Chapter 28: The Joking Mentality Collapses

There are no classes scheduled at the Demon Hunting Academy today.

Even, for a period of time afterwards, the Demon Hunting Academy would no longer arrange any classes.

The academy's top brass has officially spread the news of the appearance of the Demonic Prison in Huaming District, and let everyone in the academy know that in the next period of time, they will have to go to Huaming District to organize a defense line.

Under such circumstances, it was impossible to attend classes, so the college simply gave all the students public holidays, regardless of attendance, and allowed the students to arrange their own time before leaving for Huaming District.

As a result, the college is exceptionally bustling today, with people coming and going everywhere.

The trainees were running around, some were confirming the latest news, some were discussing things with each other, and some were nervously preparing equipment and supplies for combat, creating scenes that were as tense and bustling as a military base.

Even those top students and elite students who used to have top grades, great reputations, and rarely appeared in public could not hold back. From that day on, they frequently appeared in the academy, running around everywhere, and were surrounded by many students.

This is a very normal thing.

The college had already issued a notice that the students needed to form their own teams and hand in the team rosters to the college so that they could arrange their work and positioning when organizing the defense.

In this way, these top students and elite students with outstanding grades will naturally attract much attention and be crazily sought after by other students.

Since they are forming teams, it is not surprising that students would want to be in a group with those who rank at the top of their grades.

Even the top students who used to be a bit eccentric, confident in their own abilities, and who had always carried out tasks alone, put aside their arrogance and began to carefully select their teammates.

No matter how good their grades are or how dazzling they are in the academy, they are just students.

People like this, in the professional world, may not even be as good as a one-star professional.

However, in this situation, Longyao Base City directly summoned all hunters and warlocks to prepare to fight against the invading phantom demons from the Demon Prison.

There are hunters and warlocks all over the base city, and there must be some high-star professionals among them, and even the highest-star six-star professionals have to attack.

Compared with these professionals, they are just students. No matter how good or top their grades are, they are just little kids who haven't even grown all their hair. They don't think they can stand out in this situation and survive on their own under the threat of the invading army of phantom demons.

Therefore, no matter whether they are top students or elite students, they have to put aside their arrogance and self-esteem and start to team up with others.

Su Ming also received a call from Xu Qianqian, who told him that this time she would form a team with some of the top students in the academy and go to Huaming District together.

This made Su Ming feel a little strange.

"Aren't you going to act with your family?"

Su Ming asked Xu Qianqian this.

All the professionals in the base city are mobilized together. As one of the best hunter families in Longyao City, the Xu family will definitely send out all their combat forces.

As the eldest daughter of the Xu family, it is normal for Xu Qianqian to act with family members and be protected by them.

As a result, Xu Qianqian didn't seem to have such plans.

The reason is simple.

"They have their own mission. I am not qualified to get involved. They will also oppose taking me with them because it is too dangerous."

Xu Qianqian's concise explanation made Su Ming understand what she meant.

Simply put, this young lady, like herself, will stay behind the front line as a student.

For those professionals, this position is undoubtedly the safest. They don't need to go to the front line, and it is the most suitable place to house the younger generations in the family.

"It seems that the new generations of the other hunter families will also stay behind the front line and perform harmless logistical tasks with us."

Su Ming shrugged.

Xu Qianqian did not make any comment on this. She was silent for a while and then asked Su Ming a question.

"If you want to join my team, I can arrange it for you."

There is no doubt that Xu Qianqian was inviting Su Ming to join her team.

After all, until today, Xu Qianqian still doesn't know Su Ming's true strength.

In the eyes of this young lady, Su Ming is undoubtedly a hidden talent. There are only benefits and no disadvantages in bringing such a person into her team.

But Su Ming refused without hesitation.

"No thanks, I don't want to cause trouble for myself."

It’s obvious that there must be a lot of martial arts in a team with Xu Qianqian.

It is impossible for this goddess senior to not have one or two admirers or one or two supporters in her team.

One can imagine how irritating it would be for these admirers and supporters to be invited in by this goddess senior.

In addition, Xu Qianqian is being targeted by assassins, and the strength of her team must be extraordinary. She will inevitably be assigned some more dangerous tasks. All these unstable factors are telling Su Ming that he'd better stay away from them.

Not to mention, Su Ming has no intention of revealing his strength yet.

Without exposing his strength, he joined such a strong team. Would he be looked down upon and ridiculed by those extras? Who is not an extra with a fragile heart?

