Starting Cultivation in Wasteland-Chapter 532 - 402: Volunteering

Xiang Xue was eager to leave Star No. 2, and it indeed had something to do with her identity.

Although she wasn’t part of the archaeology enthusiast organization, her supreme dad was.

Star No. 2 was about to start a thorough investigation, and this organization, well-informed, also entered a state of low profile.

However, some people knew about Xiang Xue’s dad’s identity.

To prevent anyone from targeting her, which might put the organization in a passive position, she was urged to leave and hide for a while.

Xiang Xue was a bit unhappy when leaving, and found Zi Jiu Immortal and Panda on the starship, which made her even more unhappy.

She didn’t know why she couldn’t stand seeing them together, especially when she saw them entering the same room.

That’s why she barged in to jab them with a few words.

She was left speechless by Qu Jianlei’s retort, but then she grew curious, "Aid... what kind of mission is that?"

Qu Jianlei replied seriously, "Academy support mission."

He could have ignored her, but since the other party suspected his identity, he felt it necessary to clarify.

Earth Scholar organization isn’t a good bird, resorting to unscrupulous means, why give them leverage?

Upon hearing his words, Xiang Xue’s eyes lit up, "Is it the Engineering College?"

Qu Jianlei was surprised and glanced at her, honestly, he hadn’t even asked which academy he was going to.

But Zi Jiu Immortal spoke up, "You’re right, the Engineering College was established the shortest time ago."

"Hey, count me in then?" Xiang Xue volunteered, "I have nothing to do on Star No. 4 anyway."

The middle-aged female guard’s mouth twitched upon hearing this, silly girl, speaking so bluntly, isn’t it obvious you’re avoiding trouble?

Zi Jiu Immortal glanced at Xiang Xue, then turned to Qu Jianlei, "Is this person... suitable?"

"Don’t joke," Qu Jianlei glanced at Xiang Xue indifferently, "Do you qualify to be a teacher?"

"What’s unqualified about it?" Xiang Xue responded dismissively, "With my cultivation level, being a teaching assistant is more than enough."

Zi Jiu Immortal gave her a look, "Your cultivation level is sufficient, but even teaching assistants need to have the right qualifications."

"Who are you looking down on?" Xiang Xue grumbled unhappily, "I’m a graduate of Chaoyang Superpower Warrior Academy!"

This academy is a famous Imperial school, surpassing Green Water Academy by at least two streets.

Zi Jiu Immortal didn’t mind the academy gap, she was just curious, "Then why did you not join the military?"

Xiang Xue answered indifferently, "Why must I join the military? Twenty percent of our class didn’t enlist, just served as reservists."

"Connections, huh," Zi Jiu Immortal understood, then stated seriously, "Hiring procedures must go through the academy, you spoke too late."

However, Xiang Xue answered straightforwardly, "I won’t take your salary, just want to play around, that shouldn’t be a problem, right?"

Upon hearing this, Zi Jiu Immortal pressed her lips, then looked at Qu Jianlei, "You decide."

She indeed had a spot for an assistant but was unfamiliar with this woman.

Qu Jianlei glanced at Xiang Xue and spoke helplessly, "You’re bored?"

"I don’t have much to do anyway," Xiang Xue replied casually, "Star No.2 has been unstable recently, I don’t want to drag others down."

The middle-aged female guard helplessly covered her eyes: Well, you are truly honest.

However, Qu Jianlei liked her personality indeed, saying whatever she thought openly.

"If you’re not earning a salary, we can’t guarantee your work attitude; students are easily influenced."

Xiang Xue shook her head indifferently, "Rest assured, my discipline is stronger than you think."

"Then I have no issue," Qu Jianlei looked at Zi Jiu Immortal, "Professor Zi, you decide."

Zi Jiu Immortal was encountering such a situation for the first time, her view of the other party was average, but a free B-level was tempting.

She thought for a moment before expressing, "Let’s try for a few days; it’s also a mutual choice, what’s your expertise?"

Xiang Xue answered without hesitation, "History, Water Attribute cultivation, and... practical etiquette!"

Qu Jianlei almost laughed out loud, indeed it’s history... but are you sure the Engineering College finds this necessary?

Zi Jiu Immortal nodded after hearing, "Alright, understood."

Xiang Xue smiled slightly, "Professor Zi is truly enthusiastic, by the way, if you two are sharing a room, won’t your significant other be jealous?"

Zi Jiu Immortal glanced at her indifferently, shook her head slightly yet said nothing.

"You’re really broad-minded," Xiang Xue said with a smile, "If it were me, I definitely wouldn’t be at ease."

Zi Jiu Immortal spoke helplessly, "The starship is about to take off, aren’t you hurrying back to your room?"

Xiang Xue shook her head, turned away, and murmured softly, "I’m doing this for your good."

This voyage went smoothly, four days later, the starship landed on Hope No.4 Star.

At the moment of stepping out of the starship, Qu Jianlei was a bit puzzled: No accidents at all?

