When Chu Qingxue saw Fang Xiu, a rare smile appeared on her cool and aloof face.
She looked beautiful.
"Oh? Here?"
Fang Xiu nodded slightly.
The prices here were rather high; this was an upscale neighborhood.
But Chu Qingxue’s family seemed very wealthy, so it was normal for her to live here.
"Yes, Building Three, 1501. If you want to find me, you can come straight here. I live alone!"
Chu Qingxue said, then, realizing how her words might sound, she added, "Just call ahead of time. I’m not always home!"
"Yeah, alright!"
Fang Xiu didn’t think there was anything wrong with it.
He gave a slight nod.
"The materials you wanted are all inside this Space Storage Device!"
Chu Qingxue didn’t say much more, simply handing a Space Storage Device that looked like a USB drive to Fang Xiu.
"Okay, once I’ve transferred them, I’ll give it back to you!"
Fang Xiu took a look.
Inside was a pile of materials.
Fang Xiu saw that for some of them, there were even two or more sets.
These were all materials for raising Kajimi to Tier Three.
"No need. I have several other Space Storage Devices. This one has a small capacity, so I never use it!"
Chu Qingxue shook her head.
Although Space Storage Devices were difficult to purchase, for a family like hers, they still had their channels.
"Alright then, thank you!"
Fang Xiu nodded slightly.
He didn’t say much else.
"Don’t mention it!"
Chu Qingxue shook her head slightly.
Then, both of them fell into silence.
After all, Fang Xiu was not a talkative person to begin with.
And Chu Qingxue, the person before him, clearly wasn’t either.
"Also, thank you for saving me!"
Chu Qingxue added.
These were the materials she had helped him find after he saved her.
It was considered payment to Fang Xiu.
Chu Qingxue had used her family’s connections to gather them all.
But it hadn’t been too much trouble.
She knew that Fang Xiu must want these materials to craft some kind of Equipment.
When crafting Equipment, there was naturally a chance of failure.
So, for any materials she could get two sets of, Chu Qingxue generally got two, or even three.
"Don’t mention it. Uncle Zhao wasn’t around at the time, and I didn’t know who else to look for, so I had no choice but to go myself!"
Fang Xiu said.
He had originally intended to find Uncle Zhao.
But there was nothing to be done; Zhao Yao simply wasn’t there.
Fang Xiu also tried to find Principal Yue Tianrui, but he wasn’t there either.
So Fang Xiu could only go by himself.
Fortunately, with Kajimi there, Fang Xiu had dispatched the Level 40 boss with ease.
"Your strength is incredible. You were only Level 15 when you killed a Level 40 boss!"
Chu Qingxue was truly curious about Fang Xiu’s strength.
He could kill a Level 40 boss at Level 15.
Now that he’s Level 26, he should be able to kill even higher-Level Demon Beasts, right?
Chu Qingxue looked at Fang Xiu with curiosity.
"What is it?"
Feeling a bit embarrassed by her stare, Fang Xiu asked.
"I’m just very curious about what kind of person you are. An SSS Level Sacrificial Master... Although I’ve never interacted with a Sacrificial Master before, I know that they all rely on Sacrifice to gain power!"
Chu Qingxue paused.
She sized Fang Xiu up with curiosity.
Then she continued, "Ordinary Sacrificial Masters can only Sacrifice Demon Beasts, and if the Sacrifice isn’t good, they’ll even be punished. But the corpse of the Level 40 boss you killed is still in the same place!"
"Well, I rely on my other Skills. As for Sacrifice, it’s just as you said—a bad Sacrifice leads to punishment. What Deity would want a Level 40 boss as a pet? They’d probably think it’s too shabby to even guard their gate!"
Fang Xiu said helplessly.
A direct Sacrifice would have certainly been the best option.
But who would want something like a Level 40 boss?
Not a single Deity would want such a mediocre Demon Beast that’s only good for killing to get Equipment drops.
"Pfft, you’re right. A Demon Beast like that really is lacking something if you’re offering it to the Deities!"
Chu Qingxue was amused by Fang Xiu and laughed.
Even Fang Xiu looked down on a Level 40 boss.
Let alone the Deities?
