Chapter 123: Emerging

Geli Haileier watched Gao De's back disappear from his sight.

He really couldn't do anything.

The academy's rules, even if he came from the Haileier family, even if he was the Alchemy Department Chief, infinitely close to a 2nd-circle magic user, he absolutely dared not violate them.

After all, in the Shengxi Encheng realm, if the Shengxi Encheng imperial family was the number one magic user force, then the number two was undoubtedly the Sairisi Magic Academy.

And this number two, before the fall of the Shengxi Encheng realm, should not change.

Geli Haileier absolutely dared not act recklessly in the academy.

"This country bumpkin, what is his background? This courage doesn't look like he came from the countryside."

Thinking of Gao De's posture just now, Geli Haileier couldn't help but grit his teeth in his heart.

His father, more than ten years ago, in order to let him enter the Sairisi Magic Academy with the highest treatment, sent people to Bremen City, just to help him get a recommendation letter from the former Dean "Jia Wen Hoge."

The result was failure.

It is said that the last descendant of the Norman family finally refused to give up the recommendation letter, took advantage of the carelessness of the people sent by his father, took the recommendation letter and fled, and had since disappeared.

This matter had originally passed.

Although he failed to enter the Sairisi Academy with the highest treatment through the recommendation letter, with the power and status of the Haileier family, it was not difficult to obtain a quota to study at the Sairisi Academy.

And after entering the Sairisi Academy through this quota, with the support of family resources, he had achieved some success, and even became the chief of the Alchemy Department for the past two years.

This matter had long been thrown behind his head by him.

Until his father received news yesterday that someone had entered the Sairisi Academy through the former Dean Jia Wen Hoge's "recommendation letter."

And according to his father's statement, Jia Wen Hoge issued a total of two "recommendation letters" during his tenure.

One was given to their Haileier family, and the other was in the hands of the Norman family.

So, undoubtedly, the "recommendation letter" used by Gao De was the one that should have "belonged" to him.

Upon hearing this news, Geli Haileier was suddenly filled with an unknown fire, and the memory that had already been forgotten by him was all restored.

In his heart, that "recommendation letter" was equivalent to his thing.

Now it was used by a wild magic user from the countryside, just like a petty thief stole his thing.

How could he not be annoyed? Besides, why should a wild magic user from the countryside enjoy the treatment he hadn't enjoyed?

It was just that, thinking he was sure to win, he came to the door, but received such a response, which also made Geli Haileier angry and confused... Gao De let go of his footsteps, familiar with the road, and before long, arrived at the bottom of Kuli Cliff again.

The matter in the restaurant did not bring too much ripple to his heart.

In fact, anyone who experienced a situation where "life and death were only in a single thought" at the beginning of crossing over, the so-called "opening" stage, would find it very difficult to be affected by some "small things" later.

Gao De swam in the shallow water area of the river beach, approached the safety pillar, tied the safety rope to himself, took a deep breath, lowered his head, and dived into the river surface.

The river water in the afternoon, although still icy, was obviously not as unbearable as in the morning.

"The afternoon is the golden time for diving. I must bring dry food tomorrow; I can't waste time on the road." Gao De secretly said.

Compared to the rawness in the morning, he was already much more skilled at diving in the afternoon.

As the diving depth increased, Gao De had already triggered the spell model, cast 【Detect Magic+】, his eyes flashed with spiritual light, and he began to look for Maid Clams hidden in the mud and sand at the bottom of the river.

With the help of the spell, his clam-collecting efficiency only depended on the density of Maid Clams.

Three minutes later.

Gao De emerged from the river surface, slowly exhaling the turbid air in his lungs.

He scanned the shore casually.

Instructor Sha Hu had appeared on the river beach at some point.

Before all new students completed the enrollment task, he would accompany them throughout, both to look after and to supervise.

Gao De also gradually got used to Instructor Sha Hu's presence, took a big breath of air again, and dived again.

He kept repeating this action, entering the water back and forth, and then surfacing to breathe.

Half an hour after Gao De entered the water, the other five people also arrived at the bottom of Kuli Cliff one after another, picked up tools, entered the mine cave, and started the afternoon's work.

Although the "second-generation magic users" from noble families had different personalities, they were basically the more outstanding ones in their families who were sent to the Sairisi Academy.

