Whole School Transmigrated: I Have 3 Daily Intel

"Bro, are you crazy?"

"This isn’t the time for jokes. That Giant Catfish is over ten meters long and as built as a truck. How are we supposed to kill it?"

Zhong Fang was so shocked he shot to his feet.

It had been eight days since they’d been transported here, and he had matured. He was no longer like he was on the first day, dreaming of catching the Giant Catfish to bring glory to his ancestors.

’That thing couldn’t even be considered a normal fish. Catch it on a line?’

’We’d need a crane to even have a chance.’

He no longer dreamed of killing the Giant Catfish. If it would just stop causing trouble, everyone in the Fishing Club would be eternally grateful.

Zhang Meng and Huang Mao also stared at Chen Chong in disbelief.

Aside from Xu Jun, Wang Biao, and Jia Wen, everyone else thought the idea was absurd.

"Do I look like I’m joking?"

Zhong Fang sat back down, his expression serious. "You didn’t before, but now you kind of do."

Chen Chong: "..."

"Let’s cut the crap. I’ll ask you one thing: do you want to get rid of the Giant Catfish or not?"

"Of course! It’s all I dream about!"

"If I have a way, do you dare to join me?"

"If you have a way, of course I dare!"

"This is extremely risky. People could die. Do you still dare?"

Zhong Fang was silent for a few seconds, then nodded. "I dare. If you told me killing a monster like that wasn’t dangerous, I’d think you were full of it!"

"Good. Ah Jun." Chen Chong held out his hand toward Xu Jun.

Xu Jun pulled a piece of paper from his bag. On it was a drawing of a plant, sketched in ballpoint pen.

Chen Chong had specifically copied it from the Jungle Compendium this morning, precisely for the Fishing Club.

Something like the Jungle Compendium couldn’t be revealed in front of everyone, only Xu Jun, Wang Biao, and a few others.

No one could guarantee an outsider wouldn’t get greedy. Chen Chong always kept one saying in mind: caution is the parent of safety. This was especially true in a place like this, a world they had been transported to where order was slowly collapsing...

"This is called a Vermilion Fruit. It’s a native plant of this Primitive Jungle and prefers to grow in areas like mudflats and swamps. Have your club members go into the jungle and gather them. The more, the better."

Zhong Fang took the drawing and studied it for a moment before looking up at Chen Chong.

"This thing can kill the Giant Catfish?"

"It can!" Chen Chong nodded.

The intel had indicated that the Vermilion Fruit was the Unihorn Catfish’s weakness. It contained a special substance that could severely weaken it.

The Jungle Compendium also had information recorded about it.

[Name: Vermilion Fruit]

[Type: Plant]

[Description: Edible. A small, crimson fruit the color of cinnabar. Mostly grows in wet, muddy areas like mudflats and swamps. Its flavor is sweet and sour, and it is a favorite among the various birds and beasts of the dense forest.]

Next to the text was a hand-drawn illustration.

Aside from not mentioning that it could weaken the Unihorn Catfish, almost all other information was described in the compendium.

Chen Chong didn’t know how many Vermilion Fruits it would take to affect the Unihorn Catfish. After all, the creature was massive. If the dose wasn’t enough, picking them would be a waste of time.

So, he decided to team up with the Fishing Club and have them collect Vermilion Fruits from all over the jungle. The more, the better.

Of course, the Fishing Club’s role didn’t end there. To hunt the Unihorn Catfish, feeding it Vermilion Fruits to weaken it was only the first step.

How to break its horn, how to kill it underwater, and even where to hunt it—all of these things required more thought and planning.

This would not only require taking risks, but also a sufficient number of people. Otherwise, Chen Chong wouldn’t have thought of bringing the Fishing Club on board.

He needed the Rare Cards and Secret Cards that dropped from Extraordinary Creatures.

The Fishing Club needed a safe environment for fishing.

Both sides had something they needed. Only then would they truly give it their all, even risk their lives!

"How do you know this fruit works on the Giant Catfish?" Zhong Fang was already tempted.

If the Giant Catfish was gone, his club wouldn’t have to worry about food anymore and could fish by the river in peace.

As long as they could get rid of the Giant Catfish, he was willing to do it, even if the mission was dangerous or cost lives.

But for the safety of his club members, he couldn’t just take Chen Chong’s word for it and lead so many people out to pick fruit for nothing.

’If it turns out to be useless, wasting time would be a minor issue. The real disaster would be failing to kill the Giant Catfish and losing a lot of lives in the process...’

"I once found a type of Card called a Secret Card. It recorded this piece of information. When you kill Extraordinary Creatures, Secret Cards can also appear, and they contain more secrets about this world we’ve been transported to."

Chen Chong made it up on the spot, though it wasn’t entirely a lie. Killing Extraordinary Creatures really could produce Secret Cards.

In any case, that kind of Card would appear after they hunted the Giant Catfish. Zhong Fang and the others would find out sooner or later. Revealing the existence of this Card now was harmless and would, in fact, strengthen their resolve to hunt Extraordinary Creatures.

"A Secret Card?" Zhong Fang was taken aback.

Just then, Xu Jun spoke up. "Don’t be so skeptical. Brother Chong wouldn’t lie to the Fishing Club just for fun. Ever since we got here, everyone’s been busy looking for food and resources. Nobody has the spare time to mess with people. Killing the Unihorn Catfish benefits your Fishing Club the most."

Zhong Fang was silent for a long time before he spoke again.

"If I’m not mistaken, you want to kill the Giant Catfish because of the recent rumor going around school that killing Extraordinary Creatures drops Rare Cards, right?"

Chen Chong: "And Secret Cards. I want to know more of the secrets."

