CHAPTER TEXT:
Eel, the Unicorn Orca's plea for help.
After exchanging for advanced techniques and completing the transformation through the first three levels, Chen Chu did not return home. Instead, he took a fast train back to Baishan Town.
By this time, it was already getting late, and many students were returning to the town's streets, carrying weapons, and even after washing, they still emitted a bloody aura.
“Chen Chu, the second round of tasks was refreshed today. Why weren’t you around?” A student carrying a battle knife greeted him enthusiastically on the way.
This cleanup would last for half a month, and the second round of tasks involved retesting the surrounding areas, plus professional personnel brought along detection equipment for deeper exploration into the mountains.
The number of tasks and the accuracy of information in this round would be a bit less, with many task notes indicating suspected mutated creatures in the area.
Therefore, even though Chen Chu wasn't present in the morning, there was no significant loss, just a couple of tasks he missed.
However, seeing the other party being so enthusiastic, Chen Chu naturally wouldn't act aloof. He smiled slightly and said, "I returned to school for a bit this morning, had some matters to attend to."
“You really missed out. This morning, a task for a mutated beast group was refreshed, and it was taken on by Zhang Zilong and his team, earning dozens of points.”
As he spoke, an envious look appeared on the student's face.
This student was from Class Four next door; Chen Chu had some impression of him. The Zhang Zilong he mentioned was also a student who had returned from trials and reached the three heavens.
This person had teamed up with five or six students who had also returned from trials, all of whom had battle armor and were in the double heaven tier. They had completed some difficult tasks during this time.
Of course, the total contribution points they earned together did not surpass Chen Chu's.
At this moment, another classmate called out from behind, “Brother Chen, please take me along to hunt a third-level mutated beast.”
Chen Chu smiled and nodded, “Sure, just help carry the beast's corpse out of the mountain after we kill it. It’ll help lighten my load too.”
“Haha... Brother Chen, forget what I just said.” The classmate, who was at the late stage of the first level of heaven, chuckled awkwardly.
With his basic arm strength of three hundred kilograms, to carry a third-level mutated beast weighing several tons would be akin to seeking death.
On the way back to the temporary dormitory, many classmates greeted Chen Chu warmly, including students from the Second Rank Martial High and Third Rank Martial High.
The reason was simple; in the past few days, while hunting mutated beasts, Chen Chu often encountered battles. When those classmates found themselves at a disadvantage, he would lend a helping hand.
With his strength, casually picking up a hundred-kilogram rock and throwing it could easily crush an ordinary mutated beast.
Although he had only intervened a few times, word spread, and these students all knew that Chen Chu was very strong, yet humble and kind-hearted.
Thus, his popularity among these classmates had risen recently.
In the cafeteria, Luo Fei looked at Chen Chu, who was increasingly imposing across the table, a bit surprised, “Did you manage to complete the transformation so soon after returning this morning to exchange for techniques?”
“Yeah, I practiced in the training room for half a day, and my true power has transformed.” Chen Chu nodded.
“Of course, you are a genius who has cultivated the dragon elephant skill to the true martial divine rhythm.”
Luo Fei smiled and then changed the subject, “Next, you should prepare to break through the four heavens, right? Do you have enough contribution points?”
Chen Chu glanced at her, “What, are you planning to lend me some ‘money’?”
The girl casually nodded, “Sure, I still have sixty unused contribution points. You can take them and just return them when you go to the Exotic Beast Battlefield for the trials.”
