Chapter 122: Unyielding!

  The fourth update...

  "What, you're not telling me that you've actually forgotten about this matter?" Zhu Tong said discontentedly as he sat back down: "So, I suppose you haven't decided how to distribute the reward either? Hmph, with you people like this, are you really a special class? Just now was also a big commotion, making it seem like a vegetable market. Where is the demeanor that a special class should have? Honestly, I'm really suspicious of how you all became a special class. Or perhaps, the person who came up with the method to deal with the Shinigami was used and then kicked aside?"

  Yin Kuang said faintly, "Not at all! It's right in front of you. Zhu classmate, if you're here to discuss something, our 1237 class welcomes you with open arms. But if you're here to show off, please leave, we don't welcome you. Who are you putting on that high-and-mighty attitude for?"

  Zhu Tong's eyebrows furrowed tightly. But the boy standing behind Zhu Tong said, "Hmph! You're just the lowest-ranked class in the special class, and you still think you're something? Big Sister came to find you because she looked down on you, and you actually got arrogant?"

  "Hey, it seems like you're only second place? The first-place person hasn't even spoken up, and yet you're making a fuss. Bai Jue's words were quite sharp, not only refuting Zhu Tong but also pulling in Tan Shengge, who seemed to want to continue watching the commotion. Tan Shengge helplessly said: "I think everyone should calm down first. Zhu classmate, we're all in the special class, so let's not compare who's first or second. After all, we'll be facing 34 ordinary classes together in the future. If our special class is in disarray internally, I'm afraid others will laugh at us. Moreover, it will also make the senior students unhappy, don't you think?"

  Zhu Tong glanced at Tan Shengge, silently. Apparently, she still gave face to Tan Shengge, the class leader of Class 1207. However, it was clear that she didn't seem to care about Class 1237 at all. It's unknown what reason made her so disdainful and even a bit disgusted with Class 1237.

  Regarding Tan Shengge's words, Yin Kuang and others also agreed. After all, if the other party is not too excessive, there is no need to make the relationship too awkward. Moreover, Yin Kuang and Li Xiangru considered a deeper level. On the surface, they, along with Zhu Tong, were on the side of the "Student Union". If things got too awkward, it would be heard by the seniors, which would have serious consequences.

  Tan Shengge smiled and said, "So, shall we continue?" After finishing speaking, he continued to say, "Regarding the standard for topping up, each class must pay at least 3 points of F-level assessment, and each person must pay at least 200 points of academic credits. Then, one-third of the academic credits paid by each class must be allocated to the sophomores." Li Xuanmu nodded and said, "Indeed, that's how it is. So, what's the problem?" Tan Shengge said, "The problem is, how are we going to collect these rewards? It's obvious they won't willingly hand them over. Although we're a top class, we don't have that much face yet. But those academic credits must be collected; otherwise, we'll have to hand over the rewards we worked hard for to the sophomores. Unfortunately, I won't do that."

  "Only an idiot would do that." Zhu Tong said coldly with a smile, his eyes darting towards Yin Kuang and the others. "You!" Bai Jue was about to lose his temper again, but was stopped by Yin Kuang, and could only curl his lip in annoyance, "What kind of nonsense is this?"

  "What about you guys? What do you think?" Tan Shengge looked at Li Xiangmu and others, "I think, no need for me to say more, everyone knows in their hearts, right?" Li Xiangmu casually pulled out a cigarette, lit it with a "click", and said "Yin Kuang?" Yin Kuang muttered to himself, "Throwing the ball to me again." He shook his head helplessly, smiled bitterly, and said, "At least it's better than being exploited by others?"

  Tan Shengge said: "So, what means should be used? Hard or soft? This is what we need to discuss. It's not a good thing. Although our special class seems to be in the limelight and doesn't have to become 'meat pigs', but actually? Isn't it still a tool in the hands of the seniors? We have to help them get" Tan Shengge couldn't help but feel helpless, "However, the only fortunate thing is that we can also get some benefits. Hand over one-third and leave two-thirds, which is enough for our class to distribute." At this time, Zhu Tong said: "Hehe, I think you are also thinking of such a calculation? It's a good calculation. With only 12 people in the class, the total amount of rewards collected is unchanged, that is, each person should be able to get a lot of rewards? Am I right? What a great calculation!"

