Looking at the system’s panel interface she could see that she'd made a good impression on everyone.

The only two unaffected by her were Ai Lin and Feng Wu.

Ai Lin was a mystery.

Zi Cheng was sure she’d never offended the other party, yet somehow her favorability rating was barely above the fifty point baseline.

Feng Wu’s was even more surprising.

It was lower than Ai Lin’s at an incredibly low forty points! Could it be the incident with Yifu made Feng Wu angry? It didn’t make sense when she thought about it though.

Whether it was Feng Wu or Ai Lin, both girls gave a her a strange feeling.

For example, although she’d never met Ai Lin before she kept getting faint hostile stares thrown her way all throughout the journey.

It was still noticeable even though Ai Lin tried to hide it.

This was part of the reason Zi Cheng chose to leave with Yifu.

She hoped to move the girl’s heart by presenting herself as a selfless and dedicated friend.

Pei’s team found their way out of the forest the next day.

There were only nine people in the group after Yifu and Zi Cheng left.

They lined up in single file and proceeded to follow the narrow path out of the forest.

Once they left the forest they were able to make out a blue wall not too far in the distance.

It had to be the neutral city.

Unfortunately several villages were scattered between them and the city wall.

From their vantage point they could see the villagers moving about dressed in their animal skins.

They were fully aware they would be attacked on sight.

In order to get to the city safely they needed to avoid the hostile indigenous people.

The currency exchange between the real world and the virtual space was the same: 1000 copper coins = 1 silver coin 100 silver coins = 1 gold coin With 400 meat buns wrapped and stored away in her storage bag Feng Wu was a happy camper again.

The image as she walked down the street was that of a girl happily stroking her storage bag with one hand while nibbling on a meat bun in the other.

It was an image that couldn’t help but bring a smile to the passersby who saw her.

magicAi Lin had a very good impression of the city after exploring around.

It felt fantastical, like a holographic online game.

The city was a neutral zone filled with NPCs while the outside was a combat zone filled with villagers and monsters - essentially enemies.

Could the person who created the examination dimension be a fellow transmigrator from her world? This kind of ability, it was at a godlike level, too over the top! In fact Ai Lin’s guess was not far from the truth.

A thousand years ago a transmigrator had indeed entered the world and gained godlike powers.

The examination space was inspired from his memories of online games he played in his world.

He left it in the care of the academy to be used as a testing and training space for the students and potential candidates for the school.

So it was that while Feng Wu was enjoying her meat buns, Ai Lin was using her memory of the story line to exploit the situation.

She knew completing jobs set by NPCs would be the best way to get directional clues about the treasure.

She began by making contact with NPCs on the streets.

It was too bad things didn’t turn out the way she envisioned.

After leaving Feng Wu and the group behind, Ai Lin came upon a flower shop that was looking for help in obtaining a type of flower for one of their customers.

After asking the shopkeeper for details Ai Lin promptly went to the mountains and picked the flower.

Instead of getting the expected treasure map clues, she was given five silver coins.

It was not what she wanted! She was sure the shopkeeper had a clue, but for some reason was withholding it from her.

Ai Lin decided to switch tactics and just ask directly.

However the response remained the same, the shopkeeper simply didn’t know anything about a treasure map.

Because Ai Lin wouldn’t give up, the shopkeeper eventually became annoyed and tossed a bucket of dirty water at her.

Luckily Ai Lin was quick and avoided it in time.

In irritation she turned around and left the shop.

Although she wanted to keep asking, it was clear this specific shopkeeper had a bad temper.

It was better to leave before she offended her more.

Ai Lin wasn’t the only one asking about the treasure map, many others were also doing the same thing.

Zi Cheng and Yifu entered the city with another team just as Ai Lin left the flower shop.
