Whole School Transmigrated: I Have 3 Daily Intel

Jia Wen and Wang Biao woke up.

They heated up the fish soup left in the cellar from last night, and with that, the four of them were done with breakfast.

"Brother Chong, are you really going?" Xu Jun’s face was full of worry.

Chen Chong said, "This is an opportunity. I have to go."

’I happen to have an incubator. If I can really hatch a Stone Claw Eagle’s egg and tame it, I might be able to ride Extraordinary Creatures.’

’Even if I can’t tame it, the egg of an Extraordinary Creature will surely be a huge help for my Rating.’

’Maybe I can even get an A-Level Rating, something I’ve never achieved before...’

"But that’s an Extraordinary Creature with a thirty-meter wingspan! It’s as big as a monster! It’s too dangerous. If it comes to it, how about Jia Wen and I go with you?"

Chen Chong shook his head. "It’s precisely because it’s too dangerous that I’m not letting you go. For this kind of risky mission, the fewer people, the better."

’I have a beast-like intuition that lets me sense danger ahead of time. If something really goes wrong, Wang Biao might be able to escape with his skills.’

’But Xu Jun wouldn’t make it. If I can’t look out for him, he’ll be in danger.’

’Besides, I don’t even know how big the eagle egg is yet.’

’The Stone Claw Eagle has a thirty-meter wingspan. What if the egg is several meters wide? Getting it back would be a huge pain.’

’If I can’t get the egg, this trip will be a total waste, aside from checking the traps on the way.’

’Every day since we crossed over is precious. If Xu Jun and Jia Wen stay home, they can take care of other things, so we won’t end up with nothing to show for it.’

’I’m taking a gamble.’

’Risk and reward are often proportional.’

’It all comes down to whether I’ll end up bearing the risk or reaping the reward...’

"Ah Jun, I have a mission for you here at home too. Today, take Shen Xinrou and see if there are any rooms on the first floor of the apartment building we can trade for. We’ll use it as a place for her to see patients."

"This will give us another way to get resources, and we can use her treating people to build up goodwill, which will be beneficial for our future actions."

"I figure the Recruitment Cards can also summon people with medical skills. Just because we haven’t seen one yet doesn’t mean we won’t. The sooner she becomes the first doctor in the school, the better. The first person to eat crab always gets more than the second."

"Also, you need to make a trip to the Fishing Club to trade for some fish. Although the fish traps in the pond catch live fish, they’re mostly small. We need to add some bigger fish, so we’ll need to make a few more trades to have enough."

Xu Jun nodded upon hearing this. "Alright, got it, Brother Chong."

Chen Chong and Wang Biao stood up, grabbed their backpacks and weapons, and were about to head out when Chen Chong suddenly remembered something.

"Right, no need to trade for more supplies for now; our short-term storage is sufficient. When you go to trade for the room and the fish, you can’t use the old prices. One pound of our stuff should get at least three pounds of live fish, or the equivalent value of four packs of instant noodles."

The one hundred-plus pounds of fresh venison they had set aside was long gone. All that was left was cured venison.

This venison had shrunk significantly. The initial three hundred pounds of fresh meat used for the three types of smoking and drying had yielded only a little over two hundred pounds after being processed.

The venison was now more preservable and the meat denser, so naturally, its value in trade had to rise accordingly.

"Got it, Brother Chong. I’m not an idiot."

"Good."

"Oh, right, here’s this axe for you..."

...

「The sky was beginning to lighten.」

Chen Chong and Wang Biao walked single file through the jungle.

Before setting out, they had geared up. They wore black, quick-drying, tight-fitting short-sleeved shirts, abrasion-resistant, thick-soled work pants, and hiking boots with superior grip.

They had traded for this gear not long ago from a group of students who were into mountain climbing...

Wang Biao carried a fish container in one hand and a spear in the other, with a hiking pack and a wooden bow on his back.

Chen Chong also carried a large hiking pack, a dagger at his waist, and a Fire Axe in his hand.