Zhong Fang said, "Although we’ve only met twice, I don’t think you’re the type of person who does things recklessly."

"You want Rare Cards, and I want a safe hunting ground. In that case, I’ll trust you this once."

"I’ll immediately send someone to notify all our members who are out. They’re to stop fishing for the next two days, drop everything, and focus all their efforts on gathering these Vermilion Fruits in the jungle."

Chen Chong spoke again. "Since that’s settled, we have a partnership. But let me give you a heads-up: when the operation starts, I need you, and all the members of your Fishing Club, to follow my orders. You’ll do as I say. Don’t have everyone going off and doing their own thing, ignoring commands. If that’s how it’s going to be, I’d rather just figure out how to hunt it myself."

Zhong Fang nodded. "Don’t worry. As long as we can kill the Giant Catfish, forget just listening to you—even if you told me to get on all fours and bark like a dog, I wouldn’t refuse."

"..."

"That won’t be necessary."

...

Chen Chong and his group left the Fishing Club.

Both parties had come to an agreement. For the next two days, they would focus all their efforts on gathering Vermilion Fruits, and that included Chen Chong’s group.

As for the Cards that might drop after successfully killing the Unihorn Catfish...

The information on any Secret Cards would be shared by both parties.

If there was only one or two Rare Cards, they would all go to Chen Chong’s side.

If three Cards appeared, the Fishing Club could take one.

If there were more, they would decide how to distribute them then.

In short, aside from the Secret Cards, most of the Cards dropped from killing the Extraordinary Creature would belong to Chen Chong’s side.

After all, he was the one who provided the method for killing the Unihorn Catfish.

The existence of this Extraordinary Giant Beast also had the greatest impact on the Fishing Club.

When it came to killing it, the Fishing Club wanted it dead more than anyone else. For others, it wasn’t as big of a deal.

As long as they could get rid of the Unihorn Catfish and create a safe fishing environment, that was the greatest benefit for the Fishing Club...

"Brother Chen Chong, you surprise me more and more. You even found a Secret Card? And you’re already preparing to hunt an Extraordinary Creature right after I joined. This all feels so surreal!"

Walking through the jungle, Zhang Meng marveled.

He used to think Chen Chong’s group was just good at hunting, able to take down a several-hundred-pound Moose while others were still catching wild rabbits and mountain rats, or even just digging up wild vegetables.

And now...

First, it was setting up a traditional Chinese medicine clinic, then the Salt Well Card, and now hunting an Extraordinary Creature.

’Why does this team only do extraordinary things?!’

"What? Scared?" Chen Chong asked with a faint smile.

"Scared?" Zhang Meng immediately puffed out his chest. "That word isn’t in my vocabulary! I’m telling you now, when it’s time to hunt the Giant Catfish, I’ll be on the front lines. Since I just joined, I have to prove myself!"

"Good. That’s all I need to hear."

"So are we going to look for Vermilion Fruits now?"

"That’s right. I know a place where there might be a large number of Vermilion Fruits."

Xu Jun joined the conversation. "Brother Chong, are you talking about that grove of short trees to the north?"

"Yes."

Chen Chong nodded. The last time they were coming back, they had run into a squad that had been stung by poisonous hornets.

From them, he learned that there was a grove of short trees north of the school, home to fist-sized poisonous hornets. There was also a mudflat there.

Since Vermilion Fruits liked to grow in that kind of environment, there was a good chance they would find some.

Yesterday’s intel also indicated that a wild boar would be foraging nearby in that grove for the next seven days.

This was a perfect opportunity to check it out. If they could find the wild boar’s tracks and successfully hunt it, their food reserves at home would grow even larger.

After all, even though the last Moose was large, after several resource exchanges and meals, there were only about a couple hundred pounds left.

With more and more people on the team, their consumption rate would also increase.

Pheasants and wild rabbits were too small; each catch was only enough for a single meal.

’I have to find a way to hunt more large game...’

"Brother Chong, there’s a wolf on the ground!"

"An Overlord Wolf!"

Xu Jun cried out in alarm, and Zhang Meng’s expression changed as well.

There, on the ground deep in the dense woods, lay a strange wolf weighing over a hundred pounds, with atrophied forelimbs and extremely thick, powerful hind legs.

It was unmistakably an Overlord Wolf, the same kind they had encountered at the back gate on their first day here!

Of course, "Overlord Wolf" was just what everyone called it. Only Chen Chong knew that the real name for this wolf-like creature was Fear Wolf.

And this creature was also recorded in detail in the Jungle Compendium...

"Why is a Fear Wolf dead here?"

"Fear Wolf?" Zhang Meng was surprised. ’Why does Chen Chong call it something different than I do? Does he know where this thing came from?’

"It looks like... it was hacked to death with a blade!"

The Fear Wolf on the ground was covered in dozens of wounds, some so deep you could see the bone. Blood was still flowing from them.

Judging by the clean cuts, these were definitely not bite marks from another beast. They were marks left by sharp weapons like swords, blades, or axes.

Before they could figure out what was going on, they looked up...

Not far away, another Fear Wolf lay in a pool of blood.

It too was covered in slash marks and had lost its life.

"What’s going on here?"

The group was confused, completely unable to understand who could have done this.

’Why are there only Fear Wolf corpses, but no sign of the "killer"?’

’Was it students from the school with sharp weapons?’

’Or is there some other special creature that can inflict such clean wounds?’

Just then...

AWOOO—

A series of low howls echoed from the distance.

They were accompanied by other strange, unidentifiable sounds.

Everyone’s heart skipped a beat.

’Did we run into a wolf pack?’

’Besides the Fear Wolves, who else is up ahead...?’

...
