Ma Zechao’s words came true. In fact, it was not that sudden. Those who had some sources of information knew about the policy reform in advance.
Only those whose family background was not good enough were stunned by the news.
Some are happy, some are sad.
Except for the senior students, the younger students discussing this matter can be seen almost everywhere on campus.
Gao Han met Zhang Hao and his two friends in the training room and heard Zhang Hao’s two friends also complaining about this matter.
One of them is in Class Four and the other is in Class Five. If they work harder, it won't be difficult to move up one class. But it's not that I feel too disappointed. On the contrary, I feel sorry for him.
"With Brother Gao's ability to defeat Chen Siqin, it would have been easy for him to advance to the next class, but this happened. He is so unlucky." They also went to watch the game. If Gao Han had not walked too fast at that time, they would have gone up to congratulate him.
"Brother Gao, why don't you react at all?" After everyone said a few words, they found that his reaction was indifferent.
Gao Han really didn't care, "This is good too."
"That's because you don't know. The school's allocation of external resources only started this semester." Zhang Hao really thought that he didn't know these things and was worried about him.
"You mean the disaster area?" Gao Han raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, the first semester of the first year is all about theoretical knowledge, and the second half of the second semester is the time to really go out and gain experience."
Gao Han had just entered school and his mind was completely focused on the bone powder. Until this matter was resolved, he could not do anything else. He only heard people in Class 9 mention it but had never asked about it in detail.
But now that the bone powder is almost solved, it doesn’t hurt to give it a listen.
As soon as he asked, Zhang Hao told him everything he knew.
"Different disaster areas have different levels of resources available for cultivation. Generally speaking, the greater the danger, the less developed it is, and the richer the resources.
In order to ensure the safety of freshmen and stimulate their enterprising spirit, the school has made detailed divisions of external resources for each class.
For example, if the highest external resource for Class 1 is a disaster area of Class A, then the external resource for Class 9 is a disaster area of Class E or F.
Both Class E and Class F are disaster areas that have been developed countless times, and the resources within have long been plundered.
As the years go by, there are not many resources left for those who come after.
Although the school will no longer make strict divisions in this regard in the second semester of the second grade, one year is still a long time, and the gap between us and other classes will only get bigger and bigger, and it will be very difficult to catch up. "
Zhang Hao hasn't experienced this yet, but his seniors who usually take good care of him have told him about these things.
Let him not think that one year is nothing, he should fight for what he should fight for as soon as possible.
"What exactly is this disaster area you keep talking about?" There was almost no content in this regard in the original owner's memory, and Gao Han could not capture any useful information.
Zhang Hao and the other two did not show the slightest bit of surprise. They had more or less heard about Gao Han's experience. Besides, there were still many students in the first grade who did not know about these things.
Through their explanations, Gao Han finally slowly made up for the missing parts of his understanding of the earth during his two lifetimes.
The existence of the disaster area can be traced back to a thousand years ago.
After the renewable resources on the earth's land were exhausted by humans, due to mutations, many places were no longer suitable for human survival and habitation, so human leaders set their sights on the ocean.
They decided to reclaim land.
Land reclamation is a huge project, but after hundreds of years of hard work, humans have finally used their technology to create a lot of habitable land along the coast.
Later, something unexpected happened. Strange things started happening one after another in these places that were developed through land reclamation.
One of the strange things is that the grass and trees grew luxuriantly, even breaking the growth rules of plants, as if they had taken hormones, and grew dozens of times faster.
The second strange thing is that animals mutated. Not only did they become stronger, but their personalities also became extremely violent and manic. The once docile pets also began to attack humans.
The third strange thing is that the land under our feet began to soften, and in some places it turned into wetlands or lakes. The houses and buildings that once stood there were all swallowed up and covered with thick grass and trees.
The fourth strange thing is that some creatures that only exist in deep sea areas have appeared on land. Some have even evolved limbs and are very powerful, making it difficult for ordinary humans to resist.
Such strange phenomena occurred one after another, not only in China, but also in some inland countries. Mutation occurred wherever there were seas or lakes. Due to the rapid mutation speed, the population dropped sharply.
But everything has two sides.
Although the earth has undergone abnormal changes, bringing huge disasters to mankind, they have also discovered that a lot of spiritual energy has been derived from the places where these disasters occurred, especially the more dangerous the place, the more abundant the spiritual energy.
Later, humans stabilized the chaotic order caused by the mutation, blocked all the disaster areas, and divided them into levels.
There are two standards for classifying disaster areas, namely the spiritual energy and the strength of the creatures there.
When there are fewer and fewer spiritual energy and powerful creatures in an area, the danger of the area will decrease and the level will continue to drop.
After the school policy changed, Gao Han's Class 9 would only have access to EF-level disaster area resources for the next semester.
For these two levels of disaster areas, not to mention the biological resources, the spiritual energy alone is almost negligible for an F-level disaster area.
The more advanced your cultivation is, the more resources you will need. If you don’t have resources, it will become increasingly difficult to move forward.
Gao Han was able to make breakthroughs one after another because he used talismans regardless of cost and squeezed out the last bit of spiritual energy left in some places.
In addition, the several spiritual beads in the Netherworld also brought him great benefits.
To put it bluntly, his cultivation level was built up with money, but it is not so easy to improve further, as some things cannot be bought with money.
It would be extremely difficult to improve resources by relying solely on the surrounding resources without going to the disaster area to find resources.
In addition, there are also many refining resources in the advanced disaster areas.
Many weapon masters either went to the disaster area themselves or hired spirit refiners to go to high-level disaster areas to find resources for them.
