Chapter 285 Yuntian City
Li Qian looked at his seniors, A-Du, Ling and Ge Zhengdao, and had a preliminary understanding of this training.
Three graduated seniors are needed to provide escort. This "training" will definitely not be as easy as the previous three days.
Li Qian even speculated that there might be some dangers of varying degrees.
Of course, he would never say such a thing.
Danger itself is part of the training.
Or, more precisely, part of the trial.
After everything was ready, Instructor Zhou did not waste any more time and led the group of freshmen forward.
His figure was the first to disappear into the light curtain.
Li Qian remembered that the girl in the first place was called Gu Yao. She glanced at Instructor Zhou's back and followed him into the light curtain without hesitation.
The others were not afraid and followed him in.
Li Qian was in the middle of the queue. He had a determined look in his eyes and walked in at a leisurely pace.
At the moment when Li Qian and other freshmen stepped into the dimensional gate, in a secret room in the Adventurer's Hall, a young man with hair like flames looked at the surveillance picture with concern.
The picture shows the scene when Li Qian and his companions stepped into the dimensional gate.
"Isn't this move by Principal Park a bit too big?" The young red-haired man expressed his concern.
"The situation is becoming more and more turbulent. If possible, I believe that Principal Park would also like them to grow up safely." Standing next to the young red-haired man was a young woman who was dressed in a tight suit and looked heroic.
She continued, "What Principal Park did is not really a case of forcing things to grow. It's time for them to experience some hardships."
"In previous years, only some talented freshmen were brought into the dimensional plane for training, and there were many people watching them. It seemed dangerous, but it was actually very safe." The young red-haired man also said, "But this year, it was directly extended to all freshmen. The number is so large, I am really worried, what if something goes wrong..."
"It'll be fine, don't worry." The woman in tight clothes said with certainty, "We have arranged a team of experienced graduates to support each team of freshmen, so there will be no problems."
"What's more, this year's instructors are specially arranged, and their strength is much stronger than that of previous years."
The woman in tight clothes continued to speak, "With so many layers of protection, they will definitely be able to get enough experience without any danger."
After hearing this, the young red-haired man's frown relaxed a little, and he murmured to himself, "I hope so!"
On the other hand, on the other side, Li Qian's group of freshmen have all entered the dimensional gate.
After stepping in, the next moment, they appeared in a huge square.
Li Qian immediately looked around, but what he saw shocked him.
I saw that this was a stone platform square. The square was very large and square, with a length and width estimated to be about 500 meters.
In the middle of the square stands a stone gate, and inside the gate is a hazy light curtain.
Under Li Qian's gaze, at this moment, many beastmasters were walking out of the light curtain, and similarly, many beastmasters were entering the light curtain.
Just as Li Qian was looking around and observing, many freshmen in the queue were already cheering excitedly.
"what!"
"Oh my God!"
“This is Yuntian City!”
"This city wall is probably hundreds of meters high."
“The architectural style is also different from that of Shazhou City.”
“It’s not different from Shazhou City, but it’s different from most cities in the country.”
"..."
The freshmen were talking a lot, and Li Qian could naturally hear it clearly. He looked in the direction of the discussions and found that outside the square, although there were many densely packed buildings, they were basically low bungalows. Slightly taller buildings were rare, let alone high-rise buildings.
Li Qian even felt that this place was slightly inferior to some counties in his previous life.
Senior Ling also heard the freshmen's sighs and cheers. She picked out a few questions and answered them, "It's normal. It's not just Yuntian City. In fact, all the cities in the dimensional plane are different from the ancestral star."
Seeing some freshmen coming towards her, she simply started to explain, "Compared to the ancestral planet, the dimensional plane is vast and boundless. In addition to the world we see, there are deeper and higher-level planes."
"Human beast masters actually only occupy a small part of the world."
After a pause, she continued, "Human beastmasters are not the masters of the dimensional plane. They also face various problems and dangers. Therefore, the buildings here are basically practical. Except for the city walls, they are generally no more than ten stories high."
"In fact, as you can see, even those with seven or eight floors are very rare."
"Why is that?" After hearing Senior Ling's explanation, some students looked puzzled.
Senior Ling looked at the freshman who asked the question and gave a simple example, "Tell me, if you were in danger one day, would it be faster to go directly from the first or second floor, or from the seventh or eighth floor?"
"I see!" The freshman suddenly realized after hearing Senior Ling's example.
Her words also increased Li Qian's understanding, so he nodded slightly.
After waiting for a while to let the freshmen digest and absorb the information, she continued, "Also, the industrial base of humans here is relatively weak, at least a million miles away from that of the ancestral planet. Therefore, in Yuntian City, electricity is also an extremely precious resource. To build so many high-rise buildings and run the city, more electricity is needed..."
Just as Senior Sister Ling finished her explanation, Instructor Zhou's voice suddenly rang out.
He clapped his hands, attracted everyone's attention, and said, "Okay, this morning, our schedule is to enter Yuntian City. It is relatively safe here. From now until one o'clock in the afternoon, it is free time."
"Next, the three teachers and I will lead six or seven people each to help you get familiar with Yuntian City."
As soon as his voice fell, cheers broke out at the scene.
After a while, the freshmen, under the leadership of Instructor Zhou, were divided into four teams and dispersed in four directions of the square.
Li Qian and five classmates followed senior Adu and walked towards the east.
It was more convenient and flexible for them to break up into smaller groups. "Senior Adu, where is that?" After walking for a while, one of the slightly fat boys pointed to a busy street and asked.
"Free trade zone." After hearing this, Senior Adu pointed in that direction and led everyone forward, talking as he walked.
After entering the block, everyone immediately looked around. It was quite lively inside, but the scene was not chaotic. It could be said that it was in good order.
