Chapter 153: Nicholas the Timid Dragon’s Gift

“Off to the capital for a deployment mission?”

Bai Qi looked somewhat reluctant as he examined the file handed to him by Zhang Shan.

He was counting on scoring more points to exchange for legendary materials. Now, being deployed somewhere with an indefinite return date would impede his point accumulation.

“Can I refuse?”

Zhang Shan nodded, “Of course you can. Although it’s an order from the Association president, refusing is within your rights.”

Wow, there’s not even a hint of bribery; are they resorting to bullying now?

Bai Qi sighed quietly, “Could I know the details of the task? After all, I’m only a Third Stage Beast Master, I don’t think I would be of much help, would I?”

Upon hearing Bai Qi, Zhou Yan and others who were listening nearby out of curiosity rolled their eyes in unison.

Just a Third Stage Beast Master, he said! It’s just that simple!

Have you ever seen a Third Stage Beast Master who could take down a Four Stage Ferocious Beast?

Zhang Shan shook his head, “I wasn’t informed of the specifics of the mission. You can ask the accompanying personnel when the time comes.” “Accompanying personnel?”

Bai Qi froze, then saw Luo Xiang walk in from outside and wave at him, “No need to guess, it’s me.”

“Alright, I think I get the gist of it.”

Luo Xiang had deciphered the most Secret Realm Towers in the Association. If he was going, it was safe to say it was related to the Secret Realm Towers.

But there were plenty of Secret Realm Towers in Songlin City, and several of them were yet to be deciphered. Was it necessary to go all the way to the capital?

Luo Xiang approached Bai Qi, “Don’t worry, you’re excused from your combat class. For other classes, the old man said all you need to do is pass the final assessment.”

Bai Qi scratched his head, he wasn’t bothered about the assessment, but about the points!

Seeing Bai Qi’s reaction, Luo Xiang chuckled, “I know what you’re thinking. You will be able to earn points during the deployment mission. It won’t be any less than what you get from regular training.”

“Then there’s no issue.”

Hearing this, Bai Qi sighed in relief. As long as it didn’t affect his ability to get points to trade for legendary material, he didn’t really care about the task.

“We were supposed to leave today, but because they added you at the last minute, it’s postponed to tomorrow. You should wrap up your affairs as soon as possible.”

Bai Qi nodded, he hadn’t even been at the headquarters for a month, so the only thing he had to take care of was Nicholas the Dragon.

“If you’re leaving Instructor Luo, who will teach our rune class?”

Finally, someone noticed the problem. Luo Xiang’s face instantly showed a sly smile, patted Zhang Shan who was beside him and said, “Of course, it will be Teacher Zhang.”

Upon hearing this, everyone erupted in uproar, sensing a bleak future ahead.

Bai Yuxiao came next to Luo Xiang and quietly said, “Um, Xiang bro, consider taking me along? After all, I study history and I’m an absolute pro!”

Luo Xiang shrugged, “I don’t mind, but are you certain you won’t be beaten to death by Tower Master Bai?”

“Never mind that then, my dad might really kill me.”

Bai Yuxiao shrank his neck and no longer spoke.

” I need to contact the capital now, so I’ 11 leave first. I’ 11 come to your room to fetch you tomorrow.”

Luo Xiang pulled Zhang Shan along and said to the other students, “I still need to give a crash course to your Teacher Zhang. Your Rune class today will be a self-study session!”

“Long live Instructor Luo!”

Upon hearing Luo Xiang’s words, Zhou Yan immediately cheered but noticed the others trying to suppress their laughter, looking at her oddly.

Zhou Yan immediately figured out the awkward situation and turned stiffly. Sure enough, Zhang Shan was silently watching her and his constant somber expression made it impossible for Zhou Yan to read his thoughts.

Great, joy turning into sorrow…

Thankfully, Zhang Shan didn’t have the habit of lashing out on the spot and took one more glance at Zhou Yan before leaving with Luo Xiang.

Once they confirmed Zhang Shan had indeed left, the other students finally cheered. Bai Yuxiao quietly gave Zhou Yan a thumbs up.

“Sister Yan, you are fearless, daring to act this way right in front of our icy- faced man. Accept my respect!”

Zhou Yan’s eyes twitched. Just as she was about to lash out, Bai Qiucha, who rarely participated in such jokes, couldn’t help but tease her, “Yan sister, I know you’re happy, but I think Teacher Zhang might have a grievance with you, don’t you think?”

“You two…”

Zhou Yan’s veins popped out on her forehead and she felt an urge to beat these two.

“Don’t worry, Teacher Zhang has always been fair. He definitely won’t let personal matters affect your studies, but off the record…”

“Dead for sure.”

Li Mu’s final words doused Zhou Yan’s fiery spirit, rendering her listless.

She suddenly thought, why not attend the rune class?

Seeing Zhou Yan’s reactions, the other students couldn’t help but chuckle. Subsequently, they left the assembly hall in groups.

