Abyssal Invasion, I Wield Dark Authority – Chapter 29

Ch 29: Road Permit? Skipping Class

Although Qin Jin-Nian’s presence in the class was quite low, they had been classmates for more than two years, so it wasn’t like they didn’t know each other.

Well, in a way, Qin Jin-Nian’s presence wasn’t actually low… After all, as the one with the lowest scores in both life and spirit in the class, it was actually quite difficult to not be noticed.

It’s just that his personality was a bit too gloomy and solitary, and he basically didn’t speak much in class. Occasionally, when someone spoke to him, he would often remain silent or simply respond with a word or two… It made people feel quite speechless.

Over time, naturally, no one was willing to talk to him anymore, and his presence completely dropped to zero.

I didn’t expect that when we talked about the black market today, this most taciturn guy in the class would actually show interest and even take the initiative to strike up a conversation with me?

Mu Bai was thinking with some surprise.

At this moment, the others also reacted, but no one paid attention to Qin Jin-Nian. Instead, they quickly asked Mu Bai, “That’s right, that’s right, I heard the black market is hard to find. Ordinary people can’t even find a way in. It requires a road permit… So what exactly is a road permit? And how do you get one?”

Everyone became very curious about this.

Mu Bai shrugged and said, “I’m not too sure how to get it specifically. I only know that there are two kinds of road permits. One is a one-time use… The one my uncle got this time is this kind. After activation, there will be spiritual energy fluctuations, guiding the direction. You need to arrive within an hour, and then the power in the road permit will completely erupt, temporarily opening the black market gate.”

“The other kind, it’s said, is permanent. But a permanent black market road permit is too difficult to get. I heard that only the big shots in the black market can possess it. No matter how the location of the black market gate changes, this kind of road permit can easily find it… I haven’t seen it, but I’ve heard elders in my family mention it. That road permit seems to be a black card. But as for the specifics, I don’t know.”

Mu Bai spoke eloquently, and the rest of the people exclaimed in admiration.

Only Qin Jin-Nian’s expression was momentarily blank.

Black…

Card?

He touched his pocket.

In his pocket… it seems, there’s one?

It can’t be such a coincidence, right?

This thing… is that so-called black market road permit?

His expression gradually became strange.

◈◈◈

Next, everyone continued to discuss the topic of the black market, but Qin Jin-Nian had already stopped paying attention. He sat in the last row by the window, leaned on the table, but took out the black card and examined it in the desk drawer, his eyes flickering, naturally recalling the strange behavior of the youth yesterday…

“The black market entrance is not fixed, and it often changes… That youth yesterday wandered around the city for a long time, and finally even went to the development zone… He wouldn’t be, looking for the black market entrance, right?”

Qin Jin-Nian thought with a strange expression, looking at the black card, and after a slight moment of contemplation, he made a decision.

“No matter what, I have to give it a try… If I can really go to the black market, then the resource problem will have a chance to be solved…”

Research it after school…

Thinking, he put the black card away.

◈◈◈

Soon, it was almost time for the afternoon class, and more and more students returned to the classroom, making the whole classroom even more noisy and lively.

“Eh? Qin Jin-Nian, where did you go this morning?”

A surprised voice made Qin Jin-Nian turn his head. He saw his deskmate, Song Fang. He returned to his desk and found Qin Jin-Nian lying on the table, looking a bit surprised and astonished.

“I didn’t get a number for three consecutive days. I went to the hospital this morning to deal with the mental pollution.”

Qin Jin-Nian said the reason he had thought of.

Unexpectedly, Qin Jin-Nian’s answer made Song Fang stunned. His eyes revealed a few traces of surprise. He blinked his eyes and then sat in his own seat, and then smiled, “That’s true. The hospital has been very busy these two days. The community downstairs from my house has been lined up like a long dragon… I only finished dealing with it yesterday afternoon.”

Saying this, he sighed, “This damn blood moon, oh…”

Qin Jin-Nian also nodded in agreement.

