After sleeping for two years, Yu Tu graduated in a daze. After the graduation photo was taken, he learned a shocking piece of news -
He hasn't finished his required courses yet.
Yu Tu's contribution after the barrier was broken had already filled up the practical credits. Theoretically, Yu Tu could get a diploma directly as long as he completed the required courses, but because he was in a coma for two years, he did not study the third and fourth grade courses. Just to allow this special class to graduate at the same time, Miller approved a special diploma for him.
In other words, when people wake up, they have to start paying off their debts.
Yu Tu: “…”
He has a big life-saving thing he wants to write.
"I've already learned most of the third and fourth grade content..." Yu Tuhe explained to the smiling principal, "There's no need to take two more years of classes with the younger students."
When he was the Marquis of Buye, he was very skilled in life and death. He had mastered the content of the third and fourth grades long ago, but he did not show it as Yu Tu in order to avoid being exposed.
Xie Jianwei knew very well how the Grass and Wood Clan treated their cubs. Although the Grass and Wood Clan doted on their cubs, they were always strict in their education. Yu Tu himself was quite capable, and it was only a matter of time before the elders of the Grass and Wood Clan made up for the missed content he had missed from not coming back to class. Xie Jianwei just wanted to scare this lively little tea sapling that he had not seen for a long time. After all, what he did in the end was much more ferocious than the often worrying Gu Hongying.
The whereabouts of that troublesome senior is unknown, and she can't even threaten her own students?
However, seeing Yu Tu's face full of fear and disbelief, Xie Jianwei softened his heart at an inappropriate time.
Forget it, he is just a child who just woke up not long ago, why bother with him? After all, Elder Di Xiu of the Grass and Wood Clan will teach him a lesson, and by the way, the tribe leader will be taught as well.
"Taking into account your special circumstances, Millerkel has prepared two arrangements for you," Xie Jianwei said. "One is that you return to study for another two years, and the other is that we prepare a separate exam for you, and you only need to pass it."
Yu Tu, who had escaped from a desperate situation, was completely unaware of the subtle traps in the words. For example, "passing" means reaching an average level, while "qualified" often has many different meanings. He just nodded his head, which was awake but not completely awake: "I choose two!"
"Okay." Xie Jian smiled even more kindly. "Go to the training ground in an hour. The teachers in charge of the assessment will be waiting for you there."
An hour later, at the training ground.
Yu Tu used the medal on his chest to identify himself and pushed open the door of the training ground. When he looked up, his smile froze on his face.
In the center of the large training ground stood the principal Xie Jianwei, who had changed his uniform. Behind Xie Jianwei was the elder Di Xiu with a gentle and amiable smile. Next to Di Xiu was the listless clan leader. Next to the clan leader should be the Xu Zhe of Guixu. Although his face could not be seen due to the wide hood, Yu Tu had an inexplicable intuition that this Xu Zhe had a deep grudge against him.
Yu Tu: “…”
He silently took a step back and began to consider whether it would be too late for him to change his mind and make a choice.
Suddenly, a hand from behind stopped him from retreating. Yu Tu was startled. Turning around, he saw Teacher Olivia, whose smile was even kinder than the principal's, with a seemingly well-behaved black crow squatting on her shoulder.
Bella tilted her head and stared at Yu
Tu, gloating, said: "The crows are coming to watch the fun—"
Olivia pinched its beak with ease. "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Yu Tu's heart sank.
Olivia's appearance seemed to be a prelude. The sound of identity recognition kept coming from the entrance of the training ground, and familiar faces came into view one after another. First, it was the friends he spent every day with, then the teachers of Kunlun, and then the special group of the Alien Bureau... Most of the people Yu Tu had known in the past few years came.
His heart, which had been half cold, finally turned cold.
"It's just an exam, there's no need for so many people, right?" Yu Tu could no longer laugh. He looked at Xie Jianwei for help, "Principal!"
Xie Jianwei was a little surprised that Yu Tu would ask him for help, but after scanning the training ground and seeing that the people who were closer to Yu Tu had warmer smiles on their faces, she rarely agreed with Bella's words that they were just watching the fun.
"You were able to single-handedly reach the core of the Nightmare Formation and perish alongside Di Changqing, severing the connection to the Nightmare Formation and saving everyone from disaster—" Xie Jianwei said with particular sincerity, "It's just a little bit of a crowd watching, and a little bit of strength. Classmate Yu Tu doesn't need to make such a fuss."
Yu Tu: “…”
He protested quietly, "This is obviously not a normal exam procedure!"
