Chapter 68: Focus
Chapter 68: Focus
At the Vocational Center.
As a roar, reminiscent of the depths of an abyss, echoed through the air, the breeders in the hall, who had been engrossed in academic discussions, were left bewildered.
"What's going on?"
Everyone came to a halt, their first instinct was to rush out to see what was happening, but before they could even reach the door, they were stopped by the Vocational Center staff.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there's a Summoned Beast running amok outside. For your safety, please remain indoors and avoid any unnecessary movement."
"How is it possible for a Summoned Beast to go berserk in the Vocational Center? What kind of Summoned Beast is it, and what level is it?"
"From the sound of it, it seems to be an Abyssal Lineage Summoned Beast. It's likely at the very least a Leader-level, possibly even a Lord-level. Aren't Summoned Beasts of such caliber prohibited from appearing in cities?"
"What exactly is happening out there?"
...
The staff at the Vocational Center offered little response to the breeders' inquiries, merely instructing them to wait in the hall.
Left with no choice, Li Wu and his companions could only stand by, their curiosity and tension mounting as they strained to listen to the commotion outside.
The ruckus outside seemed to escalate, suggesting a full-blown fight had erupted.
A cacophony of bestial roars, howls, and clashing sounds filled the air, and Li Wu's group didn't need to see it to guess the magnitude of the battle outside from the noise alone.
Li Kai's face turned ashen, his expression grim.
As a professional Summoner, he was far more informed than Li Wu and his friends.
He was well aware that the battle outside was undoubtedly a Lord-level confrontation.
"I never imagined there'd be a madman daring enough to cause trouble at the Vocational Center, and at the Lord level, no less."
Li Kai now regretted bringing Li Wu along, as even a minor ripple from such a high-level battle could easily cost Li Wu his life.
Fortunately, the fight didn't last long.
Within a few minutes, the curtain fell, and without going outside, Li Wu and his group had no way of knowing the outcome.
Soon after the battle concluded, the Vocational Center staff approached them.
"Apologies, there was a minor incident at the Vocational Center.
The bounty mission has been canceled.
Additionally, you may need to remain at the center for a while."
This announcement immediately sparked an uproar in the hall.
"What's going on? How can you just cancel the bounty mission like that? What happened outside?"
"Yeah, what happened out there? Is the cancellation related to the incident? And on what grounds are you restricting our freedom?"
"We came all this way for the bounty, and you're canceling it just like that? Isn't that a bit overbearing?"
...
The Vocational Center staff attempted to pacify the discontented crowd in the hall.
However, despite their efforts, they provided no explanation for the incident outside or the reason for restricting their movement.
How could they explain?
Admit that they had a big shot angler fishing, only to get slapped by the fish?
Even if they managed to capture the disruptive Abyssal Lineage Summoned Beast, the fish had gotten away with the bait?
Such an embarrassing situation was not something the Vocational Center could openly admit.
Hence, they shared no information with the breeders present. Nonetheless, the hall quickly settled down.
Part of the reason was the breeders' awareness that the Vocational Center was an official institution, holding authority over the breeders' certification assessments and knowledge dissemination.
Eighty to ninety percent of those in the hall were non-professional breeders, relying on the center for examinations and knowledge. Even the professionals were under the center's jurisdiction, and on their turf, the breeders had little leverage to cause a scene.
Speaking of which, the Vocational Center wasn't just appeasing them with empty words; they actually offered some substantial benefits.
Firstly, they guaranteed that during their stay at the Vocational Center, there would be at least one Professional Breeder conducting classes for them every day, for a minimum of three hours.
Secondly, after the incident was resolved, they could undergo an examination.
If they passed the examination, they would receive Professional Certificates, and those with outstanding performances might even get a chance to use the Vocational Center's breeding room.
The early examination wasn't the main attraction; the real draw was the classes and the opportunity to use the breeding room.
Needless to say, the chance to be taught by Professional Breeders from the Vocational Center was an extremely rare opportunity.
The opportunity to use the Vocational Center's breeding room was even more precious. Gaining this access meant they could utilize any materials and facilities within the breeding room, an opportunity that even Professional Breeders found challenging to obtain.
With such benefits offered, it was natural for the mentors in the hall to calm down.
In fact, some in the hall had their suspicions about what had transpired and why they were being kept there.
For instance, Li Kai, who had initially guessed that there might be something fishy about this mission.
There were only two possible reasons for this.
One, the bait had successfully attracted a catch, but the commotion was a bit too much, so the Vocational Center offered them some benefits to keep them quiet and provide an explanation if questioned by higher-ups.
Or two, the bait hadn't worked, and the fish might have even taken it, so the Vocational Center suspected that the fish was still around, mixed in with the group, which was why they were being detained.
Li Kai wasn't sure which scenario it was.
If it was the former, then there was no danger, only benefits. But if it was the latter, their current situation might be a bit risky.
With this thought, Li Kai felt a bit anxious and quickly returned to Li Wu's side.
He was already regretting bringing Li Wu along, but regret was useless now; the priority was to protect Li Wu.
As for Li Wu, he was completely unaware of Li Kai's thoughts and felt no sense of crisis.
This wasn't because Li Wu was naive; it was mainly due to his lack of life experience, and his focus at the moment was different from Li Kai's.
All of Li Wu's attention was devoted to the knowledge he had just acquired.
His mind was racing as he meticulously organized the ideas he had gleaned from the breeders.
The insights he gained were significant, causing Li Wu's eyes to sparkle.
Unable to contain his excitement, he signaled to Li Kai, who was standing nearby.
Hurry, hurry, go and liven up the atmosphere again, keep the conversation going! Li Wu gestured, leaving Li Kai with no choice but to go and re-engage the crowd.
What Li Wu didn't know was that this interaction between them had once again caught the attention of the Vocational Center.
Li Kai, a Professional Summoner, was surprisingly respectful and obedient towards Li Wu, a non-professional.
The Vocational Center immediately investigated Li Wu's background and, upon discovering that it was extremely ordinary, their interest in Li Wu skyrocketed.
Li Wu, however, remained oblivious to this. At that moment, he was immersed in a sea of knowledge, and he had a hunch that the Little Skeleton's promotion to Bronze was just around the corner!