And then the two of them had nothing to say…

The two of them were deskmates, but because it was a tiered classroom, with the circular desks seating at least dozens of people, they could be considered deskmates.

But the original owner’s personality was solitary, and he hardly spoke to them.

Three months ago, Qin Jin-Nian had transmigrated here, but because he had no confidence and was full of fear, he also adhered to the principle of saying less and making fewer mistakes, observing more and not speaking much.

Song Fang’s personality was relatively cheerful. Because he was Qin Jin-Nian’s deskmate, he was one of the few in the class who would greet Qin Jin-Nian when they saw him.

◈◈◈

But most of the time, Qin Jin-Nian would only politely nod his head, and that would be the end. Today, Qin Jin-Nian answered his question so carefully for the first time, which made him feel somewhat surprised.

But he didn’t care. Seeing that Qin Jin-Nian seemed to have returned to his taciturn self, Song Fang shook his head and started chatting with the classmates on the other side. Slowly finding some topics, he started talking enthusiastically, and Qin Jin-Nian was ignored again.

Until the class bell rang, Mu Bai suddenly stood up and then clapped his hands. The classmates also subconsciously looked at him, and the talking gradually quieted down.

“Class is starting. Save the talk for the Super Martial Arts classroom. Now, in groups, go to the Super Martial Arts classroom together.”

Yes, Mu Bai was the class monitor.

“The third group, gather in the corridor.”

“The seventh group, gather in the corridor.”

“The ninth group…”

Soon, the group leaders called out loudly, and soon the classmates also went out one after another.

It sounds complicated, but in reality, everyone knew that it was Super Martial Arts class in the afternoon, so most of them had already gathered before the end of the class, and after going out, they went to the Super Martial Arts classroom.

Mu Bai and Song Fang also went out, and soon there were not many people left in the classroom.

After a while, only Qin Jin-Nian was left.

Qin Jin-Nian: “…”

No wonder no one called or texted him. Did the people in his group forget about him?

He listened carefully just now, but he didn’t hear the sound of the fiftieth group gathering.

But thinking about it carefully, it was also very normal.

The martial arts class was basically about standing still and refining the body, or practicing some boxing techniques. With the original owner’s thin physique, basically during the Super Martial Arts class, he would just stand at the edge of the classroom and watch from a close distance… He had never actually been on the field.

If it was said that in the class, because of his last place in the grades, he still had some presence.

Then in the Super Martial Arts classroom, he really didn’t have any presence at all.

To put it simply, the group members would pair up to practice boxing. When the class started, they would find that all of their partners were there. Who would care whether a spectator who had always just stood by the wall and silently watched them was there or not?

As for the group leader’s responsibility to provide guidance… but the premise is that the object of guidance also needs something to be guided…

And Qin Jin-Nian…

Well, his vitality was only 4 before, and he didn’t even meet the threshold to attend the Super Martial Arts class. He could only be a spectator. What was there to guide?

Looking at the empty classroom, he was both amused and annoyed. After thinking for a moment, Qin Jin-Nian simply pursed his lips.

Anyway, his presence was so low. It’s better not to attend this class.

It’s just right to skip class and study this black card…

Action is better than thought. Qin Jin-Nian left the classroom.

On the way, he met many other students from other classes who were planning to go to the Super Martial Arts classroom, but no one paid attention to Qin Jin-Nian. Even if they saw him, they just glanced over. He easily came to the school wall.

Looking around, there was no one. Qin Jin-Nian reached out and pressed his hand on the wall.

At the same time, a layer of black shadow appeared on his hand. The shadow turned into something like a suction cup with fine, jagged barbs. After testing it, it very easily and tightly adhered to the wall.

He nodded in satisfaction, and then used his hands and feet, and a similar ‘shadow device’ appeared under his feet.

With the help of the ‘tool’, Qin Jin-Nian easily climbed over the wall and then jumped over…

The first day after the blood moon, after being late… he skipped class.
