Chapter 1629: Chapter 1630: Preparation
During class the next day, Qi Chen noticed Feng Yuan looking exhausted and was a bit puzzled. He could naturally tell whether Feng Yuan was genuinely sleep-deprived or just wanted to find a place to nap. But it seed like nothing unusual happened last night, so what was up with him?
Even by lunchti, Feng Yuan still hadn’t woken up from resting on the desk. Seeing this, Qi Chen walked over with so concern, gently tapped his shoulder, and asked cautiously,
“Feng Yuan, what’s wrong?”
“He went to Great Li last night and probably hasn’t recovered yet. Help him get so lunch.”
Agunas glanced at the still-sleeping Feng Yuan and said, wagging its tail. Although it was a bit skeptical about whether that guy was really that tired, after sending Luo Tianxing back to Great Li last night, he did indeed do a lot. Besides adjusting the set ti point to ensure Luo Tianxing could directly enter with permission, he also handled several issues that could easily cause chaos later on.
Hearing Agunas’s words, Qi Chen didn’t say much, sighed as he looked at the still-sleeping Feng Yuan, then turned and headed to the cafeteria with Dou Yanlan. After a long while, Feng Yuan drowsily opened his eyes and said,
“Hmm? Who’s calling ?”
Clutching his head, Feng Yuan struggled to sit up and only after a while beca clear-headed. Seeing that the classroom was empty, Feng Yuan instinctively took out his phone, glanced at the ti, and said,
“It’s almost ti for class…”
“Aren’t you hungry?”
Seeing that Feng Yuan actually wanted to go back to sleep again, Agunas said speechlessly. This guy, was he really planning to sleep till he was fully rested? Xiao Ji leaned over, nudged Feng Yuan with its head while chirping softly. Feng Yuan petted Xiao Ji’s head, yawned, and said,
“Now that you ntion it, I am a bit hungry… wonder if the cafeteria still has food.”
Struggling to get up, maybe due to sleeping too long, Feng Yuan was a bit unsteady on his feet. Veronia, having transford into human form, supported him and asked confusedly,
“What’s really going on with you? Even pulling an all-nighter shouldn’t result in this.”
“Adjusting world barriers is kinda tricky, and I also had to simultaneously clear the surrounding Abyss energy, huh~ so sleepy.”
Yawning, Feng Yuan said tiredly. Agunas thought of sothing and said speechlessly,
“Don’t tell you cramd all the work into one day?”
“It’s easier that way, at least I just need to overco laziness once to handle a lot of stuff. How great~”
“Don’t you feel tired…”
Wagging its tail, Agunas didn’t even want to scold him. The work that guy had piled up wasn’t ordinary; it involved significant changes to the world. Every single item would be troubleso even for it to handle. Yet considering Feng Yuan’s capabilities, it’s not like it couldn’t be done, just…
Glancing at the drowsy Feng Yuan, Agunas snorted coldly and stopped caring about him. Just as Feng Yuan was about to walk out of the classroom, Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan ca in with lunch. Seeing Feng Yuan, Qi Chen remarked in surprise,
“You finally woke up? Here, this is your lunch.”
“Thanks~ Are the afternoon classes here too?”
Taking the lunchbox, Feng Yuan recalled sothing and couldn’t help but ask. Nodding, Qi Chen said,
“You’d better eat fast; eating during class isn’t exactly the best…”
“Hehe~ I get it~”
“By the way, Teacher Lu notified us there’s an impromptu team task tonight. Are you going?”
Suddenly, Qi Chen thought of sothing and ntioned it to Feng Yuan. Although Teacher Lu had specifically reminded everyone in the group three tis, he couldn’t be sure Feng Yuan had really seen the ssage, considering how he seed perpetually half-asleep that morning.
Blinking, Feng Yuan looked at the two questioningly and asked,
“Impromptu team task? What’s that?”
“Seems like there’s an ergency mission issued by the officials, needing help from the entire school.”
“Ergency mission? The whole school?”
Stunned for a mont, Feng Yuan found it odd. What kind of ergency mission was this? Could it be that sothing happened again with the Special Duty Team? Unable to figure it out, Feng Yuan decided to call and find out later, and it wasn’t until just before class that he managed to finish lunch and learn from Liao Yu what was going on.
