Chapter 937 - 937
Chapter 937: Secret Realm Cleanup Master
“Alright... I should go. Can't waste any more time here.”
Xing Anlei looked at the time and subconsciously shook her head.
Regarding Ming Xueming, their relationship could be considered besties in a club that was all about interests.
Of course, in the beginning, she was a senior.
If not for this incident, Ming Xueming could have steadily served as this president until graduation and abdication, becoming a club elder.
Just as Xing Anlei was about to leave, she brushed past a figure.
Seeing this figure, Xing Anlei subconsciously turned her head and met her gaze.
Nicola.
If there was anyone who most wanted Ming Xueming to fall, she definitely counted as one of them.
“Why are you here?”
“Do I need to report to you when I come here? Are you very free? Such a big thing happened in the club, and the vice president entrusted with looking after the Secret Realm is actually neglecting her duty... Oh, almost forgot, heard your president was beaten out of the Secret Realm by a monster inside. Really embarrassing.”
“...”
Xing Anlei didn't tangle too much with such a person.
With this aggressive tone, she felt that for every sentence she said to the other party, she would be mocked back with three sentences.
Nicola was the same, ignoring Xing Anlei directly and entering the infirmary.
“Isn't this our Lord President of Wan Shi Wu? First time seeing someone with Undying Nature having to be hospitalized. Or perhaps... giving up on yourself just like this?”
“Nicola...”
Seeing this figure, Ming Xueming's face also darkened.
***
While Wan Shi Wu and the Witch's Secret Realm Club were in internal turmoil, inside the Ice Throne Secret Realm, there was still a group of “abandoned” people.
And these people were exactly those excavating at the laboratory ruins.
At this moment, no one told them about the situation outside, and they could only start excavating the ruins according to the contract.
But what made it somewhat hard for them to accept was that there seemed to be nothing in this ruin!
No materials left from experiments, no precious ingredients, looking completely like an empty building.
A large amount of paper materials were left inside, and all showed traces of being browsed recently.
What made it even harder for them to accept was that someone else beat them to it!
After all, during the excavation, they unsurprisingly dug into the underground passage Tan Han and the others used.
Facing such a gap, this team also had huge disagreements again.
Those who were pacified before, thinking there were good things inside, finally couldn't bear it anymore at this moment!
But as soon as these people erupted, they were immediately scolded by others.
“What are you doing! Don't destroy those instruments! Inside are all experimental data, do you understand!”
“Don't use your hands... vent your anger elsewhere, okay!”
“Treating some broken machines like treasures, these things can't even sell for much as scrap iron! Who do you think you are!”
“Let us professionals do professional things. Why are you destroying the scene for no reason! Do you really not know how expensive these instruments are! These are experimental instruments only Transcendent Witches are qualified to use!”
“Exactly! Even if these instruments have been placed here for so long, their estimated price on the black market is enough to buy several of your heads.”
“What did you say! Dare to say it again! Believe it or not, I can twist your head off right now!”
At this moment, the atmosphere at the scene was completely detonated by this one sentence.
Those present were all geniuses of various academies, or veterans, or even hopes of families; their arrogance was naturally higher one after another.
Holding a bellyful of anger originally, and being forced by a contract to excavate ruins here and unable to leave!
Facing such a scene, many veterans stepped back a few steps to make space for these people.
After all, in this icy and snowy place, why not watch some fun?
They weren't from the same academy, and a considerable number of people didn't come by their own will.
Since they were “working” and not in their professional field, why couldn't they slack off?
It was just that these people weren't quite clear yet that before long, a disaster would sweep everyone!
Just as these people were fighting, the people following from the Witch Academy suddenly received a message.
It was transmitted through the Seed of Knowledge.
This was a message sent in the name of the club, asking them to withdraw from the Secret Realm as soon as possible.
Unknown changes appeared in the Secret Realm.
To ensure safety, they were asked to peacefully dissolve the contract as soon as possible and announce the termination of exploration and evacuation.
But looking at these people fighting fiercely at this moment, they also had a headache.
Is it possible?
Previously, when the Ancient Glacial Ice rioted, someone proposed bypassing the contract first and terminating this binding force, but obviously, not everyone was willing.
