The information flashed.
The faint golden words turned into specks of starlight and turned back into magnificent flames.
She ignored Meng Chao.
Meng Chao fiddled around for a long time, but he did not manage to bring up the system's instructions or any instructions for newbies.
Ring ring ring ring ring.
"Class dismissed!"
Yan Dongxing cast Meng Chao an expressionless glance. He frowned slightly, but did not say anything. He put away his saber and monster specimen, turned around, and left the classroom.
It was only then that the students remembered that Meng Chao was still being punished to stand.
When they looked back, their mouths were wide open. They couldn't believe their eyes.
Did Meng Chao really manage to persevere?
If the stance was right, it would be beneficial to the refinement of one's essence, qi, and spirit.
At that moment, Meng Chao was like a rusty sword that had been polished again. He released a sharp presence once more.
It was as if they were looking at him before he was injured in his second year of high school.
In the face of the students' surprised gazes and their whispers, Meng Chao remained calm.
The corners of his eyes and mouth twitched slightly.
He didn't know why, but he suddenly felt very hungry, so hungry that his stomach felt like it was going to burn through. He couldn't move even half a step, and his vision darkened.
"Oh no, don't tell me that I have to replenish the energy consumed by Kindling to repair my body and awaken my skills?"
Just as he was about to faint, a large white bear dashed towards him.
"Meng Chao, you actually trained Dragon Hibernation Stance so well behind my back?!"
The big, white bear was a fat man that weighed more than one hundred kilograms.
His aggrieved expression and resentful voice caused goosebumps to rise all over his body.
Meng Chao shuddered. Even if he was reduced to ashes, he would not forget that voice. If it was not Chu Feixiong, his best friend from high school, who else could it be?
"Quick, Feixiong, I forgot to bring money today. Treat me to the canteen. Tomorrow and the day after, I'll treat you twice in a row."
"No way. You borrowed me once and returned me with two? My appetite is three times that of yours. Meng Chao, when did you become so generous? There must be a trap."
"What trap could there be? Do you think I would lie to you? We're brothers from different mothers! "
"That's true. Hehe, the whole class heard it. I don't think you would dare to renege on your debt. Let's go to the snack bar. It's my treat today!"
Five minutes later.
At the corner of the campus, in a small shop.
The large, white bear cried like a child who weighed more than one hundred pounds.
"Meng Chao, please be a human! Even if you're an animal, you can't eat two weeks' worth of my living expenses in one go! I-I'll fight you to the death!"
He pounced on Meng Chao.
"Stop fooling around."
Meng Chao peeled off the last chocolate strip and casually swung his arm to activate Reckless Bull Technique.
The hundred-pound white bear was sent flying.
The two of them stared at each other in bewilderment.
"Just now …" Chu Feixiong was confused.
"It's an illusion."
Meng Chao's expression did not change. He swallowed the chocolate and looked at the shelf with a longing for more. "The instant noodles today look pretty fresh. They look, smell, and taste pretty good."
"Scram! I don't have a single cent left. Hurry up, class is about to start!" The large, white bear fled.
Meng Chao was just about to chase after him when he saw a gray-haired odd-job worker beside the trash can. He had accidentally spilled a large bag of trash on the ground.
"Ma 'am, I'll help you." Meng Chao picked up the trash while he was at it.
The corner of his eye twitched, and a message popped up.
[Your act of helping others has promoted social harmony and righteousness in Dragon City. Increased contribution points by 0.001.]
[You have protected the environment and promoted the sustainable development of Dragon City. Increased contribution points by 0.001.]
[To prevent the message from being too long, contribution points below 1 will no longer be displayed. But each contribution you make will make Dragon City stronger and promote the flames of civilization to spread and sublimate. Please continue working hard.]
The message disappeared in a flash, and Meng Chao was stunned for a long time.
…
At the stairwell of the teaching building.
Meng Chao leaned against the handrail and tilted his head forty-five degrees upward. He looked like he was deep in thought.
With a profound look, he watched the girls in short skirts walk up the stairs while chatting and laughing with each other.
The girls' calves were round, and when they were wrapped in white cotton socks that reached their knees, they shivered.
"Do you want to die?"
Chu Feixiong tugged at him from behind. "If you really want to look, just pretend that nothing happened and sneak a few glances at them from the corner of your eyes. You can't just stare at them like that. You're such a hooligan!"
"Feixiong, you don't understand."
Meng Chao's eyes were shrouded in an ancient air. He sighed and said, "It's only at this moment that I understand how beautiful the life I'm used to is. It's worth it for us to protect it with everything we have."
"Meng Chao, I really admire you. You're always so shameless and refined."
Chu Feixiong dragged Meng Chao to the side. "Stop looking. If you want to look, I can borrow the latest learning materials you downloaded. Let's talk about what happened just now. Did you really kill Demon Yan in your dream and even destroy Dragon City? What about me? Did I become a general and fight until the very last moment? "
The big, white bear had a dream since he was young. He wanted to become a mighty general and lead Dragon City's steel army to sweep through all the Other World.
Of course, this was also the dream of every teenager in Dragon City.
"What do you mean I destroyed Dragon City? I only saw a few scattered scenes in my dream. As for you …"
Meng Chao stared at his best friend's face and searched through the depths of his mind.
The memories of his previous life were like butterflies dancing in a storm. They were mottled and elusive.
His hangover came again, and he could not capture the details clearly.
Just when he wanted to give up, a bolt of lightning suddenly lit up his mind.
It was accompanied by a great headache. He saw it!
Meng Chao saw huge monsters he had never seen before in the depths of the clouds where lightning flashed and thunder roared. They were like slowly moving hills that charged at Dragon City.