Fang Xiu was captivated by Chu Qingxue’s smile.
’She really lives up to her name as the cool and aloof campus belle, Chu Qingxue.’
’She’s so cute when she smiles.’
’It’s a good thing the system hasn’t appeared right now, or else I absolutely wouldn’t make a Sacrifice this time.’
"Oh, right. My dad said that in a little while, he’s going to try and get me a spot at a place where I can train. It’s not confirmed yet, but do you want to go? I can ask my dad to help. With your Talent, I’m sure it’ll be easy for you to get in!"
Chu Qingxue suddenly remembered something.
She had forgotten everything after seeing Fang Xiu just now.
Now she felt a little embarrassed.
’She didn’t understand it herself. For so many years, she hadn’t felt anything for any man, but now her heart raced whenever she saw Fang Xiu.’
"Hmm? Is this about the proposal to send students to the Demon Beast Battlefield?"
Fang Xiu listened to what Chu Qingxue said.
’How is this the same as what Principal Xiang said?’
"Ah? You know about it?"
Chu Qingxue nodded slightly. "Yes, it’s that matter. But my dad isn’t sure if it will go through. He just wants to get me a spot, since my Level during the Awakening was decent!"
"That’s true. With your Talent, you’d be given a spot even if you went to university. An S Level Talent is more than enough to go to the Demon Beast Battlefield!"
Fang Xiu nodded slightly. "But the Demon Beasts there are extremely dangerous."
For Fang Xiu, who had experienced the events in the Demon Beast Realm,
he understood even better just how formidable these Demon Beasts with no Level restrictions could be.
Other Gate Worlds have various Level restrictions. As long as you don’t overreach and choose a Gate World that matches your own Level,
you can basically improve your strength and hunt Demon Beasts safely.
But the Demon Beast Realm was different. Demon Beasts from Level 1 to Level 100 could all potentially appear.
And the Demon Beast Battlefield was the same.
That’s why sending students to the Demon Beast Battlefield was so controversial.
After all, the students who were chosen and had a chance to enter the Demon Beast Battlefield were all talented.
Like the S Level Chu Qingxue, and those with A Level Talents.
After all, only those with at least an A Level Talent even had the chance to enter the Demon Beast Battlefield.
S Level talents were just as rare as an SSS Level like Fang Xiu; in fact, Chu Qingxue was the only one.
Therefore, if such a decision were to be made, it would definitely include those with at least A Level Talents.
Although A Level Talents were also very rare, there were at least a number of them.
If you gathered all the students with A Level Talent from several regions, or even the whole country, the number would be substantial.
But these people represented the strength of the nation’s next generation; they were the seed players, so to speak.
If these people were sent into the Demon Beast Battlefield and something happened to them,
it would likely be a national loss.
That was the source of the controversy.
Some people felt that letting these students experience a real battlefield early was better than having them study in school for a few years.
But others felt that they could also learn a lot by gradually being exposed to the real Demon Beast World and encountering Demon Beasts in various Gate Worlds while at school.
Then, after graduation, they could consider entering the Demon Beast Battlefield.
By then, the Awakened would be more mature and have better judgment.
Their combat strength would also have increased thanks to their years of study at school.
"There’s danger everywhere."
Chu Qingxue looked outside and said, "Who’s to say we’re safe just sitting here?"
"BANG!"
Just then, a loud crash erupted from the street outside.
Fang Xiu quickly looked over and saw a Demon Beast had appeared on the street.
"A Demon Beast? How is that possible?"
Fang Xiu never would have imagined that a Demon Beast would actually appear in the middle of the city.
"What?"
Chu Qingxue looked over as well.
A Demon Beast that had appeared from who-knows-where was now on a rampage.
"Did you awaken two Talents? One S Level Ice Element, and one for prophecy?"
Fang Xiu looked at Chu Qingxue.
’She doesn’t actually have a hidden Talent, does she?’
Things like that happened sometimes, however rarely.
"N-No!"
Chu Qingxue shook her head.
Then she stood up and ran outside. "This Demon Beast must be dealt with!"
"Yeah, you’re right!"
Fang Xiu nodded slightly and followed her!
