"As long as we climb over the hill ahead, we will reach Pingqiu Wetland. There is a group of red electric fish hidden in Pingqiu Wetland. These are good things."
"I heard that the whole body of the red electric fish is a treasure. Not only can the fish meat heal wounds, it is also filled with rich spiritual energy, and even its bone spurs and scales can be used as materials for refining weapons. Is this true?"
"Yes, a red electric fish can be sold for a million yuan on the market. If we can catch a few more, this trip will be worth it. But why is the price of red electric fish so high?"
"Nonsense, don't think about it, the only way to heal the wound is to find a wood spirit refiner.
Among the known biological illustrations, there are only a few mutant creatures with healing properties. At most, there are less than ten species. However, the reason why the price is so high is related to the scales of the red electric fish.
The scales of the red electric fish are extremely hard, harder than alloys, and difficult to penetrate with ordinary magic tools. They are also immune to spiritual arts to a certain extent, and are a rare mutant creature. "
The ones speaking were a team of mercenaries, and everyone wanted to take a bite of Baicheng, a new disaster area with extremely rich resources.
The government wouldn't let them in and limited the number of people allowed in, so they just sneaked in. The border of White City is so large, there must be a way, and facts proved that they did get in.
They certainly cannot compete with the government and those big families for big resources, so they can only start from the small ones, and the red electric fish is their target.
Pingqiu Wetland was formerly a lake called Pingqiu Lake. After Baicheng changed, its geographical location also changed dramatically. People who are not well-informed may not be able to find the location of Pingqiu Wetland even if they come in.
The three of them crossed the mountain and walked for another ten kilometers before finally reaching Pingqiu Wetland.
The dense grass was almost half a person's height. Looking around, one could not see any danger below.
"Is the red electric fish right down there?" Member A of the mercenary team looked at the wetland below excitedly, walked straight down, and was pulled back by the captain.
"If you want to die, get down quickly. If red electric fish were so easy to catch, everyone would have made a fortune long ago."
Team member A was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.
"Captain, do you see someone over there?" Team member B's eyes suddenly fixed in one direction. "Didn't you say he would die if he went down there? Why wasn't he attacked by the red electric fish?"
The captain looked over and opened his mouth.
In the distance, in the half-man-high grass, a tall and slender black figure jumped into sight. The other party was walking on the dangerous wetland as if walking on flat ground, unarmed.
Such a person would be targeted by the mutated creatures in the wetlands in a short while. Sure enough, two red electric fish over one meter long suddenly emerged from the wetlands. Their open mouths were full of sharp fangs, flashing dazzling light in the sunlight, and they bit towards the head of the man in black.
The three-man team's eyelids jumped, thinking that the man in black was going to have half of his body bitten off by the red electric fish. At this moment, the man in black waved his hand in the air, a black light flashed, and the two red electric fish paused in the air for two seconds before falling back into the grass.
The three of them suddenly felt a cold gaze filled with murderous intent, and a chill instantly rose from the soles of their feet.
The two team members froze and didn't move, and were finally thrown back into the bushes by their captain.
"Oh my god, this man is so scary. When he looked at me just now, I felt like I died."
"He actually killed two red electric fish with one move. Captain, didn't you say that the scales of red electric fish are very hard?"
The captain opened his mouth and rolled his eyes for a long time, "I must be an idiot to recruit you into my team."
Zhongli Tingzhou, who had scared people away with a look, slowly withdrew his gaze and put the two red electric fish into the storage item.
The red electric fish has no intelligence. Once they detect the breath of a living person, countless of them will emerge to attack him.
When a storage item was full, Zhongli Tingzhou stopped and left the wetland with a relaxed pace.
He turned on the communicator and dialed Gao Han's number.
Gao Han's unexpectedly handsome face appeared on the holographic screen, and Zhongli Tingzhou admired it for a while.
"Why did you change back into black clothes?" Gao Han was the first to notice that his clothes had changed and couldn't help but look at him again.
If the temperament of Zhongli in white is cold and solemn, and he is aloof and indifferent, then Zhongli in black is extremely aggressive and handsome. His cold-blooded and ruthless evil, especially when he smiles, always makes people want to beat him to death on behalf of socialism.
"It's resistant to dirt." Zhongli Tingzhou's voice is pleasant and distant. If it could be turned into an emoticon, it would definitely be a wavy line.
Gao Han thought to himself that this man was indeed the actor he knew at the beginning, "Are you not going to act anymore?"
