Chapter 36
After Lin Bai and the others went over, all the students had gathered.
In the square, hundreds of elite students from all 25 municipal units in the province were gathered.
Among the officers, the middle-aged man at the front of the group scanned everyone with a sharp gaze and then pressed the communication device hanging on his ear.
Immediately after, a rough voice was amplified through the broadcast and spread to the entire scene.
“Dear students, from now on, you’re a part of the Elite Special Training Base.
“I’m Feng Gang, the instructor for this special training. I’m in charge of everything.
“I won’t say much. Since you’re here at the Special Training Base, you have to follow the rules here.
“First of all, hand over everything other than your clothes and cold weapons.
“Don’t even think about keeping them for yourself. If we find any electronic devices like cell phones or microcomputers, you’ll be immediately disqualified from the special training!
“Restraining your desires is the first step for you to become strong!”
After he finished, the rest of the officers immediately came forward with baskets and collected everyone’s belongings.
Lin Bai only brought his phone and the Black Gold Throwing Knives. He only had the set of clothes he was wearing, so he handed over his phone very quickly.
Su Zi did not bring many things with her. Even though she was a girl, she did not have any random accessories on her, not even a single lipstick.
It could not be helped. A naturally beautiful person was just so willful.
Natural beauty could crush everything without any embellishments!
Only Xu Kun felt tortured.
He handed over his backpack full of high-quality photo magazines with tears in his eyes.
He heaved a heavy sigh.
From now on, he could only rely on his imagination to fill the void in his heart. This kind of life was too painful!
After the security check, no one was hiding anything.
Feng Gang’s expression did not change. No one could tell whether he was happy or angry as he continued to announce.
“The duration of this special training is uncertain. As for when it’ll end, it’ll depend on your progress. During this period, you’ll receive the best resources and the teachers. You won’t need to spend a single cent on food, clothing, accommodation, and transportation. It’ll just be deducted from your points.”
“Instructor, how do we get points? Is the consumption fast?”
As soon as the instructor announced that, someone immediately asked.
Feng Gang turned to look. “Good question. The top three students in every city have different starting point rewards. The first place gets 500 points, the second place gets 300 points, and the third place gets 100 points.
“There are three ways to obtain points.
“First, you can get some rewards for achieving your goal in the various training facilities. If you can break the record, you’ll get even more rewards.
“Second, challenge the other students. The winner can take half of the points.
“Third, you can also get points by doing odd jobs in the camp and helping with all kinds of daily affairs. Of course, these things are very simple. In most cases, you only get one or two points per hour of work.
“As for the consumption…”
Feng Gang smiled. “Accommodation costs 30 points per night for a single person, and a shower costs 20 points with 10 minutes for a time limit. A meal costs 5 points, and the time limit is 5 minutes. If you want to extend your stay, your shower, or eat more, you’ll have to pay the same amount of points.
“In terms of training, we’ll set the price according to the zone. The lowest price is 30 points per hour.
“If you have any questions about martial arts and require instructors to answer them, it’ll be 50 points for 10 minutes.
“I’ll give you a form when the time comes. There’s a list of items and their corresponding prices on it. You can slowly understand them.
“Remember, in the training camp, points are everything.
“The Special Training Base won’t give any humanitarian assistance to those without points.
“We won’t interfere even if you starve to death.”
Before the instructor could finish his words, there was an uproar.
“Wow! Are you kidding me? Is this special training? Why do I feel like this is devilish training?!”
“…I’ve just done some calculations. Even if I don’t do anything, just eating and living alone will cost me 45 points a day! If I take a shower, even more!”
“There seems to be a lot of ways to earn points, but it also feels like there aren’t many… It’s strange.”
“There’s quite a variety of thing you can do, but you won’t earn much. Is that what you mean?”
“The most terrifying thing is that the time of the special training is uncertain! If the points we earn every day are only enough for food and shelter, and we can’t improve, we’ll have to continue living like this!”
“I suddenly regret being so outstanding…”
In the face of such a competitive system, the group of students who had never come out of an isolated environment felt a deep sense of oppression.
Some of them were curiously sizing up the other geniuses as if they were looking for a target to challenge; some of them were resting with their eyes closed, looking fearless.
There were also people who ridiculed each other as if they had conflicts before and were prepared to resolve them through challenges during the special training.
Everyone knew that killing was allowed in the Special Training Base.
The purpose of this special training was to cultivate students with extremely high combat quality, break their psychological barriers, and stimulate their potential.
Of course, there would not be any restrictions.
However, most of them were still at a loss, not knowing what to do next.
Feng Gang’s next words instantly ignited their passion and helped them set their target.
“In the Special Training Base, all students are ranked according to their points. The top students will have special privileges, especially the first place. Not only will that person get a villa, but he or she will also get a discount on the points required for the different things.”
‘Privileges!’
Everyone’s eyes lit up.
The first place had moved them.
The villa was not important. What was important was this special honor that was different from others!
Those who could come here were all geniuses. At the end of the day, they all had their pride and wanted to prove that they were better than others.
Now, on such a high-valued stage in the Special Training Base, if one did not perform well and prove that one was the best in the province, what was the point of practicing martial arts?
In the crowd, Xu Kun was dumbfounded.
As the noob, this battle of raw power and talent seemed to have nothing to do with him.
Lin Bai was calm and composed, his emotions were not shown on his face. His indifferent expression had never changed.
On the other hand, Su Zi was full of energy as if she could not wait.
…
At the same time, two figures stood tall on the 100-meter city wall.
Their auras had returned to their original state as if they had become one with the environment. No one noticed them at all.
The two of them held binoculars in their hands as they silently watched the students below.
The man on the left was wearing a military uniform full of merit medals and holding an ebony cane in his other hand. His face was thin and old.
Although his figure was slightly short due to his old age and did not match his military uniform, his toughness that radiated from his bones made people respect him.
He slowly opened his mouth, his voice attractive. “Old Li, who do you think is the most promising in this batch of students?”
Old Li’s outfit was similar, but there was a star on his shoulder. He pointed at a tall, bald man with bulging muscles and a terrifyingly strong body.
“Sun Qiang, I think. Among the top three, this kid has the best stats. Just his left fist power alone is 147.85 tons. He’s one of the more outstanding ones if compared with those from the previous batches. Old Fang, what do you think?”
“That kid is strong, but he hasn’t awakened his talent yet. His growth speed can’t be compared to that of Zou Xu and Lin Tianyuan, who have awakened their talents.”
Old Fang smiled and said, “The initial data for joining the base doesn’t mean anything. We’ve produced so many geniuses who have exceeded a fist power of 4,000 tons. Do you think Sun Qiang, who has yet to awaken his talent, can achieve that? ”
Elder Li was silent for a while. He picked up the binoculars and looked for a while. Suddenly, he pointed at another person. “Lin Bai, an ordinary top student who just emerged from the Fifth Academy in Base City. All of a sudden, he’s become a brat that even Su Zi is concerned about.”
“Him? I did a talent test for him during the security check just now, but it didn’t show anything. He should’ve awakened a special talent.”
Old Fang shook his head. “It’s true that special talents are hard to come by, but his innate talent is too poor. If he was a Grade A, it would still be fine. Be it tempering his body or consuming medicinal pills, there wouldn’t be too much waste. It’s a pity that he’s only a Grade C. Compared to others, he has to put in several times more effort before he can barely catch up.”
As he spoke, Elder Fang sighed.
“He’s indeed a good seedling. It’s a pity that he has such a body. No matter how outstanding he is, he’s still barely comparable to Sun Qiang and the others.”
