Whole School Transmigrated: I Have 3 Daily Intel

Chapter 40: Chapter 38: 2 A-Level Intels, Wilderness Grassland

Chen Chong’s face was grim as he looked at the three pieces of intelligence.

[D-Class Intelligence: Something will appear 1500 meters to the south.]

[A-Level Intelligence: A Secret Card reveals information about the next transmigration in advance, including the time, ecosystem, difficulty level, potential dangers, and hundreds of other restricted details. Secret Cards can only be obtained by killing Extraordinary Creatures.]

[A-Level Intelligence: All Extraordinary Creatures have weaknesses. In the beginner-difficulty Primitive Jungle, the Unihorn Catfish is the weakest among the low-tier Extraordinary Creatures, ranking fourth in threat level. The method to kill it is hidden deep within the jungle...]

Chen Chong dismissed the first, less important piece of intelligence.

Gazing at the other two pieces of intelligence, he realized for the first time that the mechanics of this whole transmigration event were far more complex than he had ever imagined.

It was the first time two A-Level intelligence reports had appeared in a row, and the information each one contained was vital...

’This transmigration... there’s going to be another one!’

’In other words, our school’s stay in this Primitive Jungle is only temporary.’

’How long will we be here? When will the next transmigration happen?’

’And this place, with its multiple Extraordinary Creatures and dangerous beasts, is only considered beginner difficulty.’

’What would intermediate and advanced levels be like?’

’Will there be an even more terrifying Hell-level?’

’Then there was the third piece of intelligence.’

’The Unihorn Catfish is ranked fourth among low-tier Extraordinary Creatures. Does that mean the three ranked above it are the Blood-tooth Python and the Stone Claw Eagle?’

’And what about the one Extraordinary Creature that hasn’t appeared yet... What is it?’

’Could it be even more terrifying than these three behemoths?’

The two intelligence reports raised so many questions that Chen Chong’s thoughts were in a jumble.

However, he did manage to confirm a few things.

’Secret Cards can only be obtained by hunting and killing Extraordinary Creatures.’

’If I want to know about the next transmigration, it looks like I have no choice but to hunt these Extraordinary Creatures.’

’And it wasn’t just for the Secret Cards.’

’Didn’t yesterday’s information say that killing Extraordinary Creatures also yields Rare Cards?’

’Extraordinary Creatures pose the greatest threat to our survival, but they’re also treasure chests. It all comes down to whether we have the ability to hunt them...’

"This jungle... there should only be four Extraordinary Creatures, right?"

Chen Chong muttered to himself. After all, the intelligence report had stated that the Unihorn Catfish was the weakest, ranked fourth.

That indirectly confirmed that there were only four of them.

As for the others, like the Fear Wolf he had encountered, or the poisonous wasps, mushrooms, and Cannibal Flowers that Sima had mentioned, they were probably just considered unusual lifeforms, not in the same league as Extraordinary Creatures.

It was a shame, though. While the intelligence mentioned that the way to kill the Unihorn Catfish was hidden in the jungle, it didn’t specify what it was.

’I wonder if future intelligence reports will offer more specific details...’

"Brother Chong, what are you muttering about?" Xu Jun asked, puzzled, as he sorted out a bird net nearby. "You’ve looked off since this morning. Is something on your mind?"

"It’s nothing. Just thinking about our next steps for survival." Chen Chong sighed. He hadn’t told Xu Jun about the information from the intelligence reports.

’It wasn’t a matter of trust. It was just that telling him wouldn’t help; it would only add to his stress for no reason.’

’It’s enough that I know it myself. Besides, I’ll bring Xu Jun along for whatever we do...’

"Oh, I see. Don’t worry, Brother Chong! With your brains, we’ll definitely make it. I’ll always have your back. Whatever happens, we’ll face it together!" Xu Jun beamed.

Chen Chong smiled too, patting Xu Jun’s shoulder without saying anything more.

In a bizarre situation like this transmigration, having a brother he could be completely open with was his only real comfort.

Surviving... that was the only goal!

"Sir, it’s time to eat."

Wang Biao and Jia Wen had just finished cooking, and they brought the pot and bowls over to the table.

