Undead Mage: I Have a Skeleton Clone-Chapter 72: Cave Hunting, Massive Rewards

Born the same time as Zhou, why was I born too?!

Ye Fan and the others roared with resentment in their hearts.

Seeing the cadets below the stage, fired up and stirred by the generous rewards, Lu Hu shouted, "Quiet!

Next, let me explain the specific rules of the cave hunting.

First, the hunting time starts at 8 o’clock sharp tomorrow morning and continues non-stop for three full days, a total of 72 hours.

The hunting location is in Cave No. 1 of the Sea City Military Academy. Tomorrow morning at 6 o’clock, everyone will assemble here, and I’ll lead you to the cave.

Second, the area inside the cave is vast, with various terrains like forests, swamps, caves, etc., and there’s a wide variety of demons.

You can fully utilize your advantages and strengths, choosing suitable terrains and prey for hunting.

The ordinary demons in Cave No. 1 generally have the strength of a Lower Apprentice, a few elite demons have the strength of a Middle Apprentice, and a very few leader demons have the strength of an Upper Apprentice.

The hunting points for these demons range from 0.1 to 10 points based on their strength. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Some materials from the demons can be used to refine potions, craft equipment, and so on. You may collect and preserve them as the situation allows.

After the hunting ends, the military academy will reclaim them from you in exchange for contribution points.

Furthermore, the hunting points are in increments of 100 points.

For every 100 hunting points earned, you will receive 10 contribution points as a reward.

The No. 1 cave has different danger levels delineated in various areas based on the danger level of the demons.

You must act according to your capability, while ensuring efficiency.

If you encounter a life-threatening situation, do not hesitate to use the Black Iron level [Shield Scroll] prepared by the military academy for you.

Although using a scroll means elimination and disqualification from the seed ranks, it’s better than losing your life pointlessly in a minor hunting exercise.

Third, I emphasize once again!

This cave hunting does not allow team formations, nor does it permit attacking each other.

Your hunting process will be live-streamed, allowing both instructors and other cadets to view and supervise via personal terminals.

Fourth, you will subsequently be issued [Hunting Recorders], which can direct you, record points, and if you encounter danger or unexpected situations, you can use them to SOS.

Additionally, after dismissal, you need to prepare your own field operation supplies for three days.

Got it?"

The cadets nodded one after another and replied, "Understood!"

Lu Hu nodded slightly, waved a large hand.

"Alright, dismissed!

Attend classes as usual today, rest early tonight, and I look forward to your performance over the next three days!"

...

After dismissal, Fang Zhou followed Ye Fan and others back to the First Battalion classroom.

Upon seeing Fang Zhou, Bai Xiaochan, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly moved over and asked curiously, "How about it, Fang Zhou, did Instructor Lu say anything?"

The other cadets from the First Battalion who were not selected for the seed candidate list also cast curious and envious glances.

Fang Zhou recounted Lu Hu’s words and asked, "Xiaochan, how is your auxiliary profession being assessed?"

Bai Xiaochan wrinkled her nose and said rather discouraged, "It’s so complicated, there’s a written test, an interview, and even a practical combat test, just thinking about it gives me a headache!"

Seeing this salty girl showing signs of wanting to back out, Fang Zhou quickly urged her on, "Go for it Xiaochan, Hongzhuang was just asking me about you.

Everyone is very concerned about you!"

Upon hearing Meng Hongzhuang’s name, Bai Xiaochan immediately perked up.

She put her hands on her hips and gritted her teeth, "Hmph, that shorty Meng Hongzhuang!

She’s definitely hoping for my elimination so she can show off to me!

She can dream on!"

Seeing Bai Xiaochan’s rekindled fighting spirit, Fang Zhou secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Such a rare and quality support, if she kept lying flat, failing to keep up with his pace, the loss would be great.

Just as Fang Zhou prepared to keep pushing her, a tiny voice like a mosquito’s came over.

"Um... Fang Zhou, can I add you as a friend?"

Fang Zhou followed the voice and saw a melon-faced female cadet from the First Battalion looking at him with shyness.

Beside him, Bai Xiaochan immediately looked over with vigilance upon hearing the voice.

The melon-faced female cadet was a bit nervous and said, "Sorry Fang Zhou, I was thinking you’ll surely make it to the seed list.

Then you’ll 100 seeds will leave your platoons and form an elite company.

We’ve been classmates for two months and I still haven’t added you as a friend..."

Fang Zhou understood, this was another female cadet drawn by his personal charm.

He cheerfully exchanged contact information with this quite pretty girl.

Soon after, the other First Battalion cadets couldn’t sit still.

They put down their reserve, calling "Lord Fang" as they flocked over.

It was obvious to anyone with eyes that with Fang Zhou’s strength, being the No.1 Seed was almost a certainty.

Perhaps today was their last chance to have close contact with Fang Zhou.

As long as they added him as a friend, they didn’t even expect favors, but after a few or even a dozen years, when Fang Zhou achieved great fame, they could boast to others.

"Back then, when General Fang Zhou just entered the military academy, I fought alongside him for two months!"

Pushed aside by the throng, the melon-faced female cadet sighed with envy, feeling somewhat complicated.

Two months ago, during the academy’s awakening ceremony, she had even bet with a group of girlfriends on whether Fang Zhou would awaken the [Priest] profession.

When he awakened the [Undead Mage] profession, she felt regretful for Fang Zhou.

Never expected, in just two months.

The classmate once thought only good-looking enough to rely on appearance would achieve such dazzling success through his own efforts and talent.

Indeed, there are no trash professions, only trash awakeners.

She clenched her small fists, secretly motivating herself.

She must take Fang Zhou as an example and blaze her own path!

...

In the meeting room, a group of instructors was discussing the matters related to tomorrow’s cave hunting.

For the apprentice-level recruits like Fang Zhou, Cave No.1 was enormous.

But for high-tier instructors like Lu Hu, Su Xinyan, Chen Qingshan, who were Silver and even Golden tier, it was just a small hunting ground.

With a little attention, it was enough to ensure the safety of these 180 seed candidates’ lives.

After arranging each instructor’s positions, Lu Hu asked, "Does anyone have anything to add?"

One instructor hesitated and said, "Fang Zhou and Ye Fan, using their research project permissions, might redeem some resources useful for cave hunting in advance, like Spiritual Recovery Potions, Physical Recovery Potions, Military Ration Pills, and so on.

Isn’t this somewhat unfair to the other candidates? Should we impose some restrictions on them?"

Before Lu Hu could speak, Su Xinyan, who had been silent beside him, snorted coldly and said, "Ridiculous!

Why don’t you say that Fang Zhou wearing a set of refined+1, gem-embedded apprentice gear, is also unfair to those candidates who could only redeem apprentice weapons?

I don’t care about Ye Fan, Fang Zhou’s permissions were earned through his own merits.

He can redeem any resources he wants.

The strong should win all!
