Chapter 26: Mystic Mine

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

At this moment, Li Qiang was walking alone on the campus road, as if he was still thinking about the contents of today’s class.

There were many people around him, but none of them walked with him. He looked like a lonely expert.

Not far behind him, Leng Ruzhi looked at Li Qiang’s back. The more she looked at him, the more she felt that something was amiss.

Looking at Li Qiang at this moment, Leng Ruzhi felt as if she had seen herself.

She realized that she seemed to be like this every day.

She was either in the classroom, library, dormitory, or the canteen.

She did not have any other leisure activities or friends.

All she did was cultivate.

And now, seeing Li Qiang’s behavior, she—who originally thought that this was normal—actually felt a trace of worry.

“This is the best outcome for Li Qiang.”

“But… if he really suffered a blow because of me, I can’t just sit back and do nothing.”

“I have to go and explain to him that we’re not suitable for each other, and give him my sincere blessings and encouragement,” she thought.

But her strong sense of righteousness made it impossible for her to give herself an out by saying that this was the best outcome for Li Qiang.

After thinking this through, she took a deep breath and quietly followed him.

However, as soon as she reached the library, she was too embarrassed to go up.

That was because there were too many people here!

There were students studying everywhere.

If she went up to talk to Li Qiang now, they would be misunderstood by everyone.

In the end, Leng Ruzhi convinced herself not to go there by telling herself that the library was a place for studying, so she should not disturb Li Qiang and the other students from studying.

Therefore, she decided to wait till she was done with her studies before speaking to Li Qiang.

With that, Leng Ruzhi found a seat and sat down to read.

However, she could not focus on the content of the book no matter how she tried. She could not help but look in Li Qiang’s direction, wanting him to put down his book and leave the library.

At that moment, Li Qiang, who was sitting in his seat, was frowning.

As Chen Feng’s Shadow Puppet, Li Qiang naturally inherited Chen Feng’s high spirit attribute.

From quite some time ago, he had already noticed Leng Ruzhi paying attention to him.

He felt frustrated by that.

The main reason was that this woman was too troublesome.

Chen Feng did not want his secret to be exposed by Leng Ruzhi.

However, it was useless to think about that now. The only thing Chen Feng could do now was continue to use Li Qiang’s body to read books about combat.

Outside Doveston City.

Chen Feng, who had wrapped himself up tightly and was covered completely from head to toe, walked alone on the road.

Other than the roads leading to other nearby cities, there was nothing related to “civilization” around him.

His surroundings were primitive and barren.

That was not a strange thing.

Once this world was filled with spiritual energy again, humans were no longer the most suitable creatures to live here.

This was such a harsh environment. Naturally, it would not allow humans to leave their footprints all over this place.

Groups of people were squeezed into large cities. That was how society demonstrated the best way for humans to survive.

Villages and towns, places where people lived together in colonies, were destined to be eliminated.

After taking out the map he had prepared in advance and identifying the direction, Li Qiang left the road alone and walked toward the barren land.

He had a clear goal for sneaking out of school.

He wanted to go to the mystic mine!

Coincidentally, there was a small mine between Doveston City and Draupcester City.

Every month, students from the University of Draupcester would come to the mine to deal with the dire beasts outside the mine.

According to the information he had obtained, the last time people from the University of Draupcester came to clean up was half a month ago.

In other words, now was a good time to go to the periphery of the mine.

If he delayed too long, the number of dire beasts might increase, and he might encounter people from the University of Draupcester.

Neither of these was what Chen Feng wanted.

“I hope I can gain something this time,” he thought to himself.

A day passed.

Chen Feng’s main body had already arrived near the mystic mine.

At this moment, he was not in a hurry to enter the mine. Instead, he hid in the nearby Gobi Desert and observed for a while under the moonlight.

After confirming that there was no one around, he took advantage of the cover of the night to sneak over.

However, when he arrived at the entrance of the mine, he felt that something was wrong.

This was because there were two dire beast corpses not far from the entrance of the mine!

If Chen Feng had not read the information carefully, he might have thought that it was a dire beast killed by someone from the University of Draupcester.

However, after carefully reading through all the relevant information, Chen Feng knew very well.

Every time people from the University of Draupcester killed a dire beast, they would try their best to clean it up. They would never let the corpses pile up here like this.

If the corpses were left outside, they would pollute the environment and attract other dire beasts, making it more difficult to clean up next time.

“Could there be someone else here?” wondered Chen Feng.

He narrowed his eyes and looked into the mine.

Unfortunately, due to the special magnetic field in the mystic mine, even though Chen Feng’s spirit attribute had reached 60 points, he was still unable to sense the situation inside.

Retreating seemed to be the better choice!

After all, there was no need for him to have a conflict with others over some ores. That was irrational.

Just as he was thinking this, a system notification suddenly sounded in his mind.

System: “Mission issued: Clean up the mystic mine! (Reward: 10,000 points)”

Chen Feng, who received the notification, was slightly taken aback. He stopped in his tracks.

“On second thought, the mystic mine is such a dangerous place. It’s not good if I just leave here like this without doing anything to help,” he thought.

“It would be a potentially hazardous situation to Doverston City and Draupcester City.”

“On top of that, it is also likely to cause casualties to the students in the University of Draupcester.”

“So that’s why I have to get involved.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“This is done for the sake of world peace, not for the 10,000 points.”

After making up his mind, Chen Feng immediately called out the system store and flipped through the list of goods.

Chen Feng had already memorized all the goods in the shop. Naturally, he knew which item to purchase that would be beneficial for him using those 2,000 points that he currently had.

It did not take long for Chen Feng to locate the item he wanted to purchase.

“[Biological Radar Detection Mask]: Wearing it on the user’s face allows the user to detect a certain range. If the user requires, he can choose to display the status of all the creatures.”

The price was 2,000 points!

Purchase!

Immediately, Chen Feng’s points were almost emptied.

However, a Biological Radar Detection Mask had appeared in his Advanced Resources column.

After taking it out, Chen Feng put on the mask.

It did not take long for Chen Feng to see all the creatures inside the mine.

“There are so many people inside?” he thought incredulously.

At the same time, on campus.

The library was already closed.

After confirming that there was no one in the library, Mr. Huang locked the door and hummed a tune before returning to his dormitory to rest.

In a corner not far away, Leng Ruzhi had a helpless expression.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for a day, there was still no chance for her to make things clear with Li Qiang.

Just as she was about to go back and rest, a figure walking toward the library alone attracted Leng Ruzhi’s attention.

“This is… Chen Feng?”

“The library is closed. Why is he here?” she wondered.
