Chapter 350: Mo Yuan City
Chapter 350: Mo Yuan City
After resting in the room for a while, Li Qian left the room at dusk and sat in the lobby, waiting on the sofa.
Soon after, Lu Tianjiao, An Paozi, Sun Ruirui, and Mo Ziyu appeared one after another, and the group set off together.
"I heard that the North Gate of Kansai Beast Academy has a Food Street. Let's go and try it," suggested Sun Ruirui.
An Paozi chimed in, "I just saw this information on the local forum too. Let's go there for dinner tonight."
Sun Ruirui's proposal received everyone's support, and without further delay, they headed straight towards the North Gate.
"This Kansai Beast Academy..." Lu Tianjiao surveyed the scenery within the school, but before he could finish his sentence, Li Qian quickly interrupted, "Kansai Beast Academy is actually pretty good."
Due to the Freshman Challenge Competition, there were still many students inside Kansai Beast Academy at this time.
If Lu Tianjiao continued to speak recklessly, their group would likely become the center of attention.
Li Qian had no intention of gaining such notoriety.
So, he hastily spoke up to stop him.
If he hadn't intervened, who knows what outrageous words would have come out of Lu Tianjiao's mouth.
Seeing that Li Qian had cut off Lu Tianjiao's arrogance, Sun Ruirui also heaved a sigh of relief.
Being with this guy was indeed a bit stressful.
As they walked and talked, the conversation mostly revolved around the Freshman Challenge Competition, and before long, they arrived at the North Gate.
At the same time, on the other side of the school, in a certain building, eight figures stood behind a large glass curtain wall, gazing into the distance at the students coming and going.
"Old Gao, this time, the plan seems a bit too grand, doesn't it?" said a man with a long beard and mustache.
The man next to him, referred to as "Old Gao," was a Mediterranean middle-aged man. He replied, "There's no other way. The irreversible fusion of the dimensional plane with the real world is inevitable."
Without pausing, he continued, "To prevent any surprises when the fusion occurs and to avoid burdening the federal government with too many issues, we must eliminate these rats in the gutters ahead of time."
"But using students as pawns in this plan, and they're freshmen too, isn't that a bit..." A short-haired woman frowned.
"At this point, what's the use of discussing this? What we need to do now is ensure their safety as much as possible and expose more of these pests," said a dark-faced man.
"Rest assured, we've made thorough arrangements. Some 'freshmen' with exceptional abilities have already been planted among them. Aside from the Phoenix Legend, this time, we have other arrangements within Mo Yuan City..."
Although "Old Gao" didn't finish his sentence, his meaning was already very clear, especially the latter half, which gave everyone present a strong sense of confidence.
Aside from the Phoenix Legend, there were other arrangements, implying that this setup was most likely also of legendary status.
"Alright, let's not discuss this further. Let's proceed according to the plan," said the dark-faced man. "Some things are beyond our control. The sacrifices we make now are to prevent greater losses in the future."
"Various cult organizations embedded within human society are like poisonous thorns that must be uprooted sooner or later. The longer they remain, the greater the harm they cause."
"..."
Around 9 p.m., Li Qian and his group returned to the reception hotel of the Kansai Beast Academy.
To rest and prepare for tomorrow's trial, Li Qian went to bed early without reading that night.
The next morning, at 9 a.m., under the leadership of the team leader Jin Qi, all fifty-plus participating students from Shazhou Beast Mastery University arrived at the Kansai Beast Academy's Campus Pet Center.
Li Qian scanned the area and noticed that the Beast Taming Academy had only sent five freshmen to compete, and among them was a familiar face, none other than Ami Liya, who had previously accompanied him to the Moonshadow Bamboo Forest for training.
"Li Qian," Ami Liya greeted him with a wave.
Li Qian responded with a smile.
After a moment, while waiting to enter the dimensional plane, Li Qian took a quick look around and observed that the layout of the Kansai Beast Academy's Campus Pet Center was not much different from that of Shazhou Beast Mastery University.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but feel a sudden surge of curiosity.
He wondered what extraordinary resources might be hidden within the Kansai Beast Academy's Campus Pet Center, and he made a mental note to investigate thoroughly if given the chance.
After waiting for about ten minutes, their group of fifty or so was notified that they could enter.
They stepped through the teleportation array, entered the Adventurer Hall, received temporary adventurer badges, passed security checks, and then stepped into the dimensional plane.
Their figures appeared above the teleportation square of a majestic city.
"This is Mo Yuan City, the dimensional plane city under the jurisdiction of Kansai Beast Academy, and it is said to be a Tier-One city as well," Lu Tianjiao explained, looking around after entering Mo Yuan City.
It seemed that this guy, despite appearing nonchalant, had actually done his homework behind the scenes.
Li Qian nodded, also comparing the two cities. He found that although both cities were Tier-One, their layouts and architectural styles were vastly different.
If Cloud City was wild and free, prioritizing practicality above all else, Mo Yuan City still had its own unique charm.
Most of the buildings were indeed low-rise, but many of them were designed in an ancient style.
The red walls and dark tiles, the flying towers and flowing red, reminded Li Qian of the Zhong Hua family and the prosperous Tang Dynasty of his past life.
"It feels more unique than Cloud City," Li Qian remarked honestly.
This time, when he entered Mo Yuan City, he was with the team from Shazhou Beast Mastery University. Aside from Lu Tianjiao, the only familiar face was Ami Liya.
As for An Paozi, being a spectator, he could only enter later in the afternoon.
Sun Ruirui and Mo Ziyu, needless to say, had entered with the Zhonghai Beast Taming University team.
Li Qian casually scanned the area and, to his surprise, spotted a familiar face in a group not too far away.
It was the guide who had welcomed them to Kansai Beast Academy the other day. Li Qian had assumed he was a staff member or volunteer at the school.
He never expected that the guide would also be a contestant. When Li Qian saw him, the guide was also observing the Shazhou Beast Mastery University team.
Li Qian clearly sensed that the guide's gaze lingered on Lu Tianjiao for a while. This gave Li Qian an ominous feeling that Lu Tianjiao might be in for some trouble this time.
