"Anqi, Vivian, join our team! Our team members are all elite students from various departments." Just as the team disbanded, a rather flamboyantly dressed boy approached Anqi to invite her.
Before Anqi could agree, another girl dressed in aristocratic attire ran up to her and said, "Anqi, Vivian, join our team! Our team consists of elite students from various departments, and you'll get 20% of the spoils this time."
"Twenty-five percent of our team's loot belongs to you," the boy quickly added upon seeing this.
"Angie, Vivian, join our team!" Just then, a young man dressed in noble clothes said to Angie, "Our team not only employs experienced mercenaries for protection, but all the team's spoils are yours."
Upon seeing the young man, the other two fell silent, only able to watch Wang Han expectantly. Several students who had initially intended to invite him also refrained from stepping forward. Clearly, the young man was no ordinary person.
Vivian was somewhat tempted by the young man's offer and looked at Wang Han. She relayed what the others had said to Wang Han. In fact, many people had invited Vivian to team up with others beforehand, but Wang Han advised her to wait until the very end to choose a team. By then, the members and team compositions of each team would be largely finalized, allowing her to choose the team that best suited Angie.
Wang Han shook his head. None of these teams were suitable for An Qi. What An Qi needed was a team where she could utilize her strengths and abilities, and these teams were all very strong.
Seeing Wang Han shake his head, the two people from the elite teams who came to invite him couldn't help but light up.
Hua Fuhao Nian made a final effort: "Let's think about it. In addition to keeping all the team's earnings, we can also pay you a commission. How about 3,000 crystals a day? That's 100,000 crystals a month. If that's not enough, we can add more."
Upon hearing this, Anqi looked at Wang Han again, her eyes filled with anticipation.
Wang Han shook his head again. Their team was protected by mercenaries, so Anqi was basically there to be a decorative figure. There was another layer to the boy's words: building connections.
Seeing Wang Han shake his head, the boy gave up on continuing the invitation and said to Anqi with a smile, "Anqi, although we didn't team up this time, we can still be friends. My name is Lando, and I'm a student in the fire magic class. If you need any help in the future, feel free to contact me anytime."
"Thank you," Angie said with a hint of regret.
"It's alright, we're friends, helping each other is only right," the boy said with a smile, and then left.
After the boy left, other students who wanted to recruit Angie swarmed over again. Some wanted to recruit Angie into their teams, while others wanted to join Angie's team. Even several teachers came.
Finally, Wang Han thought about it and, with An Qi's suggestion, formed a team of twenty-two. The team composition didn't need to be perfect; the extra two were Wang Han and the teacher in charge of safety—a high-level combat master, a female teacher in her thirties from the warrior class. Half the team consisted of warriors, several of whom were children of academy teachers. Regarding the distribution, the teacher in charge of safety originally suggested that An Qi, Vivian, and Wang Han receive thirty percent, but Wang Han shook his head, and An Qi refused. Wang Han would keep all the prey, while the prey obtained by other teams would belong to the other team members.
At noon, the teams met, ate lunch together, and then each team went back to collect their supplies. Led by their instructors, they returned to the academy square. After the dean gave a few words of explanation from the podium, the teams set off. Before leaving, the dean approached Wang Han, hoping that Wang Han would be available to help in any emergency, whether inside or outside the Monster Forest. He also gave Wang Han a card containing 100,000 crystals.
Upon exiting the academy, the carriages prepared by the academy were already lined up neatly at the academy gate, occupying the entire fifty-meter-wide street. Each carriage was pulled by four horses, and behind each of the two carriages was a flatbed cart. These carriages and flatbed carts were not only for the students to travel, but also for the students to transport the game they had hunted. Wang Han's group followed the teacher in charge and boarded two carriages respectively.
Once all the students were on the carriages, the procession began. On both sides of the street, large numbers of parents had gathered, seeing off their children as if they were bidding farewell to soldiers going to war. The city's soldiers maintained order around them.
After the carriage traveled for more than half an hour, it finally emerged from the city's west gate. Wang Han had to admit that this world was truly vast, with long distances between cities. Moreover, due to the vastness of the land and the ease of constructing magical buildings, the cities were also very large, and the population wasn't densely packed. The so-called "Monster Forest" wasn't the name of a specific forest, but rather a collective term for most forests inhabited by magical beasts. The difference lay only in the prefix of the name of a nearby city or region. Some very large forests even had several prefixes. For example, the Monster Forest they were traversing on their academy excursion was called the Ang Monster Forest because part of it was within the jurisdiction of Ang City. Beyond that section, it was named after another city. There were even more detailed distinctions, with some entrances to the Monster Forest named after nearby supply towns. These entrances had far fewer high-level and social magical beasts. Wang Han and his group were heading to Gru Town. Gru Town was three days' journey from Ang City and was the closest supply town to it.
After leaving the city, Wang Han looked out through the carriage window. Near the city walls and gates, there were villages and houses, followed by a vast expanse of farmland. Some farmers were busy in the fields. This world truly lived up to its reputation as a world where everyone cultivated; even the farmers possessed considerable strength, with many having reached the level of warriors. These people were not only powerful but also adept at farming. Considering all this, the academy's tuition was indeed quite expensive.
