Chapter 180 I Have a Good Idea

"Ugh, why didn't I think of going to Kassel College when I was in college?!"

Upon learning that Cao Han and Fingel's team would be carrying out the dragon-slaying mission at Kassel College, Chen Hao carelessly tossed his phone aside and slumped onto the bed, muttering to himself.

He never imagined that one day he would suffer because of his age.

Leaving aside Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang, who are still fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys who are "flowers of the future," even compared to Cao Han and Yuan Zhisheng, Chen Hao, at twenty-six, can already be considered an old man.

For the Chen family, the gates of any university in China are simply a matter of a word.

Or rather, for hybrids, the knowledge in those books is almost effortless; to put it bluntly, they only need to make a slight move to reach the ceiling that ordinary people cannot reach through their efforts.

[Sword Immortal]: "Boss, remember to take me with you when you go back to China for any events! @Boss"

Chen Hao, unwilling to give up, casually tagged someone to vent his frustration and also to express his loyalty as his number one fanboy.

He was truly fed up with the unchanging nature of the Chen family!

Besides vying for power, it's all about backstabbing and intrigue; all that brainpower is used up on these things every day.

Dragon blood grants hybrids power beyond that of ordinary people, but it also limits their potential.

Dragon blood is like a unique weapon in the hands of each hybrid. Some may have a slingshot, others a pistol, and still others a Gatling gun or rocket launcher.

While training for mixed-race individuals focuses on building physical strength, it also emphasizes mastering the use of their "weapons."

[Boss]: "There will be opportunities, don't be impatient. @SwordImmortal"

[Leader]: "After this mission is over, I think I'll go back to China for summer vacation. Then we can all get together."

[Crown Prince]: "Great! I wholeheartedly agree."

[Takemikazuchi]: "Perfect timing, if you come back, my dad said he'd like to invite you to dinner alone @Boss."

Cao Han was walking from the principal's office to the executive department. His new phone, which was in his pocket, kept vibrating because he hadn't had time to edit the notifications yet. Whenever someone tagged him, it would start vibrating.

As for Su Enxi's pink rhinestone Sony?

Of course, it's impossible to return them. I guess those two have already left Japan and returned to their home countries.

That's why we were able to see the content of the group chat at that moment.

What's a little surprising is that this guy called "Prince" is really persistent. Whenever there's any trouble with Leviathan, the King of the Ocean and Water, this guy is always the kind who arrives late but surely.

Judging from his habit of using multiple identities to stir up trouble, he strongly suspects that his true identity is Odin's old man, Bitden.

The reason for doing this is not hard to guess; it's probably because they had no way to deal with the massive Leviathan, which led them to resort to this desperate measure.

Who made it possible that His causal artifact, Gungnir, was being used to fix the little devil Lu Mingze's true form on the World Tree?

The loss of the key to the World Tree was the last straw, leaving even our noble god-king Odin with nothing more than a counterfeit key to swagger around and intimidate people.

Unexpectedly...

One trip out resulted in my hometown being robbed!

The power accumulated over thousands of years was completely destroyed by that shameless Cao Han. His personal vehicle, Sleipnir, also met its end, and the knock-off Gungnir was also destroyed by Cao Han. Can you believe how infuriating that is?

Without a suitable weapon, Odin can only bully some "Karami" by virtue of his authority as the King of the Sky and Wind. When he encounters a Leviathan of equal rank who possesses authority that does not belong to him, he is like a rat trying to pull a turtle – having strength but nowhere to use it.

The degree of joy people felt upon hearing Cao Han's reply varied.

Chen Hao was the most excited. He didn't expect that Cao Han would respond to his casual remark. It seemed that he really had a chance to fight alongside his boss to slay the dragon.

I just don't know if the target will be a next-generation species... or a first-generation Dragon King?

Thinking that with Cao Han's strength, his target would definitely not be lower than the next generation, right? The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and Chen Hao couldn't help but subconsciously lick his dry lips.

What surprised Cao Han the most was that Old Chu wanted to treat him to dinner. "Is he not planning to continue living in anonymity?"

Listening to ordinary people having dinner is normal social interaction, but he is no longer an unknown nobody. If he gets involved and is discovered, it will be difficult to continue to keep a low profile and remain anonymous.

He shook his head, trying not to think about it too much. He would know what Chu Tianjiao wanted to do when they met again back in China.

He had just returned to his dormitory when Fingel, with a serious expression, knocked on the door and stepped in carrying his computer.

"The Crown Prince has appeared again!"

"Yes, I've seen the group messages."

Fingel was still waiting for Cao Han's next words, but Cao Han was busy packing his personal belongings for the mission.

"Aren't you worried?"

"worry about what?"

“Someone might try to stir things up because of the Crown Prince’s revelations.”

"Pfft-"

Upon hearing Fingel's concerns, Cao Han couldn't help but chuckle, but considering Fingel's somewhat nervous state, he quickly suppressed his laughter and explained dismissively:

“Fingal, I think you’ve got it all wrong. What kind of mission do you think we’re on? We’re facing Leviathan, the first generation of the ocean and water king. How many people do you think would dare to come?”

