"I heard that you encountered other hybrid races on your rescue mission in Siberia, Boss Cao? I also heard that they were quite powerful and could even command next-generation races?"
Fingel glanced at Novsky, who was sitting on a bench not far away, and seemed to be deliberately bringing up a sore spot.
He hadn't forgotten his part-time job as the head of the news department, and he couldn't miss such a good opportunity to get first-hand information.
Any content related to dragons is very popular on the Night Watchers forum.
Being a minister isn't easy; he has such a large group of people to support, and he really needs some sensational news to keep things going.
"If it weren't for this trip, I really wouldn't have known that there were so many mixed-race forces hiding in the shadows..."
"Cough cough!"
Cao Han was about to speak freely, but before he could get to the point, he was interrupted by Lucy Pallas's deliberate cough, who was sitting with her back to them.
Lucy Pallas stared at Fingel with a deathly gaze. "Senior, you should be aware of the Executive Department's regulations."
"What rule?" Cao Han asked, looking like a curious child.
To be honest, my position as an executive specialist was somewhat illegitimate. I hadn't even submitted the most basic application form before my mentor, von Schneider, put me on the list of executive specialists in the executive department.
Naturally, this newly hired executive specialist could not have attended a specialized training course, and was unaware of the executive department's regulations.
Lucy Pallas, on the other hand, although she was "passively" made into an executive officer halfway through her studies, she used her spare time to quickly memorize all the regulations of the executive department.
"The second major point and seventh sub-point of the Executive Department's regulations: The details of the mission must not be disclosed to anyone outside the mission!"
“I didn’t ask the boss to reveal the mission details, but rather some things that were not part of the mission,” Fingel stubbornly retorted.
"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You just want to get some news from your junior to post on the forum. Am I right? You're the king of paparazzi!"
When Lucy Pallas mentioned Fingel's nickname at the end, she practically spat out each word.
Seeing this, Fingel could only shrug and give up on continuing to pester her. Instead, his eyes, which were hiding a wicked smile, kept moving back and forth between Lucy Pallas and Cao Han. "King of Paparazzi is just one of my many nicknames."
In addition, I have another nickname: the late-night relationship expert.
Based on my experience, Lucy Pallas, between you and the boss... hehehe~~~
He deliberately didn't finish his sentence, instead revealing a smug, mischievous grin.
This was too much for Lucy Pallas, who had never been in a relationship, to handle, and she immediately lowered her head in embarrassment.
From Cao Han and Finger's perspective, all they could see were her bright red ears from behind.
Time flew by as they chatted idly.
Since they were in a public place, the two couldn't discuss anything too in-depth.
The number of passengers at Union Station is also decreasing.
Just as the hour and minute hands of the rather old-fashioned wall clock overlapped and pointed to 12, the sound of a train speeding past the tracks came from afar.
This sound is all too familiar to the students of Kassel College.
Every time I enter or leave Kassel College, I can't do without it—train CC0001
Led by Cao Han, the group entered the mysterious ticket gate, passed through the ancient red brick passage, and arrived at the remote platform used exclusively by the CC1000 train.
The platform is simple and elegant, but the train that stops in front of Moon Village is extremely advanced. Its shape is like a bullet and the trace it leaves behind, with silver World Tree patterns extending from the front of the train to the three carriages behind.
Suddenly, a ticket gate with a red carpet in front of it, which was never open, opened, and a ticket inspector in a dark green uniform walked out.
Ticket inspectors appearing at the train station is a perfectly normal thing, but this ticket inspector was too special. His dark green uniform was made of high-quality goat's paper, with gold thread embroidery on the cuffs and trouser creases. A pocket watch with a gold chain was tucked into the small pocket of his vest, and an intricate and antique badge hung in front of his feet, with a giant tree that was half withered and half flourishing on it.
When Cao Han took out his S-level student card, which he hadn't used in a long time, and placed it on the machine in the ticket inspector's hand, his basic information appeared on it.
The most eye-catching feature, of course, is the "S+" following the pedigree rating.
The moment the ticket inspector saw this section, his pupils dilated, revealing an expression of disbelief and shock. He was in charge of this train, but he had not received any prior notice that S+ level students would be taking the train.
The ticket inspector had only heard of Cao Han, the freshman hailed as the "strongest student" at Kassel College on the Night Watchers forum, but had never actually seen him.
I never expected the surprise to come so suddenly.
Although Cao Han's physique is not particularly striking, no one can deny his formidable strength.
Just by standing close to him, the ticket inspector could feel the aura of a powerful figure emanating from him.
"Junior Cao Han."
"Ok?"
"You're my fan! No, no, I mean I'm your idol!"
The ticket inspector was so nervous that he started to stammer and cursed himself inwardly for his quick tongue.
