Chapter 270: Another Encounter
Chapter 270: Another Encounter
As they enjoyed their pan-fried buns and meatballs, Lu Tianjiao also ordered two grilled flatbreads from the nearby snack shop.
After finishing three dishes, Li Qian was thoroughly satisfied.
Although he was away from his hometown and in a foreign place, the food was quite good, and he didn't have any issues adapting to the local cuisine.
After dinner, at Lu Tianjiao's suggestion, they began exploring the school.
Lu Tianjiao took the lead, guiding Li Qian around the campus.
"This is the Martial Arts Hall. Students engage in Companion Beast battles here!" Lu Tianjiao paused in front of an oval-shaped building and explained.
Li Qian stopped to observe, a puzzled expression appearing on his face, "Is this the Battle Arena? It doesn't seem that big, does it?"
In terms of architectural scale, this oval-shaped building was not small. Even if it couldn't compare to a football field, it was still comparable to a basketball court.
However, it was a battle arena designed for Companion Beast battles, where the beasts clashed with their various energies and skills, resulting in terrifying destructive power.
Understandably, a building of this scale would be inadequate to contain such battles.
This was why Li Qian wore a perplexed expression.
Lu Tianjiao, understanding Li Qian's confusion, explained with a smile, "This battle arena is just the surface venue, or you could say it's an entrance. In reality, there's a passage inside the arena that leads to a small secret realm. The actual battles take place within this secret realm."
Li Qian's expression cleared up as he listened to Lu Tianjiao's explanation.
This made sense now.
However, despite his understanding, he couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Could this guy really be just a "local"? How could a local know so much about the Sandzhou Beast Academy, even the internal structure of the battle arena? Li Qian's confusion deepened.
There must be some hidden secrets here.
Or perhaps, the identity and background of this guy in front of him were not as simple as being a "local"?
Despite his doubts, Li Qian didn't voice his questions.
After all, they had just met, and it wouldn't be appropriate to inquire too deeply about such personal matters.
Li Qian had a sense of propriety.
The two continued their conversation as they walked, and around 8:00 p.m., they returned to their dormitory.
As they entered Xianya Courtyard, before reaching the third building where their dormitory was located, Li Qian spotted a familiar figure not far from the entrance.
In front of them, a beautiful silhouette was heading towards Building Four. It resembled the Kucha Clan girl they had seen in the basement earlier.
It was Lu Tianjiao's ex-girlfriend.
After a moment of observation, Li Qian confirmed that the attractive figure walking ahead was indeed Lu Tianjiao's former lover.
"What a deep connection we have here," Li Qian joked with a smile, recognizing the person ahead.
"This isn't a connection, it's a damn curse!" Lu Tianjiao, also noticing the familiar figure, couldn't hold back his curse, unlike Li Qian's lighthearted mood.
"You've met your ex-lover again, and you're not going to say hello? Or are you worried she'll slap you again?" Li Qian nudged him, continuing his playful banter.
"She probably still remembers me, you know. Look at that fierce beauty over there," Lu Tianjiao said, pointing at the attractive figure ahead with a hint of self-admiration.
"If she remembers you, why don't you go and say hello? Maybe you can rekindle the old flame!" Li Qian continued in a teasing tone.
"Nah, let bygones be bygones," Lu Tianjiao shook his head, assuming a carefree and unfettered posture.
Li Qian was about to look at him with newfound respect, but the guy's next words almost broke his composure, "The main thing is, I think I forgot her name. It'd be a bit awkward to just go up and say hi like that..."
Hearing this, Li Qian couldn't help but exclaim 'Holy shit' in his mind.
What a talent! How many ex-girlfriends must he have had to forget their names?
Thinking about himself, being around the same age, but never having held a girl's hand until now, it was quite a sad realization.
Through this incident, Li Qian came to understand that his new neighbor, Lu Tianjiao, was not only shameless and funny but also a real player.
As they watched, the captivating figure turned the corner of the stone-paved road ahead and disappeared into the alley between Buildings Three and Four.
Seeing Lu Tianjiao's ex-girlfriend walk away, Li Qian quickened his pace.
Soon, the two of them returned to the dormitory in Building Three.
Back in the dorm, Li Qian immediately called his parents to let them know he was safe.
During the video call, he saw that his parents were still strolling on a bustling street in Zhonghai City.
The street was lively with many pedestrians.
Seeing this, Li Qian's face lit up with a smile.
It seemed that letting them come out for a vacation was a good decision.
After the call, Li Qian put on his VR goggles and continued his pre-sleep reading habit.
Perhaps due to being in a new and unfamiliar place, his emotions were a bit unsettled, and his reading wasn't very effective.
Around 9:00 p.m. at the end of the month, Li Qian took off his VR goggles, ready to rest.
According to Teacher Jin's statement, they could still rest tomorrow, and the day after that, they would start a week-long military training.
Yes, this was a terrible thing.
In this highly developed Beast Civilization parallel world, there was also the tradition of military training for new students.
Moreover, unlike the military training for freshmen in his previous life, this world's training incorporated various unique elements.
In addition to military exercises, there were also companion beast battles and performances.
Although Li Qian found this incredible, he quickly accepted this fact.
With his thoughts racing, Li Qian tossed and turned on his new bed for about an hour before finally falling asleep.
However, just as he dozed off, not long after, a chaotic noise suddenly reached his ears.
Li Qian didn't pay much attention, and in his half-asleep state, he assumed it was just the noise of some new student from another region moving in.
But soon, the sound became more pronounced, even spreading to outside his windowsill.
At that moment, the energy detection device on his bedside table suddenly emitted a series of beeping sounds.
