My exclusive card pool

Chapter 219 Admission Dinner
Weitai was built above Dragon City, offering a panoramic view of the entire city...

Wang Xi's astonishment deepened.

Before long, the silver shuttle began to descend and glide slowly, eventually hovering in front of the magnificent arched gate of Longcheng University.

A giant holographic school emblem slowly rotated in the air, and students came and went at the entrance, creating a lively scene.

The cabin door opened, and Ning Meng and Yu Zizi picked up their luggage and said goodbye to Wang Xi and Chu Nai.

"Gentlemen, we've arrived at Longcheng University." Yu Zizi adjusted her glasses and smiled. "We'll keep in touch."

“Okay,” Wang Xi replied.

As the two women disappeared into the crowd at the entrance of Longcheng University, the silver shuttle restarted. With a soft hum, the hatch closed, and it ascended back into the airspace.

Only Wang Xi and Chu Nai remained by the porthole.

The atmosphere relaxed slightly.

Chu Nai let out a soft sigh of relief, the composure she maintained in front of Ning Meng and Yu Zizi quietly melting away. She picked up the kettle, poured a glass of water, and handed it to Wang Xi beside her.

"Here, Brother Xi." Her voice was light and cheerful, with a faint smile in her eyes.

Wang Xi took the water glass: "Thank you."

The cool water soothed his throat as he watched the scenery of Dragon City rushing past the window. The high-speed silver shuttle was taking them away from the bustling core area and heading towards the northern suburbs.

"Are you nervous? We're almost at Kunwu Camp."

Chu Nai turned her head to look at Wang Xi's profile.

Wang Xi nodded seriously: "A little. Do you think I, a 'country bumpkin' from Gucheng, will be looked down upon by these elites from Longcheng? Just imagining them staring down at me like that, the pressure is immense..."

"Pfft." Chu Nai was amused by his words, and her silvery laughter rang out in the cabin. A mischievous glint flashed in her eyes: "Isn't that perfect? ​​Brother Xi is so powerful, he can give them a good slap in the face."

Wang Xi waved his hands repeatedly, looking "fearful": "Forget it, you can handle this high-difficulty, high-risk thing of slapping someone in the face. I'll just take the blame."

Chu Nai hummed, but felt relaxed and happy because of the banter.

The two chatted idly, watching the scenery outside the window gradually change from the dense urban core to a more open and spacious area, with the bustling high-rise buildings being replaced by large green spaces and lower-rise research and development parks.

Before long, the silver shuttle smoothly decelerated and descended again. This time, their destination was a vast area surrounded by lush forests, with towering silver alloy fences and regularly distributed sensor towers faintly visible.

Inside the fence, the environment is serene, and the buildings are arranged in a staggered manner. Most of them are in a low-key silver-gray or dark brown color, with simple yet powerful shapes that blend perfectly with the forest environment.

"This is what the northern suburbs of Dragon City look like?"

Wang Xi was a little surprised.

The scenery here is quite similar to that of the wilderness. It's hard to believe that this is a scene inside the capital city of Middle-earth.

The silver shuttle traced an arc before finally coming to a stop on a heavily guarded landing pad. The hatch opened, and a refreshing fragrance wafted out.

The open-air plaza is paved with a special dark gray material, smooth and heavy. At its center stands a truly awe-inspiring sculpture—or rather, a strangely shaped giant stone monument.

This stone tablet stands tens of meters tall, sculpted into the shape of a giant sword piercing the sky. Its entire body exudes a dark blue metallic texture, weathered by time, with a sharp and menacing blade. The hilt is engraved with ancient and intricate cloud patterns and mythical creatures from mountains and seas.

The sword's blade is the same as the monument's blade.

It was covered with countless names.

As soon as Wang Xi and Chu Nai approached the stone tablet, they noticed something unusual—the names on the tablet were moving!
Some names, like water droplets, slowly slide down the stone's texture, while others rise against the current, striving to climb higher; still others, in varying shades of color, emit a faint glow.

The entire "Sword Stele" seemed to possess a life of its own, constantly undergoing subtle changes.

"Is it alive?" Wang Xi murmured in surprise.

Chu Nai's gaze was fixed on the top of the stone tablet, where three powerful ancient seal characters, as if carved by sword energy, were written: "Kunwu List".

