As Chen Chuan crossed the train station plaza, he stopped by a phone booth to call Cheng Zitong. He let it ring three times, then hung up.
The call didn't need to be answered. Cheng Zitong would get the message.
'This time, the assessment for the Defense Certificate, including travel time, took only about six days from start to finish. The time should be... acceptable, right?'
'The professor should be able to accept it.'
Just as he had on his way there, he casually bought a few newspapers and story collections in the station plaza. He had timed his arrival well, so he didn't have to wait long before an announcement reported the train's arrival. He passed smoothly through the ticket gate and boarded the train directly.
As usual, his return ticket was for a seat. He placed his belongings on the luggage rack, but as he did so, he heard a faint rustling sound from inside his suitcase.
This was because the Combat Spider was also inside.
