There arent any side effects, right?
Uh, no. I think.
You think?
That brief conversation before the monthly examination suddenly popped up in Xiao Lins mind. If he really was related to the dragons in any way, it would probably have been from when Song Junlang forced him to drink that bottle of dragon blood.
Tricked again! Xiao Lin muttered to himself, before realizing he was actually surprisingly calm about it. However, that caused him to feel like crying. Had he been tricked so much by Song Junlang that he had gotten used to it?
That was definitely not a good habit to have!
Tricked? Qin Chuan asked curiously.
Oh, its nothing. Xiao Lin could obviously not reveal the matter with the dragon blood. Even if he could not be a hundred percent sure, it was quietly likely his outburst was caused by that bottle of dragon blood.
However, Xiao Lin felt that it was a bit odd. Song Junlangs various weird concoctions often had different side effects, that much he was clear of, but if it was a side effect, it should be something that was not good.
Were the after-effects of the dragon blood not quite good?
According to Qin Chuan, after he lost himself, his strength and speed greatly increased, and the most shocking thing was obviously that incomparable self-recovery ability.
At the time, I had probably lost more than half my blood, but I could still stand up again and again. Even Qin Chuan could not hold back his admiration. That sort of regenerative ability greatly exceeded anything a new student could possibly do, and it would not even be a stretch to say that it would be impossible to find a second person with that, even in the entire school.
With that in mind, it did not really feel like a negative side effect.
However Xiao Lin did focus on something Qin Chuan tried to gloss over, which was that he had attacked Cheng Ming!
That meant that he was unable to distinguish between friend or foe when he went berserk, or maybe in his eyes, everyone else was an enemy while he was unconscious. Thankfully, Cheng Ming was the one around at the time. The other monitors might have even taken the opportunity to do away with Xiao Lin. Xiao Lin felt like it was definitely something they would happily do.
With those thoughts, Xiao Lin finally realized the dangers of that side effect. He did not know if he would still go berserk after this, but he felt like it was definitely not something he would ever want to experience again. The monthly examination was a collaborative war effort between all the classes. The consequences would be drastic if he were to suddenly go berserk and attack everyone.
However, before worrying about being tricked by Song Junlang, Xiao Lin first needed to avoid being tricked by the other classes. Even though Qin Chuan was worried about his condition and advised him to rest up, Xiao Lin still hurried to the warehouses with Qin Chuan, where the monitors were arguing about the allocation of resources.
Everyone paused when they noticed Xiao Lins arrival before congratulating him for waking up, but it was obvious some of them did not say what was actually on their minds.
Xiao Lin did not bother addressing it, laughing as he accepted their well-wishes before snatching a thick notebook away from a ponytailed girl. As he looked through the book, he noticed it was the inventory list of all the goods in the warehouse.
The amount of supplies was staggering. The food primarily consisted of processed or dried meats. With the amount of meat that was stored inside, it could possibly last 800 people five whole years, so no one was fighting over the food.
As for the weapons, even though they were meant for the main orc attack force, the quality was all over the place. The orcs did not like uniformity, which was quite a bad practice. Even their weapons and equipment were all different, consisting of different looks and attributes. Their smiths would even often imbue different enhancements into the weapons as they made them.
That caused the various equipment to be of different qualities, and the new students had not really learnt how to differentiate between different grades of weaponry and equipment, but the instructors had. By their tabulations, the lowest-ranked equipment were Black Iron-ranked, and a majority of them were Bronze, but there were also a few Silver and even Gold-ranked equipment.
They had to admit that the orcs were not just a race of barbarians; the orcs also had quite a few good smiths. However, there was where the problems began to show. The lower-ranked equipment were easily distributed, and everyone would be able to get some, but what about the higher-ranked ones?
That was why they were all arguing. The Silver and Gold-ranked equipment had been picked out and placed in front of the warehouse. The armors and weapons made of special metals were very eye-catching, causing everyone to covet them, not willing to give in an inch. Due to how few there were, they would not even be able to ensure that all the instructors and monitors would get one.
Xiao Lin, youre still recovering, why dont you rest. We managed to take over the fortress thanks to you holding back the orc commander, so just leave everything else to us! That ponytailed girl did not seem like that Xiao Lin snatched the notebook away from her, but her words were full of concern.
Qin Chuan could only bitterly frown. Even as an instructor, who was on the cusp of entering the second year and was too lazy to interfere with most of the things happening among the first years, he could still see that a few of the acting class monitors were not particularly friendly. Other than Chen Dao, Cheng Ming and a few others who had a decent relationship with Xiao Lin, the rest of them did not care for him at all.
That ponytailed woman might have looked concerned, but she clearly wanted to stop Xiao Lin from participating due to his injuries. She was implying that the Silver and Gold equipment should be left to those of them who were not injured and who were able to fight with their full potential.
Xiao Lin looked up from the inventory list, pondering for a while. He felt that the woman was quite familiar, but he could not recall who she was. He stared until she started to get goosebumps before asking, Uhm, who exactly are you?
You! Her face was full of anger.
The acting class monitors were basically of the same rank, so most of them interacted with each other quite regularly. Even in the forums, they had a specialized section just for the monitors, so most of them were familiar with each other.
However, Xiao Lin actually told the woman he did not know her, even though she was also an acting class monitor. To her ears, it felt like Xiao Lin was underestimating her. They were both acting class monitors, and hence both rivals, so how could he not recognize her.
Xiao Lin maintained a low profile normally, so he did not really interact with strangers. That was amplified by the fact that he spent more than a month in New Washington out of the three months they had enrolled, so other than Cheng Ming and Chen Dao, he was not particularly familiar with any of the other class monitors.
Shes Han Manman, Class Fours acting monitor, Cheng Ming hurriedly said to salvage the situation.
