Doomsday Totem

Chapter 124
After thinking for a while, Huang Yu clapped his hands and said, "Yes! Aren't you from the Temple of War Bear? Doing college tasks to make money." Tie Slag shook his head, expressing his incomprehension.Although the information he consulted last night showed that the academy would regularly issue missions in the Hall of God of War, the specific mission content was not explained in detail.

"Your combat power evaluation..." Huang Yu choked in the middle of speaking.He suddenly remembered that it is very impolite to test other people's combat power assessment, which is a deep personal privacy.He patted his head and apologized to Tie Slag, saying that he didn't mean to ask that question.

"I'm a traditional evolutionary, with middle-level combat power in silver." Iron Slag answered simply.From his point of view, this is not a kind of privacy, any physique scanner can analyze his combat strength.Since absorbing the life of the worm, his worming ability has all been dormant.This caused his combat power evaluation to plummet, from the gold level to the silver middle level.

However, this assessment of combat power is not accurate.Physique scanners can only analyze combat strength by collecting data on muscle strength and spiritual energy concentration, and cannot touch the level of combat skills.Iron Slag has practiced ancient fighting techniques, and his actual combat power is much higher than the estimated value, so it doesn't matter if others know his superficial strength.

After getting his answer, Huang Yu took a deep breath, thanked him for his trust, and then analyzed the mission of the academy in detail.

Tasks are roughly divided into four categories, namely life, research, investigation and exploration.

There are all kinds of life-related tasks, including campus homicides, handling disputes, assisting the court to analyze artifacts, purchasing supplies, delivering letters, etc. Even if an old professor loses his pet, it may become one of the tasks of the college.

Research tasks are generally experimental projects, which have high requirements on the academic level of the students.Huang Yu said that he didn't understand this kind of task, and he had to ask the teacher for details.Tie Zha casually asked Huang Yu what subject he majored in.Huang Yu said that his goal is to obtain the "Mech and Vehicle Driver Qualification Certificate", majoring in intermediate mech operation, advanced vehicle driving, elementary mechanical maintenance, and elementary electronic system maintenance.Huang Yu thought that both he and Tie Slag were preparing to be soldiers, and these research tasks were not their taste, so they skipped it and continued to analyze.

Reconnaissance missions involve combat, which can be dangerous.The four colleges in No. [-] Silver City all have the obligation to monitor and control mutant creatures.Therefore, the academy will often issue missions to collect biological data and collect samples from the central continent, the southern continent, and various parts of the ocean.These missions may encounter unknown battles. Most of the participating students go in teams, and there are also a small number of outstanding abilities who act alone.

Huang Yu said that Iron Slag has a silver-level combat power, so he can consider joining the mission team to earn credits.Of course, Iron Slag can also form a team by himself, but the premise is that he has enough funds and contacts.

As for the last item—exploration tasks, not only can Iron Slag not have to think about it at this stage, maybe he doesn't have to think about it in the future.

Because, exploration tasks are mainly aimed at the exploration of unknown planes.It is extremely dangerous and requires a lot of money and a very wide network of people to form an expedition team.Combatants, scientific research personnel, medical personnel, logistics personnel, mecha power armor, and aircraft vehicles are all indispensable.

"Why does this kind of task appear in the academy? Isn't this what Yincheng officials should do?" Tie Zha couldn't help asking, even if he didn't understand Yincheng's rules, he knew that this kind of task was not something that student soldiers could do.

"Good question!" Huang Yu praised with a thumbs up, and then explained to Tie Slag.

Exploration tasks are the product of the cooperation between the "Academy Alliance" and the "World Parliament".It is precisely because there are too many casualties in exploring the alien plane, and the military of Yincheng all over the country is self-respecting, and they are unwilling to send their elites to die, so the exploration missions were born.

The reason is very simple. Most of the student soldiers in the school have no camp, and they die as soon as they die.However, in order to ensure that the students are not going to die in vain, if they want to undertake exploration tasks, they must first pass the academy's assessment.If the standard is not met, the task cannot be accepted.

Even so, there are still many students who flock to it. After all, there are as many rewards as there are risks.The rewards for exploration missions are unimaginably rich, and those who want to get rich overnight will naturally not miss it...

Unknowingly, the two chatted until six o'clock in the afternoon.Huang Yu looked at the time, he was already late!Hastily urged Iron Slag to attend the appointment.

A few minutes later, the two arrived at the canteen on Zhucage Street.From a distance, Qin Ke'er was seen standing at the door of the dining hall with pursed mouth, looking around, Tie Slag frowned, and just wanted to turn around and leave.

"You're late." Qin Ke'er muttered.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's my delay, it's my fault." Huang Yu took care of everything as soon as he came up, and Tie Zha's depressed mood was immediately relieved.

"Hmph!" Qin Ke'er stuck out her tongue at Tie Slag, then turned and walked into the dining hall.

"She has a crush on you." Huang Yu whispered.Tie Slag tilted his head and glanced at him, then whispered, "Impossible."

"I'll explain to you when I get back." Seeing Qin Ke'er walking into the dining hall, Huang Yu hurriedly dragged Tie Slag in to follow.

There were three girls sitting at a long table not far away, Qin Ke'er went to sit among them, and motioned for Tie Slag to come over with his eyes.

"Hi~ Hello." The three girls waved to the two in unison.

