Chapter 216: Winter Vacation Training, Heading to the Southern Region

Snowy Orphanage.

Boom!

A purple thunderbolt descended from the sky, landing on Bai Xiaoyu and Lie. The man and the dog suddenly turned black, spewing black smoke and fell to the ground.

"Brother Xiaoyu is so weak that he can't even withstand a big cat!"

A group of little guys gathered around Zixiaobao and laughed at Bai Xiaoyu mercilessly.

"Damn it, let's do it again!"

Perhaps stimulated, Bai Xiaoyu jumped up from the ground with a carp jump, wiped off the black ash on his face, and challenged Zixiaobao again.

Awooo~

In response, Zixiaobao had no intention of responding. He yawned and lay on the ground to bask in the sun.

Although these little guys were annoying, and many of them simply treated him as a large doll, this leisurely life was really comfortable...

At least it was much more comfortable than when he followed that bastard.

"Okay, if you keep fighting, the patrol will come."

Seeing Bai Xiaoyu's appearance of asking for a beating, Jiang Chen had no choice but to stop him.

Although Zixiaobao's certificate was obtained and he could enter and exit the city freely, he was still not allowed to use his power without reason except in legal fighting areas such as gyms.

It's okay to practice occasionally, but if he uses it too frequently, it will inevitably cause more trouble.

"Damn it, I will definitely win!"

Bai Xiaoyu waved his fist with an unhappy face. Although Zixiaobao obviously controlled his power, he was still killed instantly.

Although there is an absolute difference in strength between them, after hearing that Fa Cai killed the Golden Evil Spirit and almost killed the Star Evil Spirit, Bai Xiaoyu said he couldn't stand it.

Isn't it just a cross-level battle? He can do it too!

"I've said that getting rich is because of the help of treasures. Normally, you can only fight at the gold level. You don't have to ask for such high standards."

Jiang Chen sighed helplessly. Bai Xiaoyu was immediately excited. He jumped in front of Jiang Chen and said, "Treasure? I remember Wen Quan can make treasures, right?"

"Well, he should be able to."

Jiang Chen nodded. It has only been three days since they found the magic tools. He didn't know whether Wen Quan had made the treasures.

But since Wen Quan didn't say he couldn't, he should be able to.

"Very good, I also want to ask Wen Quan to help Lie make a treasure!"

With that, Bai Xiaoyu ran quickly towards the orphanage, completely ignoring Jiang Chen's words.

"The treasure must have at least one gold life core..."

Looking at Bai Xiaoyu's back that had disappeared at the end of the street, Jiang Chen couldn't help but shook his head.

"What's wrong with Xiaoyu?"

Dean Leng came out with a plate of fruit and asked.

"It's okay, I'm just irritated."

Jiang Chen shrugged, looked at the time, and said, "Dean, I should go too. You don't have to cook for both of us."

"Aren't you coming back today?"

Dean Leng was a little surprised.

"Well, I'm going out to practice for a while."

Jiang Chen nodded slightly. Because of the white meat, the few golden evil spirits around Lingyin City were all eliminated, and the highest remaining was only silver level.

Even if he could occasionally encounter demonized species, it would not be meaningful for training, so he had to change places.

"Practice outside? Is it far?"

Dean Leng was a little worried and couldn't help asking.

"Far? It's a bit far indeed."

...

Morning Star.

"You two are going to the Southern Region to practice?"

Bai Xiaoyu looked at Jiang Chen and Wen Quan in surprise and said, "And when did you decide? How come I didn't know?"

"I decided this morning."

Jiang Chen said, "I was originally thinking about where to practice, and Wen Quan happened to tell me that he wanted to go to the Southern Region to consult with several seniors who are good at making treasures, so we decided to go to the Southern Region."

"By the way, I also want to go there to see a new friend."

"Southern Region? Treasures?"

Hearing this, Bai Xiaoyu's eyes suddenly lit up and said, "Then I want to go too!"

"What are you going to do? Didn't you just receive the make-up exam notice from Tianqing University yesterday..."

Jiang Chen rolled his eyes. Although the budding class focuses more on practical combat than theoretical exams, basic pet spirit knowledge still needs to be taught, and there are naturally assessments.

Tianqing University will naturally not let Bai Xiaoyu go easily because he ranks first in practical combat and last in theory.

"Make up exam? We can talk about this later. The most important thing is to improve Lie's combat power!"

Bai Xiaoyu waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "And I think practicing with you is definitely more interesting than going to school. Maybe there will be unexpected surprises!"

"Can you stop being such a pessimist..."

Jiang Chen twitched his lips and turned to look at Wen Quan.

"Wen Quan, are you sure it's okay for you to leave alone?"

"No problem. I've already applied to Manager Luo. He agreed to let me go to the Nanyu Gusu branch to study for a while and ask about magic tools."

Wen Quan grinned and handed a folder to Jiang Chen.

"Manager Luo is also there now, so he asked me to invite you to go with him."

"Manager Luo invited me?"

Jiang Chen was a little surprised. He and Manager Luo had no connection, so why did he invite him?