After all, the Witch's Contract was the guarantee that everyone at this moment could fairly distribute valuable items in the ruins.
Even if there were no valuable ingredients in the laboratory at this moment, the experimental materials inside were also things to fight for.
No one hoped these materials would be snatched away by anyone completely.
And unsurprisingly, after the people from the Witch Academy proposed this, it was quickly rejected.
It even caused a round of isolation and suppression.
This group, by now, had completely scattered due to various reasons.
Harsh weather, inconvenient movement, different races, different demands, different abilities, and the evil of human nature.
All these, under a contract, were accelerating, colliding and blending continuously...
Unknowingly, the wind and snow became heavier and heavier.
The deep pit they widened towards the edge even required everyone to constantly sweep snow so they wouldn't be covered by accumulated snow.
The harsh weather made even those with worse behavior realize something was wrong.
The wind and snow were still getting bigger; visibility even made them unable to see the other side from this side of the deep dug pit.
A huge figure was hidden in the blizzard, but no one noticed until now.
“Now you can leave first too, otherwise, you might not have a chance later.”
I looked at the four people in my hand and said.
“Leaving now? We clearly didn't get anything! Just feel like this trip... uh... was all suffering.”
“Witch's Secret Realms are like this. Actually, after strolling through many Secret Realms, there are basically no gains. Can only say this Secret Realm isn't suitable for us.”
Tan Han also sighed with emotion.
“But... this trip wasn't without gains, was it? At least the Grand Spellbook fragments were basically all collected by us.”
Tan Han said while looking at the huge figure behind her.
“Saying it like this seems true. Also frustrated the guys from the club and other academies. Feel like... we earned?”
“Mhm, earned.”
“I say, are you reluctant to part with this harsh environment? Although I made you busy for such a big circle without gaining anything, after going out, I will try my best to compensate you. Or just consider this incident as me owing a favor?”
When I said this, the discussion of the few people stopped abruptly.
“Little Han, having no gains is our problem; it has nothing to do with you. Aren't we people of the same club? Talking about compensation and such is too much, right?”
Hearing my words, especially that “favor,” Tan Han's pupils quaked instantly!
But reason still made her say these words.
Whether from emotional recognition or rational long-term interests, Tan Han felt there was no problem saying this.
“This Secret Realm exploration made you lose even the Wand of Absolute Cold, Frozen World, and other fragments you could have kept, you know?”
Hearing Tan Han's words, I was also a bit surprised, but I still reminded her to confirm.
“I will explain this matter to the Store Manager when I go back. Moreover... the things involved in this matter are no longer something our level can touch, right?”
“Alright, if you insist, I won't dwell on this issue anymore. But if you need anything, you can find Millian directly. I will inform her in advance.”
I said.
Recently, Millian had been expanding the scale of the Bakery Club in the academy, which was the bakery of the Bakery Club.
Although... baking pastries and desserts couldn't earn big money, let alone earn universal currency like Transcendent materials such as Red Copper and Mithril.
But many things needed to be done bit by bit.
Being overly ambitious was always a big taboo in the starting stage.
Of course, regarding the opening of the bakery, Millian certainly didn't do it herself; she had more important things to do.
After sending Tan Han and the others away, the remaining place here was my home field.
I had to say, towards Tan Han and the others, I still felt a little indebted in my heart.
Not just Tan Han, all people who entered this Secret Realm, all efforts became my wedding dress, and eventually fulfilled me.
But I didn't have this feeling for others.
What did others gaining nothing have to do with me?
Just inferior skills.
But Tan Han and the others... just like Tan Han said just now, we were people of the same club.
Taking care still needed to take care a bit.
The current Bakery Club just started.
Millian had also been emphasizing the importance of the club's foundation, but wanting to take root in this place of the academy and possess industries belonging to the club was really difficult.
Even holding a large amount of resources, the effect of throwing money was minimal.
But did the Bakery Club really not have a tiny bit of connections?
No, for example, the most basic team, the people originally from Little Han's Support Group, these were all Millian's foundation.
Then there was Yi Rui's group.
Their relationship with me could be considered very good.
Now Yi Rui's group took off, participating in the academy-level experimental project of Self-generating Magic Power.
Even people who had a good relationship with Yi Rui and the others before, and even other groups with a lot of exchanges followed to communicate; these were all connections.
