Chapter 164 Nie Chengkong
The bus of the Phoenix Peak Academy was being escorted by several veteran professors, including Cheng Shuanglin. They could have asked more of their advanced professors to join. But most of these people had gone to the Mysterious Realm either alone or with their respective settler teams.
If Su Ping were there, he would easily recognize several familiar faces apart from his sister, such as his “top custor” Zhang Baoxing, who managed to earn a ticket all thanks to the Pyro Canine.
Then there was Lu Pengfei, who was already a famous student that always landed at a nice spot on the academy’s ranking list. He had displayed an unnatural improvent during the annual matches, after which his teacher granted him an allowance and sent him there.
Su Yanying was with them, which was to be expected since she was basically the brightest “star” in the academy apart from Ye Hao.
Her friend Lan Lele didn’t tag along this ti because Lan Lele’s family thought the expedition to be too dangerous to their liking. Lan Lele did have a good pet, but she wasn’t so good at fighting. As a matter of fact, Lan Lele chose to beco a battle pet warrior student just to avoid being appointed as a manager of her family’s boring company instead. However, after spending so ti at the Phoenix Peak Academy, she found out that inheriting the family business was actually the rrier choice.
Since “Ye Hao the Champion” didn’t join the trip, Su Yanying naturally beca the center of everyone’s attention.
“This road is reserved for expeditionists like us, right?” a student asked, “Why are there so many private cars going the sa way?” Cheng Shuanglin explained with a smile, “Those aren’t private, my friend. See their plates? They are specialized cars used by settlers. Civilians don’t have access to them. Be sure to show so respect if you are to et with any of them.”
“I see!” All the students appeared excited for going to the barrens for the first ti in their lives.
Su Lingyue grinned proudly as she almost had the sa answer Cheng Shuanglin offered.
“But there are so many of them.”
“Tsk. I heard that many older students already found part-ti work in barren areas.”
“Are any of them with these professional settlers, I wonder?”
“Hey, look at that one! It’s different from the others.”
Hearing those words, the students looked outside and saw a black SUV which was slightly bigger than the “ordinary model.” And with different decorations.
Cheng Shuanglin also looked that way. She said with a serious look, “That’s a ‘T-3 Battlefort’, a premium model that costs a ton. Only silver settlers or gold ones can afford that thing.”
The students grew restless again. They were all briefed with relevant knowledge before coming, so they didn’t accidentally offend influential people at the settler base.
“Silver settlers, huh?” Su Lingyue looked at said car carefully and wondered who was inside. She couldn’t see through the car windows.
“Phoenix Peak?” Su Ping checked the bus not far from his position and wondered how many students were in there. He was sure that his dear sister was among the chosen students as well.
Though he didn’t get to look at the bus for much ti before their SUV left it far behind.
Su Ping wasn’t worried about his sister’s safety. He believed that the improved Phantom Fla Beast, added with the “Aquatic Blessing,” were enough to get the girl out of trouble. If Su Lingyue still got hurt, it had to be sothing he had no control over.
They reached the outer checkpoint soon and slowed down. A lot of SUVs and “school buses” were ahead of them waiting to be inspected.
When it was their turn, Ye Chenshan showed his golden badge and was granted passage right away.
They picked up speed after passing through the checkpoint, allowing them to put several more buses behind their tail. On their way, Su Ping saw a bus that belonged to the Berserking Blade Academy, as well as several faces he recognized sitting in the bus, such as Dai Yan and the big man with a bear pet.
For so reason, Luo Fengtian was not there.
Upon arriving at the settler base, Su Ping was a bit surprised to see that the entrance was as crowded and busy as a wet market. Apparently, many settlers who were heading to the Mysterious Realm had to go through there. There were too many cars jamming the flow.
Bit by bit, Ye Chenshan drove away from the crowded path and headed to an independent villa built inside the settler base.
There were several cars of the sa size parked in front of the building, which told Su Ping that Ye Chenshan’s team was indeed well-off.
A group of low-rank battle pet warriors was guarding the entrance, who were probably there to earn so quick cash.
It happened that settlers who used the base as their second hos always needed assistants and errand runners. People who graduated from smaller schools could easily gather so starting funds by working there.
The guards politely greeted Ye Chenshan and carefully glanced at Su Ping to morize his face. After spending several years at the base, all of them had learned they had to know how to tell people they couldn’t ss with. In this place, angry settlers murdering disrespectful people happened almost everyday.
While it was true that settlers were pretty generous when paying their “employees,” these employees had to stay alive to bring their money back.
After going through the entrance and walking past a few courteous servants, Su Ping saw several n sitting on sofas talking loudly in the middle of the living room, while no one was paying any attention to the flashy movie displayed inside an expensive screen.
“Guys, our helper is here!” Ye Chenshan called, making the speakers look his way.
One of the mbers, Luo Guxue, showed a joyful look and quickly went to et Su Ping. “Hello, Professor Su!”
The others weren’t expecting her to act that way, even though they had heard about how Su Ping had saved her life before.
Su Ping returned the courtesy and asked, “You’re going as well?” “Of course. I’m with Team Polaris after all.” Luo Guxue was blushing as she spoke, because she thought she would only be a burden if Su Ping was there.
Unfortunately, Ye Chenshan read her reaction in the wrong way. He thought this woman was fond of Su Ping. And he felt annoyed, because Luo Guxue was the only “available woman” in the team.
Still, he was in no place to judge.
anwhile, Su Ping was assessing the other team mbers. The sa went both ways.
“Boss.” Ye Chenshan walked ahead and addressed a muscular, middle-aged man.
This man wasn’t exactly big, but his build looked perfectly refined, while those chunks of his seed to pack so serious strength.
He nodded to Ye Chanshan and spoke to Su Ping with a smile, “You’re the ‘big savior’ Chenshan and Guxue told us about, no? I’ve always wanted to thank you, my friend. Otherwise, our team would have lost not one but two valuable fighters.”
He reached out with his hand; Su Ping accepted the gesture and shook it. Even though Luo Guxue told her team about Su Ping’s exceptionally young age many tis as a precaution, seeing Su Ping in person still shocked the other mbers for good. No one would believe it if sobody told them about a genius who was barely an adult surpassing seasoned battle pet warriors with ease.
A teenager who had killed an eighth-rank Magical Corpse Beast? That was beyond impressive. It was terrifying.
If soone so young entered the Elite Pet Warrior League, he would surely make it all the way to the continental gas with a good score.
Ye Chenshan proceeded with a proper introduction. “Boss, this is Mister Su, the shopkeeper I told you about. I guess I don’t have to tell you again how he saved and Luo Guxue, right? And Mister Su, this here is Nie Chengkong, our team leader, a renowned eighth-rank pet master.”
