Chapter 121: Mission: Support the West Coastline
Li Feng had a bit of a headache, but he still walked over to Keli’s side and sat down.
“Hello, Li Feng, my name is Keli. If you need to enhance any equipment, come find me. Considering we’re deskmates, I’ll give you a 20% discount.”
Keli had a bright smile on her face.
Her black-brown hair was tied up, and she wore blue and yellow clothes with two silver belts wrapped around her waist.
“Okay, I’ll come to you when I need it.” Li Feng had an awkward but polite smile on his face.
From the argument he had just heard, he had already dismissed the idea of going to Keli for equipment enhancement.
…
…
“What mission?”
“Didn’t we just complete a mission last week? Why is there another one? I was planning to grind Purgatory.”
Many students grumbled.
Wen Wanyu glanced at the students below and said, “This mission was issued from above. The operation is codenamed ‘Support the West Coastline’.”
“As expected, it’s about the West Coastline.” Li Feng’s eyes flashed. He had already heard about this from Hua An, and now the mission had finally arrived.
“Didn’t they say the situation at the West Coastline had stabilized? Why do they still need support?”
“Although the top-tier dimensional creatures have been pushed back, many lower-level dimensional creatures have escaped. I heard that many counties have been attacked, resulting in a large number of casualties.”
“. . .”
Many students had already heard the news and started discussing it.
“Very good. It seems everyone is aware of the situation, so you should also understand that this mission is mandatory. Now, let me explain the details of the mission.”
Wen Wanyu said fainty, “As students of the Summoner Academy, we are best at group fights. This time, our mission is mainly to exterminate swarm-type dimensional creatures. The area we are responsible for is the coast of the Black Sea.”
“What? The coast of the Black Sea?”
“Damn, are you kidding me? Swarm-type dimensional creatures are already difficult to deal with, and now we have to go to that godforsaken place? That’s just sending us to our deaths!”
“. . .”
As soon as she finished speaking, many students wailed.
Wen Wanyu shrugged and said, “This mission was personally selected by Headmaster Hao. It’s already been decided, so your objections are useless. Get ready, we’re leaving tomorrow morning at eight o’clock!”
She was also puzzled. Although this class was not weak, it was still a bit of a stretch to clear out the dimensional creatures along the Black Sea coast.
This mission was originally assigned to Class One, but for some reason, it had fallen to them. Wen Wanyu shook her head, stopped thinking about it, and left the classroom.
University was not like high school. It encouraged free learning.
…
…
“Oh my god, not only do we have to exterminate swarm-type dimensional creatures, but we also have to go near the Black Sea. It’s over, it’s over. I need to go back and write a will, leaving my little vault to my Little Brother and Little Sister.”
Keli lay on the table in despair, with a look of utter hopelessness.
“What are swarm-type dimensional creatures?” Li Feng asked curiously.
Keli explained, “Swarm-type dimensional creatures are like wolves, ants, and so on. They may not be strong individually, but if you provoke one, it’s like provoking their entire ancestry. If you hit the young ones, not only will their parents come out, but even their great-grandparents will show up.”
At this point, she became slightly proud, “Of course, for us Summoners, group fights are our specialty. The key is the Black Sea.”
Li Feng asked, “Is there anything special about that place?”
He was curious why everyone looked so desperate when that place was mentioned.
“Have you heard of uncontrolled dungeons?” Before Keli could speak, a student in front spoke up, “There’s an uncontrolled Awakened Level Dungeon near the Black Sea.”
◈◈◈
“Uncontrolled dungeons? The academy is actually assigning us a mission of this difficulty.” Li Feng was a little surprised.
He had, of course, heard of uncontrolled dungeons. The entrances to these dungeons would move within a certain range and were not fixed.
From time to time, a small number of dimensional creatures would rush out of these dungeons.
Ordinary dimensional creatures were fine, but the problem was if there were one or two Awakened Level dimensional creatures mixed in.
Great Xia Nation also had a lot of trouble with these dungeons because the entrances would appear randomly, making them impossible to defend against.
“That’s why we’re so desperate.” Keli gnashed her teeth and said, “Logically, our class’s strength shouldn’t be able to handle this kind of dungeon. Why are we being assigned to this place?”
“That’s right. I suspect the higher-ups in the academy have had their brains kicked by a donkey.”
“I agree +27.”
Keli’s words immediately resonated with many students.
Hearing this, Li Feng felt a little guilty. Could it be because of him? He thought for a moment and said, “Maybe the academy has high hopes for us and wants to deliberately temper us. Don’t think too badly of them.”
“Temper my a*s. They’re clearly sending us to our deaths, to fill the bellies of the sea beasts.”
“Exactly. You’re new here, so you don’t know how dark this academy is. From the Headmaster to our Instructor Wen, none of them are normal.”
Many students scoffed.
“Is there anything abnormal about Instructor Wen?” Li Feng asked curiously. He thought Wen Wanyu had a pretty good personality.
The student in front turned to look at Li Feng and shook his head, “You’re too naive. You’ll find out eventually.”
Then he looked Li Feng up and down seriously and extended a hand, “It’s rare to see such a pure kid like you. Let’s be friends. My name is Zhou Hao. By the way, what’s your class?”
“Hello.” Li Feng shook his hand, “I’m a Mechanic.”
“A Mechanic? Then you’re in trouble. The sea beasts in the Black Sea are all tough and have strong recovery abilities. Ordinary guns and cannons have no effect on them. You need a good weapon.” Zhou Hao said kindly.
It wasn’t that he looked down on Mechanics, but the Mechanics in Great Xia Nation were just too weak.
“That’s right. A good weapon will greatly increase your strength.” Keli agreed deeply and then started promoting herself again, “If you need enhancement, feel free to come to me. I can guarantee a success rate of at least 90%.”
“Then give me back my staff first. You said you could enhance it to +5, but it broke after only three tries. Even if other enhancers fail, they only downgrade the item at most.” Zhou Hao said angrily.
Keli retorted, “That’s your own bad luck. What’s it got to do with me?”
Li Feng: “. . .”
He felt like he had entered a class full of weirdos.
“Ahem. Class, let’s begin.”
Just then, an old man walked in. He looked at the students below with a hint of pity in his eyes, “This lesson will mainly cover how to escape from a large number of sea beasts and how to die more gracefully before you die.”
Everyone: “. . .”
