Whole School Transmigrated: I Have 3 Daily Intel

"A gift for me?"

"Yes. Take it."

Without another word, Ning Yu thrust the sheathed Tang Blade into Chen Chong’s hands.

"If you give this to me, what will you use?"

Ning Yu said, "I’m not giving you my own blade, of course. This is my spare. I noticed you don’t have many weapons, just a dagger, so I’m giving this to you. Consider it partial compensation for saving my life."

"Also, I examined the wounds on this Fear Wolf. We didn’t kill it. It must have been the one you killed on your way here, so I brought it over for you."

Chen Chong had a sudden realization. ’So that’s what this is about.’

’I guess carrying just a dagger does look pretty pathetic.’

Just by looking at it, he could tell this Tang Blade was finely crafted and expensive, probably forged from high-quality steel.

It was far superior to weapons made of Refined Iron!

’If this were a weapon from a Card, it would be at least B-Level. At the very minimum, you’d need a C+ to have a chance of it dropping...’

’This gift is truly precious.’

"Well, thank you."

Chen Chong wasn’t one for false modesty. Since it was a gift and he happened to need a decent weapon, there was no reason to refuse.

"Mhm." Ning Yu nodded.

Chen Chong looked at her.

The two of them just stood there at the door, and the atmosphere grew a little awkward.

"Is... there something else?"

Ning Yu’s red lips moved as if she wanted to say something but was holding back. After a long hesitation, she finally spoke. "Can I see... that Card of yours?"

"The Card?"

Chen Chong paused, his mind flashing to the Comprehensive Enhancement Card that had dropped from the Terror Wolf King.

After fumbling around in his bag for a moment, he took out the Card, which was glowing with a blue light.

Ning Yu didn’t touch it, merely observing it from a distance.

After a long while, she finally looked away.

"Did this Card appear after you killed the Terror Wolf King?"

"Yes." Chen Chong didn’t hide it and nodded.

"Then the rumors were true..."

Ning Yu murmured to herself, her brow slightly furrowed.

"What?" Chen Chong hadn’t quite heard her.

"It’s nothing." Ning Yu turned and walked away, quickly disappearing around the corner of the hallway.

She left a stunned Chen Chong behind.

However, their brief half-day interaction had given him a bit of insight into the genius girl’s personality.

Although she appeared cold and was a woman of few words, she was quite good to those around her. She was the type who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

’It’s just that her actions are sometimes a bit hard to figure out.’

Chen Chong didn’t dwell on it. He closed the door again and returned inside.

SHIIING—

He drew the Tang Blade from its sheath. Even in the dim room, a brilliant, cold gleam flashed across the blade.

"What a fine blade!"

Seeing this, Wang Biao came over, his face full of admiration.

"You can feel its extreme sharpness just by looking at it. A material of this quality is truly far superior to ordinary steel."

Ancient dynasties didn’t just use iron to forge weapons; they were also skilled in using steel.

However, their technology was limited and the craftsmanship was average, so naturally, they couldn’t produce steel blades comparable to modern ones.

The Tang Blade Ning Yu had given him was clearly forged with modern techniques, its quality far surpassing that of ancient steel blades.

Looking at the gleaming blade and the intricately carved hilt, the entire weapon was as magnificent as a work of art.

The more Chen Chong looked at it, the more he liked it.

’Ning Yu’s gift is too valuable.’

’From now on, I finally have a proper weapon of my own...’

He sheathed the blade.

Chen Chong walked out to the balcony.

Wang Biao was explaining how to make salt to a laborer squatting beside him.

Nearby, Jia Wen and Xu Jun were skinning the wolves and gutting them.

They had learned from the Swordsmanship Club that Fear Wolf meat was edible.

This wasn’t their first time hunting Fear Wolves; they had already hunted them twice in the past few days.

Perhaps that was why the Terror Wolf King held a grudge against them.

It had deliberately used a few lone Fear Wolves as bait to lure them into a trap deep in the dense, hard-to-escape forest, where more than ten other Fear Wolves appeared and surrounded them.

If Chen Chong’s group hadn’t arrived in time, the members of the Swordsmanship Club would have likely met a grisly end...

"Zhang Meng, Huang Mao, this Fear Wolf is for you."

As Chen Chong spoke, he tossed a small Fear Wolf, weighing over seventy pounds, at their feet.

This had been decided on the way back.

Anyone in the team who contributed during a hunt would get a share of the prey.

