Chapter 137: Entering School
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Whale Port Town was too prosperous.
But Su Hao remembered that there was still a long way to go, so he wasn’t in a hurry to understand it.
“Go through the admission procedures first and put your luggage away.”
Then, he took a look at the training facilities and venue of Whale Island University and arranged the tasks of the three sprites.
It wouldn’t be good if he took his time shopping then.
After sitting on a public bus for nearly an hour, they finally arrived at the campus gate of Whale Island University from the airport.
It convinced Su Hao.
Whale Port Town was really big.
The gate of Whale Island University was also very big!
Su Hao looked over.
In front of the school gate, on the left, stood a huge stone tablet. It was as tall as eight to nine floors, and on it were engraved the words “Whale Island University”.
The whole school gate was arched and about dozens of meters wide, enough for ten Lava Dragon Turtles to walk through side by side.
On both sides of the school gate were trees that were as tall as three to four floors.
It was lush and lush, surrounding the whole school.
But there were no fences or walls.
Su Hao pondered. Since Whale Island University didn’t allow outsiders to enter, why wasn’t it completely sealed off?
It seemed like it could pa.s.s through the woods on both sides and sneak into the campus.
It wasn’t until Reverie b.u.t.terfly made a “gurgle” that he noticed that faint light screens could be vaguely seen on the two sides of the school gate.
“What kind of technology is this?”
Su Hao shook his head and didn’t think about it. He walked forward.
The surroundings were empty. There was only a table in front of the flowerbed, and two sprites sat around it.
An Elephant General and a Golden-Armored Overlord.
Su Hao had already seen a lot of Elephant General. Its iconic stone war hammer stood upright on the ground, but it actually didn’t fall.
Golden-Armored Overlord was the evolved form of Golden-Armored Strongman, metal-element.
Like General Elephant, it was a human-shaped sprite that stood upright.
Its head was sharp and long, like a triangle. Its eyes were narrow, and the golden scales on its body were arranged neatly layer by layer, as if it was wearing a thick golden armor.
Its appearance alone was even more impressive and domineering than General Xiang.
The Golden Armor Overlord’s weapon was a broadsword nearly two meters long, dark golden in color.
The handle of the saber was facing the ground, standing still like a stone hammer.
Of course…
Whether it was the dark golden saber or the stone war hammer, they were essentially an extension of the two sprites’ bodies. Therefore, it wasn’t strange at all to leave them there… What the h.e.l.l!
On the table in front of the Elephant General and the Golden Armor Overlord was a set of Chinese chess pieces.
Compared to the size of the two sprites, this Xiangqi seemed a little small. Therefore, when they placed the chess pieces, it was a little difficult. If they weren’t careful, they would b.u.mp into other pieces…
“Moo-Moo!”
General Elephant pressed down on the Golden Armor Overlord’s hand.
How dare you cheat!
The Golden-Armored Overlord’s eyes flickered. ‘I’m not, don’t talk nonsense.’
Su Hao was stunned.
He had thought that… it was difficult for them to place the chess pieces, but who knew that it was actually for cheating.
The sprites in universities had deep schemes!
Reverie b.u.t.terfly seemed to have learned something.
But it looked at its little hand and fell into deep thought again.
In front of the school gate, Su Hao couldn’t find the security booth.
He didn’t see any other students, and his gaze returned to the two Gateway Sprites.
He poked the Reverie b.u.t.terfly on his head.
Reverie b.u.t.terfly asked them, “Gurgle, gurgle?”
The Golden Armor Overlord, which had failed to cheat, stood up with a bang. Its huge body blocked the sunlight and became a shadow that projected down.
It called.
The sound was sharp, a little like sobbing.
Su Hao was rendered speechless.
If he didn’t say anything, the Golden-Armored Overlord would definitely be a domineering older brother. Unfortunately, it wasn’t a mute.
The two sprites communicated for a while.
Su Hao understood.
He took out the admission notice and the recommendation letter from Summer King from his backpack.
The Golden Armor Overlord glanced at it twice, then waved its hand and let it pa.s.s.
