Whole School Transmigrated: I Have 3 Daily Intel

"Brother Chong, this Unihorn Catfish has been burned to a crisp. What are we still doing here?"

By the tributary, Xu Jun stared quizzically at the ground, which was already pitch-black and covered in scorch marks.

In yesterday’s great fire, the Unihorn Catfish had been burned beyond recognition. The majority of its massive body had vanished, leaving behind less than a third of the carcass.

After another night, even this third had shrunk considerably, leaving only some blackened bones and charcoal-like chunks of flesh.

If someone who hadn’t personally experienced the hunt for the Unihorn Catfish came here, they would never guess this was once that lawless Extraordinary Creature of the water.

"It had its uses when it was alive, and it has its uses now that it’s charcoal."

Chen Chong wasted no time on words. He took the long spear from Wang Biao’s hands and began prodding at the Unihorn Catfish’s remains, as if searching for something...

The description on the Card for the Extraordinary Artifact Forging Furnace stated that materials dropped from any Extraordinary Creature could be used to craft Extraordinary Artifacts.

It didn’t specify any particular part of the Extraordinary Creature; it seemed that any material from one would do.

The intel had also mentioned that the Unihorn Catfish’s horn was its most unique part and could be used to craft powerful Extraordinary Artifacts.

But it never said that parts other than the horn *couldn’t* be used to craft Extraordinary Artifacts...

Chen Chong guessed that besides the horn, perhaps the Unihorn Catfish’s bones, hide, and even its teeth could also be used to craft Extraordinary Artifacts.

The only difference would be that the resulting Extraordinary Artifacts wouldn’t be as powerful as those made from the unique horn...

’Of course, this is just a guess based on those two pieces of information. In any case, the Bloodthirsty Vines were all wiped out in the fire, and the last surviving Core Bloodthirsty Vine was devoured by the Tiger Striped Dog and the Lion-headed Goose. No need to worry about running into that creepy thing again.’

’I’ll just search the remains for any usable bones, teeth, or other parts, take them back, and toss them into the Extraordinary Artifact Forging Furnace to see what happens.’

’If it works and I can make an Extraordinary Artifact, that would be a huge win, even if it’s the lowest grade.’

’Even if it fails, it’s no loss—just a waste of some time and energy...’

Although Xu Jun and the others didn’t understand Chen Chong’s actions, they still grabbed spears, clubs, and the like and started poking through the remains alongside him.

Half an hour later...

A small pile of pitch-black objects lay on the ground.

These were the bones and teeth they had found in the Unihorn Catfish’s remains.

Most of the bones had been turned to ash by yesterday’s fire. Only these, despite their charred exteriors, remained as hard as stone.

Chen Chong was reasonably satisfied as he looked at the good forty or fifty pounds of bones and teeth.

Although the Unihorn Catfish had been infested by the Bloodthirsty Vine, making its corpse unusable, they had fortunately managed to cut off the most important part—the horn—beforehand, so it wasn’t wasted.

In the end, the Core Bloodthirsty Vine had even empowered the Tiger Striped Dog and the Lion-headed Goose, especially the latter, helping it move steadily closer to becoming an Extraordinary Creature.

To be able to salvage so many usable bones and teeth from the wreckage now was a pretty good outcome.

"Bag them up."

Wang Biao took out a pre-prepared burlap sack and stuffed all the bones and teeth inside.

...

After checking the traps and salvaging the remains, the group was laden with spoils. Each person shouldered a large load and started heading back to the school.

In the middle of the jungle, an idea Chen Chong had previously considered suddenly came to mind...

’It’s my eleventh day in this world. Every day, I take Xu Jun and Wang Biao out to hunt, leaving early and returning late. I haven’t had time to learn much about what’s going on inside and outside the school.’

’Most of the time, half the school knows about something before I even hear a whisper of it.’

’That incident with the Fighting Club members getting caught in the crossfire of the Blood-tooth Python and Stone Claw Eagle’s battle, suffering heavy casualties, is a prime example.’

’While this kind of information won’t make me stronger or lead me to resources like the daily intel does, it can help me get a better grasp on the situation at the school and in the Primitive Jungle.’

’For example, where the dangerous zones with special creatures are, where prey is more abundant, or who has found traces of Extraordinary Creatures...’

’If I can master this flow of information, it will be a great aid to survival.’

’Besides, I have a lot of secrets that ordinary people can’t possibly know.’

’I can’t just let it all go to waste by keeping it to myself. I need to find a way to exchange it for resources, to repurpose this stuff...’

"Ah Jun, when we get back to school, we’re going to the Fishing Club first."

"What for, Brother Chong? Are you going to give them a share of our stuff?"

"I’m just going to discuss something with them. It just so happens their club is closer."

"What is it?"

Chen Chong didn’t hide anything and laid out his whole idea of building a place for information exchange.

As soon as he said this, Wang Biao, Jia Wen, and Zhang Meng all turned to look at him.

"Boss, that’s an excellent idea!"

"Brilliant! Critical information can often decide victory from a thousand miles away, and the same is true in this Primitive Jungle. Boss, your plan is truly profound!"

"Haha, Brother Chen Chong, you should have done this ages ago! You have that... what’s it called, that codex? You know information about jungle creatures that many others don’t. Not only can you trade that information for resources, but you can also get firsthand intel on everything happening inside and outside the school. I’m all for it."

Unlike the other three, while Xu Jun and Huang Mao also thought it was a good idea, they had one question... why go to the Fishing Club?

When the two of them voiced this question one after another, Zhang Meng answered for Chen Chong before he had the chance.

"Brother Xu Jun, you have to think about it like this: setting up a place to exchange information isn’t something one or two people can do. There’s a lot of work involved, and organizing the personnel is also quite a hassle."
