After being beaten up yesterday, Zhang Tie still had the mood to take a comfortable hot bath in the staff bathroom of the fighting club before returning home. There were some bruises on his body, but thankfully, his face was fine. Therefore, Zhang Tie didn't need to worry about being discovered by his dad and mom.
After supper, after chatting with his dad, mom, and his future sister-in-law for a while, Zhang Tie washed his face and rinsed his mouth. Stealthily taking two sweet potatoes and a handful of soybeans from the kitchen, he returned to his small nest.
Naturally, Zhang Tie planned to reclaim the wasteland in the Castle of Black Iron. Beside the sprouted cornfields and potato fields, Zhang Tie silently buried two sweet potatoes in the soil and sowed a row of soybeans like how he had sowed corn.
Like how he had sowed potatoes, he had to separate the sweet potatoes into pits when there were more branches, just like how he had sowed potatoes. As for the soybeans, he had to plant them in the same way as how he had sowed corn. He had to poke a hole with a steel bar and bury it in the soil.
The aura value in the Castle of Black Iron continued to increase and had already broken through 13. Besides the corns sprouting one after another, on Wednesday, Zhang Tie found that the grass seeds given by Grandma Teresa that he had casually scattered on the ground had also sprouted. On the ground where Zhang Tie had scattered the grass seeds, a green tender sprout drilled out of the soil.
There was still a bit more than a day left before the first Leakless Fruit became ripe. On another twig of the small tree, another small silver fruit hung out. Zhang Tie stretched out his hand to check it and found that the Iron-Body Fruit had already reached a bit more than a quarter of its maturity. It seemed that after being beaten four or five more times, this fruit would also become ripe.
Leakless Fruit... Iron-Body Fruit... Hehehehe...
After completing the fixed cultivation, Zhang Tie muttered the two names and fell asleep...
On Thursday morning, when Zhang Tie's biological clock woke him up at a quarter past six, the moment he wanted to get off the bed, his face turned pale as fine sweat beads appeared on his forehead. That feeling could only be described in one word — pain! Pain all over his body! The places where he had been beaten yesterday, especially the two hands that he had used to defend and block, were so painful that they felt as if they had been broken. On one hand, this kind of piercing pain came from his body's natural reaction after being hit by an external force for a while; on the other hand, it seemed that he had exercised too much yesterday. After a night's rest, his muscles started to swell. When the two kinds of pain combined, Zhang Tie really suffered.
While gritting his teeth and inhaling the cold air, Zhang Tie slowly put on his clothes. At this moment, if he moved a bit too much, he would feel extremely painful.
At this moment, Zhang Tie finally understood that it was not that easy to endure the beating yesterday and that the Iron-Body Fruit was not to be so easy to eat.
From the time he got up to school, Zhang Tie spent twice as much time as usual on Thursday. His whole body was moving in slow motion. No matter how he raised his hands or feet, he would feel a burst of pain whenever he moved a bit too much.
When Zhang Tie arrived at the school, he saw the dignified one-eyed man standing at the gate of the school and knocking his palm with an iron rod, "Pa Pa Pa". "Brat, I heard that you did well yesterday. You didn't make me lose face!"
Before Zhang Tie greeted Captain Kerlin, Captain Kerlin had already praised him. Zhang Tie forced a smile, looking a bit bashful. At this moment, Zhang Tie didn't know whether he should be grateful or hate the One-eye.
Zhang Tie forced a smile, looking a bit bashful. At this moment, even Zhang Tie didn't know whether he should appreciate or hate this one-eyed man.
When he arrived at the classroom, he found that many horny students were discussing spiritedly. They were not talking about the lack of desks and chairs today, but about the fact that some horny students from the same class had been "ambushing" in the classroom next to theirs in order to find out who the "bastard" was. Every morning, they would come to clean the desks and chairs in the classroom. Unfortunately, those horny students didn't expect that they would come to the school before daybreak. Even after more than half of the students from the same class had arrived, they still didn't see the mysterious desk-wiper. Their plan to expose the "bastard" completely failed.
"F * ck, it seems that I have to keep a low profile when doing good deeds in the future." Zhang Tie thought to himself. His horny classmates were too curious, so this method of earning merit value points would not work anymore.
Perhaps because of his guilty conscience, after obtaining the Castle of Black Iron, Zhang Tie didn't really want to become the talk of the school and the class. It was too strange for a student who had always been average to suddenly be passionate about doing good deeds. Although it was hard for people to associate Zhang Tie's good deeds with merit value points, according to Zhang Tie's cautious attitude, it was always right for him to keep a low profile when he had something good.
The morning class was the same as usual. There was nothing worth mentioning. Perhaps because they thought that Zhang Tie and the other students would leave the school in two weeks, the teachers talked less and less about theory and more and more about experience. Sometimes, the students were sharing the teachers' life experiences and insights.
