Chapter 521: Cross Lake
Liu Xing raised an eyebrow, looking at Alice with a hint of surprise. "This branch has a special mission? That’s unusual. After all, it’s located within a school, and the school isn’t under the control of the Deep Diving Society. So what kind of special mission could this branch have?"
Alice nodded. "That’s what I thought too. I have no idea what kind of special mission this branch could have, because I haven’t been able to find any information about it."
It seemed that the difficulty of the module in the Hound of Tindalos region had indeed increased by a level, as it had significantly reduced the difficulty of obtaining intelligence.
In the previous module in the Shoggoth Region, Liu Xing and his companions had been able to gather a lot of intelligence at the beginning. However, in this module, they had yet to gather any intelligence at all.
After all, the information about the Mysterious Studies Club had all been revealed by the Keeper, Bamboo Rat.
It seemed that this time, they would have to find the intelligence themselves from scratch.
"Alright, I’ll be going now. The Deep Diving Society should know that I’ve returned to the Island Nation soon, so I can’t stay here for long. Once I’ve decided where to open a bar, I’ll contact you," Alice said, standing up.
Liu Xing nodded. "Alright, we’ll contact you by phone then. But speaking of which, doesn’t the Deep Diving Society know your real identity? After all, the Cult of the Cadaver must have discovered you in England."
Alice chuckled confidently. "That’s true, but when we were in England, we also discovered that the Cult of the Cadaver and the Deep Diving Society are at odds with each other. The Cult of the Cadaver has never allowed the Deep Diving Society to operate in England, nor have they provided the Deep Diving Society with any information about us. So before I returned, I contacted an undercover agent who had become a mid-level executive in the Deep Diving Society. He told me that the Deep Diving Society still doesn’t know about me, so that’s why I dared to return to the Island Nation."
With that, Alice left.
It seemed that even secret cults were divided and suspicious of each other.
However, that was normal. After all, their goal was to rule the world. How could they truly cooperate?
This was a good thing.
After breakfast, Liu Xing and his companions decided to visit Tokyo Comprehensive University to see if they could find any information.
Since the new semester was starting in two days, Tokyo Comprehensive University was already bustling with activity. Many new students were carrying large bags and suitcases, preparing to move into their dormitories early.
Because Alice had pulled some strings, Liu Xing and his companions, who were supposed to live in the dormitories, had all become day students. They didn’t have to live in the dormitories with a bunch of strangers, which made it much easier for them to move around.
According to the new student handbook they had received when they enrolled, Tokyo Comprehensive University could be divided into two main areas. The east campus was the academic area, while the west campus was the living area. Liu Xing and his companions’ main target, the club activity area, was located on the east campus.
Therefore, Liu Xing and his companions went straight to the east campus.@@@@
The east campus had three teaching buildings and one laboratory building.
One of the teaching buildings was quite old, so the school had arranged for it to be used exclusively for club activities. Therefore, all the clubs that held their activities indoors were assigned to this Old Teaching Building.
When they arrived at the Old Teaching Building, Liu Xing and his companions saw that the various clubs had already put up their recruitment posters.
"Of course."
Everyone said in unison.
Soon, Liu Xing and his companions arrived at the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
Because there weren’t many people active in Tokyo Comprehensive University today, and it was already eleven o’clock in the morning, Liu Xing and his companions were able to "monopolize" the pavilion.
However, the scenery of the pavilion was nothing special. After all, strictly speaking, Cross Lake was a man-made lake, so the environment was naturally not as good as that of a natural lake... To put it simply, it lacked灵气.
Therefore, after Liu Xing and his companions looked around and found nothing, they returned the same way they came.
Because it was already noon, and Liu Xing and his companions weren’t really here to attend Tokyo Comprehensive University, they were not interested in their future learning environment. They left Tokyo Comprehensive University directly and found a random place nearby to eat.
Because Liu Xing and his companions were all Chinese (although Liu Xing and Ling Ishikawa were now only Chinese in spirit), they chose a restaurant that claimed to serve authentic Shudu cuisine.
After entering the restaurant, Zhang Wenbing, as the oldest person in the group, naturally took on the responsibility of ordering the dishes.
In order to verify whether this restaurant was authentic or not, Zhang Wenbing deliberately said to the waiter in Chinese, "We’ll have one serving of mapo tofu, boiled fish, twice-cooked pork, and kung pao chicken."
The waiter looked at Zhang Wenbing in surprise and said in Chinese, "Judging from your accent, you should be from the Magic Capital. We’re fellow countrymen."
Zhang Wenbing nodded and said with a smile, "Then it seems that your Shudu restaurant is not very authentic. After all, we people from the Magic Capital are not very good at eating spicy food."
The waiter shook his head with a smile and said, "No, no, no. I’m a student at Tokyo Comprehensive University. I’m just working part-time at this restaurant. The owner of this restaurant is a genuine Shudu native, and many of the ingredients are airlifted from China by the owner’s son. So I can guarantee that the Shudu cuisine at this restaurant is very authentic."
Zhang Jingxu nodded and said with a smile, "In that case, you’re our senior. The few of us are all freshmen at Tokyo Comprehensive University this year. Senior, you have to take care of us in the future."
"No problem. My name is Zhang Shiwu. I’m a third-year student majoring in management at Tokyo Comprehensive University. If you have any problems in the future, feel free to come to me. We’re all in a foreign country, so we definitely have to help each other." Zhang Shiwu said, patting his chest.
It was obvious that this Zhang Shiwu was the NPC who would provide basic information for their group in this module.
Therefore, after Zhang Jingxu asked Zhang Shiwu to submit the order to the kitchen, they pulled Zhang Shiwu down to sit and chat.
Soon, Zhang Jingxu naturally turned the conversation to the clubs at Tokyo Comprehensive University.
"Because Tokyo Comprehensive University is a comprehensive university, there are all kinds of clubs. However, in the last semester, because there were too many clubs, many clubs had conflicts with each other for various reasons, so quite a few clubs were disbanded." Zhang Shiwu said, taking a sip of water.
