Chapter 37: Forbidden Zone No. 3, A World of Ghosts and Spirits!
“That’s the kid. I heard last night that he got the highest mission rating in Forbidden Zone No. 2! I can’t believe it’s true.”
“What you probably find even more surprising is that the highest mission rating comes with an additional talent reward, right?”
“Yeah! I still have no idea how he managed that.”
“Are the new recruits these days really this impressive? Achieving a C-level rating right out of the gate!”
“As long as nothing unexpected happens, this kid is bound to have a bright future…”
“Boss, should we invite him to join our student council?”
“Definitely! A talent like him deserves to be fast-tracked for promotion.”
“Don’t forget that girl with the amazing archery skills. She also qualifies to join our student council!”
“Hmph! I think your real interest isn’t in getting her into the council, is it?”
“Hehe, you know me too well, boss…”
Several upperclassmen were discussing the freshmen as they observed them from the sidelines of the training field.
…
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
During these three days, Fang Ye had dealt with quite a few disturbances.
Almost every hour, his phone would ring with invitations for him to transfer to better schools for further training.
Fang Ye had no idea how his number had been leaked, but these incessant calls were driving him crazy, so he eventually just turned off his phone to escape it all…
Today was the day the new courses would begin.
From today onwards, the teachers would teach them all about Forbidden Zone No. 3.
Because of this, Fang Ye was quite excited.
He had heard long ago that Forbidden Zone No. 3 contained zombies!
He just didn’t know if it was the same world from a certain work he remembered…
At nine o’clock in the morning, all the students were in the classroom, waiting for class to begin.
The one teaching them, once again, was Professor Zhou.
*Ding-ding-ding!*
As the bell rang, Professor Zhou walked into the classroom carrying a stack of textbooks.
“Class monitor, distribute the textbooks to everyone.”
The class monitor, Su Ziqiu, nodded and took the textbooks, distributing them to the students one by one.
When she handed the textbook to Fang Ye, there was a noticeable change in her expression, as if she was… angry?
She was indeed angry at Fang Ye!
This guy—she had clearly given him her contact info…
Yet three days had passed, and he hadn’t made a single call! Not even a text message…
The proud Su Ziqiu, a campus beauty, was feeling ignored for the first time in her life!
*Bang!*
Su Ziqiu slammed the textbook onto Fang Ye’s desk with a thud and shot him a fierce glare before continuing to distribute the books.
Fang Ye was left feeling completely bewildered…
But as soon as he got the textbook in hand, Fang Ye quickly forgot about her and eagerly flipped it open to start studying.
The first page of the textbook also featured a drawing!
In the image, there was a terrifying humanoid creature with a ghastly face and fangs, looking fierce and menacing.
It was dressed in the official robes of the Qing Dynasty, giving it a sense of ancient dignity.
A zombie!
Upon seeing the picture of the zombie, Fang Ye narrowed his eyes slightly.
He felt like he had seen this type of zombie somewhere before…
…
Once all the textbooks had been distributed, Professor Zhou said, “As usual, don’t lose or damage the textbooks. Once you’ve cleared Forbidden Zone No. 3, they need to be returned. Got it?”
The students responded in unison, “Got it!”
“Alright, let’s begin the lesson!”
Professor Zhou cleared his throat and said, “Forbidden Zone No. 3 is a world of ghosts and spirits. Inside, there are zombies, female ghosts…”
“Compared to the zombies in Forbidden Zone No. 2, the creatures in Forbidden Zone No. 3 are much more dangerous! They’re even deadlier than the lickers in Zone No. 2, so you must be extra cautious. It’s best to team up before you go.”
“Now, let me tell you about the characteristics of zombies. Open your textbooks to the first page!”
“A zombie is a mythical creature, according to folklore. It is said that when a person dies, if their body absorbs too much negative energy, they transform into a mindless, bloodthirsty monster…”
All the students listened attentively.
Some of the more timid ones had already turned pale with fear.
Just hearing Professor Zhou’s description was enough to make everyone feel that zombies were indeed far more terrifying than ordinary zombies…
Fang Ye also listened carefully.
Even though he knew the plot well, it didn’t hurt to gather more information.
Better safe than sorry!
Professor Zhou’s explanation was thorough.
After going over all the details about zombies and female ghosts, he continued, “The world of Forbidden Zone No. 3 is set in a time similar to the last century of our own world, just after the fall of the feudal dynasty, when industrial civilization was still very underdeveloped.”
“The story takes place in a place called Renjia Town. The Ren family is the most powerful and influential household in town. The first zombie that appeared was none other than one of their ancestors, Master Ren…”
As soon as Fang Ye heard this, his eyes lit up.
Renjia Town!
Master Ren!!
These two keywords were so familiar to him.
They were straight out of the movie world of *Mr. Vampire*!
