Monsters everywhere, suppressing the current generation
Evening.
After dinner, at the edge of the square.
Watching the base gradually become lively, Li Meng sighed, “Damn, after coming here, I realize that mid-stage of the three heavens is nothing. I should have learned from Chen Chu to come a bit later.”
Liu Feng also seemed dazed, “Yeah, back in school, we were geniuses who broke through the three heavens in our first year, but here, mid-stage of the three heavens is everywhere.”
“Excitedly coming here not only ended up being a facade but also seriously hit us hard. Only those contribution points can bring me some comfort.”
Chen Chu crossed his arms, leaning on the railing, speechless, “Why do I feel like you two are singing in harmony? Is it really that easy to earn contribution points here?”
“Hehe!! It’s okay, it’s okay.”
When this topic came up, Bai Mu and the others began to chuckle, looking somewhat lewd.
Li Meng, brimming with excitement, said, “There are too many mutated beasts here. We’ve been here for less than a month, and on average, we've earned just over a hundred contribution points.”
“But it’s a bit tiring; we have to rush hundreds of kilometers every day, sometimes staying out for two or three days.”
“Especially when carrying the corpses of mutated beasts over mountains, it’s easy to encounter other mutated creatures attacking, so we have to be constantly on guard. It’s quite troublesome.”
Just after they finished speaking, Chen Chu exclaimed in surprise, “You’ve been here for so long, and averaged over a hundred contribution points per person?”
In Chen Chu’s opinion, there are mutated beasts everywhere here; casually killing a few third-level ones should yield hundreds of contribution points. With a bit more effort, wouldn’t the points just come pouring in?
Moreover, he earned over four hundred points in just half a month outside.
Of course, these guys couldn’t compare to him, but even so, their gains were much less than Chen Chu had expected.
“Not much, Chen Chu,” Liu Feng said contently. “In just over half a month, we earned a total of one hundred and twenty points, which is equivalent to the total I earned during the Keluoya Trial, not to mention what I got from Kailya.”
Yuan Chenghuang nodded in agreement, “Indeed, that’s pretty good.”
“It’s a pity we haven’t broken through to the four heavens; otherwise, we could delve deeper into the Cloud Mist Mountain Range to search for resource points.”
“Compared to hunting mutated creatures and carrying back their corpses, finding a resource point would at least guarantee five hundred contribution points. If we could develop it continuously, we’d also get subsequent shares.”
“Don’t worry, there will be bread,” Bai Mu said confidently. “With our current speed of earning contribution points, once we exchange a large amount for cultivation resources and combat training, we’ll soon break through to the four heavens.”
“Right, let’s work hard to break through to the four heavens soon; we can’t let Chen Chu be arrogant for too long.”
“Ahem! I’m not being arrogant,” Chen Chu coughed dryly, defending himself.
Liu Feng snorted, “Not being arrogant? You didn’t wait for your brothers before showing off.”
“Exactly.” Yuan Chenghuang chimed in, “That guy Xia Youhui said he had something to do and snuck back on his own, leaving the four of us to carry that fourth-level mutated beast's corpse, exhausting ourselves.”
Facing these accusations, Xia Youhui could only grin proudly.
Nearby, Luo Fei gazed at the undulating mountains in the distance, listening to her classmates' bragging, the corners of her mouth curving into a smile.
After chatting aimlessly for a while, Chen Chu looked at the large screen standing on one side of the square, which displayed the genius ranking and battle achievements, with updates every ten minutes.
The genius ranking for the three grades only included the top hundred, but currently, there were only a little over twenty in the first grade.
