Chapter 640: Chapter 464: Sky City, Disappeared?!

Every “Trial Class Student” has a “Flying Snake” as their war pet.

This Insect Race creature has cicada-like wings, can grow up to four meters long, and its wings are adorned with natural Floating Engravings. It has a triangular-shaped snake head, venomous fangs, and a forked tongue, hence the name “Flying Snake.”

Although its appearance is somewhat ugly, the “Flying Snake” is herbivorous, surviving just fine on a diet of grass.

Its Racial Value ceiling is about Level Three, with the strongest individuals capable of reaching Level Four.

Numerous students received a Flying Snake each, their faces excited as they began to feed them; they have longed for a flying pet like this.

As for the issue of their unsightly appearance–well, you see them everywhere, so you gradually get used to it.

The “Flying Snakes,” one after another, hiss as they flicker their slender tongues, enjoying the purple substance fed to them by the students.

It’s not that Humans don’t have airplanes or helicopters; it’s just that “Flying Snakes” have an absolute cost advantage, and their speed isn’t bad either. A Level Two Flying Snake can carry 100-200 kilograms, while a Level Three can reach up to 300 kilograms, which is definitely enough.

On a high platform, Jin Dongliang watches the children smiling joyously, yet he sighs quietly to himself: “It’s these insects that have been through the toughest times with us.”

“What Third-level Civilization, indeed our strength has grown, but our expenditures are skyrocketing, too. All kinds of mechanical equipment and bizarre items cost money, like a bottomless pit.”

“Back in the day when we were destitute, we’d just wield a small knife and go hand-to-hand in combat, with transportation relying solely on ‘Sky Fortress’ and ‘Flying Dragons.’

“These young people…”

Rat Artisans are tinkering with various mechanical armors and drones on the side, disdainfully saying: “Old Jin, you’re really getting old, always living in the past.”

“Youngsters might spend more, but they also earn more. Your way of thinking is outdated; you might as well retire to let others take over.”

Jin Dongliang immediately flared his nostrils and glared: “What nonsense, I’m still very young! I’m not even six hundred years old yet, how old are you, old timer?”

The Ratman crossed his neck: “Don’t ask, or I’ll strike if you ask about my age again!”

Jin Dongliang suddenly looked sheepish, well, in a Third-level Civilization, the status of a craftsman is still revered, truly no way around it.

The Ratmen have been thriving these years, participating in labor and mooching off Human Qi Fortune. Just with Legendary Equipment, they’ve forged a total of eight pieces!

The most badass master artisan of Rat Craftsmanship even feels that as long as he has an epiphany, he could craft Epic Level equipment!

Of course, they have also gradually changed their mindset, no longer clinging to hatchets, knives, armor, and the like, but taking a liking to airplanes, cannons, and other weapons, as well as some functional production tools, keeping up with the times.

“Is this kind of experience class useful?” The Rat Craftsman suddenly asked.

“I mean, it’s not a bad thing to have a bit of pride, but you guys insist on rushing to kill their pride. Really strict.”

“What’s there to be proud of? Did they establish this civilization? Have they made any contributions? Have they carried a gun for Humanity?” Jin Dongliang spoke with disdain, “This arrogance must be quashed, or it will lead to endless troubles.”

…

The students below got accustomed to their partners for a while, carefully feeding them.

Then, they began their first treasure hunt in life.

“Follow my lead, start flying.” Lu Ying took the lead, “All student captains step forward and check the reins of your classmates; don’t let anyone fall to their death midway.”

“Yes!”

Thirteen-year-old Hai Peng possesses a Divine Skill–“Eye of Identification.”

This is an Upper Ability of Identification, indicating that he is a premium talent.

So, Hai Peng is somewhat conceited and not very fond of studying. He doesn’t have good classroom discipline, making him a veteran problem student.

“I will definitely find the treasure! I will uncover Refined gold!” Hai Peng reminded himself in his heart, “I will make everyone take notice!”

The rest of the kids are all rubbing their hands together as well, expecting to gain a decent harvest.

Young people, with a little skill and the backing of a flourishing civilization, tend to be somewhat overly optimistic.

Despite the current City being tens of thousands of meters in the sky, which frightens some of the kids, they don’t show it on the surface at all.

“Whoosh!”

Colonel Lu Ying jumped off the edge of the City, his Flying Snake unfurling its cicada wings and quickly stabilizing in the air, starting to glide at high speed.

“Hey—-” Lu Ying shouted excitedly and then said in the headset, “Let’s begin, students! Trust your partners!”

This high-speed gliding, coupled with the Colonel’s encouragement, stimulates the nerves of the children.

One by one, they mustered their courage, steering the Flying Snakes, and jumped out.

“Ahh!!”

In the first minute, Hai Peng experienced the howling wind and freefall, his adrenaline soaring as goosebumps sprang up all over his body.

The next second, a miraculous buoyancy firmly supported his body.

Actually, Flying Snakes don’t require too much control and will fly automatically. This sensation of racing as fast as lightning is indeed a romantic experience unique to men.

Glancing back unintentionally, Hai Peng saw the entire expanse of the huge city–from below looking up, it was utterly different, like how mortals view the palaces of gods in the sky.

It is truly large and majestic; it is our homeland!

It is the crystallization of wisdom and sweat!

A strong sense of pride and belonging to the civilization swelled in Hai Peng’s heart.

“Our City is truly powerful!”
