Ye Han?
Friends?
Feng Wu didn’t think so.
However, she decided to let Ling Hao think that way if it made him happy. She just shrugged.
“The hunt will be in a few days. Xiao Wu, you better prepare some medicine for treating wounds,” Ling Hao said solemnly. “Hunts in Class B are very different from Class E’s. You may need some time to get used to it.”
Feng Wu asked curiously, “How are they different?”
Ling Hao said, “The significant difference is that the school doesn’t tell us what to hunt. Once we team up and enter the hunting zone, anything can happen.
“Class E and Class D hunt in the outer ring of the forest, while we hunt in the middle ring.
“Tutors oversee your hunts, and you can ask them for help when things go wrong. We don’t have that privilege.
“The top team of Class E is rewarded with one or two hundred points, but ours can earn up to 10,000 points. And there’s more.”
Ling Hao switched to a mysterious tone. “You can choose whether or not you want to hand in the crystal cores you find.”
Feng Wu asked, “Can I keep them for myself? Is that allowed?”
Ling Hao said, “Of course. Do you know Shan Jingfei? She’s the most popular girl in the academy.”
Feng Wu nodded.
Not only that, Feng Wu had also defeated that girl in two strikes.
Ling Hao said, “Of course, now that you’re here, she’s hardly the prettiest girl. You shouldn’t be too proud since she’s much more capable than you.”
His tone was sincere. “Yes, pretty girls have a special advantage, but we’ll only respect a pretty girl when they have the capability to match. Feng Wu, you have to work harder to catch up to Shan Jingfei. Promise?”
Feng Wu said, “Alright.”
Ling Hao asked, “You didn’t even think about it.”
Feng Wu asked, “What’s wrong with that?”
Ling Hao said, “You sounded like you were being offhanded with me.”
Feng Wu didn’t know what to say.
Ling Hao asked, “Do you know why I want you to beat Shan Jingfei?”
Feng Wu asked, “Why?”
Ling Hao said, “Because she’s crossed the line! Do you know who Shao Xiao is? He’s our team leader.”
Feng Wu said, “I know.”
Ling Hao said, “He wrote Shan Jingfei a love letter the other day. She could have turned him down since she didn’t have feelings for him, but she didn’t do that. Instead, she’s been giving him false hope.
“Every time she sees Shao Xiao, she’s so shy and innocent, as if she’s interested in him, but she won’t go out with him.” Ling Hao clenched his fists. “When I asked the girls, I was told that Shan Jingfei and her roommates see Shao Xiao as a laughingstock! He’s just another trophy for her to collect!
“Do you know what the worst part is?”
“What is it?” Feng Wu casually asked.
Ling Hao snarled, “Shan Jingfei wrote the names of all the boys who have ever pursued her on the wall next to her bed! It’s become her collection!”
Feng Wu almost wanted to applaud the girl.
Ling Hao said, “Because Shao Xiao is the most earnest one, they’re saying the worst things about him.”
Feng Wu said, “You can tell Shao Xiao what’s going on.”
