Chapter 19: Teamwork
Ignoring Xia Youhui, who was pretending to be dumbfounded, Luo Fei looked at Chen Chu and suggested: "It will be noon soon, do you want to go have dinner together?"
“The food in the canteen in Wuxiu District is different from that in the liberal arts area. A portion of exotic animal meat is provided every day.”
Chen Chu heard this and was immediately curious: "Is the taste of exotic animal meat any different from ordinary meat?"
“There’s not much difference in taste, but it’s chewier and contains more nutrients, because the meat in the canteen is just ordinary raised exotic animals.”
While speaking, Luo Fei tucked her hair hanging down from her forehead behind her ears.
At this time, the office door in the distance opened. Pang Long glanced at the three of them: "It's still a little early for dinner. Chen Chu, come over and sign some agreements."
"...Okay teacher." Chen Chu, who didn't know what to sign, said hello to Luo Fei and Xia Youhui, and followed them into the office.
“This is ‘the law that practitioners shall not use force to coerce or harm ordinary people’. This is a commitment letter prohibiting the spread of the practice.”
“Also, this is the ‘Weapon Management Treaty for School Students’, this is the ‘Daily Notes for Practitioners’ Regulations’ and ‘Guidelines for Acting Bravely when Encountering Unjust Things’…”
As he spoke, Pang Long took out documents one by one from the drawer and threw them to Chen Chu.
Some are regulations that he needs to sign, and some are matters that need to be paid attention to after becoming a cultivator in school, including the management of weapons, etc.
Because there were so many files, even Chen Chu was overwhelmed by them all.
Seeing the headache on his face, Pang Long smiled: "I didn't tell you to read it in two times. You can take it home after school today and read it slowly. Just leave it to me tomorrow."
“Good teacher.” Chen Chu breathed a sigh of relief.
Pang Long nodded: "I've seen your foundation building data. It's good. Have you selected the technique?"
“Yes.” Chen Chu nodded.
Pang Long reminded: "Now that you have chosen, after lunch, go to the logistics department to get training resources and get started early."
“You must know that foundation building is not only about strengthening your physique, but also changing your physique to a certain extent, giving you a certain affinity for extraordinary energy.”
“Next, you only need to practice true martial arts and transfer energy and blood, and then you can absorb the extraordinary energy from the outside world and strengthen yourself.”
“Within a few days of completing foundation building, your body will be in a more sensitive and active period to extraordinary energy, and your cultivation efficiency will be better.”
Chen Chu was slightly startled. He didn't expect that there were so many words in it.
No wonder Xia Youhui and others could not see anyone for a long time after they completed the foundation building.
“Thank you for the reminder, teacher.” Chen Chu said gratefully.
Pang Long said calmly: "This is what I should do. If you have any questions about your cultivation from now on, you can ask me. I will stay here for a while every morning."
Out of the office, Chen Chu saw Xia Youhui, Luo Fei, Lin Xue and another man and woman chatting and talking about something.
Xia Youhui smiled and said, "Achu, you're out. Come on, let's go eat first and tell you something by the way."
Chen Chu glanced at Lin Xue and others, nodded slightly: "Okay."
…
The canteen in the training area is on the 30th floor. The taste is similar to that in the liberal arts area, but the portions of the food are indeed larger than those in the liberal arts area, and most of them are meat dishes.
In addition, there are many people.
There are nearly fifty classes in the first grade of high school. Currently, there are many students in these classes who have made breakthroughs. There are as many as ten or so in Class Three, and there are five or six in the smaller classes.
In this case, the total number of first-year students who have completed foundation building is more than 300.
A few people packed their meals and found a quieter corner to sit down.
After sitting down, Lin Xue looked at Chen Chu across from him with a smile on his face: "First of all, congratulations to Mr. Chen for successfully building the foundation in half a month." Chen Chu said modestly: "How can this result be worse than yours?" Far away."
Lin Xue shook her head slightly: "This is not a compliment. You can build a foundation in half a month. Your talent has surpassed that of most people in the school. This is also related to what we are looking for you."
“Please speak.”
Lin Xue did not beat around the bush: “For us, building the foundation is just the beginning, and there is still a long way to go, so we are ready to establish a community.”
“Society.”
“Yes, society.”
“This club has two purposes. One is to exchange our experiences in practicing Zhenwu, encourage each other, and prepare for the subsequent trials.”
“A trial, are we going out to fight?” Chen Chu was slightly startled.
"certainly."
Lin Xue said matter-of-factly: "Our practice of true martial arts is more than just a hobby. If we don't experience combat, how can we build a strong heart?"
“Mr. Chen, haven’t you noticed that there are very few second- and third-year martial arts students in the school? Even practitioners in society are relatively rare.”
“I really didn’t notice any of this.”
Having traveled through time for half a month, there were too many things going on, and Chen Chu really didn’t pay attention to these issues deliberately.
Although he occasionally had doubts, as he didn't seem to see any cultivators on the road, he just thought that those people were hiding deep in the city.
“After the second grade, all trainees must participate in trials. In previous years, the mission locations were usually virgin forest areas blocked by the military.”
“There have been more and more mutated creatures over the years, and they need to be cleaned up regularly. Therefore, trials are dangerous, and there are casualties every year.”
“Faced with this situation, many sophomores will choose to form a team to improve the task completion rate. This is why I plan to establish a club.”
“There are currently five club members, all of whom are classmates. If there are no surprises in the next year, we will form a team to participate in the trial next year.”
“Of course, if during this year, everyone finds out that they have different personalities and outlooks, etc., they can withdraw from the club at any time.”
“How about it, is Mr. Chen interested in joining?”
Facing Lin Xue’s invitation, Chen Chu pondered slightly
In fact, joining this club has no disadvantages for him at present, only benefits, such as sharing some information and some common sense.
Lin Xue and Xia Youhui know a lot of information that ordinary people don't know because of their family backgrounds.
Coupled with the fact that they are very talented, this situation will result in one step ahead and one step ahead, and the gap between ordinary people and them will become wider and wider.
Of course, if you are talented, you can naturally come from behind.
But the question is, how many ordinary people in this world have monster-level talents?
Furthermore, Chen Chu knew in his heart that Lin Xue's invitation to join the club was related to the fact that he had completed foundation building within half a month, and his talent was average, not too bad.
This is not to say that Lin Xue and others are realistic, but that dragons do not live with snakes.
Just for a while, Chen Chu made an analysis of the pros and cons of all aspects in his mind, and then politely said: "Can you let me think about it for two days?"
"...Okay." Lin Xue paused slightly, and heard that this was Chen Chu's polite refusal.
It’s just that she couldn’t figure out why this boy named Chen Chu refused to join this club that was obviously more beneficial to him.
Not only Lin Xue, but others were also a little surprised.
Of course they don’t know that Chen Chu has too many secrets. Compared with the benefits of joining the club, he still feels that it is better to practice quietly alone.
