Chapter 197: Chapter 133: Attribute of the Spiritual Mind Master Tag

After giving the dormitory a quick look, Gu Qing and the others left the international student building to find Lin Tianyang and Ma Dongyu for an update.

On the way, Xia Shuran couldn’t help but remark:

"Senior, I can’t believe our school’s international student dorms are so luxurious. They’re almost as nice as our dorms at Night Court Headquarters."

"They certainly are."

Gu Qing nodded in agreement but didn’t comment further.

Liu Yue smiled and said, "International students usually come from wealthy families. They’re used to a comfortable life, so it’s only right to give them better accommodations. If the living conditions are too poor, they might not choose to study here. Or they’ll just endure it until they graduate, then go home and leave a terrible review that damages the university’s international reputation. The school doesn’t want any of that."

"..."

Wu Jiahao was unconvinced. "Just call it what it is: sucking up to foreigners. Don’t try to hide behind ’international reputation.’ Have some shame! The way I see it, Hai City University just sucks. All it knows is how to please foreign students, but it can’t be bothered to treat its own students better. Even the vocational college I went to had more backbone than this! I wouldn’t attend this place even if they paid me!"

"..."

Liu Yue shot back, "We undergrads are talking. A vocational school student like you should stay out of it."

Wu Jiahao laughed. "I went to the best public vocational college in Hai City—the Jinghai University of vocational schools. Not only was the tuition cheap, but I actually learned real skills. You’re just some study-abroad leech who mooches off her parents. Who are you to talk down to me?"

Liu Yue retorted, "Yeah, yeah, you’re right!"

Bickering back and forth, the group soon arrived at a temporary office on campus.

Inside, several Security Officers were busy at their computers.

"I’m looking for Lin Tianyang and Ma Dongyu."

Zhao Chuan had approached one of the Security Officers at a leisurely pace and stopped. He flashed his Night Court credentials with an air of superiority as he spoke, his face devoid of expression.

The Security Officer glanced at the credentials.

Seeing that Zhao Chuan was an Extraordinary Being from the Night Court, his attitude immediately became respectful. "Please wait a moment, sir. I’ll go get Brother Yang and Sister Yu right now."

With that, he got up and walked toward the back of the office.

「A moment later.」

Lin Tianyang and Ma Dongyu hurried out.

Both of them appeared to be injured.

The former had his right arm wrapped in a thick layer of gauze, while the latter was missing half the hair on her head.

Gu Qing looked at Ma Dongyu’s half-bald head.

He examined it closely and saw that her exposed scalp was reddish, like new skin that had just formed after an injury.

’The Rat God Cultists must be responsible for their injuries,’ Gu Qing thought.

At that moment, Zhao Chuan looked at Lin Tianyang and Ma Dongyu and said in a somewhat commanding tone, "Give me a detailed report on the situation here at Hai City University."

As he spoke, he adopted a very high-and-mighty posture, the very picture of a superior questioning his subordinates—a complete reversal of his attitude toward Gu Qing.

Not everyone was like Gu Qing, an Extraordinary Contactor who demonstrated both unparalleled immediate combat strength and limitless future potential.

The vast majority of Extraordinary Contactors were low-tier weaklings with extremely limited combat strength and potential.

And when faced with low-tier weaklings far beneath him, Zhao Chuan, being an Extraordinary Awakened, loved to act high and mighty to feel important.

His whole deal was basically: cower before the strong and strut before the weak.

Having toiled at the grassroots level of the Night Court for years, Lin Tianyang and Ma Dongyu were long used to this type of pompous Extraordinary Awakened.

Both of them knew how to play along. They humbly lowered their stance, put on smiles, and began to explain the situation at Hai City University to Zhao Chuan in detail.

It all began a few days ago, on a morning as ordinary as any other, when Gu Qing saw a girl who looked like Huang Xiaoyue in the woods near the entrance of Hai City University.

Following that, Lin Tianyang and Ma Dongyu led a group of Security Officers to investigate. They discovered two holes, each a meter in diameter—one in the woods and another near a women’s dormitory building at Hai City University.

Afterward, a large number of professional criminal investigators and Security Officers were stationed at the university to help Lin Tianyang and Ma Dongyu root out the Rat God Cultists hiding on campus.

As the investigation deepened over the past two days, Security Officers assisting on campus began to go missing one after another.

Lin Tianyang and Ma Dongyu suspected the Rat God Cultists were responsible, so last night, they deliberately used themselves as bait to lure out the hidden culprit.

But their "fishing" expedition ended up hooking an incredibly terrifying Ratman.

A battle broke out on the spot.

The weaker Lin Tianyang was almost swallowed whole by the Ratman, nearly ending up as its meal.

Ma Dongyu had intervened just in time to save him.

The price was a swipe to her head from its claw, which tore off a large patch of skin and hair, causing blood to gush out.

Fortunately, they had prepared thoroughly before setting the trap, carrying Healing Elixirs with them, which allowed them to treat their wounds promptly.

Otherwise, Ma Dongyu would likely have been left half-bald and permanently disfigured.

After hearing their account, Zhao Chuan couldn’t help but frown slightly.

He was well aware of Ma Dongyu’s strength.

Her Biological Level was as high as Tier Nine.

She was in the first echelon of powerhouses below the High-Level.

Yet an Extraordinary Powerhouse like her had been wounded by a Ratman to the point of near disfigurement.

This meant that the Ratman’s Biological Level had to be at least Tier Nine.

It was probably at Tier Nine Peak Great Perfection, not quite at the High-Level yet.
