Hearing what the two of them said, Baldy's expression changed. Finally, he put away his arrogant expression and stared at the guide in his hand. "Are all of these things fake?" he asked.
"It's not fake. Everything in here is real. It's just that it's not worth the money," the taller student explained.
"Yeah, you can ask any senior student in the academy and they'll tell you everything for free. At most, you'll just have to buy them a drink. As long as you pay a little attention, you'll be able to find out everything by yourself. In fact, that's how the scammers in the Faculty of Business collected this book and sold it to those who don't know anything about it," the shorter student added.
The baldy couldn't help but frown. He knew that he had been cheated. The actual price of this thing was 1 gold coin at most.
The two Southerners were sensible enough not to ask how much the book cost. Otherwise, they would have laughed for a year if they had known that the book cost 30 gold coins. However, judging from the look on Baldy's face, he must have spent quite a lot. Those scammers were all cruel and merciless people. None of them were good people!
"Doesn't the academy care about this?" Baldy asked angrily.
"Well … How should I put it? After all, this book was organized by someone else. It's their hard work, isn't it? There's no forced buying or selling, and the academy is not in a position to interfere, "the shorter student said.
"Don't you Northerners know that you have to be careful of those scammers?" The taller student tried to stifle his laughter as he said tactfully, "Everyone in the Faculty of Business, from the Dean to the teachers to the students, is a bunch of swindlers! They're all swindlers!"
Although his words were a little harsh, it was not far from the truth. After all, the Dean of the Faculty of Business was a businessman, the Vice Dean was a charlatan, and the Head Professor was an artist who was good at exploiting loopholes. It was not hard to imagine what would happen to the talented students who were picked out by them. If it were not for Baiyi's supervision, they would have become a gang of swindlers.
Baldy gritted his teeth. Money was not a problem for him. He was born into a wealthy family, so 30 gold coins was just pocket money to him. However, he could not stand the fact that he was being toyed with. "I don't accept this! I've bled for the academy! I want to see the Dean! "
"Save it. It's useless." The big student continued in a sly tone, "It doesn't matter who you find. Do you want to argue with that drug dealer? Even ten of you wouldn't be a match for them. "
"Speaking of which, how do I choose equipment that suits me? How to filter out the information you need is something we've been taught repeatedly in class. Preparing for a trial like this is part of the trial. You can only hold it in even if you don't like it, "the short man added fuel to the fire.
"You even teach this?" Baldy looked puzzled. The Northern students had a special identity. Even though they were technically part of the Academy of Warriors, they were only taught elemental combat chi by Hem Hem, the Warrior. Therefore, they had no idea what was taught in the Academy of Warriors.
"Of course, you have to know that after we leave the academy, we'll encounter even more complicated environments than this. You said that you're going somewhere for an adventure, so how are you going to choose your equipment? How do I get information from the mouth of an intelligence dealer? This was all knowledge! The academy just taught us these things in advance, "the big student explained patiently.
"This is what makes our university different from the rest. Aside from fighting techniques, we'll also teach you all kinds of societal experiences. Once we leave the academy, we'll be able to stand on our own two feet. We won't have to go through all kinds of lessons like the other students." The short guy patted the bald guy's shoulder comfortingly. "Well, look on the bright side. Those bastards from the business school are probably the worst people in the world. Once you learn to deal with these profiteers, no one will be able to deceive you in the future."
Baldy did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Actually, this kind of experience is useless to me. Still, thank you for your kindness. I'll attend your classes more often in the future."
Baldy might be bald and young, but he was the eldest son of a general of a great country in the North. That was why he was able to become the leader of the Northern students. Baldy was destined to inherit his father's legacy and lead the army, so this kind of experience was of little use to him.
However, he also understood that the reason why the university wanted to teach these things was not because of the experience itself, but because they wanted to nurture the students' ability to think and deal with problems. This was the true value of knowledge, and it was also the essence of the university.
"Alright, alright. Let's not think about those things anymore. Let's look at the missions. If we're lucky, we might be able to help each other out," the big student suggested. He then told the two of them about his three compulsory missions: Hand in ten tails of the Large-tailed Lizard, hand in a Hairy Ball Monster's cub, and hand in five Drake Eggs.
