Chapter 37 - I Just Want to Make Money
Name: Ji Fu
Level: Martial Disciple, Stage 8 (88%)
Martial Skills: Nine Shadow Step, Perfection
Wind Splitting Leg, Perfection
Golden Cicada Robe reached Arcane (57%).
On the 7th of April, the weather was clear. Ji Fu did not go to school, but instead went to the barracks outside the military camp in the suburbs to gather.
“I'm just a little bit away from reaching the Martial Disciple Stage 9.”
“My progress in cultivating the Golden Cicada Robe is not bad, but my prize money is almost spent. It just so happens that I can use the opportunity to earn another sum of money.”
There were only a hundred students participating in the special training this time. Only thirty students from No.1 High School were participating.
After all, No.1 High School was the best high school in the city.
Ji Fu quickly saw Zuo Wenwen and Ms. Miao, who were beside her.
There were other students who did not belong to Class 5. Ji Fu only felt that they looked familiar, but he had never really interacted with them.
There were Meng Weiyu, Huang Junyan, four Martial Disciple Stage 8 students, and eleven Martial Disciple Stage 7 students in Class 1. Class 1 had taken up more than half of the school's quota.
Ji Fu did not know anyone else, but all the students here recognized him. The main reason was that he had performed too well in the mock exam and was widely promoted.
“Ji Fu, come here.” Zuo Wenwen warmly greeted Ji Fu.
After spending some time with Ji Fu, Zuo Wenwen was already very familiar with him. She no longer looked shy.
“Hello, Ms. Miao.” Ji Fu came to Zuo Wenwen's side and greeted her politely.
She was a Stage 9 Martial Artist, so of course he had to maintain a good relationship with her.
Ms. Miao was still wearing a black suit and a pair of sunglasses that covered half of her face. She only nodded coldly at Ji Fu.
Ji Fu didn't mind. He knew that although Ms. Miao looked cold on the outside, she was kind in her heart. She had never deducted his private tutoring fees during this period of time.
“Do you know why Ms. Miao came here?” Ji Fu asked in a low voice as he approached Zuo Wenwen.
Zuo Wenwen's face turned slightly red as she said embarrassedly, “Ms. Miao is worried about me, so she wants to follow me to the wilderness.”
So that's how it is.
Ji Fu understood. At the same time, he noticed that a few students had actually brought experts with them.
After all, they had to enter the wilderness and face real mutated beasts. It was understandable for rich families to send people to protect their children.
Furthermore, there seemed to be no restrictions on this situation in the special training camp.
For example, Meng Weiyu and Huang Junyan were protected by a Martial Artist.
“You're Ji Fu?”
At this moment, a male student with a buzz cut and wearing a black suit came to Ji Fu's side and asked.
“I'm Ji Fu.” Ji Fu looked at him curiously and realized that he was not a student of No.1 High School.
The male student's face was cold as he introduced himself, “I'm Soong Tan from No.3 High School Class 1.”
“My teacher has praised you, but I still want to compete with you again. Let's compete on who gets more Military Merits during this special training.” Soong Tan said seriously.
Ji Fu then remembered that Soong Tan should be the outstanding student from No.3 High School who obtained the third place in the mock exam. He was at Stage 9 of Martial Disciple.
However, Ji Fu was not interested in competing with him. What he cared about was how many Military Merits he could earn by hunting mutated beasts during the special training.
According to his understanding, hunting mutated beasts, collecting medicinal herbs and other tasks in the special training could be exchanged for Military Merits. Military Merits meant resources, and this was a great opportunity for him to earn money.
After all, after the previous two days of consumption, the rewards he got from the mock exam were almost used up.
He wanted to cultivate the Golden Cicada Robe to the Perfection, and it would cost at least two hundred thousand.
“I am not interested.” Ji Fu rejected Soong Tan's offer.
While these students were still competing with each other, he still had to worry about his livelihood and cultivation resources.
The poor need to shoulder the responsibility of living.
However, Soong Tan did not seem to have any intention of giving up. He seemed to know Ji Fu's family situation very well. He threw out a bait and said, “If you can defeat me again, all of my Military Merits will belong to you.”
If he had said that earlier, Ji Fu would have been a little excited.
When it came to money, Ji Fu immediately became interested and said, “Alright.”
“What if you lose?” Soong Tan nodded in satisfaction and asked.
Ji Fu did not think that he would lose, but he still said humbly, “What do you want me to do if I lose?”
“If you lose, you need to be a private coach for Meng Weiyu for one month and train her every day for an hour.” Soong Tan said his request without hesitation.
Ji Fu was stunned and couldn't help but look at Meng Weiyu, who was standing far away with her back to him.
He thought, “Oh my god. The school beauty of No.1 High School is indeed charismatic. Even the students from other schools are willing to work for her.”
However, Soong Tan was slightly more rational than Wu Zanfei. At least, he knew what Ji Fu needed the most right now.
“No problem.” Ji Fu agreed.
Soong Tan then left with satisfaction.
“Ji Fu, if you lose, do you really want to be her personal coach?” Zuo Wenwen, who had been eavesdropping the whole time, came over and asked unhappily.
Ji Fu smiled and said, “How could I lose? Don't worry. The reward you gave me is so high. I won't be a free private coach for others.”
Only then did Zuo Wenwen smile happily, but she felt that something was wrong.
The students gathered in small groups and discussed. They had been waiting in the camp until 10:30 in the morning. They saw that the special training instructors had arrived.
This time, the instructors were not teachers from the various high schools, but real martial artists from the military camp.
There were a total of seven instructors. Each of them was tall and mighty, and they all had an imposing aura.
Compared to the teachers in high school, these instructors had a fierce aura. They were obviously ruthless people who had experienced real battles.
Other than the seven instructors, there were also two other important figures. They were Senior Colonel Huang and Principal Tan Ning of No.3 High School.
With the arrival of these two big shots, the students in the campsite quickly quietened down and focused their attention on the two of them.
“Students, I am the teacher in charge of your training. You can call me Mr. Tan.”
The students naturally recognized the principal of No.3 High School, whose reputation was second only to Principal Wai. They all shouted, “Good morning, Principal Tan.”
Principal Tan smiled and gestured for the students to quiet down. Then, he said, “The students who participate in the special training are all geniuses who can achieve good results in the College Entrance Examination in Guanyun City.”
“The reason why we organized this special training is to let you all experience real battles in the wilderness. Compared to the mock exam, this special training is even closer to the College Entrance Examination.”
“The seven instructors here are all from the military camp, and they are all experts who have fought with mutated beasts.”
“At the same time, every instructor has cultivated at least one of the school's martial arts to the Perfection.”
“Therefore, during the special training, they will give you the best guidance.”
“As for the things you need to pay attention to after entering the wilderness, Senior Colonel Huang will explain it to you.”
