Chapter 136 Chapter 136

It's only been two months since I last went to school, but it feels like two years have passed. There's a strange feeling.

"School has been in session for more than three months, and classes have been suspended for only two months." Qingtong said to himself.

This is also quite unexpected for me to study at this university.

Although classes were suspended, it wasn't really like that. They still had online classes. When a class in the same major as theirs was in session, they also watched it simultaneously using the live broadcast software. However, it was hard to tell whether the students were really there as they were connected to the Internet.

Qingtong didn't attend those classes anyway. His future was to save the world and be a savior for the rest of his life. If the weirdness disappeared one day, he could rely on the savior points he earned, even if there were only a few left, to exchange for some gold and real estate, and he could live a comfortable life for the rest of his life.

It is more likely that he has been fighting against weird things on the front line all his life. Qingtong sighed in his heart.

Because it was a long time since we returned to campus, there were no classes arranged on the first day. Instead, all students gathered in the classroom for a class meeting.

The head teacher of Qingtong class is named Yang. Mr. Yang is middle-aged and his hair has long been sparse, but he has a good temper. Although we have only known this head teacher for a short time, we all affectionately call him Lao Yang.

"A lot has happened recently." Old Yang sighed, "Originally the school decided to keep you at home for two months, using software to live stream classes. I was worried whether you could keep up with the curriculum. But later, my biggest hope is to see all of you return to school."

"I'm very happy." Old Yang glanced at the people in the class, "Everyone is here."

"We almost couldn't make it, Old Yang." Qian Zhi was the most naughty, and he said with a tearful face, "There was a strange one on the path near my house, it looked super scary, several people passed by there and got hurt, and one person died. If I hadn't been sharp and noticed something was wrong earlier, there might have been more casualties."

"A big weird thing happened in a shopping mall near my home, and many people died."

"Your family? The one that was killed by the faceless boy in the live broadcast?"

"Yes, my hometown is there." The ponytail girl who spoke up looked worried. "Luckily I didn't go there. But my neighbor's relative died there. I could always hear crying from his house during those days. It was so tragic."

"It's been a tough time lately."

"If we hadn't encountered strange things before and had some experience, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to come back."

"Mr. Yang, what's the situation with the new course?"

The students asked in unison.

Lao Yang: "Regarding the new curriculum, there has been a recent campus education reform. I should have asked the class monitor to inform you."

Everyone nodded.

Old Yang continued, "Martial arts courses will be compulsory courses in the future, and they will be credited. I understand that you are all over 18 years old, and you have passed the best age to learn martial arts. But basic physical strength is still needed. First of all, you need to train your physical fitness. Those who fail the physical fitness test will not be given a graduation certificate."

“I’ll go—”

"Old Yang, what kind of physical fitness is considered passing?"

Old Yang said, "At least run five kilometers without kneeling."

The students in the class wailed.

Especially some thin girls and some slightly fat boys, they all looked like they had lost all hope in life.

Old Yang said loudly: "This is all for your sake. Think clearly. If you didn't study well before, it would affect your future. Now if you don't do well in sports, it will affect your life! There are more and more monsters. I don't ask you to pick up weapons and fight monsters for three or five hundred rounds, but you have to learn to run away!"

The students were silent, only a few of them hummed weakly.

"Hey, I've started working out a long time ago." Li Wen proudly stood up and rolled up his sleeves, "Look at the muscles I've built."

A boy next to him laughed and pinched Li Wen's belly: "You should get rid of this first."

The students all laughed.

"Old Yang, are courses related to weirdness also compulsory?" Pang You asked.

Old Yang replied: "No, that's another class. That's what I want to talk to you about."

The head teacher, Lao Yang, gradually became serious. "The higher-ups have decided to conduct reform experiments in universities and set up a new major called [Weirdness Response]. All the courses you see related to weirdness are courses in this major. As the name suggests, students who graduate from this major will automatically enter the official weirdness response department. They may be civilian or military positions. In short, they are all established and have excellent remuneration. However..."

Old Yang paused for a moment, his expression gradually darkening: "Fighting the monsters is as dangerous as going to the front line. I hope you have all considered whether to change your major."

"Teacher, can anyone turn?" asked the girl with ponytail.

Old Yang said, "Not everyone can transfer. At least you have to meet the physical requirements. There are no other requirements. By the way, if there are 'special circumstances', it's okay to transfer directly."

Qingtong had been sitting in the corner of the class, listening silently and browsing the system mall. After hearing what Lao Yang said, he looked over.

Special circumstances? I guess it means "awakening".

