Chapter 17 Scores and Secrets

"I'm so hungry."

Qian Shen touched his stomach. He had no interest in the paintings in the exhibition. He just wanted to find a place to have a big meal.

After all, he had just finished his physical training and rushed here, and he was so hungry that he felt he could eat a cow.

"I'll go see if there's anything delicious."

After saying hello to his fellow classmates, Qian Shen started looking around the exhibition.

The students who came to the exhibition with him were also used to this.

They study Taoism diligently and train their bodies every day, so the nutrition they need and the amount of food they eat naturally far exceed that of ordinary people.

For a top student like Qian Shen who studies hard 24 hours a day, he needs to eat even more every day. If he only eats five meals a day, his tutor will worry about whether he has a poor appetite.

At this moment, Qian Shen's eyes suddenly lit up, and his eyes were fixed on the buffet table.

He walked up quickly, grabbed a plate of prawns and swallowed them in a few bites. But after eating for a while, he frowned and asked, "Is this food so unnutritious?"

Qian Shen is a top student in the freshman year of Songyang High School and has always been ranked second in the grade. In addition to his own talent and hard work, the most important thing is of course that his family is rich.

In order to improve the effect of his cultivation, especially the effect of body training, the food he ate in the past was rich in various immortal elements.

For a person like him who only cares about scores, whether it tastes good or not is secondary. The most important thing is whether it can improve the efficiency of his practice.

Of course, he could afford to eat the seafood provided by the exhibition buffet on weekdays, but he had no interest in spending money to satisfy his appetite. Instead, he felt that it was a waste of his time and appetite.

What seafood, what feast... can't improve grades? That's just garbage.

So Qian Shen looked at the other dishes on the table and called the waiter to ask if there was any other food that could be used as a tonic.

"Everything edible is here, take whatever you want."

Hearing the waiter's somewhat cold voice, Qian Shen couldn't help but frowning, and when he looked up, he saw a familiar face.

Qian Shen looked at the waiter's uniform and asked in surprise, "You work here?"

"Yeah." Bai Zhenzhen said expressionlessly: "Anything else?"

Qian Shen frowned and said, "Are you short of money?"

"Then hurry up and sign a contract with the student union. Otherwise, continuing to waste your time on this meaningless work will only hinder your path to immortality."

"By then, even if I surpass you, it won't be that meaningful."

Qian Shen's tone was full of sighs. After all, he had always regarded Bai Zhenzhen, the only girl in the same grade who could surpass him in total score, as his rival.

In his opinion, Bai Zhenzhen should think the same way.

In the next three years of high school, the entire grade and even the entire school will be a battlefield where these two geniuses will compete against each other, yet also respect each other.

The two of them should be able to break through their limits in repeated competitions, and eventually be admitted to a top university together in three years.

But in the face of Qian Shen's sigh, Bai Zhenzhen just said calmly: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Before Qian Shen could answer, Bai Zhenzhen continued, "You are a guy with a total score of just over 600, and you want to teach me, who has a total score of 650, how can I do things?"

Faced with Bai Zhenzhen's blatant discrimination against grades, Qian Shen, as a staunch supporter of the score-only theory, instantly lost his momentum. The 50-point gap was like a mountain crashing down on him.

You have a high score, so what you said makes sense.

At this moment, in Qian Shen's eyes, it seemed as if there were three glittering numbers 650 above Bai Zhenzhen's head, emitting a strong sense of oppression, which made him unable to utter a word of rebuttal.

Bai Zhenzhen frowned: "No, you are talking to me, why are you looking over my head?"

Qian Shen snorted coldly, turned around and left.

"Just wait, Bai Zhenzhen. If you keep wasting your time like this, it won't be long before I surpass you."

But I didn't expect that after turning around and taking a few steps, I almost bumped into two security guards.

It was Zhang Yu who came over to check the situation of both parties, and Zhao Tianxing who was dragged over by him.

Just now, seeing that Bai Zhenzhen and Qian Shen seemed to have some conflict, Zhang Yu, the security guard, hurried over.

Qian Shen looked at the two people. Although they were wearing security uniforms, they were classmates after all. He recognized their identities at a glance: "550 and 580?"

Zhang Yu was slightly stunned when he heard this title, and the next moment he realized that 550 was his total score in last month's monthly exam, and 580 seemed to be Zhao Tianxing's total score?

Good guy, he only cares about grades and can't even remember his classmates' names? Another guy who studies too hard.

But in fact, Qian Shen couldn't just remember the names. In fact, he couldn't even remember the names and scores of students with scores below 550.

After all, for him... below 550? Aren't they all NPCs? Is it necessary to remember? For example, the 550 in front of him, in Qian Shen's eyes, is already a sub-human.

Based on his observations during this period, the other party will most likely score below 550 in the next monthly exam, so there will be no need to memorize anything starting next month.

Looking at the security uniforms on Zhang Yu and Zhao Tianxing, Qian Shen shook his head again: "Why are you working here too?"

Facing 550 and 580, the aura that had just been suppressed by 650 instantly rose back from Qian Shen's body, and he said proudly: "Why don't you two seize the time to study and practice more? Why are you wasting time coming here?"

Zhang Yu: "Aren't you coming here too?"

Qian Shen laughed and said confidently: "I specially pushed aside my make-up class time today in order to come here to comprehend the peerless martial arts in the Heavenly Man Martial Arts Diagram."