"I see, this isn't a martyrs' monument, but a ranking list that updates in real time!"

A flash of understanding crossed Chu Nai's eyes.

The two immediately looked at the top of the list.

The names of the top ten are specially engraved, shining with gold:

First: Cao Pang (102 points)

Second: Zhao Leng'an (95 points)

Third: Sun Chenglu (93 points)

Fourth: Li Youqing (91 points)

……

Ninth: Autumn Garden Poetry (83 points)

10th: Michael Aldis (82 points)

The list extends downwards all the way to the bottom:

133: Dou Lihui (8 points)

……

Each name seemed to represent a measure of strength and glory, and the ranking was solely based on points. An invisible competitive pressure permeated the silent Sword Monument Square.

Before the two could take a closer look, a gentle voice came from not far away.

"Welcome to Kunwu Camp, both of you."

An elderly woman with white hair and a kind smile walked slowly toward them.

She wore a well-tailored dark purple casual outfit, exuding a gentle and reserved air, like a kind elder next door. Behind her, a pair of adorable twin girls, almost identical, around fifteen or sixteen years old, skipped along.

The girl on the left has long, jet-black hair styled in playful pigtails, her eyes darting around with a mischievous glint in them. The girl on the right has neat short hair in an adorable mushroom cut, a round face, a sweet smile, and a touch of innocent charm.

Both of them were wearing the Kunwu Battalion's uniform cadet training clothes, which featured a unique mountain-shaped insignia.

"My name is Du Meijuan." The old woman approached and introduced herself with a smile, her tone gentle and soothing: "In the camp, I am responsible for all the trivial matters such as the trainees' daily life and logistical support. Everyone usually calls me Mrs. Du."

She turned slightly to the side and introduced the twins behind her:

"These two are my granddaughters. The older one is called Xiao Xiao (long hair in pigtails), and the younger one is called Lin Lin (short hair in a mushroom cut). They study and help with chores at the camp."

Wang Xi habitually activated Chaos's detection function, and entries instantly appeared above the heads of the three people:
"Kunwu Camp Life Instructor, Retired Grand Marshal, Du Meijuan (Friendly/Title Two-Star/Hero)"

"Kunwu Camp Trainee - Su Xiaoxiao (Friendly/High-Ranking 3-Star/Elite)"

"Kunwu Camp Trainee - Su Linlin (Friendly/High-Ranking 3-Star/Elite)"

Wang Xi raised an eyebrow. This gentle old woman was actually a titled-level expert!
A retired "Taiko"!
The two lively twin girls have already reached the strength of a three-star high-ranking officer... Kunwu Camp is indeed full of hidden talents.

Wang Xi and Chu Nai exchanged a glance, composed themselves, and politely replied, "Hello, Madam Du, and hello to Xiao Xiao and Lin Lin as well."

The two introduced themselves again, saying they came from Nanzhou Valley City.

“I know,” Mrs. Du said with a smile. “Mr. Zhu Yi specifically recommended him.”

"We are new here, so we're sorry to trouble you, Madam Du."

Wang Xi replied politely.

"It's no trouble at all. It's a good thing that more talented new people are coming to the camp," the old woman said with a smile. "You are new 'transfer students,' so you should settle in and integrate into the group as soon as possible."

"By the way, Madam Du," Wang Xi said, remembering something, "why are there foreign names on that sword tablet?"

"Oh, that one," the old woman said. "He's a genius exchange student between the five great nations. You'll meet him later."

Wang Xi and Chu Nai exchanged a glance.

At this moment, Madam Du reminded them, "A banquet will be held in the auditorium tonight. You must attend so you can get to know the teachers and students..."

After the two nodded to indicate that they understood, the old woman called out:
"Xiao Xiao, Lin Lin, lead the way and take Mr. Wang to Villa No. 27, while Miss Chu will go to Villa No. 55."

"Okay, Grandma!" Su Linlin replied cheerfully, her voice clear and bright. "Handsome brother, beautiful sister, come with us!"

Su Xiaoxiao blinked playfully and made a "please" gesture.

Led by the twin sisters' enthusiastic guidance, Wang Xi soon arrived at the student villa located beside a clear lake.

A sign that reads "Number 27" hangs at the entrance.

