Chapter 198: Chapter 133: Attribute of the Spiritual Mind Master Tag

Otherwise, Lin Tianyang and Ma Dongyu wouldn’t have survived last night.

They probably would’ve been swallowed whole by that Ratman long ago.

Becoming nourishment for its evolution.

Although it’s probably not a High-Level one, a Tier Nine Peak Great Perfection Ratman is still more than a handful.

’Hmm, this mission is pretty difficult. It won’t be easy to complete.’

’I have to treat this with caution. I absolutely can’t afford any carelessness, lest I suffer an unexpected setback.’

At this thought, Zhao Chuan’s expression grew much more solemn.

But just a few seconds later, he thought of Gu Qing. The solemn look on his face instantly vanished, replaced by one of relief.

’I almost forgot we have a stat monster on the team.’

’This rookie, an Extraordinary Contactor named Gu Qing, can crush me with one hand. His Physical Strength is so high he can tank my explosions without a scratch.’

’With him on our side, even if that Ratman is an Advanced Creature, our group should be able to handle it.’

’So...’

’This mission isn’t that hard to complete after all.’

’The only hard part will be finding that Ratman at Hai City University.’

As these thoughts ran through Zhao Chuan’s mind,

Gu Qing, who was standing beside him, turned to Lin Tianyang and Ma Dongyu and asked,

"Brother Yang, Sister Yu, the Ratman you encountered—was it a man in a white lab coat wearing a Rat Head Mask?"

"No."

Lin Tianyang shook his head. "Although the Ratman that attacked us was also wearing a bizarre Rat Head Mask, it had stockings on. It was clearly a woman—most likely that female student you saw in the woods the other day."

Liu Yue cut in. "Wait, how can you just assume its gender? Who says only women can wear stockings? Can’t men wear them too?"

’Huh? What is she even talking about?’

Lin Tianyang was completely thrown.

He felt like Liu Yue was just nitpicking and trying to start trouble.

For a moment, he wanted to argue back, but he didn’t dare, afraid of offending an Extraordinary Awakened.

Liu Yue was a high and mighty Extraordinary Awakened. As a mere Extraordinary Contactor, he couldn’t afford to get on her bad side.

He hadn’t understood this principle before. He’d insisted on clashing with He Haikun after he became an Extraordinary Awakened, and ended up getting royally screwed over.

Liu Yue continued, "I’m not just splitting hairs. After all, we have a certain pervert right here who likes to wear stockings."

As she spoke, her gaze fell on Wu Jiahao, who was leaning against a nearby wall, trying to look profound.

Seeing this, Lin Tianyang breathed an inward sigh of relief.

He had been panicking just a moment ago, thinking he’d somehow offended Liu Yue and that’s why she was arguing with him.

It turned out that while Liu Yue seemed to be picking on him, she was actually taking a shot at someone else—her target was clearly Wu Jiahao, the one trying to look profound while leaning against the wall.

"I’ve told you before, it’s not perverted. It’s avant-garde, get it?"

Wu Jiahao slowly raised his eyes to meet Liu Yue’s, his voice intentionally deep.

Liu Yue sneered. "Hah. You know perfectly well whether you’re a pervert or not."

Wu Jiahao shook his head. "Truly, casting pearls before swine is a difficult task. I admit defeat. I never should have tried talking to a cow."

Liu Yue retorted, not to be outdone, "If I’m a cow, then you’re a pig—a pig so stupid it’s hopeless. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have only tested into a vocational college and still act like you’re so smart."

This American-style ABC girl was one to hold a grudge and would seek revenge for the smallest slight. She still remembered Wu Jiahao calling her a useless overseas student who just mooched off her parents, so she took every chance she got to pick a fight with him.

Wu Jiahao didn’t get angry at being called a pig. Instead, he said confidently, "I know that in the stereotypical view of many, students in vocational colleges are all underachievers who aren’t very bright."

"But—I’m an exception."

"Next, I will use my Einstein-level intellect and my Sherlock Holmes-like powers of deduction to single-handedly root out every last Rat God Cultist hiding in the shadows."

"Then we’ll see who the brainless idiot is, and who the real genius is. It’ll be plain as day."

"I’m out."

The words had barely left his mouth when Wu Jiahao executed a meticulously practiced, dramatic turn and walked away.

Zhao Chuan called out a reminder, "Wu Jiahao, if you actually find something, don’t do anything rash! Remember to come back and talk it over with us."

Wu Jiahao didn’t say a word, simply raising a hand with his back to them in acknowledgement.

After the show-off left,

Gu Qing also decided it was time to start investigating.

With his Beast Language Ability, he planned to find a breakthrough by starting with the school’s rats.

"Come on, Junior. Let’s go investigate too."

Gu Qing said this gently, looking at Xia Shuran beside him.

Xia Shuran nodded lightly. "Okay."

She didn’t really understand anything about investigating; she just wanted to be Gu Qing’s quiet follower, ready to do whatever he asked of her.

As for the remaining Liu Yue,

This American-style ABC girl had no interest in investigating whatsoever.

She believed that everyone had their specialty, and it was best to leave investigating to the Security Officers.

With nothing else to do, she found a corner of the office and started practicing her Controlling Objects in the Air ability, using every spare moment to raise her Biological Level.

"Quick, look at that girl! The water droplets around her are moving as if they’re alive, circling her body one by one. That’s incredible!"

"I heard some Extraordinary Beings say that people like her are called Extraordinary Awakened. They’re a special type of Extraordinary Being with Superpowers."

"So what kind of Superpower is that? She can actually use Controlling Objects in the Air?"

Seeing Liu Yue flawlessly manipulate a large number of water droplets in mid-air, the Security Officers in the station began to whisper among themselves, their faces filled with shock and envy.
