Chapter 6: It has nothing to do with gender, it only depends on strength and weakness. It’s too expensive!

All the freshmen took a flying vehicle to the entrance of the deep valley jungle. For safety reasons, everyone was divided into several groups. After being divided into groups, they received supplies. After everyone had received guns and bullets, they could enter the entrance of the jungle.

The training teacher leading the team this time was Xu Meng. She said: "You may encounter some low-level insects and beasts in the deep valleys and dense forests. If there is danger, you can kill them directly. Bring your own gun. It can save your life at critical moments."

After hearing this, all the freshmen held their guns tightly and walked into the dense forest. Xu Meng and several teachers sat in the cockpit of the aircraft and patrolled in the air above the dense forest, always paying attention to the occurrence of accidents in order to be prepared for timely rescue.

There are four people in Su Shui's group, one of whom is his roommate Misagaia, and the other two are unfamiliar male classmates.

The ratio of male to female freshmen admitted by Romeda Imperial School is about the same every year. Sometimes there are more boys than girls, and sometimes there are more girls than boys, but the difference is not much.

These days, Su Shui discovered that on this planet, people's awareness of gender is relatively vague. It is very common for men and women to be arm in arm, and it is not an ambiguous relationship, but more like brothers.

In addition, she also discovered that there was not much difference in physical strength between men and women. There was no gender division in any competition, but rather a mixed one, and many girls beat boys.

It can be said that here, there is absolutely no gender bias, only strength and weakness are considered.

At first Su Shui thought Misagaia was bullied because she was a weak girl, but now it seems that it is most likely not because of her gender.

Just now, she saw Misa Hidetoshi taking control of another weak boy.

This clearly shows that if you are bullied here, there is only one possibility: your strength is not recognized and respected by the other party.

Su Shui suddenly thought of what his mother said to him when he was six years old, "Su Shui, you have to remember that if you want to become a truly strong person in the future, you can't admit that you are a weak person. In the civilized society on Earth, humans are born with gender differences. In terms of physical strength, men have a crushing advantage."

"In an era of rapid productivity development, men have used this advantage to allow patriarchy to dominate social status. This innate advantage has led many men to develop a mentality of looking down on women."

"In traditional etiquette, being courteous to ladies is a gentleman's demeanor. In this world, not every man is a gentleman."

"Meeting a good man depends on luck, and luck is always an uncontrollable factor. But your own strength is different, and you can make yourself stronger. Su Shui, you have to remember that when you demand that the other person be a gentleman and want to rely on him, you no longer have the qualities that a strong person should have, because you place your hopes and responsibilities on others."

"Even if women are born with gender disadvantages, we cannot complain. We need to accept this reality and work hard to overcome it and change it."

"Mom won't ask anything of you, but she hopes that you have the courage and ability to stand on your own in the world. You will understand that if you want to win respect, you must speak with strength. It has nothing to do with gender, only strength."

Thinking of this, Su Shui's mood began to grow heavy, and he murmured, "Mom, I came to a world without gender differences. Did you see it?"

Su Shui came to his senses and turned around, glancing at the other two unfamiliar teammates. One was eating snacks the whole time, and the other had the same expression from beginning to end, looking arrogant. The contemptuous look was extremely insulting, especially when it was looking at himself and Misagaia, as if asking why he was teamed up with two A-level rookies.

This person's attitude towards the foodie was obviously different and very gentle.

Su Shui had already guessed the reason for the different treatment.

After the foodie finished eating the chicken leg, he raised his head and smiled at Su Shui. He walked over and said, "My name is Lu Ding, I'm a double-s sense. Hello."

"Su Shui, sense a."

"Misagaia, sense a."

"Jiang Nanhe, sense s."

As expected, he is a bully of the weak and afraid of the strong.

Jiang Nanhe was the first to extend his hand to Lu Ding, who politely shook his hand and said to Su Shui and Misagaia, "This brother is a bit shy when meeting female classmates, please don't mind."

Su Shui opened the cup and drank a big gulp of water, then slapped Jiang Nanhe hard on the shoulder. Jiang Nanhe almost couldn't stand still, and he felt nauseous and was about to fall to the ground. Fortunately, Lu Ding helped him up and he was not seriously injured.

Su Shui joked, "I'm sorry, I just wanted to say hello to classmate Jiang, but I didn't expect to use too much force."

Lu Ding said nothing, but just looked at Su Shui silently, feeling that something was not right.

Jiang Nanhe was a little furious. If an A-level person wanted to attack him for whatever reason, he should have sensed it in advance. It was impossible for him to be hit without any foresight.

Moreover, that palm strike just now was not a greeting at all, it was clearly a declaration of sovereignty!

My heart still hurts at this moment. This woman controlled the strength and position very well. Although she didn't kill me, she was quite cruel.

"It's okay, these minor injuries are nothing." Jiang Nanhe said casually.

Su Shui raised the corners of his lips with a half-smile, "As expected, those who can enter the Imperial School are all thick-skinned. If you can't stand a light slap, it would be really embarrassing!"

Jiang Nanhe looked very unhappy.

Su Shui successfully established her authority, and now Lu Ding's eyes looked at her with a changed look.

"Let's set off now. If we are late, we will be ranked behind," said Luding.

"Okay." Su Shui responded.

In this way, the four people started their cross-country journey. The entire competition area was divided into three venues: the first venue was a forest, the second was a canyon, and the third was a muddy and rocky area.

There will be different insects and monsters in these three venues, and their first task now is to pass through the forest.

Su Shui jogged along while observing the terrain and environment. She discovered that the trees on the planet Romeda were generally much taller than those on Earth, and there were many more species. She had never seen most of the plants before.

