Chapter 582: Chapter 582

For Du You, traveling through different worlds was indeed addictive. Despite the risks, Du You never felt tired. On the contrary, it was like gaming, an aspect in which he differed from most people in this world.

Once his aura of laws had just disappeared, Du You took the two sisters into the next world.

Oakwood Plaque: World coordinates, able to reach the eastern part of the Jadeite Forest. (3/3)

Triggering the Oakwood Plaque, Du You and the two sisters turned into a large cluster of red light points and disappeared instantly.

However, this time was somewhat different from usual. Upon appearing, Du You cautiously surveyed his surroundings. But to Du You’s surprise, there were quite a few people around. They seemed to be in a bustling place, inside a city. Most of the surroundings were made of wood.

The city was designed very close to nature, with many plants planted inside.

What puzzled Du You was that most of the people here seemed to be humans. Wasn’t the Jadeite Forest a world dominated by elves, how did the humans come about?

More importantly, nobody seemed to be surprised at their sudden appearance. Wait, none of them have level tags on their heads, meaning they were either Professionals or Semi-Professionals.

"Why are there so many Professionals here?" Du You said, taken aback.

Just then, a passerby looked at them curiously and said, "Don’t you know? Then how did you get here? The Jadeite Forest is controlled by our Capital Academy. People connected with the Capital Academy, of course, can enter. This is a top-tier world known for its rich production of various medicinal materials. At least 20% of the medicinal materials needed in the academy come from here."

Du You was shocked, not expecting this to be the case. "Haha, I just became a student at Capital Academy this year, and I don’t know about this yet." Hearing Du You’s explanation, the man’s guarded look lessened.

"So, you’re one of us. By the way, where’s your student badge?"

Without hesitation, Du You took it out and showed him, which completely dispelled the man’s suspicions.

"Oh, you really are one of us. Why didn’t you mention it sooner? I thought someone had secretly broken in. You know, this world is strictly controlled by our academy. If outsiders enter by accident, they will be expelled."

Suddenly, the man seemed to remember something and lowered his voice, "Remember, do not bring outsiders here, and the world coordinates of this place are only produced by our academy. Don’t sell them outside, the academy would recycle them."

Du You nodded, "I understand, don’t worry."

The man patted Du You on the shoulder, "If you need anything, go over there, to that shop, just ask for Old Li. This world isn’t much dangerous, just don’t venture inside the Jadeite Forest."

After saying this, the man left, looking quite busy.

"Master, our mission, it seems somewhat..."

Mission, what mission? Suddenly, Du You remembered the main mission, were there any issues with the mission?

Du You quickly opened the panel, but after seeing the mission, Du You was puzzled.

Main mission: Plant a thousand trees, making sure each sapling survives.

Having been through many worlds and encountered various missions, this was the first time Du You encountered a mission to plant trees. "Fine, let’s go buy some saplings first."

Du You went to a nearby stall and asked the vendor, "Brother, where can I buy some tree saplings?" The man had no level tag over his head, indicating he was a Professional. It would be easier to talk to such people.

The middle-aged man at the stall looked puzzled, "Tree saplings from this world? No need to buy them, they’re everywhere. Once you’re out of the city, you can find them anywhere." It was that simple? Du You thought.

Du You then asked in a low voice, "Brother, I heard that the unicorns of this world are very famous. Do you know where I can find them?"

"You’re looking for a unicorn? You better give up on that. That place is really dangerous."

"I just want to learn more about it. Who knows, I might get lucky in the future."

The stall owner shook his head, "Alright, if you want to know, I’ll tell you. Unicorns are typically found near Unicorn Lake in the depths of the Jadeite Forest. If you want smaller ones, you’ll have to go around back. That means passing through the Gloomy Canyon, if you don’t have enough strength, you’d better give up on it. This world of ours is a Fifth-Tier world."

A Fifth-Tier world meant that this world could accommodate beings only up to the fifth-tier, but the exact number was uncertain. There may just be one or two fifth-tier beings, or they might be all over the place. However, none could break through to the Sixth Tier.

Such an Otherworld was not a high-rank one, but its rank wasn’t low either.

As a mere Second-Tier Professional, even though he could counter those with slightly lower Tier-Three strength, facing the real powerhouses in this world, Du You and his team were utterly powerless.

"Thank you," Du You said in a low voice, and then he began to calculate in his heart.

"Let’s go, leave the city first." The two sisters nodded and followed Du You out of the city.

"We will first go through Gloomy Canyon and plant trees along the way, thereby completing the main mission."

No matter what, this task had to be done. If they failed, there would be no turning back. Having prepared for so long, Du You wasn’t the type to give up close to starting the plan.

As they reached the city gate, Du You overheard a conversation.

"Have you heard? Again, the seniors of grade eight failed to find a unicorn."

"Well, such things happen many times each year. Unicorns, such high-ranked creatures, are not easy to find. Some people insist on meddling, and if they don’t get it, they still try to persist. It’s simply a death wish."

"They were lucky, only two people died, but such a loss is still considerable."

After all, they were from the Capital University. The number of students who actually die each year at the Capital University is minimal. It has never reached the death index. How could the highly capable students be carelessly killed?

"Due to their meddling, the path through the Gloomy Canyon is even more dangerous now. But if they take the other route, it will all come down to luck. If they’re lucky, they can get in, but if they’re unlucky, then..."

"Why bother about such things? The path was originally treacherous. The elves are not fools. Every time someone comes this way, it’d be strange if the elves didn’t increase their defenses. If it wasn’t for the harsh conditions, the elves would have stationed troops there."
