Chapter 27 Ranking
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Chu walked out of school carrying a shoulder bag.
However, he did not go home directly, but was going to the flower and bird market. The beetles that the boss ordered for him arrived.
Walking on the road, Chen Chu thought about the problem of Zhenwu compatibility that Luo Fei mentioned earlier.
According to Luo Fei, all exercises are a change in physical attributes, so the higher the level of the exercise, the greater the change.
In this case, if some people's physiques are innately suitable for this direction, then not only will their cultivation speed be faster, but the power of the exercises will also increase dramatically.
For example, a few years ago, there was a student at Nantian Wugao who was perfectly suited to the low-level skills he practiced. He broke through to the third level of heaven in the first grade and was invincible against the upperclassmen at the same level.
Even those senior students who practice high-level real martial arts are the same, and their combat power is astonishing.
However, the exercises that Luo Fei practices are rather special and not orthodox. Therefore, the fitness requirements of the exercises are the spiritual state, not the physical constitution.
“The iron beetles you want are here, and in order to avoid the trouble of dying on the road, my friend caught two more, so it’s like buying one and getting two free.”
In the flower, bird, fish and insect shop, Chen Chu picked up a black beetle from the box.
Different from other beetles that can fly, the exoskeletons on the back and even the whole body of the iron beetle have been fused into one through evolution in order to pursue defense.
Although it is only two centimeters long, according to scientific research data, this bug can withstand more than 30,000 times its own weight.
Confirming that there was no problem with the bugs, Chen Chu had a smile on his face: "Thank you very much, boss. I will come back to you next time if I want to buy something."
“Okay, you’re welcome to come back anytime.” The boss smiled broadly after receiving the money.
This kind of insect is very common in Beizhou, just like ants. It costs nothing at all, so I asked my friends there to send it by cross-border express delivery.
Just by making a phone call and receiving an express delivery, I can earn a few hundred dollars. Such an easy business makes the boss feel very good.
There were some wet sawdust in the box containing the iron beetles. There was no need to worry about them starving to death, so Chen Chu just put them in the drawer after returning home.
"Next, let's wait for the clone to evolve." As he said this, Chen Chu looked to the side, where the clone of the hexagonal salamander was lying quietly, looking more and more powerful.
…
On Monday, as soon as Chen Chu went out, he felt something was wrong in the atmosphere.
Patrol cars can be seen passing by on the streets from time to time, and law enforcement officers are on duty at some intersections. The cameras at those intersections and electric poles also flash from time to time.
“What happened?” Chen Chu frowned slightly.
In the cultural class classroom, Chen Chu came to his seat and sat down. Xia Youhui in front of him turned around and came over.
“Ah Chu, do you know that An Fuqing from Class 1 has gathered his true power and broken through to the second level of heaven?”
“…Awesome.” Chen Chu marveled.
It took two days to build the foundation, one week to reach the limit of the second heaven, and a few days later, he broke through the second heaven. The exaggerated breakthrough speed makes people unable to feel jealous.
There is no way, the gap is already so big that it makes people despair.
You must know that most of the freshmen in the whole grade have not yet established their foundation.
Chen Chu shook his head and put the news behind him. He took out the textbook from the drawer and prepared to review it. After all, there was a month-end exam on Friday.
No matter how he was ranked first in Lingshan No. 1 Middle School, he couldn't fail in all subjects when he first entered high school.
Moreover, no matter how talented others are, it has nothing to do with him. He just needs to practice honestly, but...
“Freshman rankings.”
Â'sa good rankingfor the freshmen who just started practicing. They're all weak, so how can they just watch a bunch of novices pecking each other?
Xia Youhui said excitedly: "It is said that the government has allocated a lot of resources to cultivate the new generation of practitioners, especially those with outstanding talents to grow faster." "This time it is not only the Nantian Wugao in our city, but also the Nanhua Wugao next door. All first-tier universities have a ranking list of freshmen.”
“Starting from the 1st of next month, the top 50 will be determined within the same day. Those on the list will receive an additional 5 contribution points every month.”
5 contribution points are equivalent to an additional subsidy of 5,000 yuan per person per month. It is indeed considered a vigorous cultivation. After all, there are so many people in one school.
Even Chen Chu was a little moved when he heard this.
He only received 3 points a month, which was not enough to exchange for a fraction of the normal price of Baxiang Essence and Blood.
If he could use another portion of Ba Xiang's essence and blood to practice, even if he couldn't break through the first level of the technique, he could still save a month of practice time.
Chen Chu raised his eyebrows: "No, starting from the 1st of next month, wouldn't those who just built the foundation have no chance?"
During this period, many freshmen who have been practicing hard for more than half a month have just established their foundations. Now they are competing in a few days, and many of them may not have reached the threshold of the first level.
“Do you feel it’s a little unfair?”
Xia Youhui patted Chen Chu on the shoulder and said with emotion: "Ah Chu, if this world was really fair, there would be no difference between talent and birth."
"Everyone is the same in everything. This is only fair, but do you think it's possible?" After saying this, Xia Youhui shrugged.
Chen Chu was a little surprised: "I didn't expect that Lao Xia Qi could say such philosophical words."
"Hey, that's right, I've always been so philosophical, you just didn't realize it." Xia Youhui was a little proud.
He is indeed right. There is no fairness in this world. It is just that human beings are social creatures that can think and have entered modern civilization.
So on the surface society seems to be relatively equal.
But it is only on the surface. No matter what era or society, people will always divide themselves into three, six or nine grades. This is an unchangeable fact.
After chatting with Chen Chu for a while, Xia Youhui went to practice hard.
He was not the only one. After learning that the school actually had a real freshman ranking, instead of the amateur rankings on the official website, all the students were very motivated.
Because being on the list brings not only resources but also fame.
After all, they are all teenagers. Who doesn’t want to show his holiness in front of others?
“Ranked in the top fifty?” Chen Chu thought thoughtfully.
According to the information that Xia Youhui found out, more than 1,900 new students have successfully built foundations after practicing hard for almost a month.
In the forty-eight classes, there are more than 130 ordinary 'geniuses' who can build a foundation within a week, and more than 200 intermediate qualifications who can build a foundation within half a month.
In other words, if Chen Chu wants to participate in the competition and enter the top fifty, he must defeat at least more than 80 "geniuses" who practice advanced techniques.
This does not include the more than two hundred classmates who have been building foundations for half a month. There may be "geniuses" among them who have accumulated a lot of experience.
“I wonder how strong those who have practiced advanced techniques are?” As he spoke, Chen Chu narrowed his eyes slightly.
Although he wanted to practice in a low-key manner and develop slowly.
But when opportunities and resources appear in front of you, you still have to fight for it. When the time comes, it should be okay to be among forty or fifty people.
After all, everyone will only remember the first one, and no one cares about who is second, let alone the one on the tail.
Moreover, if you don’t fight in the early stages of cultivation, when those geniuses obtain more resources, the gap in strength between the two sides will become wider and wider, and in the end you may not even be able to see their backs.
Of course, Chen Chu is just thinking about it at the moment.
Unless the second evolution of the avatar in two days makes his strength significantly breakthrough, there is no need to participate, because even if he participates, he will be at the bottom.
