Chapter 307: Small Town Internship
"You guys are trying to get Old Yu killed."
"That's a joke—life is all about movement, city district."
"I'm just not blessed with Old Yu's talent, otherwise I would go scout ahead."
"What the guy upstairs says is easy to say."
"This is real-name registration online, think before you speak."
"It's too dangerous outside, I'll stay in the Shelter."
"The system hasn't guided Survivors to leave the Shelter, which means at our current ranks we still can't survive outside the Shelter."
"Old Yu is doing better, he can already swim like a dragon outside the Shelter."
Yu Feng: Don't talk nonsense. If it weren't for big bro Lin Ye and the other brothers helping, I wouldn't have made it back.
"Speaking of Lin the big bro, did you guys grab the bullet the big bro posted in the trading area today?" "I grabbed one, but I don't have a firearm of the matching model, so I don't know how to use it."
"Don't give it to me, I'll buy it at a high price."
"Are you stupid? Just buy a firearm of the same model in the trading area as the bullet."
"The bullets the big bro posted are all different models. Is he researching some kind of bullet?"
"Probably. The bullet I grabbed can cause unstable targets to collapse on hit. (system info)"
"Damn, missed grabbing it, feels like I lost a billion."
"Nighttime Activity is about to start, I wonder what today's event is."
"Should be a Station Mission."
【Nighttime Activity begins】
【Tonight's activity: Personal Special Random Event Activity】
【Personal Special Random Event locked: Last One Standing】
【09:59】
"Great, finally not personal special."
"Is this the big bro? I've never encountered a personal special mission."
"Hope I get matched with a few reliable teammates."
"The system's matching function has always been reliable."
"Right, only reliable Survivors can be matched with reliable teammates."
"Brothers, fight on, we'll talk after the event."
"Talk after the event."
……
Lin Ye sat fully geared on the edge of his bed stroking the Scapegoat. This was a continuation of that previous personal special mission, and this time he had left some unimportant things in the Shelter.

【Acquired identity: Teacher】

【When you complete a full guidance and gain genuine recognition from a student, you receive a random card】
【Note: This is the Teacher's duty】
【Black Card acquired—Designation】
Lin Ye opened his eyes. He was sitting on a moving coach, wearing a complete blue-gray suit.
As before, his body was his true body, but neither spiritual energy nor mental energy could be used.
At that moment a concise prompt appeared in his mind:
Lin Ye, a low-level guidance teacher at a certain academy, is leading academy students on a field internship out of town.
'This setup looks familiar.'
Lin Ye turned and glanced at the passengers in the coach. There were twelve students on board;
Li Shiyan and Song Qian were sitting right behind him.
"Is something wrong, Teacher?"
Li Shiyan, still wearing the blue-and-white school uniform, sharply noticed Lin Ye's gaze.
"Nothing, I was just looking."
Lin Ye turned his head, and the familiar chat room appeared before his eyes.
Victoria: Hello.
Lin Ye: No, I'm not fine. This opening is a bit troublesome.
Victoria: What's wrong?
Lin Ye: I'm on a coach with some students, the coach is leaving the urban area. Considering what happened last time, this internship has big problems. I suspect the coach has been tampered with, the driver might be a cultist.
Victoria: Huh? You can't use spiritual energy or mental energy right now, how could you get so much information so quickly?
Lin Ye: Simple deduction. If I were a cultist, I'd do the same.
Victoria: But that's just your guess. Even if it's true, you should be able to handle the driver, right?
Lin Ye: I can of course handle him. The problem is the students on the bus. I don't like dragging others into danger.
Victoria: Then kill the driver and drive the coach back?
Lin Ye: Driving away in a coach that might be tampered with, then getting ambushed by swarms of cultists?
Victoria: …That is pretty troublesome.
Lin Ye: Can you support me with a few cards?
Victoria: Unless you can get me a blue card or a black card that lets me act, I can only watch.
Lin Ye: Knew you were unreliable. Good thing I often handle these situations.
Lin Ye used a Black Card to choose a green skill card from the Random Card Library.
【Black Card—Designation】
【Can obtain one designated card from the Random Card Library (1/1)】
【Note: Black Cards have unique properties;
each Black Card is one of a kind】
Victoria: Do what you can… Though you probably won't agree, I still suggest abandoning those students. Getting targeted by the Emerald God Cult is just bad luck for them, it isn't your fault.
Lin Ye: I don't actually care about them. Even if they died horribly one after another in front of me, I wouldn't be sad. What I care about is that right now I'm their Teacher, so I'll do what a Teacher should do.
Lin Ye glanced out the window. A small town appeared at the end of the road;
their destination was almost there.
Victoria: I'll just observe, your call.
The coach pulled into the small town and stopped outside an inn.
The town was very lively. Some tourists were taking photos, townsfolk cheered and celebrated, as if some event was happening.
Lin Ye and the students carried their luggage into the inn. The academy had already booked rooms for them.
"It's so lively outside. Want to go out and wander later?"
"Sure, but shouldn't we ask the Teacher first?"
"No need, right? We're not going to dangerous places, just stroll around the town."
"Take me with you."
"Class President, are you going?"
"During internships we can't wander around. A student once went missing here."
"Really?"
"Must be lying. If someone had truly gone missing, would the academy still send us to intern?"
"Heh, don't just say here, there are students missing in the city too."
……
Even though he couldn't use spiritual energy or mental energy, Lin Ye's senses—enhanced by God's Blood—were unaffected. He clearly heard the students whispering.
"Go put your luggage away, then I'll take you all into town to walk around and grab lunch. In the afternoon we'll go intern outside the town."
Lin Ye wasn't going to lock these students up. He would do what a Teacher should do… and along the way try to grind some random cards.
After all, he had an identity skill.
The students cheered, happily shouldering their luggage and blending into the town's festive atmosphere.