Inside was a stew of Moose offal—liver, intestines, heart, and lungs—along with some large, chopped bones.

Even though it was all offal, it had been stewed with half a block of hot pot base they had traded for earlier. It looked quite appetizing, and the rich, meaty aroma was tantalizing.

It was bound to taste good.

"This hot pot base is a rare commodity. Every bit we eat is a bit gone forever, so I’m going to eat my fill today."

Xu Jun picked up his bowl and chopsticks and eagerly started scooping up meat.

"Next time, we can check the trading market to see if there are any more seasonings like this," Chen Chong said. "Plenty of people at our school used to sneak hot pot in their dorms. Someone might have a stash."

"Oh, good idea! Speaking of which, I wonder if anyone has any braising spices. I’m starting to crave some braised meat."

"We can go look together then. For now, let’s eat. We have to get to work when we’re done."

"Alrighty..."

...

「Noon. South of the school.」

Chen Chong’s group of four walked through the jungle, armed and carrying packs at their waists.

"Brother Chong, I gave that box of salt to a classmate. I told him to take it to the Survival Association and trade it for whatever he could get. He should be coming to find us downstairs at the apartment building tonight."

"Can you trust him? Make sure he doesn’t just run off with the salt."

"Don’t worry. He’s from the class next to ours, and I’ve lent him money a few times, so we know each other pretty well. He’s a decent guy. Besides, if he really dares to run off, I know which floor he lives on."

"Alright. We got it for free anyway, so it’s fine as long as we can trade it for some food. By the way, Wang Biao, didn’t you set your traps over here yesterday?"

Wang Biao, who was following behind, spoke up. "That’s right, Sir. I set three traps, all in the thicket up ahead."

Chen Chong nodded, thinking to himself that it was quite a coincidence.

’The direction Wang Biao set his traps yesterday is the same one mentioned in that first intelligence report.’

’While we’re checking the traps, I can look for that ’something’ there.’

In five days, Chen Chong had already started to figure out the patterns behind the intelligence reports.

D-Class intelligence was very vague, but if the word "something" appeared, it was most likely a Card.

C-Class and B-Level reports, on the other hand, were much clearer, specifying the exact item...

After walking for about twenty minutes, they arrived at the spot where the traps had been set the day before.

Wang Biao pulled a trap out of a muddy hole. It was completely empty.

He found the second trap in a pile of withered grass. It was also empty.

The third trap, found under a dead tree several meters in diameter, was also empty.

Even the bait inside hadn’t been touched...

The empty traps didn’t discourage any of them.

Trapping was always a matter of luck.

If you were lucky, you could catch prey the next day.

If you were unlucky, it was normal to go three or five days with nothing to show for it.

It all came down to finding a good location.

"Looks like there’s very little small animal activity in this area. I’ll have to find a new spot for these," Wang Biao said.

Wang Biao collected the three traps.

The group continued onward...

After passing through a dense part of the forest, the surrounding trees began to thin out. As they pushed aside a large patch of low shrubs, their view suddenly opened up to a wide, sunlit grassland ahead.

Their eyes widened in surprise.

No one would have expected to find such a large, overgrown field in the southern part of the Primitive Jungle.

Weeds and shrubs half a meter high covered an area of at least several hundred meters. Aside from earthy slopes and all sorts of unidentifiable weeds, there was no other vegetation.

In a Primitive Jungle filled with towering ancient trees, it was a strikingly unique landscape...

Before Chen Chong, Xu Jun, and Jia Wen could even react, Wang Biao broke into a smile.

"Sir, I’ve found the perfect place to set the traps."

"Wild rabbits are much more likely to appear in a field like this than in the forest. This environment is better for them to dig burrows and build nests. We might even find turtledoves, pheasants, or foxes here."

"Placing the traps near the burrow entrances here will definitely increase our chances of catching something!"

"Alright. Go find a good spot, then." Chen Chong’s internal sense was growing stronger, confirming that the ’something’ from the intelligence report was nearby.

Wang Biao took the traps and began searching for wild rabbit burrows in the half-meter-high grass.

Meanwhile, Chen Chong continued to sense the location of the "something."

With nothing else to do, Xu Jun and Jia Wen started wandering around the overgrown field, scouting the surrounding terrain...
