second, she was teleported to a small crystal sightseeing car, where Chu Xuange and Helian Ye were also present.
In the driver's seat was a round-headed robot, while Helian Ye sat in the passenger seat.
Pei Hening and Chu Xuange sat in the back row, and he habitually took her hand.
"This car is pretty good; the heat insulation is excellent."
Pei Hening, who had never seen the world, couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
This sentence seemed to trigger some keyword, and a mechanical chick that had been quietly serving as a car decoration suddenly flapped its wings and flew over.
It proactively introduced, "This tourist has good taste. This is a new heat-insulating crystal developed by our company. No matter if it's 500 degrees Celsius outside or -500 degrees Celsius outside, it won't affect the temperature inside the car."
"Mass production is expected to begin next month, and price will no longer be an obstacle to your high-quality life."
This advertisement is quite exaggerated...
Pei Hening raised an eyebrow and asked, "Insulated crystal? What's your pre-sale price?"
The mechanical chick tilted its head: "The price offered by headquarters is 1,000 gold coins per cubic meter."
Helian Ye couldn't help but click his tongue: "Isn't this a stumbling block? The price is even higher than some skills..."
Pei Hening couldn't help but nod; the price was indeed too high. She had money, but she didn't want to spend it on this.
Chu Xuange sat quietly beside Pei Hening, holding her hand and unconsciously playing with her bracelet.
Pei Hening: "The one-day pass shouldn't have any restrictions on the areas you can visit, right?"
Helian Ye: No, we were worried that we would have to take the sightseeing bus back, and the last sightseeing bus is at 4 pm.
Pei Hening turned to look at the scenery outside; they had already left the deserted highway.
There were already people around; she even saw food delivery robots and a bustling street scene.
The further they went into the main city of the wanderers, the more diverse the creatures became. To Pei Hening's surprise, every creature was beautiful, just in a different way.
As the vegetation coverage increased, Pei He was quietly admiring the beautiful scenery when she unexpectedly overheard someone say, "If you don't have money, why are you pretending!"
She looked in the direction of the sound and saw a restaurant.
A round, plump creature was shoved out, saying, "It's not like I'm not going to pay! I'm just putting it on the tab and settling the bill next time."
It had barely finished speaking when it was swallowed whole by the shop owner's ornamental plant...
Did they dine and dash?
Helian Ye was stunned. He never expected that these seemingly harmless plants could actually swallow that free-rider whole. "Wow, these plants are really not to be trifled with!"
He quickly said, "He Ning, you really need to lend me some money later. Who knows if there are any hidden fees inside? I don't want to be fed plants."
The mechanical chick chick interjected: "Article 729 of the laws of the Wandering City states that any form of 'dining for free' is strictly prohibited within the jurisdiction of the Wandering City. Once discovered, the restaurant has the full authority to handle the matter according to the regulations, and such behavior is explicitly protected by the laws of the city."
Pei Hening's eyes flickered: "I'm not interested in the heat-insulating crystal you mentioned, but do you sell it?"
The mechanical chick short-circuited; it was trying to understand what the passenger meant.
Once it understood, it quickly flew away, its mechanical wings leaving afterimages: "I am not for sale! Not for sale! Not for sale!"
Helian Ye: "Too noisy, little chick."
The mechanical chick seemed insulted: "I'm not a chick, I'm a rainbow bird!"
"Little Chicken, where should we look for information about the laws of the main city of wanderers?"
The mechanical chick's internal spring was burning hot: "You need to purchase the Wandering City Codex, but you are not residents of the Wandering City, so they won't sell it to you. Also, I am not a chick."
Pei Hening leaned against Chu Xuange and chuckled. Who invented this little gadget? It's really interesting.
"Little chick, are you really not selling? I'm more interested in you than the things you're trying to sell."
"Not for sale! Not for sale! Not for sale! It's not a chick."
Helian Ye waved his hand: "Forget it, you're too noisy, like a defective product. Forget it, it's not worth wasting money on."
The mechanical chick stopped, its wings stopped flapping, was it noisy?
While Helian Ye and the chicken were bickering, the sightseeing bus arrived at the city gate of the main city of the wandering city.
The three got out of the car, and Pei Hening was stunned by the building in front of her when she looked up.
The towering walls of the Wandering City stand like mountains, adorned with its ancient flags, their mysterious runes fluttering in the wind.
There were also guards in neat uniforms and with their faces covered patrolling around, creating an overwhelming and majestic atmosphere.
Just by looking at this setup, you can tell this place is no ordinary place.
Helian Ye hurriedly pulled Chu Xuange aside, exclaiming in amazement, "My goodness! I never imagined that the main city of the Wanderers would be so magnificent! I've truly broadened my horizons! Why didn't we build a building like this back then?"
Chu Xuange looked at his hand with a chill in his eyes.
Helian Ye met his disdainful gaze and decisively withdrew his hand. This kid! He has no humanity when it comes to women!
Chu Xuange led Pei Hening by the hand and walked towards the place where they paid the city entrance fee.
Several living beings were lined up in front of them.
Pei Hening tugged at his sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Do people of other races also have to pay an entrance fee to enter the main city of wanderers?"
Chu Xuange nodded: "Yes, everyone except the residents of the main city who are wandering around has to pay an entrance fee. They don't care about your identity."