  As for Zhu Tong's bias, Yin Kuang and others are too lazy to explain it, let her think whatever she wants. However, Tan Shengge on the other side seems to be smiling ambiguously. Is he thinking the same way as Zhu Tong? Whatever. Walk your own path, either let others talk or make them have no way out. What can you achieve by being considerate of this and that?!

  Yin Kuang said faintly: "Speak up, what are you planning to do?"

  "Of course, we'll have to take drastic measures." Zhu Tong said: "Do you think that relying on just talking will get us the full reward from them? Hmph! If I were to say it, we should just increase the amount of rewards. After all, the seniors also allow us to add some. Not giving? Hmph! Unless they think that learning is more important than their own lives. Although the principal prohibits us from killing in class, and the seniors prohibit us from killing on campus, but if we want to kill them, there are many ways to do it."

  Tan Shengge shook his head and said, "I agree with taking tough measures. But increasing the amount of payment is not a good idea. It's not difficult to analyze from the senior's conversation that excessive reward collection will weaken the overall strength, which is not wise. Moreover, if you ask your seniors, they will know that even if you accumulate many learning points during the first year, their effect is actually not great. Many enhancements, props, and level assessments are not enough with just learning points. Comprehensive assessment is also necessary to exchange."

  "What's comprehensive assessment?" Yin Kuang and others were puzzled.

  "Didn't your senior tell you?" Tan Shengge was slightly curious, then explained: "Maybe your senior is too busy and forgot for the time being. So I'll simply say that comprehensive assessment is actually a kind of 'qualification'. The higher the comprehensive assessment, the more powerful the enhancement you can exchange, and the stronger the items you can exchange. Therefore, even if you have a lot of learning points, if you don't have enough comprehensive assessment, you won't be able to exchange for enhancements. And comprehensive assessment cannot be used for trading."

  Yin's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "If that's the case, why do you still want to take away our academic points rewards?" Tan Shengge said: "It's better than nothing. Moreover, we can gather the academic points in the hands of those who have high 'comprehensive assessment' scores, and let them exchange for items, props, skills, etc. However, because we are freshmen, no matter how high our comprehensive assessment scores are, they won't be very useful to us. Hmm, I've digressed a bit. So, do you two also use strong-arm tactics?" As he spoke, Tan Shengge looked at Li Xue and Yin Kuang. He was unclear about who had the final say between these two people, or perhaps both of them had decision-making power? This class of 12 people seemed to have a very complicated composition.

  "It's not like it takes a genius to figure out, if you don't put up a strong front, who will take you seriously?" Yin Kuang let out a sigh and said with an inexplicable smile: "I'll say it again, bullying others is always better than being bullied. I dare not imagine what the scene would be like if I were a member of an ordinary class, being bullied by the special class. Li Shuangmu, I think you and I share the same thoughts on this?" It's unclear whether he was laughing at himself or someone else. But then again, what does it matter?

  Li Feng said, "So, when do you plan to take action? I think if the three of us work together, it'll be more effective. Bullying others, it's been a long time since we've done something like this..."

  "Tomorrow afternoon, after class?" Tan Sheng Ge asked.

  "No opinion." Zhu Tong stood up and said, "Finished talking? Ah, right, Tan Shengge, it seems that Class 1204 is your dish? Do you want to swap Class 1204 with Class 1237? Hehe, class reunion, I think it would be very interesting." After finishing speaking, Zhu Tong smiled lightly and left. The boy who followed behind Zhu Tong's back gave a cold smile and followed him out.

  "What's wrong with this woman, has she eaten gunpowder or something?" As soon as Zhu Tong left, Bai Jing said angrily: "Did we provoke her? It's really infuriating, this kind of woman should be stripped naked and hung up to be beaten to death, she deserves it! What a thing!"

