6 Gifts
◎ Rich and willful◎
The overall rankings were drastically different than usual, with the top fifty seemingly completely reshuffled. As expected, the allure of a place in an experimental class taught by an S-rank instructor was incredibly compelling, with even the upper and middle classes desperately hoping to squeeze in or get lucky and snag a spot.
The leaders of Baita were also delighted with the results.
The second assessment counts as their work indicator, but this mainly depends on the elimination rate. In previous years, the competition was always fierce in the second half, which had little impact on the overall performance. The indicators of several of their neighboring companies have not been very good, and it is useless even if they are mentioned several times by their superiors.
This time, Canxing White Tower's second assessment results this year have soared among the marginal White Towers, and promotion and salary increase are no longer a dream.
Yan Xunzhi looked down the total scores. Zheng Qingan was ninth, not surprising... Yi Rong was forty-three... What, forty-three?!
She widened her eyes and pulled her gaze back.
Every day during class, Yi Rong either took a nap or lay down to rest, or came over to chat and talk about everything. Yan Xunzhi thought they were similar...it turned out that she was just too narcissistic.
The situation was relatively normal afterwards. The other two people at the small dining table with her were ranked 178th and 204th respectively, Shu Chi was 231st, and she was ranked 300th.
Yi Rong's rapid rise to fame had no effect on Yan Xianyu. She sighed, then happily packed up her things and prepared to go back to eat and sleep.
After the second assessment, there is usually a day of rest for the students to recover their energy and the White Tower will re-assign them to classes.
Except for the top 50 this time, the others were still divided into classes for unified training. The EV drugs injected after class every day were replaced to prepare for differentiation one year later.
Yan Xunzhi enjoyed this hard-earned vacation very much - as a future pillar of society, it was a luxury to rest all year round.
Piaodiaoran went to get food until Shu Chi patted her and asked, "Did Instructor Kong tell her what time he would look for her?"
Yan Xunzhi was stunned for a moment, "What? Why are you looking for her?"
"Guidance." Shu Chi said, "She said that after the second assessment, we should go to her for guidance. You won't forget it, right?"
“…”
Yan Xunzhi heard the sound of his vacation being shattered into pieces.
She really wanted to ask: Can I not go? But not going was impossible. How could she dare to stand up the instructor?
After a tasteless dinner, I dragged myself to the free training room.
If Kong Wei didn't say it, it should be here, right?
There were unexpectedly many people in the free training room tonight. Perhaps the class division stimulated everyone's desire to strive for excellence. Some of them felt that they did not perform well and were not perfect enough, so they came here to continue training after the assessment.
Yan Xunzhi and Shu Chi stood at the door and looked around. All the machines were full. Kong Wei probably wouldn't teach here unless she wanted to be watched all night.
Then where to go?
Yan Xunzhi stood there for a while, then decided to go back to sleep. If he ran into Kong Wei in class the day after tomorrow, he would say they had been to the free training room and couldn't find him, so they had no choice but to go back.
Anyway, she wasn't lying. She really didn't inform them of the location, and the two of them couldn't find where to go.
The two of them started to leave.
"Hey!" A voice came from behind. It was Yi Rong. "Are you really waiting here? There are too many people here. Instructor Kong said to go over there."
She pointed in a direction, "Follow the corridor and take the second right entrance to the third room. You go ahead. I'll wait here for Jing Tingping and Yi Huai."
At such a critical moment...
Yan Xunzhi felt as if a dark cloud was floating above her head, and small lightning was rumbling and striking her head.
She had indeed misjudged him. Yi Rong... was a man who loved to study and work hard. He was completely different from her!
Since someone called me, there was no reason not to go. Yan Xunzhi sighed inwardly and followed Shu Chi along her route.
I counted to the door of the third room, swiped my card, and the red light came on.
She looked up and saw the doorplate read: Special Education Training Room 3
Students don't have permission to open the door; an instructor has to come. Just as Yan Xunzhi was about to think about it, the door unlocked with a click and opened from the inside. Kong Wei was already inside, and he stepped back half a step to let them in. "Are you here? Put on your training clothes first."
They came here in their training uniforms. Yan Xunzhi was just wondering if her eyesight was poor when he turned the corner and saw five sets of clothes neatly arranged on the cupboard.
Then she found some clothes with her own brand name on them, shook them out, and discovered that the difference between the training clothes and what she was wearing was more than just huge.
The training suit she is wearing is the uniform she has to wear during training. The upper body is a quick-drying shirt with a collar, and the lower body is quick-drying tapered pants. It is mainly convenient for daily activities and training, and she does not need to change in the morning or afternoon.
Kong Wei’s approach is different.
They wore a tight rubber bodysuit, and it took them a while to put it on. Outside, it was a soft leather shell jacket, a bit like a windbreaker, but the inside seemed to be covered with a layer of ice. Yan Xunzhi shivered as soon as he put it on.
The pants are similar, with a layer of tight rubber and a layer of soft shell waterproof ice layer on the outer pants. The shoe shaft is slightly higher than the ankle, wrapping the ankle and trouser legs, and it feels cool when you step into it.
The gray mask was wrapped around her head, and on her ears were full-cover earplugs designed according to different personal characteristics, firmly fitting on her ear bones. There was a small loudspeaker inside the earplugs.
Finally, apply a water film to the eyes. It is a bit like a combination of eye drops and contact lenses. The liquid is dropped into the eyes and automatically forms a film to protect the eyeball.
This seems to be... Yan Xunzhi feels familiar, but can't remember where he has seen it.
Shu Chi came over and asked, "Isn't this the military uniform on the ground?"
