Lord of the Star Ocean

Peng Yi's team is not the first team to return to the outpost camp.

Before them, hundreds of students who participated in the assessment had returned one after another, but not all of them got the demon crystals needed to complete the task, and many of them gave up on their own.

Those who gave up were not confident that they could kill enough monsters in the extremely dangerous Misty Swamp. They chose to hide in a safe place, and returned to the camp immediately after the stipulated time, unwilling to risk their lives to gain a chance.

These people are not a minority. They came with great ambitions, but they were hit hard by the cruel reality.

But in the end he survived.

More people died in the depths of the Great Swamp. By the end of the assessment time, many teams hadn't even returned. Most likely, the group was wiped out.

The first thing they did when they returned to the camp was that Peng Yi, Nie Feng and others handed in the demon crystal they had captured.

The outpost camp is guarded by a martial artist sent by Wuge. His job is to identify these demon crystals to ensure that the students are not cheating.

All eight team members, including Nie Feng, passed the mission appraisal and received mission completion certificates.

It can be said that from this moment on, they are already formal students of the Haoyuan Wuge Fire Department!

However, not everyone is as lucky as them.

In the next few days, one or two hundred people returned to the camp one after another, and many of them were seriously injured and dying.

The more people came back, the weirder the atmosphere in the camp.

Those students who got ten demon crystals were elated and triumphant, those who failed in the task were dejected and silent, and those who were injured or even disabled wanted to cry without tears.

Perhaps there will be survivors in a few days, but the arbitration warriors of Wuge will not wait, and the Qingmeng warship responsible for transporting personnel will arrive as scheduled.

Ten days ago, five Qingmeng warships brought more than 400 samurai students to participate in the mission. Today, less than half of them returned by the same boat, and those who completed the mission had to pay a half discount.

In other words, only a hundred or so assessment students have obtained completion certificates and become formal students.

The cruelty of the assessment by the Fire Department of the Wu Pavilion can be seen!

The return trip went smoothly, the three Qingmen warships arrived at the pier outside Haoyuan City smoothly without encountering any monster attacks.

Seeing the towering city wall in the distance, the students standing on the deck all cheered.

In fact, they were very familiar with Haoyuan City, and usually they would not react at all when they saw the city walls, but when they came back from the Great Swamp and saw Haoyuan City again, they were extraordinarily friendly and had a great sense of security.

I can finally relax completely.

"Brother Nie Feng..."

Peng Yi grinned and said to Nie Feng, "Let's go to the Bison Tavern and have a good drink later!"

Nie Feng thought for a while and said, "I'll go back to the inn first, and I'll find you guys later."

After leaving for more than ten days, he was a little worried about Nie Chen and Nie Xi who were staying in the inn, so he had to go back and have a look.

"Also..."

Peng Yi didn't force it, and said, "We'll wait for you, and we won't return until we're drunk!"

Nie Feng laughed and said, "If you don't get drunk, you won't return!"

The Qingmeng warship slowly docked at the berth, and the sails landed one after another.

There were already many people standing on the pier, and when they saw the warship approaching the shore, they immediately gathered around, shouting different names incessantly.

These people are obviously relatives and friends of the examinee students, and they came to the pier to greet them after getting the news.

However, many of them must be disappointed, sad or even sad, because more than half of the students have died or disappeared in the Misty Swamp, and they are destined not to see each other again today.

Even though Nie Feng had a firm heart, he didn't want to see such a scene, so he hurried off the boat with Peng Yi, and went to Haoyuan City through the crowd who came to greet him.

When he arrived in Haoyuan City, he parted ways with the team and went to Linhu Inn alone.

When Nie Feng was about to leave, the room that had been rented for half a month had not yet expired.

When he knocked on the door, it was Nie Xi who opened the door.

"ah!"

Seeing the dusty Nie Feng return safely, the girl immediately cried out in surprise: "Master!"

Nie Feng smiled and said, "I'm back, where is Nie Chen?"

With that said, he stepped into the room.

It's been a while since I saw him, Nie Xi is not as thin and timid as before, he has become much more sane, not to mention more courageous.

She hurriedly brought tea to Nie Feng and said, "Brother just left, he should be back soon."

"Master!"

As soon as Nie Xi's words fell, there was a surprised cry from outside the door. Nie Chen rushed in suddenly, threw himself in front of Nie Feng and saluted him: "You're back? That's great!"

He was so happy that tears flowed out.

Nie Feng stretched out his hand to support him, and said, "There's no need to be too polite, I've passed the examination by the Ministry of Fire, and I'm going to enter the Martial Pavilion to practice in a few days, how is the matter I told you going?"

When Nie Feng left, he told Nie Chen to rent a house near Haoyuan Wuge, because after entering Wuge, he would definitely be in Haoyuan City for several years, and it was impossible to live in an expensive inn every day.

Although Haoyuanwu Pavilion has a dormitory, Nie Feng doesn't plan to live there, after all he has many secrets.

Nie Chen said quickly, "Master, I have already found several good houses, and I am waiting for you to come back and decide."

"Congratulations, young master!"

He congratulated Nie Feng on passing the examination of the Ministry of Fire. One must know that the Ministry of Fire of Wuge trained knights of the Empire. As Nie Feng's servant, he was naturally honored!

"very good…"

Nie Feng nodded and said, "I'll change my clothes first, and I'll see the house you chose later."

Under Nie Xi's service, Nie Feng took a shower and changed into a set of clean clothes.

When he came out, Nie Chen took out the paperwork that had been prepared.

The content recorded on the document is the introduction of the five houses, including the area, location, layout, rent, etc.

The five houses are all on the edge of Haoyuanwu Pavilion, and the farthest one is less than half a minute's walk away, so it is very convenient to enter and exit.

Nie Chen obviously spent a lot of thought.

Nie Feng was very satisfied with this, he carefully read the documents one by one, and chose the house he liked.

When he saw the last set, Nie Feng was stunned: "Is this set still for sale?"

Haoyuan City is the main city of Haoyuan Star. It has a large population and the most resources. The business is prosperous and the trade is flourishing. The real estate properties in the city are naturally expensive.

It is not too much to say that every inch of land is expensive in a truly prosperous area. Although Haoyuanwu Pavilion is not located in the city center, the surrounding houses are not cheap, and there are prices but no market.

The reason is simple. Housing prices have been rising all the time, and no one is willing to sell them easily. Renting them out is the best choice, and the rent is not cheap.

But this house can be rented or bought, and the most important thing is that the selling price is beyond Nie Feng's expectation.