Jiang Chen opened the folder, and the signature on the invitation was indeed Manager Luo.

However, there were two invitations.

"The other one is for Brother Xiaoyu. I didn't have time to notify him, and Brother Xiaoyu came by himself."

"And mine?"

Bai Xiaoyu took the invitation and looked at Jiang Chen.

Even Bai Xiaoyu's whereabouts were so clear, the intelligence work of this Morning Star was too good.

"Since Manager Luo has invited us, let's set off early."

Jiang Chen put away the invitation and said, "The winter vacation is not long, and we have to hurry up to practice."

"That's right, I must surpass you during this vacation!"

Bai Xiaoyu waved his fist confidently, his eyes full of fighting spirit.

"To surpass me, then you should change your goal."

"Hmph! You wait for me!"

...

South Region.

Gusu City.

"A-choo!"

Bai Xiaoyu just got off the car and felt a cold wind coming up along his trouser legs. He couldn't help but sneeze.

"Isn't it said that the south is warmer than the north? Why is it so cold!"

"The temperature in the south is just not as low as that in the north, but no one has ever said that the south is not cold."

Jiang Chen, who wrapped himself tightly, got off the car with his hands in his pockets. Looking at Bai Xiaoyu who was already frozen like a dog, he smiled and said, "You are a fire element user at least, but you are still afraid of the cold?"

"Nonsense, Lie is a fire element, not me!"

Bai Xiaoyu couldn't help but turn around and say something to Jiang Chen, but because of this excessive movement, the cold wind came in and he couldn't help shivering.

"The south is close to the sea, and the humidity is heavier, so it feels a little colder than the north."

Wen Quan, who was also fully armed, followed and said, "Brother Chen, Brother Xiaoyu, let's go up first. Manager Luo seems to be waiting for us."

Hearing Wen Quan's words, Jiang Chen and Bai Xiaoyu couldn't help but look at the building of the Gusu branch of the Venusstar Company in front of them.

Unlike the Yunyin branch, the architectural style of the Gusu branch is less rigid and more classical, but it is still full of technology.

"No matter how many times I see it, the architectural style of Venusstar is quite advanced..."

"It's like it doesn't belong to this world."

Jiang Chen couldn't help but sigh. The various research results of Venusstar are extremely advanced, and even out of touch with the current level of technology.

There was a saying on the Internet that Venusstar was actually a puppet fostered by aliens. It once made the headlines, but because no one responded, it gradually faded.

But even so, it still can't dispel people's curiosity about Venusstar.

"To be honest, I thought so when I first joined Venus."

Wen Quan nodded repeatedly and said, "But when I saw the seniors in the research department, I no longer thought so."

"Here, almost all the geniuses in the entire federation are gathered, and even the most absurd ideas will be supported by the board of directors."

"Most of them will fail, but those that succeed will become advanced technologies in people's eyes."

Wen Quan became more and more excited as he spoke, his eyes full of admiration for Venus.

"I guess only Venus Star is willing to unconditionally support the crazy ideas of geniuses."

Jiang Chen understood and smiled: "But Wen Quan, you are also a genius, so there is no need to be so yearning, right?"

"I just know a little bit."

Wen Quan scratched his head embarrassedly and said: "I have only applied for 23 A-level patents and 46 B-level patents so far, and I don't even have a core patent. It's really too bad."

Jiang Chen: "... Wen Quan, do you know that this sentence is very hurtful to a certain poor student?"

"Patents? Poor students? What are you talking about? Aren't we going to Venus Star? Hurry up and go in, I'm freezing to death!"

Bai Xiaoyu, who was almost frozen to death, didn't hear Wen Quan's words clearly. He shivered and urged the two.

"Forget it, let's go in first."

Jiang Chen laughed and followed Wen Quan into Venus Star Company.

As soon as he entered the Gu Su Branch, Jiang Chen saw a familiar figure.

"Lin Mu?"

"Jiang Chen? Why are you here?"

Lin Mu was also a little surprised by Jiang Chen's appearance.

"I came to the Southern Region with a friend to do some things, and I wanted to see the local customs and practices here."

Jiang Chen explained.

"I see, that's right, I'll be your guide after I finish my work here."

Lin Mu smiled slightly and said, "We are quite familiar with this small piece of land in the Southern Region."

"That's troublesome."

Jiang Chen nodded slightly and did not refuse.

Long before he came, he had heard from Wen Quan that the destination of their practice this time, Gusu City, was the headquarters of the Lin Group, one of the four major financial groups.

It was impossible to avoid contact when operating in someone else's territory. Now that Lin Mu took the initiative to show his goodwill, he certainly would not refuse.

After all, Lin Mu had left a good impression on him at the beginning. He was not a playboy like Su Rui who was a brainless map cannon. It would not hurt to get to know him.

"By the way, why are you here, Lin Mu?"

Jiang Chen asked back.

"Me? I came here with my father to deal with an urgent matter."

Lin Mu looked around and whispered, "Have you heard of the Sweetheart Dragon, one of the five natural disasters in the wilderness?"

Sweetheart Dragon?

He might know what it was...