Xie Jianwei readily accepted the advice: "Psychological endurance is also part of the test. It's normal to look abnormal."
Bella made a "click" sound that died in her throat, like the air leaking out of a balloon.
The reason so many of them showed up wasn't to harass Yu Tu or vent their anger by seeing him in such a state, but because Yu Tu had been in a coma for two years with no signs of waking up, yet he suddenly woke up. Everyone was worried that some unknown method had been planted in him. Canglong and Senior Buyehou had disappeared abruptly, and there was no trace of them to this day. Di Changqing's ending was just as abrupt and sudden as...
Canglong must be aware that Yu Tu is Senior Buyehou's backup plan. They are worried that Canglong will use Di Changqing's death to pin something secret on Yu Tu. Otherwise, how could he be in a coma for two years just because his spiritual power was exhausted, and after waking up, his consciousness, which should have suffered the backlash, is still intact?
———There are too many unsolved mysteries about Yu Tu.
They were just using the name of the exam to show off their abilities and check for any hidden problems in Yu Tu. The exam itself was not important, but after everyone exchanged glances tacitly, they suddenly had the same understanding.
This student/friend/cub needs to tighten his skin!
*
Everyone’s testing method is different. After all the trouble, Yu Tu’s eyes were filled with despair. If he could do it again, taking classes with his junior classmates for two years would seem to be a good choice!
Not only had Yu Tu become obedient, but the Emperor's House had also become obedient. The tree that usually chattered and loved teasing Yu Tu had become unusually silent, its level of cooperation so high that even Kuang Mian was puzzled. Had this tree, which often ran to Guixu to fight him, changed its nature?!
If Kuang Mian could hear what Di Wu was thinking, he would know that Di Wu was feeling guilty. After all, he "stole" a shrunken tea tree seedling from the clan land as soon as it woke up. He didn't inform others until he was done, and even used the teleportation array to perform a dashing walk away... It was indeed a very satisfying thing to do, but he felt a little unsure afterwards. Now everyone is busy "cleaning up" the tree.
Miaomiao, he should just go with the flow.
Who told Tu Tu to be so disobedient?
The patriarch, who was neither right nor confident, thought so.
Diwu's idea turned out to be correct. Although everyone was dissatisfied with his behavior of "kidnapping" Yu Tu, considering that Diwu was relatively honest afterwards, no one had time to deal with him. Although they had checked in the training ground, the Grass and Wood Clan was still worried, and there were many unique checks waiting for Yu Tu after he came back.
The tea tree seedling, which had shrunk to less than knee height, looked at the elders who had gathered in a circle, feeling weak, pitiful and helpless. He looked around and his eyes were fixed on the patriarch who was cowering outside the circle and gloating over his misfortune.
The determined tea sapling exerted its strength with its roots and jumped up. It took advantage of the kindhearted elder Song Rong's shoulders and fell into Diwu's arms with a snap. The branches tightly strangled his neck, and the whole sapling hung on him as if it had been glued with strong glue.
Clan leader Diwu, who was caught off guard by the sapling falling from the sky, said: "???"
Everyone's eyes turned to them.
The branches and leaves of the tea seedlings are tied tighter.
If there's anyone we can share the firepower with, the better!
......
"So—" Hao Zhizhi concluded, "Is this why you didn't go out for half a year after attending the graduation ceremony?"
"Yeah..." Yu Tu said weakly as he stirred the hot drink in his hand, "You don't know what kind of hellish test I went through to get out of the clan!"
He'd been in constant contact with his friends for the past six months, and Yu Tu had sporadically learned about what had happened during his two years of coma, such as Chongming City's post-disaster reconstruction plan, the problems caused by the backflow of spiritual energy from the inner world into the outer world, the comic's suspension, and the permanent loss of Hao Zhizhi's "Talent"...
Yu Tu was sure that he had not lost his memory. When he met familiar people or heard familiar things, he could always recall the related memories. However, trying to connect his memories from beginning to end was shrouded in a thick cloud.
Yu Tu remembered that he was the Marquis of Never Night, and he also remembered every spell he used as the Marquis of Never Night. The memory of the Marquis of Never Night did not disappear, but it was always vague, like watching an immersive movie.
Seeing Yu Tu's hand stirring the drink stop stirring, a look of detached contemplation appeared on his face, Gu Hongying pulled out a silver watch from her waist bag and put it on Yu Tu's hand, forcibly interrupting his recollection—
"Identity verification must be done in person," Gu Hongying said. "This is our team's identity verification. Don't lose it."
