Chapter 172: Chapter 172: Enrollment at Dragon Academy, The Different Race in the Forest

“Xiao Yurou, the Type II robots in the hands of Fan Yuer and her three sisters have all been recovered, right?”

Zi Liyuan dragged over a chair and plopped himself down next to Shen Yurou, without fear of interrupting her train of thought, and even rubbed her long black hair.

“Recovered. Do you need it?”

Glancing at Number Two standing not far away, Shen Yurou looked emotionlessly at Lord Zi.

“You focus on training Number Two these next few days, get her up to speed quickly, and raise her level to Second Order Level 40 or above. I need her to pass the Dragon Academy’s entrance assessment.”

Having seen Number Two’s special qualities, Shen Yurou didn’t find it disagreeable to help her quickly gain experience and level up.

After all, she had already led the four crafty vixens of the Fan Family, and now she was merely adding one more to their ranks.

“No problem, leave it to me. I guarantee that in a few days, she’ll be able to enroll with us.”

Shen Yurou took a look at Number Two’s figure, whose height was similar to hers at 175 centimeters; she could certainly lend her external exoskeleton sniper armor for Number Two’s use, though it would need some modifications first.

Number Two was dressed in a tight outfit that showcased her figure’s curves, particularly her exceptionally large melons that seemed ready to burst out of her clothing and take some fresh air.

“Those melons must have grown so big from excessive nutrition!”

Muttering the complaint, even though Shen Yurou felt aggrieved, she had to admit her defeat in the melon-sized competition.

It’s not that our side is weak, but the enemy is not playing by the rules, starting off with a crushing advantage like unleashing a Gundam.

“I’ll leave Number Two to your training. Here are some things I’ve bought for you. Plus, I purchased a large-scale automatic production line yesterday; if you want to craft military machinery, it might need some modifications from you.”

After discussing Number Two’s matters, Zi Liyuan initiated a trade with Shen Yurou.

He then packed all the materials he had bought yesterday into the trade box.

“A large-scale production line? Let me try modifying it first; I’ve never seen such a thing before.”

After receiving a large batch of materials, Shen Yurou promptly shooed Zi Liyuan out of her lab, leaving Number Two with her for the time being.

The evicted Lord Zi turned a corner and entered the Fan Family Four Sisters’ alchemy lab.

“Ladies, stop for a moment and come pick out some suitable silver equipment.”

He handed over the materials he bought yesterday to Fan Yuer while displaying several sets of Level 40 silver hero equipment.

The four previously were only Level 25 and each had a set of Level 20 silver equipment. But now that they were Second Order Level 40, they could indeed use better Second Order silver equipment.

By the way, Lord Zi also obtained four fusion mutation scrolls from the sisters.

Unlike the rewards he had secured for himself, which had profession restrictions, the fusion mutation scrolls obtained by life profession holders after changing their job had no restrictions and could be used by anyone in any profession.

These scrolls had an even lower chance for a successful mutation, but they were valued higher on the market. With four scrolls now in hand, he finally could make a big play with the hundreds of universal skills he had learned earlier.

Time flies, and the years pass by swiftly.

In the blink of an eye, June had come to an end.

On the first of July, bright and early, Zi Liyuan, Shen Yurou, and Mo Yi (Number Two) arrived early at Dragon Academy.

Passing through the spatial gate and following the directions of the guiding jade tablet, the three of them quickly made their way through the mist and soon arrived at a square.

At the moment, the square already hosted a few hundred new students, each queuing up orderly.

And at the front of the line, five teachers were verifying the identities of the students; each person who passed through would walk into a teleportation formation behind the teachers.

The team passed through with great speed, and after only a short wait, it was Zi Liyuan and his two companions’ turn.

After confirming their information was correct, the three of them stepped onto the teleportation formation, and in the next instant, they disappeared from the square.

The world spun, space was displaced, and the trio directly appeared inside a large village established in the forest.

“New students entering the academy, gather over here. Those who wander off will be expelled!”

A vigorous shout boomed from the center of the village, its rolling echoes spreading in all directions, clearly audible.

At the same time, a village map appeared on their guide jade token, marking the location for assembly.

“Isn’t it the enrollment day today? Why have we been teleported to this village? They might be up to something.”

Zi Liyuan wanted to release his Spirit to scout around, but he discovered that his Spirit was completely bound within his body, unable to extend even an inch.

However, Zi Liyuan did not give up his investigation of the surroundings; since his Spirit couldn’t scout, he would use neither Death’s Eye nor Shadow’s Eye.

After releasing the two kinds of enhanced investigatory eyes, every creature’s information within a radius of two kilometers appeared in his mind.

“Interesting, very interesting.”

He looked over the information of these creatures one by one, paying particular attention to a few of the strongest among them.

Zi Liyuan’s face showed a deep color of curiosity.

“What’s up, did you discover something?”

Shen Yurou, who was beside him, immediately noticed the change in someone’s expression and asked directly.

“Different Race!”

These simple three words left Shen Yurou and Number Two deeply shocked.

“Let’s go. Dragon Academy is established within dimensional space, and a great price was paid to turn this particular dimensional space into Fortunate Heaven and Earth. It’s not strange for the Different Race to appear here.”

The term “Different Race” is a general term used for non-human humanoid races.

On Blue Star, there are living members of the Different Race, and even within the Great Xia Empire’s territory, many Different Race groups have been accepted.

These members of the Different Race have appearances similar to Blue Star Humans, but with some distinct differences.

For example, members of the Elf Race usually have long, pointed ears, with the rest of their facial features almost identical to humans.

Then there’s the Dwarf Race, who, aside from being short and stout, are also virtually indistinguishable from humans.

And within the information Zi Liyuan had just scouted, there were thousands from the Niuren Clan living in the village.

With an average height of around 2 meters, each robust with broad shoulders, apart from a pair of sharp horns on their heads, the rest of their body features were no different from humans.

Among the information on the strongest life forms that Zi Liyuan viewed, there were seven at the Fourth Order, two of which were members of the Niuren Clan.

In one village, seven individuals of the Fourth Order, though their exact levels could not be discerned.

“It seems Dragon Academy has its share of secrets. Looks like this first day of the academy will see a test specifically for the new students. You two, stick close to me later, and be cautious.”

After giving instructions, Zi Liyuan took the lead while simultaneously opening his attribute panel, looking first at his skill slots.

Seeing the “Summon Skeleton” skill could be immediately activated, a playful smile appeared on his face.