"Holy sh * t! You're a senior! These missions are so hard … "the short student exclaimed. He then flashed his iron plate: Draw a general map of a certain coordinate point; Pluck a herb called Gentian Grass; Collect ten scales of a Steel Beetle.
In this realm, the Large-tailed Lizard and Drake Eggs were extremely difficult to deal with, and the mission requirement was to fight them to the death. While the Hairy Ball Monster was harmless, it was a creature that lived together with other beasts. In order to obtain its cub, the students had to get close to the beasts' nests.
On the other hand, the short student's mission, which required him to draw a map and pluck the herbs, was not a difficult task. While the Steel Beetle was ferocious, it had hundreds of scales each and was a solitary creature, so it was entirely possible for a few people to deal with it and split the spoils.
Comparing the two, the former's mission was obviously more difficult. It was obvious that the two of them were not in the same year.
As for Baldy's quest, it was much easier. Two of the quests were exploratory quests that could avoid combat. The only slightly more troublesome quest was to capture three Soft-skinned Fish. Although these fish had a painful bite and were agile, they lacked intelligence and were very dumb. Using a cardboard cutout of a human as bait, they were easily tricked into the trap. They were even easier to trick than those mobile players.
"Wow! This mission of yours reminds me of my first year here. " The short student could not help but say enviously, "During my first year here, the most stressful part was survival. The rest of the missions were as easy as going on a field trip."
The big student, on the other hand, looked at Baldy in disbelief. "Ugh … You're a first year student?" He then looked at Baldy's shiny head, searching for the non-existent hairline.
Baldy felt a little awkward, and his heart was filled with dissatisfaction. A Northern martial artist like him had to train in the wilderness all year round, using nature's harsh environment to hone his skills. Yet, he was given a mission of this level. Wasn't it a little too much?
"I still want to complete these three missions. I want to complete six of them!" Baldy said in an imposing manner. He then took out three metal plates of different colors from his pouch. They were bronze, silver, and gold respectively, representing three different missions of different difficulty.
When he opened them up, he saw that the bronze mission required him to hand over a fresh Crag Dragon's heart.
The two Southerners looked at each other. They didn't seem to be interested in the remaining two quests. They grabbed Baldy's shoulders, shook their heads, and said, "I admire your heroism, but I advise you to be more realistic. Let's think about what we're going to eat tonight!"
"What do you mean?" Baldy asked, puzzled. "Are these missions impossible to complete?"
Both of them shook their heads in unison. "It's not impossible. It's just very, very troublesome. The Crag Dragon might not be that powerful, but take a closer look at the mission's requirements. It must be a fresh heart, which means that you have to find a Crag Dragon that hides underground before the end of the ten days, and hand over its heart before it loses its vitality.
"The Crag Dragon is known for its cunning and vigilance. If you don't know how to burrow, you can only wait for it to come out at midnight to hunt. Because of time constraints, you only have one chance to strike. In order to ensure success, you have to stay awake for a few nights to search for it and observe its movements."
The bald man was taken aback by Baiyi's words. Although the Northern men had been tested by nature for a long time, when it came to hunting techniques like this, they knew nothing about it. If they wanted to complete this mission, they would have to have a lot of stamina and patience. Moreover, they could easily affect the progress of the main mission.
At the same time, they had to consider the difficulties of surviving in the wild.
If the bronze mission was already so troublesome, what about the silver and gold missions? Baldy shook his head, tossing the thought of retreating to the back of his mind. He forced himself to say, "Has anyone in the history of the academy ever completed all six missions at once?"
"Well … there have been," the short guy said.
"Then what makes you think I can't complete them?" Baldy asked, unconvinced.
"Pong buddy, watch your mouth. Do you know how many people have completed all six missions?" The tall guy retorted.
Baldy shook his head.
The big guy raised a finger and said with a serious face, "Although there have been seniors who have completed the silver and gold missions, there has only been one person who has completed all six missions."
"That person is our beautiful, cute, sexy, and gentle Professor Attie!" The short guy added, his face filled with admiration and admiration. He then asked, "Do you know how powerful Professor Attie's sword is?"
