Full-Time Public Enemy

Chapter 858 - 378: [Voidwalker] (Part 1)

These professions aren't necessarily powerful, essentially belonging to those destined to be eliminated in "survival of the fittest.""Make haste!" Milgray urged, "We don't have much time left, and I don't know when Myriad Forms Heavenly Dragon might wake up—perhaps he'll awaken in the next moment."

Chen Gu was still somewhat puzzled: "Since you were the one who hunted him into slumber, and you know where he's sleeping, why didn't you take advantage of the opportunity before?"

Milgray bit her silver teeth and answered, "Previously, I hunted him with other super lifeforms, yet we still failed; my companions were severely injured by him and fell into slumber as well.

Though that guy is asleep, if I act recklessly alone, he might forcibly wake up. Hunting him solo might not end well for me."

Chen Gu understood but was still curious about the true fate of her hunting companions—however, he dared not ask.

Milgray's background was still extremely deep; the information she provided Chen Gu included the training methods for these professions.

Chen Gu could only brace himself to attempt training as a [Void Walker], though he understood very clearly that even if he completed the basic training for this profession, he still needed a large generator to take the position.

Chen Gu's previous side jobs never required applying for a generator—suddenly needing one for this time was an inconvenience to explain to both the principal and Aviloya.

However, Chen Gu felt that he was likely to stumble over the prerequisite training for this profession.

Chen Gu began his training in the dormitory's refining field; a crucial training project for the [Void Walker] was using various universe particles to continuously stimulate the brain and body, creating a state similar to "trance," and within this state, seeing space folding and chaos.

This state must last at least 0.1 seconds to be considered complete, and only then could one prepare for employment.

If this requirement can't be reached, it signifies no talent for [Void Walker].

To this end, Chen Gu specially applied for a device from the school that manufactures and emits various cosmic particles. This device consumes a massive amount of energy.

The principal seemed to have anticipated this when assigning Chen Gu's dormitory; the refining field within had a dedicated energy interface providing energy insufficient compared to the generator's dedicated energy lines but still about one-fourth—ample for supporting this device!

Chen Gu connected the device, pressed the start button, and then stood in front of the spray nozzle as before.

Ordinary people directly facing the bombardment would instantly turn into a mass of the purest material particles, but strong professionals like Chen Gu wouldn't meet such a tragic end.

Chen Gu first used the smallest yield to start the bombardment, resulting in no response, merely some bodily pain.

He gradually increased the yield, the sense of tearing pain in his body intensifying bit by bit. After four attempts, his mind remained clear, with no sense of trance, but his body felt as though countless blades were constantly slicing him with excruciating agony.

Chen Gu shut off the device and candidly admitted to Milgray, "I don't possess such talent."

"I don't believe it!" Milgray stormed into the refining field, checked the device, and accused Chen Gu, "You haven't turned the device yield to the maximum, why easily give up?"

Chen Gu was speechless: "It really hurts..."

Milgray grabbed Chen Gu and pushed him into the device, then without hesitation turned the yield to maximum.

...

The school has its own energy supply system—a deep-buried heavy nuclear power plant rebuilt after the school was last destroyed.

On usual occasions, this plant's load is low, with most energy supplied to certain tutors' experiments. Chen Gu's esteemed mentor, Zhong Yuanbei, alone occupies over thirty percent.

However, today things were a bit abnormal; the power plant's load was continuously soaring. When Milgray pushed the device yield to maximum, the power plant suddenly exceeded the load red line!

The power plant's manager was startled: "Which crazy mentor is causing a ruckus again! A surprise attack, trying to trap me..."

The power plant struggled to cope, managing to stabilize, avoiding an explosion tragedy.

"Zhong Yuanbei! It's definitely that old undead!" The manager was furious, then began checking the energy output direction, surprisingly finding it from the refining field of a student dormitory!

Having been underground for years, the manager wasn't familiar with much happening within the school. He stormed angrily towards the dormitory.

If Zhong Yuanbei, that old undead, were causing a surprise attack, I'd accept it. Given his notorious reputation, mainly due to his close ties with the principal, we can't afford to provoke.

But you're just a student; why use such enormous energy? Do your tuition fees cover the energy costs?

The manager charged right up to the dormitory door, only to be stopped by a group of tutors, led by Deputy Director Xue.

The tutors were also exasperated; they were conducting experiments, suddenly faced with an energy supply drop leading to their experiments failing.

The tutors sought to hold the culprit accountable; it was quickly discovered the issue stemmed from Chen Gu.

Among these tutors was Chen Gu's esteemed teacher, Zhong Yuanbei.

Zhong Yuanbei's resentment ran the deepest, having labored over an experiment for more than half a month, reaching a crucial moment for generating data, then due to insufficient energy supply, the half-month's effort was lost!

"How did I accept such a failure of a student!" Zhong Yuanbei deeply regretted.

Deputy Director Xue, knowing more, didn't rashly break in but stopped everyone: "Chen Gu applied for a cosmic particle bombardment device."

The tutors clamored: "What does he want that thing for? Who's managing the devices, irresponsibly handing it over to him?"

Deputy Director Xue slowly said, "Such a device is necessary for the [Void Walker] constraining training!"

The tutors looked at each other; soon someone shook their head: "Unlikely, that profession requires the rarest talent."

Though everyone knew Chen Gu was a multi-professions expert, the [Void Walker] was extraordinarily rare, genuinely a space-related profession.

And although deemed "useless," it's the rarest of all, leading everyone to conclude: "Nonsense! He's simply trying to satisfy his curiosity but caused our experiments to fail; he must compensate us! If he, as a student, can't afford it, then his teacher must compensate."

Zhong Yuanbei was dumbfounded: "..."
