Class F fell into a brief silence.
Immediately, sneers rang out from every corner, one after another.
"Oh my, this is so funny! What's this little girl's background? She's in Class F and she's still thinking about taking a simulated practical training class?"
"Hush, I'm not some little girl. I was the genius lady in Class A. It's normal for me to be confused after accidentally falling into Class F. Please be more tolerant and give me some time to adjust my mindset."
"Hahaha, I don't mean to laugh, it's just that her expression was so funny. Did you see how serious her expression was?"
Someone even shouted towards the front of the classroom, "Gu Qiongsheng, stop wasting your energy. Aren't you useless? Why are you still thinking about things that don't belong to you?"
"Yeah, with F-level mental power, it's impossible to get into university anyway. Wouldn't it be better to learn a skill early on so you don't starve to death on the streets?"
"Beautiful lady, what's your laptop account number? I have a spare copy of the 'Sow Production Technical Guide'. I'll send it to you online. Can we take a look together?"
The noise was noisy and chaotic.
Gu Qiongsheng's hands on the light screen gradually clenched.
She looked at her classmates who were either sneering or shaking their heads, her slender brows tightly furrowed, her eyes shining like obsidian washed in clear water.
"Spiritual Power F, so what?"
Facing the mocking gazes of the crowd, Gu Qiongsheng's eyes burned brightly as he spoke each word with clarity: "Before awakening, as long as you practice diligently, your mental strength will slowly increase. If F-level isn't enough for the War College entrance exam, what about E-level? What about D-level?"
She, an F-level person whose awakening was ruined, is not discouraged yet. Why should these people who still have the chance to awaken be so discouraged?
A red-haired boy in the front row propped up his chin in boredom, glanced up at her, and said lazily, "Yes, Miss, you've been taking all kinds of supplements since you were a child. You have a special training room, and even the toys you play with are custom-made to develop your mental strength."
"Our family isn't that wealthy. We can't afford to eat or practice. By the time we start school, we're already a step behind you geniuses."
"Besides, there are only three months left before the league exam. This class is full of Fs. How many of them can get an E?"
"How could it be possible to get promoted to D in just three months like you said?"
"Face the reality!" someone nearby joked. "If I had more time, I'd give it a try. But there are only three months left. Seeing something impossible, why waste time?"
"It's better to find another way out as soon as possible."
Gu Qiongsheng frowned even more tightly.
"Who says it's impossible?"
She raised her head, her clear eyes swept across the class, her voice crisp and resounding.
"I have a way to get all of you to E-rank, or even D-rank, within three months. The prerequisite is that you come with me right now to the training ground for a simulated practical training class!"
After saying that, Gu Qiongsheng walked straight towards the classroom door.
The steps are swift and the wind is whistling.
It was not until she walked a long way that a burst of laughter and a series of disapproving boos were heard from Class F.
"Upgrading in three months... I haven't been able to do it in three years, and she said she can do it in three months?"
"It's hilarious! This woman must have failed in her awakening and gone crazy."
"Hey, look! She's really heading towards the training ground. An F-level psychic going to the training ground, isn't that just asking for trouble?"
"I suddenly wanted to go over and take a look. No special intention, I just wanted to see how this girl ended up... I don't think she'd get slaughtered by the AI in the training ground and end up coming back crying."
"Oh, that's interesting. I'll go check it out too!"
…
The academy training ground was a place the original owner often went to.
Relying on his memory, Gu Qiongsheng quickly found the location.
Behind her, a group of students from Class F followed sparsely.
These students, who usually lead depressing lives, were eager for a bit of fun. Furthermore, the target of their ridicule was once the top student in Class A, an elite they could never hope to surpass despite desperately looking up to him. This subtle gloating, born of envy, fermented all the way to its peak by the time they arrived at the training grounds.
The students formed circles outside the training ground, and when they saw Gu Qiongsheng sitting in the simulation cabin and putting on the controller, they all smiled even more happily.