He saw countless soldiers and citizens charging forward like a tidal wave. Then, like a tidal wave crashing into a huge rock, they collapsed, retreated, and were crushed.
He also saw himself holding a chrysanthemum in a huge field. Cries rose and fell around him.
There were two screens in front of him. One of them was the list of the soldiers who died in battle, and the other was the list of the citizens who died in the disaster. There were thousands of tiny words on them.
Meng Chao saw that when he searched for Chu Feixiong's name, a picture popped up on the screen. The big, white bear was dressed in the standard military uniform of a normal soldier, and he was smiling brilliantly in the black and white portrait.
"Bro, don't worry. I've already cut and pasted all your learning materials into my computer. I've also deleted all your internet surfing and downloading records for you. Rest in peace!"
He heard himself saying with a sobbing tone, "My parents have also gone down. When you see them, help me tell them that I'll definitely take good care of my sister so that they won't have to worry …"
Meng Chao snapped out of his nightmare.
He covered his chest and slowly sat down on the stairs. He was drenched in cold sweat.
Even when the girls ran past him while fooling around with each other, they could not divert his gaze.
Chu Feixiong was shocked. "What's wrong? Why are you so flustered?"
Meng Chao wanted to say something, but he hesitated.
What could he say?
That his best friend did not manage to get into military school or become a general in his nightmare and was just a soldier at the frontlines?
That the Monster War was about to escalate and that bigger, more numerous, and even more brutal monsters would appear in an endless stream?
That Dragon City would suffer major losses in this battle and countless soldiers and citizens would die, including Chu Feixiong. That countless powerful fighters would die, and that they would be destroyed before they even walked out of the newbie village?
In fact, even his parents …
Meng Chao did not dare to continue thinking about it.
He was angry because of his fear, and because of his anger, he could not accept this. He clenched his fists with a savage expression.
"Are you scared by the nightmare?"
Chu Feixiong slapped his shoulder and grinned. "Don't worry. Nightmares and reality are the opposite of each other. Even if Dragon City really runs into danger, we won't have to be afraid if we work together. I'm going to be a general!"
"… Yes!"
Meng Chao snapped out of his daze and swung his fist. "This isn't the future. It's just a damn nightmare. If I want to change everything, I'll have to start my national college examination. This time, you'll get into military school, and I'll definitely get into college."
It was said that on Earth, due to the expansion of university enrollment and other factors, the number of undergraduate students increased year by year.
But after Dragon City transmigrated, it faced a lack of resources and all sorts of dangers.
At the moment of life and death, all citizens had to fulfill their duties. Teenagers also had to try their best to reduce their education time so that they could start working and fighting as soon as possible.
An ordinary citizen's dream was to be admitted to a two-year college, undergo vocational training, and find a good job in the future.
As for undergraduate courses, they only nurtured Transcendents.
Regardless of whether it was the present or the future, superhumans were the pillars of support for Dragon City when it came to conquering the Other World.
He was also respected by the citizens and had a high status.
Regardless of whether they were in politics, the military, the big bosses, or the superstars that everyone paid attention to, most of them were superhumans.
If he wanted to shatter the scenes he saw in his nightmares, he had to become a superhuman!
"Are you really going to take the University Entrance Examination? You're not joking, right?" Chu Feixiong became serious.
He knew that Meng Chao was badly injured last year.
He also knew that there was a reason why his good friend had let go of himself.
But now, Meng Chao saw the light that had been extinguished for an entire year reignite in the white bear's eyes.
"I'm not joking. I have to get into university."
Meng Chao paused for a moment and could not help but laugh. "I was really an idiot over the past year, wasn't I?"
"That's right, I'm a big idiot."
Chu Feixiong extended his fist at Meng Chao. "But if you've really made up your mind and want to use the last fifty days to get into university, I'll definitely help you."
Meng Chao sucked in a deep breath and extended his fist to bump it against Chu Feixiong's.
"I'll go to military school and become a general!"
"I'll get into university and become a superhuman!"
The two brothers strode back to the classroom.
The next period was a language class.
The students cheered.
"This is great! It's finally time for the language class!"
"Hurry up! I want to memorize Ode of Mulan and Moonlight on Lotus Pond! I want to analyze the background and meaning behind the creation of a Madman's Diary! I can't wait!"
"Language teacher? Where did our dear language teacher go?"
The students craned their necks in anticipation.
Unfortunately, before the language teacher came, Zuo Haoran, the class rep, showed up with a cold face.
"Mr. Huang is sick today."
Zuo Haoran stood at the podium and said, "We'll change this class to self-study. Everyone, form up and follow me to the cultivation room."
"No way!"
"This again?!"
"I want Mr. Huang! Give me back my language class!"
The nightmarish news that they expected stirred up a wave of wails.
Dragon City was a lone army in the Other World, and they implemented a ruthless education system.
From kindergarten to university, most of the physical education classes, cultivation classes, and fighting classes were filled with fighting.
The mathematics classes, which involved calculating bullet trajectories and saber trajectories, the biology classes, which involved researching monster structures, and the physics and chemistry classes, which involved modifying crystals and the minerals of the Other World, all took up a lot of weight.
Time was limited, so the language classes could not directly increase their fighting strength, so they could only reduce the number of classes.
Up to this day, the high school students only had two language classes a week.
The two language classes had to make way for the main classes during the third year of high school.
Hence, the language teacher could only get sick and ask for leave every few days. He gave his class time to the physical education teacher or the students to self-study.
The rarer something was, the greater its value. The high school students were so pressured by the heavy training that they could barely breathe, so they loved language classes a lot.
It was said that in their home planet, Earth, people of the same age could attend around twenty language classes every week. They could memorize hundreds of ancient poems, do a few language tests every day, and write two or three thousand word essays every day. Physical education classes, on the other hand, were dispensable.
