Chapter 22

Through self-introductions, the students of Class One learned that these three were all battle-hardened Bai Yin-level Beast Tamer!

Tan Guo stepped forward and pointed to the row of crude wooden huts: "From now on, you'll live there!"

Many students from Class One ran over to take a look and felt utterly crushed.

The wooden huts weren't small—about thirty square meters—but inside, there was no furniture except a single bed, and even the bed had no sheets or blankets, only a bare shelf.

Someone asked: "What do we eat?"

Tan Guo smiled: "That's your problem!"

"Our problem?"

"Exactly!" Tan Guo pointed to a large building in the center of the plain: "See that building? That's where you buy things—you can get all kinds of daily necessities, medicines, even luxuries like tobacco and alcohol."

"Is the school trying to rip us off?"

"Of course not!" Tan Guo shook his head. "That supermarket doesn't accept any currency—it only takes beast corpses, pelts, core crystals, and fresh medicinal herbs or minerals. Over this semester, you must rely on your own strength to survive!"

"What? Is the school really this cruel?" Some students from Class One were already tense; one even whispered, "Didn't last year's seniors have it easier?"

Tan Guo ignored their complaints and continued: "The beasts in this area have been cleared by Qixing City's Beast Tamers—only Tie Tie-level ones remain. Patrols of Beast Tamers guard the perimeter against Bronze-level intruders… When hunting, you may form teams or act alone, but you are strictly forbidden from forcibly seizing others' kills—violators will be expelled!"

A student asked: "Do we still have classes?"

"Of course you do!" Tan Guo nodded. "Every morning, you'll have only one hour of class—we'll teach combat experience and wilderness survival skills. Attendance is optional—no roll call. The rest of the time is combat, real combat. Do you understand?"

"Understood!"

Many students spoke weakly.

They could already glimpse the miserable life ahead of them!

Tan Guo looked at Li Meng, who stepped forward and said: "By the way, there's one more thing—behind the supermarket, there are rental houses. To rent one, you also need beast corpses."

A student from Class One shouted: "Then we'll just stay in the wooden huts!"

Li Meng looked as if she were considering their welfare: "But the wooden huts have no toilet, no bathroom, no…"
