120: Helpful

"Xiao Weiqing, Qin Tian, you two are going to enter the Civilization Relic No. 1, right?"

The two nodded. Obviously, if they didn't go in, they would be doing themselves a disservice.

Especially Xiao Weiqing. He was currently in massive debt, and his Cultivate resource consumption was increasing daily. He had to go into this Civilization Ruins no matter what, ideally to make a fortune.

"I'm giving you a task. After you go in, if you meet Huang Yitong, help her summon her contracted Spirit Beast."

Xiao Weiqing was confused, "Dean Zhong, can't she summon it at the Luo Jiang Academy?"

Zhong Wen said, "Huang Yitong's contracted beast is quite special. They have already established a contract, but her contracted Spirit Beast cannot descend to Blue Star; she needs to go into the Civilization Ruins for that."

Xiao Weiqing looked strange, "Is your contracted beast a scammer?"

As soon as these words were spoken.

Huang Yitong immediately retorted, "Little Tiger would not lie to me."

Zhong Wen laughed, "Once a Spirit Beast forms a contract, it shares honor and disgrace with the contractor. It would not do such a thing. Do not underestimate the Spirit Beast race."

Xiao Weiqing said, "Fine, I was just saying."

"Rest assured, I won't make you work for free. Huang Yitong's elders have some friendship with me. If you help Huang Yitong successfully summon her contracted Spirit Beast, I can give you a substantial amount of points."

Xiao Weiqing's eyes suddenly lit up, "How much?"

"Let me clarify first, I don't care too much about points; what's important is being able to help a classmate."

"You can ask around; in high school, I won the Outstanding Student award every year."

"..."

Even the Zhong Wen twitched the corner of his mouth. Your expression just now wasn't like that.

Huang Yitong said, "Help me successfully summon the Spirit Beast, and I will give you 5,000 points."

"Fine, you follow me when the time comes."

Xiao Weiqing agreed immediately.

Zhong Wen shook his head, "That won't work. When you enter, you will be separated and won't be together."

"Tie us together with a rope?"

"If that doesn't work, I'll put her in a sack and carry her."

Huang Yitong: "..."

"Even holding hands won't work," Zhong Wen said.

"Then how do we do this?"

Zhong Wen suggested, "This requires some luck, but there are markers left by past geniuses of Great Xia inside. We have familiar strongholds, you can go there first."

"I'm afraid of encountering people from other countries when the time comes. Huang Yitong's combat power is currently limited."

"There are people from other countries too?"

Zhong Wen nodded, "Of course, all four countries have entrances to Civilization Relic No. 1."

Xiao Weiqing frowned, "Then if she gets caught, will she be killed?"

If that happened, he wouldn't have a chance to earn his 5,000 points.

Huang Yitong: "?"

Zhong Wen said, "It's unpredictable."

"So that means this can only be treated as a side quest."

Xiao Weiqing roughly understood. If he could complete it, he would; if he didn't encounter her, then there was no helping it. Encounters with people from other countries would inevitably lead to conflict.

"Dean Zhong, I can only say I will try my best. This matter is difficult to handle."

Qin Tian nodded. These 5,000 points were not easy to earn.

Huang Yitong became anxious. Although she didn't like listening to Xiao Weiqing, Xiao Weiqing was the strongest first year Trainee at Luo Jiang Academy and could rank in the top ten in Great Xia.

With his help, her probability of success would be much higher.

"Help me, I'll add more points!"

"Add points?"

"How much will you add?"

Xiao Weiqing's gaze was burning.

Huang Yitong held up three fingers, "3,000, no, 5,000."

"If I succeed, I will give you 10,000 points."

Xiao Weiqing laughed, "It's a deal. Even if the matter is difficult, it must be done. I'm just a person who loves to help others."

"How about this, when the time comes, you find a stronghold and wait, or spend some points to have others leave markers to indicate your direction, and I will come to find you then."

Huang Yitong watched Xiao Weiqing change his face and finally witnessed the side of Xiao Weiqing that was obsessed with points.

Seeing that Xiao Weiqing agreed, the Zhong Wen nodded slightly, "Alright, then you can discuss the specific details yourselves."

