Chapter 54 The Falcon's Invitation
Pei Hening had fed flowers before when she killed monsters.
But this was the first time I had ever seen a flower devour a person up close. Bright red blood dripped from the petals onto the ground, where it was instantly absorbed by the weeds.
——
This was her first time visiting Chu Xuange's vehicle.
Looking around, there was nothing else but a copy of "The Legend of Gallagher" and a half-finished notebook on the coffee table.
Seeing the curiosity in her eyes, Chu Xuange asked, "Would you like me to introduce you?"
Pei Hening shook her head: "No, I want to see it myself."
She picked up the book "The Legend of Gallagher" from the coffee table and flipped through it casually.
Some parts of the book have been circled and underlined, indicating that the book has already been read.
The page she turned to read—"In the year 8555 of the Highway Calendar, war reached the dwarves. I despairingly discovered that, without knowing the consequences, I had committed a mistake that even a legendary weapon forger could not undo..."
Pei Hening instantly understood why Chu Xuange had asked her to buy Gallagher's book during the closed beta test; it indeed contained a lot of information.
She picked up another notebook, which was filled with detailed records of various potion-making methods.
Chu Xuange handed her a segment of orange and said with a smile, "This is for you. I haven't finished writing it yet."
Pei Hening put down her notebook. "Take me to see the land you're cultivating? Oh, right, I cleared several plots of land, they're still in my backpack. I'll give them to you now."
Pei Hening manipulated the panel and gifted all the land to him.
He took her to see the vegetables growing in flowerpots and picked out two of the best-looking oranges for her.
The location card is about to expire.
Pei Hening, carrying two oranges, waved to Chu Xuange.
Chu Xuange stood there, watching her departing figure, his expression forlorn...
After adjusting his mindset, Chu Xuange returned to his car and drove forward. He hadn't finished his target mileage for the day yet!
However, after driving for only an hour, he encountered a stop – a "boxing gym".
Chu Xuange's expression hardened slightly; this was one of his regular haunts in his previous life.
The "Boxing Gym" belongs to "Vice City". On the surface, it is a place to learn fighting skills, watch fights, and relax. But secretly, it also has dozens of deathmatch rings for people from "Vice City" to duel and bet on. It is bloody and violent!
He glanced at the time, turned the car around, and drove towards the station.
——
After Pei Hening and Chu Xuange separated, she used [Paladin's brand dumbbells] to exercise while 002 drove.
"Master, there are small animals blocking the way ahead."
Pei Hening raised her hand and touched the cat-ear hat she was wearing: "Stop the car."
The cat-ear hat hasn't been used in a long time, and I wonder what kind of animal it attracted this time.
She got off the bus carrying a home medicine kit and two bottles of basic treatment medication.
It was a small black and white jumping spider, about the size of a palm, covered in fur. There were bite wounds on its body, and it looked infected.
The little jumping spider moved its main black, glassy eye and waved its arms and legs excitedly: "Master Cat! Save me! Save me! Save me!"
Pei Hening squatted down to treat its wound and asked, "How did this happen? This wound is a bit deep."
Little Jumping Spider: "I was injured while hunting at the edge of the Magic Forest."
Pei Hening's ears twitched, and she asked, "Is the Magic Forest far from here?"
"Far!"
After she treated the wound, the little jumping spider fiddled around for a while and pulled out a feather of unknown material from somewhere.
"My lady cat, this is for you!"
As soon as she took the feather, the little jumping spider flew away.
The feather gave her a very familiar feeling—wasn't this the one Shuxiao used to point the way?
[Friendship Feather] (Frostfall): A feather given by the Frostfall tribe to a friend.
There is nothing more than this simple explanation.
Pei Hening decisively put it on [unnecessary explanation] and looked again!
(Wow, a friendship feather handmade by the Frostfall Clan! Where did you get it?)
(Although the birth of a Frostborn person brings a blizzard, the Frostborn are experts at playing with fire, brave and warlike, and not to be trifled with... You came from the proper channels, right?)
Pei Hening stuffed the [Friendship Feather] into her backpack.
"Master, it's quite lively at the highway school. They're discussing dropping out and race issues. Would you like 002 to read it to you?"
"read."
[Falcon]: I met six non-human students at the school, but I haven't had a chance to interact with them yet.
[Falcon]: Please pay more attention to this information.
[Princess Doris]: I met a tree person who has the same teacher as me.
[Megsilly]: I've also gained a classmate from another race...
[Princess Doris]: @Frank, how are things going on your end? Will you be expelled again?
[Frank]: Hahaha, I was supposed to be expelled, but then a complete idiot came along who was even dumber than me. My teacher thought I could still be saved, so he brought me back.
[Fire the boss]: @Frank, is your teacher Ditian, an elf?
[Frank]:?
[Frank]: How did you know? @FiredBossSquid
[Falcon]: I found a copy of the "Encyclopedia of Races" in the library. You guys should take a look when you have time.
[As helpless as a dog]: Got it @Falcon
[Fire the boss]: When my teacher was teaching, she mentioned Titien and said that she was so angry that her hair was always sticking up like a prickly fruit in a magical forest.
[Frank]: Huh? I thought it was a trend that Ditian was following, and I even said that elves had no taste...
[Megsil]: Laughed.
[As helpless as a dog]: I can't hold it in anymore.
[Hanada Chiko]: I've met students from the Abyss Clan. Most of their skills are water-related, and they have very high initial agility stats, making them incredibly fast. I observed one of her "Combat Prediction" classes, and she has a real talent for prediction. @Falcon
[Falcon]: @HanadaChiko, can you roughly determine whether they are friend or foe?
[Hanada Chiko]: I haven't known her for very long, so I can't judge her.
[Falcon]: @HanadaChiko, you need to be extra careful until you determine whether the other party is friend or foe.
[Princess Doris]: @HanadaChiko Huh? Where did Matsushita Kojiro go in the group? And there's someone named Makino Tatsuko? Did he change his name?
[Hanada Chiko]: Okay @Falcon
[Tatsuko Makino]: I'm not Kojiro Matsushita, I'm Tatsuko Makino. Um, he gave me his student status, and I just joined the group chat today!
[Hanada Chiko]: He didn't change his name, don't mention him @Princess Doris
Pei Hening recalled [Hanada Ichiko]'s reaction when she reminded her.
I have a vague feeling that [Kojiro Matsushita] may have already been dealt with by her.
At the same time, [Falcon] sent Pei Hening a private message.
[Falcon]: Hello, I am a member of the national security department, codename Falcon. I would like to invite you to meet at the school. If you are interested, we can set a time to meet.
