Using a beast to recognize people, through this Golden Needle Mouse, Li Pu remembered seeing this senior at the speed race back then.

She seems to be a third-year student and explained some of the race rules to them at that time.

"Here, aren't you? The teacher is not here today, I'm substituting temporarily."

Senior Jiang casually glanced at the two freshmen: "They severely over-speeded in the night-time restricted speed zone, were caught and had their vehicles impounded by the security office."

[Roll!]

From the Rolling Turtle's voice, you can tell it's a bit aggrieved (?).

It was just following Grass Brother's instructions, what's wrong with that.

"We follow rules, so you can choose for yourselves."

Senior Jiang ignored the Rolling Turtle and continued: "Write a review + fine, or do 3 hours of campus service as punishment."

Li Pu: "I choose campus service."

Fine money?

What a joke!

"Alright, how about you?"

Senior Jiang looked at Wu Guinan.

"I, I also choose campus service."

Wu Guinan hesitated for a few seconds and finally gave an answer.

"Hmm, coincidentally, there's an outdoor student market later."

"You guys can assist the student council in maintaining order."

"Chang Shoushang, please guide them and explain the situation later."

Senior Jiang walked to the cell door and opened it.

"According to the rules, this grass man can leave now."

"Be mindful next time, don't cause trouble for your summoner again."

[Grass~]

"As for that big turtle, being the tool of the offense, it's detained for 3 days."

[Roll!!!]

In the reluctant complaints of the Rolling Turtle, the three of them left the office.

Along with them was Senior Jiang's summoned beast.

The Golden Needle Mouse responsible for supervising their campus service, named Thorn Mouse.

This name made Li Pu quietly critique that this senior's naming skills were as poor as Wu Guinan's.

As for the little tree man, he was also left in the office.

Not allowed to leave without completing the reflection paper.

Unlike Li Pu and Wu Guinan who weren't directly involved, it doesn't even have the choice for campus service.

Illiteracy isn't a problem.

Luckily, there was the helpful Chang Jiantao nearby, he'd already started writing a new relevant reflection paper for the little tree man to copy character by character.

...

"Senior, what's the outdoor market?"

After walking out of the administration building, Wu Guinan curiously asked.

Though considered a staff family member, he wasn't familiar with Xidu University's student culture.

"The outdoor market is basically a gathering where students trade."

"Trading goods for goods, using Federation Coins, Crystal Coins, it's all there."

"Sometimes there are private quests too."

"The market doesn't have a fixed schedule."

"But generally, the student council organizes a market before the semester starts, letting everyone digest their holiday acquisitions."

Chang Shoushang explained while re-bandaging his hand which had started bleeding blue.

His hand already had some bite wounds, and after slapping his brother a few times, the wounds reopened.

"Sounds interesting!"

Wu Guinan's eyes brightened after hearing, it reminded him of high school flea markets, quite similar.

Back then, he had a friend who tried selling hundreds of gigabytes of seeds.

The result? Reported by a classmate, directly sent to the police by the security department.

That friend was indeed a friend, definitely not him.

As for Li Pu, he wasn't all that interested.

Not actually uninterested, it's just that he's utterly broke right now.

Really worried about seeing something intriguing and not being able to purchase it, it's quite disheartening.

After walking for a while, they noticed more people on the road.

With a few days before school starts, senior students were already arriving.

Seems like the market's scale won't be small.

The marketplace's location was a huge outdoor theater.

Many lay a piece of fabric on the big steps, that counts as a stall.

All stallholders are seniors, while most of the market visitors are freshmen.

"Come have a look, D-grade materials going cheap!"

"One complete set of [Big-Mouthed Frog's Skin], trading for equivalent dark-type nurturing materials!"

"Offering a quest for the southern forest, anyone interested?"

"Handling amphibious beast training projects, absolutely professional!"

"Level 3 directional talisman, trading heavily for level 4 directional talisman!"

"Cube puzzle simulation, 50 Crystal Coins per attempt, breakthrough reward 500 Crystal Coins!"

"Come, come, come, venting sandbag, 10 Crystal Coins for beating it up for 1 minute!"

Arriving at the scene, Li Pu and the others saw quite a lot of people, taking just two steps closer they heard all kinds of hawking.

"So, it's your first time at Xidu University's market, how are you finding it? Quite lively, right?"

Chang Shoushang wasn't busy in the afternoon, so he started introducing the place.

For instance, the person offering the southern forest quest essentially wanted to hire freshmen as cheap labor to collect vine vines for beast fodder.

Another case; the cube puzzle was worse, it was completely a scam deadlock to trick money.

"Senior Chang, what's that venting sandbag about?"

Wu Guinan curiously pointed at a stall with quite a crowd.

[Thorn! Thorn!]

But as he spoke, the supervising Thorn Mouse made unsatisfied cries.

Called here for campus service, how come you're planning to browse instead.

It didn't care for the grass man who was nowhere to be found, only about whether these two students did their duties.

Attracted by the cries, Li Pu glanced at the Thorn Mouse standing on Chang Shoushang's shoulder.

"What do mouse-type summoned beasts like to eat?"

He suddenly asked.

"Not sure, probably a general omnivore type?"

Chang Shoushang, from the combat department, stated he didn't know.

"Omnivore, hmm."

Li Pu felt that this made things simpler.

He pulled out a thumb-sized little mushroom from his storage space, handing it to the Thorn Mouse.

This mushroom isn't the toxic mushroom from the golden rotten tree, but rather an edible mushroom from Mushroom Valley, reasonably rare.

Known for its delicious taste, it doesn't sell for much.

Hence, when gathered, he just tossed it into his storage space, and now it might be useful.

[Thorn?]

Indeed, Thorn Mouse sniffed, immediately drawn by the unusual fragrance.

Seeing Li Pu had no malicious intent, it hesitantly accepted it with both hands.

Then further sniffed, licked with its small tongue, lastly cautiously took a tiny bite.

[Thorn tasty!]

Thorn Mouse: Delicious!

Next second, its eyes turned starry.

"Okay, let's go check over there."

Li Pu pointed towards the sandbag stall, glancing at Thorn Mouse, it was no longer responding.

The group walked and browsed, Wu Guinan and Chang Shoushang both gained some small items they needed.

Not lacking in high-quality goods, just not very suitable for them.

But suddenly, a stall nearby caught his attention.

"Uh, that C-grade Summoned Beast Level 1 Guardian Quest, anyone interested?"

The stall-owner senior spoke softly, seeming shy.

Guardian Quest?

Those words piqued Li Pu's interest.

He stopped in his tracks.
