The quota in Chapter 6, Section 3
30 minutes ago, outside the underground contaminated area.
Enforcement booth.
Two law enforcement officers, a man and a woman, stood in the pavilion. From the moment Jiang Feng rushed out of the contaminated area to the moment he sat down to rest by the roadside and then left, their eyes never left him.
"Judging from his appearance, he should still be a high school student, right?"
The law enforcement officer who spoke was named Chu Gonghua. He had a delicate and handsome face, and his wavy bangs were parted to the sides and fell diagonally.
After Jiang Feng left, he took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, took a puff, and then spoke with great interest.
Standing to the side was Liu Sujun, a female law enforcement officer whose temperament was completely opposite to his. She stood straight, with sharp and distinct features, without any excessive femininity. Upon hearing this, she nodded and hummed in agreement.
"Jiang Feng. If I remember correctly, that's his name. He used to work at Huang Yu's slaughterhouse. I looked at his file after Huang Yu died. Judging from his performance today, he should have already become a martial artist."
Liu Sujun glanced at the swirling smoke in the air, frowned, walked to the window, opened it a crack, and continued speaking.
"So what's he doing here?"
Chu Gonghua took a quick drag of his cigarette and stubbed it out. "It can't be for avenging Huang Yu, can it?"
Liu Sujun was silent for a moment, then said, "It shouldn't be, but it might be related to this."
As her partner of over ten years, Chu Gonghua understood what she meant. "You mean, Huang Yu's death spurred him, stirring up something within him... heh, a sense of justice?"
"Maybe." Liu Sujun looked out the window, her tone softening. "After all, he's only just turned 18. High school students at that age are always full of enthusiasm and easily moved."
Chu Gonghua smiled noncommittally, twirling the remaining half of his cigarette on the table. His eyes caught sight of Liu Sujun by the window, and as if remembering something, he was about to speak—
"Let's take another look."
Liu Sujun anticipated his words, "After Xiao Chen left, the few people we found weren't quite right... This little guy just became a martial artist and is an orphan, so he's the most suitable candidate."
"If he comes again tomorrow, I'll find an opportunity to talk to him and see if he's willing to take over Xiao Chen's position."
"it is good."
Chu Gonghua said nothing about Liu Sujun's decision.
He simply relit the cigarette he had extinguished, took a deep drag, and the dissipated smoke began to drift back into the silent enforcement booth...
.......
Inside a rented room in the Xiacheng District.
Jiang Feng put away his panel with satisfaction.
He glanced at the time and realized it was almost midnight. He felt a wave of drowsiness wash over him and collapsed onto the bed, falling asleep instantly.
School ended the next day.
Jiang Feng got up and was about to go to the contaminated area to stack passive items when Li Wei stopped him.
"Jiang Feng, breaking news! The number of places available for our No. 13 Middle School to go to the historical site has been decided!"
"Oh." Jiang Feng packed his schoolbag expressionlessly.
"You're not interested?" Li Wei was taken aback. "Why not?"
Jiang Feng stopped what he was doing, straightened up, and looked calmly at Li Wei. "Then let me ask you, do you know how much time is left before the ruins open?"
Li Wei replied, "I know, it's been less than two months, what happened?"
"After the class placement exam next Monday, we'll get martial arts resources, right? That'll be just enough time for us to push our cultivation level again. I think reaching the second or third level of Body Tempering shouldn't be a problem before then."
Jiang Feng laughed and scolded, "You know it's only two months? Look at the transfer students at our No. 13 Middle School, they're all at the fifth level of Body Tempering. You can forget about No. 1 Middle School. You can't possibly tell me you're planning to fight someone at a higher level like the protagonist in a wish-fulfillment novel, fighting someone at the fifth level from the second level, can you?"
"Moreover, even a pig-brain knows that those people's martial arts aptitude is not ordinary. If it's profound bone or even spiritual bone, you really can't beat them even if you're at the fifth level of the Heavenly Realm."
Upon hearing this, Huang Zhaoqi quickly waved his hand, "No, the Martial King's Ruins aren't like that! We should shine brightly inside, attract the attention of the still-burning Martial King's soul, obtain his inheritance, and finally surpass all the other geniuses to become the leaders of the younger generation on the entire Donglin Star!"
Jiang Feng: "What do you mean?"
"Ignore him." Li Wei pushed Huang Zhaoqi away from YY and explained, "Things are not as you think. This time, the ruins are actually quite friendly to us low-level martial artists."
"What do you mean?" This time it was Jiang Feng's turn to be stunned.
"So you didn't see the announcement that's been making headlines all over the city these past few days!" Li Wei said with a relieved expression.
"It is said that the ruins of King Wu have not yet been fully developed, and only a corner of the entrance has been revealed. This is why the first opening two months later will only allow martial artists in the Body Tempering Realm to enter."
"In our Southern Star Region, there are clear regulations that whenever we encounter a secret realm or ruin that can only be entered by those at the Body Tempering Realm, all the resources for that realm must be allocated to the high schools in the area where the ruin is located, so that students can cultivate there."
"As expected of one of the star systems in the empire that values education the most," Jiang Feng remarked.
He then asked, "But what does this have to do with us being at the first level of Body Tempering?"
"Let me finish." Li Wei took a sip of water.
"Since it is a ruin specially prepared for us students, the Academy Alliance will certainly not allow us to kill each other. They also have a rule that any student who enters the ruin will not be killed unless they actively provoke or fight to the death. At most, they will fight for the opportunity. If they lose, they will be eliminated. Their lives will never be in danger."
"In other words, as long as we can get in, we all have life-saving locks. If we happen to manage to get a bottle or two of pure resources worth over 10 yuan, wouldn't that be a huge windfall?"
Jiang Feng was somewhat suspicious. "That's good?"
Li Wei also looked suspicious. "What the hell did you time-travel from? Is this your first time in our Southern Star Region?"
Jiang Feng's expression stiffened, and he changed the subject, "So how many spots does our No. 13 Middle School have?"
Seeing that the other party was finally moved, Li Wei smiled and held up two fingers.
"This memorial site is located within the jurisdiction of Donglin High School. Only the thirteen high schools in Donglin High School are eligible to enter. The total number of places is 500, and 20 places are allocated to our No. 13 High School."
"That's quite a lot." Jiang Feng grinned.
"That's quite a lot," Li Wei analyzed.
"Besides the four people who transferred here and Yuan Guannan, Fang Xiao, and Luo Feng from Class 1, there are 13 spots left. I've inquired and I know that in the class placement exam next Monday, more than 200 people will be assigned to the martial arts class. Most of them are at the same level as us, the first level of Body Tempering."
"In other words, as long as we practice diligently, we have at least a 5% chance of getting a spot when the assessment comes. If you don't give it your all now, when will you?"
To be honest, Jiang Feng was indeed tempted when he heard about the 10+ Star Sea Coins, but he still hesitated.
Even if, as Li Wei said, there are no injuries or fatalities in a fight between classmates, a ruin is still a ruin, and the dangers inside remain unknown.
"I'll think about it," Jiang Feng said. "If I can make a breakthrough in two months, I'll give it a try."
"Okay." Seeing this, Li Wei stopped trying to dissuade him, assuming that the other party lacked confidence.
After saying goodbye to Li Wei, Jiang Feng left the classroom.