They called it an ergency mission, but in reality, it wasn’t taken too seriously; otherwise, it wouldn’t be directly handed over to the academy by the authorities. The Special Duty Team had nothing to worry about, and they wouldn’t handle this. As for the reason…
The so-called ergency mission was to assist the wild Spirit Beasts in safely passing through Maomu City. After all, as the energy circulation gradually recovered, the wild Spirit Beasts that were forced to leave their hos also started to return to their forr habitats. However, Feng Yuan did not expect them to pass directly through Maomu City; previously, during migration, they avoided cities entirely.
“That’s strange. They didn’t pass through the city like this before, did they? Why now…”
Yawning, Feng Yuan wondered aloud. Agunas, wagging its tail, thought of sothing and said,
“Could it be a routing issue? They didn’t necessarily leave in a straight line, but returning is different. After all, they left their hos back then for survival, wouldn’t likely have had a fixed destination.”
“To avoid having their original territory occupied, they changed routes to ensure returning as fast as possible. It’s basic instinct, or else do you think they’d suddenly decide on a night action?”
Glancing at Agunas, Veronia said irritably, her tail suddenly froze mid-wag, and Agunas looked incredulously at Veronia, saying,
“They… wouldn’t do that…”
“Why wouldn’t they? If you don’t believe it, you can ask them yourself tonight. Their world isn’t exactly peaceful.”
Looking at Kong Qing, Veronia said bluntly. Rembering Kong Qing’s situation, Agunas fell silent. What Veronia said was likely true. For Feng Yuan, he wasn’t at all surprised, after all, while living wild was free, resources were limited. Competing for resources ant wild Spirit Beasts had to often engage in fights.
Although it’s not to the point of fatality, it’s not without incidents. Not to ntion that after losing, one might not obtain enough resources, forcing them to live frugally. No matter how restrained the fight, there’s always a chance of getting hurt, and they have to find ways to treat themselves, unlike Spirit Beasts kept by humans who receive tily treatnt.
This is also why Divine Beasts have never hindered humans from developing professions related to Beastmasters and Spirit Beasts. Following humans is not necessarily a bad thing for them.
Yawning, Feng Yuan asked Qi Chen to inform Teacher Lu that he would participate too, before returning to his seat to continue resting. However, as soon as he was dozing off, he sohow felt like Xiao Ji was calling him.
Rubbing his eyes, Feng Yuan yawned and stretched, noticing the whole class staring at him. He smiled awkwardly, slapped Xiao Ji’s back, and said displeasedly,
“We’re having class; why are you calling ?”
He didn’t believe it was the teacher wanting to wake him up, as the teachers all knew about his condition. As long as he didn’t interrupt the class, they wouldn’t interfere. Glaring at Feng Yuan, Xiao Ji chirped discontentedly. Veronia, though, knew what Xiao Ji wanted, and she voiced out,
“The class is discussing Beast Taming Gear right now, and it wants you to get a set for it.”
“Just for that? What the…”
Running a hand through Xiao Ji’s feathers, Feng Yuan said speechlessly. He thought sothing serious had happened, but Xiao Ji woke him just for this? Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Xiao Ji chirped in protest, so Feng Yuan pinched Xiao Ji’s beak and whispered to it while glancing at the others,
“Don’t make a fuss; others are in class. Seriously, never mind. So, Beast Taming Gear? Let see…”
Although Feng Yuan knew how to make them, he obviously didn’t want to create those things for Xiao Ji anyti soon. For one, the materials required were plenty, and for another, such gear was rely external support, which didn’t an much for Xiao Ji. If it were top-tier Divine Beast Level gear, it could be used indefinitely, but could Xiao Ji handle such imnse power?
If it were like Ordinary Spirit Beast gear, given Xiao Ji’s changes in power, the current gear might beco nearly obsolete upon evolution. So even though Feng Yuan knew of these things, he never prepared them for Xiao Ji.
But now that Xiao Ji wanted that, Feng Yuan could only listen to see what type of gear the teacher was teaching about and would just make a few to pacify Xiao Ji when needed.