It was fair for everyone; each person received their portion based on their contribution.

This time, they had hunted a total of four Fear Wolves.

One Terror Wolf King and three ordinary Fear Wolves.

The Terror Wolf King was killed by Chen Chong, Wang Biao, and the Tiger Striped Dog, so it naturally belonged to them.

Jia Wen killed one Fear Wolf by himself, which rightfully went to Xu Jun.

Another was killed by Jia Wen, Wang Biao, and the Tiger Striped Dog.

The last one was killed through the combined efforts of Xu Jun, Zhang Meng, and Huang Mao.

Since it was the two’s first day, and Xu Jun had at least a wolf and a half’s worth of meat to his name already, he decided to just give the remaining one to them.

Xu Jun had no objections to this arrangement.

After all, that wolf was the smallest of the four.

Besides, the four of them—Chen Chong, Xu Jun, Wang Biao, and Jia Wen—pooled all their spoils together anyway, not drawing any lines between them.

Staring at the Fear Wolf on the ground, Zhang Meng and Huang Mao felt a little embarrassed.

Xu Jun, who was gutting a Fear Wolf nearby, clapped Zhang Meng on the shoulder with a blood-covered hand.

"Brother Chong said to take it, so take it. Now that you’ve joined our team, just work hard, and next year Brother Chong will find you a wife!"

"Fuck!"

Zhang Meng burst out laughing, and the awkward atmosphere dissipated considerably.

"Then thank you, Brother Chen Chong. Don’t worry, I, Zhang Meng, am not the type to shy away from trouble. I won’t say more. My actions will speak for themselves from now on!"

Chen Chong nodded. "When you get back, remember to process it quickly, or the meat will spoil."

"Understood!" Zhang Meng smiled, then bent down to work on the brine again, teaching the laborer beside him with even more earnestness.

"Ah Jun, besides the half a wolf that belongs to Xinrou, set aside a leg for her too. Pick a big one. We’ll send it down with her share later."

"Got it, Brother Chong."

Shen Xinrou had received one Fear Wolf as a medical fee for treating the people from the Swordsmanship Club.

Half of it was hers, while the other half went to Chen Chong, Xu Jun, and the others.

At the same time, even though she didn’t go out to hunt, as a member of the team doing logistics work, she was still entitled to a share of the spoils.

The extra wolf leg was set aside especially for her...

Although Chen Chong hadn’t yet created a detailed plan for distributing resources among team members, he always followed one principle.

Everyone would get their own share.

As long as they contributed to the team and to their survival, they would not be treated unfairly...

Suddenly, Xu Jun remembered something. "Brother Chong, do you think Xinrou will accept it if we take it down to her?"

Chen Chong paused. ’Probably not...’

Ever since Shen Xinrou started her practice at the Chinese medicine clinic, she had left all her earnings from the past two days here.

Every time they tried to give her a share, she would refuse, citing that she hadn’t finished paying for the apartment swap and that she needed to pay the "wages" of the laborer and maid.

Don’t be fooled by Shen Xinrou’s usually gentle personality. When it came to things like this, she was incredibly stubborn.

The kind that ten bulls couldn’t drag back.

"Forget it. Just process and cure her share along with ours. It’ll save us the trouble."

Chen Chong thought for a moment and decided not to take it downstairs. He’d probably just have to bring it back up anyway.

’Shen Xinrou lives on the first floor, very close to us, and she eats with us up here every day anyway. I’ll just keep track of her share in my head...’

"Alright!"

Xu Jun buried his head in his work again.

Meanwhile, the Tiger Striped Dog was squatting next to the Terror Wolf King’s corpse, looking at Chen Chong while pawing at the beast’s chest.

"You want some meat?"

WOOF!

The Tiger Striped Dog barked once and continued to paw at the corpse, as if trying to tell him it wanted something else.

Chen Chong frowned, unable to figure it out.

Back when they killed the Terror Wolf King in the thicket, the Tiger Striped Dog had been lapping up the blood flowing from its body nonstop.

Not counting what spilled on the ground, the Tiger Striped Dog had licked up nearly half the blood from the human-sized Terror Wolf King’s body.

Chen Chong and the others had no use for the wolf blood, so they didn’t stop the Tiger Striped Dog from eating its fill.

Even now, Chen Chong could still remember how bloated its stomach was when he held it to apply medicine. It was almost like a balloon.

"You want the innards?"

Chen Chong was puzzled.