"Sir, if we maintain this pace, we should arrive in about seven to eight hours."

Gazing at the distant, faintly visible mountain peak, Chen Chong felt a sense of helplessness.

It didn’t look that far, yet it would still take seven to eight hours to get there, and that was with them already moving at an accelerated pace.

’The saying "a mountain in sight can run a horse to death" is no exaggeration...’

"Alright. We should be reaching the grassy plains soon. Let’s see if we’ve caught anything."

The high mountain where the Stone Claw Eagle lived was in the same southern direction as the grassy plains, so it was convenient to check their traps along the way.

If they had caught any prey, they had to get it out of the traps first.

Otherwise, after a round trip of more than ten hours, the animals would probably be stiff and dead by the time they returned...

After arriving at the grassy plains, Wang Biao was the first to dive in.

To save time, Chen Chong didn’t just stand around. He headed toward the stream to check the bird nets and fish traps.

Their luck wasn’t great today, at least not with the bird nets.

The large net hadn’t caught any more wild ducks, only a dozen or so palm-sized birds. All but two were still alive.

Chen Chong lowered the net, untangled them one by one, then snapped their necks and put them in his pack.

After setting the net back up, Wang Biao emerged from the tall grass with a smile on his face.

"Sir, we got lucky today! Caught two wild rabbits, one male and one female, and both are alive! One of them is a little small, but it’ll grow fast if we raise it!"

Looking at the two wild rabbits before him—one big, one small, both full of life and energy—Chen Chong smiled too.

’Counting the one in the cage back home, that makes one buck and two does. Three wild rabbits in total.’

’Finally, I’ve got a successful pairing for the wild rabbits. They can start breeding now...’

"The bird nets came up empty, but the wild rabbits are a nice surprise. Not bad."

"Yes, this grassy plain is rich with wild rabbits. I’ve already reset the traps, so I’m sure we’ll have another catch tomorrow."

As Wang Biao spoke, he tied up the two wild rabbits with a rope and tossed them into his backpack, leaving only their heads sticking out to breathe, just like before.

Chen Chong was in a great mood. Now, there was just one last fish trap to check...

SPLASH—

With the sound of splashing water, the fish trap was pulled up. The fish inside were thrashing wildly, filling half the cage.

Although it wasn’t a monster haul like the first day, a catch like this was still acceptable.

Chen Chong didn’t rush to put these fish into the fish container. Unlike the wild rabbits, the fish were heavy and inconvenient to carry.

Instead of putting them in the container, it was better to leave them in the water to keep them lively. He could pick them up on the way back.

’Besides, the Desolate Grass River Stream is on the only path. There’s no way to bypass it on the way there or back...’

"Let’s get going."

After placing the fish container in a relatively hidden spot on the bank, Chen Chong and Wang Biao took off their boots and slowly waded across the stream.

The stream wasn’t deep; even at its center, the water barely reached their chests.

Although their clothes got wet, in this hot weather, they just had to wring them out. The moisture would evaporate within two hours, so it wasn’t a problem at all.

"Let’s go. I hope we can make it before noon..."

After putting his boots back on, Chen Chong sighed as he looked at the mountain peak, which still looked so close, yet felt so far away.

...

「Before they knew it, it was noon.」

About seven hours had passed since Chen Chong and Wang Biao had left the school.

The two hadn’t stopped for a moment, sometimes walking fast, sometimes running. In seven hours, they had covered a distance that would take a normal person more than twelve hours.

Exhausted, they had finally reached their destination.

They were now halfway up the mountainside...

This mountain had only a single, towering peak. The path up was all rock, with very little grass, few trees, and even a scarcity of soil.

Countless arm-thick vines clung to the cliff faces, blanketing most of the barren mountain.

The mountain where the Stone Claw Eagle nested was completely different from most mountains one might imagine, exuding an aura of desolation and solitude.

If it weren’t for stealing the egg, Chen Chong would never have even considered climbing this mountain...
