129: Shanghai International Princess University
Magic City International Heiress University, an institution embedded in the heart of a bustling metropolis, is like a brilliant pearl, revered by the world as a golden cradle nurturing future world leaders and fearless experts.
Its history is long and deeply rooted, tracing its origins back over three millennia, witnessing the changing and glorious eras.
Even on the global stage, its long history is rarely matched.
Within this university, the education system is like a meticulously carved pyramid, encompassing comprehensive education in the three core areas of etiquette, magic, and swordsmanship.
Etiquette classes are not merely simple instruction in manners; they are an art, a profound knowledge that perfectly integrates inner cultivation with outer expression.
Under the guidance of senior etiquette instructors, students learn how to display the unique grace and demeanor of nobility in various social settings with elegant gestures and appropriate speech, enabling them to lead the way with extraordinary charm on their future leadership paths.
The Magic courses are personally taught by a group of C-Rank Mages with profound backgrounds.
They impart their lifelong learning without reservation, from the philosophical foundations of magic, the Profound Truths of elemental control, to profound Advanced spells, in-depth analysis of magic theory, and precise spellcasting and energy control in practice; every step strives for perfection.
Here, every graduate from the Magic Academy possesses at least D-Rank Mage strength, not only being rich in knowledge but also a strong expert in actual combat, enough to make a name for themselves in the magic world.
As for the Swordsmanship courses, they are even more unique, with the university specially inviting Grandmaster-level figures from the Dragon Kingdom's swordsmanship world to personally guide the instruction.
From the first ray of morning sun falling on the training ground until night falls and the stars shine brightly, students, amidst the intertwining of sword shadows and sweat, progress from rigorous practice of basic sword techniques to flexible application of Advanced combat skills, every step embodying the Grandmaster's painstaking efforts and expectations.
Upon graduation, they not only master the sharpness of the sword but also comprehend the essence of the Sword Dao; their identity as D-Rank Swordsmen is the best proof of their diligent efforts.
The university's hardware facilities are equally astonishing.
In the world's most Advanced magic laboratories, crystal balls shimmering with strange light and glowing rune stones are keys to exploring unknown magic Profound Truths.
The swordsmanship training ground is a steel forest filled with a murderous aura, where every clash of blades is an ultimate enhancement of sword skills.
In the world's most luxurious library, the collection of books is vast, with ancient texts and modern scientific literature coexisting, illuminating the lighthouse of wisdom for seekers of knowledge.
In high-tech classrooms, the combination of virtual reality technology and ancient knowledge makes the learning process both efficient and enjoyable.
This university brings together elites from all over the world, including noble children from prestigious Families and commoner students who stand out with their exceptional talent.
After graduating and leaving the campus, they almost all shine brightly in the magic world, swordsmanship world, and even political and business circles, becoming leaders in various fields and the pride of the nation.
For such a world-class university, even if Han Fei had used the power of the Special Guard Team before, setting up a stall inside would have been extremely difficult, requiring many twists and turns.
But since the military court incident, things have long been different.
Han Fei's status in the Dragon Kingdom has quietly risen to an incredible height.
His right to speak no longer needs much verbal embellishment; a glance, a hint, is enough for countless people to scramble to serve him.
At this moment, he gently slid open his phone, and his contact list prominently displayed no less than fifty contact numbers of the heads of top Families from the Dragon Kingdom.
Behind each name was a powerful force willing to solve problems for him.
Han Fei did not feign modesty in the face of this sudden power.
He casually stated his needs, and what followed was various Families, though pained, still scrambling to offer high-Rank and high-quality treasure chests.
They only wished to establish a connection with this newly prominent figure, hoping to be fortunate enough to become a Cleaner professional.
Among them, there were 23 golden-grade treasure chests, 315 silver-grade treasure chests, and 2731 bronze grade treasure chests.
As for the black iron grade treasure chests, Han Fei only wanted those of Rank three and above, totaling 5002.
Facing this mountain of treasure chests, Han Fei was not in a hurry to open them.
He planned to wait until Luna Fairy Spirit cast another White God Good Luck Magic on him before slowly opening these treasure chests, striving to maximize his benefits.
