The ever-changing star starts with a rice cooker.

Chapter 181 Before the College Entrance Examination (4,000 words)

After a while.

B+ skill acquired.

The same biological USB drive, only this time it must be eaten or viewed in front of Old Li.

It seems that skills at B+ or above will be the focus of the league's close monitoring.

Ning Du naturally chose to eat it all in one bite and then leave quickly.

Now he can finally get some rest.

In the shape of a human, not a rice cooker or a vending machine.

After Ning Du left, news about him quickly spread throughout the stronghold.

Regardless, Master Ning has returned.

Whether Ning Danshi earns 10,000 points and gets a B+ skill, it's all "big news".

The crowd was not only discussing it, but they also wanted to go and congratulate Ning Du, hoping to win him over.

Unfortunately, Ning Du simply didn't have the energy for it.

Back in the familiar tent, I collapsed into bed and fell asleep, wanting to sleep until the world turned dark and the sun and moon disappeared, and not wake up for a long time.

I slept for a full day and night.

Ning Du then woke up.

Upon waking up, Ning Du's first thought was to quickly transform into a vending machine.

This instinctive reflex made him tense up all over.

Then, seeing the surrounding scenery and remembering that it had returned to the human world, the vending machine finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The old man's voice came from behind.

"Don't be afraid, you're all back. Don't be too nervous! It seems you not only gained a lot this time, but also endured a lot of hardship!"

Ning Du turned to the old man and smiled, "It's alright. The hardship is nothing; the main thing is the great rewards."

The old man glanced at Ning Du, then gently shook his head.

"I told you to get the vending machine out of the box sooner so we could make more money. But look what you've done! It's basically doing business with the dead. Can it even produce anything for humans to eat?"

Ning Du glanced at his undead vending machine and replied with a smile, "I don't think that'll work for now."

"If it doesn't work out, then forget it. We've got the B+ technique, it's time for us to go."

The old man stood up and took out the things he had packed.

Ning Du was somewhat surprised by the old man's actions.

"Gone? Where to?"

"Of course you should go somewhere else. You can't stay here any longer. Your current strength won't improve effectively here. Staying any longer will only waste your time."

At this point, the old man raised an eyebrow slightly, gave Ning Du a peculiar look, and then whispered, "Your world power is almost 1,500, isn't it?"

Ning Du was immediately surprised; the old man's judgment was quite accurate.

It's obvious at a glance that the world's power has greatly increased!

After returning from the deathmatch in the subspace, Ning Du's world power was around 1300.

I absorbed quite a few more soulfires in the Netherworld, so now I have about 1,400.

This number has far exceeded the plan they set when they came.

At the time, all we agreed on was to increase our strength to 1,000 world power within a year and also achieve a B-level rating.

Both have now been exceeded!

"Are you really leaving? I just got back, and I still have a lot of things to sell."

Ning Du meant that he could also exchange for B-level skills.

But the old man kept shaking his head. "There's no need. A B and a B+ are enough for you to dominate. Trying to do too much of the rest will only hinder your progress. What you need now is to find a quiet place to thoroughly understand all of this and then prepare for the college entrance exam. I'm going to take you to a quiet island, a deserted island or something."

"Alright, Master!"

Ning Du trusted the old man's judgment.

After being rescued from the Land of the Dead by my master.

Ning Du had complete faith in the old man's abilities; that "Stinky Pill" was truly ruthless, even the Undead Monarch was affected, it was incredibly powerful.

They left on a whim, and the two of them didn't have much stuff to pack.

They would stuff their own belongings into the ring, and return other items, such as tents, to the authorities.

Before anyone else could react, Ning Du and his group were leaving the tent and preparing to buy tickets and leave.

Whether they were acquaintances from the government or people like Lao Cao and Cang Yi, they all showed surprised expressions when they heard that Ning Du and his group were leaving.

"They're leaving already? Looks like they've achieved their goal!"

"It's also possible that they suffered some hidden injuries in the Land of the Dead and need to go back to recuperate!"

"Alas, another alchemist is gone."

"Let's see him off! Having more friends means having more options!"

Before long, more and more people came to see Ningdu and the old man off.

Whether you know them or not, whether you're familiar with them or not, shake hands and say goodbye.

From afar, Ning Du could also see Yin Wei and the others waving to them.

Ning Du smiled slightly. These people will be rivals again when they meet next time.