At this time, Su Shui smelled a smell of blood, and Lu Ding also stopped. After a few seconds, a roar sounded.

Misagaia trembled all over, took a few steps back, and said in a trembling voice: "This... This is the green worm monster coming."

Su Shui held the gun tightly in his hand, ready to attack at any time. Lu Ding stepped forward, stopped Su Shui, and said calmly: "This is the sound of the green worm beast. It is not an ordinary worm beast. You retreat, I will deal with it."

Just as he finished speaking, an enormous green toad jumped up from mid-air, and sat cross-legged on the ground with a "bang", using several large trees as its cushion.

Su Shui felt a little disgusted when he saw this scene. This thing was clearly a toad magnified by a magnifying glass. It was so ugly!

There was still some blood on the green worm monster's feet and body, and it was obvious that it had injured someone.

Misagaia stood there trembling. Su Shui walked over to her, patted her shoulder gently, and said softly, "Don't be afraid."

"Um."

Jiang Nanhe said: "I never thought that a B-level insect beast would appear in the deep valley and dense forest. We are lucky this time. Only Lu Ding can solve this thing! If it really doesn't work, we can only call for help!"

"Is it really that scary?" Su Shui asked back.

"It's a B-class insect beast. I'm afraid its perception is even stronger than that of the Double S. And look at its size and strength. Even the four of us combined are no match for it!"

Su Shui narrowed his eyes and stared coldly at the green worm monster.

This giant toad had two large eyeballs bulging outward like light bulbs. Su Shui could even see himself in its eyeballs. The toad was extremely excited to see humans. Its saliva was already flowing one meter away. The stench was overwhelming. It seemed that this creature could eat humans.

I must be very hungry now!

It raised one foot, and seeing that humans were small, it wanted to try to step on Ludin. However, it didn't expect that the moment it raised its foot, Ludin rushed up quickly, pulled out two sharp throwing knives from its waist, and stabbed at the center of the toad's feet without any hesitation.

"Z——"

The big toad howled in pain, and its eyes began to turn ferocious.

It was ready to jump up and sit on Luding to death. Su Shui quickly planned an assassination plan in her mind. She immediately took out her gun and fired a bullet at the toad's eyes. Then she jumped up and took the two throwing knives from Luding's hands. She slashed the toad's belly with one knife and stabbed the toad's heart deeply with the other knife. Finally, she gave it a whirlwind kick.

The big toad's cry became even more miserable.

Although each of Su Shui's moves was deadly, the length of the flying knife was not enough to completely kill the monster in front of her, so she shouted to Lu Ding and Jiang Nanhe, "Use the gun to blind the other eye of this ugly monster! Aim at its heart!"

Lu Ding and Jiang Nanhe fired at Su Shui's instruction. The big toad felt that it was about to die, so it jumped and ran deep into the woods, leaving behind a trail of excrement and foul-smelling pus.

Su Shui turned around and met the gazes of Lu Ding and Jiang Nanhe. The way they looked at him was completely different from what it was at the beginning.

This is the look they give themselves when they look at them with new eyes.

The battle with the giant toad has changed their opinion of Su Shui, who looks weak and hungry.

Misagaia's eyes were watery, filled with only envy and admiration for Su Shui. She subconsciously touched the gun in her hand.

The fight with the toad just now consumed most of Su Shui's energy. She jumped too high. If it wasn't for her life, Su Shui estimated that she would never have thought that she could jump so high. Just those few movements made her feel limp now.

Also, it was thanks to the fact that she had a combat system in her mind to deal with toads, otherwise she would probably be on her last breath now.

Ludin thoughtfully took out some food from his bag and handed it to Su Shui, "Eat it quickly. If it weren't for your help, I might not have been able to defeat this green worm monster. I didn't expect you to be so powerful! These are the food I brought. Eat these and you will have strength."

"Okay, thank you." Su Shui took the food and started eating. Lu Ding then handed her a bottle of light yellow drink. Su Shui took a sip and immediately felt full of energy. She took a look at the drink's packaging, which said "Water of Life".

"This bottle of water is pretty good." Su Shui praised casually.

"This is the water of life. Have you never drunk it?" Ludin showed a very curious expression. There are very few people who have not drunk the water of life these days, especially this kind of water of life that every household knows about...

He became more and more curious about Su Shui.

He is obviously a powerful person, so why is his perception only at level A? Is it because he has never drunk the Water of Life?

Judging from the fight between Su Shui and the green worm monster just now, although her strength is not as good as mine, her whole movement is very beautiful. She was able to beat the green worm monster and make it run away, which shows that her strength is still good, and her combat strategy is very good. It's a pity that her perception is only level A, otherwise she would be a very good commander and individual soldier.

But don't worry, physical strength can be improved through training. If you practice hard, it will be no problem for you to become an excellent individual soldier.

Thinking of this, Lu Ding specifically reminded Su Shui, "After this cross-country race, remember to buy a few more boxes of Life Water. Maybe it can improve your perception."

Su Shui's first reaction was, "How much is this bottle of T Life Water?"

Ludin replied: "10 Star Coins per bottle."

"10 star coins for one bottle? So expensive??"

Lu Ding was stunned for a moment, "Is 10 star coins expensive?"

Su Shui lowered his head, "It's expensive, too expensive..."

Lu Ding: “…” Is there anyone who still thinks 10 star coins are expensive these days?

Now Su Shui suddenly realized that since she entered the Imperial Academy, she seemed to have never seen a poor person. Not to mention whether they were poor people who came from the slums like her, she had never seen anyone who was slightly poor...

Each of them is from a prominent family, and no matter how poor they are, they are all rich second-generations.

She seemed to live in two different worlds from the students of this school. It seemed that there were no poor people on this planet.