Han Fei ultimately entrusted the task of setting up the stall to the familiar Xiao Shuai.
Xiao Shuai's attitude now, compared to before, had naturally undergone earth-shattering changes.
In the past, he held respect for Han Fei, but that feeling was more like politeness and courtesy towards an equal friend, with few complimentary words.
Now, Xiao Shuai's reverence for Han Fei is like a devotee's piety towards a deity; any minor matter, as long as it comes from Han Fei's mouth, he will regard as a holy decree, completing it at the fastest speed at all costs, even willing to guarantee it with his reputation and even his life.
"Adult Han, rest assured, I will get it done for you as quickly as possible!" Xiao Shuai's words were filled with determination and loyalty, each word heavy as a thousand pounds.
Han Fei nodded gently, responding briefly, "Hmm, handle it quickly."
Just ten minutes after the call ended, Xiao Shuai's return call rang urgently.
"Adult Han, everything has been arranged, you can come over anytime."
Hearing this, Han Fei couldn't help but show a satisfied smile, "That's quite efficient."
"How dare I be negligent in the slightest with Adult Han's instructions," Xiao Shuai's reply was full of sincerity and awe.
Soon, Han Fei teleported to the majestic and grand main gate of Magic City International Heiress University.
The gate was built of ancient stone, with intricate magic runes carved above it.
Even Super-Tier Magic could not easily penetrate the invisible barrier within the campus, an Advanced magic barrier specifically designed to protect campus safety.
This barrier, like an invisible film, isolated the entire campus from the outside world, ensuring the purity and tranquility of the academic sanctuary.
"Adult Han, according to the regulations of Heiress University, all visitors must follow specific procedures to enter the campus." The Special Guard Team's reception staff spoke with respect, dressed in a crisp black uniform, appearing particularly solemn.
He bowed slightly and continued to explain, "The university will dispatch a high-level administrator to personally greet and accompany you inside, to show their respect for your distinguished status."
Han Fei nodded gently, a flicker of understanding and approval in his eyes.
"Then let's follow their rules."
For him, obeying the rules was merely to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Soon, a woman in an exquisite black and white uniform slowly approached.
Her steps carried confidence and elegance, a unique temperament of Magic City International Heiress University.
This lady, named Bai Yu, smiled, her eyes gleaming with barely concealed excitement.
"Adult Han, it is truly my honor to personally welcome your arrival."
Bai Yu's voice was clear and melodious, each word seeming to contain genuine emotion.
Regarding Han Fei, she had already learned detailed information from her Family.
A B-Rank Expert.
Currently, the most likely child of prophecy.
And the ability to freely dismiss or appoint Cleaner professionals.
Any one of these three points alone would be enough to cause a huge stir in the Dragon Kingdom.
And with these three points concentrated in one person, anyone who isn't a fool can foresee how brilliant this person's future will be, very likely becoming the navigator who leads the Dragon Kingdom into a new era.
Therefore, upon learning the news that Han Fei was about to visit Magic City International Heiress University, the Bai Family, one of the top aristocrats in the Dragon Kingdom, quickly mobilized all its Family resources and connections, just to push Bai Yu in front of Han Fei, hoping to seize this opportune moment to pave an even more solid bridge for the Family's future.
Bai Yu deeply understood the Family's expectations and sacrifices behind this opportunity, and secretly vowed in her heart that no matter what lay ahead, she would seize this rare chance to build a deeper relationship with Han Fei and add bricks to the Bai Family's glory.
"Hello." Han Fei shook Bai Yu's hand indifferently.
"Adult Han, I am Bai Yu, Vice Chairman of Heiress University, and also a Three-Star Gourmet Hunter. During your time at the university, if you have any needs or require assistance, please let me know at any time, and I will do my utmost."
Bai Yu held Han Fei's hand tightly, her words filled with sincerity and enthusiasm.
Han Fei nodded, then checked the time and instructed, "Then don't dawdle, quickly take me into the university."
Soon, a food truck shimmering with noble purple-gold light, like an elegant aristocrat, slowly drove into the territory of Magic City International Heiress University.
The vehicle's body reflected dazzling light in the sun, attracting the gaze of passersby.
