Lu Shu couldn’t help but feel rather emotional. Having an established background was indeed different. In order to maximize training opportunities, children from established families were able to go wherever remains would surface.
“Previously, everyone didn’t react fast enough,” Jiang Shuyi explained, “During the incident at Mt Beimang, no one else came to compete for the magical energy. Many people didn’t have accurate information and thought that the rise in magical energy around the remains was similar to that of a magical land. In fact, the remains that appeared in the northwest was too small and didn’t emit much magical energy. However, it has been different ever since the Mt Beimang remains.”
Lu Shu was rather puzzled, “So you’re saying… there will be other people coming to the remains?”
“Most of them would definitely try. The first-tier team would be those serving under the heavenly network, such as my brother. The second-tier team would be us, Daoyuan students,” Jiang Shuyi said, “The world’s magical energy is on the rise. When we first entered the daoyuan cla.s.s, having a slight difference in apt.i.tude would require a few more months to break through to the Cla.s.s E mysterious senses chapter. But it’s different now, the time taken has been reduced by a quarter”
“The rejuvenation of the world’s magical energy is a long process and we have reasons to believe that the peak of the era has yet to arrive. And since remains are caused by magical energy, some felt that with the process of rejuvenation, the subsequent remains would only get larger. Remains are a small world on its own and as of now, all kinds of unusual things can be found inside. Perhaps one day remains bigger than earth would surface.”
Lu Shu frowned, bigger than earth? This was something he never thought of. Having been to only one remains, he was still inexperienced but he was skeptical about whether such a huge remains was possible. Wouldn’t it take forever to find the relic?!
They were having this conversation at a distance from w.a.n.g Shuli who was also checking them out. She then turned to her friend, “Is that really a guy? This is so demoralizing. Do you think Little Shu swing that way? Look, there’s something unusual about the way Jiang Shuyi looks at Little Shu.”
“What’s unusual? I don’t feel anything,” another girl said.
“This is my woman’s sixth sense!” w.a.n.g Shuli replied firmly.
“Who here isn’t a woman?” the girl wasn’t pleased…
w.a.n.g Shuli was still pondering, “This chap was escorted here by two military men which means his background must be something special. What do you think Little Shu does?”
“Why are you so concerned about Lu Shu?”
w.a.n.g Shuli glanced at her, “Nothing, don’t jump to conclusions.”
“Why jump to conclusions…”
“…”
On the other hand, Jiang Shuyi suddenly asked, “Lu Shu, you haven’t told me why you’re here.”
“Oh, I’m bringing Xiaoyu on a holiday and happened to b.u.mp into this,” Lu Shu replied, “We’ve been stuck here for a day and if not for you, I wouldn’t have known what is going on.”
Jiang Shuyi gave him a puzzled look, “Why didn’t you go in? You can even eat a hot piping meal inside.”
“I can go in?!” Lu Shu was stunned.
“You’re now a member of the heavenly network and even of a lieutenant rank. Training beside the remains is definitely allowed and there is a lack of manpower here at Qingzhou. A member with contributions is allowed to enter even when on holiday…” Jiang Shuyi explained.
Lu Shu was stunned. After thinking up plans on how to get in for the whole day, it was actually this simple?
But what Jiang Shuyi said was interested. Those with contributions could enter while the rest couldn’t?
The heavenly network must be rather disappointed with the daoyuan students after the Mt Beimang remains. Their expectations for combat abilities had also gone up.
Jiang Shuyi knew what was on Lu Shu mind and added, “In fact, everyone’s objective here isn’t just about the magical energy. Although the progress of training would slow down significantly after reaching Cla.s.s D, the problem was the training method.”
“The current situation is that among the 1.3 billion people in the country, there are only 10 Cla.s.s A apt.i.tudes. This is even rarer than giant pandas. All established families are trying to nurture pract.i.tioners and most of them are of Cla.s.s B apt.i.tude which cannot be increased.”
“All Cla.s.s C training methods must be imparted in the capital by Nie Ting personally. Nie Ting and s.h.i.+ Xuejin are very strict about contributions and wouldn’t settle for less. Even those from established families do not have it easier. This is also why everyone has to fight to contribute something and the remains would be the ideal place to do so!”
Lu Shu was thinking about what Jiang Shuyi said and there were many hidden messages.
Firstly, there were too little Cla.s.s A apt.i.tudes with only 10 in the whole country. This also explained why the heavenly network would be more generous about imparting training methods to them.
Secondly, most of the students from established families only had Cla.s.s B apt.i.tudes and Cla.s.s A apt.i.tudes were considered out of the world talents. As of now, there were no effective methods of increasing apt.i.tude and so the effects of the refresher fruits must be very valuable!
Thirdly, Cla.s.s C and above training methods must be imparted in the capital by Nie Ting personally. This also meant that the training methods invented by s.h.i.+ Xuejin were only made know to Nie Ting!
Fourthly, there would be more and more students from established families stepping into the remains to earn credits for promotion. Normal people thought of these students as arrogant and undeserving but the truth was that most of these people were more hardworking…
While the normal daoyuan students were still fearing for their safety, students from established families had already taken the initiative to make contributions.
Lu Shu didn’t mind such people as the compet.i.tion between them didn’t concern him.
But… speaking of which, if so many people needed to make contributions, this also meant more opportunities for Lu Shu to earn money!
It would be perfect if he could do business with these people. Entering the remains meant that he could only exchange item for item and these people must have valuable items on them…
It’s basically a better transaction!
Previously, the value Lu Shu got from exchanging all those spears was pathetic and this was mainly because everyone didn’t have many valuables with them. But it was still better than handing it over to the heavenly network.