So Su Ming solemnly refused.

"Okay." Xu Qianqian's slightly helpless voice came over the phone, muttering, "I knew you would refuse."

It seems that this young lady has already prepared herself mentally for being rejected.

"I will team up with my roommates, play supporting roles, and do logistics. As long as I can survive, that's enough."

Su Ming said this.

".Why can you say such an embarrassing thing in such a happy and cheerful tone?"

Xu Qianqian was completely speechless.

"Don't blame me, just take care of yourself." Su Ming reminded him, "Don't forget, given your team's position, you will definitely have to deal with some troublesome tasks later, and you are being watched by some rats. If you don't be careful, you will suffer the consequences, okay?"

"I know what's going on." Xu Qianqian said in a cold tone, "I will be fully prepared. If they dare to come, they can come."

"Then what about our mission?" Su Ming continued to ask: "The investigation into that suspicious group can no longer be continued under the current circumstances, right?"

"Let's temporarily suspend that mission." Xu Qianqian said without much hesitation: "I have already asked the higher-ups for instructions, and they allowed me to postpone the execution."

"That's right." Su Ming was not surprised. He said, "Compared with the battle in Huaming District, the task of investigating the private soldiers of a high-ranking official in a base city is nothing compared to it, even if a cub of a high-level phantom demon really appears."

This book was recently updated on ##六@@九@@书@@吧!! Update!

No matter what, this is a major incident that concerns the safety of the entire Base City. Even the top leaders of the Base City should understand that now is not the time to engage in internal strife.

Those politicians cannot fail to understand the principle that when we prosper together, we all prosper together, and when we suffer together, we all suffer.

Of course, "taking advantage of the opportunity of all the professionals in Base City going to Huaming District together, the suspicious group may lose many concerns and start to act more boldly." Xu Qianqian said: "If you find them, you can also take the opportunity to investigate. Anyway, there shouldn't be any troublesome tasks in your position."

"Okay." Su Ming did not refuse this time and nodded: "Before that, can I complete a deal with you first?"

"Transaction?" Xu Qianqian was startled at first, then she reacted and said, "You mean helping you sell extraordinary items?"

"That's right." Su Ming explained the main purpose of contacting Xu Qianqian this time, and said, "I originally planned to complete this investigation mission before looking for you to trade, but I didn't expect something like this to suddenly happen. I have to make some preparations."

What are you preparing for?

Of course, he opened the package! Although, given Su Ming's position in this operation, he should not encounter any danger, but it is better to be safe than sorry.

Who knows if something terrible will happen next? Who knows if the battle line formed by the base city will collapse?

If the front line cannot hold out and is overtaken by the army of phantom demons, even the logistics positions behind the front line will be seriously threatened.

Taking this into consideration, Su Ming felt that he should seize the opportunity, open the package properly, and improve his strength first.

As long as you can open the package, at the very least you can get some useful props, right?

And if he could get something that could change his fate, then Su Ming would make a fortune.

"Okay." Xu Qianqian thought about it, and finally agreed, saying, "I'll come find you after I finish the things I have on hand."

After that, Su Ming and Xu Qianqian chatted for a few more words before hanging up the phone.

But just as Su Ming hung up the phone, another call came in.

"Little sister Jin?"

Looking at the caller's name displayed on the phone screen, Su Ming picked up the call without thinking too much.

"Brother Su Ming!"

The next second, An Zijin's happy and joyful voice reached Su Ming's ears.

Su Ming couldn't help but feel a little sad.

I have to say that An Zijin's voice is really nice. Although not as clear and pleasant as Xu Qianqian's, it is light and soft, like the sound of wind chimes, which makes people happy.

"What's wrong, little sister Xiaojin?" Su Ming asked in a relaxed mood, "Why are you calling me so late? Are you having a nightmare?"

"No way!" An Zijin said angrily, "Brother Su Ming, can you please stop treating me like a child?"

"What's up with you?" Su Ming said cheerfully, "Instead of preparing for team formation and combat, you come to chat with me in the middle of the night. This is not something worth promoting, right?"

Su Ming just said this casually, just to tease the girl.

Who would have thought that what An Zijin said the next moment would instantly shatter Su Ming's joking mentality.

"I just want to talk to Brother Su Ming about this!"

I saw An Zijin speaking in an even happier and more joyful voice from the other end of the line, saying this.

"I want to bring my roommate to join Brother Su Ming's team, is that okay?"

As soon as these words came out, the expression on Su Ming's face froze.
