"Really?"
The young lady at the registration desk registered the information, half-believing.
Su Qi nodded.
The friend I mentioned is actually myself, that's not unreasonable, right?
The reason for not going to the Extraordinary Guild to upgrade my level badge is partly because I worry that my rapid increase in power might cause some unnecessary trouble.
Secondly, he understood that going to the wilderness doesn't have strict level requirements.
But what he didn't know was that due to his outstanding appearance, this young lady didn't want such a handsome young man to die needlessly at the hands of fierce beasts.
What a waste, right?
After registering the information, Su Qi received a backpack and a communication device.
The backpack mainly contained some common tools, tents and such.
The communication device was more valuable; in the wilderness, ordinary mobile phones could hardly work, so one could only use this special communication device to contact others.
It could not only locate but also send distress signals, and it stored the latest data on various fierce beasts, recording their attack methods, habits, weaknesses, etc., almost replacing the use of a mobile phone.
Basically, newly registered transcendants could receive such supplies.
This could be considered as a small perk sponsored by the authorities.
Having taken care of everything, Su Qi was about to leave when he suddenly ran into a familiar face.
It was Yan Song, who had some friction with him back at school.
At this moment, Yan Song was returning with a squad and noticed Su Qi as well, so he said to the scar-faced man beside him, "Brother Yang, I've run into an acquaintance, I'm going over to say hello."
Then, he walked straight to Su Qi.
"Su Qi, didn't expect to see you here." Yan Song's tone was somewhat condescending.
Now, Yan Song seemed less naive than before, gaining more harshness. It seemed the wilderness was indeed a training ground for transcendants.
"You wouldn't be here alone, would you? Where are your teammates?"
Su Qi replied indifferently, "Why, it seems the wilderness doesn't dictate that one can't enter alone."
"Ha, you're still so confident." Yan Song sneered.
"As a classmate, let me give you a piece of advice: sometimes, a person must understand themselves. Otherwise, excessive arrogance can be fatal in the wilderness!"
"Thanks."
Seeing Su Qi's unyielding attitude, a barely noticeable touch of anger rose on Yan Song's face: "See my teammates? They're all experts at Control Level, and there's even someone you can't imagine the strength of."
"Xu Zisheng Bro assembled these club members. Not only did he manage to establish a transcendent's club right after graduating, but he also received a significant investment of the family's All Heavens Reflecting True Crystal and various resources, currently in secluded training to break through to Control Level."
"Some people have a much higher starting point than ours from birth, so I'd advise you to be sensible."
"So what?" Su Qi couldn't be bothered to argue with such a person: "Do you want to offer my congratulations?"
After speaking.
He turned and left directly.
Not worth a conversation.
Su Qi could clearly sense the malice this classmate harbored toward him, yet he didn't understand where this animosity stemmed from.
Logically, both came from ordinary families.
While they couldn't be best friends, there was no need for such deep-seated resentment.
If it was merely jealousy over his good grades in school, that wouldn't make sense either. After all, there were many students whose grades surpassed Yan Song's.
Yan Song stood still, intently watching Su Qi's departing figure.
His eyes seemed to breed an unknown anger crazily.
Why can you always be so composed!
Even after awakening with a trash route, still so composed!
Are you mocking me!?
Mocking me as a sycophant, climbing up to the powerful!
But what choice do I have!
I don't want to either!
But my family dictated that I can only do this to reach a higher level!
At that moment, Yan Song's teammates came over, the scar-faced leader patted him on the shoulder, glancing at Su Qi's retreating figure.
"What, you have a grudge against that person?"
"What's his strength."
Yan Song adjusted his expression, smiling again, "Just a classmate, no grudges. It's just Young Master Xu at school doesn't like that guy, just a clown at Awakening Level One."
The scar-faced man understood, hugging Yan Song's shoulders tightly: "Haha, I thought he was someone important, Awakening Level One, isn't entering the wilderness seeking death."
"Don't worry, I, Yang Bo, have plenty of friends in the wilderness. I'll contact them later to properly 'look after' your classmate."
As members of the same club squad, the scar-faced man noticed that Young Master Xu always treated Yan Song as a trusted aide.
Therefore.
Doing someone a favor, why not?
Besides, dealing with a small Awakening Level character is easier than crushing an ant.
"Come on, this time's wilderness harvest was quite good, I'll take you to relax, absolutely a top-notch enjoyment you haven't seen before!"
...
On the other side.
Su Qi didn't put Yan Song in mind.
For those with some mental issues, just stay away.
If this person insists on colliding, he won't consider classmates' friendships.
Conflicts between transcendants and ordinary people might be somewhat moderated due to transcendent laws.
But when transcendants clash with each other, most are extremely brutal.
After wandering around, Su Qi arrived at the side hall of the War Fortress, greeted by a huge screen and a crowd of transcendants.
Many extraordinary squads, just before entering the wilderness, would come here to gather information.
Because, the giant screen updated the map of a thousand kilometers deep into the wilderness in real time.
Though the communication device would update with maps of beast distribution in the wilderness, it was far less detailed than this giant screen.
Su Qi's mind became extremely active immediately, constructing lines in his brain continuously.
If someone knew he planned to imprint the entire map into his mind, they'd surely mock him for attempting a futile task.
Normally, people only needed to get a rough understanding of beast distribution and terrain distribution.
After entering the wilderness, compare it with the simplified map on the communicator, and it'd be done.
Besides, to remember such vast and complex information, how much brain capacity would it take!
But Su Qi could do it.
His top scores across ten subjects weren't solely dependent on effort.
Couple that with frequent uses of the God's Favored One state, pushing his spiritual power into an incredible level.
The reason he did this.
Was due to what the instructor once said to students when leading them into the wilderness, "In the wilderness, aside from trusting oneself, nothing is reliable."
"Especially some so-called high-tech equipment."
"If they truly worked, considering humanity has gathered various technological advancements in history, how could large activity areas be lost!"
When Su Qi memorized the map well enough.
A mechanical voice broadcast suddenly sounded: "Warning warning!"
"Near Latitude 35°46'78", Longitude 139°69'53", an Eighteen-level Commander Level fierce beast - Eight-headed Turtle has appeared. Transcendants heading to that area, please be cautious!"
In just a few seconds.
The crowd in the side hall instantly went silent.
Then, explosive cheers erupted.
Each transcendant's eyes were flushed red, breathing heavily.
Like starving wolves not having seen a beauty in years and years!
