Wang Zheng had no idea that the conference room in Shanghai was already in an uproar over him.
Old Man Chu, who was very protective of his own, almost pulled the others into a fight. You can only say that he is indeed a lightning-type awakener, and he is quite irritable!
Wang Zheng has now reunited with Wu Huan and Chu Xiaoman.
Seeing that Wang Zheng had tossed another 8 coins into his hand, Chu Xiaoman excitedly asked, "Wang Zheng, where did you get so many coins again? Did you catch the horned deer that ran away before? That's great! Here are some more, you should put them away quickly." Then she stuffed the previous 14 silver coins into her hand.
"Yeah, we caught up with them. We were lucky. We ran into two injured students, treated them a few times, and they gave us 15 points as payment." Wang Zheng said without hesitation.
"It's a bit of a pity, though. More than a dozen horned deer, and none of them produced any spiritual energy crystals." Chu Xiaoman said with some disappointment.
In fact, Wang Zheng was somewhat prepared. When he killed the horned deer, he sensed something was wrong. The maximum spiritual energy he gained was less than that of the fang wolf. He killed 14 horned deer, but only gained a total of 45 points of spiritual energy, averaging 3 points per deer, which was 2 points less than that of the fang wolf.
Wang Zheng comforted him, "There will be more in the future. By the way, what about the carcasses of those horned deer? I didn't see them on my way back."
"Not long after we found all the coins, the instructors came and collected all the bodies," Chu Xiaoman replied nonchalantly.
Wang Zheng guessed that the organizers might have arranged for the instructors to clean up the site to prevent the corpses from triggering the ferocity of some carnivorous animals. That's why they also arranged for the instructors to collect the animal meat.
Thinking of this, a bold idea suddenly arose in my mind, but I'll leave it aside for now.
He looked at his data panel, spiritual energy value: 732/732. Wang Zheng wanted to try killing the alien beast when his spiritual energy value reached 799, to see if it would allow him to break through the 800-point limit.
The three then continued their journey toward their habitat.
On the way back, Wang Zheng could clearly sense that Chu Xiaoman was a little tired, so he took the initiative to clear the way. However, their good luck seemed to have run out, and they did not encounter any more strange beasts until they reached the place where they had met the Jiangzhe University team in the morning.
Wang Zheng even suspected that there were too few exotic beasts on the island, so the reason he could get points was not whether he could defeat them, but whether he could encounter them.
Wang Hang and Qiu Lu had already left. Since they didn't follow the stream, Wang Zheng didn't see the so-called supplies, but he didn't care and simply led Wu Huan and Chu Xiaoman back the way they came.
After the three of them had a hearty meal, Wang Zheng summarized the gains of the past two days and discussed the next steps with the two of them based on today's exploration.
I earned a total of 1 gold coin, 28 silver coins, and 9 bronze coins over two days, for a total of 159 points.
Wang Zheng felt that he might have misunderstood something before. After making such a big profit today, the three-person team only got a total of 159 points. He doubted how the other students would make up for the huge 100 points if the camera was destroyed.
He felt that his thinking was somewhat wrong and it was time to make adjustments. He shouldn't dwell on water resources, supplies, or other trainees anymore.
Everyone has just arrived on the island, and based on Wang Zheng's experience, the density of alien beasts is not as high as imagined. Therefore, the students actually have a limited number of coins, and there is no need to waste time contacting them at this stage.
It would be better to go find the strange beasts yourself first, and then make a big profit when the test is almost over, and then come back to collect a wave of treatment fees from them.
Wu Huan and Chu Xiaoman naturally had no objections, but their willingness to follow advice this time backfired spectacularly on them.
After gaining their approval, Wang Zheng would take the two of them to remote and desolate places every day.
Although Wu Huan didn't complain, her face had become noticeably thinner. Her swordsmanship was also becoming increasingly refined. While Chu Xiaoman constantly complained, she showed no fear in battle.
This made Wang Zheng very gratified, feeling that both women had grown considerably.
After putting in hard work and effort, the rewards were naturally pleasing. Although he didn't encounter the Iron-skinned Bull of the third rank again, the fanged wolves and earth pigs around him had probably been wiped out by Wang Zheng.
Upon arriving at each area, he would first clear away the surrounding obstacles, then shred the corpses of other strange beasts and use them as bait. He would lie in ambush nearby, waiting for his prey to take the bait, while Wu Huan and Chu Xiaoman would keep watch around the area and lure any strange beasts they spotted towards them.
Beasts with a keen sense of smell, such as fang wolves and earth pigs, are easily attracted by the smell of blood, and naturally, they die one after another. In the end, even the instructors who were cleaning up the battlefield stopped paying attention to them.
In three days, they killed nearly a hundred fanged wolves and dozens of native boars. The other first-grade exotic beasts were given to Wu Huan and Chu Xiaoman to practice on, and Wang Zheng also needed to rest and recover his strength, so he didn't rush to deal with them.
These more than one hundred second-grade exotic beasts increased Wang Zheng's spiritual energy limit by a total of 610 points.
Wang Zheng discovered that after his spiritual energy limit reached 799 points, killing monsters would no longer provide any further boosts. So, he decisively increased his intelligence and spirit to 29 points each, spending 240 points of spiritual energy.
It wasn't that he didn't want to continue increasing it, but the strange phenomenon after his physique reached 30 made him a little worried. After all, he was carrying a camera, and he didn't dare to take any risks. As for agility, he only increased it by 3 points due to insufficient training, which cost him 60 points of spiritual energy.
With the remaining spiritual energy, he upgraded his strength and constitution to A level again, deducting 300 points from the maximum limit. This was 100 points more than the first upgrade, which was within Wang Zheng's expectations. His strength value also naturally broke through the 40-point limit, reaching 44 points.
Wang Zheng felt that it wouldn't be long before he could surpass Wang Shengrong in his normal state.
Then I upgraded Heart of Thorns again, which also deducted 200 points, 100 more than before.
Looking at his data panel, Wang Zheng was very satisfied. He felt that he had made the right decision to come to this training camp. It was worth it even if he didn't get any other rewards. However, even if he didn't need the rewards, he shouldn't give them to others.

Holy Light+ (Cast on target, restores a small amount of the target's health, restoring 10 points + 10% of Intelligence as health)
After a long wait, Chu Xiaoman was getting impatient. "Wang Zheng, is this area almost cleared? It's been almost two hours since any strange beasts have come near!"
Wang Zheng made a quick decision: "Wait another half hour. If no other strange beasts come, then we'll call it a day!"
Just then, Wu Huan's cold voice came through the earpiece: "A third-grade exotic beast is approaching, a Shadow Leopard!"
