Extreme quietness.
A moment later, Class F erupted in loud laughter.
"Hahahaha, am I deaf? I seem to have heard that Gu Qiongsheng wants Zhou Qing to train to pass the level?"
"Your ears are fine, that's how I heard it too."
"If our ears are fine, what's wrong?"
"...Gu Qiongsheng!"
Laughter was boisterous, especially from Tan Yao in front, who was laughing so hard that he was bent over and slamming his hands on the table. "Gu Qiongsheng, you're too arrogant. We don't understand you, but don't we understand her?"
He raised his hand, his fingertips pointing directly at Zhou Qing. "She and I come from the same home planet, Zhaoyun Star in the A89 galaxy... Doesn't that name sound familiar to you? That's right, it's a junk planet!"
"The first word I learned after I was born was not 'mommy' or 'daddy', but 'trash'."
"From the age of eight, I was responsible for cleaning a 200-square-meter garbage dump every day. I got up early and worked late to complete the task, not even taking lunch break, just to squeeze in half an hour to practice my mental strength."
"See my hair? Do you think I like this stupid color? It's like this because one time when I was cleaning up an abandoned mecha, a radiation hub suddenly exploded, and the volatile toxic gas invaded my skin. Although I survived after the rescue, my hair will always be like this."
Tan Yao's voice suddenly became a little heavy.
"Do you think I want to go back to that planet?"
"Don't you think we went through so much trouble to get into a military academy just to become soldiers?"
He pulled his hair hard, his eyes looking extremely fierce.
"On such a huge Zhaoyun Star, only Zhou Qing and I passed the exam."
"At first we were very excited and thought we were geniuses, but on the first day after entering the Capital Star Military High School, we were beaten to a pulp."
"Our mental strength grew too slowly, and we were labeled F-rank. Three years went by in a flash. During these three years, we tried every possible method. Zhou Qing even worked herself to the point of passing out in the training room several times, but to no avail. Our mental strength just wouldn't increase!"
The roar contained too much helplessness and tears. These words had been hidden in Tan Yao's heart for a long time and had been blocked for a long time.
"Why is Class F in the most remote corner of the campus?"
"Because the other students disliked us, and the instructors also disliked us, they left us here to fend for ourselves, and set us as negative examples for students in other classes."
"If you don't work hard, you'll be dropped to Class F. If you lose, you'll be thrown into Class F. Class F is a bunch of losers. If you get close to them, you'll be unlucky... When we hear students from other classes say this, do you know how we feel?"
He stared at Gu Qiongsheng coldly.
"You're not a true F-Class. You haven't experienced our pain, so don't pretend to understand."
"There are no weaklings or wimps in this class."
"We just made a more realistic choice in the face of cruel facts."
Not only Tan Yao, but many people in the class had tears in their eyes after these words were spoken.
Although geniuses are not necessarily rich, rich people can buy sufficient resources to lay the foundation for their children, and they will definitely not end up in Class F.
Everyone in this class had similar backgrounds and sufferings as Tan Yao. Gu Qiongsheng could feel the laughter quickly fading away, replaced by a dead silence.
There was also a very slight, almost inaudible sniffing sound.
The corners of her clothes were suddenly pulled several times.
Gu Qiongsheng turned around and looked into Zhou Qing's eyes, who was trying hard to hold back tears. The girl shook her head at him, her expression extremely sad.
After a moment of silence, Gu Qiongsheng said softly, "The realistic choice may not be the right one."
She took a deep breath and scanned the faces of the entire class. "What I said just now wasn't meant to discourage anyone, nor was it meant to tease anyone. I just wanted to tell you that there's still hope. Since we still have three months left, why not give it a try?"
"At least, I'm not going to give up."
"I want to be admitted to the First War College. I want to become a warrior. With this goal in mind, I need to form a team of at least five people in three months to participate in the team battle of the Alliance Exam."
"I sincerely hope that one of you can become my companion."
After saying that, in front of everyone's astonished gazes, Gu Qiongsheng grabbed Zhou Qing's hand.
"I will definitely prove this hope to you."
…
When Zhou Qing walked out of the classroom, her eyes were still red.
She whispered, "I'm sorry, Sister Qiongsheng. Could you please not blame Tan Yao and the others?"
"They are too desperate to believe you."
"It's not just them. I've tried many ways and tried many times, but in the end, there's nothing I can do."
The girl sobbed softly, her voice very thin. "It's so painful. I feel like I can't see a way out. Every day is like walking in the dark, bumping my head and bleeding, but I'm still going around in circles..."
Gu Qiongsheng was silent for a moment, then said softly, "I know."
She inherited the original owner's memories, knew the pain of failed awakening, and clearly remembered how painful and desperate the original owner was at the moment her mental power exploded.
For the original owner, the pain of failure happened in an instant.
But for the students in Class F, this pain is like a blunt knife cutting flesh, hurting their self-esteem and destroying their dreams over the years, until finally, it turns them into the irritable, numb, and desperate people they are today.
She has her own golden fingers, a system panel, and hope of recovery.
But the people in Class F didn't see any hope at all.
No wonder they were so excited and spoke without thinking when facing Gu Qiongsheng.
Because every word Gu Qiongsheng said hit the most painful part of their hearts.
"Alas, we can't just watch them degenerate like this and leave them alone."
Gu Qiongsheng murmured, "Since I'm bound to the healer's panel, I might as well help if I can."
It just so happened that she also needed to build a faction and needed teammates to participate in the competition.
Moreover, Gu Qiongsheng herself has a bit of a nanny mentality and prefers the healing type. Otherwise, when there were so many game characters that needed to be designed, she would not have chosen nothing but a nanny.
Holding Zhou Qing's hand, Gu Qiongsheng strode forward along the school road.
"Jiong, Sister Jonson, where are you taking me?"
