Chapter 189: Chapter 129: Full-Scale Spiritual Energy Recovery

Jiang Wanqiao smiled and continued, "Besides using the key card, you can also open the door with fingerprint or facial recognition, or by manually entering a passcode. You can set the passcode yourselves after you get to your dorms and open the door."

Gu Qing nodded. "Okay, I got it."

Jiang Wanqiao offered a faint smile. "Well, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be going. If you have any questions, just find me on WeChat anytime."

Gu Qing was puzzled. "Aren’t you going to sit and eat with us?"

"I’ll pass."

Jiang Wanqiao smiled and politely declined. "I prefer getting my food to go and eating in my dorm. I don’t really like eating in the cafeteria."

Since she’d put it that way, Gu Qing didn’t insist. "Alright, then I’ll treat you to a meal next time."

"Okay, we’ll eat together next time."

Jiang Wanqiao said with a slight smile.

After saying that, she went to order a bowl of beef noodle soup, telling the chef she wanted it to go.

Noodles are the kind of food that cooks in an instant—a quick dip in a hot pot is all it takes.

In less than two minutes, Jiang Wanqiao had her steaming bowl of beef noodle soup packed up and was walking out of the cafeteria.

Actually, before entering the cafeteria, she had been planning to eat with Gu Qing and Xia Shuran.

It was only after coming in and seeing Wu Jiahao and Liu Yue there as well that she decided to get her food to go and eat in her dorm.

It wasn’t that she had a problem with those two; it was simply that there were too many Extraordinary Awakened at that one table.

As a normal person, it would be very stressful for her to force her way into the group.

To put it bluntly, all Extraordinary Awakened were a cut above the rest, high and mighty.

As a normal person, she wasn’t qualified to sit and eat with so many of those elites.

The only reason she felt comfortable getting close to Gu Qing and entertaining romantic thoughts about him was because she believed he was just an Extraordinary Contactor with low potential for future growth.

If she, a normal person, worked hard enough, she should be able to reach his level.

After all, she was a top student who had graduated from the prestigious Jinghai University.

Among normal people, she was definitely the cream of the crop.

For someone like her, pairing up with an Extraordinary Contactor who didn’t have a particularly high ceiling wasn’t an unreasonable goal.

However, what Jiang Wanqiao didn’t know was that the Gu Qing who had a low ceiling in her eyes actually had a higher potential than anyone else.

Her hitting on Gu Qing wasn’t just a simple case of reaching for someone above her station.

It was pure fantasy. A daydream.

...

「Half an hour later.」

Gu Qing and the other three finished their meal, left the cafeteria, and walked together toward Dorm Building 8.

They were all members of the same Extraordinary Awakened Squad, so their dorms had been assigned on the same floor.

Wu Jiahao was in room 605.

Liu Yue was next door in room 606.

Just as they were about to reach their dorms, they suddenly received a notice from their instructor, Zhao Chuan, telling them to gather at the entrance of the Night Court’s conference hall immediately.

It said that the big boss of the Night Court—the Court Master, who was the strongest person there—would be holding a meeting in the conference hall in half an hour.

This meeting was especially important.

There was a major announcement to be made.

All available Extraordinary Awakened were required to attend.

Although Gu Qing wasn’t an Extraordinary Awakened, he had to go attend as a member of an Awakened Squad.

"It’s the middle of the night, how can they just call a meeting all of a sudden without any warning? I was planning on going back to the dorm and gaming my heart out."

Wu Jiahao couldn’t help but complain.

The other three didn’t say anything, just silently hurried in the direction of the conference hall.

Gu Qing, however, picked up his pace.

Just now, during dinner, he had been thinking that the powerhouses with top-tier Extraordinary labels rarely appeared in public, and it would be difficult for him to ever see them.

He never expected that right after dinner, he’d get news that the Court Master was calling a meeting—the kind that all Extraordinary Awakened had to attend.

’Isn’t this the perfect opportunity for me to check the labels of all the powerhouses in the Night Court?’

’This is a godsend!’

Gu Qing grew excited just thinking about it.

...

「A few minutes later.」

Gu Qing and the others arrived at the base of the building where the conference hall was located.

They hadn’t even entered the building yet, still several meters from the entrance, when they sensed a massive and extremely oppressive biological pressure emanating from within.

"Holy crap, this pressure is intense! I can barely breathe just getting close."

Wu Jiahao clutched his chest, a shocked expression on his face.

Xia Shuran and Liu Yue felt the same way, as if a giant boulder was crushing their chests, making it hard to breathe.

Gu Qing felt no discomfort. He spoke to the other three in a calm tone, "Try to relax your bodies and your minds. It might not feel so bad then."

With that, he quickened his pace toward the building, eager to see the labels of the Extraordinary Powerhouses inside.

One step.

Two steps.

Three steps...

Gu Qing strode into the building and quickly found the conference hall by following the signs hanging from the ceiling.

The moment he arrived at the entrance to the conference hall, he saw a dense, overwhelming number of top-tier Extraordinary labels.

There were so many he could barely take them all in.

[Mechanical Augmented People]

[Dream Stealer]

[Daddy]

[Hypnosis Master]

[Forest’s Son]

[...]

Normally, Gu Qing would have widened his eyes and carefully examined each and every one of these top-tier Extraordinary labels.

But right now, he couldn’t care less.

It wasn’t that he had changed.

Rather, his superhuman hearing had picked up on some faint murmurs from inside the conference hall, and through them, he’d heard a piece of utterly shocking news.

’Earth is actually about to undergo a full-scale Spiritual Energy Recovery?’