Zhang Yu: "Yes, we are also here to comprehend the Heavenly Man Martial Arts Diagram."

"And by the way, I can get 800 an hour."

"Isn't it a better deal to make money and comprehend divine skills at the same time?"

"Hmm?" Qian Shen was slightly stunned when he heard that. He looked at Zhang Yu in front of him with some surprise, and thought to himself, "What the person with 550 points said actually makes some sense?"

He looked at Zhang Yu and said, "550, I will remember you."

"My name is Zhang Yu!" Zhang Yu couldn't help but look at the top of his head again: "Why do you keep staring at me?"

But Qian Shen quickly reacted: "No, you two want to comprehend the Heaven and Man Martial Arts Diagram?"

Zhao Tianxing only felt that more and more people were looking at him, and Qian Shen's contemptuous gaze made his cheeks slightly red. He quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, no, I don't want to comprehend the Heaven and Man Martial Arts Diagram."

Qian Shen was too lazy to pay attention to Zhao Tianxing's explanation. He just shook his head and sighed, "The Heavenly Martial Arts Diagram was drawn by a Jindan master himself. The peerless martial arts contained in it are specially used to select true geniuses. Even I don't have absolute confidence in practicing it, let alone you?"

After saying that, Qian Shen was no longer interested in looking at the 550 and 580 in front of him, so he turned around and left.

Looking at Qian Shen's departing back, Zhao Tianxing's expression became even more bitter.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Not only did the other party see that he was working as a security guard, but because of Zhang Yu's nonsense, the other party mistakenly thought that he came to comprehend the Heavenly Martial Arts Diagram.

Zhao Tianxing was filled with bitterness, as if he had already seen himself being laughed at by many of his classmates.

He thought to himself, "This is such a disgrace."

Zhang Yu, who was standing by, did not have as many thoughts as Zhao Tianxing. He looked at Bai Zhenzhen and asked, "Are you okay? You and Qian Shen don't have a good relationship?"

Bai Zhenzhen curled her lips and said casually: "What can happen to me? In most cases, he brings humiliation upon himself."

Then she looked at Zhang Yu with a strange look in her eyes: "Are you also planning to comprehend the Heavenly Martial Arts Diagram?"

Looking at Zhang Yu nodding confidently, Bai Zhenzhen thought to herself, "Yuzi has been driven more and more crazy by the huge debt. With his level... he even wants to comprehend the martial arts left by Jindan Zhenren?"

Zhao Tianxing, who was standing by, just wanted to leave here quickly. He pulled Zhang Yu's clothes and was about to leave, but found that he was winking at Bai Zhenzhen.

Then he saw Bai Zhenzhen secretly put a portion of seafood into Zhang Yu's arms.

Zhang Yu: "Old Zhao, would you like to try one?"

Zhao Tianxing said anxiously: "The captain said we can't eat at the buffet."

As he spoke, he hurriedly used his body to block Zhang Yu, fearing that this would be seen by others.

Zhang Yu said casually, "It just so happens that Ah Zhen is also working here. We can take advantage of this opportunity to get some benefits from the company."

Just as Zhang Yu was tasting the prawns on the plate, a voice came from behind Zhao Tianxing.

"What are you doing?"

The voice scared Zhao Tianxing, but when he turned around and found that the person who spoke was Zhou Tianyi from the same class, he felt relieved.

Unconsciously, Zhao Tianxing seemed to have gradually adapted to wearing security uniform in front of his classmates.

Zhang Yu looked at Zhou Tianyi in surprise and asked, "Old Zhou, you're here too?"

Zhou Tianyi smiled and said, "Well, I came here with Qian Shen and the others."

Zhang Yu: "Really? Why didn't I see you just now?"

Zhou Tianyi said: "Haha, why are you here?"

The two chatted with each other about their respective situations, and Zhao Tianxing on the side urged Zhang Yu again to continue patrolling.

Zhou Tianyi suddenly said mysteriously, "There is some gossip about Jindan Zhenren. Are you interested in listening to it?"

Seeing Zhang Yu showing curiosity, Zhao Tianxing said: "The captain has urged us in the group, asking where we are..."

Zhang Yu nodded: "Forget it, work is more important, I'll listen to you next time."

Just as the two turned to leave, Zhou Tianyi said, "Xinghuo Zhenren lost half of his cultivation after leaving his job, so he plans to retreat back one level."

"Um?"

Zhang Yu and Zhao Tianxing immediately turned around and waited for Zhou Tianyi to speak next.

Although Bai Zhenzhen didn't look over, she pricked up her ears and listened.

Zhou Tianyi smiled and continued, "The longest a Jindan Zhenren can live is 400 years, but Xinghuo Zhenren was already 350 years old last year and was optimized by the Wanfa Sect."

"When he resigned, half of his cultivation was taken away from him. He was unable to support the expenses above, so he wanted to return to the first floor of Kunxu to concentrate on training his offspring and disciples."

Zhang Yu was once again shocked by this bullshit world: "No... I have to take away half of my cultivation when I leave?"

Zhou Tianyi said as a matter of course: "The sect trained him and gave him the opportunity and resources to form a pill. Isn't it normal for him to hand over half of his cultivation when he leaves?"

Just as the three were listening to Zhou Tianyi's news about Master Xinghuo, the crowd in the distance suddenly became agitated.

A guest whispered, "Ms. Li is here. The Heaven and Man Martial Arts Show is about to be revealed."
