Chapter 210: Teamwork, Crossing the Lake! (Second Update)

Chapter 210: Teamwork, Crossing the Lake! (Second Update)

The sky of the New World was even bluer than Planet Aquamarine.

The air was filled with rich spiritual energy. Be it sprites or humans, when they came here, they couldn’t help but… take a deep breath of fresh air.

It reminded Su Hao of someone selling air in the name of the New World last year.

He was clearly a scammer.

People who could freely enter and exit the New World wouldn’t be interested in such little money.

“Besides, air can be stored in bottles, but spiritual energy can’t. It would have long dissipated.”

…

Whale State City was very prosperous. It was the most prosperous New World city Su Hao had ever seen.

It was also very lively.

There were not only students and instructors from the school, but also some external teams.

Su Hao saw that there were many companies’ branches in Whale State City.

For example, Green Shade Group, which existed everywhere, and Red Lotus Mining Group, which were both giant corporations, had spread their business everywhere.

The instructor brought them out of the entrance hall. When they arrived at a bustling street, the instructor turned around and said to them, “I’ll give you ten minutes. You can buy supplies or do other things now. Gather here in ten minutes.”

“Those who are late…” He paused for a moment. “Your credits will be deducted. Five credits will be deducted per minute you are late. ”

Many students clearly forgot to bring some necessities, or thought that the school would have distributed them.

When they heard this, they were stunned for a few seconds before quickly running towards those shops.

Su Hao also looked over. There were quite a variety of items for sale at the surrounding shops.

Daily necessities.

Jade powder and materials.

There were also rare items that couldn’t be bought in the outside world.

But the price…

Su Hao noticed that it was basically two to three times that of the outside world.

If it was bought with credits or points, the price would be the same, but…

“Why is it so expensive?” Some students were dumbfounded.

However, they were sneered at and mocked by others. “You’ve never been to the New World? Don’t you know there’s a border tax? The prices are definitely more expensive than those outside!”

The instructor also said, “It’s your problem that you did not manage to find out in advance and bring the necessities before participating in the collective training. You have to bear the corresponding consequences.”

“Now, you have the opportunity to spend two to three times the amount of money to buy necessities, but in the future, if you forget to bring them along, there might be no chance of making up for it!

“You might lose your lives because of a little negligence!”

Ten minutes wasn’t much time. Su Hao also seized the opportunity to stroll around and sweep through the local specialties of Whale State City.

He discovered…

Well, seafood… There was especially a lot of lake food, so he was a little hungry.

“I’ll buy it for you when I go back.”

He flicked the little rascal’s forehead.

Butterfly hugged its head and fell into deep thought.

How did Su Hao know that I wanted to eat, gurgle ~?

Ten minutes later…

The team gathered again. A group of people and a large group of sprites walked out of the city under the watch of the seniors.

…

After leaving the city, the first thing Su Hao saw was the endless blue waves, the endless… lake surface!

Like the sea!

“What you’re seeing is the famous Dragon Court Lake.”

Water-element, Instructor Ma, whom Su Hao recognized, said, “In the New World, not all areas have rich resources, but fortunately, the Dragon Court Lake area owned by our school has very rich resources and many precious materials.”

“Especially the three large islands in Dragon Court Lake, Thousand Peak Island, Myriad Forest Island, and Mist Island.”

“Do you see the island at the end? That’s Thousand Peak Island. It’s also where you are going for your collective training… One of them.”

Instructor Ma paused and continued, “There are two targets for the collective training.”

“Firstly, it’s to let you learn to survive in the wild. It has similarities to the special training missions you received in high school.

“The second point is to teach you to gather materials.

“Tell me, what can we see nearby?”

Instructor Ma randomly chose a lucky student and asked.

The boy was stunned. Then, he tried to ask, “Lake water, woods, and slight moisture in the air?”

Instructor Ma was so angry that he laughed. “Are you stupid or am I stupid? I’m asking you, what rare materials can you see?!!”

The appearance of various precious materials, their growth environments, and their collection methods had long been compiled into a thick illustrated book by Dragon Nation.

During the first semester of their first year in university, Su Hao and the others had already learned in the relevant classes. It was a compulsory class.

The Heart of Attributes was a very easily identifiable treasure.

But most of the materials were difficult to identify, and one needed a pair of eyes that were good at discovering money.

The boy who was called out didn’t. He lowered his head in shame.

Instructor Ma looked around again. His gaze was rather intimidating. Everywhere it passed, boys and girls lowered their heads.

This cohort was too lousy!

He thought to himself, he finally found a student who didn’t lower his head.

It was Su Hao!

Instructor Ma’s tone became much gentler. “Mr. Su Hao, what can you see?”

Su Hao turned his neck 180 degrees and looked straight ahead. There seemed to be no emotions or waves in his eyes.

After watching for a while, he said,

“Silver Thread Grass… about 150 meters north, three stalks.”

“Wood Spirit Fruit Tree, about 300 in the northwest direction. There are six fruits on the tree.”

“Tranquilizing Flower, about northeast…”

Initially, instructor Ma nodded approvingly.

Next, he nodded in surprise.

Then, he nodded in shock.

Finally, he nodded in realization.

W-What exactly are your eyes made of?!

“Cough, cough, alright, that’s enough!”

He saw Su Hao report the surrounding materials like he was announcing the names of dishes. That Reverie Butterfly flew out like a gust of wind and picked the materials back in the blink of an eye.

That look, that root…

There was no problem with its harvesting method at all!

Later on, that Reverie Butterfly actually commanded the other sprites to split up and harvest.

Instructor Ma had no choice but to call for a stop.

He wiped the sweat off his forehead.

Butterfly stopped with some regret and put the gathered materials into the empty backpack hanging on the back of the Water Unicorn Beast.

That’s right, three of the five backpacks were empty!

Su Hao helped Butterfly to categorize the materials. When he saw that he had picked up several materials in just a few minutes, he couldn’t help but exclaim.

“No wonder so many Sprite Trainers want to enter the world to search for gold. The New World is indeed full of treasures!”

More than ten instructors started teaching the students how to dig for gold.

The freshmen all learnt how to identify precious materials, combining what they had practised into reality. Everyone’s digging of precious materials improved rapidly.

In just over an hour, they had turned the woods in front of them upside down.

Some had great gains.

The materials found by some weren’t very valuable.

But they were all excited.

At this moment…

Instructor Ma spoke again. “This is all for the collective training lesson. Next, we will begin the official content.”

“The first mission is for you to reach the Thousand Peak Island in the lake.”

“You can’t ride sprites. You have to learn to make use of the environment and cross the lake by making your own raft.”

“Team up in fives, a team will only be considered successful when all members reach Thousand Peak Island. The first 10 teams to arrive will be rewarded with 50 credits per person. The slowest 20 teams will have 50 credits deducted per person!”

As soon as Instructor Ma finished speaking, everyone started moving around.

Big Face Liu rushed to his side immediately, expressing his desire to cozy up to him.

“No problem, to carry you guys…”

Before Su Hao finished speaking.

Instructor Ma said, “All teams are assigned by instructors. The specific arrangements have been sent to your Sprite Commandeering wristband.”

Instantly, the wristband vibrated.

Su Hao opened it. A moment later, he found his teammates based on the information on the wristband.

He was stunned.

Two males and two females.

All of them each only had one initial elite-level.

And among all their sprites…

Not! One! Water! Element!

I suspect that Instructor Ma is targeting me, and I have evidence!

Su Hao looked over.

Instructor Ma also looked over. He smiled and said, “Be more confident. There’s no need to doubt. It was deliberately arranged.”

“You should know the reason too.”