"You're my idol, I admire you so much, can I get your autograph?"
Mixed-race people also enjoy following celebrities, but the celebrities they follow are a little different from those that ordinary people follow.
"can."
Cao Han was initially a little surprised, not expecting to have fans, but considering it was a matter of personal freedom, he agreed to the request.
next second.
The ticket inspector miraculously pulled a photo and a pen from his small satchel and handed them over.
After Cao Han took the photo, he was shocked to see "himself" shirtless in the picture. When had he ever taken such a photo?
As I carefully examined the background of the photo, I felt a strange sense of familiarity for some reason.
Just at this time.
Fingel, who was originally behind Cao Han, also caught a glimpse of the contents of the photo thanks to his height advantage. He was instantly terrified, and even though the weather in August was already showing signs of autumn, he couldn't help but break out in a sweat.
It's not from heat, it's just from being in a rush.
"Um... I have a bit of an upset stomach, could I swipe my card and get on the train first?"
"Fingal, didn't I hear you were expelled for not earning enough credits?"
Faced with the ticket inspector's rude questioning, Fingel could only smile awkwardly and explain, "I didn't drop out, I didn't drop out, I just repeated a year."
Fingel, who said those words, probably didn't realize at the time that he would say something similar again next year, and that he would say it for several years in a row.
Furthermore, the bloodline rating has been declining again and again, constantly breaking the historical low of Kassel College.
"Can't you see my idol is signing an autograph for me? If you can't resist, you have to hold it in!"
"I remembered!"
After signing his name on the back of the photo, Cao Han finally remembered that this was the photo he had taken in Japan.
Judging from the photos, if I remember correctly, he was working out in the 24-hour heated pool on the rooftop of the Regent Hotel and was about to leave.
The case is solved! The case is solved!
"Senior Fingel, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
Cao Han now fully recalled the events, saying that it was a bit strange at the time that Lazy Dog Fingel had surprisingly offered to go swimming with him for exercise.
It turns out everything was premeditated!
Once exposed, Fingel could only shamelessly explain, "This wasn't a photo of you that someone paid to buy, junior."
"They're very generous with their money!"
So you mean there's more than just this one photo?
"Hehehe, it's not much, just a tiny bit, a tiny bit."
Feeling guilty, Fingel didn't care about anything else. He threw his student card into the ticket inspector's hand like trash and rushed into the train without looking back.
He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, more of his "secrets" would be discovered.
Chapter 175 Countdown to Departure: Part Two
On train CC1000.
Cao Han truly experienced what privilege is!
From the moment you board the train, you will enjoy meticulous care, with train attendants surrounding you and showing you concern and care at all times.
The entire train carriage had become his fan meeting place.
The culprit behind all this was the ticket inspector who first obtained Cao Han's autograph. Overjoyed, he couldn't help but take it out and show it off to his colleagues the moment he returned to the train crew's rest room.
The little fanboy got his wish, but the little fangirls might not be satisfied!
"Cao Han, we are all members of the 'Cao Han Fan Club, the Best Junior in the World'!"
"Yes, yes, I spent a lot of money to get into this support group."
"I joined the group because I heard that I could get firsthand updates and recent photos of Cao Han."
"..."
The female flight attendants, who were chattering away with Cao Han, did not notice the slightly bulging veins on his forehead.
First-hand updates and recent photos of daily life?
Listen to this familiar routine. If it weren't related to some unscrupulous guy, Cao Han would never believe it even if he were beaten to death. He just doesn't know how much profit Fingel has secretly made from him.
A guy who had been eavesdropping nearby seemed to sense something and instinctively shrank back, hiding under a chair.
Little did he know that this behavior had absolutely no effect on his burly physique; on the contrary, it looked quite comical.
Anyway, Cao Han had already made up his mind. Since Fingel had just completed the Nibelungen Project and made a breakthrough in his strength, he would use the excuse of helping Fingel familiarize himself with his strength to let him taste the power of his own fists.
Of course, he would definitely know how to handle it properly. At most, he would only cause Fingel some physical pain, but it would not damage his core or affect his upcoming dragon-slaying mission.
"The school seems a little different."
Cao Han, who stepped back into Kassel College after more than a month, couldn't help but express his heartfelt feelings.
It's not that any part of the school has changed, but the entire atmosphere has changed dramatically; everywhere you look, the students seem to be in a hurry.
If the last time felt like the ivory tower of a university, then after learning about the first generation of the species and knowing that war was about to break out, the tightened tension made most colleges realize that militarized management of schools was not just empty talk.
They used to think that the war with the dragons was far away.
But reality told them that it was already very close.
Those who can get into Kassel College are almost all ordinary people, and there are no people who think "if the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up."
