Master of Ten Thousand Foxes-Chapter 181 - 123: West State University Immortal Grass Experimental Class
Its appearance was tragic, the left wing had stiffened, the feathers were burned to ash, the flesh roasted, with oil dripping down!
On its back, Su Yaoyao knelt sitting, her hair blowing messily in the wind, tears streaming down her face, not daring to look at Red Treasure’s left wing.
"Why is it so far... why aren’t we there yet... sob sob sob...
"Red Treasure, hold on just a bit longer!
"Once we fly back, someone can help heal your wounds!"
From the phone at her waist, the voice of Chairman Chen Shu sounded.
"Don’t worry, our medical team is already ready at the Celestial Platform!
"The immortal beast has a strong ability to recover, it will be fine.
"What did you encounter tonight?"
Su Yaoyao choked up, grabbing the phone.
"Fire Toad!
"We encountered Sequence Eight’s Fire Toad; it was as big as a van!
"It slammed into Red Treasure’s chest, I don’t know if Red Treasure’s bones are broken.
"It also inflicted fire poison on Red Treasure’s wing, Red Treasure’s wing is already half-cooked... sob sob sob..."
...
The June days in West State City were already very hot.
The tree outside the exhibition center was full of cicada chirps.
A dense crowd of students and parents, some with smiling faces, others apprehensive, walked into the exhibition center.
Under the tree shade, Teacher Chen wearing a dress, carrying a small handbag, was full of smiles, the corners of her mouth unable to retract. Bai Mo from her class scored 740 points!
Though slightly underperforming, it was still the top score!
The other students also did well.
At this moment, a dozen students gathered here, chatting and laughing while waiting.
"Who else is coming with us?"
"Has Fang Yuan arrived?"
Fang Yuan, wearing a floral dress, answered crisply from outside the crowd.
"I’m here!"
"What about Zhang Jian? Is he going in with us?"
Fang Yuan shook her head.
"He’s not. He said he’s going in with his dad to take a look.
"I talked to him on the phone last night, not sure why, but he seemed really down."
The group of students exchanged glances, silently understanding.
There had been rumors of Zhang Jian’s parents having marital issues; could they be getting a divorce?
"What about Bai Mo?
"Is he joining us?"
Everyone pulled slight smiles.
"Bai Mo... he’s not going to the main exhibit hall.
"Apparently, he’s going to some special exhibit hall to see West State University’s Immortal Grass Experimental Class?"
"Huh? Immortal Grass Experimental Class? Sounds cool."
"What is that thing?"
...
"What exactly is this Immortal Grass?
"Is it really that mysterious?"
The exhibition center’s various large and small venues were distributed like satellites.
The largest exhibit hall was in the center, with several smaller halls nestled around it, like stars surrounding the moon.
The enrollment consultation of the Immortal Grass Experimental Class was set up in a secluded small exhibit hall. At the moment, Bai Mo followed the admissions teacher through a long corridor, heading there.
The admissions teacher, a middle-aged man with a white shirt, gray hair, was quite spirited, boasting to Bai Mo as they walked.
"This consultation area is only open to the top ten students from each province.
"The popularity is through the roof, hahaha!
"More than twenty students have already come from all over the country.
"And over thirty more are expected to arrive in the afternoon.
"Almost every student who received an invitation is very interested and wants to take a look.
"Although we only recruit one student per province, so many students will inevitably be disappointed, hahahaha!
"Many people think West State University can’t compete with Yanhua University or Shangjing University... but our Immortal Grass Experimental Class is different!
"These days, immortal-related incidents are increasingly common, and no one can predict where the times are heading.
"Our Immortal Grass Experimental Class has real immortal grass!
"In our class, you’ll study and research the most cutting-edge, advanced knowledge of the times!"
Bai Mo pulled a slight smile, feeling awkward about the teacher’s boasting. Luckily, this guy didn’t need encouragement, as he could continue boasting smoothly by himself.
Behind Bai Mo, Black Gloves helped carry the master’s backpack, wagged its tail, and followed along.
It looked at the admissions teacher in front with disdain on its fox face.
It had figured it out—this guy was bragging!
If not anything else, the most advanced cutting-edge knowledge was definitely not with them... all the best knowledge was at Fox Mountain!
...
Walking through the corridor, they arrived at the entrance of the exhibit hall.
There was a table set up beside it, and behind the table, doing registrations, were two members of the Immortal Technique Committee.
One of them was Bai Mo’s old acquaintance, Lu Yang’s father, Lu Zhou!
Seeing Bai Mo’s arrival, he grinned broadly.
"Expert Bai Mo, you’re here to see the Immortal Grass Experimental Class too?"
