Chapter Fifteen: Hidden Foreign Aid

  "Of course, it's possible, but just this won't be enough. I also need to understand the difficulty of this commission. Can you provide some information?"

  "Of course."

  Wang Hai made a phone call, and soon someone delivered a thick file bag. Wang Hai's eyes twitched slightly as he looked at it, thinking that tonight wouldn't be so boring after all. "Let's arrange a meeting place, shall we meet in three days? After all, some extra preparation time is still needed."

  "It's simple, let's just go back to where we met last time, I'll be there tonight."

  Taking over the file bag, Jiǔ Mìng weighed it slightly and said, "We'll discuss the payment later."

  "Don't worry, I won't let you down. By the way, if nothing's wrong, don't show up in broad daylight again; someone called the cops last time. Otherwise, I can get you a whole plastic skin suit? Guaranteed to be just like a normal person."

  "Uh... a skin suit? It feels weird, I'd rather not. As long as no one sees me, it's fine." Thinking about the technology in this world, Wang Hai's suggestion was really easy to implement, but the feeling was just off. To put it nicely, it was like wearing a skin suit, but to be blunt... wasn't it just like being a pervert with an inflatable doll?

  "Never mind."

  Wang Hai shook his head, this matter even if nine lives were found it would be impossible to do anything about it. Who let the students' internship be something that these teachers cannot interfere with? Finding external help is also not allowed, and being caught would result in punishment. Although there will also be protective measures prepared for those students, they are only for some relatively mild situations.

  In an emergency situation, it's almost useless.

  Of course, some colleges that care about students will find some foreign aid under the condition of allowing conditions. Of course, these foreign aids need to be registered. As for those hidden in nature, the first condition is that they cannot be discovered. If they are discovered, they absolutely cannot admit who their employer is.

  Everyone knows what's going on without needing to say it...

  This type of outsider usually tries to intervene as little as possible, and most of the attention is focused on those students with great potential in the academy. The more times they intervene, the greater the possibility of exposure. Once exposed, it's not easy to get out of the student practice area, and if caught, there will be consequences, and face will definitely be lost.

  Conceal foreign aid of this kind, although it can't be too much, but this point must be present!

  "Goodbye." With the file bag tucked under his arm, Jiǔ Mìng waved goodbye to Wáng Hǎi behind him and walked forward. Suddenly, a few faint ripples appeared in front of him, and then Jiǔ Mìng completely disappeared into thin air. This bizarre situation would have been quite frightening if someone else had seen it at night.

  "Whoa... damn it! Spatial ability!?!" Wang Hai, who had just gotten a can of beer from the vending machine next to him, spat out half of the beer he was drinking, and then shook his head in disbelief. "I guess it's related to his individuality... after all, he's a ghost, such an unusual existence."

  Okay, the existence of Jiuming is no secret. After all, Changhe College is the most famous school in Lingquan City. It's not without reason that Jiuming was able to sneak in smoothly earlier. Many of the school's top experts had gone out in advance to prepare for some countermeasures against senior students' internships.

  Then they brought back this very bad news.

  Many researchers at Changhe College are very interested in the existence of Jiǔ Mìng, and many people have tried to find Jiǔ Mìng to talk to him, but Wang Hai temporarily suppressed this matter by using his own connections.

  It's just a ghost! Why make such a fuss?

  Of course, it's possible that it might just end up like this, and if others were to find out, they might not even get the chance to talk things over.

  In short, the matter of Jiǔ Mìng was temporarily suppressed by Changhe College. After all, a paper bag can't keep fire wrapped up for long...

  "Hmm, what's this? Death Forest... Never heard of it, what a rotten name!" He pulled out several documents from the file bag and took a look. Jiǔ Mìng let out a yawn, saying that these materials were quite thorough... Must have been prepared in advance!

  After continuing to grope around inside for a while, Jiǔ Mìng flipped out a large map of the mainland. The distribution was roughly the same as in his previous life's world, but many area names were different.

  How did you get the students there for internship?

  The interns in the world before my rebirth were simply too weak, the two worlds' internships weren't even on the same level. The former could be called cheap labor at best, while the latter was a real combat exercise!

  The map marked the training area with a red circle, which was not large and neither on the edge nor in the central area. The danger level has increased significantly as it is at the center of both aspects. After briefly reviewing those materials, I noted some precautions, one of which was not to be discovered, whether by students or others.

  During the internship, another point is to exercise these students' abilities as much as possible, and to cultivate their adaptability. In addition, we need to pay extra attention to some students with high potential. When they encounter danger, even if it means exposing themselves, they should be protected, because losing a talented seedling would be a loss for the human race.

  This is also a tacit rule for each college to secretly find hidden external help, and few people want to see the loss of talent.

