"Miss Shen?"
"Lin Xiao!"
The two of them spoke at the same time, and then laughed out loud.
Shen Yuexin gently twirled her hair around her ear and said:
"Lin Xiao, just call me Yue Xin. Are you here to report?"
"Yeah, Yue Xin too?"
"Then why did you come here alone? Didn't anyone pick you up?"
"Someone picked me up, but left after sending me to the school gate."
"I mean inside the school. Didn't the security guard send you here?"
"No."
.....
After a few seconds of silence, Shen Yuexin said:
"Then come with me. I'll take you there."
"I'm not familiar with this place."
He twisted the handle of the small motorcycle, but the magic carpet didn't move. He looked up in confusion and saw her suddenly covering her mouth. Her big eyes slightly curved, and she suddenly chuckled, pointed at his motorcycle and said:
"You should change to another one. This is the car of the second-year teacher Li's granddaughter."
"I … …"
Lin Xiao almost cursed. He knew something was wrong. How could such a small motorcycle be ridden by a student? The security guard must be jealous and deliberately pranked him.
He silently got off the motorcycle and carefully parked it by the side of the road. He looked around and spread his hands to Shen Yuexin:
"You go first. I'll walk there. I won't lose my way with the map anyway."
Shen Yuexin nodded:
"Okay then, see you later."
If he didn't ask for a ride, she naturally wouldn't take the initiative to talk to him. They just met once and weren't familiar with each other.
Fortunately, there was enough time and he didn't have to rush. He could just treat it as training.
This valley between the two peaks was only 30 to 40 meters wide. There was a row of unknown trees on both sides. Behind the trees was a row of gravel walkways. There was a row of stone chairs not far away. Behind the chairs was a row of ornamental shrubs. Further back, there was a well-maintained green lawn that extended along the slope to the top of the mountain.
The path was very quiet. There was only the rustling of the leaves in the wind, the occasional bird chirping, or the occasional whistling … …
He turned around and saw a silver, missile-like aircraft whizzing in from the direction he came from. It quickly flew over his head, bringing with it a strong gust of wind and a whistling sound.
"Sure enough, those who can study in the Provincial One Middle School are all rich."
Although Lin Xiao came from a good background, that was only in the eyes of an ordinary commoner. Compared to the descendants of a True God family, he was quite ordinary. He didn't have a product that combined magic with the technology of the main world.
It wasn't that they couldn't afford it, but they couldn't afford something so high-end.
"Let's go!"
Two hours later, they finally passed through the seven to eight kilometer long canyon. From afar, they saw a circular arch that was twenty to thirty meters high at the end of the canyon. Two thick, crooked trees leaned against the arch like guards.
Approaching the arched door, Lin Xiao discovered that the crooked trees were actually two sleeping tree demons. Their luxuriant branches and thick roots extended far and wide, almost covering the entire area near the door.
The two tree demons were sleeping at the moment, but once enemies came, they would immediately pull out their roots and branches to fight.
On a horizontal branch above the arched door stood a crow that was as large as an eagle. Its entire body was shrouded in faint gray fog. When it saw Lin Xiao walk over, the crow spoke in human language with a sharp voice.
"Kid in front, do you have a pass?"
He didn't take out the temporary student card that the security guard gave him. After what happened before, he didn't trust that guy anymore. Instead, he took out the invitation to the summer camp for super freshmen. The crow flew over and circled him. Lin Xiao felt a faint energy fluctuation.
"You can go in."
The crow flew back to the branch where it landed and ignored him.
When he walked to the arched door, his sensitive facial muscles felt a faint film that would break at the touch. It was exactly the same as the energy barrier that his mother had set up in his house. Its function was to prevent energy from spreading. It had no defensive function.
Entering the arched door, he felt as if he had passed through another world. A fresh energy rushed to his face.
What surprised him the most was that this layer of light film had an illusion function. When he was outside the arched door, he only saw a few small buildings and a garden. When he came in, he saw a tall building and three small buildings. The tall building was on the left and the small building on the right. In the middle, there was a square that extended into the distance. More than a dozen young men and women were chatting in the square. When they saw Lin Xiao suddenly appear, they all looked at him at the same time.
"Another newcomer has come."
A handsome man in a gorgeous robe, with snow-white hair and two small horns on his forehead, had his hands behind his back and said to a companion beside him, "Let's go and see if there's anything we can do.
"Tang Ling, go and ask the newcomer where he came from."
The one called Tang Ling was also a very handsome young man. In fact, these men and women were all handsome. As the descendants of the True God, none of them were ugly. Even though Lin Xiao couldn't compare with them, he could still be called a handsome guy.
However, Tang Ling was clearly not interested. He waved his hand disapprovingly.
He waved his hand dismissively and said, "We already know who has qualified for the summer camp in the prefectural city. This kid is obviously not on the same side as us. There's no need to ask."
"That's true!"
Gu Cheng didn't insist. He stretched out his hand and stroked his snow-white hair.
He changed the topic and said, "I heard that the summer camp this time is different from the past. It's more dangerous than before. Does anyone know the details?"
