Chapter 133: Magic University – First Entry

After logging onto the big TP, Sang Chu sent a message to everyone in the GuangX group chat: [I want to go on a world journey with you all. This time it’s a targeted trip, and our destination is the Magic University. It could be very dangerous—are you willing to come?]

Upon seeing this, everyone was shocked. After the initial surprise, they all looked at Sang Chu with concern and quickly replied in the GuangX chat: [Sis, can I come too? Is that okay?...]

[Yes, the journey will be in January. During that month, everyone should focus on cultivating. The mutated plants there are very dangerous. If my abilities don’t improve, I’m afraid I won’t even be able to protect the people who go with me.]

Sang Jingwen: [Are you saying there’s a risk of death?]

Sang Chu nodded: [Yes. So, I plan to go to the world first, and after I return, I’ll look for the mutated plant. Only if my overall strength can restrain it will we have a chance of taking it down!]

Just relying on weapons probably won’t work. Even if she had found that mutated plant, just seeing it absorb moonlight and devour ability users to hatch crystal cores was enough to make anyone’s jaw drop. If she recklessly went to find the mutated plant now, without improved abilities, she’d be doomed.

That place is basically a giant crystal core market. If we can’t take it down, it’s a pity. Besides, many people there have already been affected by it to some extent, which is why they can’t leave.

Although she didn’t know how the mutated plant managed to do all this, for safety’s sake, she had to improve her abilities first.

Lu Minli hesitated for a long time before asking: [If I die there, will I still come back to the real world?]

Sang Chu sometimes disappeared for a night, sometimes for a whole month—her schedule was so unpredictable.

Sang Chu: [Don’t worry, I’ll spend points to bring you back to the real world. Everyone think it over.]

Everyone fell silent for a moment. Finally, it was Xia Ye who broke the silence and was the first to reply: [I want to go!]

Sang Jingwen: [I’ll go too.]

Yi Ping: [Me too!]

Everyone voiced their agreement, and only then did Lu Minli reply: [Alright, let’s go, Ah Chu. I trust you.]

[We’re all friends, no need to be so polite. I’ll prepare a safety rope for everyone, just in case we get separated.]

Sang Chu took out a white hemp rope and tied it around everyone’s wrists: [This rope can stretch and shrink at will, up to a hundred meters. Don’t worry, it won’t affect your daily life. I’m just tying it now to make sure we don’t get separated at the start.]

Afterwards, she checked everyone’s GuangX again, making sure even Yi Ping had one.

When the whistle blew, Sang Chu and her group boarded.

Qin Simian looked at Sang Chu, pursed her lips, and reminded her, “Magic University is very dangerous. The people there can control all kinds of strange abilities. You should check the trading market to see if there’s anything useful.”

Sang Chu: “Trading market?”

Tu You, squatting on her shoulder, laughed: “The trading market is a marketplace that connects all worlds, only accessible to official travelers.”

Qin Simian: “That’s all. Go on your own now, time is limited, don’t dawdle.”

Sang Chu nodded and walked down.

“This is the trading market.”

It was straightforward, and everything was clear at a glance.

All around were display screens of goods. At this moment, Sang Chu felt like she was standing in a giant magic field.

Tu You knew Sang Chu didn’t know anything, so he skillfully typed “Magic University” into the search engine: “This function lets you sell off things you don’t need, and the top results are items that most people buy before entering Magic University.”

Tu You looked at the rankings in confusion: “Bamboo raft? What the heck is that?”

Sang Chu glanced at it—the bamboo raft was ranked first in quantity, followed by a whistle, which was described as something that could scare off magical creatures.

Further down were all sorts of strange items.

“Let’s buy the top ten items, and get an extra bamboo raft and a small boat, just in case.”

Tu You: “Okay.”

After a few operations, all the items appeared in Sang Chu’s inventory. Tu You quickly stored them all in his belly.

“What else do you want to buy?”

Sang Chu thought for a moment, and was just about to buy something else when the whistle sounded and she was suddenly kicked off by Qin Simian...

‘Splash—splash—’

With a series of loud splashes, Sang Chu, Yi Ping, and the others fell into the water. Tu You quickly pulled out the bamboo raft—thankfully, it was perfect for traveling on this water!

Tu You, while rescuing everyone, was extremely grateful that Sang Chu had tied them all together with the immortal-binding rope earlier. As long as she recited the spell, the rope could instantly shrink or extend, which allowed him to pull everyone up at once.

Sang Chu: “Damn, this starting point is such a trap!”

Mu Xue shivered from the cold: “This… this is Magic University? It’s terrifying!”

While she was in the water, she glanced down and saw the lakebed was deep and dark, giving her a very bad feeling.

Looking around at the bizarrely shaped mountains, the eerie green light, and the crows cawing harshly, she felt a chill in her heart.

Tu You handed out the clothes they bought from the market: “Now I get why these clothes are in the top ten. Hurry up and put them on, or you’ll catch a cold in this deep forest.”

He also handed out heat preservation potions to everyone.

At this moment, Sang Chu was standing on the bamboo raft, looking into the water.

The water here was very deep, the bottom unfathomable, but the surface was narrow. The size of the small bamboo raft was just right—any bigger and it wouldn’t work.

No wonder this item was ranked first in quantity.

After changing clothes, Sang Jingwen walked over to Sang Chu: “Sang Sang, go change your clothes. We’ll handle things for now.”

“Okay, bro, take this. No matter what monster you encounter, blow this whistle first.”

She wasn’t sure how to use the whistle, but the instructions said it could scare off magical creatures, so it was probably sound-related. Everyone had one—if they really ran into danger, it might come in handy.

Yi Ping stood next to Sang Jingwen, looking around nervously: “I didn’t expect this place to be Magic University. I thought I’d see magic flying everywhere.”

“No idea.”

Yi Ping: “Do you think there’s some kind of demon king here?”

Sang Chu walked over and reminded him: “Yi Ge, don’t joke around. Everyone needs to be careful—this place is dark and deep, probably full of danger.”

“Yeah, yeah.”

Sang Jingwen and Yi Ping stood at the front of the bamboo raft, Sang Chu and Tu You in the middle, Lu Minli and Mu Xue at the back.

The little bamboo raft had a self-propelling function, slowly drifting along the narrow river. The shadowy forest on both sides seemed to be silently watching over the river.

Suddenly, Mu Xue whispered, “Brother, Sang Sang, I think something is coming toward me!”"