The villa is an exquisite three-story building constructed from a combination of warm yellow stone and dark wood, with lush ivy climbing the exterior walls and large floor-to-ceiling windows offering unobstructed views of the lake.

The villa has its own small courtyard, planted with neatly trimmed ornamental plants, creating an extremely elegant and tranquil environment.

The interior of the villa is spacious and bright.

The public areas are decorated in a simple yet comfortable style, with sophisticated furniture and modern, fully equipped facilities.

Wang Xi was assigned a sunny single suite on the second floor, with a private bathroom and a spacious terrace. Opening the floor-to-ceiling windows, one could directly face the tranquil lake.

On the way, he learned from Xiao Xiao that each villa housed four students.

However, Wang Xi did not see his other three roommates.

After settling his simple luggage, Wang Xi stood on the terrace, took a deep breath of fresh air, and relaxed.

He took out his communicator and sent Chu Nai a short message: "All settled in? The environment is really nice."

A reply was received very quickly:
"Yes, what a beautiful lake."

Then came: "I'll take a shower and change my clothes first. I'm going to see Brother Xi tonight. (Cute silly goose face)"

"See you tonight."

Time passed quickly, and the sun began to set.

The golden afterglow dyed the distant mountains red, reflecting on the lake surface and creating shimmering waves.

As the appointed time for the dinner approached, Wang Xi casually donned a loose-fitting black suit and stepped out of the villa. Chu Nai was already waiting by the lakeside path not far away.

She changed into an elegantly tailored white shirt paired with black trousers, looking simple and capable, her silver hair still striking in the twilight.

Chu Nai smiled slightly when she saw Wang Xi: "Brother Xi, let's go."

The two walked side by side, and Wang Xin could smell the fresh fragrance emanating from the girl's body after her bath. They followed a picturesque path through a lush forest area, eventually arriving at the auditorium located in the heart of Kunwu Camp.

Before even stepping through the gate, warm light streamed in from the huge stained-glass windows and open archways, and melodious music drifted out.

As I reached the doorway, a bright and open space opened up before me.

The auditorium was brightly lit and bustling with activity.

The students, all exuding an air of elegance, were dressed in uniform and gathered in small groups to chat. At a glance, there were no fewer than a hundred of them.

Most of them were between twenty and thirty years old, each with a confident demeanor and sharp eyes. Many of them exuded a powerful aura, clearly not ordinary people.

In the somewhat empty space of the center of the venue, a dozen or so figures with different temperaments sat on a raised platform.

There were middle-aged men in long gowns, hunched-over old men, towering giants, aloof women, and short dwarfs...

These are clearly the high-ranking officers of the Kunwu Camp, the true foundation of this elite base.

Their gazes swept over the newly arrived Wang Xi and Chu Nai, a mixture of scrutiny, curiosity, and admiration.

Wang Xi didn't dodge; instead, he looked over as well.

The middle-aged man in the long gown at the head of the group had his hands behind his back and a refined and approachable appearance.

"Kunwu Camp Principal, Chief Disaster Hunter, Dong Lingzi, Zhang Yinglong (Friendly/Skull/Legendary)"

The four people beside him—

"Kunwu Camp Spade Academy Dean, Calamity Hunter, Rose Sage Rosa (Friendly/Skull/Legendary)"

"Zhao Yang, Dean of Kunwu Camp Plum Blossom Academy, Disaster Hunter, Breaker of Formations (Friendly/Skull/Legendary)"

"Kunwu Camp Red Heart Academy Dean, Disaster Hunter, Rope Knot Master, Xi Qianliu (Friendly/Skull/Legendary)"

"Kunwu Camp Square Academy Dean · Disaster Hunter · Nightmare · Pu Xuan (Friendly/Skull/Legendary)"

Looking at the golden skulls, Wang Xi was stunned; the strength of these five high-ranking officials actually exceeded the rating.

The rest were all teachers from the four major academies, and without exception, all of them were "Taiyu," a title-level combatant.

A small number are still active, but most have already retired.

Welcome to our new students!

At this moment, Madam Du on the stage quickly spotted Wang Xi and Chu Nai in the crowd and waved to them from afar.

"Mr. Wang Xi and Ms. Chu Nai from Nanzhou Valley City!"

Swah——

In an instant, all eyes in the room were focused on these two uniquely charismatic individuals, like spotlights.