He knew the Tiger Striped Dog was very smart. Not only were its physique and combat ability far beyond that of a normal hound, but so was its intelligence.

Seeing how anxious it was, Chen Chong used his dagger to cut open the Terror Wolf King’s chest, exposing the organs inside so it could choose for itself.

After sniffing around for a bit, the Tiger Striped Dog bit down on the Terror Wolf King’s heart, then squatted on the ground and looked at Chen Chong.

"You want to eat this?"

WOOF—

The Tiger Striped Dog let out a muffled bark.

"Alright, go ahead and eat."

Having gotten its master’s permission, the Tiger Striped Dog immediately carried the heart to the side, lay down, and began to eat it bite by bite.

It savored every bite, and in no time, it had devoured the pomelo-sized heart completely.

Its already round, swollen belly grew even bigger.

Chen Chong watched in amusement.

’Is this a personal preference of the Tiger Striped Dog... or do all hounds have a taste for this?’

’It contributed the most to killing the Terror Wolf King today, and it even got injured. Let it eat whatever it wants.’

He wouldn’t even bat an eye if it ate the entire wolf, let alone just its blood and heart. This was its reward.

"Brother Chong, are we going out again later?"

Xu Jun asked while processing the wolf meat.

Chen Chong glanced out the window. Although it was still bright out, it was already afternoon.

Zhang Meng’s hands-on lesson teaching the laborer how to make salt wouldn’t be over any time soon, and processing these few Fear Wolves on the ground would also take time...

"Let’s call it a day. We’ll go out again tomorrow."

"You got it. Once I’m done with this wolf, I’ll have Jia Wen start cooking. How about we have wolf meat for dinner tonight?"

"Sounds good!"

...

Time slowly passed, and in the blink of an eye, the sky began to darken...

Zhang Meng had finished teaching the laborer how to make salt.

Xu Jun and Wang Biao had also finished processing all three Fear Wolves. Aside from the bones and organs they had removed, all the pure meat was being cured in a basin of salt, waiting to be smoked the next day.

Shen Xinrou closed the door to the clinic and came up to the seventh floor.

Just as he had predicted, when Chen Chong told her to take the wolf meat downstairs, she refused on the spot.

"Alright, then. We’ll smoke it for you and keep it here. If you want some, just tell Ah Jun, and he’ll get it for you from the cellar."

Shen Xinrou shook her head. "No, I haven’t even finished paying off the cost of swapping for the clinic apartment."

Chen Chong said, "That cost isn’t on you, it’s on me. You just provide your skills. A portion of the resources earned from your practice is mine anyway."

Shen Xinrou shook her head again. "Then I also have to pay the laborer’s and the maid’s wages."

"Their wages are already covered by that other half."

"Still no. I don’t know how to smoke meat, so just leave it here. Besides, I come up to eat every day anyway."

Chen Chong: "..."

’Fine, whatever makes her happy.’

"Dinner’s ready!"

Jia Wen came into the living room carrying a large pot of wolf meat.

With Zhang Meng and Huang Mao joining them, they had stewed more meat this time, nearly filling the entire pot.

Everyone hurried to the table. After a long day, they were in desperate need of food.

He popped a piece of wolf meat into his mouth...

"It’s a little dry and tough, but it tastes pretty good!"

"This is my first time eating wolf meat. It’s actually delicious."

"The guys from the Swordsmanship Club weren’t lying. This stuff really is good..."

The group wolfed down their food, quickly cleaning out the large pot of meat.

Night had completely fallen.

After tending to the coarse salt and cured meat once more, everyone prepared to rest. After all, they had to wake up early the next day to gather Vermilion Fruit.

Shen Xinrou returned to her first-floor apartment.

Zhang Meng and Huang Mao carried their Fear Wolf back to the dormitory building.

Chen Chong went back to his room, checked the eagle egg in the incubator to make sure everything was normal, and then climbed into bed.

The Tiger Striped Dog was on the floor next to his bed.

Although Chen Chong didn’t let it on the bed, he had made a nest for it out of a spare quilt.

The Tiger Striped Dog lay comfortably in its nest, and soon, the sound of its snoring could be heard...

Chen Chong smiled, closed his eyes, and began to drift off to sleep.

「The next day, before dawn.」

Chen Chong’s eyes snapped open, just as they always did.

The moment he woke up, he froze.

’An A-Level piece of intel actually appeared again today!’

’And...’

’For the first time, there’s information about an Extraordinary Artifact!?’

...
