Chapter 114: Chapter 114

Lying in bed, Du You felt a bit melancholic, not expecting that it would be time to part ways so soon.

Truth be told, there was no alternative. After all, not everyone is suited to form a whole and long-term team. If there are no suitable people, forcibly grouping them together might produce worse results than splitting them apart.

The boss saw this coming long ago, so he took the initiative to mention it. Moreover, the boss has his own path to take.

Du You knew that the boss had many secrets, and perhaps was not as simple as he appeared on the surface. The boss was extremely familiar with many things unknown to the average person. If he himself couldn’t see it, then he would be a fool.

He was even more special. In order to hide his own secrets, Du You could hardly team up with other people for a long time. If something was detected, the consequences would be serious.

Therefore, he may have to fight alone in the Derived World for a long time.

Since they would inevitably part ways sooner or later, there’s no need to fret over it now. Instead, he should focus on how he can do better on his own path.

Poor Lao Er though, this guy could actually team up with anyone. Now that they’re both going their separate ways, Lao Er can only split off too. Let’s hope Lao Er finds a good team in the future.

As time passed, Du You woke up early in the morning after a good night’s sleep.

Just then, he suddenly received a message from the boss. "Are you up? Reply to me if you are." Newest update provıded by 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝕟𝕖𝕥

"Boss? Is something the matter?" Du You responded in puzzity. Through the party chat feature on the panel, as long as the boss knew his number, he could communicate with him within a certain distance.

"I’ve just contacted Xi Qianxue’s team for you. They want to complete a big task and still have to go out. I recommended you to them, so they should be back by now."

Recommended him? What’s going on? Du You felt a bit aggrieved. He had clearly decided to operate solo.

"Don’t worry, I’ve already cleared it with them. Originally, they intended to invite Lin Feng’s team, but I said your individual strength is stronger than Lin Feng’s entire team, so they changed their cooperative partners temporarily."

Du You seemed to see the boss’s insidious smile, and he understood the boss’s meaning.

In reality, this move not only benefits him but also slows down Lin Feng’s development pace. The boss knew that there was a dispute between Lin Feng, him, and Lao Er. Even though he never intervened superficially, he had considered it. With this move, Lin Feng’s development speed would surely be reduced by over half.

Whether it was for his sake or Lao Er, it seemed appropriate to hinder that guy a bit.

"Alright, I understand. Where are they now?"

Du You agreed, and a smile crossed Liu Jian’s face: "Just wait in the task hall, it shouldn’t take long."

Du You nodded and walked towards the task hall. Indeed, in less than five minutes, Xi Qianxue and her team arrived. "Hello, Du You, it’s nice to see you again. I heard from Liu Jian that you’re already at level 3, and you have two powerful pets. Your spellcaster’s abilities are also quite good. We were wondering if you would be up for this task."

So Xi Qianxue had already selected her mission. This mission was still about exterminating bandits, but not the ordinary kind. This time they were a large group of beastmen and humans mixed in together.

The sheer number of this troop was enough to intimidate any person. It was a bandit group with over five hundred members, their collective strength was terrifying. Exterminating such a bandit team would not be an easy task.

"Their leader has reached level 4, and we heard that you had previously hunted a level 4 Heavily Armed Warrior on your own, otherwise we wouldn’t have chosen you." Daniu, standing next to her, spoke.

Du You didn’t mind and nodded slightly: "No problem, I can handle this task."

"Then we look forward to our cooperation." Xi Qianxue extended her hand. Du You reached out and shook hands with Xi Qianxue.

But Du You couldn’t help but ask: "Do you trust me this much? Don’t you want to test my strength?"

Xi Qianxue said casually: "I trust Liu Jian’s recommendation. Knowing his character, he wouldn’t randomly say things." So that’s how it is. The boss actually has such a high reputation. Du You felt a bit surprised.

"Alright, if that’s the case, when do we depart?"

"We’ve prepared everything. We can start as soon as you’re ready."

Hearing this, Du You replied without hesitation: "The things I need are always with me, so let’s get going now."

Xi Qianxue nodded, and then she led her team once again through the special tunnel to leave the city, this time heading north. Given their speed, they should be able to reach their destination by the next day. It was quite a distance.

The two human cities were not very far apart, but the distance between a human city and a beast city was much farther. After all, they were technically enemy forces.

On the road, Du You also learned the name of the girl who was always by Xi Qianxue’s side, Lan Xiaodie. She was the only other Summoner class student besides himself. However, she always looked timid and frail, like anything could scare her. She was always hiding behind Xi Qianxue, looking so shy that it made people want to bully her.

After a few interactions, Du You lost interest. She was really hard to communicate with.

Du You also learned about Lan Xiaodie’s profession. She was an Elemental Summoner and even specialized as an Earth Elemental Summoner.

Du You didn’t know much about this profession, but he knew that the strength of Elemental Summoners was not weak. It was one of the more popular professions, but this profession required a certain level of support.

It seemed that Lan Xiaodie was firmly bound to Xi Qianxue. As for Daniu, that guy was like Xi Qianxue’s guard, completely obedient. His job was simple, just a warrior, nothing fancy.

Many people chose the common occupation of being a warrior, but not many could use it well. There were indeed warriors who had been trained to be very powerful, and strong warriors were not weaker than those of rare professions. Unfortunately, most warriors were like cannon fodder, which had sullied the reputation of this profession.

As for Xi Qianxue’s profession, Du You didn’t know, but he knew that Xi Qianxue seemed to be very proficient in cold ice magic. Either she was a Cold Ice Mage, or a similar profession that wouldn’t be too far off.

Along the way, everyone didn’t talk much. They just familiarized themselves with each other’s professional specialties and continued on their journey.