Inside the block, on both sides, there are shops in every grid. Although the area is not large, the items on display are very rich. It is no exaggeration to say that it is dazzling.
Senior Adu greeted a shop owner, who must be an old acquaintance. After greeting him, he continued, "You can trade here, exchange contribution points, federal coins, or even barter. Anything is fine."
"Of course, you can also trade it to various pet shops outside after leaving the dimensional plane. It will be a little more troublesome, but the price will be slightly higher."
"It's also possible to auction or trade directly on the pet mall, but the timeliness is a bit slow."
Li Qian was also very curious. He glanced around and soon saw some materials he needed, wind chime fruit, Xunfeng bamboo, and some life-related materials. They seemed to be much cheaper than buying them directly from the pet mall.
"Yeah." Nodding slightly, Li Qian continued to follow the pace of the queue.
After crossing the block, the group walked for a distance. Whenever the freshmen encountered any new and interesting buildings, they would ask about them. Senior Adu gave detailed explanations for each of these questions.
"What is that?" After walking for a while, a tower about ten stories high came into the sight of the freshmen.
"That's the Beast Taming Tower!"
Senior Adu looked towards the location of the tower with a look of reverence in his eyes, "It's the station of the garrison commander."
"Gangster?" Li Qian chewed over the word and fell into deep thought.
Senior Adu faced the tower, as if he was looking at something. He continued, "The cities in the dimensional plane are different from those on the ancestral planet. Every city has a garrison commander. They are the greatest guarantee of the city's safety."
"What about those soldiers on the city wall?" a freshman asked in confusion.
"Those soldiers are more of a warning. Of course, they can solve small problems, but they are useless when encountering big problems." Senior Adu shook his head and explained. He continued to focus his eyes on the tower. "For large cities, the strength of the garrison commanders is usually legendary."
"Legendary level?!" Li Qian's heart suddenly trembled after hearing this.
"Although it is different from the cities on the ancestral planet, in the dimensional plane, even large cities only have a population of a few million. However, those who can venture into the dimensional plane are all the best among humans. It is also very necessary to protect their safety." Senior Adu stopped and stared for a long time. He kept explaining, as if he wanted to explain the importance of this matter. "Without these guardians, human beast masters would not be able to gain a foothold in this dimensional plane."
"A medium-sized city is a Holy Spirit-level beastmaster."
"The small city is an imperial-level beastmaster."
At the end, he suddenly opened his mouth and asked a question, "Do you know why it is said that this dimensional rift in Shazhou City was suppressed by our Shazhou Beast Taming University?"
"Is it related to these ten cities?" Li Qian reacted immediately.
Senior Adu looked at Li Qian and nodded approvingly, "Yes, the garrisons of these ten cities are almost all professors or deans of our Shazhou Beast Taming University, or graduates of our Shazhou Beast Taming University."
Next, the group continued to stroll around Yuntian City. Yuntian City is said to be a large city, but the city itself is not big.
By around noon, we had almost finished our shopping.
Of course, this also has a lot to do with the fact that they only visit some key areas and key buildings.
For example, they have basically never been to the west, north and residential areas.
Seeing this, Senior A-Du suggested, "Okay, we've almost finished shopping, let me take you guys to eat something."
Senior Adu was originally planning to treat everyone to a simple meal, just a few random dishes, but the slightly plump boy Ding Ganmao who had spoken earlier generously added more dishes for everyone.
Seeing this, Li Qian couldn't help but sigh in his heart, as expected, money and ability are popular everywhere.
After lunch, everyone didn't waste any more time and headed straight back to the central square. "Senior A-Du, didn't Instructor Zhou say we should gather at one o'clock?"
"We will gather at one o'clock. We moved it up half an hour earlier because we have something to tell you." Senior Adu said with a smile, "This afternoon, our training ground is the Moon Shadow Forest outside the city. Go to the task column of the Pet Center to see if there are any suitable tasks. If there are, you can take them up in advance."
The Beast Taming Center is located on the northern edge of the Central Square. After reaching the Central Square, just walk a few steps and you will arrive.
When the group of seven arrived at the Beast Taming Center, they found that a team had already arrived earlier. They were gathered under a screen watching some information.
"It's right there." Seeing everyone's eyes focused on that location, Senior Adu spoke up to add explanation.
Upon hearing this, the six freshmen immediately walked over and said, "There is a task to collect the sharp teeth of two-tailed cats."
"There is also a task to collect Jade Grass."
"..."
Li Qian heard the discussion among his classmates and asked, "Senior Adu, if two people accept a mission at the same time..."
Senior Adu smiled faintly, "I know what you want to ask?"
“Whoever submits first will get the reward!”
"Of course, if it's an unlimited number of tasks, then it doesn't matter."
"In addition, there are some tasks that do not need to be accepted. As long as you bring back the task materials, you can accept them on the spot and complete them on the spot."
Upon hearing this, Li Qian no longer hesitated and immediately went over to check.
"Capture a cat alive. This mission is quite interesting..." He took a quick look and found that there were not many missions related to Moon Shadow Forest. One of them caught his attention.
Seeing Senior Adu coming over, Li Qian continued to ask, "Senior Adu, do you know about this mission?"
"This is a task that can be completed in unlimited times!" Senior Adu chuckled and answered the question irrelevantly.
Li Qian asked directly, "Why does the task publisher want to catch a cat with one tail, instead of two or three tails?"
Senior Adu stared at Li Qian, with a faint smile on his face. "This mission, I happen to know something about it. It was issued by the Shazhou City Breeder Association. The reason for the large-scale capture of one-tailed cats is that a breeder in the breeding association seems to have developed a variant of the one-tailed cat, and its racial potential is much higher than that of the two-tailed cat and the three-tailed cat!"
"So that's it!" Li Qian looked enlightened after hearing this.