No one answered for a long time. When he looked up, he saw his companions shaking their heads, shrugging their shoulders, or looking elsewhere. Clearly, they didn't know.
Just as he was about to ask something else, a youth with blue hair and eyes spoke up.
"I don't know the details. I only know that according to the rotation system, the host of this summer camp is from the military. According to the military's style, the difficulty will definitely be higher than before. Moreover, they place more emphasis on actual combat. There's a high chance that there will be deaths."
Gu Cheng pursed his lips and said,
"That might be troublesome."
"What's there to be afraid of? Even if it's dangerous, it will be within the range of what we can handle. They won't give us a mission that's beyond our capabilities."
"That's hard to say."
A yellow-haired boy said, "That's right.
"In the past few sessions hosted by the military, it's not like there haven't been missions that exceeded our capabilities. Which session didn't have accidents?"
Everyone was silent for a long time.
Someone said, "Looks like I have no choice but to use my two backup barricades."
"Be careful. I have to use the backup barricade I left behind. It just so happens that my dad gave me an orange weapon card a few days ago. I can equip my clan with it."
"I'm still short of a batch of equipment. Who has a better shield with more than two thousand shields? I'll exchange it with cards of the same level."
"I have a batch of fine steel round shields. I don't know if they're to your liking."
"Sure. What kind of card do you want?"
"By the way, Lin Xu, didn't you say you wanted an Ecology Card last time? I have a small forest Ecology Card here. It includes eight tree species, hundreds of plants, and hundreds of insects. Do you want it?"
"Yes. What card do you want?
Lin Xu came back to his senses and responded to his companions. At the same time, he secretly sent a message to Lin Xiao.
The seven of them gathered together and quickly turned into a small exchange meeting. Not far away, another group of students didn't join. Instead, they formed a small circle and communicated internally. It was clear that these were two different circles.
Lin Xiao lowered his head and looked at the message from his little uncle, asking him to wait.
He replied with an 'Okay' and found a chair to sit down.
After a while, Lin Xu walked over and sat down beside him.
"I'll take you to the teacher leading the team later. But before that, you'd better think about which circle to join."
"What circle?"
"All the students in the entire Yunmeng Province who have received an invitation to the super freshman summer camp will gather at One Middle School. They are divided into the circle of the provincial government and the circle of those outside the provincial government. You're an outsider, so you're default to the circle outside the provincial government. But if you're willing, I'll introduce you to my circle."
"You're from the provincial government?"
"Yes."
"What's the use of joining? Do I have to join? "
"It's up to you whether to join or not. But if you don't join either side, you'll be rejected by both sides. If you join one side, not only will you not be rejected, but you can also exchange basically any card except the Divinity Card internally. Moreover, the teacher leading the team is from One Middle School."
It was still worth considering if it could save him some trouble. Lin Xiao nodded and said,
"I can join, but I don't want to be casually called a lackey."
"I can't guarantee that, but you can show your strength or potential. If you meet any standard, you won't be bullied."
"How do I show it?"
"Simulate a fight with the projection!"
It was so damn direct, but it was fair. He liked it.
"Okay."
In terms of overall strength, he might not be as good as these elites who came from far better backgrounds than him for the time being. But if it was just a simulated fight with the projection, he wouldn't be afraid.
This so-called simulated projection was like the first stage of the final exam, where a portion of the God's Domain's Clan Tribe was projected into a virtual plane to fight. No matter how big the loss was, it wouldn't hurt the God's Domain in the slightest. It was the most common way for students to test their strength, and it was also the most suitable way to challenge.
Lin Xiao didn't reject joining any circle. On the contrary, it was inevitable. There were circles everywhere. Wherever there were people, there would be circles. It wouldn't be good if he couldn't fit into the circle and was rejected.
He also didn't think that he had to join the circle outside the provincial government just because he came from outside the provincial government. Of course, he would join whichever side was easier to mingle with. In any case, he had an uncle who was familiar with this side.
After his grandfather's birthday banquet, he exchanged contact information with Lin Xu and even chatted with him.
This seemingly arrogant uncle wasn't as difficult to get along with as he had imagined. He was arrogant because his peers in the Lin family weren't successful. In his words, they were all idiots. Naturally, he didn't bother to communicate with them.
For example, Lin Xiao had also received an invitation to the super freshman summer camp. He had already gained his uncle's recognition, so his attitude was naturally different.
After Lin Xu returned to communicate with his companions for a while, the seven of them came in front of Lin Xiao. In the middle was the white-haired Gu Cheng. He sized up Lin Xiao and said,
"Are you Lin Xu's nephew? It's not bad to be able to make a name for yourself in a small place like Eastcalm City. On account of Lin Xu, I'll give you a chance. You can choose any one of us to fight in a simulation. As long as you can last an hour, you'll pass. "
Lin Xiao didn't stand on ceremony. He cupped his hands at the yellow-haired kid.
"Please enlighten me!"
The yellow-haired kid chuckled.
"You're welcome. My name is Shang Xiaoxue. Follow me."
With that said, he turned around and walked towards the tall building on the left. Lin Xiao bit his lip and almost couldn't help but laugh.
"Primary School …"
This name was too unique.
