117 Someone Got There First

“A two-month-old Class 2 working student. I’m really curious. How did he cross the energy barrier so quickly at this stage?”

“Special characteristics, I guess. He’s an innate Awakener, or even an innate Awakener with two special characteristics.”

“Don’t drink too much. This white peach wine is rare. Leave some for me!”

“Let William get it for you.”

…

Fang Ping ate the roast beef. This was already the fifth plate, but for others, it was still too little.

The feeling of eating meat in big mouthfuls was indeed quite satisfying, but it was still a little greasy after eating too much.

When it came to recruitment, Fang Ping had thought about it before. When he came to this world, he still wanted explore and see what’s out there. He did not have many pursuits.

Rights and obligations are relative.

Since Lisa was able to offer such a high price, that definitely wouldn’t be given for nothing. He definitely needed to do something.

Forget it.

Eh, that’s right. How did she know that he was a Class 2?

Fang Ping had not told anyone either. He had kept it as a trump card, but he did not know how he had exposed it.

As they ate, Jeanne joined them.

“Fang Ping, do you know about the Oka Chamber of Commerce?”

Jeanne went straight to the point. Hearing her say this, Fang Ping knew what she was going to do.

“What’s wrong? Are you trying to recruit me?”

“Looks like someone beat me to it.”

“Uh, Lisa.”

“South Lake Chamber of Commerce, did you agree?”

“Not yet.”

“Why don’t you consider our Oka Chamber of Commerce? Although we’re basically only active in the Elf City now, our Chamber of Commerce’s prospects are very good. There are now two Master Architects. Many of the projects in the Elf City are undertaken by our Chamber of Commerce. Moreover, the demand for talent is even greater now.

“I feel that instead of going to the South Lake Chamber of Commerce to be unknown, it’s better to come to our Oka Chamber of Commerce and gain more resources and attention.”

“Thank you. I haven’t thought about it yet.”

“You don’t have to refuse so quickly. You can think about it. I’ll contact the Chief tomorrow. You have to believe that we’re very sincere.”

Fang Ping could only smile and nod in agreement.

“By the way, Jeanne, how did you find me?”

“How did I find you? With such an obvious reaction, the surrounding energy was swept away and flowed towards you. How can you still be Class 1?”

Fang Ping recalled Qing Niao’s expression just now. It was a little different. He should have sensed it too.

“Fang Ping, do you have any methods or techniques? You advanced to Class 2 so quickly. Does this mean that your skills were upgraded to Excellent-grade ten days ago?

“No wonder your strength and health are so low. You spent all your time reading books and studying skills, right?”

“Uh, well, I guess so. My characteristics are also rather special.”

“Yeah, it’s much better than my Heavy Armor characteristic.”

As they spoke, Qing Niao and Andre walked over.

“Andre, you seem to be recovering well.”

“Yeah, what are you guys talking about?”

“It’s fine, just a casual chat.” Jeanne looked at Fang Ping. “You can reconsider. We’re very sincere in our offer.”

Then, she nodded at Andre and Qing Niao and turned to leave.

“What’s wrong? What are you talking about? Why are you so mysterious?”

“Nothing.”

Andre smiled wickedly and put his arm around Fang Ping’s shoulder. “Did she confess to you? Don’t be shy. Be bold. Look at Jeanne. She has a great figure. If it were me!”

“If it were you?” Fang Ping pushed his hand away. “You should deal with your Red Camellia Snake first.”

“That’s different. She’s not my type. My woman needs to be able to fight.”

As Andre spoke, he waved his fist. “Those soft and weak girls are boring.”

“Andre…” Qing Niao tugged at Andre’s shirt.

“What’s wrong? If you have anything, just say it!”

A female voice sounded from behind. “Then let’s fight again and see?”

Before he saw the person, he saw the snake first.

A huge red and white snake slithered over and stood up.

Fang Ping tried to fork out a piece of beef, but it had no intention of eating it.

Andre smiled awkwardly and turned, Red Camellia Snake was at his back. “No, I didn’t mean you.”

“Didn’t you say that I’m weak? Why don’t we fight again?”

Andre hurriedly waved his hand. “No need, no need. Yes, yes, I’m weak.”

Fang Ping looked at the two of them doubtfully. Why did Andre’s reaction not fit his character?

Did something happen between them?

Although he did not know what had happened, Fang Ping did not mind teasing.

“Andre, don’t be shy. Look at how good Red Camellia Snake is. Her figure is also top-notch.”

“Then go ahead. No, no, that’s not what I meant. I think strength is more important now. You guys eat. I’ll train and run a little!”

As Andre spoke, he turned around and ran.

“Don’t run, let’s have a chat.” Red Camellia Snake also chased after him.

The big red and white snake looked at the Red Camellia Snake. It suddenly stuck its head out and ate the meat on Fang Ping’s fork in one bite before slithering away.

Only Fang Ping and Qing Niao remained where they were.

“Fang Ping, are you already a Class ?”

“Mm.”

“I knew it. I felt that your condition was a little different just now. You’re really amazing. You’ve reached Class 2 so quickly. My energy level is only more than 300 points now. I reckon it’ll be a few months before I reach Class 2.”

“Yes, my characteristics are rather special.” That was all Fang Ping could say now.

He had wanted to use it as a trump card, but who knew that it would be exposed after a simple cultivation?

“Did you take on a new job before school started? This is too fast. I feel that those advanced students can’t compare to you.

“By the way, Fang Ping, what skills have you upgraded? Do you have any insights?”

“Forbidden Life Spell. Perhaps it’s because my attack power is relatively low and I use this skill more often, so it feels most familiar.”

“I’ve used a lot of Forbidden Life Spells, but my energy limit is still a lot lower. I’ll upgrade my skills when I have enough energy.”

“Mm.”

As Fang Ping chatted with Qing Niao, the roast beef on the table visibly decreased. More than half of the fifty people had been eaten.

It was getting late, and the crowd was slowly dispersing. It was late at night.

Fang Ping lay in his sleeping bag, accumulating energy.

The courtyard was not cold. There were some small snowflakes, but there was no wind, so in comparison, it was even warmer than the Elf City.

They were clearly on a high mountain, and there was cold wind and snow at the foot of the mountain. This place looked like a paradise.

Fire Dragon City did not feel like ice and snow.

There was no need to worry about safety. There was no need to take shifts to keep watch. There was no need to wear the Elemental Suit to ward off the cold. This was a rare night of good sleep.

However, he still couldn’t sleep in.

They were woken up in the morning again. The people in the courtyard woke up early to train.

Exercising with weights, practicing techniques, and fighting each other were the same scenes every morning.

There was a space in the courtyard for washing up. Breakfast was already prepared. It was porridge with meat and green vegetables inside. It smelled good.

This reminded Fang Ping of the porridge shop in Canaan. He thought of the tasteless yellow powder porridge he had eaten for a week and that old man. He wondered how he was doing now.