  It's just a matter of finding fault, exposing that it was your mistake, punishment will definitely be there, some things everyone understands in their heart is enough, saying it out loud is just seeking death.

  What is the difference between a learning scumbag and a learning tyrant?

  He slightly raised an eyebrow, and indeed, the existence of a top student is valued everywhere. He put down several documents and picked up the thick book stuffed in the file bag, flipping through it.

  After a brief glance, Jiǔ Mìng shook his head. The historical trajectory of this world was completely different from his own, let alone the dynasties and other aspects. Moreover, superpowers had emerged in this world for a long time, and the population advantage of Asia was simply too great.

  With a huge population advantage, the probability of producing geniuses has also been artificially raised to a fairly high proportion, that is to say... this world's Tian Chao national strength is very strong.

  A pretty cool world, where individual combat power can roam freely after reaching a certain level, and in terms of technology, due to the existence of high-energy mineral crystals, it has also taken a different path.

  Alright, just like the appraisal of a mysterious shop, high-energy mineral crystals are just a term in this world. In a fantasy world, it would be called spiritual stones... and what about sacred stones or divine stones?

  Perhaps the world's abnormal energy is particularly abundant, and it has evolved into this way, benefiting humans. Those animals and beasts will not be treated unfairly, and they have evolved to be no worse than humans. Some are even said to possess intelligence that rivals that of humans. Alright, let's just call them monsters then.

  The struggle between humans and heterobeasts has never stopped, with humans developing and growing stronger at a pace that is not slow. The confrontation rarely breaks through, even if the balance tilts towards one side, it will not last for too long.

  Page by page, the books on the table were turned over, and he carefully read through them, familiarizing himself with new things in this world. Soon, this book was turned to the end, leaving a feeling of incompleteness.

  "Ah, the content is still a bit lacking." He stood up and stretched his body. Jiǔ Mìng glanced at the time; in two more hours it would be dawn. Without that day's explosive temper, it was estimated that no new customers would come to this place for a while.

  Without a guest... Hmph, thinking about it now, aside from the convenience provided by the mysterious shop in his current world, wasn't there also an intention to make Jiuming 'work'?

  Just waiting around, the luck is not good, maybe for a month or two, no one will come here, and the monthly 'sales' will not be reached, which means the current store manager will have to reluctantly step down.

  After surviving that inhumane training period, Jiuming no longer took the issue of death lightly. Having had such a painful experience, looking at death lightly would be quite unbearable. Dying is one thing, but suffering so much before dying?

  Why bother? Since that's the case, I'll just live strongly then. My nine lives haven't yet become numb to the painful experience of that hellish training period.

  Having endured so much hardship and still managed to survive, it would be a total waste to give up now!

  On the coffee table, Haruhi Suzumiya's phone screen flickered for a moment, and Kyon, who had already closed his eyes to take a nap, didn't notice it.

  "Hey! Old Wang, the materials you provided are not enough, can I have two more books?"

  The next day, Jiuyi started harassing Wang Hai's phone number early in the morning. Originally, he wanted to make a call in the mysterious store, but it was completely impossible, there was no signal at all!

  Haruhi Suzumiya's phone seems to have broken through the signal communication method and reached a level where rules exist in her ears.

  He easily dialed Wang Hai's phone number, and when he answered, Wang Hai was still staring blankly at the messy code on his phone, what the hell is this!

  Only after connecting did I realize it was a wrong number, what is this? A ghost call?

  "This kind of thing, you can easily find this type of book in a small library, if you want to read it, go yourself." Wang Hai grabbed the towel next to him and wiped his face, "I've got something that's been keeping me busy lately, same old story, otherwise I'll get you a plastic skin case, the highest civilian grade, high elasticity, breathable, bulletproof, thin and won't affect touch, two hours and you can receive it."

  "......Are you willing to get into an inflatable doll for no reason?"

  "It's really troublesome being a ghost."

  "I can walk through walls."

  "...I told you not to cause trouble if there's nothing wrong, I also have connections with the people in the police station, at that time I will definitely not cover for you."

  "You're thinking too much, what can a ghost like me do?" With a sneer, Jiǔ Mìng changed the subject, "Forget it, I'll figure something out myself. You won't give me funding to bring you along?"

  "Huh?!" Wang Hai's stern face twitched at the corners of his mouth, "Didn't you used to treat money like dirt?"

  "Of course, you also know that I have many abilities to make money through illegal channels." Jiǔ Mìng shrugged.

  "Never mind, half an hour later at the usual place I'll find someone to hand over a bank card, password six zeros, the remaining amount you pay yourself. If it's picked up by someone ahead of time, you use your own illegal channels, I'll tell you a few illegal hideouts..."
