After the two signed the contract, they discussed some details of the cooperation.

Gu Shi said, "I will come to you every ten days to confirm the progress of the acquisition."

Blair said, "No problem. Just come to this courtyard to find me at night. I might not be here during the day."

Gu Shi nodded, "I see. I live in the hotel in front. If you have anything, you can find me there."

Blair said, "Okay."

Gu Shi didn't stay long and left after chatting for a few minutes. He had been planning to go back, but after being caught by Blair and kept waiting for a while, he was now extremely hungry.

"The problem of acquiring the magic crystal has been perfectly solved. All we have to do now is work hard to make money."

Gu Shi and Blair agreed that he could get magic crystals from Blair at a 10% discount on the market price, and they also specifically agreed that he only wanted the cheap magic crystals and would not accept the high-priced ones.

In fact, even if Blair had not existed, Gu Shi would not have purchased magic crystals from each store one by one. Not only was it time-consuming, but the efficiency of the purchase was also low. He was originally planning to spend more money to purchase from the Emerald Trading Company. The timing of Blair's appearance could be said to be just right.

The next day, Gu Shi prepared to go to the Warcraft Forest to complete a mission.

On the way, he found that there were many more people going to the Warcraft Forest like him, probably all coming for the S-level mission.

Gu Shi ignored these people and focused on looking at the map.

The monster he planned to capture today was a wind raccoon. The wind raccoon was small in size, had sharp perception, and was extremely fast, so this task was quite challenging.

Following the instructions on the map, Gu Shi came to the area where raccoons were active. He first threw some food on the grass that could attract raccoons, then restrained his breath, carefully hid in the grass and observed the surrounding environment.

Fengli is timid and will run away quickly when it hears any noise, so Gu Shi cannot take the initiative to attack and can only choose to stay where he is and wait.

This is the time to test your patience. Gu Shi squatted in the grass for more than an hour but did not find the target.

Just when Gu Shi began to think about whether he should change his location, he heard a rustling sound.

Is it finally here?

Gu Shi's eyes were fixed on the swaying bushes in front of him on the left. He saw a small, light grey head emerge from the bushes. It first looked around and made sure there was no danger before emerging from the bushes.

The fox quickly ran to the food, sniffed it twice, and then tentatively picked up the food.

At this moment, several wind blades suddenly flew out from the side. The wind fox was startled and it dropped its food and fled quickly.

"I missed it. It was so fast."

Seeing Fengli running away, Gu Shi immediately cast the sprint spell on himself and followed.

I've waited so long to see this raccoon, how could I let it go so easily?

Thus began a chase between the man and the beast.

The wind raccoon was agile and small in size. Gu Shi tried several times but failed to hit it. He couldn't stop to use large-scale magic, and by the time he was ready, the wind raccoon had already run away.

The two sides are in a stalemate.

Suddenly, an accident happened.

Feng Li was chased by Gu Shi and was in a panic, and unexpectedly ran into another group of people head-on.

"What?"

"It looks like a monster, everyone be careful."

A noisy sound came from the front, and Gu Shi immediately quickened his pace. After passing through the cover of the trees, he saw Fengli surrounded by a group of people.

Gu Shi took decisive action to freeze Feng Li.

"Excuse me, I was chasing this monster and didn't expect to run into anyone."

Fighting over monsters is the most common thing in the Monster Forest. In any case, it would be better to first tell this group of people that this wind fox is his trophy.

The leader on the other side said, "It's okay, no one is hurt."

Only then did Gu Shi see the appearance of this group of people clearly. There were five people in total, four men and one woman, fully equipped. The most important thing was that they all had black hair and black eyes, and the characteristics of the clothes they wore were also quite obvious.

In this world full of Western looks, it's not easy to recognize these outsiders.

The person on the opposite side was obviously stunned when he saw Gu, but he didn't say anything rashly.

Gu Shi knew that this was because they were unable to confirm their identities. After all, most people were staying in school, and the possibility of suddenly meeting one of their own in the Warcraft Forest was too small. Moreover, Gu Shi was dressed in the common outfit of an adventurer here.

So Gu Shi chose to prove himself first, "Hello, I am one of the students who went to school with Captain Wang."

As soon as Gu Shi said this, the other side lowered their guard against him. The leading man stepped forward and extended his hand. "Hello, I'm Zhang Bei. We are from the exploration team sent by the school. The ones behind me are my teammates, Wu Zhenxing, Zhang Nan, Ji Wen, and Qin Yao."

Following his introduction, the people behind him also greeted Gu Shi.

Gu Shi and Zhang Bei shook hands. "I didn't expect to meet you in the Warcraft Forest. What a coincidence."

Zhang Nan continued, "Yeah, what a coincidence. But then again, why are you here? Aren't you guys out at school?"

Gu Shi said, "Since the college is on vacation, I thought I'd go out for a walk."

Ji Wen pushed his glasses and said, "The Warcraft Forest is not a good place. It's too dangerous. You should go back early."

Zhang Bei also advised: "Ji Wen is right. Why would a student like you run to such a dangerous place? Does Wang Feng know? You didn't sneak out, did you?"

"No, no," Gu Shi waved his hands quickly, "I told Captain Wang about this when I came out."

"What was Wang Feng thinking? He actually let you out alone." Zhang Bei's tone was a little stiff, and he was obviously in a bad mood.

Gu Shi quickly explained on Wang Feng's behalf, "I wanted to come out on my own. I'm already at the beginner level of the fourth rank. It's no problem for me to just be active outside the Warcraft Forest."

Hearing Gu Shi's words, everyone in the team was surprised.

Zhang Nan couldn't help but exclaim, "How did you level up so quickly? Do you have any secrets? Teach me, teach me."

Zhang Bei slapped him on the head and said, "Stop messing around."

"Brother, why did you hit me? I just want to become stronger quickly." Zhang Nan said aggrievedly, covering his head.

Gu Shi smiled and said, "There's no secret. I just practice normally. Maybe it's because I'm more talented."

Qin Yao walked over and petted Zhang Nan's head lovingly. "Gu Shi and his group were sent out to study because they were so talented. You should focus on your training and stop daydreaming about adventures."

The protagonist in the comic book can pick up a martial arts manual by jumping off a cliff, but you can only fall to pieces, and at best, it will just make a nice-looking pattern."