  Yin Kuangdao said, "Alright, alright, don't be so angry. What's the point of arguing with her? Sorry, Tan brother, I've made a scene." Tan Shengge smiled and stood up, saying, "The matter has been settled, let's not discuss it further. Goodbye."

  "Goodbye."

  ……

  "How's that, Beida, have you figured it out?"

  In the corridor, Tan Shengge and the boy who was standing behind him earlier walked side by side. The boy had a refreshing short hair, his hands in his pockets, wearing a pair of reddish glasses on the bridge of his nose, with earphones plugged into his ears, faintly playing music, obviously listening to songs. On his ordinary face, there was an exceptionally calm temperament. Upon hearing Tan Shengge's words, the boy called "Bei Dao" didn't take off his earphones and said: "A strange class, a strange combination. The relationship between Yin Kuang and Li Shuangmu is like friends but not friends, like enemies but not enemies, waiting to be further observed. However, it seems that others are led by these two people. This is a loose class, unlike our class and 1236 class, which only has one voice. Li Shuangmu is unfathomable. Yin Kuang is also impenetrable... But if he really is the person who came up with the crazy idea of 'Designing Death God', I'm interested in competing with him."

  "Haha, it's rare for you to have other interests besides listening to 'High Mountain and Flowing Water'."

  "I'll say it again, listening to 'High Mountain Flowing Water' isn't my interest... forget it, you won't understand even if I said it."

  "If you don't say it, how would I know I don't understand?"

  "Because even if I told you, you wouldn't understand."

  "Alright, I surrender."

  They gradually moved further and further away until they disappeared around the corner.

  ……

  "Oh? The heart of a king... Purple Dragon Soul strengthened. Heh heh, it's really... interesting."

  Here, I don't know where it is. Nor do I know when it is. Around me, however, are the endless vistas of the universe. Stars twinkle, nebulae shimmer, seemingly without end.

  A dark silhouette floating in mid-air let out a soft sigh after listening to the report of a person kneeling on the ground below.

  "Master Hou... Don't you find it surprising?"

  "Surprised? No. This is to be expected. Without some special place, how can one qualify for this university? Besides, Wang Ning, you also have a special place. It's just that, temporarily, you haven't discovered it yet. I'm looking forward to your performance."

  Wang Ning did not speak.

  "Master Hou" continued in a gentle and calm tone: "Long Ming, if I'm not mistaken, you've also strengthened your Purple Dragon Soul, haven't you? Hehe, how is it? Has that 'Dragon Soul' acknowledged you?"

  "...can barely use 40% of its power now." A faint voice sounded from the darkness.

  "Oh, then you'd better work hard. Don't let the younger generation catch up with you... However," Lord Hou's tone suddenly changed: "Long Ming, if you want to move against him, I won't agree. At least, for now, I don't agree."

  “……”

  "I still owe Congming a favor... This Yin Kuang, you can't move for the time being, it's also considered as returning his favor."

  It seems that some things are not secrets after all. Or perhaps, for people in this small circle, there really aren't any secrets to begin with.

  "Master Hou, aren't you worried that Gongming will pass the 'great calamity'? At that time, your position..." The voice in the dark suddenly choked, "Mas... Master Hou...", as if his neck was being tightly pinched.

  "He is a worthy and formidable opponent... Moreover, without Chongming, who would take care of 'her', and who else... would be qualified to take care of 'her'? And those people have been getting more and more aggressive lately, if we lose one Chongming, they will only become even more unscrupulous. Besides, do you think that just because Chongming has survived the 'great calamity', I would be inferior to him? Hehe. There are some things that I turn a blind eye to, but there are some things that I hope you will consider carefully before doing." The voice of Hou Ye was still as calm as water, only when mentioning "her", there would be a slight tremble, and the surrounding cosmic scenery would also present a slight tremble.

  "Yes, Lord Hou...Lord Hou..."

  "You go down. Wang Ning, you stay, there are some things I need to entrust to you."

  "Yes!"

  Two voices echoed simultaneously. One was "Long Ming" in the dark, and the other was "Wang Ning".
