Chapter 63 — The Mentality of the Strong, the Law of Survival
“That should be Cao Yong, then this must be Meng Jinhe …” His spiritual power spread out slightly, and the entire hall was in his sight. He could also see the expressions of the people behind him clearly.
Among them, there were two particularly hostile gazes that caught Lu Sheng’s attention. Of course, only a little attention.
He didn’t take it to heart at all.
These two were just Level 2 Martial Artists. If it were two weeks ago, Lu Sheng might have taken a second look at them.
But now?
What’s there to pay attention to when they can be killed with a casual pinch?
“As I kill more and more zombies in the dream world, with the zombies are that keep getting stronger and stronger. I seem to have become more and more violent …”
He was not like this in the past.
Just like in the assessment passageway, he was not satisfied with beating the puppets, so he beat up the examiner. If it were in the past, he would have thought about it and then guessed the identity of the other party. This unnecessary battle would not have happened.
Lu Sheng pondered for a moment.
He soon found the reason.
A change in mentality.
As his strength continued to grow, his original mentality was also quietly undergoing changes. He became stronger, so he was too lazy to consider and weight behind many things.
He found everything getting much simpler when he simply used strength to resolve things.
“Only the weak need to use wisdom to achieve their goals, while the strong need only their fists.”
It was like there was a stone in the middle of the road. People with weak strength would think about how to move the stone away or take a detour.
But the strong would not think so much. They would just kick it away.
This was the mentality of the strong.
Lu Sheng was surprised to find that, in a trance, he had grown to such a height. He was a completely different person from the muddle-headed and submissive young man.
As he was thinking, two people walked in from outside the hall. It was a man and a woman, both wearing dark blue military uniforms.
Lu Sheng noticed the epaulets on their shoulders, which were the epaulets only officers were qualified to wear. And to be qualified to obtain such a rank in a military region, one must be at least Level 5 Martial Artist.
He clearly remembered his previous life experience. Even if he had a lot of military achievements, he was still a lieutenant when he died. Because he was only a Level 4 Martial Artist at the time.
[Talking about the Photon Mind results from the Fireseed Repository in the previous chapters.]
This man and woman were both quite good-looking, and their bodies were filled with powerful auras. After the two of them entered, the noisy hall quickly quieted down.
“I’m the chief instructor of the Dongning Provincial Capital’s Prodigy Training Camp, Dong Qingxue. This is the deputy chief instructor, Major Qin Shaojun …”
The woman went straight to the point and introduced herself.
Lu Sheng had seen both of them once, when he had just finished his entrance examination.
The beautiful Dong Qingxue said coldly, “In the coming days, the two of us will be in charge of your training. Next, I’ll briefly explain the rules of this training camp …
“First, we will not interfere with your training and day-to-day life. You are all top martial arts geniuses in your respective cities, and I believe that everyone should have a set of cultivation methods that are most suitable for you, as well as your daily routines.
“There won’t be any classes in this training camp. You’ll have to rely on yourselves to cultivate.
“To put it bluntly, we won’t care even if you guys sleep in the dorm every day …”
Lu Sheng’s expression became a little strange hearing that. Although he knew it was impossible, he still felt that this sentence was directed at him.
The first rule caused an uproar among the students. Many people began discussing it vehemently.
“No classes? Then what are we here for? To waste our time?”
“Fuck! Might as well stay at home. At least you’ll have a tutor to guide you one-on-one …”
“How can this be?”
Dong Qingxue coldly interrupted everyone’s discussion.
“It’s not too late to leave now.”
The discussion stopped. Although there were many opinions, everyone had racked their brains to get here. How could they bear to leave?
“Then I’ll continue …”
Dong Qingxue continued, “Second, you’ll have to spend a corresponding amount of points for all your daily needs in the training camp. Every meal you eat, every dorm you stay in, the water you use for bathing, the toilet paper you use … Everything has to be paid for.
“However, this money will be replaced by points. To put it simply, in the training camp, you’ll need points for everything you need, and points can be exchanged for everything. Even …”
Dong Qingxue paused for a moment, then swept her cold gaze across everyone in the hall. She enunciated each word clearly, “If you don’t like someone in the training camp and fight with them in private, and accidentally kill them, you’ll have to pay back your points. You can also use points to pay for it.
“Of course, after you leave the training camp, we won’t be responsible if the person’s family comes looking for trouble with you.”
The youths were as silent as cicadas in winter. They were so shocked by Dong Qingxue’s words that they could not utter a single word.
Although they were geniuses and official martial artists …
However, when the cold word ‘kill’ was thrown in front of them, they could not help but feel afraid.
Lu Sheng’s eyes lit up bit by bit. A faint smile even appeared at the corner of his lips.
Interesting. This training camp is very interesting.
In this advanced concrete forest, such a simple and cruel set of laws of the jungle was set up. Lu Sheng felt as if he had been thrown into a survival game.
The show had just begun.
“Then how do we get our points?” Finally, someone asked.
“Good question.” Dong Qingxue said calmly, “There are many ways to get points. First, you can get the approval of me, Major Qin Shaojun, or any other instructor in the training camp. As long as we think you’ve done well enough in a certain aspect, we’ll give you a certain amount of points based on our mood.
“Second, you can pass the assessment. We’ll assess you from time to time. As long as you pass, you’ll get a lot of points.
“The entrance exam during the day is one of them. Four of you have passed the examination. The points have been given to your respective identity cards, which are your room cards. You can check them when you get back.
“Third, you can help the base with various internal work. To put it simply, you’ll be doing odd jobs. However, the points you’ll get through this method will be marginal at best. It’s far less than the previous two methods.”
After Dong Qingxue finished speaking, there was another round of heated discussion below.
“Finally, I’ll explain in detail what you can do with your points …”
Everyone pricked up their ears.
Through Dong Qingxue’s introduction, everyone learned that apart from being able to exchange for various daily necessities, like food, and resting in dorms, points could also be exchanged for guidance from the base instructors, including the strongest instructors, Dong Qingxue and Qin Shaojun.
They could also be exchanged to buy time in some special cultivation rooms in the base.
That was what Lu Sheng was most interested in. However, Dong Qingxue only briefly mentioned it in her introduction. He would have to slowly understand it himself.
Points could also be exchanged for various privileges. There was no need to mention the privilege to kill. It was too extreme and basically no one would use it.
Lu Sheng guessed that although Dong Qingxue had said that before, if he really killed someone in the base, he would still be dealt with the same way when he got out.
Also, points could even be exchanged for a guaranteed admission to Dongning University and the Eastern Military University.
That was rather exaggerated. It was equivalent to being able to enter a famous university without having to take the college entrance exam.
However, on second thought, it was useless.
Those who had the ability to obtain these points in the training camp could easily get into the province’s university through the college entrance examination.
After the introduction, Dong Qingxue did not waste any time. After announcing the end of her talk, she left with Qin Shaojun.
The remaining students began to discuss the few rules that Dong Qingxue had just mentioned.
Most of them were from the same city. Lu Sheng saw Yang Yuan and the others from Baihe City consciously moving closer to him. He ignored them and walked out of the hall.
