Full-Time Magister: I Have a Crafting Spawn

Before departing for Jinlin City, an exchange student meeting was held under the chairmanship of Dean Songhe.

The meeting covered the main points that Professor Qiu had mentioned, but with more specific details, including the mission of this training exercise.

It is not much different from the original timeline.

Everyone needs to record information such as the number, level, and distribution of demons in Jinlin City in order to write a paper to assess whether Jinlin City is still suitable for reconstruction.

………………

………………

Jinlin City is located in the Dongting Lake Plain in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

It may sound ordinary, but Dongting Lake is not a famous scenic spot in the world. This huge lake, covering an area of ​​nearly 40,000 square kilometers, is often mentioned in books as the third largest lake in China.

Jiang Chuan still remembers the description of Dongting Lake in his geography textbook from middle school.

This enormous lake is inhabited by a diverse array of demonic creatures, the number of which is countless. To this day, no one knows exactly how many demons reside in Dongting Lake, or whether any terrifying beings lurk within it.

"According to previous reports, the city of Jinlin we're going to this time is mainly occupied by the Lizard-Skull Giant Demon tribe." On the plane, Jingjing from the Imperial Capital Academy, who has a photographic memory, told everyone about the situation in Jinlin City that they didn't know before.

"A tribe? What does 'tribe' mean?" This touched on another area where Mo Fan was unfamiliar with the subject, and he couldn't help but ask.

Jingjing was surprised that Mo Fan, who had been admitted to Mingzhu Academy, didn't even know about tribes, so she explained to Mo Fan the classification of the scale of gregarious demons.

Simply put, a group of 50 monsters of a certain species can be called a nest.

A population consists of more than 50 nests.

If there are more than 10 populations, then it can be called a tribe.

In addition, demons that are in their infancy, growth, or old age stages and whose combat power is insufficient are not included in the scale calculation.

In other words, a demon tribe has at least 25000 demons at their peak combat power, and if you include the number of demons at other stages, there are at least 50,000 to 60,000.

Of course, the Lizard Skull Giant tribe that occupied JH City could not be all Lizard Skull Giants there, only a part of them. Their main base was still Dongting Lake.

"Once a demonic group invades the city, we need to sound a blood-red alert. Jinlin City did just that, thankfully the retreat was timely, otherwise there would definitely have been heavy casualties," Jingjing said.

Her words reminded Mo Fan of the bloodbath in Bo City.

This is not a good memory.

The cabin suddenly fell silent.

……

Several hours later, the plane slowly landed at the airport closest to Jinlin City.

Professor Qiu disappeared after giving everyone an item, just as he said, offering no other help whatsoever.

"Sigh, I have a feeling I'm going to die in Jinlin City." Zhao Manyan said with a bitter face, holding the magic signal pen.

"This thing is just for decoration. With our strength, if we really encounter a danger that we can't handle, our rescue speed won't be fast enough," Luo Song complained.

Everyone else had similar thoughts, but they all carefully put the signal pen into their pockets.

"Alright, we're all here now. Let's plan what to do next," Mu Nujiao comforted her.

"Hmm, I suggest we elect a captain who has command over both teams. Otherwise, if our two teams can't reach a consensus when something happens, it'll be really dangerous in the wild," Jingjing suggested.

Her words were immediately agreed upon by everyone, but the question remains: who should be chosen as the team leader?

"I've always been the commander in the team. Since we're going to cooperate in this training exercise, there can't be no disobedience among so many people. Give me command this time too." Lu Zhenghe was the first to step forward, intending to take over command.

Mu Ningxue did not speak.

Although she is the captain of the Imperial Capital Academy team, she doesn't usually take the lead.

In this situation, it's better to have someone with a broad perspective in charge.

Xu Dalong, Liao Mingxuan, Jingjing, and others shared the same thought and had no objection to Lu Zhenghe taking over command.

"No, Song Xia will be in charge," Jiang Chuan said directly.

To avoid any trouble from Lu Zhenghe, it's better to let Song Xia handle things. She has a good overall perspective and is very popular.

Jiang Chuan's words received support from Mo Fan and others.

With someone in charge on both sides, things are getting complicated.

"Why don't we have Song Xia and Lu Zhenghe discuss it together?" Mu Nujiao suggested.

"Let Song Xia be the commander." Jiang Chuan gestured for Song Xia to step forward, and then looked at Mu Ningxue.

"What are you doing...?"

Before Lu Zhenghe could utter his words of dissatisfaction, Mu Ningxue interrupted him: "I agree."

"..."

Lu Zhenghe looked at Mu Ningxue in disbelief.

"The captain agrees, and so do I," the others, who had been pressured by Lu Zhenghe, immediately chimed in.

Xu Dalong and his group followed closely behind.

Seeing this, Lu Zhenghe could only swallow his anger, but he still said sarcastically at the end, "Fine, I'll give you command, but don't lead us astray."

……

The team set off.

The route follows the abandoned railway tracks all the way to Jinlin City.

Everyone thought it was an easy road to travel, but when they arrived, they found that the railway tracks were overgrown with weeds that were almost half a person tall.

Fortunately, they were just ordinary weeds and no powerful demons were hiding there. Every few hundred meters, you would encounter one or two servant-level demons, which were no match for a group of mid-level mages.

So the journey was relatively smooth.

However, when the railway tracks extended deep into a mountain, everyone stopped in their tracks.

"I've looked at the map. This tunnel is two kilometers long, and there must be a lot of demons living inside. I suggest we abandon the tunnel and cross the mountain to the other side," Song Xia said, putting down the map.

"It took too long to flip over," Mu Nujiao said.

"That's right, don't you even look at what this mountain looks like? By the time we get over it, who knows how much time will have passed?" Lu Zhenghe seized the opportunity to start contradicting him.

He wanted to refute Song Xia.

Song Xia ignored him and instead looked at Jiang Chuan, the pillar of the group.

"Let's go through the tunnel," Jiang Chuan said calmly.

After this statement was made, there were no further opinions.

However, who will lead the way and who will cover the rear is something that needs further discussion.

After a brief discussion, Xu Dalong, who possessed the Earth element, brought up the rear, while Shen Mingxiao and Liao Mingxuan, who possessed the Wind element, led the way. Two days behind them were Zhao Manyan and Song Xia, who possessed the Light element, and were responsible for providing illumination.

Two bright lights shone above the group as they slowly entered the dark tunnel.

Because the tunnel had been neglected for a long time, there was a lingering foul air inside, which Zhao Manyan and Song Xia had to occasionally throw out rays of light to dispel.

Jiang Chuan activated his full mental power, constantly paying attention to changes in his surroundings.

If he remembered correctly, there was a nest of cave demon slaves in the tunnel.

We can wipe them all out in a bit.
