Full-Time Public Enemy-Chapter 557 - 463 The Second Practice Class_3

"The planet beneath our feet is one of the most important sources of funding for the George Warrior Group."

Then, she opened several images, all depicting the Alien Insect Race, which Chen Gu was very familiar with.

"Their 'business' on this planet involves breeding these insects. Then, they use a special stimulus to make certain glands within the insects' bodies produce a secretion."

"Once enough of this secretion has been accumulated, they kill the insects and extract it. The substance is then refined into this."

The screen displayed several brick-sized, neatly packaged blocks.

"Once these are distributed, the gangs in various places dilute them, and then some of you are very familiar with this, even having tried it personally—"

The screen changed once again to show some glass tubes the length of a finger, topped with a metal atomizing device.

The expressions of some of the students changed subtly, as they quickly tried to feign normalcy. If they showed recognition, wouldn't that prove they had indeed tried it?

Bai Zhijin asked in confusion, "Director, what is this?"

Bai Zhijin had never seen such a thing, and Director Xue believed her. "This is a hallucinogenic drug called 'Limitless,' which is very popular in the Star Sea."

"Just press this button and inhale the drug, and you'll feel as if you have endless possibilities!"

"This drug is potent and swept across the market upon its introduction six years ago, quickly overshadowing all other hallucinogens. All major Star Nations are deeply troubled by it, and for years have been tracing its origins. Despite several upstream dealers being taken down, the root source has never been found."

Director Xue explained, "And its source is right beneath your feet, on this planet."

The students' faces turned pale. This field practice was too dangerous!

That was a rebel army they were dealing with, and an important source of their funding at that—surely heavily guarded by elite troops.

Fan Yutong, shivering, said, "This kind of thing... shouldn't it be cleaned up by a joint operation of law enforcement and the military? Why bring us students here..."

"Because the principal thought it should be you," Director Xue replied.

Fan Yutong was speechless. It was indeed the typical style of the principal.

Chen Gu raised his hand. "Director, our strength is too weak. Even if we are all Professionals, facing a well-organized rebel army, we have no hope of winning."

"The purpose of this field practice isn't to annihilate the rebel army nor to destroy their breeding grounds completely," said Director Xue.

"Your mission is beheading."

"Just kill the highest commander of the George Warrior Group on this planet. After that, the military will immediately take over the battle," she continued.

Qiao Shuangyi voiced his dissatisfaction, "Why all this hassle? Why not just send a Starship to bomb them outright?"

Director Xue glared at him. "Because the George Warrior Group has captured about 700,000 civilians from Eckmolon and other nearby Star Nations. It's very likely that all these people, possibly used as slaves, are detained underground on this planet for labor."

"Do you want our Starships to fire a shot and blow up these people together with the 700,000 war refugees?" she asked.

Qiao Shuangyi was dumbfounded. How was he supposed to know about that?

Lin Xiaochen, as one of the sycophantic duo, immediately kicked him while he was down. "You think you're smart? If it were feasible, the principal and the military would have done it long ago."

Director Xue didn't bother with Lin Xiaochen and moved on to open another image. It showed a ferocious man with a centipede-like metal scar on his face and a scruffy beard.

"According to the intelligence we've acquired, this is the bandit leader of the George Warrior Group on this planet, 'Ghost Shark' Deng Puer. He is the third-ranked member of the George Warrior Group. While there's no concrete intelligence, we're seventy percent certain that he's a Professional, possibly a 'Mist Singer'—somewhere between the Third Energy Level and the Fifth Energy Level."

She looked around at all the students. "So your main mission is to scout and handle the other riffraff. If Deng Puer is spotted, the three of us teachers will take him down.

"We estimate that there are about 40,000 warriors of the George Warrior Group on this planet. They are heavily armed, not to mention their various combat vehicles and powered Mechas, and it's very possible they have hidden Starships in the Star Sea, so everyone needs to be very careful!"

Upon hearing that their teachers would handle 'Ghost Shark' Deng Puer, who seemed quite menacing, the students noticeably relaxed.

Even with strong support from their families, the strongest among these students were only at the Second Energy Level, with only a few beginning to prepare for the Third Energy Level.

And someone like Deng Puer, a rebel military leader, was very likely the maximum level reported in official intelligence: the Fifth Energy Level.

At this point, Wang Chengqian stepped forward. "We will divide into three groups, each deployed in a different area to search for targets. The three of us teachers will each lead a team, and student credits will be assessed based on each team's achievements."

As soon as he said this, Wang Chengqian was dismayed to see all the students, including Chen Gu, giving him disapproving looks...

Wang Chengqian fought the urge to curse. He wondered if he should voice his frustration but ultimately just slumped his head in resignation. What could you expect with a low Energy Level and inferior strength?
