Whole School Transmigrated: I Have 3 Daily Intel

Xu Jun froze, stunned by the sudden appearance of an all-black raptor in the living room, staring right at him.

’My eyes must be playing tricks on me,’ he thought, deciding to try opening the door again.

He shut the door, then opened it.

He shut it again, then opened it again...

Watching Xu Jun’s bizarre behavior, Chen Chong couldn’t help but furrow his brow. "What are you doing, refreshing the room? Why do you keep opening and closing the door?"

"Huh? Brother Chong?" Xu Jun started, only then noticing Chen Chong standing off to the side.

The Lion-headed Goose resumed its patrol, but not before casting one last, human-like glance at Xu Jun, as if looking at a complete idiot...

...

"You’re telling me this thing is the Lion-headed Goose?"

Xu Jun was completely baffled after hearing Chen Chong’s explanation.

He stared, dumbfounded, at the Lion-headed Goose as it continued to leisurely patrol the room.

"No, but... this thing looks nothing like it did before. Are they even the same species?"

Chen Chong completely understood Xu Jun’s shock. The first time he’d seen the mutated Lion-headed Goose, he had nearly drawn his weapon as well.

"It did eat the Core Bloodthirsty Vine, after all. It probably absorbed a lot of the parasitic power stored inside, so a major change is to be expected. You’ll get used to it after a while."

"I know, but this change is just too drastic. Even Hu Zi didn’t change this much when he swallowed the Terror Wolf King’s heart."

"I don’t know why. In any case, besides its appearance, the Lion-headed Goose’s Loyalty Value is the same as before. Don’t worry about it. Just treat it like you always have. It’s not like it’s going to eat you."

"Alright..."

Xu Jun agreed out loud, but as he eyed the Lion-headed Goose’s new, blade-like beak, he made a firm mental note not to tease it for fun anymore.

Otherwise, getting pecked again wouldn’t just be a matter of pain...

"Oh, right, Brother Chong. My settlement this morning reached B-, and I got an Ability Card. Take a look."

Xu Jun took a Card from his bag and handed it over.

"An Ability Card?"

Chen Chong took it and read its contents with curiosity.

[Card Type: Ability Card · Turtle Defense]

[Rating: B-Level]

[Description: Upon use, you can mimic a turtle to form a Turtle Shell-like shield, capable of withstanding damage several times greater than your own durability. However, during use, you must be on all fours and cannot move. The shield’s duration and strength vary based on the user’s power.]

[Note: The Ability Card’s effect is permanent. If a higher-tier card of the same ability is integrated, it will directly overwrite the lower-tier card’s ability and slightly enhance it.]

Chen Chong had a strange look on his face.

This was the first time he’d seen an ability that required a specific posture to activate.

’The ability seems pretty good, but why... does it feel so odd?’

Being unable to move was understandable, but being on all fours...

’Is it supposed to be mimicking a turtle?’

"Brother Chong, what do you think of this Card?"

"It’s not bad. The activation requirement is a bit weird, but it should be very practical."

"How about you use it?"

"Hmm?"

Looking at Xu Jun’s face, if it weren’t for his sincere expression, Chen Chong would have suspected he was only offering the Card because he didn’t want to act like a turtle himself.

"I don’t want it. You use it."

"Brother Chong, you gave me a Comprehensive Enhancement Card yesterday. If I get something good, I can’t forget about you!"

Xu Jun tried to hand it over again, but Chen Chong forcefully pushed it back.

"Just use it yourself. Things like Ability Cards aren’t easy to come by. Among the four Card Types, they’re the rarest."

"Over the past eleven days, out of the thousand-plus people in our school, I doubt even one percent of them have an Ability Card. Besides me, you’re probably the only one who’s gotten a B-Level Ability Card."

"The fact that you got an Ability Card—and a pretty good one at that—from a B- Rating is great. If you use it, it’ll significantly increase your chances of survival when you run into danger."

Chen Chong wasn’t just making this up; his words were backed by intelligence he’d verified this morning.

[A-Level Intelligence: Cards are primarily divided into four types: Resource Cards, Building Cards, Recruitment Cards, and Ability Cards, in increasing order of rarity. Cards appear randomly in the wild each day based on the difficulty of the ecosystem. In a beginner-difficulty zone, one can only find D- and C-Class Cards, with an extremely low probability of finding B-Level Cards. In an intermediate-difficulty zone, D-Class, C-Class, and B-Level Cards will appear, with an extremely low probability of finding an A-Level Card. In an advanced-difficulty zone, it’s possible for S-Class Cards to appear.]

When Chen Chong first saw this intelligence, he couldn’t help but recall his own experiences finding Cards.

No wonder the best he had ever found was a B-Level Card, even with the help of intelligence. It turned out that the Primitive Jungle, being a beginner-difficulty zone, only produced B-Level Cards at best.

With the probability of even a B-Level Card appearing being so low, it was naturally almost impossible to find an Ability Card, the rarest of all Card Types, in the wild.

The best way to obtain an Ability Card was through the daily settlement.

However, the daily gains for most students from the school were limited. They might pick some wild fruit, dig up some wild herbs, and maybe catch a few fish. At most, they’d hunt some small prey.

When all these gains were added up, their settlement was either D-Class or C-Class. Very few ever broke through to B-Level, so how could they possibly hope to obtain the rarest type of B-Level Card, an Ability Card?

Unless they hunted Extraordinary Creatures.

Xu Jun had only managed to get a B- because he had participated in the hunt for the Unihorn Catfish under his leadership.

Anyone else would have been incapable of achieving that...

He was truly fortunate to have gotten this Ability Card today.

Chen Chong himself already had five Ability Cards, so there was no reason for him to take the one Xu Jun had worked so hard to get.

Although Xu Jun had been strengthened by the Comprehensive Enhancement Card, his power was still too weak compared to his own. Using this new card would at least raise his combat capabilities a little, giving them a better chance in future hunts for Extraordinary Creatures.