Zhongli Tingzhou rolled his eyes, his eyes flickering, "Guess?"
"Nothing else, I'm hanging up." Gao Han was very decisive.
“Wait, why are you still so incapable of taking a joke?” Zhongli Tingzhou had a sad expression on his face. He took out a red electric fish and said aggrievedly, “I want to show you something with good intentions…”
"Red electric fish?" Gao Han's eyes suddenly locked onto the creature in his hand, and the biological illustration book he had seen in Area A on the third floor of the library immediately came in handy.
"My boyfriend has really good taste, it's the red electric fish." Zhongli Tingzhou smiled proudly.
Gao Han only took a glance and looked away. "Didn't I tell you that you don't have to look for materials for me? The situation in the disaster area of Baicheng should be very tense now, right?"
"You don't count. It's my own business to bring something for my baby."
Gao Han's forehead was squinting, and he rubbed his temple. "Do you really have to say something to change your name?"
"This is the only way to reflect the deep affection between us, don't you think, wife?" Zhongli Tingzhou stared at the man on the holographic screen and instantly put on a murderous expression.
"Do you want to die?"
Zhongli Tingzhou asked cautiously, "Then...husband?"
In an instant, the call was hung up by the person on the other end.
Zhongli Tingzhou slowly smiled. His Hanhan was still so shy. After putting away the communicator, he left Pingqiu Wetland contentedly and headed to the next place.
…
Penglai University.
After Gao Han hung up the phone, his temples hurt even more. Although he was very happy that Zhongli Tingzhou was no longer acting, he was even more troubled about what to do. He suddenly missed Zhongli in white, who at least never spoke nonsense.
Two days have passed since the exam of the Equipment Refining Academy.
The noisy atmosphere in the school not only did not settle down, but became even more lively than before, all because of Tang Xinyu who was criticized and expelled from the whole school.
It was a moment without any signs. You have to know that this kind of thing hasn't happened in Penglai for a long time, especially since Tang Xinyu is a member of the Tang family.
The content of the criticism notice only said that Tang Xinyu slandered Gao Han, but did not say what happened specifically. Considering the impact, the school decided to hide this part.
Another person who was criticized and given a serious warning was Xu Zhiqiang, but he also did not disclose what specifically happened.
The students speculated for a long time, and only some rumors kept circulating. Everyone's attention was then diverted because the first graders would also go to the disaster area for training in a few days.
Recently, more and more people have come to Class 9 to inquire about Gao Han's news, but he still hasn't decided which class he will challenge.
If this happens at the last moment and you are suddenly defeated, you won't even have a place to cry.
However, everyone thinks that the most nervous person should be Chen Siqin. At the beginning, she targeted Gao Han like a shrew because he was not attracted by her beauty. No man can stand it.
But no one noticed that there was another person who was also very nervous, and that person was Tang Minghao.
He originally wanted to use his sister's false accusation to prevent Gao Han from making a comeback. As long as the suspicion on him was not cleared, he would not be able to go to the disaster area for training. Unexpectedly, the plan failed. He suspected, no, he was sure that Gao Han would definitely choose him!
Gao Han didn't even let Chen Siqin and Yuan Chenlin go, and he will definitely not let go of the person who framed him, he holds a grudge so well.
In the past two days, Tang Minghao has been thinking about how Gao Han would take revenge on him. His hair was falling out and his eyes were bloodshot. His classmates thought he was too nervous and tried to comfort him.
However, contrary to everyone's expectations, Gao Han did not choose Chen Siqin, nor did he choose him in order to retaliate against him as Tang Minghao expected. He chose the first place in the ranking list last semester.
It was reasonable and unexpected, but from that day on, the way everyone looked at Gao Han really changed.
"Azhe, do you think he is stupid? Instead of challenging his enemies and taking the opportunity to take revenge, he actually challenges Lin Ying. He must be a fool, right?" As soon as Wei Kaiyang learned the news, he immediately shared it with Yuan Zhe.
Lin Ying, the top student in the first grade, is used to using a spear as a magical weapon. He is the direct disciple of Zhu Shengjiang, the dean of the Magical Weapon Academy. Unlike those students who come from wealthy families, he is a commoner student. Because of his extremely high talent, he was noticed by Zhu Shengjiang before he entered Penglai and was accepted as his apprentice.
Lin Ying did not disappoint the dean and master, and showed extraordinary strength as soon as he entered Penglai.
Of course, he cannot be compared with Sima Ye and Zhongli Tingzhou, but he can be comparable to Zhongli Changze, the top student in the second grade.
