Chapter 23: Human Successor
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"An alternate dimension opening?" You Chu repeated the word.
Three minutes ago, Cen Xue had pulled him into the corridor outside the laboratory and briefed him on the ins and outs of exploring the Blue City and exploring alternate dimensions.
"That's right. The Summoner Center in Blue City just released the news. According to their prediction, the entrance should open within a week," Cen Xue said. "Sign up now. Within three days, the center will organize the applicants for an assessment. If they pass the assessment, they can enter."
You Chu's mind was already active when he heard this.
Alternate dimensions, ruins, mystic realms… No matter what name he changed, wasn't this the usual dungeon setting in novels?
You Chu had read many novels when he was studying.
According to the routine, not long after the protagonist transmigrated, he would always coincidentally encounter a new dungeon opening. Then, the dungeon would usually be a newbie-type dungeon. Those who were stronger than the protagonist would be hung up by the protagonist.
Then, the protagonist would often obtain piles of benefits in such dungeons. They were an important source of early development.
It could be seen that sometimes there were benefits to being small. If it was too big, it might not be able to take it sometimes.
Although You Chu did not expect himself to have the same protagonist aura as the transmigrator in novels, such an opportunity was naturally not to be missed.
"I guess all the spaces this time are bronze Summoners?" You Chu probed.
In the end, Cen Xue actually nodded. "Yes."
You Chu brightened.
'Good God, that's true!'
As expected, the protagonist's opportunity had arrived. This wave of development would definitely make him rich…
In the end, Cen Xue muttered, "Of course they're all bronze. How many Summoners above bronze can there be in a small city like Blue City?"
You Chu Chu: †
'Aye? Wait a minute, I thought only bronze was allowed?'
"Moreover, the danger rating of this dimensional space is only 'low'. This level of space is not attractive to higher-level Summoners…"
"… Of course, if it weren't for that, they wouldn't be open to all the Summoners in the city."
You Chu understood.
It wasn't that high-ranking big shots couldn't go, but that they didn't think much of it.
It turned out that it wasn't his protagonist halo that had encountered exclusive benefits. He had been happy for nothing…
Cen Xue continued, "Actually, a newbie like you who has just become a Summoner a few days ago, I usually won't recommend you to participate. After all, it's an alternate dimension. It might still be dangerous to be alone outside.
"However, we all know that you're not an ordinary newbie. You learn theoretical knowledge very quickly. It's indeed necessary to replenish your combat experience, in case your skills and strength are not compatible…"
"Eh, does that mean you're not going?" You Chu could tell what she meant.
Initially, he had hoped that Senior would be able to go to the alternate dimension to take advantage of the situation. But now, it sounded like she did not intend to go.
"Why? Are you afraid of going alone?" Cen Xue smiled. "I'm just mentioning it. Of course, the decision is yours. If you don't want to go, forget it…"
"Of course not." You Chu held his head high.
As the saying went, nothing ventured, nothing gained. Of course, men should not be afraid when it was time to attack.
Back then, Zhao Zilong had gone in and out of Changban Slope seven times. When he came out, he even brought a child with him. Today, he was just a low-level alien world. It was not enough to scare him.
In the first place, he needed the opportunity to continue farming Reputation Points. This was the perfect opportunity to deliver himself to him. There was no reason not to go.
Of course, it mainly depended on whether it was dangerous.
If it was really dangerous, it would definitely be better next time.
Reputation points and resources were important, but his life was more important.
"It won't be a problem. It's just a low-level alternate dimension." Cen Xue patted his shoulder. "And since the Summoner Center in Blue City has released exploration rights, that means they've determined that there's nothing dangerous in this dimension. Nothing will happen."
Cen Xue indeed thought so too.
She had been to many mid-level and even high-level spaces, and there had never been any problems. What could go wrong in a low-level space?
"Senior, are you really not going?"
That made sense, but You Chu still felt that it was more stable with his senior protecting him.
"I'm not going." Cen Xue shook her head. "The mayor of Blue City invited me to dinner on the night of the event. There's also the head of the Summoner Center. I can't leave. If you want to go together, you can go with the seniors in the training hall. Many of them must be going…"
You Chu thought to himself that they were too lousy. It was still uncertain who would lead who…
However, You Chu's focus was on the first half of her sentence.