Zhou Qing's eyes were still confused.
Gu Qiongsheng said succinctly: "Go to the training ground."
Zhou Qing was bewildered: "Why go to the training ground? This isn't a simulation training class..."
Gu Qiongsheng: "Have you forgotten that students have one training opportunity every day, and this opportunity is outside of the curriculum."
Zhou Qing: “…”
Zhou Qing smiled bitterly and shook her head secretly.
She knew that students at military colleges had a training opportunity every day, or rather, she remembered it very clearly because for a long time after entering college, she went to training regardless of rain or shine, unwilling to miss any opportunity.
Every time I exhausted all my mental energy, and there were times when the consumption was so great that I had to stay in bed to recuperate.
...Since when did I last go to that training room?
The morning breeze blows in my face, and the sunlight penetrates the layers of branches and leaves, casting mottled silhouettes.
Zhou Qing covered her forehead with her right hand, recalling with mixed emotions - it seemed that one day after training, she was severely ridiculed by several people passing by Class A.
In fact, this was not the first time she was ridiculed.
She was used to being laughed at.
But that time was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. She looked at the one minute on the screen that seemed to never pass, as if she had seen a towering mountain. For some reason, she burst into tears, and she never went to the training room again after that...
Gu Qiongsheng in front suddenly stopped.
"We're here."
Zhou Qing quickly came back to her senses and raised her head awkwardly.
Gu Qiongsheng smiled at her encouragingly and pointed to the simulator cabin in the training room: "It's empty this morning, so go in quickly."
Zhou Qing bit her lower lip. "I... I can only hold on for a minute. There's no point in doing this training. Actually..."
Gu Qiongsheng interrupted her.
"It's okay, just listen to me and try it first," she reminded, "Remember to choose two-player mode."
…
[Identity verification in progress... Students Gu Qiongsheng and Zhou Qing, welcome to the training ground.]
[The fixed simulation environment for this training is: Blue Planet S3 version.]
[Training goal: Kill all Zerg.]
[Please select the difficulty level: Low/Intermediate/Advanced]
Gu Qiongsheng said without hesitation: "Advanced!"
Zhou Qing, who had just entered the training ground, stumbled.
"It's okay, don't be nervous." Gu Qiongsheng patted his chest confidently, "I'll take care of everything."
At the same time, she quietly opened the system panel.
After the character was upgraded to LV2 yesterday, the panel underwent new changes and some game functions were gradually unlocked. Among them was a function that Gu Qiongsheng was very interested in: team formation.
She remembered that when entering a dungeon in the game, there was a 50% experience bonus when forming a team.
Quietly adding Zhou Qing to the team list, Gu Qiongsheng condensed his mental dagger and enthusiastically took a fighting stance towards the giant blade worm that was gradually appearing in front of him.
If she could get experience bonuses, she could upgrade her character faster. Not to mention the possibility of unlocking more features later, just the character upgrade will increase her mental strength, mana bar, and skill points!
Gu Qiongsheng was eager to try, but Zhou Qing was terrified.
She had very little mental power and could only condense a small cold weapon, so she was holding a dagger in her hand.
And in front of them, three giant blade insects took shape.
In the first round, there were three of them right away.
In the two-player mode of the training room, the difficulty is definitely 1+1>2.
Gu Qiongsheng rushed forward at high speed, and when he was close to the giant blade worm, he suddenly turned to the left and shouted to Zhou Qing, "I'll go left, you go right, and the one in the middle will come together!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she jumped high, climbed up the back of the giant blade insect nimbly, lightly dodged the long blade in the opponent's hand, turned the dagger in her hand with a beautiful knife flower, and stabbed it down fiercely!
Zhou Qing was secretly shocked when she saw this.
Gu Qiongsheng's generosity in using his mental strength... is truly enviable.
She calmed herself down, rushed forward, aimed at the giant blade worm's weakness, and stabbed it hard!
While training, Gu Qiongsheng also took the time to observe Zhou Qing's condition.
Seeing the other party stab with the knife, she nodded slightly.
Zhou Qing's movements were crisp and decisive, evidently from arduous training. The only problem was her mental strength was too low, even less than Gu Qiongsheng's. After a few thrusts, the blade's edge faded, and her face paled considerably.
The second round is six giant blade worms.
Doubled compared to the first round.
After killing the third one, Zhou Qing was already showing obvious signs of fatigue.
She was still gritting her teeth and persevering, but her mental strength was on the verge of exhaustion. The only reason she hadn't given up was because of her willpower.
...Has it been a minute?
Zhou Qing tried hard to raise her head.
There was another timer in the training ground, and at this moment, a row of large numbers was flashing: 53s... 54s...
Zhou Qing felt a pain in her heart, and a trace of dejection flashed in her eyes.
Sure enough, she still couldn't get past the 1-minute mark.
A simple minute, something other students could easily reach, but for her, it felt like a chasm, a chasm that abruptly separated her from hope...
Suddenly, a young girl's crisp voice sounded in Zhou Qing's ears.
"Holy Light, illuminate the darkness!"
A white light descended from the sky and enveloped her in an instant!
The dried-up spiritual power quickly recovered, like the ice and snow melting in spring and the streams gurgling and flowing down.
The body that had been pushed to its limit was suddenly filled with a magical power, and Zhou Qing was pleasantly surprised to find that after being filled again, the mental strength actually increased a little bit!
Although just a little bit.
But this little bit is enough to make up for her months of hard training.
Zhou Qing maintained a forward-moving posture, with a storm rising in her heart.
Her pupils suddenly shrank and she stared at Gu Qiongsheng in front of her. The dejection in her heart had long disappeared, leaving only an intense shock that turned the world upside down.
Oh my God, what a miracle is this?
How can it have such a powerful effect?
