30: The social animal of the Investigation Department! Heading to Qingfeng City!

Upon hearing this, both Liu Boyan and Zhou Wei were instantly stunned.

A student, being awarded a medal?

The two words were easy to understand separately, but put together, they seemed unbelievable.

Zhou Wei hastily asked, "Say that again?"

The messenger Teacher timidly replied, "Regimental Commander Chang said that Teacher Liu's student was awarded a bronze medal."

"He also said to put it on the campus headlines..."

"Who is that student?" Zhou Wei urgently pressed.

In his heart, an answer was vaguely forming, but he didn't want to admit it.

The Teacher said, "It's Ye Ze..."

As if with a boom, Vice Principal Zhou Wei's mind seemed to crash.

At this moment, the burly Regimental Commander Chang Zhengping burst in, radiant with joy:

"Old Liu, you've introduced me to a true talent!"

Behind Regimental Commander Chang Zhengping, a yawning Ye Ze followed.

Liu Boyan's expression was exaggerated, as he strangely looked at his old comrade, Regimental Commander Chang Zhengping:

"What happened? What medal?"

I just asked you to look after Ye Ze, who told you to award him a medal???

Could it get any more outrageous?

Regimental Commander Chang Zhengping looked at Liu Boyan's expression and burst into laughter, as if he had long anticipated his shocked reaction.

He waved at Ye Ze and said, "Hahaha, come, show your Teacher!"

Ye Ze took out the bronze medal from his pocket and placed it in front of Liu Boyan.

Seeing this, Vice Principal Zhou Wei rushed over, also staring intently at the medal.

"bronze medal... awarded by the Scout Camp..."

"Awarded to Ye Ze for his outstanding contribution to the development of the 19th Contaminated Land?"

Liu Boyan held the medal, looking at the description on it, his heart changing from confusion to uncontrollable excitement.

It was really a bronze medal awarded by the Demon Suppression Army!

In the entire Lin Yuan City, with a population of hundreds of thousands, there were no more than 20 people who possessed a bronze medal!

Moreover, most of them were veterans of the Demon Suppression Army...

Now, a high school student was actually awarded a bronze medal?

Regimental Commander Chang Zhengping patted Liu Boyan's shoulder and said, "Old Liu, don't be too excited? Don't you have one too!"

Liu Boyan calmed himself down and shook his head slightly.

His bronze medal was awarded to him only when he was about to retire.

Compared to Ye Ze's bronze medal, which was awarded to him in his third year of high school, the meaning was completely different!

Even if Ye Ze's college entrance examination results were average, just with this medal, he could enjoy the treatment of being in the top 100 of the college entrance examination!

At least he had a fallback!

Liu Boyan let out a long sigh, preparing to say something...

But then he noticed that Ye Ze was sitting on the stool, dozing off, completely unconcerned about the medal.

...This kid.

On the other hand, Vice Principal Zhou Wei was completely stunned, his face drained of color.

He had just been preparing to cancel Ye Ze's opportunity to enter the team dungeon?

Canceling the original benefits of a student who had contributed to fighting the Abyss and possessed a bronze medal?

What was the difference between this and forcibly demolishing a military family compound?

But Zhou Wei's face quickly broke into a wide smile in just a moment, praising:

"I knew that a student who could clear a hell-difficulty dungeon would definitely be extraordinary in the future!"

"You know, I'm the most supportive of students going to the Pollution Land for practical combat!"

Liu Boyan snorted coldly.

Regimental Commander Chang Zhengping frowned upon seeing this and asked, "Who are you?"

Zhou Wei's smile instantly froze.

Liu Boyan said unceremoniously, "Vice Principal Zhou, you'd better hurry up and manage your Elite Class."

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Zhou Wei's face became extremely awkward, and he had to slink away.

Subsequently.

Liu Boyan put the bronze medal back into Ye Ze's pocket and immediately called out to him:

"Wake up first, you can sleep on the high-speed rail."

Ye Ze wasn't actually asleep, just resting with his eyes closed. Hearing this, he looked puzzled:

"High-speed rail? I don't need to take a high-speed rail to go home, do I?"

Liu Boyan looked helpless, "To Qingfeng City! You haven't forgotten about the super-large team dungeon, have you?"

"Isn't that tomorrow?" Ye Ze was surprised.

"It's almost midnight now, and we're in Lin Yuan City! It takes 5 hours by high-speed rail!"

Holy crap!

Since he had never been to other cities, Ye Ze almost forgot.

Lin Yuan City was the most remote city in the East China Region.

As a result, students from Lin Yuan City usually took the train in the early morning when going to other cities for assessments or dungeons.

Regimental Commander Chang Zhengping said indifferently, "It's fine, if he wants to sleep, let my nephew Ye Ze sleep more. I'll personally send him over then!"

Nephew? ...Liu Boyan looked at him suspiciously.

However, he agreed, "That's fine."