Board the aircraft, and return the way you came. It's that familiar sound of someone selling boxed lunches again!

Ning Du looked down from the aircraft and could see the leaderboard in the square in the distance.

With at least 13,000 points, he has a very good chance of reaching the top.

Of course, this is on the premise that Cang Yi's points have not yet been redeemed.

Let's leave it as a legend for them!

Ning Du sat in the aircraft and smiled.

The old man next to him only told the truth now.

"There's even a rumor that once they realize how much trouble you've caused them, they'll be lucky if they don't hate you."

"Huh? Why?"

"Why? Because of what you did in the Land of the Dead. The Lord of the Dead is so eager to hunt you down to our world. Do you think this will end well? Let me tell you, it's 100% certain that the Lord of the Dead will summon his undead army to attack the stronghold again. It will definitely be more ruthless than last time, since this time they're coming to steal the vending machines. If you don't leave now, you'll be a criminal. Either the authorities will find out you're doing business with the Lord of the Dead, or the Lord of the Dead will capture you and take you back."

The old man lowered his voice and explained the situation to Ning Du.

Ning Du then understood why he had left in such a hurry.

That's how relationships are!

Oh dear, now that you mention it, we almost left late.

Thankfully, the Undead Lord isn't moving that fast.

Ning Du felt a lingering fear; he didn't want to be captured by that undead lord again and treated like a precious treasure!

The Land of the Dead? No way, we're not going!

Let's never see each other again!

Ning Du wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and then shouted ahead.

"Flyer, can you hurry up? There's no traffic jam in the sky!"

The captain replied rather bluntly, "What's the rush? In a hurry to be reborn? Sit tight, or you'll be thrown out."

Ning Du was speechless for a moment, but didn't continue arguing.

Turning back to look at the outpost that was gradually receding into the distance.

He thought to himself, "Good luck to you all!"

Meanwhile, at the stronghold, they had just seen off Ningdu's group. They had no idea what would happen next.

Cang Yi frowned slightly as he watched the plane disappear into the distance; he felt something was amiss.

Should he leave too?

Anyway, he had already earned enough points, especially with these three thousand points, he had basically gotten everything he wanted.

Old Cao and the others also decided not to go out for the time being.

Haven't you heard that Skeleton King is dead?

So there really aren't many high-value targets outside now.

Inside the City of the Dead, the Lord of the Dead was still adapting to the laws of this world. His power was suppressed too much, and he was unable to launch an attack for the time being.

But he won't give up, no matter where the vending machine goes.

Even if they left that human settlement, even if they ran to the human's lair, even if they hid at the ends of the earth.

He will spare no effort to find the vending machine; he swears on his soul fire!

He will find his precious baby!

In the points hall, Old Li frowned deeply.

I feel like things have been going too smoothly lately.

Was the matter of that lawless old man Wu resolved so simply and easily?

No one was injured, and no one was taken advantage of.

It's not just a win, it's a win-win situation!

That's incredibly lucky!

In his experience, when luck is at its peak, misfortune often follows.

But where would bad luck come from?

What kind of misfortune could be more troublesome than that old ghost Wu?

It couldn't be the undead coming to destroy the stronghold again, could it?

Twice a year?

That probability is too low.

impossible.

Absolutely impossible!

"Hey, Ning Du, where have you been all this time?"

"Ningdu, I thought you had disappeared."

"When are you coming back?"

-

"Do we still need to train? Aren't there any holidays?"

Upon returning, I first informed my teachers and classmates, and then followed my mentor to the next location.

They transfer from one aircraft to another, and then ride in these "wild aircraft" that have no safety licenses or operating permits.

The pilot of the aircraft was a man with a huge beard; his mouth seemed to stick together when he spoke.

He can pilot an old-fashioned aircraft with one hand and chug down 60-proof liquor with the other.

His face was flushed from drinking, and the car was swaying precariously.

Once they arrived at their destination, the bearded man immediately opened the hatch, pointed downwards, and told the two of them to jump down.

Are you kidding me?

There wasn't even a parachute! Ahhhhhh!

Ning Du was dragged down by his master.

You don't have to skydive from high altitudes; you're just having a heart-pounding experience!

You'll see the so-called uninhabited island halfway across.

This place is so deserted, there's nothing around at all.

"My good disciple, now it's my turn to personally instruct you. Be prepared! This wasn't originally planned, but you've performed very well, so I'm going to teach you something impressive!"