That's right! Yan Xunzhi finally realized that she had read about it in a book. The clothes used for missions on the ground looked very similar to this. They hadn't reached the stage of going to the ground yet, so why did Kong Wei take the clothes for the ground?
"Are you dressed?" Kong Wei called them from outside.
Shu Chi didn't wear earplugs yet, so Yan Xunzhi put on his clothes and went out first.
The inside of her shoes was so cold that every step felt like walking on ice. She felt a little uncomfortable and subconsciously wanted to shrink, and her walking posture became strange.
Turning the corner, Kong Wei found a random place to sit. When he heard her coming out, he looked up, looked her up and down twice, and nodded with satisfaction, "You are well dressed, all dressed correctly."
“…” How can you make mistakes when wearing clothes?
Shu Chi came out shortly after, and then Yi Rong arrived with Jing Ting, He Ping and Yi Huai. They went into a sheltered area to change clothes, and soon came out in ground clothes.
When everyone was gathered, Kong Wei stood up. She was still wearing her ordinary training clothes, which fit her body loosely and comfortably.
Yan Xunzhi didn't know why, but when he saw her loose clothes, he felt like he was being squeezed and couldn't breathe anymore.
"The ultimate goal of training Baita trainees is to perform ground operations," Kong Wei said. "In the future, you will be wearing ground activity suits, so it's helpful to get used to them in advance."
"But resources are limited, and the ground activity suits are made of special materials and are quite expensive. You have to pay for the clothes yourself, so the White Tower doesn't force everyone to wear them on the surface, and there's no instruction manual. Most people will feel very uncomfortable when they first put them on—just like you. If you go offline, you could easily die on the surface."
During the underground era, forced by the worsening reality, the Federation decided to implement collective incubation, collective raising, and collective cultivation. To a certain extent, people became items in the assembly line.
Most of the students who are not eliminated will become consumables and will no longer receive much attention. Thousands of people die on the ground every year.
These people are considered "natural selection" in the federation.
Underground resources are scarce, and a considerable amount of materials must be obtained from the surface. However, the variation of surface organisms is complex, and if surface activity clothing is uniformly distributed, the clothes will likely be scrapped if people die on the surface, which is a huge waste of resources.
Therefore, the Federation does not require the White Tower to provide ground activity clothing. Whoever values life can pay, and if they don’t pay, then forget it.
Anyway, there are exoskeletons that can also withstand the harsh environment on the ground.
However, once the exoskeleton is damaged and stops working, and there is no ground protective clothing after being taken offline, the survival rate is only 5% if exposed to the ground for more than 40 minutes.
However, for most operations, it is difficult to get back underground within 40 minutes of being offline.
"You are the first group of students I teach at Canxing. This set of clothes is my welcome gift to you."
Kong Wei's tone was relaxed, as if he really felt it was quite meaningful, so he prepared a small gift to give out casually, "When you train with me in the future, I hope you will participate in the ground activity suit."
Such an expensive gift. Shu Chi subconsciously calculated the price in his head, then took a deep breath and whispered to Yan Xunzhi, "Do you know how expensive this suit is? Few people in Canxing are willing to buy it!"
Even if calculated based on the lowest-grade ground activity clothing on the market, this set of clothes would be enough for a student to eat for three years if he saved up.
And what Kong Wei gave was obviously not the lowest-level activity suit.
As expected, high rank means wealth, and wealth means capriciousness...
The wealthy instructor was so generous and sincere in spending money that Yan Xunzhi suddenly felt burdened.
As the saying goes, one should be grateful to the one who has helped him. Although she is lazy, she is a lazy person with a good conscience. Kong Wei suddenly gave such valuable things, and gave them sincerely, whether it was clothes or extra training, it was completely for their own good.
This is the hardest thing to do for your own good. Before he can pay her back... Yan Xunzhi really can't bring himself to not come to training.
But from what she said, this extra training can be completed in one or two times.
She looked up at the sky silently, tears streaming down her face. Oh, heaven...
She is just an ordinary student who wants to live an ordinary life...
First, conduct an offline combat drill. All five of them enter an open area and roughly define the area. Two against four, Kong Wei and Jing Ting are responsible for the attack, and the rest of the people escape.
There is nothing better and faster than actual combat to understand their weaknesses.
At Kong Wei's command, Yan Xunzhi and Jing Ting, both sentries, were the first to engage in close combat, while the other three quickly scattered and escaped in all directions.
Kong Wei stood in the center for half a second, looking around before moving. Her speed was surprisingly fast, and in a flash, she appeared behind Shu Chi. She had no weapon, so she grabbed Shu Chi and threw him behind her.
Shu Chi had never seen such a move before and was completely unprepared. He was thrown away by her and crashed into Yan Xunzhi with a bang, and then braked in the middle of the circle.
The two men were dizzy and Ping Yihuai was quickly entangled by Jing Ting.
When it comes to offline combat, Ping Yihuai is no match for Jing Ting. He can only dodge with difficulty and has no room to escape. He lasts six rounds before being knocked down.
Kong Weize then pounced sideways to grab Yi Rong.
She was the last one to be attacked, and she was prepared, so she ducked down to avoid her attack.
Just as he was about to roll in the opposite direction and run again, he suddenly felt that his movements were slower than usual. He couldn't dodge at this speed. If he continued to run, he would only be hit like Shu Chi.
This was a preliminary test; Kong Wei wanted to see how far their skills had come. It would be meaningless if they didn't give their all. Yi Rong had no choice but to bite the bullet and draw his sword to strike at Kong Wei.

Pickled Fish: If I don’t want this gift, can I refuse it? I want to rest...
Kong Wei: No. More exercise will help improve.