If Gao Han wants to go up, he must go to the disaster area.
A fearful person will stand still and watch others move forward and get farther and farther away from him.
Gao Han actually had some guesses in his mind all along, but he didn't expect the situation to be so serious. No wonder the seniors often came back after a long time.
After returning, he collected information from various sources.
Combining all the information together and keenly noticing some strange things, he discovered that the situation on Earth was actually more serious than what Zhang Hao and the others had said. The reason why there was no news about this on the Internet was probably that the government was concealing something.
Gao Han felt a little nervous and vaguely thought that he might have discovered the reason for the future destruction of the Earth.
He was not sure whether his guess was correct, and could only prove it when he came into contact with more things in the future.
The plan to become stronger cannot be delayed any longer.
Gao Han decided to speed up his pace.
Although the school has stipulated external resources for new students, he captured another feasibility from Zhang Hao's words.
After his cultivation recovers, or after he breaks through to the fifth level, maybe he can give it a try. It’s a little early to talk about this now.
After the excitement, Gao Han calmed down.
You can have plans, but you still have to take one step at a time.
The next morning, he went to the school library.
I swiped my school card to enter, and as I entered the gate I saw an old man wearing reading glasses sitting next to me.
The old man was holding a current newspaper in his hand, reading it carefully, as if he didn't notice Gao Han's arrival.
When Gao Han walked past him, the old man's seemingly cloudy eyes glanced at him through his thick glasses, and a sharp light of scrutiny suddenly flashed across his face.
Gao Han instantly felt goose bumps on his back, and when he tried to capture that fleeting feeling, it had disappeared without a trace.
He turned his head and glanced at the old man who was reading a newspaper, then left without saying anything.
"What a sensitive little kid." The old man laughed softly.
This is Gao Han's first time to come to the library.
The interior space is much larger than it looks from the outside, with countless books neatly stacked on the stacked bookshelves.
It was quiet inside, with only the slightest sound of footsteps. Everyone was reading or writing at their study seats, and almost no one was talking.
Gao Han used the library's machine to check, and it showed that the book he wanted was on the third floor. However, when he got to the third floor, he was stopped by the gatekeeper.
"What grade are you in?" asked the gatekeeper.
"First grade."
"Except for Area A, you can enter other areas." The gatekeeper reminded as usual.
After Gao Han entered, he found that even if he didn't remind himself, he couldn't enter Area A because the door of Area A was closed. Only second-year students with campus cards could enter, and first-year students were not allowed to enter for the time being.
Gao Han looked around areas B and C but didn't find what he was looking for. Perhaps that thing was in area A.
It seems like this was a wasted trip. He originally wanted to check what kind of creatures the pieces of meat and other parts that Zhongli in black gave him came from, but he didn't expect the school to be so strict in this regard.
"Gao Han?"
Gao Han heard a familiar voice, turned around and saw Luo Xinxin who had noticed him and was walking towards him.
Luo Xinxin was surprised. The information on this floor was all related to that area's resources, and only people who knew the situation would come here.
"By the way, you left too quickly last time, and I didn't have time to congratulate you on defeating Chen Siqin. I didn't expect you to be so well hidden. With what you did back then, I think it's more than enough for you to enter the first class."
"Thank you. Do you know what information is in Area A?" Luo Xinxin could tell at a glance that she was a frequent visitor here.
Luo Xinxin chuckled, "It seems that you know a lot. There are books related to the disaster area in there. Some of them are confidential and are not easily shown to freshmen. I think they are currently consolidating their cultivation in school and there is no need to be exposed to such in-depth things."
Gao Han said: "You know everything."
Luo Xinxin shrugged. "My elders told me that if you really want to take a look, you can ask a sophomore or senior to take you in. The materials inside are not allowed to be borrowed."
Apart from Zhongli Tingzhou, he didn't know the students from other grades, but Gao Han didn't want Zhongli Tingzhou to know what he was going to investigate.
Luo Xinxin knew what he was worried about at a glance, and smiled as she gave him some practical advice: "In fact, with your looks, it's easy to hook up with a senior."
Gao Han did not comment on her suggestion, but just thanked her for her kindness.
"That's all I say. I'm leaving first." Luo Xinxin waved her hand gracefully and left the third floor.
After that, Gao Han spent the whole afternoon in areas B and C.
Although the original owner was a top student in academic subjects, he did not know any information about the disaster area. He could take this opportunity to make up for the missing parts.
It took me two days to finish reading it, and another day to organize the information in my mind. In the blink of an eye, it was time to go to Master Jiang again.
Gao Han did not look for Zhongli Tingzhou and planned to go alone this time.
As soon as I walked out of the school gate, I saw a group of people gathered at the door.
In the crowd, there is a figure that stands out from the crowd. He is as tall and straight as a pine tree on a snowy mountain, as condensed as jade. There is a cold and calm dignity between his brows, and he is as cold and arrogant as an iceberg. Who else could it be but Zhongli Tingzhou.
How could he be here? Gao Han suddenly had a premonition, and saw Zhongli Tingzhou in the crowd suddenly looking straight at him.
At that moment, their eyes met.
Fans were always paying attention to the movements of their idol, and when they noticed his gaze, they followed it to Gao Han. They were stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but wonder if there was any relationship between them.
Gao Han didn't like the feeling of being stared at by so many people for no reason, so he just looked at them for two seconds and then walked away as if nothing had happened.
When he could no longer see the school gate, Zhongli Tingzhou drove up from behind and the passenger seat door opened in front of him.
"Get in the car."
