Bab 25: Chapter 25: Undercurrents
During this holiday, Zhang Chenran accepted more than a dozen commissions outside the city.
The funds and hunter points he received were many times more than what he had accumulated in the city before.
Fighting and training went hand in hand. In the last few days of the holiday, the shadow system also successfully broke through the third level of the initial stage.
The space system is still at the second level of the initial stage, without much change.
Return to boring campus life.
Life in school is still the same as before.
However, after this experience, the classmates around him have changed in both their mentality and temperament.
Even those lazy and sloppy students have become extra hardworking, and they often appear on the training ground even during rest time.
Only those who have really seen the monsters can recognize where the gap is.
Even those who have mastered magic are still so unbearable when facing monsters.
Perhaps because of the experience, Zhang Chenran feels that his reputation in the class has risen by several levels.
Even Mu Bai and Xu Zhaoting, who were the most popular in the past, did not have a strong sense of presence like he does now.
This made him a little uncomfortable.
"Brother Chen, you haven't been late for several weeks this semester!" Zhang Xiaohou was surprised.
"What? What are you talking about?" Zhang Chenran glared at him and explained:
"There are not many commissions suitable for me in the city now, and I will focus most of my energy on cultivation."
Since he was promoted to an intermediate hunter, Zhang Chenran no longer wanted to care about those trivial commissions and spent most of his time on cultivation.
However, he would still accept the commissions that seemed to be haunted by demons in the city .
"By the way, Brother Chen, do you go out to hunt demons alone?" Zhang Xiaohou asked curiously.
Hearing this, Zhang Chenran shook his head:
"The combat power of demons is far beyond that of mages. Under normal circumstances, I will temporarily join a hunter team to go out of the city to hunt demons!"
This was a lie to Zhang Xiaohou. With his strength, he didn't need teammates at all, but he couldn't tell Zhang Xiaohou that he was a strong shadow system.
"Is that so? Brother Chen, if you encounter demons that are stronger and more numerous than the team, what will you choose to do?"
Zhang Xiaohou, who was very curious about Anjiewai, continued to ask.
Zhang Chenran said without any thought:
"Run, don't worry about anything else, just run!"
"Don't worry about anything else, including teammates?"
"Yes, run as many as you can."
Zhang Xiaohou seemed a little shocked:
"But, can't a hunter mage abandon his teammates?"
"The premise of this rule is that you have the ability to save your teammates. If you can't even save your own life and still protect others, it's no different from seeking death."
Zhang Chenran said earnestly:
"Monkey, no matter what you do, you must be based on the premise that you have enough ability, like the situation you mentioned before.
If I have enough strength, I will kill all the monsters for my teammates and protect the safety of my teammates.
But if I am just a beginner mage who can be killed by monsters at will, I will definitely be the first to run away.
If you have the ability, change it. If you don't have the ability, then think about how to save yourself first!"
This is also the reason why I don't want to find teammates. Zhang Chenran added silently in his heart.
Zhang Xiaohou remained silent. He didn't seem to expect Zhang Chenran to say such a thing.
But what he said was not wrong
...
At night.
Zhang Chenran, wearing a black hooded windbreaker, shuttles through the darkness of the city every day.
This time the commission address is in the sewer near Mingwen Girls' Middle School.
The commission only states that there are suspected giant-eyed fishy rats, but there are several giant-eyed fishy rats!
This is completely beyond expectations.
However, in Zhang Chenran's view, the giant-eyed fishy rats are much stronger than the one-eyed demon wolf.
Even if there are more giant-eyed fishy rats, he can kill them at will.
However, seeing the manic and bloody eyes of the giant-eyed fishy rats, Zhang Chenran changed his mind.
In the past, the giant-eyed fishy rats did not fight at all, and even ran away when they saw human mages.
The giant-eyed fishy rats in front of him were unexpectedly strong.
Although their strength is far less than that of the one-eyed demon wolf, they are not something that one or two ordinary mages can deal with.
Fortunately, there is no light in the sewer.
