I'm a Pastor, what the hell is an Acute Gastroenteritis Outbreak Spell?!

“The Inferior Tribe? Radiation Island?”

Zheng Cheng asked, somewhat puzzled. He had never heard of this alien race or planet.

“The so-called Inferior Tribe is actually our term for them,” Li Jiao explained. “They call themselves ‘evolved humans’ or ‘radiated humans,’ and originally, they were just ordinary humans like us from Blue Star.”

“Legend has it that their technology surpassed ours on Blue Star a thousand years ago, but they too were invaded by aliens.”

“One nation, facing the risk of extinction, chose to align with the aliens and willingly became their tools.”

“During the final battle between the natives of this planet and the aliens, the people of this nation detonated 5,000 high-yield nuclear bombs at the bottom of the sea behind the human lines, unleashing a monstrous tsunami that swept away countless humans and aliens.”

“In that war, humanity was annihilated.”

“The people from that nation managed to survive, but the entire planet was already filled with nuclear radiation.”

“All life forms on the planet underwent mutation due to the radiation. There were kilometer-long sea beasts in the ocean, and plants had evolved into predatory mutant plants.”

“Even the few remaining land masses were nothing but wasteland, and the surviving humans gradually became mutants.”

Li Jiao’s voice carried a hint of terror as she recounted the story.

“We on Blue Star almost detonated nuclear bombs once too, but the pioneers stopped it!”

“They held the front lines against the aliens with their bodies, providing us ample time to train new professionists.”

“Otherwise, Blue Star might have followed in their footsteps.”

Zheng Cheng pondered the post-nuclear war world, and his expression changed.

“How strong are the Inferiors?”

Li Jiao hesitated: “We’re not clear about their overall strength, but they have a special profession system, which is primarily about strengthening or mutating their own bodies.”

“Some Inferiors have two heads or three arms, and some even have tentacles like tails… they come in all sorts of weird forms.”

“During the alien invasion three hundred years ago, the Inferior Tribe invaded our country, killing more than forty million people!”

“Then, they were driven out by one of the pioneers, Xiao Tianfeng.”

“After that, we went to war with the Inferior Tribe on the alien battlefield for over three hundred years.”

Li Jiao continued, “Earlier this year, we mobilized three pioneer families and the military to wipe out most of the Inferior Tribe’s army on the Fallen Islands, and even got close to their home planet.”

“Now, the Inferior Tribe’s home planet has only four relatively large islands and hundreds of small ones left, which we call ‘Radiation Island’.”

“All the high-level professionists above Level LV50 of the Inferior Tribe have been wiped out, leaving only low-level professionists and ordinary Inferiors who have undergone physical mutations.”

“The Radiation Island world is full of nuclear radiation, making it inhabitable for ordinary people of our Blue Star.”

“So after deliberation by the Elders Council, they decided to use Radiation Island as one of the places for new professionists’ tests.”

“And our joint college entrance exam for new professionists this year is part of this plan.”

Li Jiao’s voice carried a hint of excitement: “More than thirty state cities, each entering corresponding small islands on Radiation Island, will carry out the killing exam.”

“Kill all the Inferiors and professionists of the Inferior Tribe, cut off their left ears and bring them back as a measure of the exam score!”

“This… is the content of our joint college entrance exam for professionists this time!”

“Whoa…”

Listening to Li Jiao’s explanation, Zheng Cheng couldn’t help but gasp.

This kind of examination is ambitious! Invading planets, using other planets as examination territory, even using the life of alien tribes as examination criteria.

The more you kill, the higher your score. The higher your score, the more likely you are to be valued by the joint college or military academy, and hence admitted!

Zheng Cheng’s eyes moved, and he said, “You grade based on the left ears of the Inferior tribe… wouldn’t there be people who would attack their own comrades?”

Li Jiao was startled, and hesitated: “I’m not sure… maybe the Elders Council and the Department of Education have their own arrangements.”

“Also, this decision will probably be announced three days before the joint college entrance exam for professionists. Brother Cheng, you learned about it a week in advance so you can prepare.”

Zheng Cheng glanced at her: “How many days in advance did you know?”

Uh…” Li Jiao faltered. “About a month ago.”

Rich folks…

A few hours later, the figures of the eight finally arrived in a large cave.

A light circle only they could see was emitting a faint glow, as if it would disappear at any moment.

The secret realm entrance!

“Hurry out!”

“The entrance is about to disappear!”

Qin Zheng shouted, but stayed at the entrance to the secret realm.

“You guys go first!”

The others didn’t waste time, as Song Chaoyu was the first to leave, riding on Bai Jingqi’s huge python spirit beast, which swam quickly into the opening.

Then, Cai Shen, Li Jiao, Li Zhen, Yao Zhixue and the others left one after another.

Finally, it was Qin Zheng and Zheng Cheng, both of whom stepped out of the secret realm one after the other.

After the group left, the entrance to the secret realm immediately collapsed, dissolving into fragments of light.

After a while, a group of half-beast men finally arrived.

A dozen giant wolves circled the entrance, sniffing intently and howling repeatedly, while the half-beast men searched around.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard they searched, they could not find any trace of the eight people.

The events that had occurred in the mine were quickly reported to the half-beast men’s territory.

In particular, the death of Star Sand, a genius girl from their tribe, caused a significant blow to the half-beast tribe.

With a flash of light-

Zheng Cheng opened his eyes to brilliant light. He was back in Mt. Qin mine.

