Chapter 17 A Mysterious Sense of Superiority
Before long, Lingling's men arrived. They rushed into the orphanage, arrested the man in black cloth, and tore off the cloth covering his face. It turned out that he was the orphanage director.
At the same time, a man dressed in a somewhat eerie manner dismissed this group of city monster hunters on the spot and replaced them with a new group.
Not only did they spread false information, but they also handed the case over to the Qingtian Hunting Station without conducting a thorough investigation.
I estimate I'll be going to the trial court for a while, with meals and accommodation provided.
Lu Jie and Lingling naturally received compensation from the Hunter Alliance, and even the commission fee was paid by them, which would be transferred to them within one business day.
The two then left.
On the way back, Lingling said to Lu Jie somewhat shyly, "I'm sorry, I didn't gather enough information."
As a master hunter, she made a mistake in gathering information for this mission. Fortunately, Lu Jie himself was very strong, and nothing unexpected happened.
Lu Jie rubbed Lingling's little head and said, "No one is perfect. You've done very well."
Lingling looked at him, quickly regained her composure, and asked curiously, "How did you deal with them?"
"It's a secret," Lu Jie said with a smile.
Lingling pouted. If you don't want to tell me, then don't. Why keep bringing up secrets?
It was already 10 p.m. when they returned to Qingtian Hunting Grounds, where Old Man Bao was sitting at the bar waiting for them.
"You're back. How did the task go?" The old man asked with a smile, taking a sip of tea.
"There was a little mishap, but he took care of it all," Lingling said first, then rushed into the hunting lodge, ready to wash up and go to sleep.
The old man didn't ask anything else, but simply took out a contract and smiled at Lu Jie.
"Sign this, and you'll be a hunter mage in my hunting camp."
Lu Jie took the contract, looked at it carefully, and found no hidden content or unfair terms. Then he signed his name on it.
The moment Lu Jie signed his name, the familiar voice echoed in his mind once again.
[Ding! Host has checked in. Congratulations! You have received 5 Senzu Beans!]
Senzu Beans?
Lu Jie was a little confused. Forgive him for being a bit ignorant, after all, he had never watched the anime Dragon Ball.
The others only had a general understanding of some of the content.
After receiving feedback, Lu Jie realized that the Senzu Beans were cultivated by the cat sage on Korin Tower.
These beans resemble broad beans in appearance, and eating just one of these "magic beans" will keep you full for ten days.
At the same time, it possesses extremely strong regenerative power. As long as a person is not dead, it can restore physical strength and energy in the shortest time when extremely fatigued, and readjust the body to its best state.
But this thing doesn't seem to work on diseases. If it were combined with a noble horse, wouldn't I really become a perpetual motion machine?
"It's getting late, young man, why don't you stay here for the night?" Old Bao said with a smile.
"Then I'll be sorry to bother you."
After resting for one night, Lu Jie took his leave the next day.
After all, there weren't many commissions. The hunters wouldn't take on low-level ones, and the high-level ones weren't for a newbie like him.
After returning to the resettlement area, Lu Jie devoted himself to cultivation, preparing for the special admission to Mingzhu Academy next year.
…………
Time flies, and soon it was time for the special admissions ceremony at Mingzhu Academy.
Outside Mingzhu Academy, a slightly overweight young man stepped out of a black Mercedes-Benz.
The young man glanced around, a hint of disdain in his eyes: "What a hassle, it takes another week to make a decision!"
"Little Song, this is Mingzhu Academy after all, and there are many talented people here. The two people competing with you are a summoner and a plant expert, respectively. Such talents are quite rare." The driver in the suit got out of the car and smiled.
"Old Li, what's so great about them?" Luo Song scoffed.
"Compared to you, it's really nothing," said the butler, Old Li, with indulgent eyes.
"Let's go, I want to see what they're capable of that dares to compete with me!"
Having found the testing hall, Luo Song walked in and found five examiners already sitting there.
Besides the five examiners, in the center of the trial grounds covered with white gravel stood two young men who looked quite ordinary.
Often, one's family background can be discerned from their clothing and appearance, since taste is something that requires substantial spending to truly cultivate.
Therefore, Luo Song's first impression of those two was to label them as poor losers!
One of the bald examiners saw Luo Song, smiled slightly, stood up from his seat, walked over to him, and lowered his voice, saying, "What are you doing at Pearl Academy, kid? And why are you trying to compete with students from the Summoning and Plant departments!"
"Uncle Li, you know me." Luo Song looked relaxed and seemed determined to pass the test.
The bald examiner returned to his seat and, seeing that Mo Fan hadn't prepared any support items, asked, "Didn't you prepare any summoning-type support items?"
"Too expensive, I can't afford it." Mo Fan simply said a few words to show that he had no money and was a penniless pauper.
An elderly man wearing glasses and a white Zhongshan suit standing to the side said, "Then let's begin."
On the other side, Luo Song couldn't help but laugh and said to Old Li, "See? I told you this guy was a poor loser. He has no money and yet he's trying to learn summoning. He must be out of his mind."
Luo Song, being from a big city, was well-traveled and knowledgeable, and naturally always had a strange sense of superiority about him.
He also knew that summoning was the most expensive skill, as the strength of summoned creatures often varied greatly; the weakest could be worse than a dog, while the strongest could fight demons.
Before long, Mo Fan summoned a ghost wolf beast of excellent quality, which truly surprised many people present.
"A Shadow Wolf Beast?? How could a Shadow Wolf Beast be summoned on the first summoning attempt!" the bald examiner exclaimed in surprise.
"It seems that Mo Fan's willpower is indeed very strong," the bespectacled old man said with a smile.
"This probably isn't the first time it's been summoned. How could it possibly summon a Shadow Wolf on the first try?" the female examiner said skeptically.
"I'm pretty sure this is his first time summoning!" Jiang Yunming from the Summoning Department said. "Dean Xiao, our Summoning Department wants this student."
Jiang Yunming made it clear that he wanted to admit Mo Fan. Their Summoning Department had only admitted 6 people this year, and with Mo Fan, there would be 7 people in total.
Dean Xiao seemed quite satisfied with Mo Fan from the beginning and agreed to let him study in the Summoning Department.
The other three hesitated, seemingly considering whether Mo Fan's performance qualified him to enter their Pearl Academy.
