On the next day.
Early in the morning, Zhang Xuan tidied up the exclusive school uniform of the Four Sages Academy in front of the mirror and pinned the insignia of the Azure
Dragon Institute on his chest.
Then, he went outside the villa to wait for his old acquaintance, Zhou Yi.
Yesterday, Zhang Xuan learned from the dean that she would be in charge of leading him to understand the Azure Dragon Institute in detail today.
Zhang Xuan wasn’t surprised to know that she was also a student of the Four Sages Academy. After all, Zhou Yi was also a Rare-class assassin at that time. It was normal for her to be able to enter the school.
“He’s new, right? He looks so young!’
“He’s a newcomer, don’t scare him!”
“Why don’t we go up and greet him?”
Zhang Xuan’s appearance was actually quite eye-catching here, so he immediately attracted the attention of a few female students passing by.
Hearing the few female students not far away discussing him unscrupulously, Zhang Xuan’s face twitched. Why did it feel like he was being stared at by a few hungry wolves?
Seeing that the female students were discussing as they approached, Zhang Xuan was about to dodge when he heard a familiar voice.
“Wow! I didn’t expect you to get in with the top score in the country. You’re too awesome!”
Zhou Yi ran to Zhang Xuan excitedly. Her sudden interception made a few female students not far away roll their eyes and walk away unhappily.
Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Zhou Yi.
She was wearing the student uniform of the Four Sages Academy, with a phoenix-shaped emblem on her chest. Previously, Zhang Xuan had already learned from Dean Dai that she was from the Vermillion Bird Academy.
Her identity was the granddaughter of the previous principal of the Vermillion Bird Institute. This wasn’t difficult to explain her series of rich women’s actions previously.
“I didn’t expect you to be a student of the Four Sages Academy either. But I remember that you’re looking for the Abyssal Envoys, right?”
At the mention of this, a look of displeasure immediately appeared on Zhou Yi’s face. Then, she complained, “Originally, I received news that an Abyssal Envoy had appeared nearby.”
“But when I rushed over, Uncle Jiang had already ended the battle. Perhaps I really have no fate with the Abyssal Envoys.”
“But why have you been so obsessed with finding the Abyssal Envoys?’
Seeing Zhou Yi’s disappointed expression, Zhang Xuan couldn’t help but ask curiously. This was because the first time the two of them met, Zhou Yi was looking for the Abyssal Envoys.
Zhang Xuan had never had the time to ask about this.
“Actually, I need a rare material called the Abyss Green Pearl to forge a weapon.”
“But this material can only be found in monsters affected by the Abyssal Aura. The drop rate of ordinary berserk monsters is pitifully low, so I plan to look for the Abyssal Envoys.”
Zhou Yi sighed as she spoke. Hearing her say this, Zhang Xuan was actually a little puzzled. With her family background, wouldn’t it be fine if she just paid a high price for these materials?
As if sensing Zhang Xuan’s doubts, Zhou Yi looked around and leaned closer to whisper, “You should know about Abyssal Weapons, right?”
Zhang Xuan shook his head. He had never heard of an Abyssal Weapon. There was no information related to such a weapon in his past memories.
“Actually, I secretly snatched an Abyssal Weapon’s blueprint sold by the Poison Fiend Assassin Alliance in the black market.”
“The attributes and aspects of an Abyssal Weapon are stronger than ordinary legendary weapons, but weapon forging requires a large number of Abyssal Green Pearls.”
“However, the weapon is a one-time use item. Moreover, it will consume Abyss Green Pearls every time it’s used. Therefore, the Abyss Green Pearl is very rare on the market. The people who obtain it won’t sell it casually.”
“But my Grandpa wouldn’t allow me to use an Abyssal Weapon because he was worried that such a weapon from the abyss would eventually eat away at a person’s mind, even though there was no case.”
“That’s why I sneaked out by myself. Firstly, to obtain the Abyssal Pearl. Secondly, to kill an Abyssal Envoy and prove to Grandpa that I won’t be bewitched.”
At this point, Zhou Yi sighed regretfully again.
Zhang Xuan finally understood the specific use of the Abyss Green Pearl. Although he didn’t rely much on weapons, he still had some thoughts about surpassing legendary weapons.
“You should have collected a lot of Abyss Green Pearls, right? How many do you lack now?”
“About 17.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Yi couldn’t help but be stunned. She looked at Zhang Xuan in surprise because Zhang Xuan had sent 20 Abyss Green Pearls to her!
Previously, Zhang Xuan had dealt with two berserk monsters and had accumulated about 50 Abyss Green Pearls.
Initially, he had planned to find out through the Exchange Center when he returned. However, Liu Tangshan had disrupted his plan, so he put this matter on hold.
“Thank you! You actually gave me so many Abyss Green Pearls at once. How much do you want?”
Zhou Yi’s face was filled with uncontrollable joy. It was obvious that she was a silly child from a rich family. If Zhang Xuan had any less conscience, he would at least cheat her. “There’s no need for money, but if you can find an Abyssal Weapon suitable for mages, you can sell it to me.”
“Alright, it’s a deal. In return, I’ll bring you to familiarize yourself with the Four
Sages Academy. I’ll bear all the expenses!’
Zhang Xuan didn’t refuse. Although he had learned a lot of information through the magic platform yesterday, he hadn’t seen much with his own eyes.
With Zhou Yi as his guide, he could better understand the internal situation of the Four Sages Academy.
There was nothing to understand about food. After all, he could satisfy his hunger with whatever he wanted to eat.
Moreover, they were the freshest foods transmitted through the magic array after being made by professional chefs. There was no need to worry about the quality at all.
In terms of transactions, there was also a class advancement players’ Exchange
Center that covered the entire country. It was opened in the Azure Dragon Institute. Usually, students would bring the equipment and materials from the novice dungeon here to sell for gold coins.
Of course, the Azure Dragon Institute also had its own exclusive Exchange Center. Unlike the magic circle, the Azure Dragon Institute’s Exchange Center could conduct bidding and auctions, while the magic circle was a one-time deal.
“There are many things that can be done through points within the academy. As long as it’s established by mutual agreement, the academy won’t interfere.” As Zhou Yi explained, she gestured to Zhang Xuan mysteriously. Zhang Xuan turned around and saw a man and a woman discussing something.
Then, the two of them came to an agreement and left by means of transportation.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Xuan couldn’t help but ask, “Isn’t the institute afraid that something will go wrong?’
“Of course, as long as the students can guarantee that their strength can keep up and reach the standard for the monthly assessment, the academy won’t interfere with the students’ actions. Some class advancement players will even work on this because of the difficulty in obtaining points.”
When Zhang Xuan heard this, he couldn’t help but look at Zhou Yi. However, this made Zhou Yi blush.
“You… don’t think too much. I just heard it from my classmates in the academy.
I’m just repeating it to you.. I..
