Whole School Transmigrated: I Have 3 Daily Intel

"What is this...?"

"A feather from that Giant Eagle Extraordinary Creature!" Zhang Meng stated its origin directly.

Chen Chong and Wang Biao exchanged a glance, seeing the confusion in each other’s eyes.

They were clearly thinking the same thing, mistakenly believing Zhang Meng had climbed the barren mountain.

But Zhang Meng’s next words left them stunned...

"I found this feather outside a cave. Based on the recent school rumors about a battle between an eagle and a snake, I suspect the cave I found is the hiding place of one of them!"

"I’m telling you, I definitely heard a loud noise coming from inside the cave, but I couldn’t tell if it was from a snake or an eagle."

’A school rumor... about a battle between an eagle and a snake?’

It wasn’t just Chen Chong; Xu Jun and Shen Xinrou were also quite puzzled.

As if expecting this, Zhang Meng explained with a smile.

"This happened yesterday evening. The Fighting Club ran into two Extraordinary Creatures fighting. When they got back, some of them sold the information to intelligence brokers in the trading market."

"Some people at school already know about it, but the news hasn’t spread completely, so most people are still in the dark. It’s normal that you haven’t heard..."

From Zhang Meng’s account, Chen Chong and the others finally understood the whole story.

Besides sending people out to seize resources, the Fighting Club’s main source of income was selling crude well salt produced by their Salt Well.

Originally, the Fighting Club had a monopoly on the well salt business. They used it to trade for a lot of resources and recruit many new members.

But ever since the Survival Association and another small team also acquired Salt Wells, the profits were split.

The well salt business was now divided three ways. Students no longer had to buy expensive salt from the Fighting Club, causing the club’s income to plummet.

They had to find another way, or they wouldn’t be able to support the dozens of people in their club with that meager income.

Coincidentally, on the second day after the transmigration, Fan Kai obtained a Recruitment Card: Snake Charmer!

He didn’t have many skills; his only advantage was catching and raising snakes.

When the club’s resources were abundant, most people, including Fan Kai, were instinctively afraid and repulsed by snakes. This prevented the recruited character from using their true abilities after being summoned.

He could only do odd jobs around the club like mopping floors and giving massages, ordered around by everyone like a servant.

Later, when the salt profits were split, they thought about trying to catch snakes for food. Most people were resistant at first, but after they caught and cooked a few...

So delicious!

From then on, the Fighting Club went all out, specializing in catching snakes in the jungle.

This Primitive Jungle was teeming with snakes, and pitifully few students had thought of targeting them. As a result, the Fighting Club had a huge haul every day, catching more snakes than they could possibly eat.

Their snake-catching expeditions eventually led them to a celestial pit about five thousand meters west of the school...

There, they encountered the rampaging Giant Eagle and the master of the Celestial Pit... a Blood Python!

The two Extraordinary Creatures fought, not only causing tens of thousands of snakes of all kinds to flee the pit but also spraying poisonous mist everywhere.

The members of the Fighting Club managed to escape, but they suffered heavy casualties.

Of the thirty-plus people, half of them were left behind forever, either corroded to death by the poison mist or bitten to death by venomous snakes.

Fewer than fifteen people made it back...

And they brought this news with them.

"According to the person selling the info, the Fighting Club doesn’t know who won the fight, but they’re certain both Extraordinary Creatures were seriously injured. They’re probably half-dead."

"There’s another rumor going around, a theory from the Survival Association. They think killing Extraordinary Creatures might drop Rare Cards. After all, people find Cards outside every day. If you can kill an Extraordinary Creature, you should definitely get a Card."

"With these two pieces of news, a lot of people have started targeting the Extraordinary Creatures, trying to find the hiding places of the Giant Eagle and the giant python. If they get lucky and find a dead Extraordinary Creature, they might just pick up a few Rare Cards for free..."

Listening to Zhang Meng, Chen Chong was a little surprised.

’There are a lot of talented people at this school!’

Even without any intel prompts, they actually guessed that killing Extraordinary Creatures would drop Rare Cards.

As expected, university students have sharp minds. They can even make logical guesses out of thin air.

However...

’If anyone actually finds them, they probably won’t be picking up any Cards. More likely, they’ll just become a fresh pile of dung.’

The intel had clearly stated that although the Blood-tooth Python and the Stone Claw Eagle were seriously injured and weakened, their wounds weren’t fatal.

They were just lying low to recuperate. Half a month would be enough for them to recover.

If a group of ordinary university students with just knives and clubs could stab them to death, then these Extraordinary Creatures would have wasted all those years surviving in the jungle.

Still, Zhang Meng’s words served as a reminder for Chen Chong.

He usually took Xu Jun and Wang Biao out hunting, relying on intel to pick up Cards. And while their hauls were good, they had very little contact with what was happening inside the school.

He wasn’t receiving a lot of the school-related intel in a timely manner.

’Compared to others, I have an intelligence system that can get me secret information, but the small stuff is important too.’

’With a thousand people at the school, and dozens or even hundreds of small teams going out every day, someone is bound to discover something new or interesting.’

’For example, information about where a special creature has appeared, or where there’s been bloodshed.’