Ye Ze immediately waved his hand, "No need, I'll go with you all."

On the way that Regimental Commander Chang brought him over, he mentioned the virtues of the East China Army and the North-Chasing Regiment almost every three sentences.

He was almost immune to it now.

He couldn't imagine being sent by Regimental Commander Chang all the way again.

Ye Ze casually asked, "Teacher, aren't you going to Qingfeng City?"

Liu Boyan sighed deeply and pointed to the pile of documents on his desk:

"Strange phenomena have appeared in the No. 17 Contamination Zone. The section chief has taken people there for on-site exploration, and now I have to do all their work..."

"I'm practically a corporate slave for the Investigation Department..."

Ye Ze mumbled a complaint, then quickly slipped away to the Lin Yuan City high-speed rail station.

...

Ye Ze's body now transformed into a mass of dark shadow, traversing Lin Yuan City.

To speed up his travel, he directly copied the Squirrel's 'Shadow Evasion' skill.

The feeling of Shadow Evasion was somewhat similar to swimming, yet also like floating in the air, but no one would notice.

"I didn't expect to be going to the Mantis's hometown."

"However, his memories of this hometown probably aren't very good..."

Qingfeng City was the city where the Extreme Blade Mantis was captured.

It was also the only level 10 super-large team dungeon location in the East China Region.

And the Scarlet Plains where the Extreme Blade Mantis was born was also located about a hundred miles outside Qingfeng City.

However, with the Mantis currently in a state of evading into the void, it clearly had no feelings for this 'hometown' anymore.

The high-speed rail station, reached.

In this world, with the existence of technology-based professions like 'Mechanic', transportation was very developed.

However, developed transportation also required more energy and incurred more various expenses.

And high-speed rail was economical and affordable.

Moreover, the college would book two trains for the students, so they didn't have to pay themselves!

Upon boarding the high-speed rail platform, one could see that they were all ordinary class students from the third year of high school at the War College.

As for the Elite Class, they naturally had their unique travel methods, and they didn't even participate in team dungeons with the ordinary classes.

As soon as he entered the carriage, someone exclaimed.

"Holy crap! Ye Ze!"

"It's really him. I didn't see him all day today, I thought something had happened to him!"

"I thought Zhao Xuan lost money and found someone to retaliate against him..."

Ye Ze, with his record of being the first to clear a hell-difficulty dungeon, was still quite legendary in the eyes of the students.

However, after a day of 'cooling off' today, everyone was clearly much more rational.

If it had been yesterday, there would have been quite a few people rushing up for autographs.

Ye Ze scanned the area. Most students were around level 3, and level 4 was already considered excellent among the ordinary classes.

His gaze finally settled on a level 24 female student.

Teacher Xia Qing, 22 years old, an intern Teacher in Ordinary Class 3, and one of the Teachers leading the team this time.

Compared to the high school girls in the car, her well-developed figure was particularly graceful, her appearance gentle and lovely, and she was wearing a light green dress.

Ye Ze walked over, and Teacher Xia Qing also saw him, waving in greeting.

"Teacher Xia, where do I sit? Somewhere I can rest quietly would be best..."

As he spoke, Ye Ze showed a harmless smile.

Teacher Xia Qing was startled. After looking around for a moment, she glanced at Ye Ze's handsome and refined face and couldn't help but say:

"Then... you can sit here with me."

This high-speed rail was divided into multiple compartments, accommodating 4 to 6 people, allowing for self-organized seating groups.

Ye Ze didn't have any close friends to form a group with and just wanted to rest all the way...

So, the least likely place to be disturbed was definitely the Teacher's seat.

Ye Ze was satisfied, "Thank you, Teacher Xia!"

Seeing Ye Ze enter Teacher Xia Qing's compartment, many male students began to feel envy and jealousy.

Teacher Xia Qing was a college student who was about to graduate, a delicate and charming beauty with a gentle voice and a lovely appearance.

She was extremely popular among the male students who were just experiencing their first crushes.

Seeing Ye Ze enter a place that was desirable yet out of reach for them, they couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

In a nearby compartment, two boys and two girls were discussing, and the topic was still Ye Ze:

"You guys, how strong do you think Ye Ze is now, considering he could solo a hell-difficulty dungeon yesterday!"

"Give it a rest! He didn't even enter a dungeon today, maybe he's already given up!"

The speaker was a slender male student wearing assassin's soft armor, level 4. He had clearly been grinding dungeons all day and was quite confident.

Sitting opposite him, a female Priest disagreed:

"Ye Ze was the first to clear the hell-difficulty, I don't think anyone in the entire East China high school is stronger than him!"

"Who said that! Someone is much stronger than him!"

The level 4 slender male student immediately retorted upon hearing this:

"My uncle told me that someone appeared in the Scout Camp today, and that person is truly strong!"

"Right there in the 19th Contaminated Land, they could easily instantly kill even level 15 Demon Elite..."