"Have these beasts been collectively strengthened?" Zhang Chenran looked ugly after solving the giant-eyed fishy rats.
The light emitted from the big eyes of those manic giant-eyed rats is extremely difficult to deal with. If I hadn't reacted quickly enough, I don't know how many times I would have been caught out of the darkness by these lights.
Zhang Chenran had just taken a picture of the receipt for completing the commission when footsteps were heard from the other side of the sewer.
Zhang Chenran didn't care much at first, after all, he was not the only one who had been active in the sewer recently.
"My friend, can I ask you something?" The other party also noticed him and asked.
In the darkness, Zhang Chenran's vision was unrestricted. There were three men and one woman on the other side.
He saw the work uniforms of the Magic Association on the two in front, and the two behind were in plain clothes. Zhang Chenran
, a member of the Magic Association,
didn't think much about it and was about to speak to cooperate with these association members.
But as the four people gradually approached, he was stunned.
Through the darkness, he saw a familiar face.
It was a very standard melon-seed face, willow-leaf eyebrows, and foxy eyes!
Teacher Tang Yue!
How could she be here, and with the people from the Magic Association!
Does Teacher Tang Yue have any special identity besides the intermediate magician?
All kinds of doubts emerged in his mind, but now he had no time to think and guess.
Can't let her see me. Zhang Chenran didn't think twice and immediately used the Shadow Escape to shuttle away.
"My friend," the magician from the Magic Association hadn't finished speaking when the figure in the dark disappeared.
"Shadow system?" Tang Yue was the first to react. She also practiced the Shadow system and was most familiar with Shadow Escape.
The giant-eyed fishy rat lying on the ground had just died not long ago. If it wasn't a mid-level magician, a beginner Shadow system magician would never be able to do it.
But there are only a handful of mid-level magicians who practice Shadow system in Bo City.
If this person is not an official magician,
Tang Yue didn't think much and said to her companions, "You continue to investigate."
After that, her figure also disappeared into the darkness and followed the dark breath.
...
A bustling and noisy city.
Two unusual black shadows shuttled quickly under the shadows of high-rise buildings.
Chasing. Zhang Chenran felt the same dark breath behind him.
Fortunately, Teacher Tang Yue's shuttle speed in the dark was not as fast as his.
But this is not a solution. If Teacher Tang Yue keeps chasing, he can't get rid of it.
After pondering for a while, Zhang Chenran's figure slowly emerged from the darkness
. Tang Yue stopped and observed the surroundings without feeling the dark breath:
"The breath just now stopped here, he should be nearby."
After observing from a high altitude for a while, she found a back figure that was somewhat similar to that figure.
Miaoman's figure jumped from a tall building and made a leap for life.
A few seconds later, Tang Yue walked out of the dark alley and walked on the street full of lights.
When she walked in front of the figure and intercepted it, she was stunned for a moment.
Zhang Chenran hugged a pile of daily necessities that he had just bought from the shopping store with his hands, with a puzzled look on his face:
"Teacher Tang Yue?"
He looked back and confirmed that the beautiful teacher was indeed looking at him, and continued to ask:
"Do you have something to do with me?"
Tang Yue frowned slightly and stretched out her hand to put on his shoulder.
Zhang Chenran was stunned at first, and then looked at her quietly without moving.
After a long while, Tang Yue took her hand back and asked with a smile:
"Student Zhang Chenran, did you see any strange people just now?"
"Strange people?" Zhang Chenran secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, pretending to be confused and answered:
"I was just walking around the shopping store, and there were no strange people inside."
As he said that, he gestured and glanced at the pile of daily necessities in his hands.
"Teacher Tang Yue, are you looking for someone? Do you need my help?" Zhang Chenran asked.
Looking at his confused and puzzled eyes, Tang Yue shook her head and explained:
"I am indeed looking for someone, but the person should have left."
Zhang Chenran nodded as if he understood:
"Then teacher, if there is nothing else, I will leave first."
Tang Yue looked at his leaving back and frowned slightly.