’If I could figure out a way to collect all this school-wide intel, it would definitely be beneficial for my future survival and expeditions.’

’Besides, I have a lot of intel myself. Just this morning, I obtained an incomplete catalog of the jungle, which records dozens of flora and fauna unique to this world.’

’Couldn’t I use this intel to trade for resources, and then collect other intel on the side?’

’That way, not only would I open up a new avenue for acquiring resources, but I’d also be able to gather information about events happening all over the school in real-time.’

’If I can get this information exchange system working well, I might even make people dependent on it, turning it into something as essential as Shen Xinrou’s clinic!’

’It would raise my team’s status in the eyes of the students and attract more attention and goodwill...’

"Sounds like you got pretty lucky. If you hadn’t been kicked out of the Fighting Club, wouldn’t you have been caught up in that disaster too?" Xu Jun said teasingly.

Zhang Meng shook his head with a wry smile.

"What you say is true. Fan Kai and I don’t see eye to eye. Leaving the Fighting Club might have really been a good thing!"

Then, he turned to Chen Chong.

"Brother Chen Chong, this is my pledge of loyalty, my sincerity."

"Right now, many people at the school, including the Survival Association, are searching for the injured giant python and the Giant Eagle, hoping to scavenge something. If you’re willing, I’ll take you to that cave."

Chen Chong raised an eyebrow. ’That’s not a scavenger hunt I want to join.’

At least, not now.

’Hunting Extraordinary Creatures is never that simple.’

So far, relying on the daily intel about its weaknesses and abilities, he only had a tentative plan for the weakest of them, the Unihorn Catfish.

’The Blood-tooth Python and the Stone Claw Eagle... even weakened, they’re not something ordinary people can contend with.’

But hunting them was a must. He just needed to wait for the right time—for instance, for the intel to give him a hint, or for him to come up with a better plan.

’They’re weakened for half a month. It’s a good time to start learning their movements...’

"Can I ask, with so many clubs and small teams at the school, why did you want to find me?"

Zhang Meng laughed. "To be honest, I’m not entirely sure myself. I guess I just have a good feeling about you. I feel like your personality suits me!"

As he said this, Zhang Meng subconsciously glanced at Xu Jun and Wang Biao.

He knew one was Chen Chong’s best friend and the other was someone Chen Chong had recruited.

But regardless, they trusted each other completely. Surviving in this jungle, they were like sworn brothers who could depend on each other with their lives.

’Isn’t that kind of bond... exactly what I used to long for?’

Unfortunately, the side effects of this transmigration had made people’s hearts hard to fathom.

They were either aggressive or paranoid. It seemed that besides himself and Huang Mao, there were hardly any normal people in the entire club.

’I don’t have many skills. I’m just strong and decent in a fight. As for catching prey... I’m really no good at it.’

He had tried several times over the past two days but could only catch a few small animals, not nearly enough to fill his stomach.

Chen Chong, on the other hand, managed to capture good prey every few days.

’In this post-transmigration world, he is definitely a capable and excellent leader.’

’If I can join his team, I’ll surely have a better chance at survival, and I might finally experience that brotherhood I’ve always yearned for—the kind where you can trust someone with your back...’

"Hm, I have a good feeling about you too."

Chen Chong had no negative impression of Zhang Meng. Although the Fighting Club had a bad reputation, as someone from the same dormitory building, he had some sense of Zhang Meng’s character.

Besides, the last time Fan Kai came looking for trouble, Zhang Meng had shown clear surprise. He was obviously not the same type of person as that "smiling tiger," Fan Kai.

Both of them were big and strong. His team was about to go hunt the Unihorn Catfish and happened to be short-handed.

As for the matter of trust...

Chen Chong was certain he had really been kicked out of the Fighting Club, but he would need to spend more time with him to truly know his character and personality.

"Do you know how to process crude salt?"

"Process crude salt?"

Zhang Meng paused for a moment, then nodded.

"I was in charge of the Salt Well for a while back in the Fighting Club, so I know how to process crude salt. Are you saying... you have a Salt Well Card?"

Chen Chong took out a Card. "From now on, you’ll be in charge of processing crude salt for me. You’ll also join us on hunts as a main combatant. How about it?"

Zhang Meng stared blankly at the Salt Well Card in Chen Chong’s hand.

It had been eight days since the transmigration. Among the thousand-plus students in the school, only three Salt Well Cards had appeared so far, yet Chen Chong had just casually pulled one out.

’What kind of luck is that?’

"Deal! I’m not great at logistics, but if it’s a job that requires brute force and risking my life, I’ll be the first to charge in!"

"Me too!"

The follower, Huang Mao, who was standing behind Zhang Meng, chimed in.

Chen Chong nodded slightly, already formulating a plan in his mind.

’I already know the Unihorn Catfish’s weaknesses and abilities. The plan to hunt it is a sure thing.’

’Barring any surprises, we can start the operation today.’

’Even if the Unihorn Catfish is the weakest of the four Extraordinary Creatures, it’s still an Extraordinary Creature.’

Hunting it would be fraught with danger. There was a very real possibility of losing one’s life.

’Bringing Zhang Meng and his follower along will give us two more helpers...’
