Chapter 750: Trivial Classroom
Combat map?
The classroom fell silent again. Su Jiu’s bold idea was already somewhat shocking, and with the teacher’s subsequent words, the students were a bit dumbfounded.
“When did the rules change?”
“Why weren’t we told before? But it’s good to clash with other schools in the simulation training camp.”
Going into such a combat map would not only mean a major change in rules, but also simulated terrain and monsters, which would be a great test for them as high school students living in an ivory tower.
“No, logically speaking, modifications shouldn’t be made on the fly…”
However, just as everyone was surprised by the change, the girl’s eyes under her round glasses lowered slightly. Facing the change, she actually thought more of the past Huayang. The tragedy, which could be called a disaster, was precisely caused by an internal training exercise.
A possibility had already emerged in her mind. Since Dragon Hunters and Night Watchers could infiltrate the Ancient God Sect, it was normal for the Ancient God Sect to counter-infiltrate.
“Jiu Susu!”
Suddenly shouting with full vigor, the male teacher looked at her, his eyes filled with scrutiny. He then spoke again: “If you can practice what you preach in the actual combat, I can reserve an intern position for you with the Dragon Hunters.”
“Intern Dragon Hunter?!”
“What’s wrong with this old Niu? Why is he offering such a reward today?”
The classroom, which had quieted down, became noisy again. Except for those with family connections, almost everyone looked at her with a mixture of surprise and envy.
This was equivalent to getting a great job right after university graduation. Being an intern Dragon Hunter was much harder than being an ordinary civil servant. It was worth celebrating just to get into an administrative institution like the Law Enforcement Hall for ordinary people.
Upon hearing this, Su Jiu simply thanked him softly, “Then thank you, teacher, in advance.”
The male teacher, known as Old Niu, tried to find any hint of surprise or emotional fluctuation on her face, but only met a small face with a smile, and then said with a hint of amusement:
“Why are you thanking me? Only if you replicate the operation you mentioned in actual combat will I make you qualified after graduation. It’s not given to you casually.”
Nodding, Su Jiu’s expression remained relaxed. Looking up, she responded earnestly, “I know.”
It was a joke. If she encountered a Scarlet Flame Wolf, and stood there, whether the other party would dare to bite was another matter.
For the actual training, she would directly deploy these shadows throughout the entire area, follow this Guan Xiaorong, and wait for the Ferryman to reveal himself, then refine him instantly.
It was also a good time since her wine gourd was empty. It would be nice if someone sent some wine.
“Student Jiu Susu, the avatar state requires energy and stamina. Don’t keep using it just because you’ve reached the Advanced Stage Warrior.”
After glancing at Su Jiu, the teacher’s gaze swept over her ears. The teacher explained the rules again. It was also a point system. Although the points counted were roughly the same, it was a bit different from before. You could get points from students of the same level.
In addition, there was a token scoring device. When approaching, the scoring device would sense it. The closer to the higher-scoring individuals, the stronger the mutual sensing between teams.
Furthermore, a “red name” mechanism was added. Within the limited three major regions, everyone was in a red name state. Challenges could be initiated, and the losing team would have their points cleared. The final score would be the total score of the training before clearing.
“Another one of those old-fashioned team trifectas.”
Yawning again, Su Jiu had no interest in these rules. She just wanted to play with her phone and, after class, have Youyou investigate the organizers.
Guan Xiaorong next to her, however, showed unprecedented enthusiasm. The fighting spirit in her eyes seemed to carry a hint of flame. After all, it was her first time participating in a team competition with others.
In the seats behind, the class leader kept staring at Su Jiu, a new idea dawning in his mind…
Ever since the latter was recognized by the teacher just now, he felt that the other party might have something extraordinary. What if he gave up his current team and joined Guan Xiaorong’s team?
Would this lead the class to achieve higher scores?
“Ding ding!!”
Time passed quickly, and this continuous class came to an end. Noon also arrived, and even the best high schools would experience a “Train to Busan” scene.
“During the actual training this afternoon, you can invite your parents to watch or take pictures. There will be dedicated camera positions.”
As soon as the old Niu teacher finished speaking, the entire classroom buzzed, with students constantly rushing towards the side doors.
Guan Xiaorong slowly stood up, quietly put away her textbooks, looked at Su Jiu fiddling with her phone, and suddenly asked, “Classmate Jiu, will your parents be coming this afternoon?”
Blinking, Su Jiu pondered for a moment and said softly, “They probably will.”
She definitely couldn’t fight alone. Later, she would have some Night Watchers pretend to be her parents and sneak in.
“Oh.”
After responding, Guan Xiaorong walked towards the cafeteria, her figure a little lonely, after all, she was just a young student.
After watching her back for a few seconds, Su Jiu did not linger in the classroom for too long but headed towards the school cafeteria. On the way, to verify her guess, she sent a message to Youyou.
In the message, she conveyed her guess about this change and emphasized not to alert the enemy, as this was precisely an opportunity.
About five minutes later, her phone vibrated.
“Beep beep!”
【Youyou: This change was pushed by the Huainan branch of the Qingxiao Alliance. This is a semi-official organization, said to be for cultivating talents and then specially training them to enter the top five.】
“Foreshadowing the recruitment…”
As if realizing something, Su Jiu’s mouth twitched. She tapped the screen with her fingers and replied:
【Me: Simply put, it’s competing for talent with the local official agencies.】
【Youyou: You can say that, but what I find most strange is that not many schools were invited to this event, only three. Besides Jiang Hai High School, where you are, there are also Tian Yi High School and Bai Niao Yi Gao.】
Her gaze swept over the text on her phone as Su Jiu dangled her way towards the cafeteria, continuing to tap:
【Me: That should be normal, right? After all, such large-scale training bases can’t actually accommodate thousands of people.】
【Youyou: Indeed. If the three high schools were all at the same level, it would seem normal, but Bai Niao Yi Gao is just an ordinary high school, not at the level of the key high schools like Jiang Hai and Tian Yi. Its sudden involvement is very strange.】
Looking at the text on her phone, Su Jiu fell into thought. Her first thought was a possibility…
Before she could even type, Youyou on the other end, as if reading Su Jiu’s mind, sent another message:
【I guess the students in this ordinary high school have a problem. Previously, the Ancient God Sect used human alchemy devices in Huayang, and the technology was spread nationwide. They also set up dedicated lines for each school to quickly contact Battle King powerhouses in the provincial capital, but there were still many loopholes to exploit.】
Looking at this clear reasoning, Su Jiu couldn’t help but sigh, truly worthy of being in intelligence. Ordinary people couldn’t compare in this regard. She also replied:
【Me: It’s pretty much what I thought, Sister Youyou. With my strength, I can also break through the alchemy barrier in the God Sacrifice. However, to be safe, I’ll have Old Man come to the school this afternoon as well.】
【Youyou: 👌🏻】
Su Jiu had originally planned to have a few ordinary Night Watchers act as parents. But thinking that there might be a blood sacrifice, she might as well invite Old Man to preside over the situation.
Now, everything was almost set.
Of course, there was another reason – Bai Zhi’s skills, and the letters on that alchemy wallet.
Perhaps only Old Man would know.