Yu Tu was stunned for a moment: "Our team's identity verification?"
"You'll definitely be assigned a position after graduation," Yin Li said calmly. "Because our team's situation is somewhat unique, we weren't incorporated into the top ten special teams. The five of us are now a separate team called the Abnormal Events Special Operations Team, or Abnormal Team for short."
"Maintaining world peace is my job." Eric calmly drank his coffee after Yu Tu subconsciously glanced at him. "Inheriting the family is a part-time job."
Yu Tu: “…”
What an awesome part-time job! He was speechless.
Because of the full schedule of training, inspection, and study in the past six months, Yu Tu has not connected to the network outside the tribe. Now when he suddenly heard the name of his team, he always
Something felt odd: "I have a question. Why are we called the Abnormal Team? It doesn't sound right to me."
As soon as this question was asked, the expressions on the faces of the friends in front of Yu Tu became weird, not only weird but also a little twisted.
Gu Hongying asked softly, "Tutu, do you still remember the name of our team when we were in Chang'an Academy?"
Yu Tu: "Are you lucky that you didn't screw over this team?"
"When we chose the name, we didn't even know about comics—" Hao Zhizhi's expression was hard to describe. "It wasn't until we saw the comics that we realized the readers had given us a new name: the Non-Chieftain Group."
Eric added with a sullen expression, "Many people affectionately call us the Pit Talent Team."
The non-chief group is equivalent to the pit talent team, which is abbreviated as the pit talent team.
Yin Li summed it up for the two of them: "Compared to that, the name 'Alien Team' sounds pretty good."
Yu Tu: “.......Ah?!”
He looked at his cell phone on the table, which he had not had time to switch to the network, and sincerely felt that the name "Alien Team" was indeed very nice.
*
Being released from the Grass Tribe means that Yu Tu has been confirmed to be fine. In order to let him adapt to the current social changes as soon as possible, the four people in the Alien Team discussed and decided to take Yu Tu on a simple mission to feel the intensity and rhythm in the future.
So, one hour, thirty-two minutes, and fifty-seven seconds after Yu Tu left the Grass and Wood Tribe, Gu Hongying stepped on the accelerator and sent him to the headquarters of the Alien Bureau to receive a mission. The building where the mission was issued occupied an entire building, which was arranged in a circle around a huge screen that was divided into two parts.
The screen on the left scrolls through different tasks by level, waiting for personnel to accept them in real time. Urgent tasks are placed at the top in red font. The screen on the right is the ranking of tasks, showing the monthly points and the number of tasks completed. Jiang Jiang's name is at the top, forming a gap with the second place.
Gu Hongying pulled Yu Tu to the self-service window to teach him how to perform exclusive activation. By the way, he complained to Yu Tu about some situations they encountered when they accepted the mission before. Yu Tu followed the prompts on the window and Gu Hongying's guidance and quickly completed the loading of his personal data. The dim one-fifth of the emblem of the Abnormal Event Special Operations Team finally lit up at this time, and the outer circle formed a closed loop.
"TuTu is activated. What missions should we take?" Gu Hongying flipped through the projected mission list and asked the other four for their opinions. "Haunting of the Abandoned Building? Cocoon in the Room? Rift in the Sky? Someone Under the Bed?"
Eric: "Can you give us less horror-themed missions?"
"It's terrifying wherever monsters appear!" Gu Hongying argued confidently, "Even blankets are no longer the agreed-upon truce between humans and monsters!"
"Don't confuse the legend 'ghosts can't catch people under blankets' with reality!" Hao Zhizhi complained, "We need to be rigorous and scientific!"
Yin Li hit the nail on the head: "Is our existence scientific?"
Hao Zhizhi's eyes drifted for a moment: "Ahem—these are two different things!"
They carefully selected a C-rank mission called "Mist in the Forest." As they prepared to collect their weapons at the self-service weapon counter, their silver watches suddenly vibrated. Eric raised his watch and said, unsurprised, "It's Xiaohui again... He's completed two C-rank missions and three D+-rank missions in a row, and this time his points have made it into the top 30 of the monthly leaderboard."
If there are changes in the rankings of the top 30 in the monthly list, reminders will be sent in the mode set by everyone.
Perhaps because the tone of the name sounded familiar, Yu Tu subconsciously asked, "Xiao Hui?"
"A senior who joined the demon tribe more than a year ago." Gu Hongying had a bitter face and felt the pressure rising up, "The super king of rolls in another department."!