…
Whale Island University’s campus covered an extremely large area.
How big was it?
It wasn’t written on the official website.
However, Whale Port Town only occupied a small part of the entire island, and the rest were university campuses. From this, one could imagine how big Whale Island University was.
Fortunately, Su Hao didn’t walk for long before he saw a few school buses parked by the roadside… They looked a little similar to the sightseeing cars in the park.
It read “Drivingless, Voice or manual choice destination”.
After he sat on it, he tried to press on the screen.
— He didn’t know the way, but Su Hao still knew that he had to go to the student management office first.
After selecting the destination, the school bus slowly drove along the wide road accompanied by a voice that was neither male nor female, “The bus is about to start, please sit tight.”
Ten minutes later, they arrived at their destination.
Along the way, Su Hao actually only saw two people and three sprites. It was as empty as a ghost town.
When they arrived at the Student Administration Office, there were more buildings nearby.
Su Hao looked at the notice on it and walked in.
In the hall of the Administration Office, probably because it was the holidays, there was only one teacher sitting in front of the computer at this time.
But there was another student in the hall.
There were three sprites beside him.
A Giant Tide Frog, the evolved form of the Blue Water Frog, was about the size of a water jar. Its mouth puffed up.
The final form of an Iron-Tailed Prawn—the evolved form of a Small River Lobster—was a Giant Cannon Lobster, slightly smaller than a Giant Tide Frog.
Its metallic tail tapped on the floor of the hall, producing cracking sounds.
The teacher from the Administration Office glared at the student and said, “If it’s damaged, you’ll get deducted from your credits.”
So the student hurriedly glared at the Iron-Tailed Prawns again.
This was the first time Su Hao had seen the last sprite in real life.
It was an Ice Six Tails.
It was the size of a domestic cat, with a slim body and short ice-blue hair. Its six tails floated like ribbons, with crystal-like icicles at the ends.
Elegant and n.o.ble.
Su Hao’s eyes stayed on Ice Six Tails for a long time.
“Gurgle!!”
Then, it was knocked on by Reverie b.u.t.terfly.
After the student in front completed the procedures, Su Hao walked forward. “h.e.l.lo, teacher. I’m a new student this year…”
He took out the admission notice and recommendation letter.
The female teacher checked it, put the recommendation letter into the drawer below, and started to settle the admission procedures for him.
As she spoke, she said, “At this time, it’s not yet time for the school to arrange for you to enroll in the school. I can’t apply for an official student card for you.”
She took out a card. “This is a temporary student card. There are 100 credits gifted by new students in it. Because it’s not official, it’s very troublesome to get the data back if you lose it, so… remember not to lose it.”
The most important thing in Sprite Universities was the credits system.
Every school was similar.
One credits could be exchanged for 10,000 Dragon Nation dollars.
But… cash cannot be exchanged for credits.
In the school, common resources such as elemental essences and jade powder could be bought with ordinary currency. Precious ones could only be exchanged with credits!
Whale Island University’s credits were also more valuable than ordinary sprite universities.
The reason was very simple.
Whale Island University had a lot of high-value items, far more than ordinary Sprite Universities. These items not only had the support of Dragon Nation, but also a lot of them. They were obtained by teachers and students from the school in the New World.
It was sold to the school, forming a good resource cycle.
100 credits represented countless resources.
Whale Island University’s gift right at the start could be said to be very rich and imposing.
But neither Su Hao nor that unknown student showed much emotion on their faces.
The teacher from the Administration Office wasn’t surprised.
Those who could get recommendation letters and enroll in school in advance couldn’t be that poor.
But she still warned, “All you have is a temporary credit card. Before school starts, you don’t have any way to get credits, so I suggest you use it sparingly.”
“It’s best if it’s used to buy various facilities and training venues… Those don’t require much credits, enough for you to use for the start of school.”
“Then, teacher, how are we going to get credits after school starts?”
He was asking about the boy in white next to him.
The teacher thought about it. “You can get credits for both the curriculum a.s.sessment and the mission, but to you, there’s still a chance to get a large amount of credits.”
“That is the challenge segment every year for new students.”