"This experimental class is jointly run by our Committee and West State University, haha."
"Here’s the registration form and confidentiality agreement, please sign them."
"There’s no other way, this stuff is high-end and the rules are strict!"
"You need to sign in five places, here... here... next page..."
Bai Mo exchanged some pleasantries and then bowed his head to start signing the documents.
As he looked at the clauses of the confidentiality agreement, he couldn’t help but smirk while signing.
He was increasingly curious about what exactly this Immortal Grass was that made the Committee and West State University so concerned.
Next to him, Black Gloves held his master’s backpack and began to feel curious too.
Its fox-like nose twitched slightly, trying to sniff the scent of medicine in the air...
But...
It didn’t smell anything!
...
After signing the documents, Bai Mo and Black Gloves finally entered the exhibition hall.
The hall was quite large, with no windows and only ceiling lights providing illumination.
Dozens of students and parents were already inside, crowding around the central exhibit platform tightly.
"Is this the Immortal Grass?"
"It can eat meat, that’s kinda creepy."
"I heard medicine made from this Immortal Grass can cure cancer!"
"Applying for this major is pretty good; you can directly join the Immortal Technique Committee after graduation and become an expert."
"But each province only has one admission slot, it’s quite difficult."
"Is Bai Mo going to apply or not? If he doesn’t, then I’ll give it a shot!"
Bai Mo couldn’t squeeze into the crowd, so he simply spread his Divine Sense from his forehead chakra, like an invisible breeze, gliding over the viewers toward the central exhibit platform.
In the glass case on the platform, a mass of white mycelium was buried in a piece of pork, slowly absorbing nutrition from it.
Bai Mo’s expression turned peculiar, feeling somewhat hoodwinked and dejected.
"People hyped this up for so long, and this is the Immortal Grass?"
Apparently, the so-called Immortal Grass was nothing but a Centennial Mushroom discovered earlier at West State University, with its main roots removed, leaving only the mycelium!
Never mind these mycelium, even the several main roots taken cut back, they are still gathering dust in the Fox Mountain warehouse.
Bai Mo furrowed his brows and sighed.
He started to reflect on himself... He shouldn’t have held such high expectations from the beginning.
He symbolically squeezed into the crowd, out of courtesy glanced at those mycelium, managed his expression to ensure his disdain wasn’t obvious.
Then he was pulled aside by the admissions teacher.
The admissions teacher looked excited.
"So what do you think?
"Are you amazed by our Immortal Grass?
"Here are related materials and papers on Immortal Grass for you to read."
"I know you won’t understand them, but that’s fine, just get a feel for it!
"Remember, these papers cannot be taken home or disclosed, we’ve all signed confidentiality agreements."
"Are you interested in applying? First sign a contract?"
"Your scores are high, plus you’re Sequence Nine Immortal-Related Personnel, you get an extra twenty points. Just by applying, there’s a big chance!"
Bai Mo furrowed his eyebrows, pondering how to refuse while ensuring everyone’s dignity.
A nearby parent chimed in.
"Teacher Wang, can this student really get an extra twenty points?
"Does our Immortal Grass Experimental Class recognize extra points?
"Wouldn’t that be unfair to other children?"
The admissions teacher froze for a moment.
"Uh... there’s no need to worry about that."
"I was just saying that casually."
"Even without extra points, Bai Mo’s raw score is number one."
...
"This Immortal Grass Experimental Class seems to be quite popular?"
"Judging by this, it actually overtakes Shangjing University and Yanhua University?"
Bai Mo, along with Black Gloves, left the small exhibition hall, walked down the long corridor, and entered the bustling large exhibition hall, still feeling puzzled by what he witnessed earlier.
The large exhibition hall was filled with booths from various universities, heaps of students and parents, a bustling crowd.
"Let’s go, see what’s happening, and chat a bit with Teacher Chen and others."
Bai Mo called Black Gloves and suddenly saw familiar faces ahead... it’s Zhang Jian and his father Zhang Qiunian. Both of them looked preoccupied.
Zhang Jian’s eyes were swollen and red, as if he had just cried.
What’s going on?
Are Zhang Jian’s parents getting a divorce?
Zhang Qiunian pulled out his phone and rapidly sent messages.
Sending messages to whom?
A new love interest? A mistress?
Instinctively, Bai Mo spread his Divine Sense toward Zhang Qiunian’s phone.
He saw the chat interface on the screen that he had seen before, and it was clearly "Dark World!"
Zhang Qiunian’s own nickname, [Giant Food Mountain Liang Hong]!
The person Zhang Qiunian was chatting with, [Giant Food Mountain Mu Tianren]!