After thinking this way, Xiang Xue probably has a jinxing mouth, which offsets his own bad luck.

The central city of Star No. 4 is called Fengrao, a big city with a population of over twenty million.

This planet officially became a habitable planet less than eighty years ago, and the urban agglomeration is still expanding outward.

The Engineering College is also in Fengrao City, but because of its short establishment time and being a professional academy, it ranks fifth among the higher academies on Star No. 4.

However, the college’s professional practicality is very strong, receiving substantial support from the government, and currently is striving to move forward vigorously.

After Qu Jianlei and the others walked out of the airport, they called a taxi to head to the academy.

Zi Jiu Immortal considered herself as having hired a free B-level, and when she saw the middle-aged female guard get into the car, she was taken aback again.

"Is she coming along too?"

Xiang Xue smiled and replied, "Her salary is paid by me, Professor Zi doesn’t need to worry."

The Engineering College is in the suburbs of Fengrao, and it took a three-hour drive to reach the destination.

The guard took a glance at the aid proof presented by Professor Zi and immediately called the academy teachers.

Soon, a business car approached from afar, the eight-seater kind.

The welcoming teachers were a man and a woman, both at C-level cultivation levels, and they were very courteous to Zi Jiu Immortal.

The pair led the four guests to the Welcome Garden, a villa cluster mainly for hosting teachers coming to offer assistance.

The four of them registered their identity information and specialized courses at the entrance of the park.

Seeing Qu Jianlei fill in "Library Management," the two hosts didn’t pay it much mind—it was previously communicated.

Even though Qu Jianlei showed a "Modified Warrior" cultivation level.

But Xiang Xue’s expertise filled in made the reception side a bit puzzled.

After hesitating a bit, the female receptionist asked tactfully, "This teacher... wasn’t notified in advance."

"I just happened by," Xiang Xue spoke directly, "but my abilities and education are without issue."

The two hosts dared not say anything further and initially arranged accommodation for the four.

Welcome Garden has plenty of villas—about five hundred—and the four were assigned to three villas.

Xiang Xue stayed with the female guard, and Qu Jianlei surprisingly got to live alone in a villa, which was indeed unexpected.

Shortly after they settled in, someone specifically came over; it was a B-level who was currently responsible for external relations at the academy.

The B-level introduced himself as Di Yinyuan, stating warmly that he welcomed the four.

Given that two became four, it was certainly unexpected, but gaining two more superpower warriors was worthwhile.

Di Yinyuan stated that the batch of aid teachers had all arrived, except Green Water’s teachers had some sudden matters and returned to Star No. 2.

Thus, there would be no welcoming ceremony, but a meeting with the deputy dean in charge could be arranged for a meal.

As for other aid teachers coming from other academies, getting acquainted would take time.

However, Zi Jiu Immortal straightforwardly refused, "No need, you can distribute work according to the situation."

She knew well that Panda’s identity was problematic, and this time was specially for lying low, so why make it conspicuous?

The hosts were slightly stunned: Although Green Water Academy was reputable, the deputy dean in charge was A-level, wouldn’t you want to meet?

Nevertheless, they expressed, "Then you can rest first, we’ll discuss work arrangements tomorrow."

After the two left, Zi Jiu Immortal asked Qu Jianlei, "Do you want to meet other academy teachers?"

Green Water Academy has a total of fifteen assisting teachers here, most of whom she’s not unfamiliar with.

"No need," Qu Jianlei waved his hand, "In case running into someone like An Chongfeng, it’d be quite unnerving."

"An Chongfeng?" Xiang Xue raised her eyebrows, "Did that guy bother you?"

Qu Jianlei heard this, surprisingly looked at her, "You know him too?"

Xiang Xue’s mouth moved, and finally she said, "That person... also quite likes history."

Oh my gosh~ Qu Jianlei couldn’t help but roll his eyes upon hearing this, no wonder that guy was so broke, turns out he liked archaeology too.

"What’s that expression for?" Xiang Xue was sensitive to this kind of topic.

But the next moment, she asked curiously, "Does he dare to mess with you... wouldn’t that be courting death?"

Xiang Xue had seriously investigated Panda’s strength, knowing that this one was almost invincible among A-levels.

She had met An Chongfeng twice, knowing he was an A-level, but as for abilities, he was just average.

The key is... this person belonged to the academy faction.

Xiang Xue herself wasn’t from the combat faction, but she knew that warriors from the academy faction had very polarized abilities.

The strong ones were genuinely strong, always thinking about how to enhance combat power, but aside from the strong ones, they were just for show.

Qu Jianlei felt that this question was difficult to answer, so he pretended not to hear it.

But Zi Jiu Immortal was not very pleased, "Don’t mention him... our academy will handle it ourselves."

Xiang Xue looked at her intently, seemingly wanting to discern whether she was lying.

At this moment, someone shouted from afar, "Jiu Immortal, you came too?"

Zi Jiu Immortal’s face immediately darkened, "Neither male nor female, get lost."

Qu Jianlei turned his head to see a short-haired handsome guy running over from afar.