This isn't like playing World of Warcraft and doing dungeons, where having more people means more damage output.

Based on our current intelligence, Leviathan possesses the ability to control large-scale near-absolute-zero cold waves. How many hybrids do you think could survive such a sweeping attack?

It wasn't that Cao Han was careless or underestimated his opponent; reality is like choosing the right dish for the right meal—if you don't have the skills, don't take on the job!

Don't be fooled by how excited people on the Hunter website get when they hear about the first generation of the Dragon King; they're often the ones who can't see their own strength.

Even if such people manage to reach the Arctic battlefield, they will likely end up as cannon fodder, easily killed by the edge of the Dragon King's AOE spell. It's not worth mentioning.

"Fingal, how long has it been since you had a proper rest?"

From Cao Han's observation, at least in the two days since he returned, the other party had hardly rested properly, and was like a tightly wound robot that was always in a tense state.

"I……"

"Alright, listen to me. Go back right now and get a good night's sleep to get yourself in shape. We'll set off tomorrow!"

There's a saying where I'm from: "Even if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. You don't need to worry about anything else, I'll take care of everything!"

Perhaps inspired by the strong confidence in Cao Han's words, Finger's worried expression, which had been on his brow for days, finally relaxed.

Perhaps this is a case of being too close to the situation to see clearly.

After Cao Han pointed it out, Fingel, who had completely relaxed, belatedly realized how bad his current state was.

It's not an exaggeration to say that he'll be reduced to only 80% of his original strength, but in this state of high mental tension and accumulating fatigue, he might actually be like Ultraman from Nebula M78, dying shortly after the fight begins...

Beep beep beep beep, energy critical!

"Thank you, I'll go and get myself ready."

"Go."

After casually waving Fingel away, Cao Han also had his own "important matters" to attend to.

Thanks to Bai Fengel's arrival, Cao Han, who was in the dormitory living room, suddenly noticed the blue box that stood in the middle, containing the legendary Spear of Longinus.

Blessing to the soul.

Perhaps it was just a fleeting inspiration that crossed his mind, but he increasingly felt that while it was hard to say whether this spear was the Spear of Longinus, it was becoming more and more like a... whale-hunting spear!?

Thinking about how it was possible that this thing was made by a dragon king who was skilled in alchemy, and its purpose was to target the dragon race of the ocean and water.

Once the idea arose, it seemed to take root in my mind and wouldn't go away; in fact, it felt stronger and stronger.

Without further ado!

Cao Han picked up the box from the ground, slung it over his shoulder, and headed towards the location of the equipment department, which he remembered.

This should be considered the first time he has voluntarily gone to the equipment department since joining Kassel College.

Unfortunately, according to Principal Angers, the main force and elites of the Equipment Department, including the minister, are currently busy with the conversion of the nuclear-powered icebreaker.

Fortunately, according to his plan, it wouldn't require a large-scale project; it was merely a matter of being prepared for any eventuality.

After thinking for a moment, Cao Han decided to contact his mentor. The call was answered almost instantly.

"tutor."

"What's wrong, Cao Han?"

"I have some new ideas for the upcoming mission plan. Could you come to the equipment department?"

"it is good."

"Beep beep beep..."

As expected of the head of the execution department who prioritizes efficiency, he agreed to it without even asking what the specific ideas were.

Perhaps in von Schneider's view, any opinions raised by his students, as the executors of this dragon-slaying mission, were worthy of consideration.

Even if there's only a 1% chance of increasing the success rate of slaying the dragon, it's still worth the trip.

The "Equipment Department" at Kassel College is just an abbreviation; its full name is actually the Institute for Alchemy and Scientific Engineering Applications.

Of course, the special agents preferred to call this place a "bomb maniac concentration camp," as they suffered greatly from the equipment made by the equipment department when carrying out missions.

When Von Schneider arrived at the entrance of the equipment department as quickly as possible, the first thing he saw was a student standing at the door carrying five boxes that were as long as himself.

"Mentor, you've arrived."

"Hmm, what's this in your hand?"

“Hey, didn’t Principal Angers tell you when he came back? This is the ‘spoils’ from our last trip to Portofino. Our idea for coming to the equipment department this time is also related to it.”

"I think it was mentioned briefly, but I didn't pay attention."

Schneider was already cursing Angers for being unreliable, for telling him it was some small weapon.

This is supposed to be called a small weapon?!

However, now was not the time to dwell on these things. Schneider led Cao Han into the Equipment Department. As the head of the Executive Department, he had cooperated and dealt with the Equipment Department quite a bit, so he was quite familiar with the place.

"A warm welcome to our Institute of Alchemy and Scientific Engineering Applications for S+ level students!"

The two had barely stepped into the equipment department and hadn't even walked three or five meters when a man wearing glasses and a white coat hurried out and greeted them warmly.

Their undisguised fervor remained fixed on Cao Han from beginning to end, as if von Schneider did not exist in their eyes.

He couldn't help but grope Cao Han from head to toe, touching the muscles on his arms and instinctively wanting to lift Cao Han's shirt to check his body...

Fortunately, Cao Han sensed something was wrong and immediately dodged away.
