Chapter 94: Finding People
If I were to represent the Bakery Club in this activity, I would need to go to the location where the academy organized it to pick up so materials.
After all, I wasn’t an omniscient deity.
How could I possibly know which corner or alley the freshn needing help were hiding in?
So, the academy would compile all the information systematically.
This information included, but was not limited to, Curtain Wall entry and exit records, which were the most reliable and comprehensive data, showing which freshn had arrived early based on their “one-way ticket” admission notices.
Other information would reveal which freshn hadn’t registered, hadn’t received their student cards, phones, room cards, or awakened their talents; everything was clear at a glance.
As long as I found the person and confird their details, I could figure out which procedures they hadn’t completed.
So, the key issue was “finding people.”
As for how to find them, I’d probably have to go there tomorrow to find out.
According to Senior Tang Yihan’s explanation, it involved integrating the academy’s Earth Vein Energy for precise localization or sothing like that.
It sounded very high-tech.
Could the Earth Vein really do anything?
I had to admit, at that mont, I beca quite interested in Earth Vein Energy and even considered going to the library to check out so introductory books on it.
Why introductory books instead of professional texts or journals?
Because after being discouraged by Tan Han’s comnts about the ditation book I borrowed last ti, I gained a deeper understanding of myself.
My comprehension level was probably best suited for introductory materials.
So, I had no intention of studying Earth Vein Energy in depth or diving into specialized texts or journals.
I just wanted to read so basic introductory books to learn about things that were accessible to but still unknown.
After all, people naturally had a strong enthusiasm for the unknown, though it often stayed at a superficial level.
In the end, I took on this task for the Bakery Club.
Even Manager Xia Li ca by today to check on .
When she heard I was willing to help the club, she promptly took to pick up a Magic Power Source and a spellbook.
Her decisiveness surprised , even making wonder if I’d stepped into a trap.
But trap or not, the spell Manager Xia Li gave was a very practical defensive spell.
Combined with the solidified spell on my badge, I was now well-equipped for both offense and defense, practically combat-ready.
Plus, the Magic Power Source increased my mana limit a bit, making my magic usage much more comfortable.
After all, everything in the villa consud mana, and the phone drained it too.
When I arrived at the location for the club’s volunteer activity, I got a rough idea of the situation.
Finding people was still up to us.
However, the academy would temporarily grant us access to a special function in the Academy System, allowing us to retrieve freshn information and their locations.
It was clear that the seniors who ca here weren’t too happy.
The enthusiasm for the activity was low, and I was probably the only one taking it seriously.
After registering at the Bakery Club, I found out my quota was just one person.
That number was beyond my expectations.
It seed the number of freshn needing help was much smaller than I had thought.
But it made sense.
How many freshn could there be in one batch?
Besides, most of them hadn’t even arrived yet.
I also noticed that so clubs, arriving later, didn’t get assigned any mandatory quotas, aning they could just slack off.
At that mont, I regretted coming so early.
Leaving the place, I looked at the new temporary permissions granted to in the Academy System.
This was a special feature for activity location tracking.
Normally, we wouldn’t have access to sothing like this.
And the freshn probably had nothing on them, right?
No trackers, maybe no academy-issued phones, or even student cards tied to the Earth Vein.
How were they being located?
This technology was almost too terrifying.
I looked up at the Curtain Wall in the sky.
Satellite tracking?
Probably not.
As expected, the transcendent world shouldn’t be imagined with ordinary thinking.
"Huh? Junior, are you a freshman? A freshman joining this activity? You didn’t get scamd by so shady club, did you?"
At that mont, a voice ca from behind , tinged with surprise.
The voice sounded sowhat familiar.
"Hm? Oh! Senior Deng, hello," I turned around and quickly recognized her.
Wasn’t this Deng Xiaohan, the senior I t on the train when I arrived?
I only vaguely rembered her na because she introduced herself.
"Hm? Do you know ? Haha, am I already that famous among the freshn?"
Deng Xiaohan was montarily surprised but then laughed proudly, not caring at all that I was a complete stranger to her.
"Uh… sothing like that… haha…"
I gave an awkward laugh, nearly letting slip my own secret.
The fewer seniors who knew I was originally a guy, the better.
"So, Senior, are you here for this activity too?"
I asked tentatively.
I wasn’t sure how she recognized as a freshman, especially since I already had two Magic Power Sources in .
There shouldn’t be anything to give it away, right?
"Yeah, I lost at rock-paper-scissors, so I had to drag myself here. What about you? You’re a freshman, and they’re making you guide other freshn? That’s outrageous," Deng Xiaohan said indignantly.
With her overly familiar tone, anyone would think we were close friends.
"It’s fine. There are rewards, so it’s worth the trip. But Senior, you didn’t co just to chat, did you?"
"Haha, you’re making it sound so formal. You know , so it’s fate. Let’s formally introduce ourselves. I’m Deng Xiaohan. Just call Senior Deng. If you run into any trouble, co find . Let’s add each other as friends," Deng Xiaohan said, pulling out her phone with a smile.
Her swift actions caught off guard.
"Alright."
I went ahead and added her as a friend.
After all, more friends ant more opportunities, and for soone like with few connections, a friendly senior like her was the easiest to bond with.
"Great, we’re friends now. If you ever run into trouble, co to . But… hehe, uh…"
Deng Xiaohan spoke naturally after adding , but her tone shifted quickly, as if she was about to ask for a favor.
"Senior, if you have sothing to say, just tell …"
Seeing her hesitate, I knew she had sothing on her mind.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have approached just to make friends.
As expected, she probably wanted to take on her quota for this activity.
"Could you, uh, handle my quota for ? Don’t worry, it’s just one person. If you help, I’ll owe you one, and next ti I’ll treat you."
"Senior, I’d love to help, but please understand, I’m a freshman too. I’m not exactly familiar with all these procedures…"
I quickly interrupted her, playing the sympathy card first.
"I… I wouldn’t let you do it for nothing, of course," Deng Xiaohan hurriedly said, sensing that I might start pulling out so dramatic tactics next.
"Huh? Really? Our club leader promised a Magic Power Source for completing my quota, and she even gave it to in advance. I’m not asking for much from you, Senior, just a small gesture…"
I said with a surprised look, staring at Deng Xiaohan until she turned away, too embarrassed to et my gaze.
At that point, I figured I’d pushed enough.
Making work for free?
No way.
"Alright, alright! Fine, I’ll give you a Magic Power Source too," Senior Deng said reluctantly, as if she couldn’t bear to hear any more.
As she gave in, I let out a subtle smile.
I didn’t know the market price of a Magic Power Source, but free stuff was always nice.
I hadn’t planned to stop after completing just one quota anyway.
Guiding freshn as a freshman sounded pretty interesting to , especially if I ran into soone like Quan Xiuzhu that’d be even more fun.
