"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.

情理之中，又意料之外，但是从这一天开始，大家看高寒的眼神，真真正正的发生了变化。

“阿哲，你说他是不是傻啊，不挑战自己的敌人，趁机报复，居然去挑战林英，怕不是傻子吧？”魏开阳一得知这个消息，马上就分享给袁哲。

林英，一年级第一名，惯用长枪法器，是法器学院的院长祝圣江的亲传弟子，和那些出身豪门世家的学生不一样，他是平民学生，因天赋极高，还没进入蓬莱就被祝圣江看中，从而收为徒弟。

林英没有让院长师父失望，一进蓬莱就展现出非同一般的实力。

和司马烨钟离庭洲自然没得比，但是和二年级第一人的钟离长泽倒是有得一拼。

“林英已经突破至四等，他不过是五等上级修为，以为能打得过林英吗，我看他这次是搬起石头砸自己的脚，双学院第一，可没那么好当。”魏开阳嘲讽地说道。

“不，他很聪明。”袁哲脸色阴晴不定，“你真以为他是为了第一？你难道没发现，自从传出他要挑战林英后，其他学生对他的看法都转变了吗？”

魏开阳表情也变了，“你是说他在拉拢法器学院的学生？”

“挑战一个女人算不得什么本事，真要传出去，大家反而会觉得他心胸狭窄，林英不同，高寒之前已经证明了自己的实力，大家一听他要挑战林英，只会觉得他有勇气，明知可能会输，还是要挑战林英，这是炼灵者的气节！”袁哲眼眸深沉，“再者，你真以为他输了，就不能去A级或S级灾区吗？别忘了，他可是炼器学院的第一名。”

“卑鄙，无耻，原来他的目的这么深！”一明白高寒的打算，魏开阳就暴跳如雷。

袁哲轻敲着桌面，眸光幽深，“每次，我以为足够重视他的时候，他又刷新了我对他的认识，高寒，果然是深不可测，炼器、实战能力、甚至连头脑都这般聪明，这个对手比我想象中难对付许多！”

魏开阳愁云满面，阿哲从来没有给任何一个对手这么高的评价，看来高寒真的让阿哲感觉到了危机。

……

“寒哥，你为什么选择挑战林英啊，他的实力可一点也不弱。”同样愁眉苦脸的还有赵斌他们。

万一寒哥输了怎么办，好不容易凝聚起来的威望，又会因此消散。

不过这话他们不敢当着高寒的面说出来，那不就是不信任他的实力嘛。

“他实力强才要挑战。”高寒似没看出他们的担忧。

赵斌和大力不懂，马则超却眼前一亮，“寒哥威武，我知道了，果然还是寒哥聪明。”

“哈？”赵斌和大力一头雾水，“什么你知道了，到底怎么回事？”

马则超得意洋洋地说道：“寒哥之所以选择林英的原因，寒哥想让所有人知道，他并不惧与强者一战，也不在乎输赢，别人知道了，不会觉得寒哥不自量力，反而会觉得寒哥很有勇气。”

两张恍然大悟的脸，“那万一寒哥输了怎么办？”

“笨，寒哥是炼器学院第一名，你说需要怎么办？”马则超鄙视了他们一眼。

“原来是这样！果然还是寒哥聪明！”两人哈哈大笑。

“不……”高寒不知道为什么他们会解读出这些，他从头到尾都没有想过这些。

“不什么？”三双眼睛盯着他。

高寒淡定脸，一本正经地解释：“我挑战他，只是想挑战他，并没有想那么多，不要过度解读。”

三人：“……”

然而不管高寒怎么想的，那些自诩聪明的人，还是把他的挑战林英的选择，过度的解读成多个版本。

冥冥之中，仿佛自有天定。

与法器学院的敬佩不同，炼器学院那边却觉得高寒会赢，尤其是那些看过高寒第五关考试全过程的人。

法器学院的人觉得，高寒虽然有勇气，但是肯定打不赢林英。

炼器学院的人觉得，高寒和学校的黑衣人都能打成平手，一个林英算什么。

不知什么时候，两个学院的人就吵起来了，严重的，甚至到了见面就互掐起来的地步。

本来只是一场寻常的资源挑战赛，愣是被他们掐出了浓烈的火药味。

第二天，学校将发出资源挑战赛的学生统一安排，高寒和林英的比赛被安排到了下午。

法器学院和炼器学院的人都来了，各占半壁江山，后者都是来看高寒怎么赢法器学院的林英，无形之中，也帮助高寒奠定了炼器学院年级第一的地位和荣誉，袁哲的时代成为了过去。

随着比赛时间的逼近，高寒提前到了。

他在台上站了十分钟。

十分钟后，林英没来。