"Look, she's really on it!"
"Miss Gu, don't forget to set the difficulty to the lowest setting!"
"Come on, let's make a bet. How many minutes can she last?"
"One and a half minutes."
"I'll bet one cent, no more!"
Gu Qiongsheng turned a deaf ear to all the noise.
The moment she put on the controller, her entire consciousness was connected to the campus intranet and entered the simulated space.
[Identity check in progress... Cadet Gu Qiongsheng, welcome to the training ground.]
[The fixed simulation environment for this course is: Aquaplanet S1 version.]
[Training goal: Kill all Zerg.]
[Please select the difficulty level: Low/Intermediate/Advanced]
"upscale."
Gu Qiongsheng didn't think twice.
The original owner had often challenged the advanced level before, and was almost at the point of completing it. Although Gu Qiongsheng's mental strength was not as strong as before, she looked at the system panel in her field of vision and calmed down slightly.
[Training begins——]
Gu Qiongsheng's surroundings changed.
She appeared on a desolate planet, and not far away, a giant insect with a ferocious face raised its blade and rushed straight towards her!
The most common Zerg vanguard, the Bladeworm!
The original owner's fighting spirit quickly revived within her body. Gu Qiongsheng grabbed with her backhand, her mental power condensing into a sharp dagger. She rushed towards the giant insect, and just as she was about to collide with the blade, she suddenly turned and slid sideways behind the insect.
The hand rises and the knife falls!
The original owner was indeed a genius, and his fighting instinct was ingrained in his bones. With this slash, the giant blade insect let out a shrill scream and turned into a point of light and dissipated in front of Gu Qiongsheng.
At the same time, two huge figures quickly gathered in front.
Two giant blade insects, with four long swords, chopped straight towards Gu Qiongsheng!
…
“45s, 46s, 47s…”
Outside the training ground, students looked at the duration and shook their heads.
"Almost there, almost a minute. Her mental strength should be failing, and she won't be able to accurately micro-manage."
"Yeah, I just can't get past the one-minute mark. Once my mental strength runs out, I'll get hit by bugs, and then the training is over."
"It's okay if it's over, but it hurts."
"This damn system only blocks 40% of the pain, so what is it if not pain?"
"She chose the advanced difficulty level. Tsk, it seems she really doesn't know her own limitations."
"Okay, stop talking, the minute is almost up!"
The students were actually right.
The poor students understand the poor students best, because their pain is similar: if they can't do it, they can't do it. If the C-level has a wide range, with different levels of mental strength, then the F-level is leveled - with less than 500 points, everyone is the same, the ultimate fairness.
In the simulated training ground, Gu Qiongsheng had indeed reached his limit.
The outline of the blade in her hand became blurred. Her black hair was wet with sweat and stuck tightly to her soft cheeks and ears. Her cheeks were slightly red due to concentration.
Gu Qiongsheng was also grazed by the Zerg's blade twice.
The injury wasn't serious, but it really hurt.
She hissed, looked at the three giant blade insects that gathered again in front of her, and roared with her head raised.
"Holy Light, illuminate the darkness!"
The next second, white light suddenly descended, breaking the fiber optic barrier of the simulated training ground. Gu Qiongsheng felt that his mental strength was recovering rapidly, and the wounds caused by the giant blade insect were also healing rapidly.
The most important thing is...
[Use the skill Minor Healing, proficiency +1]
Alas, using skills in the training ground is actually considered proficiency!
Gu Qiongsheng finally understood that she had to exhaust herself to the limit first, especially until her mental strength was almost exhausted, before she could improve her proficiency in the minor healing technique.
In this way, she no longer felt the pain in her body, but instead felt a strange sense of pleasure from playing a hard-working game.
Moreover, Gu Qiongsheng discovered that after her mental power was quickly depleted and then quickly replenished, her total mental power seemed to... have increased a little bit?
Could it be that she accidentally discovered another wonderful use of the system?