Next month, according to the usual practice of all the schools in Blackhot City, from June 1st to July 31st, all the graduating students in Blackhot City would have a two-month survival class. This two-month survival class was a great review of all the knowledge and abilities that the students had learned over the years. There were no examinations at school, because in this era, all the people who were not suitable for survival would be eliminated. Each year, there would be a certain casualty rate in the survival class of the graduating students in Blackhot City. Last year, five students were eliminated in the survival class of the Seventh National Male Middle School in Blackhot City, four died, and one was disabled. It was said that this was the most brutal year in the history of the Seventh National Male Middle School. Over 20 students were eliminated in the survival class. For all the horny graduating students, this one-month survival class was their coming-of-age ceremony in this era!
It was a coming-of-age ceremony that required blood, even lives, to welcome! It was a coming-of-age ceremony that allowed them to leave the protection of the high city walls of Blackhot City and face the most realistic side of this era.
After the two-month survival class, everyone's school days would come to an end. After that, it would be a three-month vacation. After the vacation, most of the students would start their puberty and would have a long period of military service. During the three months of vacation, which was before the official notice of military service was issued, a small number of talented and lucky people would have the opportunity to reach the sky in a single bound after receiving the recommendation from the school. They would be able to study at a higher level and directly become the era's elites cultivated by many powerful forces and organizations. The coordinates of many people's lives would be fixed there. The time spent in military service was equal to the time spent in compulsory education. One was a right, the other was a duty. Nobody had any objection. However, after eight years, when commoners finished their military service, they would find that they were standing on two completely different stages of life from those who had the opportunity to receive better education and those who had been their classmates.
After the four classes in the morning, the horny students of the graduating class swarmed into the canteen. Naturally, when everyone lined up to get their plates, Glaze's group, who were late every day, swaggered in. After driving away the unlucky guys who didn't dare to utter a word, they stood at the front of the line.
In the past few days, Zhang Tie had always asked himself what he would do if such an unlucky thing happened to him. He already had an answer, but every time he lined up, he would always choose to line up in the middle so as to avoid having to make that choice. For a 15-year-old teenager, it was not an easy choice to make.
When they were eating, Fatty Barley told Zhang Tie that next week, Zhang Tie would have another rite of passage for coming of age.
"From now on, all the brothers of the Hit-Plane Brotherhood will lose their virginity!" Hearing Barley's great declaration, the horny students of the Hit-Plane Brotherhood started to laugh obscenely at the table.
To be honest, although Zhang Tie was still fantasizing about his "beautiful life" and "vigorous love" with Goddess Daina yesterday, when Barley announced that he would have his "coming-of-age ceremony" next week, Zhang Tie's heart started to beat faster. He even had a vague desire. When that desire turned into an image in his mind, it finally turned into a small tent on Zhang Tie's pants. At that moment, Zhang Tie had to admit that he was also a member of the horny army at school, not much more advanced than the other horny students of the Hit-Plane Brotherhood. However, his love for Miss Daina was still sacred! Zhang Tie comforted himself.
In the second half of the meal, the horny students of the Hit-Plane Brotherhood ridiculed and attacked Zhang Tie's tent. Zhang Tie was completely immune to their attacks. After supper, the horny students went to the classroom to play cards, which was their entertainment at noon. Zhang Tie then found a place in the woods beside the canteen and sat down to practice "Mental Arithmetic by Abacus". According to the requirements of the book, the first step of "Mental Arithmetic by Abacus" required Zhang Tie to be able to visualize a three-speed abacus in a split second. Then, he would be able to use the abacus in his mind to get the result of any four-figure calculation within three digits.
Zhang Tie was still far away from the requirements of the first step of "Mental Arithmetic by Abacus". He could already compress the three-speed abacus to 15 seconds, but he still needed more than 4 seconds to get the result of the four-figure calculation within three digits. Thinking back to the words on the cover of the book — — Extracurricular Reading Material for Primary School Students, Zhang Tie couldn't help but feel ashamed. This seemed to be an ability that primary school students should be able to grasp, but after so many days of practice, he was still at this level. How shameful …
When Zhang Tie felt ashamed, it seemed that someone wanted him to feel even more ashamed. At this moment, a follower of Glaze appeared in front of Zhang Tie. When Zhang Tie was wondering why this guy was standing in front of him, that slightly gloomy guy threw a pile of dinner plates onto the grassland beside Zhang Tie's feet.
"Wash these dinner plates and hand them to the canteen!" After throwing away the dinner plates, that guy turned around and left without even glancing at Zhang Tie. It seemed that he had never thought that this guy, who was sitting against the tree, would refuse him.
Looking at the four messy dinner plates in front of him, Zhang Tie scratched his head and gloomily realized that in life, some difficult choices could not be avoided even if you wanted to …