"Lin Ying has already broken through to the fourth level, and he is only at the fifth level upper level. Does he think he can beat Lin Ying? I think he is shooting himself in the foot this time. It's not easy to be the first in two colleges." Wei Kaiyang said sarcastically.
"No, he's very smart." Yuan Zhe's face was uncertain, "Do you really think he's trying to be first? Haven't you noticed that since the rumor that he was going to challenge Lin Ying, other students' opinions of him have changed?"
Wei Kaiyang's expression also changed, "Are you saying that he is trying to win over students from the Magical Instruments Academy?"
"Challenging a woman is not a big deal. If it gets out, people will think he is narrow-minded. Lin Ying is different. Gao Han has proven his strength before. When people hear that he wants to challenge Lin Ying, they will think he is brave. He knows he might lose, but he still wants to challenge Lin Ying. This is the integrity of a spirit refiner!" Yuan Zhe's eyes were deep. "Besides, do you really think that if he loses, he can't go to the A-level or S-level disaster area? Don't forget, he is the number one in the Refining Academy."
"Despicable, shameless, it turns out his purpose is so deep!" Wei Kaiyang was furious when he understood Gao Han's plan.
Yuan Zhe tapped the table lightly, his eyes deep, "Every time I thought I paid enough attention to him, he refreshed my understanding of him. Gao Han is really unfathomable. His weapon refining, combat ability, and even his brain are so smart. This opponent is much more difficult to deal with than I thought!"
Wei Kaiyang's face was filled with worry. Azhe had never given such a high evaluation to any of his opponents. It seemed that Gao Han really made Azhe feel a sense of crisis.
…
"Brother Han, why did you choose to challenge Lin Ying? His strength is not weak at all." Zhao Bin and others also had worried faces.
What if Brother Han loses? The prestige that he has worked so hard to build up will be dissipated.
However, they didn't dare say this in front of Gao Han, as that would mean they didn't trust his ability.
"We only challenge him because he is strong." Gao Han seemed not to notice their concerns.
Zhao Bin and Dali didn't understand, but Ma Zechao's eyes lit up, "Brother Han is awesome, I get it, it turns out that Brother Han is smart."
"Huh?" Zhao Bin and Dali were confused. "What do you mean you know? What's going on?"
Ma Zechao said proudly: "The reason why Brother Han chose Lin Ying is that Brother Han wants everyone to know that he is not afraid of fighting against the strong, and does not care about winning or losing. When others know this, they will not think that Brother Han is overestimating his own abilities, but will think that Brother Han is very courageous."
Two faces suddenly realized, "What if Brother Han loses?"
"Stupid, Brother Han is the number one in the Equipment Refining Academy, what do you think we need to do?" Ma Zechao looked at them with contempt.
"So that's how it is! Brother Han is indeed smart!" The two of them laughed.
"No..." Gao Han didn't know why they interpreted this. He had never thought about this from beginning to end.
"No what?" Three pairs of eyes stared at him.
Gao Han kept a calm face and explained seriously: "I challenged him just because I wanted to challenge him. I didn't think too much about it. Don't over-interpret it."
Three people: "..."
However, no matter what Gao Han thought, those who claimed to be smart still over-interpreted his choice to challenge Lin Ying into multiple versions.
It seems that everything is destined by heaven.
Different from the admiration of the Magical Equipment Academy, the people from the Refining Equipment Academy thought that Gao Han would win, especially those who had seen the entire process of Gao Han's fifth level exam.
The people at the Magical Weapon Academy felt that although Gao Han had courage, he would definitely not be able to defeat Lin Ying.
The people in the Equipment Refining Academy felt that since Gao Han could fight the school’s men in black to a draw, what was Lin Ying?
At some point, people from the two colleges started arguing, and it got so serious that they even started fighting each other whenever they met.
It was originally just an ordinary resource challenge, but they turned it into a tense situation.
The next day, the school made unified arrangements for the students who would be participating in the resource challenge competition, and Gao Han and Lin Ying's competition was scheduled for the afternoon.
People from the Magical Equipment Academy and the Equipment Refining Academy came, each occupying half of the place. The latter all came to see how Gao Han defeated Lin Ying from the Magical Equipment Academy. Invisibly, they also helped Gao Han establish his status and honor as the top student in the Equipment Refining Academy. The era of Yuan Zhe became a thing of the past.
As the competition time approached, Gao Han arrived early.
He stood on the stage for ten minutes.
Ten minutes later, Lin Ying didn't come.