Various speculations emerged in his mind, and Gu Qiongsheng was itching to play a few more rounds immediately.
Holding the dagger that had condensed again, she hooked her finger at the three giant blade insects.
"You guys coming over here?"
…
Outside the training ground, the students who were waiting to see Gu Qiongsheng make a fool of himself gradually felt that something was wrong.
"1m26s, 1m27s, 1m28s..."
The training time on the display screen was increasing every second. Not only did it break through the 1-minute mark they had imagined, but it also continued to increase in a very stable manner.
Someone murmured quietly, "Is she slacking off in the training ground, trying to pass the time?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he shook his head in denial.
He had used the simulated training ground before. Once it was opened, it would be an endless round-robin battle. As soon as one simulated insect fell, the next one would attack at high speed, leaving no chance for anyone to breathe.
It is a complete simulation of the real battlefield.
There is no such thing as a long time to wait.
A moment later, another student slapped his thigh and said, "I know!"
"She fell from D-rank after all, so her control over her mental energy is inherently better than ours. Besides, isn't her Gu family very wealthy? We could spend a fortune on buying her some precious potions. Maybe she can last a little longer."
Someone said sourly: "But didn't the Gu family fall?"
"You're stupid. A lean camel is bigger than a horse. How could she be completely broke?"
This explanation was quite convincing, and the students breathed a sigh of relief.
It's not that they didn't work hard. In the final analysis, F grade is not enough. If you can't do it, you can't do it. She, Gu Qiongsheng, is just relying on the financial support from her family to hold on for a while longer.
"With the potion... 5 minutes, tops, right?"
"How could it take so long?"
"I don't know what drugs she took."
The students were whispering.
5 minutes is already considered long. If Gu Qiongsheng could really persist for 5 minutes in the advanced simulation training ground, this result would allow him to be at the bottom of Class C, so why would he be relegated to Class F?
At this time, Gu Qiongsheng in the simulation training ground had already reached the fifth level.
The bug in the fifth level has changed. It is no longer a giant knife bug, but a sarcoma bug that is as tall as a small hill, with a bulging back and grooves all over its body.
"Brain bug?" Gu Qiongsheng shook his aching wrist.
The scientific name of this worm is Nematode elegans, but because its appearance resembles a brain, it is often nicknamed "brain flower".
Unlike the giant knife worm's swift attack, this worm can emit an electromagnetic wave that interferes with light and thus affects the imaging of the human eye.
The moment the brain flower worm appeared, Gu Qiongsheng felt that the scene in front of him had changed. The flat ground sank silently and turned into a bottomless abyss.
Mars emerged from the abyss, and hot magma gushed out like a spring, covering the earth.
And she was standing on the rolling lava.
"What a sinister design."
Gu Qiongsheng frowned.
First, use the giant knife worm to consume the students' physical and mental strength. By the time the brain flower worm appears, most of the students are already very tired. At this time, the brain flower worm uses a move similar to illusion. For students who are no longer mentally clear, the chance of being hit is undoubtedly greatly increased.
But for Gu Qiongsheng, it was not a problem at all.
Once the milk is released, you will feel refreshed!
She can fight the brain bug in front of her with the most concentrated and peak energy!
…
Outside the training ground.
The previous laughter had long since disappeared, and the students looked at each other with the same surprised look in their eyes.
"...How long has it been?"
“…8 minutes.”
This is already the lower level of Class B.
"I remember that the top students in Class A should take around 15 minutes?"
"No," someone shook their head, "There are two people in Class A who can clear the advanced difficulty level."
"I'm not talking about those two monsters, I'm talking about Gu Qiongsheng. Hasn't she cleared the level before?"
Glancing at the ranking records on the public screen, the students shook their heads.
In the advanced column of this year's ranking list, only the top two people were marked as having passed the test. Gu Qiongsheng ranked third with the best time being 18 minutes.
...It's not possible that after being ruined, the results will be even better, right?

Happy Children's Day everyone! Stay young forever~