They all understood a principle: try to adapt to things that cannot be changed.

Two hours later.

With a splash, Gao De emerged from the river surface near the safety pillar again. On the river beach, Luke, Kandisi, Jielika, and the other five were no longer working, but were resting.

They didn't discuss it, but they were actually all waiting for Gao De.

Seeing Gao De emerge from the river surface, Kaplan was the first to speak, not even waiting for Gao De to go ashore, and couldn't help but ask: "Did you collect any Maid Clams in the afternoon?"

"A small harvest." Gao De laughed and began to untie the back basket he had tied to the safety pillar.

For convenience, Gao De temporarily tied his back basket to the safety pillar, and the Maid Clams harvested were placed directly in the back basket, so there was no need to spend extra physical strength to go ashore.

Soon, he untied the back basket, carried it on his body, and then swam toward the shore with all his might.

The few people on the shore looked at each other, all somewhat incredulous.

Especially Kaplan, who stared at Gao De with wide eyes.

Two minutes later, Gao De went ashore.

He put the back basket aside, wiped his body, and began to put on clothes.

And Kaplan had already couldn't help but approach and open the back basket to check.

The next moment, his face showed a ghost-seeing expression.

Seeing Kaplan's expression, the others couldn't help it either, and they all gathered around to check.

Even Instructor Sha Hu's gaze glanced at Gao De's back basket "inadvertently."

In the back basket, three beautiful Maid Clams were lying quietly.

"Wow, three Maid Clams, this is equivalent to 150 kilograms of water-gold ore..." Kandisi was the first to exclaim, sincerely sighing: "God, comparing people with people is really infuriating!"

She gradually became familiar with and adapted to the intensity of mining in the afternoon, and her results were a bit more than in the morning, about seventeen or eighteen kilograms of water-gold ore.

But compared to Gao De... there was simply no comparison.

"My luck has always been okay." Gao De said with a smile.

"Collected four Maid Clams in one day, equivalent to 200 kilograms of water-gold ore."

Kandisi calculated seriously, "Gao De, if you continue this luck, you only need... 15 days to complete the enrollment task?!"

"Dean Jia Wen Hoge used 25 days!"

"It's just good luck to have this harvest on the first day; it's hard to say later, and the later you go, the harder it is to collect Maid Clams." Gao De responded calmly.

Hearing him say this, the others nodded.

This was indeed a fact; the total number of Maid Clams was just that much, and if more were collected in the first few days, it would naturally be harder to find later.

Here, Gao De had already put on his clothes.

"I'll go up first. The water-gold ore will be collected by people from the Alchemy Department, but the Maid Clams can only be sent to the Magic Potion Department by me personally."

He put the Maid Clams collected this afternoon into a new back basket and prepared to climb the cliff.

"By the way, Gao De, how did you offend the chief of the Alchemy Department?" Kandisi suddenly remembered this matter and hurriedly asked.

The matter in the restaurant at noon had spread in a small range.

Geli Haileier was also a student chief of a department, but he targeted a new student who hadn't completed the enrollment task and was said to have enrolled with the former Dean's recommendation letter.

This matter still had quite a "burst point," and there was more than one burst point, so it was reasonable to spread.

"What else could it be, because he could enroll with the highest treatment with a recommendation letter, and that Alchemy Department chief was unhappy..." Luo Yasi said sourly on the side.

Although he was also very "jealous" of Gao De's treatment, if he had to choose between Gao De and Geli Haileier, he would definitely choose Gao De, who was a new student like himself and barely counted as an acquaintance.

"Maybe." Gao De didn't take it to heart, carried the back basket containing the Maid Clams, and flew up the cliff.

That relaxed posture once again made the remaining five people jealous.

They hadn't even transported the water-gold ore they dug in the afternoon to the top of the cliff yet! On this day, the first day the enrollment task opened, Gao De submitted 4 Maid Clams to the Magic Potion Department, equivalent to 200 kilograms of water-gold ore.

Completed one-fifteenth of the enrollment task in one day.

Whether it was strength or luck, such a thing hadn't happened in the Sairisi Academy for a long time.

This news was fermenting along with the "gossip" that happened in the restaurant at noon.

Gao De, who was only a second-rank magic apprentice, was beginning to emerge in the academy in a special way.