The secret realm entrance was a hive of activity.

A dozen nurses, dressed in white coats, surrounded them, anxiously checking their vital signs.

Two priests holding staves quickly surrounded Bai Jingqi, golden rays of light constantly rippling over him.

High-level priests.

Under the care of the two priests, Bai Jingqi had already opened his eyes.

The injuries on his body were visibly healing at a fast pace.

But he looked a bit pale and a little listless.

“Are you Zheng Cheng? Are you hurt? Is there any discomfort?”

A steady voice rang out abruptly. He turned his head and saw a square-faced middle-aged man in a white lab coat.

“I’m fine…”

Just as he was saying this, he saw two young, pretty nurses following the man. He staggered and collapsed into the arms of the nurse with the broadest chest.

“Uh… I feel a bit dizzy…”

The nurses frantically supported Zheng Cheng, and the square-faced middle-aged man said solemnly: “Dizziness is a big problem. Xiao Yun, Xiao Meng, get Zheng Cheng to the temporary treatment room and give him a thorough examination.”

“Yes, Doctor Zhang.”

With the help of the two young ladies, Zheng Cheng ‘staggered’ to the temporary treatment room.

“Rest for a while, Zheng Cheng. I’ll go fetch some medicine…”

“No need.”

Zheng Cheng said hurriedly, “Just sit here. I’m used to it. I just need to rest and massage a little, and I’ll be fine.”

“Ah?”

Seeing Zheng Cheng slightly raising his head, one of the nurses named Xiao Yun sat down with a smile and put his head on her lap.

She gently massaged his temples and asked softly, “How do you feel, Zheng Cheng?”

“Uh… good, much better. It’d be perfect if you could use a bit more strength”

Some time passed, and just when Zheng Cheng was almost asleep, the tent was suddenly lifted.

“You two, get out!”

A cold and familiar voice rang out. Zheng Cheng instinctively opened his eyes and quickly sat upright.

“Zhixue, don’t misunderstand. I was just resting…”

Damn it!

What am I explaining to her for!

Yao Zhixue gestured for the two nurses to leave, saying coldly, “Senior Wang Ning has called all of us. We’re all here now, just waiting for you.”

“I’m coming, I’m coming…”

Zheng Cheng washed his face and followed Yao Zhixue out of the mine.

As they were walking, Yao Zhixue suddenly said, “Two nurses, you sure know how to enjoy yourself.”

Zheng Cheng grinned and said, “Actually, I’d love to try your skills, Zhixue, if only you’d give me the chance”

“Hmph!”

Yao Zhixue gritted her teeth: “So, you want to try my skills? Sure, if you dare!”

Zheng Cheng puffed out his chest, “What’s there to be afraid of! You’re not a tigress, Zhixue.”

“I’ll bite you!”

The two of them exited the mine quickly, one after another, and arrived in a large tent where the other six people had already been waiting.

In addition, there was Wang Ning, the Night Watchman who had brought them here.

“Zheng Cheng is here,” Wang Ning pointed to a chair and said, “sit.”

Once everyone was seated, Wang Ning took a deep breath and said, “I’ve been told about what happened on this secret realm mission, and I will report it to the bureau.”

Then, he turned to Bai Jingqi and said, “Condolences.”

Bai Jingqi’s face was pale, but he nodded and said, “Thank you.”

“The bureau ordered us to collect corpses of creatures from the secret realm,” Wang Ning looked at Zheng Cheng, “Do you have any… ”

“They’re all here.”

Zheng Cheng raised his hand, “Should I give it to you now?”

Wang Ning shook his head, “No need for now. We’ll handle it when we return to the headquarters.”

Upon hearing this, Zheng Cheng relaxed.

There were quite a few bodies in his space ring, half-human, dwarf, black water mysterious snake, and the black sludge fishman…

They had all been dissected by him.

Except for the half-human BOSS killed by Qin Zheng, Bai Jingqi, and others.

He wondered what would come out of dissecting that half-human BOSS.

“Oh right, Jingqi.”

Zheng Cheng pulled out the space ring from his pocket and handed it to Bai Jingqi, “This is the spoils of war I got from the half-human priest. It should be Jingsheng’s personal effects. I’ll give them back to you.”

“What?!”

Bai Jingqi was stunned, and the others also instinctively looked over.

Especially at the space ring in his hand.

“Jingsheng…”

Bai Jingqi stood up, took a look at the ring, and said, “Yes, this is Jingsheng’s space ring.”

“Zheng Cheng…”

He looked at Zheng Cheng with utter seriousness, “This ring will be your spoils of war, but after all, it is Jingsheng’s possession.”

“When I return to the family, after giving it to the elders, our Bai Family will give you items of equal value to what’s in the ring.”

Zheng Cheng frowned, “I haven’t thought about any reward. This is a comrade’s relic. I’m just returning it to his family.”

Bai Jingqi’s eyes changed again, “This is not a reward, it’s… my personal gratitude.”

“Zheng Cheng, you have to accept it!”

“This…” Zheng Cheng could only shake his head and say, “Alright.”

“Alright.”

Wang Ning clapped his hands to attract everyone’s attention, “The mission here is over. We have to return to Chang’an City as quickly as possible.”

Zheng Cheng asked curiously, “What’s the rush, Brother Wang Ning?”

Wang Ning said gravely, “Captain Yunxiao…is gravely injured!”