Good lord, was Senior a big shot who was chatting and laughing with the mayor?
He once again realized how high the status of Summoners in this world was. For example, Cen Xue had yet to graduate from school, but when she returned home during the holidays, she was actually invited by the mayor.
However, it made sense. After all, she had just said that there were not many Summoners above the silver level in a third-tier city like Blue City. It was only natural for someone like Senior Cen to be respected.
Thinking of this, You Chu couldn't help but ask, "By the way, Senior, I don't think I know yet. What level are you at now?"
"Me?" Cen Xue thought for a moment. "My aptitude is average, and my progress is average. I just reached gold this year."
You Chu was speechless.
Redefining average aptitude.
"Senior, are you saying that your progress is average?" You Chu asked softly.
Although he had never been to Jiangdu Summoners University, he guessed that even if he was there, he shouldn't be able to go everywhere, right?
Cen Xue tilted her head and pondered for a moment.
"Senior Luo Qing," Cen Xue said seriously. "She's already a damond level Summoner, and she has a chance to become a Master this year."
You Chu was speechless.
He felt like a newbie who had accidentally entered a group of big shots.
The group except my man. JPG.
After giving these instructions, Cen Xue quickly went to do her own things.
Although You Chu was looking forward to exploring the alternate space and obtaining resources, he did not become complacent.
Cen Xue said that she would help You Chu register online today and only report to the scene tomorrow.
So what he had to do today hadn't changed.
As planned, You Chu turned back to the lab and got back to work.
A ruthless card-creating machine.
It was strange. He was clearly the latest newbie in the entire laboratory. Just now, when he was called out by Cen Xue, the students in the laboratory felt relaxed for no reason.
Now that he had finished speaking, the students immediately tensed up reflexively.
It was really strange.
What was even stranger was that many students did not come to the laboratory often. Even if they did, they would often slack off.
But as time passed today, the lab attendance had increased significantly. Even the slackers seemed to be fewer than usual.
Indeed, practice had proven that not only could one pass on one's knowledge to others, but one could also pass it on through hard work.
We generally use one word to describe this situation.
Tedious.
After a while, the rumbling of the Card Creator in front of You Chu slowly stopped. The surrounding students could not help but heave a sigh of relief as the rumbling of the machine gradually stopped.
It finally stopped.
Then, as expected, another successful refinement.
The students realized that the most terrifying thing was that they had actually started to slowly accept this setting. This fellow had never failed in creating cards since last night…
After obtaining another card, You Chu checked his reputation points.
Emmm was indeed lower than it had been the night before.
It seemed that his seniors were slowly accepting the unscientific setting in him, and their shock at his card refinement was gradually decreasing.
As expected, this trip to the alternate dimension was very necessary. It was time to change the environment and find new sources.
When the surrounding students saw this top student get up from his seat, they could guess that he was definitely going to the warehouse again. Then, he would come back within ten minutes to continue rolling.
Now it was just the calm before the storm.
Unexpectedly, You Chu got up and was about to go out when he thought about it and sat back down.
The students were speechless.
Could it be that this heartless card creating machine had finally decided to take a break?
You Chu sat down again and glanced at Moonlight, who was standing beside him like a little transparent.
He had to exchange for materials every time. It was quite troublesome to make two trips back and forth, which affected his efficiency…
So he asked Moonlight, "By the way, why don't I write down the materials for the next trip and you can go to the warehouse and get them for me? Can you do that?"
Moonlight tilted her head, as if trying to think if there was anything in the entire mission that she could not do. Then she nodded uncertainly.
'I'm sure you can.'
You Chu quickly found paper and pen and wrote down the next material he needed. He handed it to Moonlight and stroked her head.
"I'll leave it to you."
Moonlight nodded, clutching the paper her master had given carefully in both hands, and went at once.
Of course, You Chu could not waste this time.
He took out a book about spell spirits that he had borrowed from the library yesterday. He crossed his legs and leaned back in his chair to chew on it seriously.
The strong knew how to take advantage of the situation.
He took advantage of the free time in the middle of the refining card to catch up on his theoretical knowledge.
The students were speechless.
'It's muddy!'
