Chapter 131 Entrance Examination, Jiang Han's Plan
Upon hearing the words "West Bay," Ai Tutu pulled out her phone, scrolled to a news article, and excitedly asked, "I heard that a master hunter was clearing out low-level demons in West Bay a while ago, is that true?"
"I don't know. I only killed a few sirens there. I haven't heard of any hunters cleaning up low-level sirens."
Jiang Han had never heard of any hunter master clearing out low-level sea monsters in West Bay. Could it be that a hunter master was just messing around there? After dinner, Ai Tutu told Jiang Han about the interesting things that had happened at school recently, while Mu Nujiao sat cross-legged on the sofa and cultivated as usual.
Before they knew it, the day of the entrance examination arrived, and the auditorium of the Qing campus was filled with students.
Dean Xiao stood on the stage in the auditorium and said loudly, "I am very pleased to see your growth, but the identity of a magician is inherently dangerous. You must constantly push yourselves to become stronger. Some students have compared the entrance examination of the main campus to a demon hanging over the entire Qing Campus, constantly spurring you on."
"This analogy is accurate, because the real world is far more brutal. To ensure your safety and to provide society with qualified magical talents, the school stipulates that students whose cultivation level has not reached the intermediate mage level are not eligible to participate in the main campus entrance examination. All of you here are the best in your respective departments, and I hope you will achieve excellent results in the upcoming entrance examination."
Jiang Han sat casually in the lower seat. He wasn't supposed to attend this pre-exam pep rally, but for some reason Ai Tutu insisted on dragging him along. Plus, there was a temporary task issued by the system, so Jiang Han came with Ai Tutu and Mu Nujiao.
The temporary task issued by the system was to save Xu Zhaoting during the college entrance examination, and the system reward was three thousand system points, which was not bad.
Dean Xiao was still giving a speech above, while students in the seats below were whispering to each other, exchanging information they knew.
"Hey, did you know? Today's entrance exam is different from previous years; it's been changed."
"What changes? Tell me quickly."
"Hmm, it seems to be related to an unexpected incident that happened off-campus, but I don't know the specifics."
"I hope this year's college entrance exams won't be too difficult. If they are, I'll probably be eliminated."
"What's there to be afraid of? At worst, you can stay at the Qing Campus for another year. Maybe you can even become the king of the Qing Campus."
The conversation between the two caused quite a stir among the students. Jiang Han chuckled and said nothing after hearing it. He still remembered the entrance exam.
"We received news a few days ago that a Shadow Beast that Wei Fang had not yet tamed had escaped. The key to this main campus entrance exam is to capture the Shadow Beast and hand it over to Wei Fang as soon as possible. Don't worry too much; the Shadow Beast has no murderous intent, so don't fear it killing you. Furthermore, the winner of this exam will receive a special reward: the opportunity to train in the Three-Step Tower," Dean Xiao continued.
"Remember, Shadow Beasts have some Shadow-type skills, so chasing them might be a bit troublesome. Good luck."
Upon hearing Dean Xiao say that the winners would have the opportunity to enter the Three-Step Tower for cultivation, the auditorium erupted in excitement. Last time, their opponents were either senior students from the main campus or that monstrous genius Jiang Han, so they had no chance at all. But this time, with only students from their Qing campus participating in this entrance examination, their chances of admission were much higher.
"The winner's reward this time is the opportunity to enter the Three-Step Tower for cultivation! I didn't seize the opportunity last time, so this time I'm determined to enter the Three-Step Tower for cultivation, and no one can take it from me!!"
"Bullshit, everyone who didn't perform well last time is determined to get into the Three-Step Tower this time."
Of course, a quick-witted person also spoke up and asked, "Dean Xiao, could you please provide some clues about the Shadow Beasts?"
"You'll have to find the clues about the Shadow Beast yourselves," Dean Xiao said with a smile.
After the mobilization meeting, Ai Tutu followed behind Mu Nujiao with a worried look on her face. All she could think about was how to find the Shadow Beast in Shanghai. Shanghai is a huge city with countless streets and alleys. Finding the Shadow Beast would be like finding a needle in a haystack.
Oh right, how could I forget about Jiang Han? That guy must know a lot about the Shadow Beasts.
So Ai Tutu ran a few steps to Jiang Han's side, her pair of extremely bouncy jade rabbits swaying so violently that it was dazzling, and said, "Jiang Han, don't you often take on bounty missions? Do you know anything about the Shadow Beast?"
Jiang Han glanced at Ai Tutu, who was full of anticipation, and said calmly, "The Shadow Beast is a special beast that the Guard Department is preparing to tame recently. If it is successfully tamed, the Guard Department may have a special legion comparable to the Sky Eagle Legion in the future. The Guard Department feeds the Shadow Beast beef in order to tame it, so this Shadow Beast has a great fondness for beef."
"In addition, the fur on the tail of the Shadow Beast will emit a faint glow at night, and spring is the season when the Shadow Beast molts. You should check the major cold storage facilities in Shanghai to see if a large amount of beef has been lost recently. You should be able to find something of value."
"However, I still think it's better to wait until someone finds the Shadow Beast and then take action."
"Yes, yes, I'll do whatever you say." Ai Tutu nodded vigorously. Unless she was stupid, she wouldn't refuse Jiang Han's suggestion.
·······
The night in Shanghai is even more beautiful than in Bocheng. The neon lights reflected in the river at night look like colorful ribbons.
In an abandoned meat processing plant, five gray-robed men directed dozens of short, deformed monsters to hide in various corners of the factory. After the traps were set, one of the gray-robed men whispered, "Gray Four, you stay outside. Signal us as soon as the target appears."
"Yes." The man called Gray Four immediately slipped outside the factory and hid.
After Gray Four left, the gray-robed man continued, "Take down the target, and remember to keep him alive. You know the consequences if you fail."
Unbeknownst to them, their presence had already been discovered, and a man and a woman were slowly approaching from outside the factory.
When they were still some distance from the factory, the man in the purple clothes took out his phone and dialed a number.
"Jiang Han, I've found the person from Black Pepper Listening. They're located at the XX Meat Processing Plant in the New District. If you want to come over, hurry up."
"Stay where you are and wait for me for two minutes. I'll be right there. Don't be reckless and ruin the plan."
After hanging up the phone at home, Jiang Han hurriedly put on a coat and went out. This afternoon, Jiang Han went to see Xu Zhaoting and told him that the Black Vatican planned to target the students in this entrance examination. He asked Xu Zhaoting to notify him immediately if he found any trace of Black Pepper. That's how the conversation between the two just happened.
To save time, Jiang Han used his consciousness to connect with the Winged Magic Tool as soon as he left the apartment building. His wings unfolded and he flew rapidly toward the place Xu Zhaoting had mentioned. To avoid being discovered by Black Pepper in the factory, Jiang Han landed not far from the abandoned factory.
Seeing Jiang Han arrive, Xu Zhaoting breathed a slight sigh of relief; he wasn't very confident going in alone.
"Lulu, you stay outside and watch over me while Jiang Han and I go in and deal with those bastards from Black Pepper," Xu Zhaoting said, turning to the girl who had come with him.
Zhang Lulu said with a worried expression, "Zhaoting, those deformed black monkey-like monsters are a bit scary. Maybe you shouldn't go in. Let's notify the Inquisition to handle it."
