"There's definitely danger."
Gu Xintong nodded, "However, the professors will take safety precautions, and participation is entirely voluntary."
Zhang Qingzhe immediately said, "Then I suggest you don't get involved."
Gu Xintong felt a warmth in her heart, and a small touch of emotion stirred within her.
But after thinking for a moment, Gu Xintong shook her head.
"I still want to go in and take a look."
"I heard that your company produces mood candies?" Zhang Qingzhe suddenly asked.
Gu Xintong was stunned for a moment.
She originally didn't want to reveal her family background—
Because of her family background, she has never been able to make any close friends.
Most of the people who approached her were interested in her family background and wealth.
She originally intended to maintain a simple friendship with Zhang Qingzhe.
Upon hearing this, she asked in surprise, "How did you know?"
"Professor Xia told me."
Gu Xintong pouted angrily.
She thought to herself: There must be a reason why I hate witches.
These guys are always causing her trouble, both openly and secretly.
"Then why did you ask that?" Gu Xintong asked, pouting.
She thought that Zhang Qingzhe's attitude would change after he learned about her family background.
The pure feeling of getting along with classmates will never be the same as before; instead, considerations of self-interest will be mixed in.
But to Gu Xintong's surprise, Zhang Qingzhe was still the same as before.
He sipped his milk tea slowly, seemingly unconcerned about Gu Xintong's family background, and asked very rationally, "Your family is so rich, why do you still want to go to the Dragon Disaster Area? Why don't you take my advice and stay at school? It's really too dangerous there. I don't want to see you next time with a hole pierced through your chest by a spineless wolf."
So that's what he was after.
Gu Xintong breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
This boy is definitely different.
Even knowing that he was extremely wealthy, he was not tempted in the slightest and treated himself the same as before.
Instead, they used this reason to persuade themselves to stay away from danger.
Gu Xintong thought for a moment before saying softly, "Didn't I tell you there's a witch in the house?"
"Yeah, but what does that have to do with you going on an adventure?"
"I don't want to be the most useless person in my family."
Zhang Qingzhe roughly understood.
It turns out that this willful young lady wanted to prove herself.
"Alright then," Zhang Qingzhe sighed, "but I still have to say, you must be very careful. The situation there is extremely complicated."
"Don't worry," Gu Xintong blinked, "Don't forget, I still have a chance to be resurrected."
"That's true." Zhang Qingzhe nodded slightly.
"Then let me tell you what I've seen in the Dragon Disaster Zone."
"Mmm!" Gu Xintong nodded seriously.
This time, the two of them turned around and finally faced each other.
The waitress in the distance was so touched by what she saw.
She now wishes she could give them both double-ended straws so they could drink from the same cup of milk tea.
Zhang Qingzhe spoke to Gu Xintong for a long time, giving a general overview of the danger level within the Dragon Disaster area.
It was getting dark outside the window.
The sky darkened, and the stars began to twinkle.
The moon, like a small boat, drifted gently through the clouds.
The streetlights lit up one by one, like eyes watching people go home from get off work.
The two had finished discussing their matters and were preparing to go home.
But before getting up to leave, Zhang Qingzhe remembered something else.
He fumbled in his pocket for a moment and pulled out a piece of candy that his sister had given him.
"Is this candy produced by your company?"
Gu Xintong took it curiously and examined the exquisite packaging carefully.
"That's probably true. And this is a high-end product. You actually eat such expensive candy?"
"I didn't buy it; my sister gave it to me."
"Your sister?" Gu Xintong blinked. "She's quite wealthy."
Zhang Qingzhe frowned.
He just can't understand it when it comes to this matter.
I don't know what kind of part-time job my sister does, but she can afford so many mood candies.
He then got to the point: "So, how much does this piece of candy cost approximately?"
"I need to check this when I get back." Gu Xintong took the candy and stuffed it into her pocket. "But I reckon it's definitely not cheap."
"Okay! Tell me the answer next time."
The two walked out of the milk tea shop while talking.
The waitress squinted, crossed her arms, and suddenly felt dizzy.
The interaction of giving her candy just now was so sweet that her blood sugar was about to spike.
Gu Xintong's statement about going to the Dragon Disaster area to participate in a live-fire simulation was confirmed a few days later.
This is said to be unprecedented because this type of test is mainly aimed at senior students who want to obtain a hunter's license.
Many students don't know why, but this year, first-year students are required to sign up.
Of course, everything was voluntary.
It was simply too dangerous.
Zhang Qingzhe could roughly guess the reason.
The reason is simply that the [Dragon Plague Zone] is becoming increasingly unstable, and the erosion is likely to spread into the city.
Therefore, the school needs to select students in advance who are capable of fighting against the dragon calamity.
Zhang Qingzhe originally wanted to skip the event and not participate.
But Xia Qiwei kept her eyes on him, insisting that he participate.
Moreover, his "suddenly appearing mother" sent him a message, asking him to take good care of his "cousin" during the upcoming tests.
This left him somewhat helpless, forcing him to get involved.
The weather was somewhat overcast on the day of the live-fire exercise.
The sun tried its best to pierce through the clouds with its sunlight.
But it failed time and time again, and in the end could only cast mottled and dim light and shadow.
The wind suddenly picked up and began to blow, making a series of whistling sounds as it swept through the dense forest on the hillside.
The college prepared a bus to carry the first batch of students up the winding mountain road.
Before long, they arrived at the outskirts of the [Dragon Disaster Zone].
As soon as they approached the high-voltage fence of the checkpoint, some students couldn't help but change their expressions.
Even Zheng Hangfei, who was originally very assertive, and Zhou Keming, who often considered himself to be "first in the grade," couldn't help but become serious.
Some of the more timid students even turned pale and bluish-white, and their breathing became disordered.
As soon as the car stopped, several people rushed out and squatted by the roadside to vomit.
The grand pronouncements made during registration have now turned into a pathetic mess of vomit.
Zheng Hangfei is still holding on.
He glanced around at the people getting off the bus but didn't see Zhang Qingzhe.
He immediately revealed a smug look and said to Zhou Keming, "Where did your class's number one go? It seems he's only good in the [Dream Simulation], but he becomes a coward in real combat."
