Chapter 10: A Glory Easter Egg? A Funny Easter Egg? (Second Update)

Andy’s office was luxuriously decorated and filled with a faint fragrance. It contained many items that looked extremely high-end, and there were even two rows of display cabinets covered with glass cases.

However, in Baili Yuan’s opinion, Andy’s office wasn’t very good because... it was too dark!

As an Ultraman, living in a house with poor lighting was practically slow suicide!

The most important common feature of buildings in the Land of Light was their excellent lighting!

Although his need for light was much weaker after transforming into a human form, habits formed over two thousand years could not be changed overnight.

Even though this dim room had more of a "big boss" atmosphere and a sense of prestige, it truly made Baili Yuan feel uncomfortable.

Therefore, after swiping a bronze Easter egg from the office, Baili Yuan decided to go out for a stroll to see the academy’s scenery and, by the way—swipe more eggs!

As for waiting for Andy? Don’t think that just because you have a big chest, I, Baili Yuan, will listen to you! Unless... you let me touch them!

Ahem.

...

The density and number of Easter eggs within the Emblem Academy were clearly far higher than outside the academy.

Baili Yuan estimated this was because many powerful individuals were gathered within the Emblem Academy.

Easter eggs mainly refreshed at special locations and on special people.

However, generally speaking, the quality of eggs refreshed at special locations was lower than those on special people. Didn't you see that the egg on Andy was a diamond one, while the egg in the office was only a bronze one?

Unless a location was extremely dangerous, it was unlikely to refresh higher-quality eggs—like in places with spatial turbulence—but that was a place Baili Yuan never wanted to visit a second time in his life.

Most of the eggs Baili Yuan found in the Emblem Academy were Black Iron and Bronze eggs. Baili Yuan did a rough count and found there were over thirty of these two types combined. Silver eggs were much rarer, with only seven, and a few of those were moving, which meant they had refreshed on people or other living creatures. There was one Golden egg.

Baili Yuan checked his detector, counting the eggs and planning his route, but suddenly, a different light spot appeared in his field of vision.

The detector displayed light spots in different colors based on the egg's grade, but among the various colored spots, there appeared a different, "gaudy little slut"!

It was... how should I put it? Why was the light spot a "funny" emoji? And why was it shaking up and down?

"System, come out and explain!"

"It is a Glory Egg," the system explained.

"A Glory Egg?"

"Yes, it refreshed because you successfully enrolled," the system explained.

"Then why didn't you notify me earlier?" Baili Yuan asked.

"After coming out of the spatial turbulence, you had a change of heart. You thought the notification function was annoying, so you turned it off~" the system’s voice sounded aggrieved.

Baili Yuan was speechless. He had kept the notifications on while in the spatial turbulence to predict danger, and since there were quite a few eggs there, he had been bothered by the notification sounds for quite a while. Naturally, he had turned them off the moment he got out to give his ears some peace.

"Fine, notify me whenever these special types of eggs refresh from now on, got it? Hmm... add Golden grade and above to the notification list as well," Baili Yuan said.

"Received!"

"Alright, now explain to me why it's a 'funny' emoji."

"Because... I didn't know what color would be more eye-catching for a Glory Egg, so I just slapped a 'funny' emoji on it. It's round anyway."

Baili Yuan’s mouth twitched.

"Fine, let's go see what this Glory Egg is all about before looking for the others."

...

Baili Yuan began moving toward the Glory Egg.

The Emblem Academy was vast, and Baili Yuan was not close to the Glory Egg.

On the way, Baili Yuan encountered quite a few students and teachers in school uniforms. They looked like ordinary students, though the students he saw on the road seemed older, looking more like high schoolers.

Although some people were curious about Baili Yuan and came over to ask questions, Baili Yuan brushed them all off with some passable excuses.

Baili Yuan didn't know the layout of the Emblem Academy, and the detector didn't display a map, so he could only try to find his way by following the direction of the egg.

Fortunately, although there were many buildings in the Emblem Academy, the layout was simple. Baili Yuan didn't run into any dead ends, and gradually, he drew closer to the Glory Egg.

On the way, he also managed to swipe one Bronze egg and five Black Iron eggs.

Baili Yuan didn't have high expectations for Black Iron eggs; they only ever contained miscellaneous items or even trash, having no value at all.

Bronze eggs, however, could contain some relatively valuable things, such as cigarettes.

Baili Yuan hadn't opened any Silver or Golden eggs yet, so he didn't know what they might contain.

...

After walking for nearly an hour, Baili Yuan finally arrived near the Glory Egg.

Short legs are a tragedy.

Looking at the Glory Egg not far away on the detector, Baili Yuan felt a surge of excitement.

The description of the Glory Egg was that everything was random, meaning it could contain anything! What if he opened it and got a divine artifact?

After all, he was an Ultraman, not some unlucky European!

However, Baili Yuan’s expression soon stiffened, and he stared at the detector in a daze.

Because, next to the Glory Egg, three Silver eggs had appeared out of nowhere?!!

Baili Yuan was certain there hadn't been any Silver eggs near the Glory Egg before. That meant these three Silver eggs were on living creatures, and they had moved next to the Glory Egg?

Baili Yuan was a bit excited, suddenly having the illusion of a bountiful harvest, but he quickly calmed down. They weren't wheat; they wouldn't just wait for him to harvest them.

"Eggs! Wait for me!" With a shout, Baili Yuan started running quickly on his short legs.

Soon, Baili Yuan reached the vicinity of the Glory Egg. It had refreshed on a lawn.

At this moment, a circle of students surrounded the lawn, seemingly watching something.

But Baili Yuan was in no mood to investigate what the students were watching. If he didn't hurry, the egg would leave!

How could Baili Yuan be blocked out like this? Taking advantage of his small stature, he wove through the gaps between the students' legs, successfully causing a stir of exclamations, and managed to squeeze to the very front.

A large "funny" face stood there quietly...
