Designated hotel, but meals and lodging are not included.

So, if the students complain that the long-distance bus is too early now, and wait a little longer, they'll be complaining about how inhumane the school is tomorrow.

Speaking of Hotwind City in Suzuran Province, we must mention the treasure map in Wen's hand. He picked it up at Fansen's hideout, and after AI assistant modeling and analysis, the location was determined to be Silver Stone Ridge in Hotwind City, Suzuran Province.

Although Vanvich and his son are dead, they are still exerting their influence.

Gao Wen didn't have high expectations for this treasure map. With the passage of time, the treasures of the past are now considered gifts from nature by later generations, and may have been salvaged and excavated hundreds of years ago.

Furthermore, the Province of Lily of the Valley has been managed by the Church of Eternal Flame for many years. As a church that believes in the Lord of Death, it teaches its members several necromancy spells and is most skilled at having the tomb owners lead archaeological expeditions.

With such a despicable local gang, the chances of Baozang sticking to his principles and waiting for a destined person with a treasure map to come to him are extremely slim.

However, since we're already here, we should definitely make the trip.

What if!

……

At midday, under the blazing sun, the school bus, which had traveled for four hours, stopped at a hotel parking lot.

According to rumors, the hotel owner is the brother-in-law of a leader within the university.

These things cannot be said, and we shouldn't speculate. The school only specified the hotel, not the restaurant. The school bus stopped at this big hotel instead of the cheap food street, which must be for the sake of the students' food hygiene.

"Welcome again, please come in. Your lunch has been arranged." The staff member came out warmly and welcomed the drivers inside.

Hundreds of students entered in batches and tasted the local specialties, including a set meal that was not very tasty but extremely expensive.

"What a load of rubbish! Even the leftovers thrown away by the school cafeteria are better than this."

"It's outrageous! They call shredded meat 'meat chops'!"

"Put the ice cubes as big as you want, and the stools as small as you want..."

"They're doomed. My dad's in the Ministry of Health; I'll have him come and investigate later!"

"Then your allowance will increase again next semester."

Amidst a chorus of complaints, four third-year students joined the first-year group and, after some questioning, found Gao Wen, who was enjoying a hearty meal.

"You are Gao Wen..."

"Hey, why is everyone else getting shredded meat, but you have a big chunk of meat?"

Because the big chunks of meat are no longer useful, now is the era of original recipe chicken, and the remnants of the previous era must be cleared out.

Gao Wen ignored him until he finished the last piece of meat and ate a few bites of banana before looking up at the uninvited guest.

There were four people in total. The three obsequious errand boys could be ignored. The senior student in the lead was tall and handsome. He had his hair slicked back in a slicked-back style, which smelled strongly of hair gel, so he must have just styled it.

Who carries hair gel around? This is an archaeologist taking photos of the tomb owner's three-bedroom apartment, not a tourist taking photos of themselves!

Since there were no female seniors in the group, and the slick-haired man didn't look like a woman dressed as a man, Gao Wen lost interest after just one glance. He took out a tissue, slowly wiped his mouth, then got up, walked past the four people, and headed straight for the parking lot outside the hotel.

"Wait a moment."

The slick-haired senior blocked Gao Wen's way, a smug smile on his lips: "Let me introduce myself. My name is Minong. I heard that Gao Wen is the best fighter among the freshmen."

Four senior students, looking for trouble, quickly attracted a large crowd. Apart from his classmates who were worried that Gao Wen would be taken advantage of and went upstairs to find the department head, the rest of them just watched the show with amusement.

Fight! Fight! xN

"There are indeed such rumors based on objective reality."

Gawain stated the facts in a flat tone, his indifferent and perfunctory manner causing Minon's smile to freeze slightly before he resumed what he thought was a friendly smile: "I also heard that Gawain is already a formal mage and is preparing to participate in this year's Knight Ranking Tournament."

The first-year students watching whispered among themselves. They knew little about the Knight Ranking Tournament, but they were aware of the prestige of becoming a formal mage. They were truly impressed that Gawain had become a formal mage in just half a semester.

The second-year students had a different attitude: 30% admired him, 30% envied him, and the remaining 40% were unconvinced, thinking that Gawain was just lucky and would be exposed in the Knights Ranking Tournament.

"You know that?"

Gao Wenqi was unusual; as low-key as he was, he never publicized it. Within his social circle, not even Hervy, Lily, Dawn, Becky, Hill, Hugh, and others knew he was participating…

Well, Hervy and Hill might not be so sure.

Hervy: My boyfriend is amazing!

Hill: My cousin is awesome!

“Barrett told me that he fought you.”

Who is Barrett? Is he an arms dealer?

Gao Wen looked bewildered. Of all the senior students he had fought, he only remembered Labrador; the others were all referred to as "Big Fool Senior."

I haven't been to the stadium in a long time. I wonder if Labrador is on crutches or in a wheelchair now. God loves honest people, I hope he's not lying on a stretcher.