"Hi~ Good evening, beauties." Huang Yu responded enthusiastically to them.

Iron Slag nodded, and then sat down.The three girls in front of me are all average in appearance, one is fat, one is thin, and the other has a freckled face.When the four of them sat together, Qin Ke'er was as beautiful as a fairy.

Then, Qin Ke'er introduced the three of them one by one. The fat one is called Li Sha, the thin one is called Sophie, and the one with freckles is called Omi. (I would like to use this to express my greetings to my friends Sha Mao and Jiandong.)
During this period, Tie Slag only nodded and did not speak.He just sat there, a little cold.Fortunately, Huang Yu's enthusiasm did not let the scene cool down.

"Beauties, what do you want to eat?" Huang Yu asked.

"I want scrambled eggs with tomatoes." "I want steak." "I want macaroni bolognese." "I want cake." "I want chicken steak." "Remember to get a green salad." The girls were chattering, Huang Yu quickly took out the communicator and recorded the dishes they ordered.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Tie Slag couldn't help wondering, didn't Qin Keer say that he was going to invite him to dinner, why did it become his treat...

After a while, Huang Yu memorized the dishes, and took Iron Slag to the dining window to get food and vegetables.When it was time to pay the bill, Huang Yu took out the magnetic card and wanted to swipe it.Tie Slag immediately stopped him, saying that Qin Keer was called by him and he should pay the bill.But Huang Yu said that Qin Ke'er brought him to meet girls, and he should pay the bill.The two argued for a while, and finally Huang Yu proposed that one person should be half, otherwise he would lose face, so Tie Slag had no choice but to agree.

The reason why Tie Slag didn't want others to pay for him was because the old man Tie taught him since he was a child: "Eating people is short-sighted, but taking people softly." Taking advantage of others, it is not easy to turn against others if there is a conflict of interest in the future.You can't be passive in the future for petty gains.In the Northern Wilderness Continent, there are often people who are still friends today, and maybe tomorrow, they will stab a knife in the back for their own interests. Such people abound.

Of course, there are also some people who will not show mercy even if they have benefited from others, and they will take action when it is time to do so.However, it is this kind of person that the old man Tie despises the most in his life. He hurts others to benefit himself in order to survive, but ungrateful is not a human being.Therefore, Tie Slag will not easily accept favors from others. This is the survival rule of the Northern Wilderness, which is both cruel and practical.At the same time, this style of dealing with things also led to his few friends.For a long time, he had only one friend, Lao Niu.

Although there are few friends, they can take each other with sincerity.At a critical moment, one real brother is definitely more useful than a hundred fake brothers.

The girls asked for a lot of dishes, and Tie Slag and Huang Yu went back and forth several times before they got everything together.

During the dinner, Tie Slag remained reticent, eating in silence.It's not that he dislikes other girls for not being pretty, but that he's not used to such occasions, and feels a little strange.Huang Yu, on the other hand, was acquainted, chattering non-stop, making the three girls laugh out loud.

Perhaps affected by the iron slag, Qin Ke'er ate absent-mindedly.Occasionally, when her roommate laughed, she also laughed, but the smile was a bit forced.

"Hey, handsome guy, why are you just eating and not talking?" the thinner girl said with a smile.

"That's right, why don't you talk." "Is it because Ke'er bullied you, we'll help you deal with her." The other two girls said cheerfully.

"Just arrived here, I'm still not used to it." Tie Slag said sincerely.

"Yo~ I just came here~" "It's okay, it's okay, my sisters will teach you~" "Where do you want to go, my sister will take you~"

"This……"

Tie Slag looked a little embarrassed, Qin Ke'er saw this, hurriedly pushed the girl beside him, and said angrily: "Go, go, don't tease him!"

"Yo~ Ke'er is angry~" "Oh~ I'm protecting my boyfriend~" "Look, your elbows are turning out~" The three girls laughed.

In an instant, the red tide surged up along Qin Ke'er's neck, and the roots of his ears became red in an instant.She lowered her head, not even daring to answer...

After half an hour...

This difficult dinner was finally over, and Tie Slag and Huang Yu cleaned up the tableware together.Just as I was about to leave, I was stopped by several girls, saying that we would go for a walk by the lake together.Tie Slag didn't really want to go, but couldn't stand Huang Yu's begging eyes, so he finally agreed.

Not long after, two men and four women strolled by Bailu Lake.At this time, the sky was getting dark, and the floor lamps in the grass were lit up one after another.The dim light shines through the grass leaves, emitting a trace of blue light, making the scenery by the lake quiet and pleasant.

As they walked, Iron Slag naturally fell behind and followed the crowd not far or near.

Huang Yu and the three girls walked in front, chatting passionately.

Unknowingly, Qin Ke'er also fell behind, walking side by side with Tie Slag.

"You don't talk all day long, what are you thinking about?" Qin Ke'er asked softly.

"I want to ask you a question." Tie Slag said.

"Please say~"

"In aristocratic language, what does 'Yangai' mean?" Tie Slag asked earnestly.

"Ke'er feels very honored to have your advice." Qin Ke'er stared at Tie Slag, her two bright eyes sparkling under the moonlight.

"Ok?"

"You're just 'should'." Looking at the young man's sincere expression, she couldn't help pursing her lips and laughing.
