Chapter 69 - Into the Wilderness

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Hearing this, Xu Ling’s face turned incomparably red.

How could she not know that Instructor Shen had seen what they were doing in the wilderness? For a moment, she was so ashamed that she wanted to find a hole to hide in.

“Instructor, it’s not what you think. Zhou Hao and I are just… we’re just ordinary friends!” she explained with a flushed face.

Instructor Shen immediately said, “I know, I know!”

With that said, he laughed out loud.

Principal Zheng and the dean also laughed.

…

At the Yanjing Training Camp.

Head Instructor Cheng sat in front of the electronic screen and sighed as he waited for the system notification.

“This Little Shen is too persistent. Doesn’t he understand that geniuses need to be nurtured slowly?” he muttered to himself.

He knew very well the reason why Shen Jing went to Huadong City. It was undoubtedly because Shen Jing felt that after staying in the Yanjing Training Camp for so long, all kinds of problems had accumulated and could not be resolved. Therefore, he wanted to start afresh and build a new training camp.

It was also because of this that Head Instructor Cheng did his best to take care of Shen Jing’s various needs.

But now, it seemed that Shen Jing was still too impatient and had the same problem as most geniuses in the training camp.

Di.

Suddenly, an electronic voice sounded. “According to the system’s examination, the newbie at Qu City High School has broken the record without any abnormal data. This record is valid!”

Hearing this, Head Instructor Cheng was stunned.

…

On the first day of the virtual combat training, Xu Ling and Zhou Hao had stolen the limelight. However, Zhou Hao did not care, and Xu Ling was so embarrassed by Instructor Shen’s words that she did not dare to face anyone.

As soon as school ended, she ignored Zhou Hao and left the school.

Moreover, for several days straight, Xu Ling did not say a word to Zhou Hao, as if she did not know him.

At the southern defense line of the city, in the wilderness area.

A large number of general-level demon beasts and insect beasts fled for their lives like boiling ants in a hot pot.

The red-armored Zhou Hao shook his head helplessly.

Zhou Hao habitually glanced at the virtual screen.

Luck Points: 837,100 (Current level: overwhelming luck)

For the past few days, he would go to the wilderness area to kill all kinds of demon generals and insect beasts after school every day, but his luck points accumulation speed had always been very slow.

The main reason was that he was too strong and he was killing too many demon beasts too quickly, causing a large number of high-level demon generals and intermediate-level demon generals to flee crazily from the wilderness, leaving only a pile of low-level demon generals behind.

“I still need more than 100,000 to accumulate 1,000,000 luck points!” Zhou Hao opened the shop section and looked at the silver mystery box page. He was hesitant about opening the mystery box. After all, judging from the situation, it would probably take a while for him to accumulate 1,000,000 luck points.

After hesitating for a while, he finally gave up on consuming his luck points to open the silver mystery box.

If he wanted to get something better, he had to be patient.

“I should still level up first!”

Thinking of this, Zhou Hao clicked on his personal page and looked at it.

Level: 11730 / 10,000,000 (Silver)

He immediately charged 50 million yuan.

The balance in his account immediately became: 510,000 Heaven Dao coins.

Although it seemed like there was a lot of Heaven Dao coins, the amount was actually not even enough for him to purchase a hundred silver mystery boxes.

In just a short while, Zhou Hao had opened ten consecutive silver mystery boxes. As expected, almost all of them contained roses or Heaven Dao coins.

However, the minimum number of roses in the silver mystery box was 50 roses.

“This software is indeed very scammy!” He sighed helplessly. If not for the luck points, he would definitely be scammed like the other users.

He didn’t get anything good even after repeated attempts.

Zhou Hao simply stopped. Although he wanted to increase his level, he couldn’t waste money like this. After all, he had worked hard to get this money.

He turned around and jumped down from a tree. Looking at the distant wilderness, he couldn’t help but shake his head, thinking to himself that he would have to go deeper into the wilderness in the next few days.

…

At the military headquarters at the East Station of the Huadong City.

“What? Senior Zhou, you want to go deep into the wilderness?” Commander Zhao immediately turned anxious when he heard Zhou Hao.

Zhou Hao was stunned for a moment. “Commander Zhao, is there something wrong?”

Commander Zhao hurriedly said, “Senior Zhou, the depths of the wilderness area are incomparably terrifying. There are a large number of overlord-level demon beasts and insect beasts there, as well as experts from the Machine Race. It’s too dangerous for you to wander alone!”

“Commander Zhao, I know what to do. As long as you can provide me with a clear map, I’ll bypass those dangerous areas!” Zhou Hao frowned.

“Senior Zhou, if we had a clear map, I would have provided it to you long ago. However, it is precisely because the depths of the wilderness area are too dangerous and there are year-round energy barriers that our detectors are unable to make any detections. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the deeper areas are prohibited,” Commander Zhao explained.

With that said, he paused and continued, “Of course, it’s not impossible for Senior Zhou to go deeper. You can transfer to Huanan City. It’s said that some dangerous areas have been detected there.”

Zhou Hao shook his head when he heard that. “Huanan City is too far away. In that case, forget it.”

Commander Zhao immediately heaved a sigh of relief. He did not want Zhou Hao to go to Huanan City. After all, the benefits of having such an expert stay in the Huadong City was obvious. Ignoring everything else, just Zhou Hao’s mass killing of foreign beasts in the wilderness this time had relieved the pressure on many martial artist teams.

“By the way, Commander Zhao, why haven’t I seen any other grandmasters recently?” Zhou Hao asked..