Along the way, all obstacles seemed to automatically make way for it, and even the air was filled with a smooth and noble aura.
The moment he stepped into Magic City International Heiress University, Han Fei felt as if he had entered a fantasy world isolated from the mundane, where everything was vastly different from the ivory tower image he had envisioned.
On the campus's tree-lined avenues, Young Misses dressed in luxurious noble attire gathered in groups of three or five; their cheerful conversations did not revolve around discussions of magic Profound Truths or the passion of swordsmanship Cultivation.
Instead, what replaced it was a scene that left him dumbfounded—gambling.
That's right, it was gambling.
Some sat around exquisite gambling tables, intently playing Texas Hold'em, each card flip accompanied by an accelerated heartbeat.
Others gathered in the noisy dice area, each roll of the dice eliciting excited screams, betting on the sum of the numbers, and even more so on theChanging in an instant of fate.
Even more surprisingly, they were not just gambling for excitement, but also for considerable sums of gold coins.
Piles of gleaming coins formed small mountains, silently telling the expensive price of this game.
Han Fei's gaze swept across these scenes, turning to Bai Yu beside him with a puzzled expression, and quietly asked, "What are they doing?"
Bai Yu's lips curled into a mysterious smile as she patiently explained, "Oh, this, well, it's like this: a few years ago, our university acquired an epic miraculous item. As long as one participates in gambling within the Domain of this miraculous item, there's a chance to win all sorts of incredible rewards. From massive amounts of treasure chest coins to rapid advancements in personal Aptitude, and even rare, high-quality miraculous items, all are possible."
Hearing this, a hint of surprise and interest flashed in Han Fei's eyes, "There's such a miraculous item?"
Bai Yu nodded gently, a touch of pride in her tone, "It's just a pity that this miraculous item can only be used for one month each year, so this month becomes the entire university's highly anticipated 'gambling feast,' and our university rules also undergo major changes during this month."
Han Fei nodded, sighing that this world truly had all sorts of wonders.
Bai Yu further revealed that during this special month, Magic City International Heiress University would enter an alternative carnival season.
Academic rigor was temporarily set aside, all regular courses were completely suspended, every inch of space on campus was dedicated to gambling, and all activity rooms in the university would be converted into casinos.
Gambling was no longer just entertainment; it almost became a part of every student's life, a unique campus culture.
The university even went out of its way to formulate a series of reward and punishment systems to encourage students to showcase their wisdom and courage at the gambling tables.
Those who excelled in the gambling games would receive generous rewards and supreme glory.
However, those with inferior gambling skills might face a series of rather humiliating punishments, with some even being reduced to livestock for others' amusement, their status plummeting, dignity shattered, becoming gossip and laughingstocks on campus.
"Becoming livestock, isn't that a bit too much?" Han Fei's brows furrowed with an incredulous expression.
Bai Yu's lips curved into a bitter smile, and she gently shook her head, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes.
"There's no other way; these are the special Laws of that epic miraculous item. If one wishes to receive any favors from it, one must unconditionally adhere to these seemingly harsh rules."
Fortunately, it only lasts for one month, and everything returns to normal after the month ends.
Because of this, most students, after a brief hesitation, still chose to accept this temporary "contract."
After all, compared to the potential opportunities, a month of "sacrifice" didn't seem too heavy.
However, there was always a small portion of people who couldn't overcome the hurdle in their hearts and chose to temporarily leave the campus during this special month, taking a leave of absence to avoid the storm.
However, such a decision undoubtedly meant that they would miss many valuable opportunities to quickly improve themselves and change their destiny, leaving behind irreparable regrets.
While Bai Yu and Han Fei were talking, the food truck slowly arrived at the Sky Garden Cafeteria.
This cafeteria, known as the core of Magic City International Heiress University, was grand in scale, capable of accommodating thousands of people dining simultaneously.
Rows of neatly arranged blue tables and chairs, like surging waves in the ocean, were both fresh and vibrant, adding a lively touch to this hall.
Han Fei drove the food truck directly into the cafeteria without concealment, choosing a spot near the wall with an open view to park.
"Business is open!"
