Chapter 721: Unity, Is Strength…
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After meeting Li Mingyao, w.a.n.g Ling realized he had completely become famous, and had probably been noticed by some of the big families in Songhai.
The four big families of Songhai whom Li Mingyao had mentioned were a typical example. To be able to draw the attention of the four big families was enough to prove how serious the issue was.
Fortunately, w.a.n.g Ling himself was not stupid and had already been on guard earlier on.
With the upgraded version of the Great s.h.i.+elding Spell, it was almost impossible to investigate him, but w.a.n.g Ling was starting to feel a little worried. Previously, the Demon Hunters a.s.sociation hadn’t been able to track him down, and so had started to attack the people around him, making trouble for almost all the people who were close to him.
Had this Night Chief, far abroad, truly come up with a revenge plan this time that was aimed specifically at him?
w.a.n.g Ling thought that this matter was far more complicated than it seemed…
…
Approximately half an hour after lunch, the Rainbow Gla.s.s Box piloted by Wu Zhenjun was about to arrive at the secure base station in the central zone of Beast King’s Remains.
Before the box landed, all the students received an item — a custom-made smart watch.
Previously, all the electronic gadgets which the students had been carrying were confiscated, but after taking various factors into account, Huaxiu Alliance had gotten customized smart watches specially made that could be used inside Beast King’s Remains. A signal tower had also been temporarily set up inside the Rainbow Gla.s.s Box and it covered more than half of Beast King’s Remains.
The watch didn’t have a camera function, but it could be used to set up chat groups and discussion groups to make it easier for students from different schools to get to know each other.
Of course, the most important thing was that these watches were also a safeguard.
Each watch contained a “one click for help” app. A soft tap on it was the same as firing a virtual signal flare, and the Rainbow Gla.s.s Box would immediately receive information on the student’s location in the remains.
When w.a.n.g Ling received the watch like everyone else, a chat group had already been set up.
This was the entire group going on this Beast King’s Remains summer camp, with over a thousand members…
Unfortunately, the watch had a smart ID function, so everyone would join the group with their real names. As long as a student put on the watch, they would automatically be added to the group, and the software would automatically change their name after identifying who they were.
As a result, w.a.n.g Ling barely entered the group before the messages directly exploded.
“Oh my G.o.d! w.a.n.g Ling? Which w.a.n.g Ling? It can’t be that recent Fortune Emperor, can it?”
“What?! w.a.n.g Ling’s in the group? Excuse me, Cla.s.smate w.a.n.g Ling, which dorm are you in? Can I go and get your autograph?!”
“Cla.s.smate w.a.n.g Ling, please take a photo with me!”
w.a.n.g Ling: “…”
The upgraded Great s.h.i.+elding Spell screened those people who deliberately asked for information on him, and worked in a similar way in an online environment… However, w.a.n.g Ling never expected that there would actually be so many people paying attention to him after the incident with President Bai!!!
Fortunately, however, the upgraded Great s.h.i.+elding Spell was very clearly in effect.
Although a group of people were asking for information on w.a.n.g Ling, no one could answer them.
Students from the other high schools couldn’t help feeling moved — No. 60 High, was really united!
So many people actually kept their mouths shut and no one was willing to reveal anything about w.a.n.g Ling…
In fact, everyone could understand. After all, they were asking for personal information on a student. No. 60 High might have reminded its students before this that w.a.n.g Ling was still at the center of things, and if this wasn’t kept under control, it would really affect his life.
However, the teachers and students from other high schools never expected No. 60 High as a key city high school candidate to be united to this extent… It wasn’t just the teachers who said nothing, but the students were also unwilling to reveal any information on w.a.n.g Ling.
What kind of spirit of unity was this?
For a moment, a lot of students and teachers from other schools couldn’t help staring at the screen and sighing with feeling.
In the past few months, it was No. 60 High who had been in the news the most in Songhai city. a.s.sa.s.sins had mounted a sneak attack on them, the millennium-old Devil Emperor had upset their military training, and a spirit beast trafficking ring had targeted them in revenge… In the end, No. 60 High had dealt with them one by one.
So, was this the power of unity…
…
In his room, Li Mingyao, who had looked for w.a.n.g Ling and asked the person himself for information on him, was also lost in deep thought for a long while.
There were two people to a dorm, and the person rooming with Li Mingyao was Zhou Youzheng, the third young master of the Zhou family, one of the four big families of Songhai city.
In some sense, Li Mingyao and Zhou Youzheng were birds of a feather. First of all, both of them were the third young master in their families, and they were both studying at Remnant High.
Moreover, there was hardly any difference in their realms and strength, plus they were competing with the other young masters in their families for power.
Therefore, both of them were in great need of “fortune”…
If they wanted to use another method to win their families’ Young Master Succession Ceremony after graduating from high school in addition to cultivating even more vigorously, the best way was still to find someone with very good fortune and become their friend.
Both of them had had their eye on w.a.n.g Ling at the same time after the incident with President Bai, and they had come up with an all-inclusive plan to “lure w.a.n.g Ling” in with their proposal.
The news reports had said that w.a.n.g Ling was only at the middle Foundation Establishment stage, so their enticement plan had been tailored accordingly. Even a late Foundation Establishment cultivator or a Golden Core cultivator wouldn’t have been able to refuse it, let alone a cultivator at the middle Foundation Establishment stage… The benefits and treatment they had offered were several levels higher than what could typically be found on the market.
After seeing how tight-lipped No. 60 High was in the chat group, Zhou Youzheng and Li Mingyao were silent for a long time.
After a while, Li Mingyao spoke first. “I didn’t expect the whole of No. 60 High to be so united… I met a teacher and a student from No. 60 High in the canteen earlier. They clearly know who w.a.n.g Ling is, but they refused to tell me anything.”
“Hm… I wonder if we should be more low-key?” said Zhou Youzheng.
“Low-key? What do you mean?”
“Think about it – doesn’t it seem a little too bombastic to announce that we’re of the four big families off the bat? Instead, people might dislike us for it.”
Zhou Youzheng gave his unhurried a.n.a.lysis. “So I think we should move them sincerely and be quiet about our wealth.”
Li Mingyao: “Brother Zhou’s meaning is…”
“I don’t think we’ve made our position in relation to w.a.n.g Ling very clear. If we want to ask No. 60 High for information on w.a.n.g Ling, we shouldn’t reveal our ident.i.ties as young masters… That’s too high-profile.”
Zhou Youzheng: “So, we might as well just directly say in the group that we’re w.a.n.g Ling’s underlings! Maybe this way, we might be able to directly draw Cla.s.smate w.a.n.g Ling out!”
Li Mingyao: “…”
