183: invite

"Wang Chen."

"I'll treat you to lunch today; let's go to the school cafeteria and have a real feast."

Seeing Wang Chen accept the credits, Gao Yuanfeng said enthusiastically.

Hearing his words, Wang Chen nodded with a smile.

The cafeteria.

At Blazing Dragon University, it was the most high-end place, easily surpassing countless restaurants outside.

Gao Yuanfeng preparing to host at the cafeteria showed great sincerity.

"I need to go to my Master's place to collect my rewards later. Once I'm done, I'll contact you, Senior."

After thinking for a moment, Wang Chen said with a smile.

"Alright!"

Hearing this, Gao Yuanfeng nodded, his eyes filled with a bit of envy as he looked at Wang Chen.

To have an Eight-Turn powerhouse as a Master was something they wouldn't even dare to imagine.

"Oh, right!"

"Wang Chen, you are now ranked fortieth on the Prodigy Ranking List and have the qualifications to accept those field missions from the Mission Hall. When you go to collect your rewards, you could ask the Dean for some advice."

Gao Yuanfeng suddenly thought of something and said to Wang Chen, acting all mysterious.

"Hm?"

Hearing his words, Wang Chen was a bit puzzled.

"Senior High, is there something specific about that?"

He asked.

"Of course!"

Gao Yuanfeng nodded and said matter-of-factly:

"There are only fifty people on the Prodigy Ranking List; they are the strongest among the students, so the treatment they receive is naturally different from others."

"Students who enter the Prodigy Ranking List not only have the qualification to accept field missions, but can also form their own squads, register them with the school, and enjoy the school's prioritized allocation of resources."

"Junior, don't underestimate these field missions and squads. By the time we reach our third year, all the resources needed for continued improvement depend on these two things."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Wang Chen immediately became interested.

"Could you explain in more detail, Senior?"

"No problem!"

Gao Yuanfeng immediately began to explain it to Wang Chen.

Soon.

Wang Chen had a detailed understanding of field missions and squads.

So-called field missions meant leaving Blazing Dragon University to perform tasks.

There were many categories of such missions: eliminating wild monsters, searching for magic Materials, guarding certain areas for the school, transporting resources, and so on...

The rewards for every one of these missions were quite generous, enough to make countless professionals green with envy.

But in contrast, the difficulty and restrictions for accepting these missions were also quite high.

At Blazing Dragon University, only students who had entered the Prodigy Ranking List and proven their strength were qualified to accept these missions.

As for squads.

They emerged precisely because of these field missions.

After all, besides different types, missions were also divided into solo and multiplayer.

For high-difficulty multiplayer missions, forming temporary teams was clearly unrealistic, as no one dared to trust their back to temporary teammates.

Therefore, after entering the Prodigy Ranking List, many students registered at the Mission Hall to form their own squads to accept multiplayer missions.

Furthermore, forming a squad involved registering with the school, allowing them to use the Blazing Dragon University banner externally and enjoy the school's protection.

At the same time, every completed mission accumulated corresponding contribution points, which could be used to upgrade the squad's level or exchange for valuable treasures at the school.

Besides that, for high-level squads, when members went to the Myriad Heavens Battlefield in their fourth year, their contribution points could be converted into an equivalent amount of military merit.

If nothing else, just the ability to exchange for military merit was enough to make the students at the school go crazy.

After all, others entering the Myriad Heavens Battlefield could only bitterly start as small soldiers, accumulating military merit little by little to improve their status and strength.

While students with enough contribution points could obtain a certain status right from the start.

"So, being on the Prodigy Ranking List has such benefits?"

After hearing Gao Yuanfeng's introduction, Wang Chen's eyes couldn't help but light up.

He would definitely go to the Myriad Heavens Battlefield; after all, competing against the myriad races and fighting against Geniuses of other races made his blood boil just thinking about it.

In this case, he would need to carefully plan out these field missions and squads.

"With your strength, Wang Chen, if you were to recruit members from the freshmen to form a squad, it would be a complete drag for you."

"I suggest you choose a third-year squad to join."

Seeing Wang Chen deep in thought, Gao Yuanfeng said with a faintly expectant tone.

"Hmm!"

Hearing his words, Wang Chen nodded, then looked over with a half-smile.

"Senior High, do you have any recommendations?"

"Of course!"

Gao Yuanfeng rubbed his hands together a bit embarrassedly upon hearing this.

"I would like to invite you, Junior, to join my squad. Our squad is currently B-rank, and we happen to have one spot left for an official member."

While speaking, Gao Yuanfeng paused, then continued:

"Of course, with your strength, Junior, other squads will also open their doors to you."

"You can think it over carefully. I estimate it won't be long before others come to recruit you."

Hearing this, Wang Chen nodded silently.

Gao Yuanfeng's invitation was within his expectations, and since he had a good impression of Gao Yuanfeng, Chi Xiaoyu, and the others, joining their squad wouldn't be a bad choice.

However...

Now that his Third-Turn was imminent, he planned to make a decision after completing his class advancement.

Thinking this over in his heart, Wang Chen told Gao Yuanfeng his thoughts.

"No problem at all. For now, Junior, you should prioritize improving your strength."

Hearing that Wang Chen didn't directly refuse, the smile on Gao Yuanfeng's face grew even wider.

"Alright, then we'll meet at the cafeteria at noon."

Seeing this, Wang Chen also smiled, then spoke up to bid farewell to Gao Yuanfeng and the others.

...

...

"I'm afraid we've really struck gold this time!"

After Wang Chen's figure disappeared at the doorway, Gao Yuanfeng turned his head and said excitedly.

Wang Chen didn't directly refuse, so in Gao Yuanfeng's view, this matter was already in the bag.

Thinking that his squad might have a Genius with a limitless future, he felt like he was floating on air.

In the future.

He and the others in the squad might very well be engraved in history because of Wang Chen, revered by countless people in the future.

Just like Bai Ziting back in the day, and the legendary squad he joined.

"What's wrong, Captain? Didn't Junior Apprentice-Brother Wang Chen not agree to join our squad yet?"

"Why are you so excited?"

Beside him, Chi Xiaoyu asked, feeling a bit puzzled as she saw the overjoyed expression on Gao Yuanfeng's face.

"What do you know!"

"You only grow muscles, not brains; don't try to probe into such profound matters!"

"Hurry up and go to the cafeteria, book me a table with a Lord-tier transcendent creature set meal. This Captain is going to splurge today."

Patting Chi Xiaoyu on her sturdy chest, Gao Yuanfeng said happily.

Hearing his words, Chi Xiaoyu immediately cast her previous confusion to the back of her mind and walked happily towards the outside of the hall.

Lord-tier transcendent creatures, every single one of them had strength at least equivalent to a Six-Turn.

Food made from such precious ingredients was not only delicious, but for those of them at the Four-Turn, it also had considerable benefits.
