The warrior of Big Cat Senior, the Flying Car, is quite impressive, with its sleek black design and powerful horsepower, while the price is also very expensive.
Lin curiously looked at the features inside the car, many of which he didn't know the purpose of, touching this button and examining that lever.
"Don't mess around; that button is for switching to Armed mode. Activating Armed mode recklessly in a busy area will get you a fine!"
Upon hearing Big Cat Senior's warning, Lin immediately became obedient. He awkwardly grinned and asked, "Senior, this car looks quite pricey."
"Over seven million Star Coins; it's considered cheap!"
Wow, over seven million is still considered cheap. It seems Big Cat Senior is quite wealthy. Lin thought he was earning a lot, but compared to a true warrior, it was just a drop in the bucket.
"Star Coins are just a number for us warriors. Once your strength is sufficient and you can participate in academy missions or Adventure Groups, earning Star Coins will be easy!"
Lin nodded, thinking to himself that he needed to improve his strength quickly. Now that he was at the academy, he had time to enhance his abilities rapidly.
"By the way, where did Teacher Bai go? I haven't seen him."
Dream Source asked this question, which was exactly what Lin wanted to know. Ever since they disembarked from the Mother Ship, no one had seen the bearded Bai Quexin.
"Teacher Bai..."
Big Cat Senior frowned slightly. It was Snow Dance Senior who sighed and said, "Teacher Bai was called away by the council. The incident with Cloud Star was too severe; Teacher Bai is likely to face serious punishment... Afterward, Teacher Bai will also need treatment. We probably won't see him for a long time."
The news wasn't something Lin couldn't accept; he just lowered his head, feeling somewhat downcast. This outcome was within his expectations.
For a moment, everyone fell silent; no one spoke as the oppressive atmosphere spread inside the car.
The Flying Car flew slowly over the densely packed port area and arrived at the central passage. It gradually descended into the light blue teleportation track, and only when they landed did they truly arrive at Wuyuan Star.
After traveling along the central route for a while, the Flying Car came to a stop at the Fourth Academy.
Lin and Mengyuan got out of the car and said goodbye to their senior. Turning back one last time, Lin finally looked up at the academy where he would be living for the next four years.
Before him stood a towering steel gate wall, over ten meters high, exuding a sense of science fiction. Light blue pipes flickered, and blue lights formed a gate that could transition between the tangible and the intangible.
On the left wall, there were large golden characters embedded that read "Wuyuan Star Fourth Academy," omitting the word "affiliated," likely because it sounded unappealing. The principal had put some thought into this and chose not to include it.
Although the academy did not have a great reputation, just looking at this entrance, anyone unaware would surely be impressed, thinking it was some prestigious university.
"I hope it doesn't disappoint me too much..."
Muttering to himself, Lin began walking into the academy but then thought better of it: he didn't know his way around and should probably ask someone for directions first.
Looking around, Lin spotted a group of people at the entrance of the academy. They were sitting by stalls filled with various items that resembled a marketplace.
Lin quickly approached with Dream Source in tow, remaining silent as he walked past a couple of stalls. He soon realized that this was a trading market organized by students, selling everything from weapons to elixirs, though most items were quite ordinary and not to Lin's taste.
After browsing several stalls, Lin noticed one that piqued his interest. It was quite simple, featuring only a chair with a rather handsome young man sitting on it. He appeared somewhat thin and was dozing off with his eyes half-closed.
In front of him was a sign that read "A Word Worth a Thousand Gold Coins - All-Knowing."
What an audacious claim! Lin felt curious and took two steps closer to the stall, asking, "Excuse me, senior, what do you sell here?"
The thin young man lazily opened his eyes, yawned, and looked Lin up and down with some impatience. However, when he spotted Dream Source, his eyes suddenly lit up. He perked up immediately, shaking off his earlier lethargy.
"Are you two new students?"
Sheng did not answer Lin's question but instead looked at Dream Source with great interest.
Lin frowned slightly but sighed inwardly. It was inevitable that Dream Source would attract attention wherever she went; he could only nod in acknowledgment.
This seemed to energize Sheng even more. His eyes not only sparkled with admiration for the beauty before him but also gleamed with a greedy light, the kind that a businessman has for wealth.
"Ahem, junior students, you should take a good look at my reputation. I am the information king of the Four Major Academies, all-knowing, Wu Ming!"
After all, he was just someone selling information, similar to those who sold news in the Adventure Group.
Lin nodded, feeling quite pleased. It seemed he had found someone who understood their situation, so he asked, "Senior Wu Ming, could you tell us where the registration office for the Fourth Academy is?"
"The Fourth Academy? Are you students of the Fourth Academy?"
"Exactly. My name is Lin, and this is my girlfriend, Dream Source. We are both new students at the Fourth Academy here to report."
Wu Ming glanced at Lin and then at Dream Source, muttering to himself, "I don't know where these big fools came from; they let our academy trick them again..."
"What did you say, Senior?" Lin naturally did not catch what Wu Ming had said and could only ask.
"Nothing, nothing. Since you are students of the Fourth Academy, you are my direct juniors. I’ll give you a special offer: give me 10,000 Star Coins, and I will handle your registration completely for you, along with some useful information for new students."
Wu Ming casually mentioned this and then sat down, his eyelids drooping. Ten thousand Star Coins was a significant amount for new students; he didn't expect Lin to agree but just wanted to avoid further interruptions from these "big fools" while he conducted his business.
"Alright, Senior. This must be your payment barcode; I'll transfer it to you..."
Ten thousand Star Coins was nothing to Lin; he immediately transferred the amount to Wu Ming.
Upon seeing the money, Wu Ming immediately perked up, his face beaming with joy and a cunning glint in his eyes as he looked at Lin, much like a big bad wolf eyeing a plump sheep.
"There's money! Lin, come on, let me take you to sign up!"
With the motivation of money and a "big patron," Wu Ming was very enthusiastic. He quickly packed up his stall and led Lin and Mengyuan toward the school.
Wu Ming was quite talkative, chatting with Lin and Mengyuan along the way, sharing a lot of information about the Fourth Academy. Most notably, he talked about the Fourth Academy's "Dark History."
Lin listened with delight, treating it like a story. After walking for a while, the three of them boarded a campus glider to reach the registration office.
"Lin, Dream Source, you two need to think carefully. I've given you all the necessary information. Once you sign up, it will be difficult to change your academy."
Perhaps Wu Ming felt that Lin was "adorably foolish," so he reminded him before parting ways.
"Don't worry, Senior Wu Ming. We know what we're doing."
Lin smiled and waved goodbye to Wu Ming.
"Is that so... Since I can't persuade you here, let me offer you a deal. I'll sell you my self-written 'Freshman Survival Guide' for ten thousand Star Coins. I usually sell it for twenty thousand, so I'm giving you a fifty percent discount!"
Smacking his lips, Lin knew this was a scam but laughed and transferred the money to Wu Ming while leaving his contact information.
People like Wu Ming, who sell information, would be useful in the future. It was better to spend some money to make a friend; if any issues arose later on, it would be easier to buy information from him.