"Let's go, we can talk as we walk."

The three started walking towards the Ziwei Courtyard.

"By the way, Huang Yitong, you just said Little Tiger wouldn't lie to you. Is your contracted Spirit Beast a tiger?"

Huang Yitong nodded, "Yes, she is from the Blazing Winged Tiger race."

Xiao Weiqing frowned, "I have a question. You mentioned Little Tiger, since she has never descended, does that mean you haven't met?"

"How do you know she is from the Blazing Winged Tiger race?"

"After we formed the contract, we could barely communicate using our Divine Soul, and she told me."

"Internet dating?"

"..."

"Contract, it's a contract!!!"

"A contract established under the witness of the gods, do you even understand at all?" Huang Yitong roared.

Xiao Weiqing shook his head, "I don't understand. I'm not a Beast Tamer."

"Let's get this straight first. I will help you summon your Little Tiger, but I won't care about the rest. Don't summon something else; if that happens, both of our lives will be in danger."

Huang Yitong gritted her teeth and said, "I know. When that happens, I'll just die in front of you, and you don't need to care."

"Don't curse yourself like that. Of course, I hope I'm just overthinking it."

Hearing this, Huang Yitong felt a little better.

Then Xiao Weiqing added:

"However, just in case you really do get killed by your own contracted Spirit Beast and I don't get my points, shouldn't you pay a deposit first?"

"You... you..."

Huang Yitong looked at Xiao Weiqing in disbelief. How could he say such cold words?

The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. Her mouth pouted, mist filled her eyes, and she burst into tears.

"Wah... woo..."

Now Xiao Weiqing was stunned, "What are you crying for?"

"You're bullying me."

"When did I bully you? Qin Tian, you're still laughing, hurry up and comfort her."

Qin Tian coughed twice, "Yitong, don't mind him. Xiao Weiqing doesn't know these things, don't take it to heart."

"Hmph, you're all bad people."

Huang Yitong wiped away her tears and operated her Wristband, "I'll give you 3,000 first, is that okay?"

"Ahem, ahem, fine, thank you. Rest assured about your matter, I will definitely give it my all."

"Hmph!~"

Huang Yitong tossed her hair and walked forward.

Xiao Weiqing received the 3,000 points and was beaming with joy, "Qin Tian, what's Huang Yitong's background? She's so rich, a little rich girl."

At the current stage, there were not many people who could casually take out 3,000 points. Given Huang Yitong's strength, it was impossible for her to have earned them herself.

"You don't know?" Qin Tian asked curiously.

"Know what?"

Qin Tian said, "Her grandfather is the president of the Great Xia Chamber of Commerce's Luo Jiang Prefecture branch. Many of the resource exchanges and demon core sales at Luo Jiang Academy go through the Chamber of Commerce's channels."

"Hmph, Xiao Weiqing only has eyes for Wei Lan; how could a little girl like me catch his eye?"

Xiao Weiqing looked embarrassed, "That's not true. I am very familiar with the people in the Upper Academy, and of course, that includes you."

Huang Yitong mocked, "Is that so? How many names of Upper Academy Trainees can you name?"

"..."

"I bet it's definitely not more than 30."

Xiao Weiqing fell silent.

He quickly flashed through all the Upper Academy Trainees in his mind and found that he could only name about 20.

"Nothing to say now, right?"

...

The three returned to the Ziwei Courtyard.

The people of the Upper Academy were all concentrated in the Ziwei Pavilion training room, all engaged in actual combat.

They were about to enter the Civilization Ruins. For most of them, this was their first time entering the ruins—an unknown world filled with dangers.

Just as Xiao Weiqing returned to the Villa, he received a message from Qian Yi.

Luo Jiang Academy, instructor residence area.

A chic, elegant courtyard with many exotic flowers and plants in the yard.

In the pavilion outside the Villa, a woman wearing a purple cheongsam sat on a chair, her exquisite curves fully visible.

"You're here?"

"Come and sit."

Xiao Weiqing sat down, "Teacher Qian, what did you need me for?"
