Chapter 122: The Return Journey

After settling Liu Xinyao in, Xiao Fen decisively refused the invitations from the other girls for him to stay a while longer and strode out of this group of stand-alone villas.

In this environment with a separate swimming pool, lawn, garden, and all kinds of beautiful women in swimsuits, Xiao Fen felt somewhat suppressed.

At a time like this, he began to miss the time in the Trial World a little. That kind of environment where life hung by a thread and one was ready for life-and-death choices at any time seemed more suitable for him, rather than being unable to extricate himself from drowning in such an environment.

Walking out of this dormitory area, in another direction was the boys’ dormitory area. The boys inside all looked handsome, and their bodies were strong. Their faces looked somewhat arrogant.

One look and you could tell they were the kind of people who thought they were the greatest in the world. Some individuals even walked recklessly. On the surface, there was not much difference from a normal university, except that the rows of stand-alone villas behind these people showed the difference between this place and a normal university.

However, after seeing the black “starter” bag in Xiao Fen’s hand, these people did not even need Xiao Fen to reveal his identity, and they all took the initiative to move aside. They could be described as extremely respectful to Xiao Fen.

Soon, an electric car caught up. Xiao Fen got on this empty car. None of the boys from the Outer Court followed him on. Xiao Fen scanned the surrounding environment, flashed the bag in his hand, and said in a low voice, “Go to register.”

The driver did not speak. The vehicle quickly drove towards the back of the manor. Xiao Fen clearly remembered that there was a large mountain there, with no traces of any artificial buildings.

The vehicle soon arrived at the foot of the mountain. There, a gate hidden as a giant rock was slowly opening. The driver stopped the vehicle and said, “Sir, the rest of the road requires you to go over by yourself. Outer Court personnel are not allowed to enter.”

Xiao Fen nodded, walked briskly off the electric car, and strode towards the gate guard behind the gate.

After checking Xiao Fen’s documents, the guard behind the gate asked Xiao Fen to press his fingerprint. After a few seconds, a beeping sound came. The guard looked at the green light, nodded, signaled Xiao Fen to go to elevator number 12, and indicated that it led to where he should go.

As the giant stone gate outside closed again, Xiao Fen took another look at the surrounding environment.

Behind the gate was a huge stone hollow, about 500 square meters, and about 4 stories high. On the walls of this hollowed-out cave, there were dots of light everywhere, making the entire hollow bright, but not glaring.

Xiao Fen keenly observed that most of these dotted light sources were cold lights, and they were not standard circles. They were either triangular or square. They were basically acute angles with no arcs. It looked like it was done intentionally.

Besides the guards, there were temporarily no other Trialists in this hall. It seemed that this might not be the only passage for Trialists, or perhaps the Trialists were busy with various Trial Worlds and thus did not appear in the Real World very often.

Xiao Fen quickly found elevator number 12 from a row of elevator shafts. The elevator door was open at this moment, as if it had long been prepared for his arrival.

Walking into the elevator, Xiao Fen discovered that there were no buttons in this elevator, and it could accommodate at most 3 people standing inside. It seemed very narrow. As soon as he entered the elevator, before he could even stand firm, the elevator door closed rapidly. Then Xiao Fen felt his body become light, and a huge sense of weightlessness suddenly struck.

This sense of weightlessness was completely different from the sinking feeling he had in the hotel’s underground library before. The sinking speed here was faster, and the sinking time was longer, so much so that Xiao Fen vaguely mistakenly thought he was standing in a weightless laboratory. His feet did not fully touch the bottom of the elevator for at least 10 seconds.

When he was in school, Xiao Fen knew that a certain northern country had this kind of weightlessness experience. A large transport plane flew into the sky and then dived towards the ground, which could bring about thirty seconds of complete weightlessness to the people in the cabin.

And now, Xiao Fen felt that he had experienced at least one-third of it, and didn’t spend a penny.

After nearly a minute of rapid diving, this fighter jet among elevators finally began to decelerate. However, this deceleration process was so rapid that before Xiao Fen could fully react, the entire elevator had already stopped steadily. The force rising from under his feet numbed Xiao Fen’s feet.

It had to be admitted that if it were an ordinary person, they probably could not enjoy this kind of elevator experience. At the moment the elevator landed completely, the huge force would make an ordinary person experience the taste of jumping from the 4th or 5th floor. Even if they didn’t die, they would be seriously injured.

It should be said that this was a good natural screening mechanism. Those who survived were Awakened, and those who didn’t were Mortal World.

Xiao Fen rubbed his nose. Before his eyes, the elevator door suddenly opened. Strong light made Xiao Fen unable to open his eyes for a moment. He walked out groping, only to discover that in front of him was not a bustling street, but a huge office. In this office, three people whose faces could not be seen clearly were sitting side by side. At this moment, these three people were all looking at Xiao Fen.

“Xiao Fen?”

Someone asked vaguely.

“Yes.”

“Welcome to the Awakened Asia Base. We are your verification officers. Before you officially enter this base, we need to verify a few questions.”

“Okay.”

“You are now level 1. What ability do you determine to activate? We need to assign classes according to your ability.”

“Poison making, no, biological poison making ability.”

“Before this, have you contacted a mission above A-level?”

“Only A-level, not above A-level.”

“The assessment of basic knowledge will be conducted the day before you officially enter this School. Before that, you can use some of the resources of this base to a limited extent. Only when you officially become a student will you be given more permissions.”

“Okay.”

“Then, what do you need? A single apartment, or a shared villa with other Trialists, or resting in the room prepared for you by Yggdrasil?”

“Single apartment.”

Such questions and answers went on for about 3 minutes. Xiao Fen made some selective choices according to Du Juan’s previous requirements.

As all the questions ended, a Trialist took Xiao Fen to the single apartment he requested.

This was a small room of about 40 square meters. Furniture was available in all varieties, and there were even cooking utensils. However, Xiao Fen had no interest in this. He came here just to return to Fuyuan City at the next moment. He had no interest in things like making the bed.

He looked at his mobile phone. It was already 6 p.m. Xiao Fen watched the phone. At 6:15, the phone rang. Xiao Fen picked up the phone. It was a call from Liu Xinyao. On the other end of the phone, Liu Xinyao said nervously, “Xiao Fen, my family just called me. They said my dad has some health issues and asked if I could go back. I asked the administrator here, and he said a student from the Inner Court needs to guarantee it.”

Xiao Fen nodded and said, “Okay, I will guarantee it for you. I just happen to need to go home too.”