The old man was laughing wildly next to Ningdu.

Ning Du just wanted to know how powerful it was, and whether it was powerful enough for him to fly home by himself right now.

He didn't want to train anymore; he just wanted to go back and play on the computer.

Even if his family is full of middle-aged women, he promises he won't get annoyed.

Unfortunately, his efforts were in vain.

The old man laughed very loudly.

The final few months of intensive preparation for "using a rice cooker as part of the college entrance exam" have begun!

Time flies, and flowers bloom in abundance.

Time flies by in the midst of busyness.

It's summer again, and it's time for the college entrance exams again.

Some were nervous, some were excited, and some were returning home.

Yizhou No.1 Middle School.

Teacher Qin hasn't been in a good mood lately.

Because one of the students has lost contact again.

Since this student went away for a year of training with his master, there has been little news of him.

The longest periods were even months without any news.

This made her anxious and frustrated, but she was helpless.

They promised to call the school every other week, but it's considered good if they send a message online once a month.

At first, they said they would go to some special place for training, but later they said they would change locations and go to the sea.

They couldn't say the exact location, and when I tried to go and take a look, they hesitated and said that even normal aircraft couldn't reach it.

Are there any places that aircraft can't reach these days?

What's wrong? Did you guys go to another world?

Even if it's another world, you can go there, but I can't?

There's definitely something wrong!

Teacher Qin didn't want to expose the master and apprentice, so she just assumed they had gone off somewhere to fool around.

She has only one requirement: that she not come back from a year of training worse than she did a year ago, because that would be incredibly embarrassing.

Classes will proceed as normal!

There are still students in the Awakening Class at No. 1 Middle School.

In the past two years, there have been a few newly awakened students in the school, but their quality is definitely far inferior to that of Ning Du and his classmates.

Whether it's skill or talent, there's no comparison.

These people will be lucky if they can get into a regular Guardian University in the future.

"Teacher, I'm back!"

Suddenly a shout came from the corridor.

With a delighted expression, Teacher Qin quickly walked out of the classroom.

"So you finally decided to come back!"

Looking up, Teacher Qin's smile suddenly froze on her face.

Because the one who came back wasn't the rice cooker she had been longing for, the one who promised to help her get a senior teacher title.

Instead, it was a toad-like man wearing a trench coat, seemingly stylish, but actually revealing his green skin.

"Oh, Wang Li, you're back. Where's Ning Du?"

Teacher Qin's smile faded. It was clear she wasn't very fond of the toad-man.

Ning Du has his own master, so there's nothing wrong with him going there for training.

Because there's almost nothing left for him to learn at school. Staying in school would only solidify his foundation.

Why should you, Wang Hama, also go out for training like Ning Du?

After a year, I hope I haven't learned anything!

"Ning-ge? Didn't Ning-ge come back? He said in the group chat a couple of days ago that he was coming back right after training. What happened? Why didn't he come to school?"

Wang Li craned his neck to look into the classroom, but could only see a bunch of younger students.

The younger students, who had obviously heard of this "Toad Senior," all wore smiles.

Some were even greeting him with "Good morning, Brother Toad".

"You're back? You came back and didn't even call the school! You're getting more and more unruly. You're not even as good as a toad!"

Teacher Qin was very angry. She crossed her arms and shouted loudly.

Then, Teacher Qin waved her hand at Wang Li: "Never mind, I didn't say anything to you. It's good that you're back. How was your year of training at home? What were the results? Have you thought about how to take the exam? Do you need me to help you plan again?"

Wang Li smiled and said, "The training went very well. But I didn't train at home; I went to the Guardian Building. Teacher, I came back today to invite you to be my witness."

"What witness? You're not getting married, are you? Young man! Don't be so naive!"

Teacher Qin glared at him.

Wang Li quickly waved his hand: "Who's getting married? It's not a wedding. Teacher, I want to take a certification exam, and I have an appointment for this morning. Why don't you come with me and be a witness, hahaha, so those people won't rip me off. You know, my uncle is a real swindler."

Teacher Qin was slightly taken aback when she heard about the grading exam.

"Leveling exam? Dust level? Hmm, you've leveled up pretty fast. Okay, your teacher will go with you later."

Wang Li laughed and said, "It's not the Dust level; I've already got the Dust level. Teacher, it's the Wind level!"
