119: Four major departments

Soon, it was noon the next day.

At this time, Lin Shu had already embarked on his journey to Central State University.

Gu Li and Lin Shu sat steadily on the broad and comfortable back of the White Feather Spirit Falcon.

They passed through layers of clouds, amidst the whistling winds.

They would arrive by this evening.

The outside was boisterous, but it did not affect the two people above in the slightest.

An invisible barrier separated and surrounded this area.

At this moment, Lin Shu informed his mentor of the name of the trainer recommended by the principal.

The latter sat up from his reclining position, his expression somewhat surprised.

He hadn't expected Pei Yuanfang to actually know a Central State University mentor.

“I've heard of her, not well acquainted, but I do know a bit about her.”

“Her training methods are very strong; she is one of the top existences in the Training Department.”

“Originally, I had also prepared a trainer for you, but now it seems unnecessary.”

Such words were normal, as they belonged to the same university, so they would generally have some contact.

Immediately, Gu Li began to discuss some information about the university's content.

“Central State University is divided into four departments.”

“Namely, the Combat Department, the Training Department, the Archaeology Department, and the Research Department.”

“And you, like me, belong to the Combat Department.”

Lin Shu listened very carefully; it was only today that he truly stepped through the main gate.

Then he briefly explained about the Archaeology Department and the Research Department.

First, the Archaeology Department is a group of people who study the culture of Otherworld Beastmasters and some ancient traces on Blue Star.

However, their main focus is on delving into Otherworld history and some of their legendary content.

The Research Department, on the other hand, requires Talent in other areas; this is a group of professionals who explore how to promote the evolution of Beastmasters, in addition to understanding and researching the habits of Beastmasters.

Recording, creating, and improving evolutionary content is a demanding and hair-raising path; without exceptional Talent, this road is very difficult to traverse.

Of course, as long as one's Talent is astonishing and they can research several evolutionary pathways, wealth will pour in.

The Combat Department, where they are, is the most straightforward and direct: it's a place for cultivating Beastmaster combat skills and honing their fighting strength.

“I generally understand.”

Lin Shu nodded; the Combat Department was good.

With the help of his system panel, the other three departments wouldn't be of much help to him.

However, if he were too short on money, he could release a common evolutionary pathway.

“Hmm, there's nothing else.”

“You'll naturally know when the time comes.”

Gu Li looked unconcerned; attending university wasn't that complicated.

The primary element for students was definitely to improve their Beastmaster's level and Mental strength.

A huge dark shadow swept across the sky, and at this moment, Central State University was getting closer and closer... Suddenly, a film as large as the sky appeared before their eyes.

Golden light flashed above it, seemingly possessing powerful energy.

It covered a vast area, spanning several thousand meters.

The White Feather Spirit Falcon's speed did not decrease, and it quickly rushed in, plunging headfirst.

Immediately, a moment of darkness enveloped their hearts, and in the blink of an eye, they passed through the film.

What greeted their eyes was an endless expanse of dense forest.

Thick tree trunks, like the backbone of the earth, supported lush branches and leaves, forming a canopy of green that blotted out the sky.

In the distance, a cluster of buildings could be vaguely seen, with various architectural styles, some ancient and elegant, others modern and fashionable.

At the edge of the sky, mountain ranges stretched continuously, like a giant dragon winding and circling on the earth, with peaks soaring into the clouds, their tops shrouded in mist.

The moment he entered this world, Lin Shu's spirit was invigorated, and he felt the surging energy, far exceeding that of Blue Star, permeating the area.

“This is the Cangmu Spiritual Realm, a medium-sized Otherworld.”

“The internal space is vast and rich in resources, and there are even several Otherworld factions distributed within it.”

“They are most adept at sneak attacks and are the most dangerous group in this region, apart from high-level Beastmasters, making them impossible to guard against.”

“There are many high-level Beastmasters, and danger abounds; these are all things you need to pay attention to.”

Gu Li's voice appeared leisurely, beginning to give instructions; at this moment, they were getting closer and closer to the university.

“I understand, Mentor.”

Otherworld factions?

Lin Shu's eyes flickered; future battles would no longer be like the minor skirmishes in Bin Province.

Here, it was truly a fight to the death, relentless.

Those who are not of our kind must have different hearts.

He had already prepared himself for these things.

Lin Shu looked at the increasingly clear and distinct cluster of buildings in the distance, beginning to look forward to the days ahead.

Gu Li looked at the radiant Lin Shu, who showed no sign of timidity, but rather a hint of anticipation in his eyes?

This is truly good; he adapts well to this environment.

The White Feather Spirit Falcon's speed began to slow, and its altitude gradually decreased.

Soon, a magnificent and grand ancient-style city gate tower clearly appeared in their field of vision.

The massive city walls, a hundred meters high, were all built of bluestone, and a wide and straight stone road led directly into the city.

Buildings within the city were dense and tall.

The city gate tower stood majestically, with a huge plaque above it.

The four large characters “Central State University” were clearly visible, like brilliant stars.

Rather than a university, this place was more like a pass.

In the early days of the Otherworld's arrival, this was one of the battlefields between Great Xia and the Otherworld factions.

As Great Xia emerged victorious, this majestic city gate tower became part of Central State University.

Stepping onto the hard road, Gu Li put away the White Feather Spirit Falcon and walked inside with Lin Shu.

The enormous city gate tower had no defensive measures whatsoever, and as for things like gatekeepers, there were none.

On both sides of the spacious and bright street, many students had set up small stalls, selling goods.

There were carcasses of large Beastmasters, as well as various exquisite ores and spiritual objects.

Some stalls even displayed Beastmaster eggs of different sizes and patterns.

Evidently, these were all items students had obtained from their adventures outside.

Several small signs stood above them, indicating prices.

Lin Shu casually glanced at them and found that all transaction currencies were academic credits; clearly, academic credits were the hard currency within.

The price of ordinary fifth-grade spiritual objects was around 5 academic credits, which was enough to show the purchasing power of academic credits.

Gu Li did not look sideways; he had clearly seen such scenes many times before.

He casually commented a few words.

“This is a specialized sales area for Beastmaster materials, for student use.”

“It's a mixed bag of good and bad; the advantage is that the prices are cheap, but the quality cannot be guaranteed.”

“Of course, there's also the possibility of finding bargains; the school has specialized resource points internally, which are the main purchasing channels.”

Lin Shu understood; he could come here more often in the future to look at Beastmaster eggs, perhaps he could pick up some bargains, and he continued to follow his mentor's footsteps.

About ten minutes later, they arrived at a four-story modern villa, surrounded by similar buildings.

Gu Li handed a set of keys to Lin Shu.

“You are a top special recruit; I applied to the school for this residence for you.”

“There's nothing to do today; remember to download a school app, which can also help you understand and integrate into the university faster.”

“As for academic credits, they should be approved by tomorrow.”

Looking at the villa, which was much wider than ordinary buildings.

It was probably designed with the size of high-level Beastmasters in mind.

It was quite thoughtful.

“Thank you, Mentor.”

Taking the keys, Lin Shu responded.

Gu Li's expression remained unchanged as he pointed to a villa in the distance.

“That's my residence.”

“If you have any questions and don't get a reply on your phone, just come and find me.”
