Chapter 171: Chapter 144: Opening the Golden Treasure Chest
Zongheng Academy.
Inside the principal’s office.
Fang Xiu looked at Li Mu.
Li Mu stared back at Fang Xiu.
After a moment, he turned to the principal, his expression questioning.
"You have to go sooner or later anyway. It’s good to get a look,"
Principal Xiang said after some consideration.
Then, he added, "But when the time comes, you need to protect Fang Xiu. If there’s any danger, just grab him and run!"
"Yeah, okay!"
Li Mu nodded slightly.
He then looked at Fang Xiu and said, "Did you hear what the principal said?"
Fang Xiu nodded. "Yeah."
"Alright, but there’s nothing we can do now. We’ll have to wait until tomorrow."
Li Mu had agreed to Fang Xiu’s request.
However, it was too late in the day to go.
They would have to wait until tomorrow to set off.
"Yeah, okay!"
Fang Xiu said.
There wasn’t much difference between today and tomorrow.
Besides, Fang Xiu hadn’t been home in a few days.
He needed to go back and check on things.
After all, with the Gate World Passage in his house, Fang Xiu couldn’t exactly rest easy!
"Fang Xiu, do you have any other requests? If you do, just say them all now!"
Li Mu didn’t let the conversation get sidetracked by the digression.
He continued to press Fang Xiu for an answer.
"There is one more thing... It’s more of a question, I guess. In that place, do we have to turn on our badge cameras?"
Fang Xiu asked.
He was very resistant to the idea of turning on the camera.
Because of Kajimi, he always felt uneasy about it.
And he didn’t want Kajimi to be discovered.
She was Fang Xiu’s trump card.
He didn’t want to expose her so easily in front of others.
"Oh, so it’s that. Don’t worry. On that training ground, we don’t require any Awakened to turn on their cameras."
Hearing that this was the issue,
Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, some Awakened really didn’t like it.
Originally, it was just used to record and tally Points when an Awakened hunted a Demon Beast.
And most capable Awakened didn’t need such a small amount of Points.
So they usually didn’t wear their badges at all.
They were only required to wear them when entering a Special Gate World.
"Then that’s fine!"
Fang Xiu nodded slightly.
Nothing else was a problem, as long as this one issue could be resolved.
"In that case, I’ll come here to register when school starts."
Fang Xiu said, looking at the principal.
"Zongheng University welcomes you!"
The principal said with a smile.
With a student like him, it was a great opportunity for the university to boost its reputation.
Level 26 right at enrollment.
After four years, who knew what level of strength Fang Xiu would reach?
Level 40? Level 50? Maybe even Level 60.
Xiang Babang’s current strength was only Level 61.
It was just that his Beastification Ability was outstanding, and he was a descendant of Xiang Zongzhen.
It was only right that he became the principal.
"Well, I’m going to head home for now."
Fang Xiu didn’t want to stay here any longer.
After all, he had to set out for the training ground tomorrow.
Principal Yue Tianrui and Uncle Zhao were both there, after all.
So Fang Xiu wanted to go take a look before school started.
"Okay, should I see you out?"
Li Mu offered.
Fang Xiu shook his head and refused. "It’s not very far from my house. I’ll just go by myself. See you here tomorrow!"
"You don’t want me to pick you up directly from your house?"
Li Mu asked.
Of course Fang Xiu couldn’t let Li Mu go to his house. It would be a huge hassle if the Gate World was discovered.
"No need. I don’t want the people around me to think I’m different from them!"
Fang Xiu said casually.
After all, the city was full of ordinary people.
They were indeed different from Fang Xiu.
It was inevitable that some would feel jealous.
Li Mu understood.
Hearing this, he said, "Alright, I’ll see you here then!"
...
After leaving the Zongheng University complex,
Fang Xiu glanced at the stone statue.
The system prompt appeared once again.
’I’ll check it out later and see what it is!’
Fang Xiu wasn’t in a hurry to dig it up.
’This thing might be really important to the school, right?’
Fang Xiu couldn’t just Sacrifice something for his own personal gain.
After leaving the school and walking a relatively long way,
A figure in red appeared at Fang Xiu’s side.
"Master, Kajimi missed you so much!"
This red figure was, of course, none other than Succubus Kajimi.
She cried out, diving straight into Fang Xiu’s arms and hugging him tight.
"Invisibility Technique!"
With a low whisper, Fang Xiu and Kajimi both vanished on the spot.
"Kajimi, don’t hug me like this!"
"But Kajimi missed Master so much!"
"How are you supposed to fly when you’re holding me like this?"
"Just like this!"
"Shit, are you trying to murder your master?"
"Sorry, sorry, Master! I’ll change positions right away!"
"Be gentle!"
"Don’t worry, Master!"
At that moment, a series of voices drifted down from the sky.
It was Fang Xiu, being carried in flight by Kajimi.
They were moving so fast that even if someone were right there, they wouldn’t have been able to make out their conversation.
After all, the beginning of a word would be heard in one place, and the end of it far in the distance.
...
Inside Fang Xiu’s villa.
He was now lying on the sofa, feeling quite comfortable.
Kajimi had already gone to prepare some food for Fang Xiu.
"This Gate World Passage... it seems to have gotten a bit wider!"
Fang Xiu stared at the Gate World Passage before him.
Before, he had only felt that it had gotten a little bigger.
But looking at it now... he realized he hadn’t been imagining things back then.
"Kajimi, do you think this Gate World Passage is still getting bigger?"
Fang Xiu asked casually.