“Barrett speaks highly of you, but I think his words are exaggerated. Gawain, how about we have a match to prove yourself?” Minon’s voice was loud, leaving Gawain no way out.

Gawain was inwardly repulsed by the inexplicable provocation. He had already brought his talent to the highway and had no reason to be easily angered by the school's idiots.

So what if so many people are watching? Only kids care about saving face. A mature man like him, who has put a face mask on his girlfriend, will just smile slightly...

[Host has triggered the quest "[The Slick-Haired Senior's Provocation]"]

[Task Description: A slick-haired senior student who suddenly appeared out of nowhere harbors inexplicable malice towards you, engaging in childish and low-class provocations. Please shatter his arrogance in an adult manner.]

[Task Rewards: 1 Experience Points, 1000 Gold Coins, 10 Basic Free Attribute Points]

【Whether to accept? 】

【whether】

A mature man will simply smile slightly and pretend to be provoked.

Gao Wen rolled his eyes, telling the system to hurry up and release the next task. He gave Minong a cold, insincere smile: "Since you, senior with slicked-back hair, want to lose face in public, as your junior, I will definitely grant your request."

"It's Senior Minong!"

"Okay, slick-haired senior."

"Minon!"

"Understood, slick-haired senior."

……

The hotel was very thoughtful; the parking lot is quite large, and even after deducting the parking spaces occupied by the school bus, there is still plenty of space left for the drunk to move around in.

The parking lot was packed with students, three or four deep, who were there to watch the spectacle.

At the same time, the accompanying teachers stood in a row by the window of the private room on the second floor.

A middle-aged man in a white shirt approached Glenn and said apologetically, "Department Head, Minon is my student. He caused a fight in private, and I bear an unshirkable responsibility."

Colvin, my mentor during my junior year.

"It's alright, we can stop them now." Glenn said dismissively.

Is this... appropriate?

Colvin looked at the parking lot: "Although Minon provoked us first, Gawain agreed to his request for a sparring match. If we stop them now, Gawain will lose face in front of so many classmates."

"Mr. Colvin, are you serious?"

"Yes, if I have said anything wrong, please correct me, Department Head."

"I have nothing to say..."

Glen gave Colvin a deep look. Because Colvin was shameless and blind, no one could read his emotional changes. To express his dissatisfaction, he could only emphasize his words: "Teacher Colvin, I hope you remember your words. After the sparring session, no matter the outcome, you bear an inescapable responsibility."

"That's how it should be, and I'm willing to bear all the consequences."

Where there are people, there are conflicts. Colvin, a fellow teacher, outwardly obeyed the arrangement when Glenn became the new head of the history department, but inwardly he was very resentful.

What are the school leaders thinking? Forget about Fan Weiqi, but how is Ge Lan any better than him?

So what if he became famous at a young age and was invited to become a court monk? So what if he's handsome and has a beautiful wife...?

Uh, he's better than him.

But that's all in the past. Now Ge Lan has nothing, he's skin and bones and has no shame. Why should the school leaders choose Ge Lan and not him?

It must be a cover-up!

Colvin couldn't refute the school leaders' decision, but that didn't mean he was willing to swallow his anger. After investigation, Gawain passed Glenn's review and was approved to participate in the Knights Ranking Tournament.

In that case, he arranged for a student who was strong enough and qualified to participate in the Knight Ranking Tournament to give Gawain a good beating.

Kicking Gawain's ass was just a means to an end; slapping Glenn in the face was the real goal!

This is in the bag! x2

Minong glanced around, enjoying being the center of attention, and smiled politely as always: "Junior Gao Wenxue, no need to be polite. After all, I'm two years older than you, so you can go first."

"Who's being polite to you? Some people just look older, but they're like little kids. They might get beaten up like grandsons later."

Gao Wen curled his lip: "Since you've come here to provoke me, don't pretend to be a nice senior. I just finished lunch, it's not worth throwing it up."

"..."

Minon's face darkened. She had just wanted to say that Gawain had no manners at all.

"Furthermore, we have no past grudges or recent disputes. Your sudden provocation must be at the behest of someone."

Gao Wen, with reason and evidence, attempted to delve deeper into the chain of events: "Tell me, who instructed you? Once I've dealt with you, I can go and take care of him."

"Brother Gao Wenxue, you're overthinking it. It's just a normal sparring match."

"The worst thing about being a person is thinking too much, but the worst thing is thinking too little. I wish I didn't think about anything, but who told you to come here with malice!"

Gao Wen beckoned with his finger: "Slick-haired senior, come on over, I can't wait to find out who's behind this."

"It's Senior Minong!"

Minon's eyes blazed with fury, and with his utterly uncultured mouth, he tore her apart.

With a single step, his angry fist hurtled straight at Gao Wen's face.

Say goodbye to your front teeth!