Qin Yi asked: "What is a special situation?"

Lao Yang: "If you have followed the weird live broadcasts and news reports, you should know that there are very few people who have magical powers after experiencing weird events. After testing, those powers can cause harm to weird things. We all call it 'awakening'. Of course, there are also a few people who regard it as 'assimilation' with weird things. It is not known whether this change is good or bad, but what is certain is that those people are born with the advantage of fighting weird things. This is a special case, with special powers. Even if the physical strength is not up to standard, you can first switch to the profession of dealing with weird things, and then train later."

At this point, Old Yang changed the subject: "But if he really wakes up, changing his major is secondary. Given the current shortage of manpower, he will probably be brought directly to the Strange Response Department and become a member there."

Li Wen exclaimed: "That is to say, if I wake up now, I can have a job in my freshman year? How to wake up?"

"It seems that if you come into deep contact with the weird, you will wake up."

"What the hell is deep contact? How do you get deep contact?" Someone laughed out loud.

"Clean your mind," the student thought, "maybe eat part of the weird body?"

"Don't try it blindly." Old Yang showed a stern expression for the first time. "The percentage of people who have awakened is too low. They are only a few survivors. Their experience may not be the right way. Some people want to awaken like you said, but there is a 99.99% chance of death. Don't try it blindly."

As soon as this probability was spoken, the whole class fell silent.

Then the topic of conversation shifted to whether or not to change majors. If you change majors, your future will be set. Of course, if you don't change majors, you still have to take martial arts classes. This has become a compulsory course for all majors, unless you are physically unable to practice, you can apply for exemption.

Many students are tempted. At a young age, who didn't have a dream of being a hero or a superpower when they were young? In today's world, fighting monsters on the front line is equivalent to being a hero, and awakening is equivalent to being a superpower. Even though the official has issued a serious warning that even if awakening is successful, there may be side effects of physical injury and life loss, and the probability of awakening is extremely low, asking everyone not to risk their lives by contacting monsters to awaken, there are still many people who are eager to try, thinking that they are the chosen one, the lucky one among thousands.

Someone asked Lao Yang about the details of the course on dealing with weird things, but unfortunately the official side did not reveal the details of how the course was taught, so Lao Yang did not know. However, what is certain is that the physical fitness requirements for changing majors are not low, and 80% of college students may not be able to meet them immediately, unless they are originally sports majors or athletes who like to participate in sports clubs.

Therefore, it is unlikely that students majoring in weirdness will be able to fill their time in a short period of time.

"Everyone has three days to think about it," said Lao Yang. "If you want to switch to a certain major, I need to create a file for you first and develop a more effective training plan. All the courses you were originally going to study will be put on hold, and your physical training will be the priority. As for those who do not plan to change their majors, they will continue to take classes according to the previous curriculum, but they will have to add a few more physical education classes."

"Old Yang, what should we do in these three days?"

Old Yang: "Talk to your family. Changing your major is not a small matter. You need your parents' consent to change your major."

Although you are already an adult when you enter university, changing your major is no joke. If you do not discuss it with your parents and the school changes your major based solely on your wishes, it will be difficult to explain to your parents if something goes wrong in the future.

The classmates started talking about it. Some complained that their parents would never agree to their change of major, while others said that their parents were too lazy to take care of them.

"Host, your parents won't agree, right?" The salvation system said in Qingtong's mind.

Qingtong was still browsing the store interface by himself: "I don't need their consent at all, I just need to 'wake up'."

Didn't you hear what Old Yang said? After 'awakening', you will automatically enter the strange response profession, or even directly enter the strange response department. As for convincing your parents, you only need to say that your awakened ability needs to be stabilized by the secret book of the strange response department. Yes, it is the book [How to accurately control the strange power in the body] that was redeemed from the system mall and then traded by Bai Yixin.

Besides, his parents were not difficult to convince.

"System, is there anything strange around here? Weak or strong... Never mind, don't be too strong. The main body doesn't have the fighting power of the vest. If it falls off accidentally, it will be the end of you."

Savior System: "Yes, there is a monster hiding in this school. Because it has not yet started to harm people, the danger is relatively low, so this system has not dealt with it. There is no prompt on the software map of the monster live broadcast."

Because the monster is still hiding and in a dormant state, if it alerts someone to go looking for it, it will easily cause trouble.

"Hmm? Where is it?"

"Room 301, Building 1, East Campus Dormitory."

Qingtong: ...

Wait, at this location, on this floor, the boys' dormitory for their class is right there, right?