From the time they began the formal training regime, their schedules had been jam-packed. As they now had a rare chance to rest, they absolutely wanted to cherish it.

Bai Qiucha walked up to Bai Qi, expressing some regret, “I actually wanted to have a full-on practice match with you, but it seems like there’s no chance now.”

Because Bai Qi had been training his Slime Monster, he would usually have that creature participate in the Tower of Competition and so Bai Qiucha never had the opportunity to spar with Bai Qi.

Now with Husky demonstrating power far surpassing its level, he naturally wished to have a good fight with Bai Qi.

However, Bai Qi now had to head out on an assignment soon, giving priority to managing everything related to the Legendary Giant Dragon. It would be inappropriate to challenge him to a fight now.

“No worries. Judging by Luo Xiang’s words, I should be back soon, we can fight then.”

Bai Qi shrugged, laughing, “Who knows? By then I might have become a Four Stage Beast Master.”

“Ha, you think becoming a Four Stage Beast Master is as easy as climbing stairs? You just declare it and it happens? If you manage to advance within a month, I’ll live-stream myself eating…”

Bai Yuxiao sneered and started talking, but instinctively stopped halfway.

Even though he had joined the training camp temporarily, he had heard loads about Bai Qi over these days and was well aware of how quickly Bai Qi had become a Beast Master.

Could this fellow really advance to Four Stage within a month?

Impossible, advancement after the Third Stage isn’t that easy. He couldn’t possibly surpass this young master in talent, right?

Right, impossible.

With that, confidence returned to Bai Yuxiao’s face. He was just about to finish his sentence when he was interrupted by Lu Qing.

“Although I don’t mind watching your live stream, to avoid hurting everyone’s eyes, I recommend you be more careful with your words.”

“Uh, forget I said anything.”

Seeing Lu Qing’s response, Bai Yuxiao awkwardly swallowed his words.

“I need to make a trip to the Green Dragon Secret Realm, we’ll chat later.”

Bai Qi waved at them and then took his leave.

He didn’t have much to pack in his dormitory, so after he got to the range of the teleportation to the Green Dragon Secret Realm, he activated the Green Dragon Pendant and arrived in the Realm.

Nicholas, who was meticulously taking care of the supplements in Jade Valley, saw Bai Qi return so quickly and asked with confusion, “How come you’re back so soon, Bai Qi?”

“I’ve been gone for three days, how is that quick?”

Bai Qi rolled his eyes and said, “But I might need to leave for a while after this, so I probably won’t be able to come here and see you often.”

“You won’t be coming anymore?”

Upon hearing Bai Qi’s words, Nicholas instantly put down his tools and said, “Did you break the rules, Bai Qi? Did you offend those scary creatures outside? How disloyal of you! If they come looking for me, I won’t be able to handle them!”

“How aboutthis,I’ll run with you!”

With that, Nicholas turned around and ran into the cave, seemingly making preparations to escape.

“Just how many weird TV shows have you been watching in the past few days…”

Bai Qi sighed helplessly, “I’m simply going on a mission, if it goes smoothly I could be back in a few days. I’m not running away.”

“Oh, that’s good. That scared me.”

Nicholas quickly sighed in relief upon hearing this and continued sorting out his plants.

Damn, when did Nicholas start to get so opportunistic?

No good. It seems like besides nurturing his high-end tastes, I also have to reshape his values.

Bai Qi silently planned future lessons for Nicholas, “You sure there’s nothing you need me to prepare for you? Once I’m gone, there won’t be anyone around to find you.”

“No worries, I survived all these years. Plus, it’s not bad taking care of the plants every day either.”

Nicholas considered it and said, “Can you find me some horticulture materials? I saw on TV that a lot of impressive people enjoy doing this.”

Well, his intentions could be purer.

Bai Qi couldn’t help but tease him, but he still ran out to buy a bunch of horticulture books for him, and magnified them about ten times before bringing it in.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going.”

Bai Qi was ready to leave when Nicholas suddenly remembered something and said, “Wait.”

With that, Nicholas returned to the valley and rummaged around for a bit, then he brought out a piece of emerald green dragon scale.

“You seem to be in great need of vitality. This is a piece of dragon scale left by my mother. Although the effect might have lessened a bit due to age, it should still aid you.”

Green Dragon Scale?

Bai Qi looked surprised, he was just about to reach out and accept it when he paused, saying with hesitation, “I don’t think this is appropriate. After all, it’s part of your mother’s remains. This seems a bit disrespectful.”

Nicholas waved him off, “It’s fine. Us Green Dragons don’t really care about that. It will just slowly return to nature if left here, it’s better to help you out.”

Nicholas paused for a moment before adding, “After all, you’re the only friend I have, Nichols. I don’t want anything to happen to you, or else I’ll die of boredom.”

After hearing Nicholas’ words, Bai Qi was filled with guilt.

His intention of helping Nicholas was primarily to turn him into a disposable dragon. However, it seemed like Nicholas had genuinely considered him a friend.

Alright, from now on I’ll pay more attention and find some interesting things for him.