And the one inheriting this relationship was Millian.
This was the Transcendent Academy.
Learning wouldn't make students nerds, but Non-Extraordinary people mastering a large amount of Transcendent technique-related knowledge!
Such people were all existences roped in by many forces within the academy.
Those special alchemical items, potions, custom elixirs, rune engraving, etc., although very common, as long as the level was high, they were the type with price but no market!
And there was a more important point.
Expansion Realm.
The most important Ninglan Land Boundary in the Expansion Realm, and the City Lord of the core city Ninglan New City, Ninglan Qiuyue.
Her relationship with me was needless to say.
Whether previous promises or invisible help... she wasn't some so-called ungrateful wretch.
There were even legends circulating in the shelters outside the Ninglan Land Boundary.
These were all foundations.
Just waiting for the academy to open the channel between the Expansion Realm and the academy and establish a permanent teleportation gate would be enough to make the Bakery Club take off.
So although Millian was busy, more of it was actually recharging energy and maintaining communication with the Expansion Realm.
After all, Ninglan Qiuyue also had the Seed of Great Knowledge I sent out.
This was the current status of the Bakery Club, barely considered... a promising future?
Ending these look-backs, looking at the reality at this moment.
“Everything is over.”
With my command, the power of the Ice Throne awakened countless Ancient Glacial Ice.
This means was similar to summoning, but had a huge difference.
Because these Ancient Glacial Ice crawling up from the ice layer were all clan members who sacrificed for it originally!
They were willing to crawl up again and fight for the King!
Absolute loyalty, absolute obedience.
This behavior reminded me of ants, or the mode of the Zerg race.
All clans served the queen ant or the insect mother.
Not all races yearned for peace or freedom from birth.
These definitions didn't apply to all lives.
And there was no need for humans to impose these concepts on them.
The sudden huge change immediately made the people at the laboratory ruins face a formidable enemy!
But when they reacted, they were already surrounded by a huge number of Ancient Glacial Ice.
If at the beginning, the first thing they thought of was resistance, but when that mountain-like figure leaned down to look at them, there was no luck at all.
They suddenly found themselves like ants digging a pit, facing a mischievous child, yet helpless.
“Give you a chance, leave the Secret Realm, otherwise let your corpses stay here.”

“Out... came out!”
Shi Ruizhi felt the long-lost sunshine and warmth of the outside world, a sense of comfort from the heart arose spontaneously.
Then she pulled open all the warm clothes still sticking with snowflakes, breathing deeply the soft air.
Sure enough, only after experiencing suffering can one appreciate the beauty of the ordinary!
At this moment, not only Shi Ruizhi, but Tan Han and the others were also more or less like this, just not as exaggerated as Shi Ruizhi.
Regarding the four people who suddenly “escaped” from the Secret Realm at this moment, someone came up quickly, but after seeing the faces of these few people, they also hesitated.
Generally speaking, people who had reached the point of using special methods to tear the Secret Realm space to save their lives shouldn't be so “leisurely.”
Moreover, after these few people were recognized, they were actually the group of Tan Han who had been deliberately warned about!
“Quick! Someone come quick! Don't let these few leave!”
After all, the reason why so many “shitty things” happened in the Secret Realm was basically all caused by these few people.
Both Wan Shi Wu and the Witch's Secret Realm Club issued internal wanted orders for these few people.
Any consequences caused would be borne by the club.
However, because something big happened in the club not long ago, there was simply no one with enough status here to suppress Tan Han and the others.
So they only dared to shout and then quickly report this matter.
“Go quickly. If you don't want to be entangled in trouble, leave here first!”
Tan Han was also the first to react at this moment, pushing Shi Ruizhi who still didn't quite know the situation, and hurriedly wanted to leave.
Even though this was the Witch Academy, it didn't mean they couldn't make a move.
After all, really making a move would just mean being caught by the Disciplinary Squad.
But doing things for the club, how could the club let these people suffer?
Plus, how many people in the Disciplinary Squad had unclear relationships with the club...
So in the academy, it was really easy for these clubs to fix a person with no connections.
Of course, this was also related to Transcendent Witches not liking to manage the affairs of people below Transcendent.
